PCI Frequently Asked Questions
What is PCI DSS?
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. This standard (commonly known as 'PCI') represents a set of security standards that ensure the safe handling of payment card data. These standards, also adapted by Rackspace, were created by the five major card companies (American Express, JCB, MasterCard and Visa), this standard comprises 12 distinct requirements that are designed to:
- Build and maintain a secure network
- Protect (cardholder) data in transit or at rest
- Maintain a vulnerability management program
- Implement strong access control measures
- Regularly monitor and test our cloud infrastructure
- Maintain an information/cloud security policy.
Can Rackspace Cloud services be PCI DSS compliant?
No. Our cloud hosting service is considered a shared environment, which prevents it from being PCI DSS compliant. Cloud Servers or Cloud Sites may only be used as part of a backend system that does not store or interact with cardholder data. One of the requirements for PCI DSS compliance is that all cardholder payment and identifying information must be processed and stored on dedicated servers or be handled by a PCI DSS compliant third party service.
What are the PCI DSS requirements?
PCI DSS comprises of 12 requirements. These define the need to:
- Install and maintain a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data
- Avoid vendor-supplied defaults of system passwords and other security parameters
- Protect stored cardholder data
- Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks, and internal infrastructure
- Use and regularly update antivirus software or programs - as applicable in the cloud
- Develop and maintain secure systems and applications
- Restrict access to cardholder data by business need-to-know
- Assign a unique ID to each person with system access
- Restrict physical access to cardholder data
- Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data
- Regularly test security systems and processes within the cloud
- Maintain a policy that addresses information security for employees and contractors assigned to Product or are working on applications and systems within the cloud
Learn more about Rackspace services to asist in your PCI compliance efforts.
What are payment cards?
For PCI DSS purposes, "payment cards" encompasses all credit/debit/cash cards that are issued on any American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard or Visa branding.
What is payment card data?
Payment card data is information pertaining to credit/debit cards and their owner. This data is classified in 2 categories: Card Holder Data and Sensitive Authentication Data. PCI DSS imposes some storage restrictions on data elements making part of these categories.
What is cardholder data?
Cardholder data refers to all information from a credit card or debit card that is used in a transaction. Commonly used elements of cardholder data include the Primary Account Number (PAN), Cardholder Name and Expiration Date displayed on the front of the card. All these elements, and more, are digitally stored on the magnetic stripe at the back of the card.
What is sensitive authentication data?
Sensitive Authentication Data is security related information used to authenticate cardholders and authorize card transactions. Sensitive Authentication Data elements include magnetic stripe data and the Card Validation Code - the three or four digit number security code found either on the front or on the back of a card (a.k.a. CVV, CVV2)
Which elements of the cardholder data can be stored?
The PCI DSS sets out which data elements can be stored and how they should be protected. We can store the PAN, Cardholder Name, and Expiration Date cardholder data elements as long as they are protected. Protection should take the form of encryption using a strong technique such as AES; alternatively, the PAN must be hashed or truncated. This protection is important since the PAN together with one of the other elements is the minimum data required in certain instances for effecting a payment.
Which elements of the sensitive authentication data can be stored?
None. You cannot store Sensitive Authentication Data elements at all, even if encrypted, subsequent to the authorization of a transaction.
Who must comply with the PCI DSS?
Any individual, team, department, or organization that stores, processes, and/or transmits cardholder data must be PCI DSS compliant-regardless of the size of the entity or volume of transactions made. However PCI DSS requirements do not only apply to electronic data. We are duty bound to dispose of printed material which contains payment card details and credit cardholder data in an appropriate way. In large environments where waste management is outsourced to subcontractors such as paper-shred companies, the entities that request such services must make sure that their 'service providers' are PCI DSS complaint as well.
Is there a distinction between merchant types?
All merchants that acquire payment card transactions are categorized in 4 distinct levels, as determined by their number of annual transactions:
- Level 1: Merchants with more than six million card transactions and merchants which cardholder data has been compromised.
- Level 2: Merchants with card transactions between one million and six million
- Level 3: Merchants with card transaction between 20,000 and one million
- Level 4: All other merchants
These levels determine the validation processes that a merchant must undertake in order to achieve and maintain compliance.
Is there a distinction between the different types of service providers?
All service providers that process credit card transactions are categorized in the following 3 levels:
- Level 1: All payment processors and payment gateways
- Level 2: All service providers not in level 1 but with more that 1 million credit card accounts or transactions.
- Level 3: Service providers not in Level 1, with fewer than one million annual credit card accounts or transactions.
These levels determine the validation processes that a service provider must undertake in order to achieve and maintain compliance.
What is a QSA?
Qualified security assessors (QSA) are audit firms that provide professional security auditing services to corporations that need to demonstrate the fruits of their PCI DSS compliance efforts. For list of QSAs, visit: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/pci_qsa_list.pdf
What is an ASV?
An approved scan vendor (ASV) is a vendor that provides network vulnerability and security scanning services to businesses that want to achieve PCI DSS compliance. For a list of ASVs, visit: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/asv_report.html
What is a self-assessment questionnaire?
A self-assessment questionnaire is a reporting requirement of PCI DSS compliance for merchants and service providers. It is completed in-house, without the need to contract 3rd parties. You must fill in this security-related questionnaire that queries the current and past state of network security.
What happens if I am not compliant?
Non-compliance with PCI DSS has its consequences. You could face fines up to $500,000 and expensive litigation costs. From an operational point of view, level 2, 3, or 4 merchants and service providers that have network security breaches, can have their level escalated to level 1. This has an adverse impact in terms of costs since compliance in the level 1 tier is more demanding. In addition, non-compliance impacts brand reputation and exposes corporations to extensive negative publicity that undermines consumer confidence.
What are the benefits of implementing PCI DSS?
PCI DSS is a binding collection of rules that promote information technology security processes. PCI DSS aims to reduce financial fraud through heightened network security capabilities of whoever processes payment card information. There are many benefits of PCI DSS compliance. The most fundamental ones for an organization are:
- Protection of customers' personal data
- Increased customer confidence through a higher level of data security
- Increased protection against financial losses and remediation costs that arise from security breaches
- Maintain customer trust, and safeguard reputation
- Benchmark and assess the security mechanisms of systems that store, process and/or transmit payment cardholder data
How long does it take to move back to my original level after a breach that moved me to level 1?
Moving back to level 1 takes two years, with the first year allocated to fix any procedural errors that enabled the security breach. The second year is a buffering period to ensure that no new security breaches have occurred.

Knowledge is power, but it also costs money. As schools continue to face difficult fiscal years, a proposal by the governor may make their budgets even tighter. YNN's Chris Whalen tells us more about the Cuomo's measure and the peculiar problem that it may cause.
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- Along with jobs and the economy, Governor Andrew Cuomo touted education as a top priority in what he calls the 'New' New York.
"We are still providing education as if we were an agrarian economy in an agrarian society and we needed the children home to work the fields," said Cuomo.
Among the changes Cuomo proposed are longer school days, longer school years and more early education, including more pre-kindergarten offerings statewide.
"Children who receive early education perform 25 percent better on math by the second grade, 20 percent better on English, 30 percent are more likely to graduate from high school, 32 percent are less likely to be arrested as a juvenile," Cuomo said.
Locally, the ideas are met with support, but how they would be implemented leaves some district officials concerned.
"On their own they're great ideas, but we have not seen how they'll be funded, where the money is going to come from, if it's going to be competitive grants, I have some concerns about that because I think we're going to have districts that are going to be the 'haves' and districts that are the 'have-nots,'" said Allen Buyck, superintendent for Broome-Tioga BOCES.
But that's only part of the problem. As many districts face fiscal constraints, more teachers and programs are getting the axe.
In Maine-Endwell, one proposal for next year's budget includes the elimination of kindergarten, since it is not required to be offered in districts by law. Without kindergarten, a pre-kindergarten program would be tough to implement. "If you're going to support UPK and not K, what happens in that in between point and from an educational standpoint it makes no sense," said Jason Van Fossen, superintendent of the Maine-Endwell School District.
Which is one of the reasons Van Fossen says he doesn't support that proposal for his district's budget and a reason that many other districts will have to find even more ways to tighten their belts if pre-k becomes a requirement across the state.

About the Model 607FWith the help of Mr. Thomas King, a local trombone player in Cleveland, Ohio, H.N. White developed his first trombone in 1894 which was viewed in the market as a "revelation" to the music world due to radically different bell, bore and mouthpipe designs than those of other current prevailing models. Players loved the "King" trombone because the slide was finer, smoother, and lighter in action than any other. Since 1894 the King name has been synonymous with world-class high quality brass instruments. World renown artists, the likes of Tommy Dorsey, Ziggy Elman, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, Charlie "The Bird" Parker, and Harry James, all trusted King as their choice of musical instrument. Built in Eastlake, Ohio, today's King professional trombones draw from that musical heritage and continue to set the standard for today's small bore jazz trombones. With a pedigree like no other, King trombones continue to be the choice of jazz artists the world over.
The King 607F tenor is great crossover F attachment trombone. Combining a .525" medium-large bore and 8" yellow brass bell, the 607F has a wonderful tone with excellent projection. The traditional wrap F section promotes clean attacks and stability. The F thumb lever is located behind and to the side of the main brace allowing the weight of the trombone to be cradled between the thumb and first finger making for a very balanced and comfortable instrument. The chrome plated nickel silver inner handslide tubes provide the ideal surface for smooth and quick handslide action. The clear lacquer finish provides a subtle warmth to the overall sound. The 607F is a well designed, durable instrument perfect for students and amateur musicians and is well suited for all types of music. Available in silver-plate finish as model 607FSP.
King "Legend" - .525" bore, key of Bb/F, 8" yellow brass bell, standard wrap F attachment with standard rotor, yellow brass outer slide, clear lacquer finish, King 6-1/2AL mouthpiece, 7548C woodshell case.
Henderson White, founder of the HN White Company, started his business as a proprietor of a small repair shop in Cleveland, Ohio. With the help of Mr. Thomas King, a local trombone player, White developed his first trombone in 1894. This was viewed in the market as a "revelation" to the music world due to its radically different bell, bore, and mouthpipe designs. Players loved the "King" trombone because the slide was smoother and lighter than any other.
These instruments gained immediate success with professionals including Al Pinard, the trombone soloist with Arthur Pryor's Band. In 1909, the HN White Company developed a "Department of Acoustical Research" with the goal of developing higher quality instruments. As production grew, King became known for brass and woodwind instruments. From 1917-1918, the HN White Company was the sole provider of saxophones for the US military during World War I. In the 1920's, King would even become the first US manufacturer of French horns.
When Henderson died in 1940, control was taken over by Edna White, the first women executive officer in the male dominated music industry. Under her leadership the company flourished. As most company's production of brass products halted during World War II, Edna was able to secure two major government contracts making radar units and proximity fuses that kept the factories running.
Coming out of the war, King instruments saw great popularity in the 40's and 50's with names like Tommy Dorsey, Harry James, Ziggy Elman, Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, and Charlie "The Bird" Parker. In 1951, the King 3B trombone was introduced and today is still the world's top selling jazz trombone.
In 1964, production of King Instruments was moved to Eastlake, Ohio outside of Cleveland where they are still made to this day.

Bad news for Big Blue fans. The New York Giants won't be training at UAlbany this summer. YNN's Sports Director Marisa Jacques has the details.
ALBANY, N.Y. — It's been a staple of the summer season in the Capital Region.The New York Giants calling Albany, and UAlbany, their home.
But now, Big Blue says players will be training year-round at the facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
"This year they said they're not going here, there's going to practice down there. At their stadium," said Albany mayor Jerry Jennings.
This move wasn't totally unexpected. Many anticipated the Giants would leave UAlbany in favor of their newly-built training facility next to MetLife Stadium.
Albany's mayor says he's going to work with UAlbany to get the Giants back, even if that means building an indoor facility.
"We are working on a permanent dome for the university and the Giants to use all year long."
The Giants had made the trip up north for the last 16 out of 17 years. That's the longest the team has spent at any training facility.
Giants President and Chief Executive Officer John Mara called UAlbany and the capital Region "great hosts" and said, in part:
"We will evaluate our training camp situation on an ongoing basis and certainly would not rule out a return to Albany in the future if it makes sense for both parties."
UAlbany's leaders say they're disappointed by the move as well.
For businesses that have been counting on Giants fans filling their bars and restaurants since they first moved into the Albany campus in 1996, they're worried what the move will mean to their bottom line.
"This is dependent on this review this summer. It's kinda like Christmas for Sutter's," said Timothy Rodriguez, Sutter's.
"We're expecting sales will be down. We will try and generate revue. 30 thousand less fans in the area."
And for fans, it was a chance to get up close and personal with their favorite players, making them feel like they were a part of the team.
"It stinks, it was nice to be a part of a community with the Giants. It was special," said Julie Scarano, Albany.
But even so, the Capital Region says they'll continue to route for their favorite football team, as they practice in New Jersey.
"The Capital Region will still be here for the giants, so go Big Blue," Rodriguez said.
The dates for the Giants' 2013 training camp will be announced later this spring when the preseason schedule is finalized.

James Ward
English, 1769–1859
The Great Bull, c. 1802
oil on canvas
65.1 x 83.2 cm
Permanent loan to the Winnipeg Art Gallery from the City of Winnipeg, James Cleghorn Collection
James Ward studied with his brother William, a successful mezzotint engraver, and eventually became painter and engraver to the Prince of Wales (1762–1830) in 1794. Ward's interest in engraving quickly waned as he turned to painting, due in part to the influence and successful painting career of his brother-in-law, George Morland. The Great Bull is one of the WAG's finest examples of animal portraiture, and it represents a trend that developed in British painting in the late eighteenth century. The inclusion of animals in landscape painting not only allowed artists to experiment with a new genre of painting, but it also served as a form of social commentary. Images of domesticated animals often acted as references to the stratification of British society, patriarchy, and gendered power relations. After devoting several years to painting animals, Ward turned to large-scale landscape paintings in an attempt to raise his stature as an artist.

The GDP per capita in Egypt is $6,000 while in Aruba it is $21,800
This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The differences between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the wealthy industrialized countries are generally much smaller.

The life expectancy at birth in Egypt is 72.40 while in Aruba it is 75.51.
This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. The entry includes total population as well as the male and female components. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.

With its 80,471,869 people Egypt is the 16th largest country in the world by population. It is the 30th largest country by area with 1,001,450 square kilometers. The regularity and richness of the annual Nile River flood, coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to the east and west, allowed for the development of one of the world's great civilizations. A unified kingdom arose circa 3200 B.C., and a series of dynasties ruled in Egypt for the next three millennia. The last native dynasty fell to the Persians in 341 B.C., who in turn were replaced by the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. It was the Arabs who introduced Islam and the Arabic language in the 7th century and who ruled for the next six centuries. A local military caste, the Mamluks took control about 1250 and continued to govern after the conquest of Egypt by the Ottoman Turks in 1517. Following the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, Egypt became an important world transportation hub, but also fell heavily into debt. Ostensibly to protect its investments, Britain seized control of Egypt's government in 1882, but nominal allegiance to the Ottoman Empire continued until 1914. Partially independent from the UK in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty with the overthrow of the British-backed monarchy in 1952. The completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt. A rapidly growing population (the largest in the Arab world), limited arable land, and dependence on the Nile all continue to overtax resources and stress society. The government has struggled to meet the demands of Egypt's growing population through economic reform and massive investment in communications and physical infrastructure.

Lacking fur, feathers or scales, we humans have to think up clever ways to protect ourselves from the sun. Products with the UPF designation provide built-in sun protection that won't wear off.
UPF stands for "Ultraviolet Protection Factor." This value represents the fractional amount of the sun's harmful UV rays that pass through a fabric. A rating of "25" indicates that only 1/25th , or 4% of the UV rays pass through the garment.
Patagonia products with rated UPF protection are tested independently to meet Australia/New Zealand or AATCC protocols. A rating of 15-24 earns a product a rating of "good"; a rating of 25-39 is ""very good""; and a rating of 40-50+ is "excellent." *

First Line Grabber #28
GENRE: Paranormal Tween
I was born mooning the world.
62 comments:
- Elizabeth said...
Yes! I could picture this immediately (cute baby butt!). I'd love to keep reading.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:31 AM
- Milena said...
Yes! After that sentence, I just couldn't put it down.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:44 AM
- Katherine Ernst said...
No. This one was close for me, but my initial reaction to reading it was: "Aren't we all born mooning the world?" I mean, we're all born naked. If you're going for a mental picture of a breached birth, then this just didn't do it for me for some reason.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:51 AM
- Nicole said...
Can I say maybe? I feel like I've seen this line before.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:51 AM
No. Close for me but not quite enough to draw me in.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:54 AM
- Loralie Hall said...
No. It's short and to the point and clear, but since the story is probably not from the baby's POV, this feels like something tossed in to add artificial pop instead of placing us in the moment.
I might feel differently if I saw what came immediately after, but as a stand alone, my answer is no.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:55 AM
- Alessa Hinlo said...
Yes. It was humorous and I'd keep reading to get more of this voice.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:57 AM
- Cheyenne Hill said...
No. Agreed that since we're all born naked, this doesn't exactly set the MC apart for me. But maybe we're meant to be intrigued by the fact that the MC chooses *this* part of being born to focus on. Which I kind of like. But not really enough.
- February 23, 2012 at 9:59 AM
As has been said, we all come into the world in a similar fashion so there's nothing there to stand out.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:03 AM
- B.E. Sanderson said...
Yes. The sentence got an immediate 'hehe' out of me and made me want to see what came next.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:04 AM
No. Until I read the comments, I was baffled. Now it makes sense, but it feels like hearing the punch line before the joke. I think more set up would bring out the humor.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:05 AM
- AngiNicole said...
Yes! More please!
- February 23, 2012 at 10:06 AM
- Alice said...
Yes, this is funny.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:13 AM
- KimberlyFDR said...
This one was close for me because it does set up a humorous side of your narrator, but we're all born mooning the world. And if you're trying to utilize the image of a breech birth, then I'm not sure humor should be the right way to go.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:15 AM
- Tyson said...
There is humour here. For me. But weren't we all born mooning the world? :D But you got voice off the bat. So I am sold.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:17 AM
- Jean Davis said...
No. We're all born that way so it doesn't feel like anything original.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:20 AM
- MarcyKate said...
Yes. You made me laugh and that pretty much ensures I'll keep reading.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:24 AM
- GSMarlene said...
Just got the image of a breech birth couldn't draw a paranormal connection with that.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:33 AM
- Holly Bodger said...
I almost said Yes but then I read it again and couldn't figure out how you moon the entire world at birth. It's really close though.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:40 AM
- S. Kyle Davis said...
Yes. I agree that technically it doesn't quite bring up the image, but that's not really the point, I don't think. It says quite a bit about the character. Someone who describes their birth like that seems to me to be a very "Tom Sawyer" sort of attitude, a scoundrel.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:44 AM
- Rick said...
Yes. It's funny and irreverent and I like the voice, so I'd keep reading.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:08 AM
- Spiral said...
Yes. Starting with humor worked for me, dispite the over saturation of YA/Tween paranormal stuff. If I didn't know the genre - I'd read on.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:21 AM
- Jessica Negron said...
If the MC is trying to say he was born butt-first, I don't think this was an effective way to say that. The image was confusing to get straight in my head and I don't even know if I got it right.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:24 AM
- A. K. Fotinos-Hoyer said...
No. A lot of babies are born butt-first.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:41 AM
- Erin said...
No. For the same reasons as others have stated. All children are born naked so essentially everyone is born mooning the world.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:42 AM
- Liberty Speidel said...
No. My first thought was, "Aren't most people?"
- February 23, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Yes. Voice is funny and I want to hear what else s/he has to say and how this ties in to the plot/character.
- February 23, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Because there's nothing that stands out about that statement.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:04 PM
- Sara J. Henry said...
No. For me, too cute - maybe if it had more afterward, making clear this is a funny way of saying breech birth.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:07 PM
No, a little to obvious for me. Everyone is born mooning the world.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:54 PM
- Travis said...
It's a great line and tells me the author has a cheeky sense of humor, pun intended.
- February 23, 2012 at 12:55 PM
- Feaky Snucker said...
Yes! This shows voice, and shows a bit about the MC - they've been cheeky since they were born. I'd definitely read on.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:09 PM
- The REALLY Real Curious Crow said...
Yes. While we're all born naked, we're not all born "mooning the world." There's an attitude, a voice, that comes across in the choice of words. Don't know, though, if this is a prankster character or a character who sees the mooning as a sort of "flipping off" to the world. I'd read on to find out!
- February 23, 2012 at 1:09 PM
No- it just doesn't grab me. there's no real tension just a statement. How is this important?
- February 23, 2012 at 1:13 PM
Yes. This made me smile! Simple, but the voice is clear.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:16 PM
- JL Dannor said...
Yes. I want to know why that's important.
- February 23, 2012 at 1:43 PM
- Ru said...
No. It's close, but just not there. Anything that starts with "I was born" reminds me of David Copperfield (and then Catcher in the Rye), so it then has set itself apart immediately, and this just didn't do it for me. It's funny, but not quite funny enough for me to really care.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:13 PM
- Patti said...
No, but I do agree with the others. The voice is there,
- February 23, 2012 at 2:29 PM
- Shakier Anthem said...
No. I agree that it's *almost* there, but I need something else to make this one stand out. As others have gotten at, what made this naked baby different than all other naked babies?
- February 23, 2012 at 2:31 PM
- DJ said...
Cheeky! It made me laugh, so yeah, I'd continue on.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:32 PM
- sarahwedgbrow said...
No. It made me chuckle, but it didn't make me interested.
- February 23, 2012 at 2:38 PM
- skywriter said...
Yes! Cute, and sets the stage. She's not mooning the hospital staff, the setting feels like the outdoors, a little wild.
- February 23, 2012 at 3:41 PM
- Vivi said...
Yes! Funny commentary on the way a person is born.
- February 23, 2012 at 4:15 PM
It was close, though, and I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt. Technically, we're all born mooning the world, but I do like the attitude and irreverance that comes across with the observation.
But this is entirely a sentence that I'm prepared to take on faith that it relates immediately to what's going on in the current scene.
If this sentence is followed by a bunch of exposition about how much of an irreverant attitude the narrator has, then you've lost me. If the sentence is followed by immediate action/consequences where the MC is doing something similar, showing that he hasn't really changed all that much, then I'll find it homorous. (Except mooning strikes me as YA... I might be wrong though)
If, however, this turns into a werewolf story, I will heavily roll my eyes at the over-the-top moon reference on line one.
- February 23, 2012 at 4:38 PM
- Cheryl said...
Yes. Very funny and I immediately get it (that is, assuming the narrator was born breech.)
- February 23, 2012 at 4:46 PM
- sbjames said...
No. My first thought was also, aren't we all? Then, I realized oh, no we aren't, but I wonder if a teen is going to pick up on that subtlety. After all, I've even given birth twice and i had to pause a minute. I don't think you want that on your first line. But, (no pun intneded) I do like the idea/humor- can you rephrase it slightly?
- February 23, 2012 at 6:21 PM
- AG said...
Yes. What a way to start your life, haha.
- February 23, 2012 at 6:25 PM
- Wen Baragrey said...
No. I was born butt-first and I sure wouldn't want to read a book about me. It is funny, and maybe with some context it might work, but as a stand-alone first line it didn't really make me want to read what was next. Sorry.
- February 23, 2012 at 7:54 PM
- Julia said...
Yes. This is hilarious, and I want to see where you're going with it.
- February 23, 2012 at 10:22 PM
- Jo-Ann said...
I actually like the attitude inherant in the voice, but I think I've heard Bart Simpson use that line, or close.
- February 24, 2012 at 12:29 AM
Yes. I get a good sense of the voice, and it's funny (I will almost always vote for funny).
- February 24, 2012 at 1:29 AM
- Steph Su said...
Yes. It made me smile, and want to know what comes next.
- February 24, 2012 at 3:19 AM
- geewiz said...
No. As others have said...felt like I heard this one before.
- February 24, 2012 at 8:59 AM
- Nata ArtistaDonna said...
No. I was.......doesn't work for ....passive...but the mooning the world did get my attention
- February 24, 2012 at 12:26 PM
- Danika dinsmore said...
Many of you are saying we're all born naked, which is true, but "mooning" is a deliberate juvenile act. (and yes, some of my friends and I went "mooning" one night in high school). So, to me, I see a rebel in the first sentence. It's like he flipped off the world as soon as he arrived and has been flipping it off ever since. I sense the posibility of redemption in this story.
And I laughed.
- February 24, 2012 at 3:06 PM
- A Little Push said...
No. This doesn't sound like a natural part of whatever scene it's in, like it's trying too hard.
- February 24, 2012 at 4:22 PM
- macaronipants said...
Yes - if he/she was born butt first. Which happens! But if it's just a clever way to show character, I'd say no.
- February 24, 2012 at 8:38 PM
- JeffO said...
It made me pause for a second, and then made me laugh. And while we're all born naked, we're not all born butt first.
- February 25, 2012 at 8:37 AM
Yes. It's clever and simple --makes me want to read on.
- February 25, 2012 at 4:29 PM
I wish I had a more specific explanation, but it just didn't appeal to me.
- February 25, 2012 at 6:08 PM
- LMT said...
Yes. It's funny. I think the MC is flipping off the world. Perhaps a bit of a jokester.
- February 25, 2012 at 7:10 PM
- Lanette said...
Yes. A breech being a metaphor for the rest of the person's life is funny. Not the way I said, but the way it was introduced.

A family spokesman said,former President George H.W. Bush was admitted to a Houston hospital Tuesday evening after experiencing a shortness of breath. According to spokesman Jim McGrath, Bush, 90, was taken by ambulance to Houston Methodist Hospital as a "precaution." McGrath said in a statement, He "will be held for observation, again as a precaution." Bush spent nearly two months in the same hospital and was discharged in January 2013 after treatment for a bronchitis-related cough and other issues. The White House said President Barack Obama, who is vacationing in Hawaii, has been notified about Bush's hospital admission.

Japan, Wary of North Korea, Works to Secure Infrastructure After Sony Attack
Officials said, Japan, fearing it could be a soft target for possible North Korean cyberattacks in the escalating row over the Sony Pictures hack, has begun working to ensure basic infrastructure is safe and to formulate its diplomatic response. The hacking of the U.S. unit of Tokyo-based Sony Corp has been seen in Japan largely as an American problem, but the officials said the government is now moving actively to confront the issue after President Barack Obama blamed North Korea and vowed to respond "in a place and time and manner that we choose."

As U.S. Troops Return to Iraq, More Private Contractors Follow
A senior U.S. official said, the U.S. government is preparing to boost the number of private contractors in Iraq as part of President Barack Obama's growing effort to beat back Islamic State militants threatening the Baghdad government. The official said, how many contractors will deploy to Iraq - beyond the roughly 1,800 now working there for the U.S. State Department - will depend in part on how widely dispersed U.S. troops advising Iraqi security forces are, and how far they are from U.S. diplomatic facilities.

The French investigators handling the inquiry into the causes of Michael Schumacher's skiing accident believes the investigation is 'progressing well' after examining the film from the helmet camera the German racing legend wore at the time.
Speaking at a press conference in Albertville on Wednesday, Chief Prosecutor Patrick Quincy added that Schumacher tried to reduce his speed ahead of the crash, but that the footage provided little information as to how fast he was actually going.
"[The press conference is] in order for false information not to be distributed," Quincy noted.
"With regard to the inquiry itself, it's progressing well.
"We've had a number of hearings from the emergency services on the spot - people that rented the skiis, witnesses.
"We had some analysis of the skiis and the helmet. We also examined the film that was made on the camera that was fixed on Mr Schumacher's head.
"That particular film was extremely legible and confirms the information we had at hand.
"It's difficult for me to evaluate the speed. The people involved in the inquiry are probably best to tell us how we can calculate the speed.
"Mr Schumacher is a very good skier. He was going on the left-hand side. He was on terrain that was more sloped.
"Because of that slope. He tried to reduce his speed, but there were few curves. We can't estimate his speed at kmph," another investigator says.
"Mr Schumacher was going down the piste until an intersection. He followed the piste to the left side and found himself off piste.
"At one point his skiis hit a rock and he falls forward. He hits his head about three metres below.
"Mr Schumacher is on the ground and he's at nine metres from the edge of the piste."
The investigators added that they only received the camera five days after the accident, because it was held by the Schumacher family at the Grenoable University Hospital where the 45-year-old remains in a medically induced coma.
"The camera had been kept by the family because of we were interested in the medical aspects," the lead investigator continued.
"The camera arrived later on.
"Mrs Schumacher was extremely co-operative."
Quincy also confirmed that the investigation will continue over the next few weeks and that the cause was unlikely to be related to an equipment failure or lack of signage.

Personally I like when you post. I used to be on this board under a different name and yes the board has gone down hill.
Anyway, you were right about me saying that I didn't read your post. The snark was not needed.
I like snark better than bullying if I had my choice.
Consider these two quotes that I pulled from the piece you didn't read: did I write anything untrue or too far fetched to be considered? I don't think so.
"Obviously the Celtic's brass wanted Ray back: and they thought he would make a big difference for the 2012 season, perhaps the last best chance for KG, Paul, and the Celts to have a legit shot, albeit a long shot, at a title in the foreseeable future.
"For some to claim that Ray would not have made a difference to this team is simply ludicrous.It doesn't just border on the absurd, it is absurd."
"I don't even think Paul and KG buy into what Doc and Danny are selling.I don't think Paul and KG even think for one second that Rondo can be the team leader, that it is now Rondo's team.Just look and listen to them, Paul and KG, lip syncing the party line, but their body language and tone tell another story, one that speaks volumes.Why do you think KG wanted Ray back so badly, why do you think he's so put out about not having Ray? "
The guys we have at the two now, they are plan B, correct. The original plan was to have Ray Allen at our services in some role or another, is that not correct?
What's there to argue? It part of history, now. Plan A: Boston wanted Ray, Ray didn't want Boston any more. Correct? Therefore all the guys we're using at the two spot are part of Plan B.
It doesn't hurt to admit that, does it? Is it a stretch to say that Plan B isn't working out so hot? Something wrong with saying that?

A Dr. Dre Sighting
What up fam,
I met Dr. Dre in the studio last night. When I got there Snoop was in the booth laying the finishing touches on another classic from the dynamic duo. He played me some tracks set for the up and coming Detox record and we talked about me jumping on board the project. Of course I talked about him doing shit on my record and he said he'd bless the album. The Game came through ready to spit but Dre just wanted everybody to vibe. It felt like old times when me and Dre would work on shit in Eazy's cold ass garage.
He asked me did I diss him during the Paid Dues Show last Saturday. I did one of my new songs called "Drink The Kool-Aid" which got everybody thinking I'm dissing the whole industry...lol "You internet roaches..." I told Dre that I'd never diss the man that got me started. Here are the lyric to Drink The Kool-Aid for everybody who understand style and grace in hip-hop...check the lyrics
This ain't Sanatra
This ain't the Carter
This is the chaperone nigga who brought'cha
I am the author...this is Holy water
From the Holy Father the Rock of Gibraltar
Step up to the alter step up to the slaughter
Get circumsized son and turned into a daughter
Niggas know they oughta drink the fuckin' kool-aid
Industy laid out authorities are too late
MC's passed the due date niggas they do hate
You are Bobby Boucher I'm the Mane like Gucci
I rock the Louie but not like Kanye
Nigga see me kinda like Harry Belafonte
Step into the room they be like ah Day-O!
Yeah cause they know a nigga ain't play-doe
Shots all fatal is this Laredo
Boarder town knock'em down just like legos
Drink the Kool-Aid!
verse 2
I ain't the Doctor
This ain't the patient
This ain't that nigga always on vacation
This ain't no white boy's rehabilitation
This is crazier then a boat full of Haitians
This is inflation mixed with degradation
This ain't no dead rappers reincarnation
I heard it was a New West Coast I ain't worried
I murder more stars then Conrad Murray
I got more bars then the penitentary
I wrote this shit without a rhyme dictionary
Young bucks try to step up to the harim
Looking for some pussy I'm a old buck I dare'em
Drink the Kool-Aid
No disses. Just style and grace. On another note, I rocked the fuck outta Paid Dues. I had my son Doughboy get down wit me while WC and Crazy Toones rocked France. I think people enjoyed the show. 20 years of West Coast hip-hop presented in 60mins. It was amazing. I can't wait to put the new show together with all my new songs. I also dropped the single "I REP THAT WEST" on'em. They loved the new shit. The single and the video will premiere and be avaliable right here on icecube.com April 26th.
My nigga Sir Jinx laced me wit a dope ass track. I'mma do it wit Jayo Felony and WC. This record is coming together like sweaty ass cheeks...
No Q & A this time ya'll. I'm in a hurry. I'll answer all questions next time.

When You Think You Have Bedbugs, You Need a Strategy
So, you have bedbugs, or you think you have bedbugs. Before you throw out everything you own, you need to come up with a plan to combat them successfully. Bedbugs may have the ability to hide well, but hey, they're bugs; you can outsmart them. Here are a few ideas to help you get the upper hand.

May 7 - Bankers responding to a Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas quarterly agriculture survey continued to emphasize the need for rain as a great majority of the Eleventh District remained in drought conditions. Respondents to the Fed survey expressed concern for the livestock sector as ranchers faced poor pasture conditions and high feed costs. The winter wheat crop benefited from timely precipitation in parts of the district, particularly the High Plains.
Despite that drought, the survey found that agricultural land values in the first quarter were largely unchanged from fourth quarter 2012 levels. "Ranchland and dryland values were slightly below year-ago levels, while irrigated cropland values, which are on an upward trend, were 10 percent above year-ago levels," the report states. "The great majority of survey respondents expect farmland values to hold steady over the next three months.
"The farm income index posted a positive reading, indicating farmers and ranchers incomes were up this quarter compared with a year ago. Ninety percent of bankers reported no change in credit standards, while most of the remainder tightened their standards.
"Demand for loans declined more steeply this quarter, while loan repayment rates continued to rise. Loan renewals and extensions declined again, but the great majority of respondents noted no change. Volumes of loans declined across all types, with feeder cattle loans seeing the steepest drop."

About Tesla
TESLA MOTORS was founded in 2003 by a group of Silicon Valley engineers who set out to prove that electric vehicles could be awesome.
THE TESLA ROADSTER hit the streets in early 2008 as a sports car that can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and travel for 245 miles per charge.
MODEL S arrived in 2012. A premium sedan that goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and travels for 265 miles per charge, Model S has received numerous accolades, including Car of the Year awards and a 5-star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It is the second step in Tesla's "Secret Plan" to accelerate the world's transition to electric mobility.
MODEL X, set to enter volume production in 2015, is a crossover utility vehicle that blends the best of an SUV with the benefits of a minivan. As stylish as it is functional, Model X is a vehicle above category.
SUPERCHARGERS let Model S and Model X owners charge for free at strategic locations, enabling long distance road trips in North America, Europe, and Asia.
will help lessen global dependence on petroleum-based transportation and drive down the cost of electric vehicles. By cooperating with other car manufacturers, we hope to put more electric cars on the road.

The Greater Binghamton area will soon have a new representative in Congress. Tuesday, voters selected Republican Congressman Richard Hanna to represent them in the newly formed 22nd Congressional District. The region was a democratic stronghold. Democrat Maurice Hinchey served the area for 20 years. Our Melissa Kakareka has more on how the newly elected republican is connecting with the Southern Tier.
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- When Congressional lines were redrawn earlier this year, Broome County and its surrounding area became a part of Congressman Richard Hanna's territory. His victory over Dan Lamb means the congressman and Southern Tier residents will be getting to know each other even better.
"We look forward to meeting and knowing all the new people that wonder who they just elected, so we intend to prove you did the right thing," Hanna said.
So how does the Congressman do that and what kind of expectations do Hanna's colleagues have? Local Republican leaders say they are excited to work with the Congressman. And hope to see a lot of their new representative.
"Throughout the campaign, he would come down and we would go with him places, meeting people. I have to say that during his campaign, he's been down here quite a bit and we will be seeing a lot more of him," Broome County Executive Debbie Preston said.
"Even though he has such a big district, if I can get him acclimated here to the issues in Broome and some of Tioga County that I represent, then we can get a lot of done," State Senator Tom Libous said.
Democratic leaders will also make their needs known to the representative as he takes over the region represented by Democrat Maurice Hinchey for nearly two decades.
"We will certainly reach out to Mr. Hanna and hope to have a good working relationship and get our area the best representation," Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan said.
Hanna is hoping to make his next visit to the area towards the end of this week. He also has plans to create a full time, fully staffed office for his Binghamton constituents.
"We will be down there this week, we are going to keep our presence there full time as soon as we can after the first of the year," Hanna said.
As he takes on the needs of voters in both his old district and the Southern Tier.
