432 pages, 100+ illustrations, maps
The scope and volume of evidence and range of methods used to analyze the fossil record have increased exponentially in the last fifty years. Comprised of approximately 1,500 entries produced without jargon for those new to the subject, Wiley Blackwell Student Dictionary of Human Evolution includes timelines, maps, and over 100 illustrations, making it an indispensable tool for those studying human evolution. Paleoanthropologists, be they students or practitioners, need to be familiar with the record, but until now there has been no resource that covers topics as disparate as ameloblast daily secretion rates and exact randomization.
SCOPE . The DHE will provide entries for important scientific terms related to improving our understanding the great ape clade of the Tree of Life (i.e., the great ape clade). In order to do this, entries will cover the evidence and methods used to investigate the relationships among the living great apes, and all the evidence and methods germane to understanding the evolutionary history of the great ape clade. evidence about what makes the behavior of modern humans distinctive, and evidence about the evolutionary history of that distinctiveness. general evolutionary principles and up-to-date information about the molecular and developmental biological approaches used to help understand the pattern and process of evolution. information about the modern methods used to trace the recent evolutionary history of modern human populations. fossil and archeological evidence germane to the evolution of the Pan/Homo clade, and the climatic and ecological context of evolution within that clade. important sites and taxa, and some of the more important individual specimens. . FORMAT Entries of three lengths: Entries will be single author or, where appropriate, will be prepared by more than one author to ensure that the interdisciplinary nature of some topics is emphasized. Entries will be identified by the initials of the authors. Human evolution is a controversial field. Where appropriate entries will set out competing hypotheses, and if the editors think the evidence is in favor of one of them the entry will explain why. All entries will be screened by the Editor for depth and style. Entries can be illustrated with figures and photos. Entries may refer to a few references in the OUP style; these references would be listed together at the back. For example, in relation to a method, we would reference the initial paper introducing the method and then a paper that uses that method appropriately. Where possible entries will include examples. Maps can be referred to in the text, but will be gathered at the back. Student-friendly timelines could be developed to summarize important developments in archeology, dating, fossil hominin discovery, molecular biology etc. There would be data sheets providing basic comparative information about modern humans and the great apes. . ORGANIZATION . Editor . BW would act as the co-coordinator. I would hope that the project would be a collaborative one, in the spirit of "Human Biology: An Evolutionary and Biocultural Perspective". This was edited by Stinson, Bogin, Huss-Ashmore and O'Rourke, but they did it on behalf of the Human Biology community and was, to quote from the Preface, "a collaborative effort by members of the Human Biology Association to provide an introduction to the field of human biology.". Contributing Editors (All those listed below have agreed to participate). The Contributing Editors (CEs) will be a mix of senior experienced researchers who have an unrivalled knowledge of a topic, or topics, and younger research-active scholars who are known to be good researchers, good teachers, and who think and write clearly. The CEs will help generate the final lists of entries, comment on the lists in other areas where appropriate, generate entries as agreed with the Editor, help check these and other entries, and contribute where appropriate to the factual material (e.g., maps and timelines) at the end of the DHE. They would be selected because of their expertise in one, or more topics, and because they are known to be able to comment wisely on entries outside their specific research focus. Topic coverage to include: evolution of anatomically-modern humans (AMH), archeology (AR); behavioral ecology (BEC); central nervous system structure and function (CNS); dental morphology (DM); developmental biology (include. "evo-devo") (DB); earth sciences (ES); evolutionary theory and practice (ETP); functional morphology (FM); genetics (G); general biology (GB); imaging (I); history and biography (HB); life history (LH); molecular biology (MB); non-hominin paleontology (NHP); paleoanthropology (i.e., the hominin fossil record) (PAN); paleoclimatology (PCL); paleodemography (PAD); paleodiet (PADT); paleoecology (PEC); paleoenvironmental reconstruction (PER); primatology (PR); quantitative methods (QM); systematics (SYS); taphonomy (TA). Contributing Editors will also be chosen because they have a regional (morphological or geographical) expertise (e.g., Asia (AS), Australasia (AU), dental morphology (DM), East Africa (EA), Europe (EU), postcranial skeleton (PC), etc.).. Examples (with their coverage) of Associate Editors: Shara Bailey (EU, DM), Laura Bishop (NHP, EA), Chi-hua Chiu (DB), Mark Collard (ETP, QM), Sarah Elton (PEC), Craig Feibel (ES, EA), Matthew Goodrum (HB), Adam Gordon (GB, LH), Lyle Konigsberg (LH, PAD), Andrew Kramer (AS, PAN), Jacopo Moggi-Cecchi (DM, SA), Ozzie Pearson (AMH, PC), Tom Plummer (AR, EA), Brian Richmond (FM, PAN), Chet Sherwood (CNS), Anne Stone (MB), David Strait (ETP, PAN). Advisory Editors . These will be people who are experienced researchers in the field of human evolution. Their role will be to advise the editor about the scope and content of the DHE, in particular to suggest topics for inclusion as entries, contribute entries as agreed with the editor, help arbitrate contentious entries, check accuracy, inject their wisdom into the enterprise, and contribute as much, or as little as their time allows. The AE have will be chosen to that they will cover the topics indicated in the previous section. The following list is indicative only; the names in bold have been approached and have accepted (e.g., Leslie Aiello, Kay Behrensmeyer, Gunther Brauer, Alison Brooks, Frank Brown, Chris Dean, Jose Bermudez de Castro, Fred Grine, Colin Groves, Henry Harpending, Kristen Hawkes, Clark Howell, Jean-Jacques Hublin, Bill Jungers, Julia Lee-Thorpe, Steve Leigh, Svante Paabo, David Pilbeam, Rick Potts, Maryellen Ruvolo, Richard Smith, Fred Spoor, Francis Thackeray, Sarah Tishkoff, Peter Ungar, Elisabeth Vrba, Mark Weiss, etc.),. IMPLEMENTATION Editor to approach possible Contributing and Advisory Editors. Editor to prepare a classification scheme (see 'Contents') for the entries and to make a 'first pass' at a list of entries with the estimated length of each. Editor to prepare 'sample' entries from topics across the scope of the DHE, say five of each length. Editor to work with appropriate subgroups of Contributing Editors to fine-tune the lists of subject entries, and the list of site entries by region.

I'm curious about your experiences.
Most Helpful Girl
my 2 cents: initially they might conquer you with their extra enthusiasm, love for life, super stamina, and overall positive/unspoiled attitude, but yeah it gets old pretty soon - when you realize their level of immaturity and how they're trying to live off some 'ideal' they've never experienced in reality.. well, you're probably one of their first attempts at that kind of experiment, lol. I'd say it's better if you just look at the 'fun' part, but it's much worse if you're expecting to be somehow understood. 'enjoy it while it lasts', at the end of the day00|00|0
I feel he's using me as a relief crutch
if that's how it makes you feel, and there are no pros for yourself, I don't see why you should keep dating him then.
Thanks for your advice

American Ex-Pats Giving Up Citizenship
More and more expats are giving up their citizenship. This is not a good thing, but I had no idea we still had to pay Federal taxes when living abroad, nor did I realize that various recent (post 9/11) laws make it very difficult for us to live abroad, especially if we just happen to need a bank.
Stringent new banking regulations — aimed both at curbing tax evasion and, under the Patriot Act, preventing money from flowing to terrorist groups — have inadvertently made it harder for some expats to keep bank accounts in the United States and in some cases abroad.
Hopefully something is done about this in our government, but I'm certainly not holding my breath. It makes me rather happy I earned so little money (relatively speaking) when I was in Prague; they can't come after me for tax evasion!2 Comments | Catergorized: political

Obama and Some Polls
I'm not a big fan of polls. However, some that aren't designed to weigh in on whether a person should do a thing but rather what a population's perception of the person is can be illuminating. This Harris poll is rather scary, because they are all about how Americans view President Obama.
He is a socialist (40%)
He wants to take away Americans' right to own guns (38%)
He is a Muslim (32%)
He wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one world government (29%)
He has done many things that are unconstitutional (29%)
He resents America's heritage (27%)
He does what Wall Street and the bankers tell him to do (27%)
He was not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president (25%)
He is a domestic enemy that the U.S. Constitutions speaks of (25%)
He is a racist (23%)
He is anti-American (23%)
He wants to use an economic collapse or terrorist attack as an excuse to take dictatorial powers (23%)
He is doing many of the things that Hitler did (20%)
He may be the Anti-Christ (14%)
He wants the terrorists to win (13%)
Unsurprisingly, the percentages for Republican are much higher than these averages, as are the percentages for the less educated.
I'll refrain from extensive editorializing aside to say: What a freaking pack of idiots we have in this country.2 Comments | Catergorized: grrr political

Germany vs USA which one do you prefer, which one would you like your children to grow up with? Faun - Walpurgisnacht , German folk music
Nicki Minaj - Anaconda , American pop culture music
and don't tell me it is an unfair comparison and nonsense like that. This is the most fair comparison Niki Minaj is an American idol liked by millions and one of the most influential faces in American pop culture of today.
So tell me, which one do you prefer? the music videos also represent two different old cultures if you look deeper.

Today's the day- the announcement of the winners of the Be My Vampire Valentine Poetry Contest.
Wow it was close. I had a hard time picking the final winner.
But this one below gave me chills so it was ultimately my final choice.
I also picked an international winner.
Here they are:
Winning entry is by Virginia C
Ages of Love
Some time ago, fifty years past,
I met you, and you took my heart.
I stand beside you now,
As you take your last breath.
Though I have lived many centuries,
These years lived with you,
Yet without you, are all that is real.
I gave you a choice, life eternal or life apart.
You thought to let me go, but I was never far.
I danced with you at your wedding.
Rejoiced at the birth of your child.
Shared your sorrow as war took your son.
I watched as silver touched your hair, and
Your face became soft and lined.
He never deserved you, the man who shared your life.
You are my love, my heart and soul.
My forever wife.
I will not leave you now that your heart now longer beats.
I could not bear to never more look into your eyes.
I will hold your hand and await my own end.
The curtain is drawn, and the light filters in.
This is the final sunrise.
US Resident, GFC Follower, Subscriber
International Winning Entry by Katrina W
Blood kiss...
Sharp pain,
blood stained.
Love and life is drained.
Life will never be the same.
Hot date,
Tall, dark and handsome.
LIes told, hot kisses, passion ignited,
Trails and lust, An Enchanted kiss.
An alley, fear,
he was so very near.
His Blood kiss,
Till the end.
Darkness evolved
never to be told.
Love lies bleeding,
a new life proceeding.
Darkness becomes her.
Eyes flutter,
a whole new matter.
Eternally yours,
darkness forever
but we will be together.
Now My blood kiss,
drinking away the terror, the excitement, a vampire...
life filled with blood , desires,
it will never be the same

SuperYachtFan -
Yacht Name: Azzam
Yacht Length: 180 m (590ft)
Guests: 36 in 18 cabins
Crew: 60 in 30 cabins
Yacht Value: US$ 400 million
Owners Name: Emir of Abu Dhabi
Owners Net Worth: US$ 600 billion
Owners Company: N/A
Owners Country: UAE
Azzam is the world's largest yacht
The yacht Azzam is the world's largest yacht (measured by length), with a length of 180 meters.
US$ 400 million cost price
The yacht was built by luxury yacht builder Lürssen for an estimated build price of US$ 400 million. Her exterior design and styling is done by Nauta Yachts.
Christophe Leoni Design
The yacht's Interior design is done by French designer Christophe Leoni, who has designed a sophisticated and luxurious interior in Empire style. Luxury yacht
94,000 hp gas turbines
Azzam is able to navigate at speeds of more than 30 knots. The yacht is powered by a combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines with a total 94,000 horse power.
Bullet proof
She is rumored to feature a bullet proof master suite and a missile defense system. Azzam was delivered to her owner in October 2013. In March 2014 she was heading back to the Lurssen yard in Bremen for some post delivery works.
Largest Yacht by Length
In 2016 the position of the largest yacht in the world (measured by volume), has been taken over by the new Dilbar, owned by Alisher Usmanov).
Motor yacht Azzam is probably built for Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Emir of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). SuperYachtFan comes to this conclusion as several highly regarded superyacht sites mention HE Mubarak Bin Saad Al Ahbabi as being related to the Azzam yacht project. HE Mubarak Bin Saad Al Ahbabi is the United Arab Emirates' Chairman of the President's Private Department.
Team Azzam
Also Team Azzam is the official Abu Dhabi Volvo Ocean Racing Team, again linking Azzam to Abu Dhabi. Azzam means 'determination' in Arabic. So Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan is probably the owner of luxury yacht Azzam.
Sheikh Khalifa
His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, referred to as Sheikh Khalifa, is the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and emir of Abu Dhabi.
US$ 15 billion net worth
Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan is considered to be one of the world's wealthiest monarchs, with a net worth of USD 15 billion. Sheikh Khalifa also runs the world's second-

The P7600 Series TriMode probes and the MSO/DPO70000DX and DPO/DSA70000D Series Oscilloscopes are designed to deliver the industry's lowest system noise levels. This high sensitivity is critical for being able to make accurate measurements on low amplitude signals.
TriMode probing enhances productivity by enabling differential, single-ended, and common mode measurements with a single probe setup. Connecting a probe to the device under test can be a time consuming activity, especially if the probe has to be set up differently to make all the necessary measurements. TriMode probing improves productivity by reducing setup time, because only one setup is needed to make the three different types of measurements. Switching between Differential Mode [A-B], Single-Ended Mode [A-Gnd, B-Gnd], and Common Mode [((A+B)/2)-Gnd] is as easy as a press of a button.
As high speed serial data standards increase in speed and signal swings shrink, probes with high bandwidth coupled with low noise and high sensitivity are increasingly important for making accurate measurements.
The MSO/DPO70000DX and DPO70000SX Series oscilloscopes and the P7600 Series TriMode probes were designed to deliver the industry's lowest system noise levels. When used with a P76CA-xxx Coaxial Adapters, the vertical setting on the oscilloscope can be set as low as 3.48 mV/div with a system noise <1.1 mVrmsat 33 GHz bandwidth.
This high sensitivity is critical for being able to make accurate measurements on low amplitude signals. The P7600 Series TriMode probes were designed to deliver superior sensitivity and allow the oscilloscope to directly measure small signals without using a zoom function. Using a zoom function to look at small signals does not change the intrinsic noise floor of the instrument which can make measurements on small signals problematic.
The P7600 Series probes utilize an interchangeable active tip design built around a custom tip interface using high frequency SMPM connectors. The P7600 Series probes feature an Automatic Adapter ID function that recognizes the attached adapter and automatically applies the correct DSP filters that eliminate imperfections in the frequency response all the way to the probe tip. This feature eliminates the risk of manually selecting the wrong tip type and is more efficient for the user.
Coaxial adapters enable the probe to act like a differential input channel for the oscilloscope which effectively doubles the number of differential signals a single oscilloscope can measure simultaneously.
33 GHz Bandwidth Coaxial Adapter with 2.92 mm (Female) connectors. This adapter is calibrated at the input connectors and is ideal for use with off the shelf or custom cables. Low skew cable pairs should be used to preserve full bandwidth performance.
33 GHz Bandwidth Coaxial Adapter with 2.92 mm (Male) connectors and 6" of high performance cable. This adapter is calibrated at the input connectors and is ideal for directly connecting to devices with 2.92 mm or SMA output connectors.
33 GHz Bandwidth Coaxial Adapter with SMP (Female) connectors and 6" of high performance cable. This adapter is calibrated at the input connectors and is ideal for directly connecting to devices with SMP output connectors.
This adapter allows the P7630 probe to use existing Tektronix P7500 probe tips. The P7600 Series probe amplifiers have a 50 Ω input. When combined with a P7500 probe tip, the probe turns into a passive Z0 style probe with 450 Ω of differential input impedance. While Z0 probes can typically present a significant DC load to the device under test, the P7600 Series probes will minimize the effect of DC loading through the use of termination voltage adjustment.
30 GHz Bandwidth P7500 Tip Adapter. The probe and oscilloscope system will support up to 30 GHz of bandwidth when this adapter is used with the P75PST Performance Solder Tip.
The P7600 Series probes contain probe specific S-parameter data. Attaching a P7600 probe to a MSO/DPO70000DX or DPO70000SX oscilloscope transfers this data to the instrument to create unique system DSP filters based on the specific S-parameter data of the oscilloscope and the probe. Creating unique filters based on the specific response of the system is critical as bandwidths increase. At bandwidths of 33 GHz, small variations in the signal path can lead to significant variation in frequency response. These variations are corrected using DSP filtering.

Great Moisturiser
I suffer from very oily skin and this is probably one of the only moisturisers that actually has any impact on my skin. It is a light and gentle moisturiser that feels very refreshing on your skin. Unlike most mattifying products, this does not leave your skin feeling dry or tight afterwards. I have been using this moisturiser for over year now & find that nothing else quite compares.

The Opuwo Town Council could face the wrath of the Receiver of Revenue after the council failed to submit income tax deductions from employees to treasury between 2013 and 2014, thus contravening the Income Tax Act.
According to the Auditor General, Junias Kandjeke, the council may face penalties and interest charges levied for non-compliance to submit the pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) receipts of employees.
The Receiver of Revenue printout shows N$ 5 295 370 as the amount owed by Council to treasury for non-payment of PAYE deductions whereas the general ledger reflects a payable balance of N$6 954 741, the councils audit for the financial year ended June 2014 shows.
An amount of N$213 898 was transferred from the VAT account to the PAYE account to clear the balance, although the balance was not reflected in the council's records. However, after the transfer from the VAT account by the Receiver of Revenue, the balance was zero at year-end.
Kandjeke further indicates that, the water network and sewerage upgrades effected in 2013 were not depreciated correctly, and the property, plant and equipment of the prior year was not corrected in the year. Accumulated depreciation is therefore understated with N$700 875.
The auditors also noted that the property, plant and equipment is over insured by N$866 778.
"It is critical that the council reviews and updates the list of assets that are insured as they are acquired and disposed. This will ensure that the council does not suffer unnecessary costs," the auditor suggested.
Overall, the council received a disclaimed audit opinion due to the fact that the inventory value at year-end was not accounted for in the financial statements, consumer deposits were insufficient and outstanding balances of debtors were incorrect with credit balances being unallocated to their respective accounts. The council was also no able to give reconciliations for the Build Together and Fixed Housing Funds, which are under their administrations. The auditors could also not establish the amount that the beneficiaries owe the Fund and consequently the debtor's completeness was not satisfied.
"No supporting documents could be provided for the following expenditure line items; consulting fees amounting to N$1 104 197, repairs and maintenance amounting to N$167 827 and bank charges amounting to N$241 488," the auditor stated.
The council also had no proper documents and valuation reports for inspection relating to land and buildings compensation payments done for the year. The auditor could also not establish if the debtors from the sale of erven (which amounted to N$1 270 416) were included in the total debtors balances reflected on the balances reflected on the balance sheet. The council stands to lose money if records are destroyed.
According to comments by the AG, the council was not able to provide documentation for Water Consumption at the amount of N$6 574 680, basic sewerage (N$251 374), additional sewerage (N$471 993), Sundry income (N$452 791).
"No confirmation could be obtained for a contribution from Central Government's TIPEEG to the amount of N$11 459 375. The budget however included an approved amount of N$14 700 000. The completeness of contributions received could thus not be asserted. An amount of N$2.5 million from Central Government was received in 2013 but was accounted for in the financial year under review,"' the auditor noted.
Due to the significance of these matters, the AG could not express an opinion on the financial income accounts on water, sewerage, and sundry income. The council is exposed to financial losses if the Build Together Housing Fund are destroyed. An attempt to reconcile the total balance owed by beneficiaries could not be performed successfully. However, the council's bank account during the year under review amounted to N$5 570 882. Cheques not presented for payment amounted to N$473 017, resulting in a favourable cashbook balance.

Hi All.
I am looking at implementing an ID Vault for our pre-existing domino server and while I have found plenty of information on creating and setting one up. I have not been able to find much information on issues that could arise from ID Vault implementation.
Has anyone experienced any issues when creating an ID Vault on a pre-existing domino server?
Is there anything I should look out for or any oddities to expect once I create the Vault?
I am hoping to implement this smoothly and the last thing I want is to create the Vault and then find that half my users can't access their mail databases or any of our other databases.
EDIT: We are running a Domino 8.5.2 server on win2k3. Most of our clients are on 8.5 however some are still on 6.5.
Jan 22, 2013 at 2:27 UTC
I haven't seen any strange behavior from adding an ID vault. Just understand that it is a forward looking database from the time it is created. It will only capture ID files of newly created accounts, or password changes. It will not import all of your users that were created before the vault was setup.

Thanks George.
That is good to know :)
Jan 22, 2013 at 9:08 UTC
Hi Jono
Please check the requirements on ID Vault setup because if i'm not mistaken the users on version 6.5 might not load their id's to the Vault. I speak under corretion.
I got the Vault setup on my Domino Domain and its brilliant. Its straight forward. Just remember to push it with a Domino policy on your domino domain to make sure all users are affected.
Issues you will pickup is the following:
The id is not loaded in the Vault because the policy was not applied.
The user id's are not referenced on the network, especially my mac users.(6users) when the id's are local on the mac.(When resetting the password in the vault)
Thast about it.
Jan 23, 2013 at 2:44 UTC
Thanks Bin,
I have installed the vault and set up a policy to add a single (8.5) user to test with however I can't seem to get that user imported into the Vault.
I am scouring the help databases to find out what I'm doing wrong but nothing seems to be working. I have also tried creating a new Lotus user and they were not added to the Vault either... Odd.
Jan 25, 2013 at 7:50 UTC
In your registration document the Vault should be displayed and the option to store the new user should be available.Your policy must be an organisational policy. All users are forced to store the id in the vault.
Check your policy document if it is applied. secondly check DDM for the events on the Vault database.
Im sorry for the late response my storage had some issues and my VMware infrastructure was down for nearly 4 hours. Sorter now.
Please respond if not fixed i have something else for you to try.
Feb 20, 2013 at 5:36 UTC
Hi Bin,
So sorry for the VERY late reply as I was on leave.
I did manage to get this working today actually and found that the issue was that when creating a new "organizational policy" (created under "People & Groups" > "Policies"), the NAME must be left blank so that it will autofill with our actual domino server name. (I had initially created the policy with a set name and therefore it was pointing to nowhere)
Thank you all very much for your help on this one. I am learning a lot about the Domino environment every day now hehe :)
Feb 20, 2013 at 2:11 UTC
Thanks for sharing your experience
Feb 21, 2013 at 9:37 UTC
Thanx JONO - Glad we could help.
Jun 30, 2014 at 1:49 UTC
Unable to add a user after the vault was set-up.
Deleted the vault - I can now add a user again.
Jul 4, 2014 at 9:26 UTC
Damien funny enough i had the same issue when i first implemented the ID Vault. Had to delete the first copy and created a policy on the Domino Domain. Must be a bug.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Men that have children at an older age may put their grandchildren at a higher risk of having autism, according to a new study published in JAMA Psychiatry this week. The study maintains that risk factors for autism may increase over several generations, with a father and grandfather's lifestyle choices wielding a direct impact on future generations.
Previous research suggested that an older paternal age could predispose children to autism— this development goes a step further, suggesting risk factors can be established earlier in the genetic line.
The report states that men who had a daughter when they were 50 or older were 1.79 times more likely to have a grandchild with autism than a man who had a child when he was 20 to 24 years old. Men who had a son at 50 or later were 1.67 times more likely to have a grandchild with autism.
Doctors stress that these findings should not cause excessive alarm, as the study was not conclusive in proving advanced age leads to autistic children. While doctors point to a statistically significant increase in cases of autism with older grandparents, it is emphasized that autism was highly infrequent even in families with the oldest grandparents.
This study follows on the heels of an earlier report this week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, stating that 1 in 50 school-children are diagnosed with autism, a dramatic increase from prior years.

So, You Think You Can Live "Biblically?"
Posted by DEG
4 comments
That's the question that writer and blogger Rachel Held Evans is trying to answer. The author of a memoir about growing up in conservative evangelical circles (and with one of the best titles ever), Evans is addressing the issues raised in her first book about what it actually means to live fundamentalistically. As this Slate article details, this is not done for the sake of satire. Rather, she's attempting to answer what it actually means to live as a woman "by the book," following as closely as possible Old Testament and New Testament dictates concerning hair, dress, hygiene, and so on.
As the article demonstrates, she's only a month into the experiment and has already caught the attention of theological conservatives and biblical literalists. Though certainly intended to toss down the gauntlet on the "roles" of women in the church, the book will dive into issues of sex and the sacred that evangelicals all down the spectrum continue to debate, especially in and through their cultural and political activism. Regardless, it will hopefully make for a good read for courses on religious life, conservatism, and gender.
Postscript: Seth Dowland will certainly fill in the historical context for all this with his forthcoming book on manhood and womanhood in conservative evangelical politics. So, get your credit cards ready!

Point of information: Rachel's blog leads me to believe she is 10 months into her year.

When I read this post I immediately thought of Matt Sutton's AIMEE SEMPLE MCPHERSON and how gender roles are affected by religion. It never ceases to amaze me at how many interpretations there can be of the same book. I guess the meaning can vary as much as the individuals who read it, but it is interesting how different readings of the Bible can produce gender roles as extreme as McPherson and a Puritan 'Goodwife'. Living the ten commandments is too much for most people let alone all of the Bible's behavior prescriptions!

Whether it was holding out, playing on poor teams or playing on underacheiving teams he just never won a postseason game after 1995 when he was 24. Compare that to Fleury and while he had several disapointments in the postseason he always brought his team there and
there isn't a time you would ever think Fleury was the cause of his team being knocked out.
Granted, Fleury's resume could be better in the postseason too. Both could use some better raw stats, but it is certainly comparable.
Even if you did a poll back then and even today on who you would want on your team for a playoff run would it be that crazy to pick Fleury knowing what you'll get?
Well I am not making excuses for Fleury at all, but he was sexually abused a million times as a teenager by an influential hockey coach. You have to understand what kind of psychological damage that does to a young kid. How do you ever cope with this? You aren't going to let it effect your career and you certainly don't want to have a stigma about this while you are in a locker room full of guys. Sad to say, the only way to deal with this could be alcohol and drugs. So I think in many ways what he had was worse and less self imposed.
But onto the response, I certainly can see how Fleury is above Neely on an all-time level.
Fleury - 1088 points in 1084 games
Neely - 694 points in 726 games
Give Cam a bit of a playoff edge but nothing earth shattering. Cam was never top 10 in points but Fleury was better in that category than someone elected to the HHOF yesterday (Sundin). As far as top 10 in goals go it's pretty close:
Neely - 2, 3, 8, 9
Fleury - 2, 6, 7
Fleury had far more productive seasons in the NHL and that is what counts most. Neely falls into a "what if" factor while Fleury does to an extent but still has the stats to back it up. If you want to give Neely a pass for injuries then why not give Fleury a pass in 2001 when he was 3rd in scoring 2/3 of the way through the season only to go to rehab? Either way, the guy had a better career than Neely.
fleury vs. neely, i see the argument for sure. i'm not sure i agree with it (and i'm a huge fleury supporter), but i'm not 100% on neely's side either.
as for fleury vs. bure in the playoffs, i don't think you can say that bure ever didn't bring it in the playoffs or was the reason his team lost. you can say that his sample after 1995 is tiny, which it certainly is, but is there any single year where you wanted bure to do more? his one playoff trip in florida, it was him against scott stevens and the rest of the devils in the year they had probably their best ever lineup-- plus they won the cup that year, knocking off the defending champs in the finals. the next two best offensive forwards on the team (whitney and kozlov) scored 2 points combined (and bure factored on both of those goals). whitney was riding an eight game scoring streak going into the playoffs, and 14 points in his final 15 games. then he completely disappeared.
the team was awful and absolutely no match for the devils and stevens in his conn smythe year. the team was swept and scored only three goals in the final three games of the series, all three of which bure got a point on. it was certainly a better performance than fleury against chicago in '96, when fleury was totally overmatched as his awful team's only threat and chelios was to fleury what stevens was to bure.
and if you look at bure in vancouver in the years that weren't '94, he certainly always did his part. he and russ courtnall in '95 were amazing together. before '94, sure bure got shut down by the oilers in the second round his rookie year, and the kings in the second round the year after. but he also destroyed winnipeg in games 5 and 6 when the canucks were down 3-1 in the series his rookie year, and he ate winnipeg for lunch the year after. point is, bure was an extremely good, and one year beyond legendary, playoff performer. fleury had a legendary spike too, and that was a three year stretch, but as ohashi mentions above you can add those three years up and fleury still plays four less games than bure did in his ridiculous playoff year (fleury has five more points if you add those three years up, but they were all first rounds. sledding gets tougher as you go deeper).
that said, i agree: it wouldn't be crazy to pick fleury at any point in the 90s, but it would be equally sane to pick bure. both guys were dynamite in the playoffs, but bure was the better regular season performer when healthy. weighing that against fleury's greater longevity, even with the significantly better all round game, i still go with the guy who finished top three in points twice, top five in points three times, and led the league in goals three times over fleury, who never finished top five in points and finished second in goals once and has no other top fives in that category either (bure has five top fives in goals). i think ultimately, both guys are franchise players (neely never was, but yes he has the best playoff record of the three and i find it hard not to take that into very high consideration) but they were on different levels of franchise player.

On Language; Marry-o? Mahr-yo?
Published: July 23, 1989
HAVE A SENSATIONAL expose for you,'' writes Mario E. Severino of Colesville, Md. ''Mario Cuomo isn't really of Italian descent and he was not raised in an Italian family!''
This would indeed be news, clearing the path for Bill Bradley to the next Democratic Presidential nomination, provided he never bet on basketball games.
My informant bases his wild charge on what he has heard in commercials broadcast in the Washington area in behalf of the State of New York's tourism. Governors of neighboring areas like to saturate the nation's capital with spots featuring themselves, thereby saving the state money normally spent on announcers and - more to the political point - reminding national politicos and media biggies that the state's governor is alive and working.
''Cuomo's voice,'' writes Mr. Severino, ''says, 'This is >Marry-o Cuomo.' Any Italian will tell you that the first name is pronounced Mahr-ee-oh, the first syllable to rhyme with 'car' as pronounced outside of New England. In Italy, Mario is really a two-syllable name - Mahr-yo. Never, never Marry-o.''
With the writer's permission, I forwarded his letter to Governor Cuomo. The New York Democrat and I had not spoken recently, perhaps because I neglected to point out in this space that President Bush's use of ''a kinder, gentler nation'' was antedated by five years by Governor Cuomo's hope that the next generation ''will be wiser than we are, kinder, gentler, more caring. . . .''
Even so, he called. I immediately said it was kind and gentle of him to do so, and the Governor generously forgave my non-notice of his previous usage.
''I never mind when the President uses my stuff,'' Governor Cuomo said. ''He lifts quotes, too. You hear him say the other day that 'Most of life, as Woody Allen says, is just a matter of showing up'? I must have used that 40 times in the past few years. I think the Republicans have a plant in my office.'' (What Mr. Bush said was ''It's what Woody Allen said - 90 percent of life is just showing up.'' Presumably, the President's writers took this from ''In Search of Excellence,'' the 1982 best seller by Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman Jr., which quoted Mr. Allen as having said, ''Eighty percent of success is showing up.'' I have written to Mr. Allen about this quotation, which bids fair to immortalize him if we can just get the percentages straight.) Enough of this sparring; was I talking to >Marry-o or >Mahr-ee-oh or >Mahr-yo?
''Look, I know how to pronounce the name in Italian.'' He proceeded to do so, opening the >a, rolling, almost trilling, the >r, eliding the sounds of >ee and >oh into a richly Mediterranean >eeyoh of about a syllable-and-a-half. He followed it with a lilting >Cuomo that conjured to the listener all the delight of linguini al dente with white clam sauce.
This man grew up in an Italian-speaking household. Why, then, the Anglicized >Marry-o?
''>Mahr-yo is an affectation,'' he replied. ''If you are going to use it, you have to go all the way, rolling the >r, and using your hands. Gotta use the hands; it's part of the pronunciation. When we choose to sound Continental, we say >Mahr-yo - you can't see my hands over the phone, but I'm using them - but when we want to be ordinary Americans of Italian descent, it's >Marry-o.''
Expose denied, but the conscious reasoning behind the assertion of the American pronunciation provides a quick insight. Sometimes this language work takes relatively little effort - passing on a note, taking a call, retailing wisdom without attribution. Most of life, as Woody Allen says - or 80 percent or 90 percent or whatever - is just a matter of showing up. Beyond and Above
THE ''BEYOND CONTAIN-ment'' coinage hunt is happily under way.
President Bush had been searching for a label for his foreign policy. The >Bush Doctrine would not do, because we are pushing Mikhail Gorbachev to repeal the intrusive >Brezhnev Doctrine, and >doctrine is out this year in the phrase-coinage dodge. The White House choice, >Beyond Containment, was enunciated in a speech and repeated in press conferences; its provenance in a 1981 article, boosting on a word made famous in diplomacy by George F. Kennan, was set forth in this space.
Comes now Gloria C. Phares of New York City to report that Robert W. Tucker and William Watts edited a book with that title in 1973. She was about to claim that her husband and fellow lawyer, Richard Dannay, had written his Harvard senior thesis in 1961 using that title, but was compelled to pass on that its bibliography contained a book by William Henry Chamberlin, published in 1953 by Regnery in Chicago, entitled ''Beyond Containment.''
This is not to derogate the choice of Mr. Bush and his speechwriters, or to cast aspersions on their originality; on the contrary, my point is that just about every good combination of words has a history in the language. Who can forget Theodore Parker's ''of the people, by the people, for the people''? Good phrases have resonances and roots, and tracking them back illuminates the trail on which all orators walk. We await a pre-1953 citation.
In an unrelated linguistic development involving President Bush, we have this curious usage: Looking forward to a trip abroad, he began by telling a group of visitors, ''I hope you will find the next couple of hours exciting.'' He then helped make them so with the sort of unconscious slip in speaking that occurs more often than most of us realize: ''And as I look back and sit at the world. . . .''
The word for the affliction of seeing printed words backward is >dyslexia; the tendency to reverse familiar phrases is by no means as serious, but the word for such a tendency awaits coinage (dyspeaksia, flop-flipism). Think and stop about it; we'll have to see and wait. Wanna Buy A Ductile?
YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL when Sahabzada Yaqub-Khan, Foreign Minister of Pakistan, has been in town: the national security establishment and its hangers-on begin dropping unfamiliar English words.
As previously reported here, >feckless is the vogue word in the spookspeakeasies for ''ineffective, helpless''; now the word on everybody's lips in Foggy Bottom is >otiose, ''idle, indolent, lazy.''
I confronted Mr. Yaqub-Khan with this suddenly with-it word and asked if he was the source; he demurred (a verb in diplolingo that means ''denied, purring''), adding, ''Americans are not so ductile.''
O.K., you guys in the interagency task forces working on a succession of summits, this week's adjective is >ductile: ''easily molded; tractable; pliable.'' Any >otiose sherpa who cannot use it in a sentence about arms negotiations is >feckless.

I am in a polyamorous, open relationship with BardicKitten, Cyn (can't find her OkC profile at this time), and Aylias, all of whom I love deeply. If open relationships scare you, then I might not be the guy for you. Otherwise, please read on...
I think that a relationship should be something that grows organically. I tend to start things off casual and easygoing and see where it evolves from there. I find it's not a good idea to try to lump relationships into categories, especially early on - you're still trying to figure out how well you work with each other.
Physical stuff definitely interests me, but I'm certainly open to a relationship evolving beyond that. I'm not looking for a one-night stand, but at the same time I'd be lying if I said that sex wasn't important to me. I believe it's necessary to build the intimacy needed to form a healthy relationship.
In other words, I have no idea where any new relationship will lead. I don't know if it'll be serious and long-term or not. I'm certainly not opposed to it becoming serious. But I do believe that for a relationship to become serious, physical intimacy is a must.
Also, I am a part of the local BDSM community as a Dominant (You can see my Fetlife Profile at https://fetlife.com/users/315363 ). I am capable of being gentle or rough, depending on the needs of my partner. Let me know what you like, and I'll make it my goal to cater to those needs...
As for me in my everyday life? Well, I'm an office worker by day, and to relax I like movies and videogames (but don't play them obsessively), and love to share good ones with someone I think will appreciate them.
I tend to be more of an "indoor" person, although I'm not opposed to the occasional outdoor adventure - I'm not a shut-in, just a homebody. ;-) I've actually planned quite a few really fantastic outdoor excursions, actually. Previously, I've planned outings to view the Perseid meteor shower (a yearly favorite of mine), as well as a trip to Yosemite. And last year BardicKitten and her husband took me fishing for the first time in my life! I didn't catch anything… but it was still fun.
However, I'm even more proud of some of the parties I've planned with BardicKitten. Just off the top of my head, we had an Iron Man party with Martinis and schwarma, a Tron black light party, a fancy French seven-course meal for a group of close friends, and a Lord of the Rings marathon with three full meals throughout the day. Suffice it to say, the parties we've thrown have been some of the best parties I've ever been to.
As for politics, I'm politically liberal, and try to follow politics fairly closely. I'm not thrilled with everything Obama has done during his term, but I think overall he's been a pretty good president, especially given the sort of opposition he's been facing.
I believe in gender and racial equality, as well as the equal treatment for LGBT folks. I also believe in equality for poly and BDSM relationships, but that's a bit more complicated and something our culture is farther away from in terms of mass acceptance.
Religiously, I'm an agnostic, which I firmly feel is different than being atheist, and not just "indecisive" as a lot of people seem to think.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, I have a knack for throwing spectacular parties.
I suppose I should also mention, I've been told by multiple people that I'm particularly good at fingering. If that's the sort of thing that interests you...
I love recommending great movies to someone who's never seen them before - let me know what type of movies you like and we'll see if I can find something you haven't seen before that you'll love. Even better if we can watch it together!
As for books, there's no one specific genre that I read, although I do have quite a lot of fantasy novels (Terry Pratchett in particular). But I also enjoy the Sherlock Holmes novels and the Harry Potter books, and probably my three favorite books of all time are To Kill a Mockingbird, Huckleberry Finn and Ender's Game.
I should also note that I am a huge fan of a few web fictions - notably, Worm and Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. For those not familiar, Worm is a story about a bullied girl who gets superpowers (and gradually becomes much, much more), and Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a fanfic that proves that not all fanfics are crap - this one asks the question "What if Harry Potter was raised as a firm believer in rational logic and the scientific method?".
I love pretty much any videogame that's good, though Rock Band is a favorite I often come back to (I suck at it, but who cares? It's fun!). Even if you don't play videogames, I'd still love you to grab a microphone and sing while I jam on the plastic axe. As for other games I've liked lately, the big ones that come to mind are Pokemon, Minecraft, and Smash Bros. (I can play most characters, but do especially well with Ike in Brawl and Rosalina in Smash 4). I also enjoy card and board games, particularly Settlers of Catan and Dominion. I used to be big into Magic: The Gathering, but I haven't played in a long time.
As for food, my tastes are varied, though you can't go wrong with Italian food. I also love sushi, Mongolian BBQ, and Korean BBQ. As it happens, I know quite a few good restaurants around town, so I'd love to hear your favorite type of food. I also have a few good recipes that I think are pretty impressive, and even though I'm no professional cook, you may be able to convince me to cook you something nice sometime...
In particular, I'd love to hear from a girl who's a sub, or who is interested in exploring her submissive side. However, this isn't a requirement.
Other traits I value in a girl include honesty, openness, an ability to communicate, emotional maturity, patience, attentiveness, and... well, frankly, an active sex drive. I want someone who is capable of surprising me every now and then, reminding me that she's not just following my lead, but someone who's always thinking of new and creative ways to show me she's just as interested in making me happy as I am in making her happy (and I am *very* interested in making any girl I'm with happy).

When writing an argument essay, it would not be wise to completely neglect the other side or counter-side of the controversy which you are addressing as the main topic of your essay as it gives a negative impact as if you have not done enough research. That being said, you must choose strongest of your points in an argument essay to make your case. In the end, do not forget to proof-read.
Argument Essay Topics

Another worth remembering aspect about argument essays is that you should try to delve and dig deeper. Do not forget to revise the paper you have written and also check for grammatical and spelling mistakes.
Writing Argumentative Essays
Argumentative essays are usually part of the 'writing and communication' course in almost all colleges and therefore students should be prepared to undertake such assignments. Writing argumentative essays is all about formulating strong arguments in the favor of the stance you are taking and at the same time opposing the counter arguments.

The basic purpose of this article is to inform the students of different prompts as they are very essential in writing different types of essays.
Essay Writers
We addressed various issues concerning essay writing and essay writers in this article.

Your grade depends on your essay and you should make sure that it is well-written.
Different Essay Formats
The article discusses the one example and two example essay format in detail and also suggests few things to students in writing these essays. Just to reiterate, it would not be a good idea to come up with examples rather it is best to be natural and spontaneous in your essay. Similarly, students should avoid the subject of politics in writing such formal essays.
Argumentative Essay Format
Writing an argumentative essay could prove to be very interesting if you have done extensive research on the topic and you are aware of the general argumentative essay format.

Outline Writing
When we talk about writing a persuasive essay, the basic objective is to polish your writing skills and improve the art of persuasion. The latter can only be done when you address the opposing arguments and try to prove that they are wrong.

Expository Essay Format
Writing an expository essay is not so difficult especially if you are aware of the general format. So before you jump on searching about the topic it would be better to first find out what essay structure you are supposed to follow.

Essay Structures
Students are often asked to write essays so that they are able to improve their writing skills which would later help them in the job market. Obviously, not all types of essays are written in the same style but the structure of almost all essays are same. You start by introducing the topic and then you move on the main content of the article. So, what are you waiting for? Begin your essay now by writing a killer introduction.
Argumentative Essay
There is no pre-defined argumentative essay structure which every student needs to follow but nonetheless it is wise to stick with the five paragraph structure since it encompasses all the aspects of an excellent argumentative essay. The key to writing a good argumentative essay is extensive research. When writing persuasive essay, it would be wise to quote only reliable sources in your argumentative essay structure. So, what are you waiting for? Start doing research now to write a good essay and do not stick only to Google.

There is a basic structure which you need to follow in writing this essay and the task of writing it becomes very easy.
Expository Essay Structure
Writing an expository essay could become a challenging task if you are new to writing essays and do not know where to begin.

REVIEW: "Malicious Mobile Code", Roger A. Grimes

%T "Malicious Mobile Code: Virus Protection for Windows"
I have to admit to a very definite bias. My co-authors and I have
just finished a book that attempts to provide up to date virus
protection information to sysadmins. As I understand it, ours will be
printed about three weeks after this one.
I also have a problem with the title. Grimes appears to be trying to
carve himself out a niche by promoting a term that nobody else is
currently using. And the subtitle should more properly be, "Risk
Mitigation for Microsoft Software." However, if you are using
Windows, there is a good deal of information is this book that, with
some diligience and additional work on your part, can help improve
your security.
Grimes starts off the book by listing some fallacies that we have
always believed. "You can't get a virus by simply reading an email."
(OK, Microsoft has amply demonstrated that they've added virus
capabilities to their mail software.) "Malicious code can't harm
hardware." (Well, quibbles about terminology aside, it usually
can't.) "A virus can't hide from a booted write-protected diskette."
(Ummm, I'm not sure that sentence even *means* anything.)
Melissa and the Love Bug were serious nuisances, and even worse, but
is it really accurate to say that they shut down tens of thousands of
This book is intended for intermediate and advanced users and system
administrators, and addresses only the Microsoft Windows operating
systems. While I would agree that Windows is the system most in need
of virus protection and help, this focus does limit the audience.
Grimes also tries to avoid the virus/worm/replicating trojan argument
with the use of the term malicious mobile code, and states that the
book does not deal with attacks and security holes, but the coverage
of trojans, RATs (Remote Access/Administration Trojans/Tools), and
browser attacks seems to contradict that position. (In fact, the more
detailed description of "malicious mobile code," and the MMC acronym
that Grimes creates, seems to be amply covered under the more commonly
used term malware.)
Chapter one provides a very brief outline of some malware related
concepts. Most of the chapter concentrates on the virus writing
community, although only in a superficial way. Grimes obviously feels
sympathetic towards virus writers, and presents their own stories
without criticism or analysis. Some details of the MS-DOS operating
system, as well as basic virus technologies, are given in chapter two.
The programming particulars, and a bit of virus source code, are
likely to be of more help to budding virus writers than to the
defending sysadmins. There are copious errors in the information
listed about specific viruses. Sometimes the material is careless,
such as the assertion that Michelangelo formats hard drives (the
original version overwrites sections of the disk, and only the disk
booted from on the trigger date). In other places the wording is
slipshod, such as the implication that a seldom seen screen artifact
of the Jerusalem virus is somehow responsible for file deletion.
(Oddly, while Grimes does not appear to have done serious research he
has obviously read my stuff at some point: one of the examples is
taken almost word for word from my writings. Other passages
originating in my work are recognizable, although not quite as
blatant.) The recovery advice is also suspect: he reiterates the
rather dangerous suggestions to format the disk or use FDISK /MBR.
Some very useful information about Windows, particularly the 9x, NT,
and higher versions, is presented in chapter three. The material does
not often deal with malware as such, and, in a number of cases,
details are either too particular or not specific enough. A few
"native" Windows viruses are described in chapter four, along with
some useful general security and recovery tips. Unfortunately, the
virus detection and recovery tips are derivative, vague, and not
always comprehensive. Chapter five has explanations of the VBA
(Visual Basic for Applications) macro system in Microsoft Office
applications, and lists some common macro viruses.
Chapter six lumps trojans, worms, backdoors, and DDoS (Distributed
Denial of Service) packages together in a somewhat confusing manner.
One useful inclusion in the material is a list of RAT utilized port
numbers. The invention of real-time conferencing, or instant
messaging, appears to be credited to AOL, in chapter seven, although
various forms existed long before AOL's existence. All forms of chat
or messaging seem to be lumped together in the chapter, although it
concentrates on the technology and examples from IRC (Internet Relay
Chapter eight contains a reasonable overview of Web browser
technologies, although Grimes makes the usual mistakes, such as
confusing Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (S-HTTP) with the https
protocol specifier actually used by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). A
number of old program bugs and exploits are described in chapter nine.
Most relate to browsers, although some depend on HTML enabled mail
clients. The preventive measures listed, however, deal strictly with
the settings on recent versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and
do not mention other browsers at all. Since Java applet bugs and
exploits have been confined to implementation errors, it is difficult
to understand why chapter ten was included in the book. Again, some
older exploits are described, and there is a bit of confusion in the
text between the applet sandbox model and the full Java security
model. Chapter eleven examines the possibility of the malicious
misuses of the ActiveX system, but first it spends a lot of time and
space presenting the one security aspect of ActiveX: digital
signatures. By doing so, Grimes is giving Microsoft way more than the
benefit of the doubt. The text does, eventually, get around to
pointing out some of the flaws in the Authenticode system, but the
structure of the chapter works to downplay the dangers.
In chapter twelve, the Microsoft chauvinism that has been evident in
prior sections ramps up to full throttle. Grimes states that it isn't
just Outlook that can be exploited for email viruses, any mail client
could be so abused. (He later has to tacitly admit that almost no
other email client has been so utilized, and none to the same extent.)
There is even a paean of praise to Windows Script Host, the
application that made the Love Bug possible. The material on virus
hoaxes, in chapter thirteen, is a bit of a mix, but does have a good
list of signs to watch for. Defence consists mainly of a generic
security planning process and a reasonable, though brief, outline of
the types of antiviral software, in chapter fourteen. Chapter fifteen
finishes off with the usual look to the future.
Overall, the content is wide-ranging, but not complete. There is
coverage of a broader range of topics than was the case with other
recent books, such as Dunham (cf. BKBVRTPR.RVW) and Schmauder (cf.
BKVRSPRF.RVW). However, depth of research and understanding of the
problem is not in evidence. The material is very questionable in view
of the number of errors Grimes makes in his retailing of details of
specific viruses.
While some support and background content is included, the book is
written in a very field independent style: at the end of the chapter
you are simply supposed to do what Grimes tells you to, and believe
what he says.
There is virus code in the book. Not extensively, perhaps, but it is
there. Grimes justifies its presence by saying that it is not code
for an entire virus, and that he has made changes to disable it in any
case. Unfortunately, it is real code, for some important sections of
viruses, and the missing and changed bits aren't all that hard to
spot. While it would not allow wannabe vxers to compile a complete
virus right off the page, it would help any semi-competent code dweeb
write a more functional virus. And, all protestations
notwithstanding, it doesn't provide any help to the user or network
Aside from problems with the content, Grimes' organization and writing
is careless and difficult to understand. The chapters address
individual topics, and have a standard structure, but the structure is
only a template. Within each topic the flow of sections and even
paragraphs does not always course logically. The illustrations and
figures are not very informative.
This is not a good book on viruses or malware. The breadth of
coverage and detailed content on macro and email virus technology does
save it from being really awful: up to the summer of 2001 no other
book has dealt with those topics in sufficient depth. And the
MS-centrism does have one very positive advantage. If you absolutely
must use Microsoft software and applications, the prevention sections
