Book Review: Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking
"Georgia, Georgia…" The tune "Georgia on My Mind" was spinning through my head when I was given the chance to review "Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking," a book by Georgia Weidman from No Starch Press. Having watched some of her conference presentations online and knowing the work she's put into the Smartphone Pentest Framework (SPF), I've been looking forward to the opportunity to dive into the book for a while now, and her enthusiasm and efforts made it a worthwhile wait. Amazon's book description includes the following:
"In Penetration Testing, security expert, researcher, and trainer Georgia Weidman introduces you to the core skills and techniques that every pentester needs. Using a virtual machine-based lab that includes Kali Linux and vulnerable operating systems, you'll run through a series of practical lessons with tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and Burp Suite. As you follow along with the labs and launch attacks, you'll experience the key stages of an actual assessment – including information gathering, finding exploitable vulnerabilities, gaining access to systems, post exploitation, and more."
So with the new year upon us, this gives everyone the opportunity to dive into a topic whether it be for advancing your current career, jumping into a new one or simply to amaze your friends and families. Hacking news both good and bad are everywhere these days. It's time for you to get into the game. Find out how Ms. Weidman can help.
Course Review: Dark Side Ops – Custom Penetration Testing
Recently, I took the Dark Side Ops: Custom Penetration Testing course taught by Brady Bloxham of Silent Break Security at Black Hat Trainings. In their words:
Dark Side Ops: Custom Penetration Testing enables participants to "break through" to the next level by removing their dependence on 3rd-party penetration testing tools, allowing for outside-the-box thinking and custom tool development designed specifically for the target environment.
Dark Side Ops (DSO) is a course on targeted attacks, evasion, and advanced post exploitation… with a twist. The thesis of DSO is this: if you want to credibly simulate a real world attacker, you need advanced capability. You can't do this with unmodified open source tools. This course teaches students how to build and modify advanced capabilities. Let's take a closer look.

Book Review: Applied Network Security Monitoring
As books go, I'm a lifelong reader, so when offered the chance to do more 'regular' reviews for The Ethical Hacker Network (EH-Net), I jumped at the opportunity. The past few weeks, I've been buried in a GREAT read. Applied Network Security Monitoring: Collection, Detection, and Analysis by Chris Sanders and Jason Smith is an extremely informative dive into the realm of network security data collection and analysis. Fitting for both the offensive and defensive sides of security, the book looks closely at the various concepts, practices and tools that combine to create functional and cost-effective Network Security Monitoring (NSM) solutions for IT environments of all shapes and sizes. For the offensive-security minded, it gives an insight into the tools and techniques used to monitor the network, and allows one to consider how best to circumvent those methods. For the defensive-security minded, the authors do a fantastic job of equipping the reader with not only methodologies but also with tools and realistic examples.
Bear with me on this review, as this book at 496 pages is a long one, but in my opinion, an excellent resource. I'll do my best to give a thorough overview of the material while keeping things as concise as possible. Hopefully, you'll see that it's a worthwhile read in giving a running start into the world of NSM.

Book Review: Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing Guide
When asked by CRC Press to review a recently released book, Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing Guide by Rafay Baloch, a closer look was in order before agreeing. The book description reads, "Requiring no prior hacking experience, Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing Guide supplies a complete introduction to the steps required to complete a penetration test, or ethical hack, from beginning to end. You will learn how to properly utilize and interpret the results of modern-day hacking tools, which are required to complete a penetration test." A brief review of the Table of Contents and Description from Amazon piqued my interest, so I accepted the request and got to reading.
The book was written to take people with some technical but little to no 'hacking' background, and introduce them to tools, techniques and methodology in order to familiarize them with pentesting. As there are quite a few books on the subject, I was a bit skeptical at first, as I'm always looking for something 'groundbreakingly new' or with some extra insights that other books may not have. I can say, with certainty, that while this wasn't an overhaul of other books on the market, it was well organized and contained plenty of good information for a newcomer to get started into their learning.
A First-Timer's Experience at Black Hat and DEFCON
I was recently contacted by Don from The Ethical Hacker Network (EH-Net) and asked if I was interested in attending the Black Hat USA 2014 Briefings as the winner of a monthly giveaway contest on his site. I had never been to either Black Hat or DEFCON, so I jumped at the chance to see what the fuss was all about. This is a short write-up on my conference experiences to help give future first-timers an idea of what to expect.
Before getting to my experiences as a BH/DC Virgin, let me share a little about myself. I've been performing digital forensics for five years and started studying hacking and pen testing about two and a half years ago. I originally started my studies to improve my forensics skills but it soon became my favorite hobby. I feel that it's important to include this information, as there is a huge variety of ages, experiences and personalities of the attendees. What you bring as well as what you expect to do can drastically affect your own experience of these two events. Therefore, your mileage will most certainly vary.

The third edition of The Overview Effect; Space Exploration and Human Evolution is now available. It includes new interviews with astronauts and with future space explorers like Sir Richard Branson and our own Loretta and George Whitesides.
"Space travel needs a new birth, and if we can tap into the desire to go into space, incredible things can come from it."
Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, including Virgin Galactic
"The Overview Effect is an important book in helping people see that your attitude does change when you see the Earth from the space perspective –an experience that seems to be an almost universal phenomenon."
Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and founding member of the Overview Institute
"It is a dynamic, crystal-clear view that just glows, and that doesn't come across in the pictures and videos. You feel more a part of it when you are looking at it that way. So it is a reaffirmation of what a beautiful and special place the Earth is."
Nicole Stott, NASA astronaut

In Chapter 3, "An Overview of the Spaceflight Experience," White discusses metaphor as a method used by the astronauts to attempt to explain their spaceflight experiences. Launching from the ideas of Julian Jaynes in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, White concludes that "one result of space exploration is that language will grow as spaceflight is described more frequently."
White is spot on here. Metaphor is powerful. It is a way for the human mind to strive to express something that cannot be grasped directly, either by the speaker or the listener. In essence, it creates reality by indicating a relationship that was hitherto unrecognized, or even existent. Spaceflight, for example, is a raw experience, but what does it mean? Like all life experiences, it does not have one meaning for all time, but changes in context over time and with different astronauts. White makes the point that "memory of it [the spaceflight experience] acts as a time-release capsule, emitting feelings, insights, thoughts, and ideas over the years after it has occurred."
White then goes on to describe the active legend-building that orbited the early astronauts. "Societies need heroes who are specially selected to undergo hardship and danger on the frontiers of civilization. Space is today's frontier, and the astronauts and cosmonauts have become today's heroes, people who have extraordinary experiences unknown to others in the society, doing something that requires uncommon bravery."
Deeds are the germ of legend, and legend is the fount of myth. And metaphor is the language of myth. We moderns hear ancient myths, and instantly think "how preposterous," or "how quaint." We have even morphed the word "myth" to be synonymous, in some contexts, with "lie". We constantly feel the need to debunk or bust myths, as if they are some insidious plague of which we must rid ourselves. But that is because we are losing our sense of metaphor, and what it is trying to do in helping shape our reality, and give it meaning.
While we are eschewing myth in one sphere, we are actively building it in another. The early astronauts were indeed our heroes, the strong-willed warriors with "The Right Stuff" who would battle the Cold War by proxy. Even the very name "astronaut" is an evocative metaphor – "sailor of the stars."
But the context of myth changes over time, and the metaphor which once served so well has now fallen into disrepute. Those noble heroes of that bygone era, the "Space Age," are now one more relic of the Military Industrial Complex. We don't need fighter pilots in space anymore – the nature of conflict has changed, and the anticipated space war is probably not going to happen any time soon. We have even gone so far in our popular culture as to parody that "right stuff" mythos in movies like Armageddon and Space Cowboys. Many view the early space program as a dead end, and now say things like "Why go to space until we solve all our problems here on Earth first? The space program is just an elitist escapist fantasy that can do nothing to help the planet."
But that is the result of our modern myth-busting proclivities. Just because the cultural terrain has shifted does not diminish the accomplishments or worth of those early space explorers, those heroes. The valuable and worthy activity now is to actively engage with our space explorers, to interact with them to reach for new, fresh metaphors that transform our understanding of space from something to conquer to viewing it more as an extension of our environment, which is precisely what it is. The role of the space explorers has transformed from conquering heroes to dedicated, focused achievers of missions, precisely the same shift in dynamics we have seen in many frontier contexts. This in no way diminishes the stature of the early space pioneers, but rather places them in the mythic context of blazing the trail and making it possible for more of us to go, when the opportunities present themselves.
White then goes on to ask whether spaceflight is a spiritual experience. "Spiritual" is now one of those loaded words in our culture, along with "religion" and God" that mean something different to just about everybody who uses them, and are subject to our myth-busting propensities. But space exploration definitely does have an effect on humans that take us beyond our normal context. The renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell discussed the transformative power of metaphor to reach for deeper insights in his book The Flight of the Wild Gander. He tells us that the philosopher Immanuel Kant "offers a four-term analogy ("a" is to "b" as "c" is to "x"), which points not to an incomplete resemblance of two things but to a complete resemblance of two relationships between quite dissimilar things…. Mythological, theological, metaphysical analogies, in other words, do not point indirectly to an only partially understood knowable term, but directly to a relationship between to terms, the one empirical, the other metaphysical; the latter being, absolutely and forever and from every conceivable human standpoint, unknowable."
Space is that inconceivable unknowable metaphysical condition, that astronauts have experienced directly, albeit from their limited human perspectives, and are continually reaching to find the right metaphors, the right Kantian relationship, to express to the rest of us, to give us a sense, as White points out, of what is was like. That metaphysical reality can never be fully apprehended or understood by even those who experienced it. The astronauts need us as much as we need them, so we can mutually push our communal language to find new metaphors, new ways to understand and communicate that ultimately ineffable experience.
That experience definitely has a spiritual quality to it, in that it compels all of us, the astronauts and the ground observers, to reach beyond ordinarily-experienced reality to a metaphysical sense of participating in something greater than ourselves. As White points out, for some astronauts, that translated into achieving the goals of the mission to the best of their ability, with no attention paid to what is commonly considered "spiritual." Yet the challenge of the experience called to the fore that response from those individuals which would otherwise not have come to fruition. Space calls out the best in us, and it is our constant challenge to grapple with the shortcomings of our language to strive to create new metaphors which can lead us to a greater sense of context, meaning and myth, as we struggle to understand our place in the universe.

When I first heard astronaut Ron Garan use the term "fragile oasis," I immediately thought of it in ecological terms. Many astronauts have echoed Ron's thoughts, focusing in particular on the thin atmosphere that is the only barrier between us and the vacuum of space.
However, I had another understanding of the term recently, when two extraordinary events took place on the same day. First, there was a meteor strike that hit Russia, shaking buildings, shattering glass, and injuring more than a thousand people. Then, there was the too-close-for-comfort flyby of an asteroid that passed within the orbits of many of our own communications satellites.
The asteroid encounter was expected, the meteor strike was not. Both engendered excitement and fear, though, as scientists let us know how lucky we were that the meteor did not explode closer to the ground and the asteroid was not in a slightly different orbit. We heard a lot about the dinosaurs and why they are no longer with us.
The asteroid, named 2012 D14, is actually the more serious problem. Meteorites crash into the atmosphere every day, most of them burning up harmlessly. The danger of asteroids is that there are so many out there, and we don't know where all of them are. The media talked at some length about mitigation strategies, which sounds plausible, but you need to have advance warning before you can try to nudge these space rocks away from our home planet.
After the excitement died down, what occurred to me is that the Earth really is a fragile oasis, in more ways than one. It's not just an environmental issue; it's also the fact that a collision with something the size of a small car could be the end of life as we know it.
As one who has long been interested in the Overview Effect, it also brought to mind something those of us at the Overview Institute have been trying to communicate for some time: we are in space, we have always been in space, and we will always be in space.
We are traveling through the universe in a natural spaceship at a high rate of speed, and there are lots of other things rushing about as well: comets, asteroids, meteors, and even a rogue planet or two.
It is not surprising to me that astronauts like Rusty Schweickart and Ed Lu are interested in figuring out how to save the planet from an asteroid hit. They have been out there and they've seen the Earth not only from space but also in space. They know that you can hold up your thumb and blot out the past, present, and future of humanity and all life. They know, in short, how precious this fragile oasis really is.
For some, the message is clear: if we are to survive, we must become a multi-planet species, and that is likely to happen, perhaps sooner than we think. For others, it is asteroid mitigation to protect the planet. For me, it is both. Our true environment, as the asteroid and meteor reminded us, is the solar system, and we need to learn as much about that new environment as we can if we are going to survive an

Apple's iPhone Ranked #1 in Mobile Web in Americas and Europe
AdMob released its latest report and it states the iPhone is the leading smartphone not only in the Americas, but in Europe as well. This news should really come to no surprise to any of our readers, and it's not the first signs of Apple's dominance in the smartphone world as we've reported its U.S. success of mobile web traffic previously. As you can see, the iPhone is annihilating the competition regarding mobile traffic in some major markets.
blockquote>"Alongside the iPhone growing to 54 percent of all smartphone Internet traffic in North America, it now makes up more than half of all handheld traffic in Latin America (56 percent) as well as Western and Eastern Europe (78 percent and 51 percent). Apple's lead is especially high in Oceania, which centers on Australia and New Zealand, as it represents 92 percent of all mobile data."
Following behind Apple's footsteps here in the U.S., we have the Motorola Droid coming in 2rd in overall smartphones. Sadly for our good friends over at PreCentral.net, their beloved device only took a lonely 2% of the pie.

Apple's iPhone Ranked #1 in Mobile Web in Americas and Europe
And it will only grow. Apple iPhones will become massive in the 3rd world as time goes on. It will allow them to have a small, light, portable computer in their hand. The $100 laptop may work for some, but with the right small solar panel, or he'll even a hand generator, they will be in business.
I think the tablet will be an even bigger success. I will get one after the first Patch to the OS comes out to clean up any bugs.
The large proportion of Symbian browsing just reflects the huge number of Nokia phones in the world market. Android's numbers are rather impressive to me. I wouldn't think it would be that high already, and it will only gain in this area. WM's numbers are frankly embarrassing, in that most BB users aren't using it primarily for mobile browsing.
In the human process of continuous self-reflection, for photovoltaic power generation that was so clean and direct forms of energy have become more cordial, china-solarwaterheaters.com not only in space applications, in many areas also show off their capabilities.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar
I have a Palm Pre.
It's no surprise that the Iphone is #1. It's been out for a long time and it's had the best mobile browser.
However, the Palm Pre Browser is VERY VERY good. Many people say the last update that helped our browser brought the Pre 2nd only to the Iphone, who's first because of the many mobile websites dedicated to it.
Web Browsing on my Pre is simple and effortless. I imagine it would be because it is called WEBos.
One cool thing the Iphone needs is when doing universal search, a "search google" option that the Palm Pre has. Very very useful.
The fact that Symbian is number 2 just shows how stubborn people can be. :/
Where will the numbers go? Most likely WAY higher for iPhone and naturally lower for the rest. Most of you thinking the tide will turn in favor of Android or whatnot, remember this, there are 18 million iPhones currently under some sort of subscription and those are the ones that are the basis for this data.
Considering also there are a lot of devices out there which run Android, naturally not only the over hyped Nexus One, the numbers are sad for Android.
And are you seriously considering flash ability on the Pre as a sales pitch? The iPhones out there can't play flash content either, you don't see their sales low.
The Nexus One reportedly had sales numbers of about 25.000 in the first week. Compare that to the iPhone 3GS with 1.8 million sold in the first 3 days after it was released.
i'm not sure I agree with what you wrote, but I like the way you put your arguement across in your beliefs. Just started following your feed.

Taxpayers pour nearly $9 million a year into salaries for central office administrators in the Buffalo Public Schools – the very people deemed by the district's distinguished educator to be largely responsible for the consistent failure of the system.
Teachers have long complained that district administrators isolated themselves in City Hall, growing increasingly out of touch with the realities of the classroom.
Now, teachers aren't the only ones complaining that central office staff are inaccessible, unresponsive and out of touch with the schools – so, too, is Judy L. Elliott, the distinguished educator appointed by state Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. to recommend ways to improve the district.

If a glowing red-eyed monster with a giant axe is running down the hall at me, I don't care if it's PC or NPC, I'm running. There is absolutely no difference between a roaming mob and a PK other than, in some cases, the PK is smarter.
Part of the problem is that mobs in most MMOs suck. They spawn on their X, stand around waiting to get killed and have what seems like no more than the most basic AI possible. For TEN YEARS that has been the predominant mob experience. I can't really elaborate on the mobs or other aspects of the Wizardry Online dungeons, however I can say that the game is designed so you are constantly on your toes. Something somewhere is always looking to kill you, and sometimes the best option in a situation is run your ass to safety, and no I'm not just talking about PKs.
To your points on death, recovery and the original Wizardry... I think you might like WO. :)

I don't see how WO addresses any of this. Its exactly that same model. Even worse really in that even bosses are restricted to their spawn unlike many games that have roving bosses and incidentals that are completely random.
As to "Wizardry"'s post, wtf does FPS have to do with Permadeath? PVP comes in the form of RPGs too, try the Original Darkfall, for instance. Or even Rakion. Those are PVP mmos. FPS shooters might be call PVP, but with an eyeball and a gun, what else are you going to do but kill things? Maybe you meant you like competition some times?
How hard is it to wrap our brains around the idea that you might lose your toon, but the majority of progress and all the really important stuff is at the account level? Its not rocket science, you have characters that are your extention and they can be made rather easily, regardless of level if your grow at the account level is high enough. I bet 10 minutes after I post this, the next guy will be in here crying about his potential losses and how unfair it will be... not conceiving of any of this aspect of WO.

I have just finished my second day of playing this game. I find it have a weird and inviting appeal to it. I usually get bored quickly of MMOs because they are so predictable and i feel like it's just doing the same thing over and over again. This game offers me a challenge. I know i can't rush forward for no reason, i usually tend to avoid fights if i can help it and stick with my quest and most of the time, quests alone are good enough for you to level. They are well calculated.
I died over 10 times now. Today, i feared for my character and im level 6. Each time i have to head back toward that statue to revive, i get anxious and worry. I get this real feeling of frustation and don't tell myself: "Oh well.. ill just head back after." I ask myself... "Will i be able to get back?" Once there, i have a stiff 91% chance of reviving. IT seems nothing, but when your character is on the line, even those 9% chance is scary... because what if? I am geniunly doing my best not to die. I use my head and gouge my opponent. This game force me to do that, it give me the impression that each fight is worth something and that i have to work for each of them. I have to concentrate and not simply watch a video while i click and cast the same spells over and over again.
What make this game good with permadeath, is that it is complemented by other factors. The game is built around challange. The fact that your life and mana dont regen automatically. The scarse amount of loot, gold teamed with the expensive price for potions and healing items. The amount of damage the enemy make and their ferocity. They use skills, they are unpredictable and they can suprise you. Thjey will gang on you, they will block, they will dodge. Traps are deadly, sometimes hard to see. Its a combination of all those factors that make it a good and hard game. It is not a casual game. It's made for those who are bored of the doing the same thing over and over again, of sure victories. You can hardly solo bosses in this game. Only rogues have some chances because they can be stealth and that would take a long, long time.
Permadeath is well implemented, if you can sacrifice some gears you will not get your character taken. Just dont die too often and think carefully and you will not loose it. Be reckless, solo everything and be impatient. And well... there goes it. The reward is not in the loot, but in the genuine feelings you get for what you have and what you can loose. A feeling that you hardly get in videogames. It can be unforgiving, but this is what make this game so good.

true disconects can happen game crash also, it did happen to me several times, but here is the deal I never even get my body to ash yet, chances to res here is pretty high 95% also note then for each soul lvl you get bonuses some of these help with lvling speed from lower lvls and note equips will be bound to your soul lvl, if you are afraid to perma death you can stash some extra equips in your bank in case you die, also your soul lvl raise your chance to +6% with makes a 100% to res, just evade watchers and you can pretty much prevent perma death

Kris Jenner Doles Out Parenting Advice to Giuliana Rancic
With six kids of her own, Kris Jenner seems to have parenting down pat — and she isn't afraid to dole out advice to moms-to-be!
The Kardashian matriarch has even lent a helping hand to expectant parents, Bill and Giuliana Rancic, whose baby will enter the world via gestational surrogate early next month.
"Kris Jenner is like my second mother," E! News anchor Giuliana told Us Weekly. "Kris gives me the greatest advice. You'll email her one question, one line, and she'll respond in four paragraphs. She's the most thorough, amazing woman."
So just how has Mama Jenner prepped Giuliana for motherhood? Through expensive gifts, of course!
"She sent the best gifts for the baby: the cutest clothes from Ralph Lauren, [including] Olympic polos from the London Olympics that have the Olympic emblem," Giuliana said. "I thought 'wow, my kid is going to have an Olympic shirt from Bruce Jenner?' That's pretty cool. And she sent Baby's First Golf Clubs! Bill died when he saw that."

BARTELSO, IL (KTVI) – Hundreds of mourners and firefighters from over a dozen different departments said goodbye on Thursday to Tim Jansen. He was a small town volunteer firefighter who died in the line of duty on Sunday.
Everybody in this farm town of 600 about 40 miles East of St. Louis knew Tim Jansen. As the long procession of mourners marched down this highway the silence was therir loudest tribute.
They marched slowly under the gray prairie sky. There were people who had known Tim Jansen all their lives. There were people from miles away who only shared with him the hazards of firefighting.
Tim Jansen was one of six kids who grew up in this Clinton County town. He married there, had two kids there and died there.
The accident happened Sunday night in rough terrain at a house fire. Somehow…one of his own firetrucks from the Santa Fe Fire protection district backed over Jansen; crushing him.
Tim Jansen leaves behind a wife and two daughters. One in the eighth grade and one in the first grade.

Haha, it's safe to assume this is Stephen King's least popular book, given the lack of posts in this section...
I was in a bookshop in the North of England where I live a couple of years ago when I saw this book which I'd not heard of.
As a huge King fan I couldn't not buy it, so I bought it, but having no interest in baseball or sport generally it's sat on the shelf unread.
Is this one for baseball fans only or is there something for King fans?

Comments from Readers:
When I read the description of your book I thought it looked like it might be good. But when I got into it, I couldn't put it down. I found it thoroughly fascinating, cover to cover. I understood things about history that I had never known before. And I was thrilled to find that it was written from a Christian perspective. It was concise, informative, and written in a very understandable and enjoyable way. My husband and older daughter are going to read it next and I am going to get some more copies to send to others whom I know will enjoy it! I am a homeschooling mom of eight kids, three who have graduated. The ones I am schooling now are too young for this book, but I can't wait to go over this material with them as soon as they are old enough.
–Alynn, Highpoint, NC
After reading your excellent book, King Alfred's English, I feel compelled to write to commend you on such a delightful book. I have not read anything so interesting in a long time. Not only is the subject matter very interesting, your writing style is readable and entertaining. I will be telling other homeschooling Moms I know about your book. I look forward to having our children read it during their bookwork time as well. Thank you for the added helps available for free on your website. I think your timeline is great and have included that in our bookwork folder, too. May God bless your further efforts as you seek to glorify Him.
–Kelle S.
I am SO excited to be using this with my son this year! He'll be doing this first semester and Shakespeare second. I have read almost the entire book myself! …Great book and great materials!
[Then in a later email–]
So it's been a while and we're finished with the book. Thank you so much! My son not only loved it but I see a change in how he pays attention to language.
–Sara in Pittsville, WI
I have enjoyed your book on the History of the English language more than you can imagine. I finished it last night and am getting ready to read it again…It was SO interesting, fun, Informative-captivating!!!
–Andy Hudgens
Last year, I read and thoroughly enjoyed your book King Alfred's English. In January, I started teaching my children (four of them) from the Veritas History cards. The second event was the Barbarian Invasions…[and] over the course of three weeks, I read the first five chapters of your book and taught them all about how our language was changing from the time of the Celts to the time of the Vikings…We really enjoyed the study. I plan to continue with Veritas, but each time I reach an appropriate period of history, I will return to your book to discuss what is going on with our language. Thank you so much for this wonderful book. I just wanted to let you know that even 4th and 6th graders can benefit from it if they have a strong background in English and some experience with a foreign language.

Veterans Day: You had our back, now we have yours!
As a proud member of the 100,000 Jobs Mission, we're committed to finding jobs for transitioning service members and other veterans. These men and women have done so much for us, and now it's time to give back and ensure they can lead successful lives after military service by bringing their meaningful skills to the workplace. In addition, we're excited to give back in a big way to veterans and for you to do the same!
Here's a look into one Manager's story from our Auburndale Chili's in Florida, who is also a beloved community veteran.
Proud to serve his country, Ray joined the Army Reserves in 1991 right out of high school. On active duty for the next 10 years, Ray spent time in Germany and Korea as well as army bases in Washington and Kansas. During his tenure, Ray worked his way up through the food service division, eventually leading the team for an entire camp.
After spending his last few years in the military as an Army Recruiter, Ray moved his family to Florida where he could retire after 21 years of incredible service. When looking for a new life venture, we jumped at the chance to add this seasoned leader to the team, and after completing all his training at the end of October, Ray is an official ChiliHead. So next time you're in Auburndale, stop in and say thank you to Ray for his sacrifice and service for his country.
And as a thank you to all the veterans who have served as well as active-duty service men and women, we're giving away a free meal – on us – this Monday, Nov. 11 from a special Veterans Day menu, including:
- Oldtimer® with Cheese
- Chicken Crispers®
- Margarita Chicken
- Classic Turkey Sandwich
- Lighter Choices Grilled Chicken Salad
- Soup & Salad Combo
- Full Flatbread (any flavor)
- Pizza (any flavor)
- Lunch Combo during lunch hours
In addition to a free meal, this Veterans Day we're giving everyone a way to give back to the brave men and women who have served our country. On Sunday, Nov. 10, we're partnering with Wounded Warrior Project® by donating 10% of net sales from Chili's nationwide to this organization dedicated to assisting injured service members and veterans. All you have to do is mention Wounded Warrior Project to your server to help give to injured veterans and service members.
Another way to give is by scanning the QR code on the back of our Heinz® Ketchup bottles. When you scan the code, you can write a thank you card to those men and women who serve our country every day. The thank you will generate a $1 donation to Wounded Warrior Project, up to $250,000.

Melissa Rozic, special event coordinator, said Make-A-Wish of Northwest Ohio works to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions in 21 counties.
"We serve kids between 2 and a half and 18 with life-threatening illnesses," Rozic said. "Anything they wish for, we try to provide for them. It's an entirely cost-free experience for the wish child and their family."
Last year, the organization granted 85 wishes, and Rozic said this year it would be close to that number again.
Make-A-Wish plans the wishes as soon as the children are referred, and it takes an average of six months to grant them.
Rozic said Make-A-Wish of Northwest Ohio hosts three major events each year, along with fundraisers hosted by people in the community who wish to support the organization. Rozic said the nonprofit receives calls from people who want to hold an event, such as a golf outing or raffle and average 70 fundraisers a year.
The three major events hosted by Make-A-Wish take place in the spring, fall and winter.
Walk for Wishes will take place May 17 at Olander Park in Sylvania. Rozic said people can show up and walk or plan in advance and collect donations for Make-A-Wish. There will be activities at the park for families, such as zoo animals, clowns and inflatable toys.
"There will be something for everyone," Rozic said.
A wine-tasting event will take place at the end of September or beginning of October, Rozic said, and feature 10 restaurants from Levis Commons and 100 different varieties of wine.
Make-A-Wish's biggest event, a sports auction at the SeaGate Centre, takes place in February each year, where 300 sports-related items are auctioned.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary, Rozic is planning a large, one-time event in November.
Throughout the year, Make-A-Wish emphasizes the Kids for Wish Kids program, Rozic said, where school kids work to host a fundraiser for a wish kid and his or her wish.
People can volunteer at Make-A-Wish as a wish granter volunteer or an event volunteer and help at fundraisers and events.
"The wish-granter volunteers interact with the wish families and the wish child and help the child as they determine what their one true wish is," Rozic said.
For information call the Make-A-Wish office at (419) 244-WISH.

WFCS 2.23 – Recreating Classic Bullitt Car Chase
Driving the streets of San Francisco in the tire marks of one of the most famous car chase scenes was a real treat. Since the movie Le Mans we have had a family connection to Steve McQueen. So knowing that I was seeing what he saw (albeit at a slower pace) and connecting some of the storylines from the Bullitt Movie to real places, made this a very special show to film.

Foundation? Check.
Roof and walls? Next.
We're 3 weeks closer to opening the orange doors in January at Lincoln Road Mall, 1661 Jefferson Avenue, and we're amazed by the process and progress.
We'll continue to share photos of the build so if you happen to pass by, upload them to Flickr, tag them as "CB2" and drop us a note!
Thanks to amy, product manager assistant, for snapping the photos while on vacation with jimmy, her husband/CB2 architect.

A biography of Sir John A. Macdonald, the tale of an unknown hero of the Holocaust, the story of a forgotten musical genius and two deeply personal family memoirs are the finalists for this year's Charles Taylor prize, awarded for literary non-fiction.So, one prize goes ... but, don't worry, there are plenty out there!

Climate Debate Daily
Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:24Is this helpful?
Climate Debate Daily is intended to deepen our understanding of disputes over climate change and the human contribution to it. The site links to scientific articles, news stories, economic studies, polemics, historical articles, PR releases, editorials, feature commentaries, and blog entries. The main column on the left includes arguments and evidence generally in support of the IPCC position on the reality of signficant anthropogenic global warming. The right-hand column includes material skeptical of the IPCC position and the notion that anthropogenic global warming represents a genuine threat to humanity. Many sites on the Internet, including some of those listed at the far left of [our homepage], take firm views for or against the threat of anthropogenic global warming. As a matter of editorial policy, Climate Debate Daily maintains a studied neutrality, allowing each side to present its most powerful and persuasive case. Our object is to allow readers to form their own judgments based on the best available information.Arguably it is useful. All the debate in one place -- nice. But it was my understanding that the vast majority of climate scientists believe that global warming is most certainly occurring right now and is definitely (well, 90% probability)

Arguing about arguing, discussion about discussion, debate about debate
Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:24There is an excellent discussion over on the Talking Philosophy blog about arguing which asks -- "Whose side are you on in this dialogue? And can you justify your allegiance?":
JO: There's no point in arguing with you, I'll never win. TOM: No, because I'm right! JO: Not because of that, because you're better at arguing than me. TOM: Eh? You're not stupid. If I'm wrong, you should be able to show that I'm wrong. If you can't, then saying I'm better at arguing than you is just another of saying I'm right and you're wrong! JO: Not at all. Just because you can construct better arguments than me, that doesn't mean you're right. People can construct very good arguments for false positions. TOM: Sure they do, but if we're committed to rational debate, then you surely have to accept whatever the best argument leads you to. You wouldn't say "There's no point arguing with you, your evidence is better than mine". If I have better evidence, you should agree with me; likewise if I have better arguments. JO: It's not quite the same...I'm with Jo, I think! But I think I need to think about it some more! Or maybe I should just read and digest my copy of How To Win Every Argument and then I wouldn't need to worry about any of this! I do think that folk who debate regularly get better at it -- there are most certainly rhetorical skills that you can learn. And the issue of time is important here too -- some folk are just
