Fireside Grill in Kalona, Iowa: What a Terrific Addition to Kalona
While in Kalona, we originally wanted to eat at The Tuscan Moon; however, it was not open. Thus, we decided to eat at The Fireside Grill Steak House and Martini Bar. We were quite fortunate because it turned out to be just wonderful.
The Fireside Grill is open every day from 10:00 am until 9:00 pm. On Thursday nights, the owners and hosts [Riella and Wes Rich] welcome their guests and present by Eddie Piccard's Band. They play from 6:30-9:00 pm. There is no cover charge.
This is like an old fashioned but hip Supper Club. It is quite large and well appointed. I especially liked the mural on the wall.
They offer appetizers, salads, steak pasta, BBQ ribs, salmon, hot and cold sandwiches, wraps and a child's menu. They have a grand dessert menu which includes gelato, tiramisu, cheesecake, chocolate layer cake, homemade pie, sundaes, and floats.
They also have espresso and lattes, soft drinks, and a full-service bar. During weekends, they offer a musician such as a piano player or a saxaphone player.
Favorite Dish: Jill and I were very pleased with our waiter, Effriam. He just happened to be from Chicago originally, and he just happened to be the owner's son! What a smile and what a pleasant personality. He made our eating experience even that much better.
Jill and I shared a Chicken Casadilla [we agreed it was the best we had ever tasted!]
Jill also had a "loaded Potato Soup" in a cup. She loved it, too.
But, the very best part of the meal was, of course, the dessert. Our waiter suggested it to us: Coconut gelato with slivered almonds and chocolate sauce. We were "in heaven"!

Ethel's, and Der Sommerkuche: Two Recommendations for Good Food, Kalona
When we were at the Chamber of Commerse in Kalona, we asked about places to eat. They gave us many choices. Of course, we could only choose one.
However, I think it appropriate to give these two highly recommended places for others to peruse:
1. Ethel's Gourmet Kitchen Bed & Breakfast The hostess is Ethel Bontrager.
1070 Highway 1, Kalona, Iowa 52247-9271; (319) 656-2481; www.ibbg.com/ethelsbandb.htm;E-mail:email@example.com
This Restaurant and bed and breakfast advertises "gourmet food and old fashioned hospitality in a country home".
The Breakfast Menu includes:
(all you can eat)
Main Entrees could be Stuffed Quiche, Gourmet pancakes or waffles, Ham & Eggs Brunch Braid, Cheddar Chive Breakfast Casserole, Brunch Enchiladas, Ham, Bacon, or Sausage.
Rolls and Breads could include Cinnamon Rolls, Danish Delight, Kaiser House Favorite Coffee [Cheese] Cake, House Special Muffins, Prize Strusel-Filled Coffee Cake...baked fresh each morning and served warm.
Fruits include grapes, blueberries, pineapple, orange slices, jices, and other seasonal fruits.
Coffee is Starbucks and many other gourmet varieties that are freshly ground and brewed.
Favorite Dish: 2.Der Sommerkuche Restaurant, Buffet and Gifts. Proprietors are Lowell & Dorothy Miller. 110 1st Street [Hwy. 1]; 319-656-2517; www.dersommerkuche.com; Monday-Thursday 6:30 am-2:00 pm; Friday & Saturday 6:30 am-8:00 pm.
The name of this family restaurant is German for "the summerkitchen". The goal at Der Sommerjuche is to provide memories of an old fashion home cooked meal that features items such as real mashed potatoes, bread pudding, homemade breads, Grandma's stuffing and noodles, homemade pies, and sweet delights baked right in their kitchen. If you long for the taste of authentic Amish/Mennonite cooking and baking, you will find it at Der Sommerkuche.
There's a seafood buffet on Friday evenings. I noticed that they have catfish, a local favorite and a favorite of Jill and Dee!
The buffet features over 50 items such as Rotisserie chicken, homemade soups, salads, desserts and an ice cream freezer. They also have a full menu which does include all-day breakfast.

Tuscan Moon: Italy in Kalona
Tuscan Moon Grill on Fifth in Kolna, Iowa, is located where the historic Kalona Hotel once resided. It has the original wood floors, exposed brick, an extensive wine cellar, antique booths, and a massive outdoor eating area. They also have entertainment that is scheduled and listed on their website. For this small town in Iowa, it seems unusual.
Their motto seems to be: "You'll think that you are in Italy"! They do have Mediterranean-inspired food and decor, but it's difficult to image Italy right here in this mid-American town. Warren and Paula Miller are co-owners and have recently added a room that seats 30, and it is called Top of the Moon. [That brings the seating capacity to 90 with the downstairs and the patio.] This new room will no doubt be used for business meetings, rehearsal diners for weddings or for graduation parties and the like.
We visited on a Tuesday, May 22, 2007 with the intend on eating our lunch here. However, we discovered that it was closed on Tuesdays [even though the advertisements indicated otherwise.].
It advertises that Dinners are available Wednesdays, Thursdays [5 p.m.- 9 p.m.] and Fridays and Saturdays [5 p.m.-10 p.m.]
Lunches were to be served on Tuesdays through Saturdays [11 a.m.-2 p.m.]
Favorite Dish: For dinner, Tuscan Moon Grill on Fifth features Salads, Appetizers, Pasta, Steaks [Beef Tenderloin, Porterhouse Steaks, and Ribeye], and Seafood. They are famous for their Desserts, especially their Cheesecakes. They offer Specials daily.
For lunch, they offer Appetizers, Salads, Wraps, Pasta, an 8-oz. Black Angus Burger along with many other specials.
I wish that we could have experienced this delightful restaurant; however, we were satisfied with our alternative, The Fireside .

Yotty's: Very nice ice-cream...
Yotty's ice-cream is next door to Yotty's Hardware, on what I considered to be Kalona's 'main street'.
The ice-cream is really rather good, soft and swirly and in a variety of flavours. I believe it is 'home-made' but i think (*think*) this simply means they use their own machine to swirl up the mix rather than buying ready-made ice-cream. My apologies if this is incorrect.
They also sell coffees, sundaes and 'fountain soda' (I don't know what this is but no doubt US readers will).
It's a tiny place with just a couple of tables inside and a bench outside. Nothing special at all, but very pleasant...and the ice-cream is good.

Family style Service
There are serveral good restaurants in Kolona. The main difference between eateries here and other places is that the food is served "family style". The only other place I have seen this is in the Amana Colonies. That means you order you meat or main course and then they bring the side dishes. These are usually a salad, mashed potatoes and gravy or fried potatoes, bread and usually saurkraut in serving bowls. These are to be passed around the table. and they will refill them as needed. If you leave hungry it is your own fault.

I'm stuck... any advice?
I draw allot, mainly sketch outside lately. But I really do it every-day and fill up sketchbooks. every once in a while I do a more detailed study of something - still life, model, landscape etc.
But it seems I'm not getting any-where...
any-advice on what I'm doing wrong?...

I don't know how long you've been drawing. But I see nothing wrong with your sketches. I'd say keep it up and you'll get better

Read everything you can. Once you understand it, apply it. Rinse and repeat.
Do copies of other artists work. Try to comprehend what you are drawing in a 3D sense. I think it would be helpful if you tried to describe the edges of forms with one continuous line, instead of chicken scratching. Take your time, speed comes after quality.
October 19th, 2010 #4
In comparison to what? Your art is skilled and has a solid style. Are you upset that it doesn't look more real, more like life? If that's the case study European Renaissance painting (I've always been fond of Titian). Those artists were very good at creating the illusion of reality.
Also don't be afraid to copy. tracing and using graphs to insure the correct positioning of forms is very helpful. Take your favorite pieces of art and find out how they were made, try to make them yourself.
October 19th, 2010 #5
While it's good to study from the masters don't use it as your only means to getting better. Tracing pretty much won't teach you anything. Whatever style you want to paint in you need to study from life. But you seem to allready be doing this so I don't think I need to tell you that. Lurk around on the forums a bit. There's a lot of information on what you need to study. And also keep posting in your sketchbook. You won't become a master over night. It takes years to get good and a life time to be a master. Keep up the steady practice and I'm sure you'll get where you want to be.
Read the books by Loomis and study anatomy. Study color theory and composition. Make use of whatever information you can find on pretty much anything.

The better question is "what is your goal?" Because if you don't know, I don't know and therefore have no idea if you're "going somewhere"

Thanks everyone for the replies !!
very good advises !!
For the question of what is my goal it's an interesting one, I never thought about it in such a direct way...
I guess my goal is to be able to produce pleasing images of my ideas. meaning -
the forms to have solidity, the lighting to be correct and strong, the perspective to give a sense of correct space... etc. and to do all that more or less from the imagination and not having to use too much reference.
I guess what bothers me is that my drawings don't have that "professional" feel to them. and I guess I don't know what I'm missing.
most of the time I would look at a drawing, won't be pleased but won't know how make it better...

I'm going to blow your mind and suggest that you stop sketching, at least sketching the way you have been doing it. I think your problem is that you're sketching a lot but you're not getting anything out of it. It's quantity over quality. Filling sketchbooks means nothing if you aren't learning. Your hand-eye coordination may get better but you're also getting better at making the same mistakes.
When you sketch, do it with a purpose. Try to learn one new thing every time. If you're unfamiliar with something, give it a go. Don't worry so much about being able to post a lot of drawings per week. The most important thing is to learn. Those who are good at drawing may sketch a lot, but that's not the key to success.

Just identify what, exactly, you do not like in your current work and focus on it as you draw.
Doodling and sketching is fun, but if you want to go anywhere, you ought to challenge yourself. Treat every drawing as an exercise, as an excuse to practice some point, as a problem to be solved in the best possible way.
Just going with the flow is good for maintaining your skill; if you want to progress, pick things to draw that you can barely handle. After you wrestle with them and subdue them, you'll be able to handle them better. Rinse and repeat.

I think that's exactly the problem !
I just don't KNOW what I don't like about my drawings. to me it feels like everything-
form, lighting, perspective, being able to draw from the mind...
so I thought I'll just keep on drawing and it will get better, but it don't. well I don't see any evident progress any-way...
So I realized I don't know what is holding me back.
well I got quite a few good advise here and at my sketchbook, so I'll follow and see how it goes
I'll be very happy to get crits on my sketchbook as I go !

Hey, I wish I'd fill book pages every day!
Still, always good to ask yourself WHY do I paint this, or draw this.
What is it that makes it necessary to do this. What's the urge.

YIELD: Makes about 10 cups
In a large bowl stir together zucchini, onions, bell pepper, and salt until combined well. Chill vegetables, covered, at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.
In a large colander drain vegetables and rinse a few times under cold water, draining well.
In a stainless-steel or enameled kettle combine vegetables and remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer relish, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes and with a sterilized spoon divide among 10 sterilized 8-ounce Mason-type jars (procedure follows). Pour remaining liquid over relish and cool completely. Wipe rims with a dampened cloth and seal jars with lids. Relish keeps, covered and chilled, 2 months.
To sterilize jars and glasses for pickling and preserving:
Wash the jars in hot suds and rinse them in scalding water. Put the jars in a kettle and cover them with hot water. Bring the water to a boil, covered, and boil the jars for 15 minutes from the time that steam emerges from the kettle. Turn off the heat and let the jars stand in the hot water. Just before they are to be filled invert the jars onto a kitchen towel to dry. (The jars should be filled while they are still hot.) Sterilize the jar lids for 5 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

As a former Aviva employee who left to take up a new job last year and has seen their dismissal and resignation procedures in action (I suppose it's conceivable they might have changed since I left in September, but I seriously doubt it), I call shenanigans on this.
The company as a whole is so ridiculously risk-averse and keen on trying to present itself well that there is no way on Earth anyone would have been fired by email like that. Every time someone was lef go they were given the news in person by a line manager.
From reading the article, it sounds like the email that went out was actually a standard "Don't forget to return any company property" thing that goes out to someone who already knows that they are leaving. I have a very similar email from when I left.

Comment: Re:Wrong (Score 1) 333 333
I used to work there until September last year, and unless something has changed radically in the meantime, they don't actually fire people using a form letter. When I left they sent me a form email confirming my resignation and linking to an intranet checklist, and it sounds like this was the kind of thing that went out. Believe me, their HR department is far too risk-averse to risk looking bad by firing people by email. Everyone I knew who was let go while working there was given the news by a line manager.
Agreed on the high turnover rate though, which I can confirm they have, although that's mainly because most of the jobs there are shit. The place was also full of silly management philosophies and bureaucratic nonsense, and it seemed to favour toadying and sycophancy as ways to get ahead. Also, I had to deal with financial advisers, many of whom are very nasty pieces of work.
Comment: Re:Giant Mistake? (Score 1) 333 333
Actually, as I understand it, this was just a standard "Don't forget to hand in any company property before you leave" email. I actually worked for Aviva for over a decade (including in their previous incarnation as Norwich Union) until I left to take up a different job last year, and when I left I got exactly the same kind of boilerplate email to confirm my resignation.
From my experience it's not really any worse than any other big company like that, it's just hugely bureaucratic and tiresome to actually ever get anything done there, and they are one of those companies that every few years hire in a new set of consultants who introduce a new cargo cult management philosophy that everyone has shoved down their throats for a couple of years.

Michael Cera and John Hawkes Cast in FX Pilot HOW AND WHY
FX Networks has cast Michael Cera and Academy Award(R) nominated John Hawkes in How And Why, a half-hour comedy pilot from Academy Award-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman. Produced by FX Productions, How And Why will begin production this spring in North Carolina.
Kaufman, who brought us such brilliantly original films as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, returns to half-hour television with How and Why, the story of a man who can explain how and why a nuclear reactor works, but is clueless about life. Kaufman will write and direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. Anthony Bregman (Synecdoche, New York, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) will also be executive producer.
Cera was most recently seen in Netflix's revival of Arrested Development. Feature film credits include This is the End, Scott Pilgram vs. The World and Juno. Cera is repped by ICM, Thruline and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Adler & Feldman. Hawkes was nominated for an Academy Award for Winter's Bone, and also starred in HBO's Deadwood. Other credits include Lincoln, The Sessions and American Gangster. He's repped by Innovative Artists, Thruline and Morris Yorn Barnes Levine Krintzman Rubenstein Kohner & Gellman.

During assembly, the electrical contacts of the stop lamp switch may have been contaminated with silicone grease, causing increased electrical resistance in the switch. This could result in: Illumination of warning lamps; a no start condition; the shift lever may not shift from the Park position; and/or inoperative brake lights. Inoperative brake lights would fail to warn other drivers the vehicle is slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the brake light switch to correct this concern.
These vehicle were sold without the required load carrying captivity modification label. Dealers will mail the corrected label to vehicle owners. Owners have the option of requesting that the dealer install the label. This recall is expected to begin on May 27, 2010.

Richard rock solid in debut for Pads
He pitches into sixth, teammates do the rest
After learning of the trade yesterday, Richard drove to his home in Lafayette, Ind., last night and then traveled to Indianapolis yesterday morning to catch a flight to San Diego.
Over his past three starts, including two with the White Sox, Richard has allowed three runs over 21 2/3 innings.
Like Latos three nights earlier in Cincinnati, Richard retired the first 10 hitters he faced and didn't give up a hit until former Padre Mike Cameron lined a double over Gwynn's head in the fifth.
"He did a fantastic job," Gwynn said of Richard. "That's one of the top three offenses in baseball and he held them to two hits."
As for the recent change of fortunes, Gwynn thinks the passing of the trade deadline has something to do with it.
"There's a sense of stability now," he said. "Everybody's having fun. Not too much pressure, just trying to do our job."

- Monopoly
- When a business controls so much of the production or sale of a product or service to control the market, including prices and distribution. Business practices and/or acquisitions that tend to create a monopoly may violate various federal statutes that regulate or prohibit business trusts and monopolies or prohibit restraint of trade, such as the Clayton Act. Public utilities such as electric, gas, and water companies may hold a monopoly in a particular geographic area since it is the only practical way to provide the public service; they are regulated by state public utility commissions.

Merge Multiple Trip Itineraries Into One
11 Comments
November 13, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I tried to merge some trips that were contiguous in dates but when I did it, one dissapeared. I cannot manage to do this right, I really appriciate if you can show me how to.
November 15, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I am having the same issue. I think it would be great if it worked.
November 16, 2009 at 4:38 am
Any chance on the iphone app you can add the email address email@example.com to the splash screen. I keep forgetting the email address to forward my info and I keep expecting to find it in my iphone TripIt application.
November 25, 2009 at 9:15 pm
I also lost information when trying to merge trips
November 29, 2009 at 3:45 pm
I like the feature, it "worked" but funny enough a trip where I visited and worked in 3 cities only marks one in the map.
That could be a great fix in the future. If you are not doing just a connection (hotel + a meeting ) etc it should count as a visited city.
While the organization potential is amazing the social aspect of tripit is also really powerful!
December 8, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Does this work at all. All my confirmation emails were not accepted
Hate to fill all of the info only to get a rejection email
August 3, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Agree with Marcelo, plans within a trip which concern different cities should count and be seen on the map.
November 3, 2010 at 8:26 am
Another vote for showing multiple cities within a single itinerary separately on the map.
June 21, 2011 at 8:13 am
I had two flights the same day. first one coming home from vacation and then in the evening flying out for business.
tripit merged the two automatically and i don't like it.
how can i unmerge?
August 1, 2013 at 7:59 am
This doesn't seem to work in the case where one of the trips to be merged is a shared trip (eg. was created by a co-traveller and shared). I have a situation where my wife booked the flights and I booked the accommodation. We both shared our part of the booking with the other on TripIt, but the merge option isn't available on the shared trip.
September 10, 2014 at 7:46 pm
I use Tripit to file / store all my travel which I sometimes need for future reference. I noticed 2 of my past trips were in the same itinerary and so wanted to merge the trips together. After I clicked the Options button (next to the first trip) and then selected Merge, I got a list of trips I could merge with. However, only the 3 most recent past trips display. I want to merge 2 earlier trips. Does the merge feature for past trips only work for the 3 most recent past trips? If not, can you please tell me how to do it? Thanks!

exist. There are several versions of SPF, and there is Sender ID, for example.
Those could be reasons why the technology hasn't proved too popular with businesses. Gartner analyst Lydia Leong doesn't expect companies to start picking it up anytime soon. "Adoption will be slow, and many enterprises will not publish records until 2007," she said.
About 1 million domains currently publish SPF records, Microsoft said. That's much fewer than the 71.4 million domains that had been registered worldwide by the end of last year.
There is evidence to suggest that quite a few of the technology's adopters are senders of junk e-mail. Out of a sample of more than 17.7 million e-mail messages taken in late June, a little more than 9 percent were from domains that published an SPF or Sender ID record, according to spam-filtering company MX Logic. About 84 percent of those authenticated messages were spam, it found.
"The majority of the adoption has been by rogue senders trying to get some legitimacy for their messages," said Scott Chasin, the chief technology officer at Denver-based MX Logic.
For spammers, publishing a valid record means they will pass any Sender ID authentication part of a general spam check. Earlier this year, Microsoft said its Web-based e-mail service Hotmail would start flagging messages without valid authentication. Later this year, the company plans to introduce "tougher filtering on nonauthenticated e-mail," Craig Spiezle, director of Microsoft's technology care and safety group, said in June.
"The spammers have more of a motivation to go and do it than most other people," said Forrester analyst Paul Stamp.
Critical mass
For Sender ID to get picked up more widely, the technology needs to become easier to adopt and provide a clear benefit to users, analysts and experts said. "If we don't reach critical mass on the authentication of legitimate senders, there are going to be dire consequences," said Dave Lewis, vice president of marketing at Redwood Shores, Calif.-based StrongMail.
Many of the legitimate e-mail senders who have attempted to publish information on their e-mail servers have made errors, said Dean Drako, the CEO of Barracuda Networks, a Mountain View, Calif.-based maker of antispam appliances.
"We're big proponents of SPF, and all our boxes support it," Drako said. "But we have to recommend to our customers that they do not do any filtering on it, because there are too many false positives. A significant number of people who have published their SPF record have done so incorrectly."
Working with e-mail authentication should be made easier for companies, agreed Lewis of StrongMail. For example, makers of e-mail server software could include simple wizards that collect the needed information, he suggested. "Also, notice back should be provided if there is improper authentication," he said.
Sender ID may not be the perfect solution, Lewis said. "But if we hold out for the silver bullet, we will see a continued erosion in consumer trust in e-mail."
The problem goes beyond junk mail that advertises herbal stimulants or get-rich-quick schemes. Phishing is costing victims real money. An estimated 2.42 million U.S. adults lost money in phishing attacks in the 12-month period that ended in May, according to Gartner. Total losses amounted to nearly $929 million, the research firm said. That in turn hurts customers' relationships with online businesses.
"Where sender authentication is really valuable to enterprises, right now, is in the area of phishing," Gartner's Leong said.
That is why major e-commerce players such as eBay and banks such as Bank of America have been among the first to adopt it, Leong said. Those businesses are among the 36 companies, organizations and individuals who, along with Microsoft and SPF developer Wong, sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission to promote industry collaboration on e-mail authentication.
Standard process
The move was only the latest for Microsoft, which has been pushing for widespread e-mail authentication since Gates unveiled the predecessor to the current Sender ID specification in February 2004. But the effort has had its critics. Some have accused the Redmond, Wash., software giant of trying to strong-arm the industry into accepting Sender ID, especially given its warning that Hotmail may treat unauthenticated messages as spam.
Critics have pointed out that Sender ID is not an accepted standard, and some say it has many shortcomings. Last year, the Internet Engineering Task Force, a standards-setting body, let a Sender ID working group expire. The Internet Engineering Steering Group, a division of the IETF, said in June that it would solicit comments on Sender ID and on SPF as two separate proposals.
There are technologies that offer an alternative to Sender ID and SPF, such as Yahoo and Cisco Systems' DomainKeys Identified Mail, which is also making its way through the standards process. DKIM attaches a digital signature to outgoing e-mail so that recipients can verify that the message comes from its claimed source.
The Sender ID and DKIM camps, however, say the technologies are complimentary, and many of the companies that back Sender ID also support DKIM.
That flexibility could prove a benefit in the fight against spam and phishing if Sender ID ends up having to co-exist with other technologies. It's also a sign that the software industry is serious in its desire to crush spam and keep e-mail functioning. At the moment, though, a lack of enthusiasm and know-how is holding up mass adoption. But for Barracuda Networks' Drako, it's actually the lack of immediate payback that's keeping a majority of the legitimate e-mail senders from using the e-mail authentication technology.
"It won't solve a problem until everybody adopts it," Drako said, echoing other experts. "If we can get to a place where a significant portion of e-mail has valid SPF records, then we can start to do things to fight spam more effectively."

- It's useless then
- Wait a moment... Spammers are adopting Sender ID? But isn't it supposed to authenticate that messages claim to come from one domain actually come from there? And yet, more spammers have adopted it than legitimate users? What good can come from an anti-spam technology that spammers use to get their junk messages out?
I was initially against Sender ID because it is a propietary standard, but now that I read this, I see that it is absolutely useless.

- Well...
- assuming it actually worked then I thinks it's real use would have been to stop phishing scams. Or e-mails with faked headers.
But your right, it's useless. What they really need to do is block domain names of spammers and use a technology like Sender ID to thwart phishers. Either way won't eliminate spam or people trying to steal information, but maybe it might curve it a bit.
Personally, I really like the way places like Spamhaus blocks spammers. They just block the entire IP address. It doesn't stop spammers because they just move to a new IP address, but it sure puts a hurting on anybody who shares that IP address. Of course try to explain that to the righteous spam blockers like Spamhaus who haven't done crap to stop spam.

- I don't see how most of this article is relevant to anything except M$ propaganda.
Publishing an SPF record requires changes in infrastructure? or is difficult? It's just a one line TXT record, and it is easy to publish a record allowin sending from anywhere if an organization cannot tell the IP addresses (or domain names pointing to those addresses) that their users use to send email. The real change in ifrastructure that is needed to make SPF/SenderID help in preventing spam or phishing is in the receiving side. The small effort needed is incorporating it in receiving servers. The big effort needed is in rewriting all email client software to to use it. What SPF or SenderID authenticate has nothing to do with what an email client displays as the sender. There's no problem to have both SenderID and SPF authenticated and still have an email client like outlook display another address as the sender. SO it does NOTHING to prevent Phishing unless the email client software is changed to show a lot more header information. Then if it would do it, most users wouldn't know how to interpret the info anyway.
The real reason that SPF/SenderID are not widely adopted is that they do absolutely nothing of what they promise to do. The reason that a few domains did publish an SPF record is that it is extremely easy to do so if one has a few minutes to spare, and has no negative consequences.

- Yes, it's becoming more of a problem
- At the company at which I work, we employ a highly regarded spam filtering software. Up until recently, I had the ineviable task of checking mail that was quarantined for false positives. Over a period of ~ 1 year, the number of false positives remained fairly consistent (less than 1%) while the number of incoming messages correctly flagged as spam increased roughly 250%. I can't say what the increase was based on our total mail volume, but we have not grown by 250% nor have we become 250% more reliant upon e-mail.
Having good spam filtering software and employing white & black lists, Bayesian analysis, etc., is only a small part of effectively fighting spam. The real issue is the end user. Spammers (not virii/worm writers, mind you) would go away if the enterprise were not profitable. Unfortunately, like televsion & newspaper, many people believe what the see/read and follow links when they should delete the message.
Not until end users are educated will spam go away. I don't think that will ever happen.
Should the situation be called a 'crisis'? Depends on whether you're an end user who never sees the results of clicking where you shouldn't, or part of an IT staff that has to clean up the mess.

Why not redesign the whole transfer system?! Yeah, I know, it will cost millions, but you could support the old SMTP system for a while until people reached their software cycle's on their servers.
I don't know all the details, but why not try?!! We have some amazing engineers in this world that have developed some amazing systems, why not a relatively fool proof email system? Just think of the millions of dollars we would save in bandwidth, time, and money wasted on SPAM and Phishing schemes!

- Make the Spammers work to find you
- Like may people, I have many e-mail accounts (work, home ISP, Yahoo, etc). My new work and Yahoo accounts started getting spam within a week of starting the account.
My home account does not get spammed. Spam comes from purloined address list acquired from target machines that were too lazy to set-up firewalls, virus detection, etc. In other words, people you know, you trusted, and have no idea what the source was.
Like most ISP's, my home account allows me to setup secondary e-mail accounts. These secondary accounts are the only names I use. Never give out your primary address. On the rare occasion I get a spam, I can tell by the account name what the likely source of the leaked name came from. Getting that source to fix thier system is usually effective. If it is not, I tell everyone else that I use that user account was addressed to that I am changing my e-mail name, and delete the old name.
If anyone is still trying to reach me at the old address, and they get a mail delivery failure, they know there are other ways to reach me.

- What about biometrics??
- I have an intolerable problem with spammers hacking my Hotmail address on a daily basis. I get dozens of notices of non-deliverable messages that list my Hotmail address. I change my Hotmail address every other day or so, but within hours it's hacked again. I use sixteen symbols, alpha and numberic, and symbol characters in both upper and lower case, and it does nothing to stop the algorithms the hackers use.
I have sent numerous copies of these returns to Microsoft customer support. They responded with a generic message that meant absolutely nothing. Its obvious the problem is so rampant, Microsoft is powerless or worse, unwilling to do anything about it.
The answer might be a biometric reader of fingerprints that could hook up through a USB 2.0 port. I would like to see Bill Gates and company pioneer this for all Windows users. This could be the de facto standard for all passwords. Short of someone lifting my fingerprints off a glass or cutting off my fingers, there is no way this info could be hacked.
A small device with a laser scanner would be simple and cheap to manufacture. I would certainly pay for one if it was under a hundred bucks to stop this rampant hacking of my passwords. By the way, I have a good firewall with anti-spyware protection and an up-to-date virus program. I've also had to cancel my Pay Pal and Classmates accounts, and change my credit card and bank account numbers because of repeated attempts to gain control of my identity.
Something has to be done and quickly or I will give up Hotmail and Windows and migrate to Linux. I know that with some care Linux can be made secure at setup even if it is a pain in the ass to pass all the internal firewalls. A simple fingerprint scanner would be much better. I hope there are Microsoft people reviewing these responses.

Namely, integrate BIOMETRIC-devices into all computers, as part of "Trusted Computing", so that Microsoft (and everybody else) can finally identify, track, (and coincidentally bill, or control) virtually every individual computer-user.

Id say that this was just another poor attempt at market-manipulation by Microsoft, designed to convince people that consumers really want another one of Microsofts pet control-schemes, shoved down the industrys-throat. But, ...after all the previous failed-attempts by Microsoft at such devious propaganda-campaigns, at this point, Microsoft really should be more subtle than this.
But, on the other-hand, notice the not too subtle JAB at Linux, which just had to be included...

- SPF is broken (until the forwarding problem is solved)
- Unfortunately, SPF is broken because of the routine nature of
aliasing (forwarding) mail received in one to another. The way
this is commonly done (not counting a manual forward in a mail
client), the sending address ("Envelope From address" or the
parameter to the SMTP "MAIL FROM:" command is unchanged.
Now the message arrives at the server handling the account to
which the mail was forwarded from the "wrong" server according
to SPF.
There is a (at least one) solution. Unfortunately, it would need
to be adopted by EVERY server which forwards mail in the above
way to fully unbreak SPF. Basically, the Envelope from address is
rewritten to be "an address" at the forwarding domain. Now that
domain's SPF matches the message. The "an address" encodes
the original Envelope from address (so that bounces can be sent
on their way). Typically it also encodes a token which the
forwarding server can look at and say "yes, I did this...the
bounce isn't a forgery intended to reach a non-sender of the
original message.
This idea (SRS) is not problem free...suppose there are several
forwarding steps...the Envelope from address grows by many
bytes at each step.
And as I say, unlike SPF (and Sender ID) which require adoption
by a "critical mass" to begin being useful, SRS needs to be
adopted by all forwarders to unbreak SPF. But mail changes are
adopted VERY slowly (the way to encrypt mail passing between
servers changed in the not-very-late 1990s...the proponent of

- No need to "fix forwarders"
- There is absolutely no need to "fix forwarders". Whoever is automatically forwarding from one server to another is expecting the forwarded email at the receiving server and should set that server (if it does SPf testing) to not use SPF to reject mail coming from one particular server to one particular address.
If the individual is using a service that doesn't allow the user to control email filtering in a way that allows it, well... the user should find another email provider. There's no need to create a complicated forwarding scheme just to accomodate email providers that wish to restrict their customers. The default shoud be that the customar can control the incoming email, and not that the service censors the customers email in any way they see fit.
If there's anything that needs to be applied to forwarders, it is to set headers indicating SPF test result when recived by the forwarder so users can use it forfiltering at the final destination. And this better be user customizable so spammers can't forge it easily.
What's really broken with SPF/SenderID is that it is trivial to bypass their testing by using an envelope-from/Sender header different from the From header that is displayed to the user.

- Another Factor: In-house Apps
- Many legitimate companies used SMTP for e-mail notifications and alerts sent to an audience internal or external to them. Its ease and popularity may be so much that these companies may be using it in various applications perhaps even critical to their operations. SPF kills that simplicity which requires the company to adjust all applications that use SMTP and channel all e-mails through the SPF-configured mail servers. I still see a lot of work after applying SPF...

- Microsoft is misguided at the least and very greedy at the most. Why is it waiting for the acceptance of a program that will identify spammers? This should be automatic. The hot mail and other Microsoft emails should identify the email senders and the IP addresses of the computers from which the emails are being sent. That will put a little scare into the minds of the spammers.
It is a shame that spamming is considered a dirty word. People can't set up their own web sites with a message. If the site is considered to be a spam it is doomed by the search engine. This is destructive. For example if a pesron has a better idea for solving the problem of spam he can't solicit donations to finance the cost of developing the most definitive anti-spam program. This is destructive. That is why the most productive anti-spam pprograms have not been developed. Not every one has the capital or the influence need to approach the venture capitalists. Hence people have to change their attitude as to spamming that vshould apply only to the use of automatic machines to send millions of e-mails automatically to persons whose e-mail addresses are taken from web sites or even sending of individual e-mails to unknown persons. Talking about a project and soliciting the donation to fund the cost of its development should not be considered a spam.
Only on August 17, 2005 a worm infected the computers operated by windows 2000 and shut them down forcing IBM to issue an update which followed the issuance of three other updates. Four updates, one after the other.

The development of a new infrastructure, that can stop this, depends upon the willingness of giant corporations to fund the cost of development of the new infrastructure.

Lenovo profit falls five percent after Motorola acquisition
Lenovo Group said Tuesday its quarterly profit declined 5 percent, reflecting the computer maker's acquisition of the unprofitable Motorola mobile phone business.
Lenovo Group said Tuesday its quarterly profit declined 5 percent, reflecting the computer maker's acquisition of the unprofitable Motorola mobile phone business.
Motorola unveiled three smartphone models on Monday for its return to China following a two-year absence from the most populous mobile phone market.
Shares in Lenovo dropped by five percent Thursday after the Chinese technology giant posted weaker than expected revenue figures, despite a 19 percent jump in quarterly net profit.
Lenovo Group announced the completion of its acquisition of Motorola Mobility from Google Inc. on Thursday in a move aimed at making the Chinese computer maker a global smartphone brand.
Lenovo Group has received U.S. and European approval to complete its acquisition of IBM Corp.'s low-end server business and plans to use it to grow faster outside its personal computer business, Lenovo's ...
Lenovo Group, the world's biggest personal computer maker, said Thursday its latest quarterly profit rose 23 percent on strong growth in sales of smartphones and other mobile devices.
Nearly 300 million smartphones were shipped in the second quarter of this year, up almost 25 percent from the same period last year, according to market research firm International Data Corp.
Another wave of laptop computers running on Google's Chrome operating system will be hitting stores this summer in the latest challenge to Microsoft's dominant Windows franchise.
An expensive mistake by Google could turn into a golden opportunity for China's Lenovo Group as it expands beyond its success in the personal computer industry.
Google is selling Motorola's smartphone business to Lenovo for $2.9 billion, a price that makes Google's biggest acquisition look like its most expensive mistake.
China's Lenovo Group is buying IBM's low-end server business for $2.3 billion, expanding a product line-up dominated by PCs, tablets and smartphones.
Lenovo Group, the biggest personal computer maker, said Thursday its latest quarterly profit rose 36 percent as sales of smartphones and tablet computers more than doubled.
Todd Bradley, the head of Hewlett-Packard Co.'s printing and personal computer business, has been appointed to a new position in charge of the company's strategy with a focus on China, the company said Tuesday.
Computer maker Lenovo Group said Thursday its latest quarterly profit rose 90 percent as sales of smartphones and mobile computing technology expanded.
Japan's NEC cast off two straight years of losses Friday, reporting it had returned to the black after a painful restructuring including layoffs and a business overhaul.

Other apps I use daily where I perfer the iOS version, Evernote, Spotify and Instapaper. I also love Downcast to sync podcasts across multiple devices (never found a decent podcast app for Android) also had problems finding a good todo app with decent syncing.
All this will change in time, but you have to ask, do I want a good tablet now or a year down the track, when you'll probably want to upgrade again anyway. :
I can understand wanting to avoid the 64Gb prices, plus moving large files from one device to another isn't easy on iOS. We have smaller files and photos so Dropbox suits us.
Suffice to say I couldn't have asked for a better bit of feedback. If springing a few more $$ for the extra Gbs can save me daily app frustration then so be it, time to start shopping for company discounts on ipads.
Thank you kind sir.

Human Rights Advocate Calls for Accountability
Byline: Rebecca Nolan The Register-Guard
Former president of Ireland and United Nations high commissioner for human rights Mary Robinson told an audience gathered at the University of Oregon that the countries of the world must use the standards in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights to ensure that the trend toward globalization is ethical and moral.
Robinson, current director of the Ethical Globalization Initiative and president of Oxfam International, a multi-national group working to solve poverty and other issues, came to Eugene on Wednesday at the request of UO law professor Svitlana Kravchenko to discuss the relationship between globalization and human rights.
Globalization refers most simply to the constant merging of economies and societies, Robinson said.
The phenomenon has led to growing access to cheaper goods and resources, revolutionized communications, and the global spread of ideas and technology - but the benefits have been unevenly distributed, she said.
People in developing countries have been left behind and even harmed by globalization, with 54 countries poorer now than in 1990, she said.
"Worldwide, the number of people living in a chronic state of poverty and daily insecurity hasn't changed much since 1990," she said.
She said in two hours - as long as her talk - that 1,000 children would die unnecessarily of poverty and hunger.
"A world connected by technology, information, exports and commerce must also be connected by a core set of values," she said. Those values exist, but it is up to the people to force governments to act on them.
Many counties ratify treaties and make other commitments regarding human rights, but they're "paper commitments" and not implemented, she said. …

Extremely Scarce 1859-O Double Eagle AU551859-O $20 AU55 PCGS. Bright orange-gold surfaces retain much of their semi-reflective luster and show fewer than the expected number of abrasions in the fields. Contact marks on Liberty's eye and below across the nose, although ill-placed, are not large enough to be severe. Familiar die clashing is seen near the hair curls on the portrait, with both rays and the faint outline of a star being visible. These are seen in varying degrees on virtually every 1859-O Twenty and, in fact, are a reliable method of authentication. All details are quite bold, including the mintmark, which can sometimes be indistinct on the issue.
The 1859-O, one of just 9,100 pieces struck, is a standout rarity among O-mint double eagles and ranks behind only the near-legendary 1854-O and 1856-O issues, being about on par with the similar mintage 1855-O. A similarly graded example sold by Heritage in last year's ANA Sale boldly approached the $50,000 barrier ($48,875 to be exact) and an AU58 in last year's FUN Sale fetched $92,000, so we expect an equally impressive figure for this desirable representative.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A newly formed teachers' alliance group in Gwinnett County is calling for an end to micromanagement within the school system, the group's executive director says.The Teachers' Alliance of Gwinnett, a grass-roots organization, launched Jan. 1. The group would like to work with school officials to improve working conditions within Gwinnett County Public Schools, but the organization is not considered a union, said Rand L. Bissell, the alliance's director and a social studies teacher at Peachtree Ridge High School. School officials, however, do not recognize the new group, because established groups are already representing teachers. Furthermore, school officials say they will refuse to work with the group. "The system values its teachers and already has various processes in place to allow for teachers to provide input and engage in the work of the system; therefore, we don't see the need for this group," Sloan Roach, the school system's spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. School board member Carol Boyce said teachers are already welcome to contact anyone in the school system or on the school board at any time if they have concerns. "We value our teachers extremely highly," Boyce said. "I have tremendous respect for all teachers. They have a very, very difficult job, and the public does not realize how difficult a teacher's job is. They handle our children just beautifully." Boyce said she did not know why any teachers would feel as if their interests were not represented. Robert McClure, a school board member, said having a formal meeting with the teachers' alliance is "putting the cart ahead of the horse," but he welcomes anyone who has suggestions on how to improve student achievement. McClure said he is always willing to listen to ideas, but he may not always agree with them. "Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't mean they're not listening," McClure said. "That may be part of the problem (that led to the formation of the alliance)." Bissell said he was "not even remotely surprised and not even terribly disappointed" to learn that the school system is ignoring the organization. "We anticipated that county's position would be to ignore us at first," Bissell said. "We're going to move incrementally ... (and) we're going to build a coalition and put more and more pressure on them until they're willing to talk to us." The Society of the White Rose Borrowing the name "White Rose" from a nonviolent resistance group in Germany that ran a leaflet campaign calling for active opposition to the Nazis, the 17-member leadership group of the teachers' alliance calls itself "The Society of the White Rose," Bissell said. As told in the book "Sophie Scholl and the White Rose" by Jud Newborn and Annette Dumbach, the members of the White Rose were captured, tried and executed by the Gestapo. "Of course, we hope we don't end up that way," Bissell said. McClure said that name compares the school system, which is run with the help of community input and board members who are elected by people who came to the polls on election day, to a totalitarian regime, and he disagrees with that characterization. The school system chose not to comment on the characterization. Members of the Society of the White Rose have contributed content to a Web journal, or blog, that accuses the leadership of Gwinnett County Public Schools of wrongdoing. School officials and school board members, however, have said the anonymity of this blog, found online at gcps.blogspot.com, make the accusations meritless. The alliance wants to be involved in the training of assistant principals who are enrolled in the school system's newly launched Quality-Plus Leader Academy, which focuses on teaching the skills and knowledge a new principal would need, Bissell said. The group would also like to see an end to "autonomy" in the school system, and the alliance wants to see "sight-based management" within the local schools, Bissell said. In addition, the alliance wants the school system to stop using a practice known as Total Quality Management, which Bissell said standardizes the way students are taught. Roach, who neither confirmed nor denied the system's use of the principles of Total Quality Management, said the school system focuses on "continuous improvement." "That is something that is expected of us ... and who wouldn't want to improve?" Roach wrote in an e-mail. "We use data and quality tools as part of our improvement efforts. For example, we benchmark against other systems, we use cross-functional action teams to address system issues/concerns, and we provide tools to teachers and leaders so that they can better analyze the student data to better meet students' instructional needs." McClure said he was "puzzled" by many of the statements of the teachers' alliance and their characterizations of the school system. Teachers have the ability to be creative while teaching the curriculum, McClure said. The district's curriculum, called Academic Knowledge and Skills, was developed using input from thousands of educators and community members, he said. While teachers must follow the AKS, the way they do so is up to each individual teacher, he said. "Flexibility is not (just) a nice idea but a critical thing," McClure said. Some of the alliance's beliefs are illustrated in book co-authored a few years ago by Joseph and Jo Blase, a married couple who are both University of Georgia professors of educational leadership and administration. Bissell said he suggests school system officials read the book, titled "Breaking the Silence: Overcoming the Problem of Principals' Mistreatment of Teachers." As an outsider to the school system, book author and professor Joseph Blase said he does not know if a problem exists within the Gwinnett County school system. But if the school system leaders were to ask for help, Blase said he and his wife would be willing to work with the school district to determine if there is a problem and, if one exists, provide the framework for a solution to the problem. "The deal maker or the deal breaker (in the success of the alliance) will be the number of teachers willing to step forward," Blase said. Soliciting members The Teachers' Alliance of Gwinnett is inviting certified active teachers, retired teachers, substitute and student teachers, support staff, and parents and community members to become members. Membership dues are $45 per year, and membership information will be kept confidential, Bissell said. Bissell said the membership drive is going "pretty well." Information packets are being mailed out to 102 potential members, and "dozens" of people have responded, he said. The group wants to have representation at every school within the system, Bissell said. But recognized teachers' groups, such as the Teachers Advisory Council, already have representation within each school, Roach said. Bissell said the current representation is not enough. Many Gwinnett County school system employees fear retribution from school system leaders if they speak out, Bissell said. Boyce said the idea of the school system taking retribution against any employee "just floors" her. "I can't envision that at all," she said. Roach said she does not know of any time when retribution has been taken against any employee. She added, "Retribution has never been taken against any employee who's asked questions or had questions."

Travolta and Preston Gearing Up for 'Silent Birth'
While John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston await the arrival of their new son Benjamin, one thing is already a known fact -- when the little boy does arrive, Scientology will play a major role. John flew back to the USA from Australia on Sunday to make preparations for their new arrival, which will include a controversial "silent" Scientology birth.
"The couple will follow the church's guidelines during delivery," a family insider tells me. "No music, no talking and no screaming will be allowed during the pains of labor. Also their new son cannot be prodded for medical tests or spoken to for the first seven days of his life. You don't want to do anything that will haunt them for the rest of their lives."
Preston told Redbook magazine a few years ago that she tried to follow the church's guidelines during the birth of daughter Ella Bleu, but after 13 long hours of labor, she told her husband, "Throw me in the car. I want an epidural!" However, due to traffic, there was not enough time to get Kelly to the hospital.
"This time around, Kelly is determined to follow her church's guidelines," an insider tells me. "Everyone who will be present at the birth has been given clear instructions to not make a sound."
For your sake, Kelly, I'm hoping Benjamin will be more eager to meet you and John than Ella was! (Full disclosure: I haven't been silent for 13 hours in my life!)

This is insane. If they can't test the baby for 7 days, what happens if he needs undetected medical attenion within that period? Not speaking to a baby is not bonding normally...I consider all of this child abuse just as much as the religions that pray instead of seeking a Dr. and the child dies. They say "God must have wanted it back"...yeah, right!This is all irresponsible thinking, to just believe anything you hear or read when you know better...because you think you will get a better place somewhere in the hereafter. What matters is here on earth, if you live it right and follow your heart, you will end up where you belong. I don't believe in organized religion for this reason...there are way too many and they all contradict each other. Pray and be spiritual, it's okay. You don't need to PAY, give tidings, or do anything you know is wrong. Religion is the biggest money making scam on the planet. Again, you don't have to pay to pray!

- Monday 15 NovemberBy Linda
Silent births do happen, my daughter delivered without saying a word or screaming. It was in a hospital and done because of who she is and not any churches guidlines.
Scientology couldn't save there son Jet now could they or fix the problems he had. Trust God but God also gave knowledge to Dr's and produce pain medication if needed.

Absolutely! I had my first child at 34. Problem birth and they took my baby right away because he was not breathing. I did not get to hold him for a day and I missed that. I did not scream a lot, just moaned but the pain was unbearable. To this day I still miss these first hours. Thanks God we made up for it with lots of love and hugging since then!!! These people are full of it. Babies are a true miracle and should enjoy every minute of it, screaming or not.

Ron L. Hubbard, the man who created this windbag insane cult, was a bad science fiction writer in the 50's and 60's and he wasn't making enough money selling his books, so he and his oldest son created this cult and all members have to give enormous amounts of money to belong to it.

If she's not allowed to scream, they ought to let her bite down on John's hand instead - that way they can really share the pain.
