No Laughing Matter : A serious look at Gov. Mike Huckabee's record and policy beyond the one-liners.
- Gov. Mike Huckabee: "And the ultimate thing is, I may not be the expert that some people are on foreign policy, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night." (WABC Radio's "Imus In The Morning," 12/4/07)
- National Review : "The Holiday Inn Express Candidate." "In sum, conservatives should have worries about the depth and soundness of Mike Huckabee's foreign-policy views. And staying at a Holiday Inn Express is not going to be enough to allay them." (Editorial, "The Holiday Inn Express Candidate," National Review , 12/10/07)
Former White House Adviser Pete Wehner
MSNBC's "Morning Joe"
December 19, 200
Former White House Adviser Pete Wehner Discusses Huckabee's Attacks On Bush Foreign Policy:
MSNBC's JOE SCARBOROUGH: "Welcome back. We got Jim Cramer to stay because he's mad. He's mad for life brother and he's number one with a bullet. Let's bring in right now Pete Wehner. He's former deputy assistant to the President, senior fellow right now at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Pete, thanks so much for being with us."
PETE WEHNER: "Nice to be with you. Thanks for inviting me, Joe."
SCARBOROUGH: "You have written and we're a little shocked and stunned and deeply saddened because the guy that loves Jesus, generally loves Jesus, Mike Huckabee was on our show earlier. We're friends with Mike. He likes Hendrix. I mean, he's got all the bases covered. But you have gone after him in a National Review article and you say that his Foreign Affairs article where he attacked President Bush for being arrogant and having a bunker mentality was misguided, and you said it was stunningly silly and deeply revealing. In what way?"
WEHNER: "Well, it was revealing because the criticisms that he made were with the kind that Jimmy Carter and Al Gore would make, not that usually conservative Republicans would make. He said that the President was at war with the world, which is not true. He spoke about the 'arrogant bunker mentality.' He said that the President really should deal with Iran like you deal with miscommunications between parents and friends. And that's actually not how you deal with Iran. It's not that he criticized the President. I've criticized our policy on Iraq. But the grounds of the criticism, I thought were wrong and, as I said, silly and I think for a Republican running in a Republican primary you don't want to sound like Jimmy Carter or Al Gore or the Daily Kos."
SCARBOROUGH: "Do you think, though, that a lot of Republicans are concerned with let's say what Paul Bremer did with the de-Baath-ification plan or what Donald Rumsfeld did by not giving the generals all the troops they wanted. I mean, Republicans, I know you've heard from other Republicans. There are similar concerns about missteps after we got into Baghdad."
WEHNER: "I acknowledge those and I accept them, actually. I've got some of the same complaints. Clearly the post-war situation wasn't handled well. We didn't have enough troops. We didn't have the right counter insurgency strategy. We have it now with David Petraeus. That wasn't the grounds of my criticism for the Foreign Affairs article. As I said, it was the nature of his criticisms as they related to this 'arrogant bunker mentality' that we really weren't, that we were having a problem in communications with dictators in the world. Well, sometimes it's actually the nature of the regimes that cause the problems. Its not that you're not being nice enough to them. He was making the argument that if you dominate the world you're going to illicit opposition. We're not dominating the world. We're actually trying to liberate some countries. And sometimes that elicits opposition."
CNBC's JIM CRAMER: "Peter, this is Jim Cramer, it seems like that Huckabee is also implying that we are a stingy nation that doesn't do a lot around the world. Isn't it true that we're the most, by far, the most generous nation in the world towards both friend and foe?"
WEHNER: "Yeah. That was another criticism that bothered me. Implicit in his argument is that it wasn't a generous nation. If we were generous we'd be well-loved. The reality is that we are generous. We give a huge amount in foreign aid. The President's global AIDS initiative which increased the amount of money to combat global AIDS by five times over the Clinton Administration is one of the great, generous, humane foreign policy achievements ever. And the reality is that we liberated more than 50 million people from two of the most despotic and cruel regimes in modern history and that was an act of generosity. It's come at a lot of cost to us in terms of human lives and in terms of money. It's cost more in lives and money than it should have. But the reality is that the impulse was generous and I think when all is said and done we'll look back on in history as having done the right thing and the generous thing."
MSNBC's MIKA BRZEZINSKI: "Peter, pertaining to the Foreign Affairs article written by Governor Huckabee and the words that he used, isn't it also true that we're dealing with an administration that led us into war on faulty intelligence and an administration that brought up the possibility of World War III which appears to be on intelligence that is still sort of hard to decipher at this point. I mean, isn't there something to be said for the 'arrogant bunker mentality' and why can't Republican candidates say that? Is there some rule against it?"
WEHNER: "No, there's no rule against it. He said it. But there's no rule against criticizing him for saying it. In terms of the faulty intelligence, I don't dispute that. Of course we went in with faulty intelligence and it was a huge, huge failure. The rest of the world had faulty intelligence. Countries that even opposed our actions in Iraq had faulty intelligence. They believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. I would say, that it would be nice if, once in a while, people pointed out that there was a burden of proof on Saddam Hussein to meet the obligations that he had agreed to. He didn't. He intentionally kept the inspectors out, and based on his history we drew conclusions. They were the wrong ones. Again, I don't dispute the idea that the Bush Administration can be criticized or even if it should be criticized. In eight years, you're going to make mistakes. This administration has made some; we've made some big ones. My objection was the nature of the criticisms. I just think Governor Huckabee who is a very smooth and talented fellow – you saw that in your interview with him. He's the best debater in the field. He's a terrific speaker. But, I think on foreign policy, his views are wrong, and he's pretty inexperienced and it's showing."
SCARBOROUGH: "Alright, Pete, thank you so much for renewing this. Pete Wehner. He's with The Ethics and Public Policy Center. You can read Pete's critique on the National Review Online and you can also see Governor Huckabee's article in Foreign Affairs."

Are your web applications protected from cyber threats? Theft of consumer data from popular websites was featured prominently in the news in 2016. Yahoo! announced that it had yet another massive attack with data from more than 1 billion user accounts compromised, making it the largest breach in history. This blog is the second of a series covering protection of your content, applications, and access to them, and will discuss the state of web application threats and defense strategies.
Most observers expect the frequency of cyber-attacks to increase during 2017, part of the reason being the ease by which attacks against web applications can be launched. The application layer is hard to defend, being exposed to the outside world. This is because in order for an application to function, it must be accessible over Ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). For a good discussion and demonstration of how the most common web application attacks are performed, read the article and watch the embedded videos from SecurityIntelligence.
Defending Against Web Application Attacks
There are two fundamental ways to protect against attacks: On premise Web Application Firewall (WAF) network nodes, and cloud-based protection. On premise hardware based WAF network nodes deployed between the internet and an organization's network, have been a popular solution. These devices contain software that can detect the signatures of attacks, and only pass legitimate traffic through to the network. Because all traffic to a website must pass through the WAF so it can detect and block attacks, there is a significant impact on performance of web applications. The reality is on premise WAF nodes are almost passé.
What is rapidly becoming the go to solution is cloud-based defense. This is implemented by locating WAF nodes between origin servers and a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), which does the heavy work of content caching, web acceleration, and delivery of static content to websites. Web app attacks are dynamic, so this is the only traffic the CDN forwards to the WAF nodes. This minimizes the performance impact of WAF protection, and locks down IP traffic, as the WAF only accepts traffic from the CDN. The WAF detects attacks by filtering traffic according to rules from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) ten most critical application security risks. In addition, a security operations centers monitors dark Internet blogs and industry bulletin boards for new threats. When a new vulnerability is identified, an operations center creates a new security rule and pushes it to all WAF nodes. Even "zero-day" attacks can be closed prior to app vendor patches. The scalable cloud-based architecture results in a low total cost of protection of WAF services.
Best Practices Right Now
It will take time for the necessary application security vulnerabilities to be patched. In the meantime there are steps organizations can take to protect themselves.
- Implement the latest state of the art web application cyber-attack defenses. This means at the very least cloud-based protection integrated with a CDN.
- Make sure all web application patches are installed. If you have custom web applications, understand how the popular cyber-attacks are architected as described in the article from SecurityIntelligence, and that your applications are designed to prevent these attacks.
More to Come
The next blog in this series will cover securing content in motion with HTTPS. Also, as part of this series will be updates on events that may occur related to security issues. See you here next week!

ELMINA has become one of the most atonishing success stories for Sime Darby. I would anticipate the party would continue at least, until their next launch...the much awaited CRISTA. This is going to be the last series of the double storey link house at ELMINA GARDEN with a price tag less than 1M. The next launches (after CRISTA) will be very huge and wierd land sizes e.g. 90x59, 30x100 etc.
CRISTA is divided into 2 Phases: Phase 1 - 60 units (facing EAST/WEST) and Phase 2 - 64 units (facing SOUTH/NORTH).
It's targetted to be launched sometimes in March/ April this year.
I have to agree that a good product will always come with a price....tentative price is 888k for Phase 1 with 30 x 69 land size and 2703 sqft build-up.

GM Begins Testing Second-Gen Self-Driving Chevy Bolts
June 13, 2017 at 11:47 AM
General Motors Co. has built 130 Chevrolet Bolt electric cars with autonomous driving capabilities at its plant in Orion Township, Mich. The carmaker claims to be the first to build self-driving vehicles at a mass-production facility.
GM is testing the second-generation models (with onboard backup drivers) on public roads in San Francisco, and it plans to expand the program to Michigan and Arizona later this year. GM began testing first-generation versions of the self-driving Bolts more than year ago.
Production of the second-generation automated Bolts—which include lidar, video cameras and more than 40 other sensors and other hardware—began in January. GM unveiled the cars today during a media event at its Orion plant.

Social networking for engineers
Not all engineers hate Twitter. Many choose to use social media sites wisely. Michael Barr, a former editor in chief of Embedded Systems Programming, was way ahead of his time when he proposed an embedded systems community back in 2000. Since then, he's become an experienced user of social media. Here's his guide to social media for the busy engineer.
Would your best friend describe you as a "social" person? Do you like to "network" and meet new people? If you're an engineer, your answer is probably something like, "Um, no and no. Now can I slink back to my cube, Mr. Nosy?"
The growth of "social networking" in its many forms is a remarkable phenomenon that's proving powerful enough to reshape the economic landscape and trouble despotic regimes. For example, if (six-year-old!) Facebook were a country, it would already be the world's 3rd most populous.
That we the engineers—who ultimately make stuff like this possible—are mostly a loose band of individuals self-selected for our lack of people skills (a key trait that allows us to sit in cubes all day focusing deep-deep-deep on new technology) may explain why so many of us are luddites when it comes to using this "social" technology.
Some of us rationalize that we don't like connecting with people offline, so why would we do that online. Others that reading status updates from other people will take valuable time away from more important stuff. This fun video sums it all up:
"Until recently, wasting time on computers was the domain of engineers alone. Now even my Nana wants to keep me up to date on the status of her cats!"
But there's a lot of value in social networking for engineers. Here's how I use three social networking websites and why you should join them, too.
Every user on LinkedIn creates a "public profile page," which is something like a resume. Your profile gives your current job title, the name of your employer, and the nearest big city. If you want, your public profile also has space for you to expand on what you do in your current job or in your career generally. You can also list where you went to University, what you majored in, and your past employment history—complete with praise quotes from former colleagues and managers.
When you "connect" to another LinkedIn user, they get to see your private information too. This includes (by default) your e-mail address and phone number, as well as the names of your other connections. The majority of LinkedIn users seem to have on the order of 100 connections once they get setup. Your "in" list consists mostly of current and past colleagues, perhaps some classmates or other chums, etc.
Although it is not specifically advertised this way and has many other valuable features, I think of LinkedIn as primarily my cloud-based self-updating address book. It's an address book in that I can easily search for your phone number or e-mail address once we connect. If I can't remember or spell your last name, I can search by first name and anything else I can remember about you, like the name of an employer. And, as long as you take the few minutes to update your profile page and contact info each time you change jobs, we'll never lose touch with each other. Wow!
I've used LinkedIn to easily reconnect with old friends as well as to stay connected to colleagues, friends, and pretty much anyone who hands me their business card. Although I also have an offline address book, that's now much smaller than it used to be—and just for tracking those phone numbers and e-mail addresses that I use on a weekly or monthly basis.
There are smartphone apps for LinkedIn and I have one on my iPhone, but I rarely use it. I don't visit LinkedIn every day or even every week. Instead I visit the LinkedIn website in little bursts—such as just after a conference—or when I want to find someone's phone number. I've also turned off most of their automatic e-mails at this point, though those can be useful prompts when you're just getting started.
You can view my public profile at http://linkedin.com/in/netrinomike. If we've met somewhere (online or off), feel free to send me an invitation.

Sailing Aarhus
The organising committee for the Hempel Sailing World Championships Aarhus 2018 is formed by Sailing Aarhus, a non-profit sailing event management organisation constituted by the six sailing clubs in Aarhus, with a representative from each bidding partner joining the board.
Sailing Aarhus was established in 1999 in connection with the Danish bid for the 2003 ISAF Worlds and has worked intensely ever since, organising international sailing events in Aarhus. Sailing Aarhus has a permanently staffed office and has successfully run numerous international events such as the 2008 ISAF Youth Sailing World Championships, the 2010 505 World Championships and the 2013 49er & 49erFX European Championships.
Individually or collectively, the six yacht clubs have arranged major races and championships for many years. Their legacy extends back to the first international regatta ever held in Denmark, on the Bay of Aarhus in August 1866. For the past 25 years, the Bay of Aarhus has been the scene of more than 300 regattas. Among these have been numerous international championships, such as the Laser Standard Worlds, Europe Worlds, Yngling Worlds, 2.4mR Worlds, Star European, 49er & 49erFX Europeans, 29er Worlds and many European, Scandinavian and National Championships. The six yacht clubs have a total of more than 3,500 members, to which should be added the large number of enthusiastic sailing club members from all over Denmark who are expected to team up as volunteers.

Love that glitter. Thanks for the addition of the lovely flowers. What are they? Can you even lift your fingers with all those coats of polish on them? It's a lovely purple and I love the glitter. I'll be skipping that. Too many layers.ReplyDelete
Great colour!ReplyDelete
The glitter is like cuttings of shiny foil paper. I was surprised how large the pieces were, yet they still seemed to rest on the nail. I could do a funky French with that.ReplyDelete
Purple Velvet is beautiful with your morning glories!

Find out tonight on Books + what happened to some of the characters from Tim Winton's novel Dirt Music after the last page was read. They have walked onto the stage in a new play he has written. We will also pedal very fast, with some cyclists in Chris Cleave's novel Gold; and then ease back a little with US novelist – and author of Gilead – Marilynne Robinson. And do make sure you stick around for the Book Reading Omnibus tonight, because it's Joseph Heller's Catch 22.

We're a growing woodworking shop with solid books BUT a more business minded person may be better for the next phase. My natural set of skills lie in the shop, not the office. In about 2 years, we've grown from just one employee (me) to just over a dozen. Anyone have advice on finding someone who can continue the growth?I feel ridiculous even writing this but any words of wisdom are welcomed given I'm shooting in the dark right now.Along with our makers, we have a full time office person, and a full time shop foreman who runs the day to day activities.Thanks in advance on this super vague question.

Long-haul event TV is born
In December we took our event TV model to India. We broadcast live from CPhI India for UBM, using a special miniture configuration of our event TV technology. It all fitted into 6 suitcases, so no need for excess baggage. It worked without a hitch, giving us the confidence to know that we can go anywhere in the world and produce event TV. We had to have all the jabs, so hopefully it'll be worth it in 2016!
Here's what you missed
FI TV at Fi Europe - Paris!
Silverstream has had an exciting beginning to December, with teams in London, Paris and Mumbai we were trying our best to cover all corners of the globe! Our team in Paris were surrounded by food ingredients from around the world at one of the leading events for the food and beverage industry 'Food Ingredients Europe'
In 2013 we created FI TV in Frankfurt, in 2014 we repeated this at Health Ingredients in Amsterdam and in 2015 FI TV was even bigger and better at Parc des Exposition in Paris. Displayed on two impact LED screens and 16 additional screens around the venue, FI TV made a huge impact on the show floor. Our presenters Nick and Nicki spoke to industry experts finding out the latest trends in the food ingredients market - even getting to try some of the delights! Exhibitors from all around the globe were featured on FI TV, giving them the added exposure they needed to reach the large audience from 119 countries. We look forward to finding some new ingredients and taking FI TV to Hi Europe 2016 in Frankfurt.
Here are the highlights from day 1

Our presenter got to interview all the big cheeses (pun intended) in the industry to guide the viewers through the judging process, which involved 2727 different cheeses from accross the globe. As the judges whittled it down to just one supreme cheese, we were right there with them streaming live to the cheese award's website, as well as displaying the output on a number of screens at the BBC Good Food Show.

This morning started out like every other school day, but when I got to Global one of the 2nd year students was checking fares online to get to the conference next week in Denver. All 2nd year students were encouraged to attend and be part of the ministry team (consisting of Global and Bethel students), and though most knew about it since the beginning of the school year, I only really heard about it last week. I was disappointed, thinking it was too late to make plans. So when I saw the fare today ($242 RT) and realized I could split hotel costs with other students, I just had make it happen! Part of the decision to go was also because fear-based thoughts were being dropped in my mind (along the lines of "you're not ready for that yet"). I'm learning to run at my fears, and am convinced that if I waited until I felt ready for challenging things that I would never do them. I believe there's something important for me out there and that I can't afford to miss it. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Yesterday I felt as if I was going to be chosen as the prayer person (the one who closes out worship in the morning), but they forgot to draw a name. They forgot to draw a name today as well, but immediately after worship began Jen Dragt came over to me and asked if I'd do it. There was no assigned theme. If there had been, things might have turned out differently. So at 9:20 I was to go and take the mic and pray before the break. Worship starts with Be Lifted High and others followed that talked about wanting more, and I looked around the room and it seemed–to me anyway–that if we really meant what we were singing our worship would look different (my own included).
I thought about Ananias and Sapphira and how they held back a portion of the proceeds from a plot of land and then told the disciples they gave everything. They knew they were holding something back and chose to lie. I wondered what we hold back and we don't even know it. I'd like to believe I'm not holding anything back, but I'm not so sure. It's easy to say that we give God everything, but do we? What does that really look like? What are the little foxes that spoil the vine? And while we're crying out for more of Jesus, is it possible that He's crying out that He wants more of our hearts? How do we truly empty ourselves? I'm tired of my comfortable "cozy campfire days" and have been praying for a real baptism. All of this and more was running through my mind as I waited for the appropriate time to go forward, and I could feel myself starting to come unglued. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not the most comfortable thing in the world to have happen in front of a room full of people, even if they are fellow students who should understand.
So I went forward and sat on the edge of the stage and took the mic. I don't remember much about what I prayed, but I ended up sort of melting into tears, and I heard a few others crying as well. Pat came over, sat beside me and hugged me and, well, then I really started to cry. And cry. And cry. Even after I heard the worship leader dismiss everyone on break. I was a strange mix of embarrassed and broken and the next thing I know, a woman I never saw before (one of the speakers for the Eta class) is sitting on the floor in front of me, and she starts prophesying over me and I am undone. I was told later that some of the things I prayed about were in the teaching to the Eta class. God is good.
I think I should just stop wearing makeup to Global. Period. Either that or volunteer for some makeup company to test out their waterproof makeup :)
I'm thankful Kevin said I could attend the conference, though he informed me that he's borderline "suffering from major P deficiency" already, lol. I've got to fill his cup of reallyreally full before I go (in addition to making sure meals, wash, school assignments etc. are all done before Wednesday). Gonna be a very busy weekend methinks, but I'm not complaining. Guess I'd better sign off and get to work! Cya before soon! :)

An experimental opera in three short acts
Speechless in Development
17 – 29 July at the home of Vitalstatistix in Adelaide
Preparations for the development workshops of Speechless by Cat Hope have now officially begun in Adelaide.
Speechless, for the Australian Bass Orchestra, choir and four vocal soloists, is composed and directed by Cat Hope and produced by Tura New Music. The workshops are presented by Development Partner Vitalstatistix, though the 2017 Incubator Residency Program.
This will culminate in two public, work-in-progress viewings:
Friday 28 July – Saturday 29 July
Vitalstatistix, 11 Nile Street, Port Adelaide SA
Free entry, bookings from Eventbrite, doors and bar open from 6:45pm.
For the Australian Bass Orchestra, choir and four vocal soloists
Composed and directed by Cat Hope
Produced by Tura New Music
Supported by Development Partner Vitalstatistix though the 2017 Incubator Residency Program.
In contemporary Australian culture, a number of cultural groups find themselves in positions of impotency, where they are left without a voice – legally, politically or culturally. Speechless draws score and thematic material from the 2014 Human Rights Commission report entitled The Forgotten Children: National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention. The work is an abstract examination of how wordless music – vocal and instrumental – can empower text that is hidden or suppressed.
Using graphic notation and experimental vocal approaches, the work explores vocal techniques that owe more to electronic music than classical voice, engages a 10-piece shouting/screaming choir and the Australian Bass Orchestra formed from bass guitars, bass brass, bass drums and electronics supported by a powerful PA consisting of mostly subwoofers. Think of Diamanda Galas meeting the Finnish Screaming Men's Choir in an orchestra pit full of Glenn Branca's guitars reworked by Zbigniew Karkowski.
Producer Annalisa Oxenburgh, for Tura New Music
Musical Director Aaron Wyatt
Sound Design Guy Smith
Presented in an open warehouse space, the work follows the structure of conventional opera with an overture, arias, recitatives and choral sections. Yet the score is created using graphic notation, deriving material from aspects of the report such as drawings, graphics, tables and design schema. The vocal material is presented as notated, 'voiceless signing' – a type of singing without understandable words pioneered by the likes of Ennio Morricone in the 1970s, informed by the experimental work of singers such as Cathy Berberian, Joan La Barbara and sound poet Amanda Stewart. The orchestra provides a visceral element to the sonic world, with performers illuminated simply but dramatically to keep the focus on the human aspects so central to the work.
The Creator
Cat Hope is a composer and sound artist whose work explores bass noise, graphic notation and drone. As a solo bass noise artist and in groups such as Abe Sada and Lux Mammoth, Hope has created numerous soundscapes, songs and installations. She has also directed dance collaborations, short films and music videos. She has won numerous composition awards, including the Inaugural APRA|AMC Award for Experimental Music, the Civitella and Visby International Composer residencies and a Churchill Fellowship. Her music is released internationally and she has an active touring schedule. This work was developed under the Australia Council funded Peggy Glanville-Hicks residency in Sydney in 2014.
Development Partner
Tura New Music and Speechless are supported by the State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, in association with Lotterywest and The Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding advisory body.
