text: WORD PROBLEMS IN ALGEBRA D=r•t PROBLEMS General Description: Two objects travel toward or away from each other. Key to solving: Distances are added together to get total distance Examples: The distance between towns A and N is 750 kilometers. If a passenger train leaves town A traveling toward town B at 90 kph while at the same time a freight train leaves town B traveling towards town A at 35 kph, how long will it take the two trains to meet? Two cars leave Chicago at the same time and travel in opposite directions. If one travels at 62mph and the other at 88kph, how long will it take them to be 450 miles apart? D=r•t PROBLEMS General Description: Two objects leave the same place and travel in the same direction. They leave at different times. Find when the two objects meet. Key to solving: For an object to catch up, the distances must be equal. Set the distances or r•t part of the equation equal to each other and solve. Times are different and must be expressed as t for one object and t plus or minus the difference in travel time for the other object. Examples: A car leaves a city traveling at 60 kph. How long will it take a second car traveling at 80 kph to catch up to the first car if it leaves two hours later? Students are traveling in two cars to a football game 150 miles away. The first car leaves on time and travels at an average speed of 48 mph. The second car starts ½ hour later and travels at an average speed of 58 mph. At these speeds, how long will it take the second car to catch up with the first car? MIXTURE PROBLEMS: General Description: Two liquids are mixed each composed of a set percentage of some other liquid. When mixed, they form a new percentage of the other liquid. Key to solving: Add together to total amount of the other liquid in each mixture to find the total amount of the other liquid in the final mixture. Examples: A pharmacist needs to strengthen a 20% alcohol solution so that it contains 36% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 240 ml of the 20% solution? Lynn's Dairy mixed two grades of milk to obtain 150 gallons of a 1% butterfat mixture(new lowfat). One milk contains 0% butterfat(nonfat) while the other contains 4% butterfat(whole milk). How many gallons of each kind were used in the mixture? MIXTURE PROBLEMS: General Description: Two kinds of dry objects selling for different amounts are mixed together and sold for a new amount. Key to solving: Add together the total cost for each object to obtain the total cost for the mixture. Examples: A grocer mixes two kinds of nuts costing $3.88 per pound and $4.88 per pound to make 100 pounds of a mixture costing $4.33 per pound. How many pounds of each kind of nut were put in the mixture? A floral shop creates a mixed arrangement of roses at a cost of $1.25 each and carnations costing $0.75 each. An arrangement of 1 dozen flowers costs $11.00. Determine the number of roses per dozen flowers in the arrangement. WORK PROBLEMS: General Description: Two objects perform a job at different rates. How long does it take them to perform the job working together? Key to solving: The rate of each object can be found by dividing the number of jobs by the number of hours to find how much of the job can be completed in 1 hour (the rate). The two totals (amount•rate) are then added together and set equal to the total number of jobs completed. Examples: Machine A can produce 2000 pounds of paper in 4 hours. Machine B is newer and faster and can produce 2000 pounds of paper in 2 ½ hours. How long will It take the two machines working together to produce 2000 pounds of paper? Suppose you can mow a lawn in 3 hours and your friend can mow it in 4 hours. How long will it take both of you to mow the lawn together?

In a classic 71-minute encounter, Lee recovered from a terrible start to triumph 4-21 23-21 25-23.
The victory was revenge for Lee who has a modest record against Lin and most notably lost to him in the final of the All England championships in Birmingham in 2006.
There was also a surprise in the women's singles final where unseeded Zhou Mi from Hong Kong ousted third seed Lu Lan of China 21-18 15-21 21-15 in a match lasting just under an hour.
The Korean tournament was the second in this year's 12-strong Super Series. The next event is the All England in March and the Series finals are in December.

The turtle that was left behind
Date: April 4, 2012
by: Observer Staff
Mote's Sea Turtle Rehabilitation Hospital received a patient unlike any it has ever helped. Stanley, the 3.5-inch-long turtle, was rescued from a canal in Marco Island. Typically, a turtle at this stage in life would be found far offshore, but Stanley was left behind for some reason. The turtle caretakers will continue caring for Stanley until he can be released.

Welcome to one of the Christ Follower sites. The sites are relaunching with a broader focus. For technical notes and disclaimers, click here.
Are you ready to go down the rabbit hole? To visit a surreal world, where black is white and white is carrots?
These sites started out as part of an odd situation. A friend, Metacognician in Shanghai, describes the situation as follows: "Life is more absurd than movies. I've gone down the rabbit hole too, when it just becomes more and more strange and you wonder how that all is supposed to make sense." I asked him if I should just embrace it. He answered, "Why should you ... change the universe?"
James Kiraly is my father. He's in poor health but is obsessive compulsive. So, since December 2011, he's poured time and effort into something he sees as important: stopping a book by his son that he's afraid will mention him.
James took the unusual step of using a legal procedure intended to protect battered women to go after the author: Robert Crowley, myself, also known as Robert Kiraly, OldCoder, and BoldCoder. Every significant claim that James made was a misrepresentation or a lie but this wasn't seen as important. As the former Vice President of Transamerica Corporation, he had the resources to do as he wished.
James Kiraly was joined by Thomas Kiraly, one of my brothers. Thomas is both Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sheridan Healthcare. Former Vice President of Humana Corporation.
Kenneth Kiraly, another brother and one of the architects of the Amazon Kindle, was also involved.
Copies of sites
The Kiralys have tried to take down the sites before and they may try it again. As a safety measure, the domains and mirror copies are being given away. The sites now belong to the world.
Here's a link to a ZIP file that contains a copy of the main Christ Follower site. It may be out of date but feel free to download the ZIP file and pass it around. The file is about 135MB in size.
People who are able to contact the new domain managers, including Metacognician, Kappelin, and Tactician, may request one of the domains as well.^ TOP

Message for Michael Bonetto and John Perrott
Tags: cases kiraly
141107. This is a transcript of a message that has been provided to Michael Bonetto of Hoge Fenton and John Perrott of Thomas Chase Stutzman. The message has been and/or will be copied to additional parties.
The Attorneys referred to the message include:
Michael T. Bonetto
Chase Stutzman
John H. Perrott
This is for Michael Bonetto of Hoge Fenton and John Perrott of Thomas Chase Stutzman. A transcript will be posted at michael bonetto dot com.
I'm occupied with practical matters, but I've found my bearings. The most important part is to understand what things are.
When the Kiraly cases hit, I was more than taken aback; I was nearly killed. But I've had time, 2.5 years now, to gain perspective and to evolve.
To some extent, things are what they are presented as and therefore perceived as. Individuals usually are not concerned about facts. Positioning is key. This is a lesson that every attorney is taught.
But the reality of things is there and, in the end, it is the bedrock. To put it another way, the two of you are what you are and have done what you have done.
Michael, you took a violent abuser as a client and sought, not legitimate protection for your client, but a gag order designed to prevent discussion of his actions. You violated professional standards that your own firm had written. And you committed or became involved with multiple prosecutable crimes.
Note: The abuser was Jim Kiraly, also known as James Kiraly, Vice President of Transmerica Corporation, past resident of 217 Gerry Court, Walnut Creek, California, and 32 La Gaviota, Pismo Beach California, husband of Grace Kiraly, past resident of the same addresses.
John, you work for Tom Stutzman, a man who is apparently a sexual predator. Your own competence and ethics are past being in question. You not only steal from clients, you have a polished system for doing so.
These points are clear. But, the question is, how should Society view the matter?
My sense is that it's possible to find out. Here's the thing... in America, faded though civil liberties may be, there is little that the two of you, or your firms, can do to erase your footsteps.
This is the part that had me scratching my head in 2012. I didn't understand at the time what the Kiralys were hoping for. Did the abuser Jim Kiraly and his Son Tom Kiraly, now apparently VP of Hanger Inc., expect actual crimes to simply evaporate and disappear?
I wanted you to know that I'm past that confusion. As a related note, I've been quite busy, but I'll have some related questions for you before the end of the year.

Fight NSA Today We Say
Tags: civil liberties nsa
141107. Twisted Time, DNA the attorney, and I are hardly wild-eyed youths marching in the streets.
DNA is 83 years old. You can see videos of him at this link. Twisted Time is a quadriplegic in his 50s. And I'm a tired Old Coder busy fighting off attempts by the abuser Jim Kiraly of St. John's Lutheran Church to take down these sites.
We agree, though, and feel strongly, that the NSA is part of the end of the America that we were taught about as children. An America that had never truly existed but that was possible; a land where people could, at last, be free.
It's not a partisan issue. Both Bush and Obama have sought, quietly, to phase in something that needs to be stopped. People old and young, across the political spectrum, are coming to understand this.
Some steps related to the NSA will turn out to be pointless gestures. Others may have a practical effect. One step that I recommend is to look into secure communications and to promote ones that work as much as possible.
Presently, I'm evaluating Tox, a free replacement for Skype that's intended to frustrate the NSA. I haven't formed an opinion yet, but Tox looks promising so far.
If you'd like to see America become the free nation that it was meant to be, regardless of your political affiliation, try out Tox, provide the developers with feedback, and do what you can to stop the NSA. For more information about Tox, click here.
If you know people who know me, you can, of course, chat with me
on Tox. As a related note, we'd like to encourage
Snowden to install a copy. There are people waiting to help
this true American hero.

Minetest is Best
Tags: minetest
141107. I don't have many amusements. No Time or money for fun.
Jim Kiraly, the abuser at 32 La Gaviota, Pismo Beach, California. Tom Kiraly, VP of Hanger Inc. Grace Kiraly, Jim Kiraly's victim and a brittle, self-centered, woman. Ken Kiraly, inventor of the Amazon Kindle.
These people took my life savings, my home of 25 years, everything that I had. My books... they took most of my books. Even the ones that Ivan had loved.
Not much left. But I'll find the way back.
The focus, day to day, is on not being homeless. But I've set aside Time for Minetest.
I stumbled into Minetest by accident, in 2012, while looking for work. There I met Chaos, Vanessa, Mr. Meow, Celeron55, and others.
Chaos, a roleplayer or an actual AI, chewed up my Time. The kids were unpredictable. And the worlds needed effort and more Time. Time, something that I'd run out of.
I never regretted a moment of it.
The Kiraly Cases shattered me. The fact that wealthy people could commit felonies, but that wealth trumped all... the boy had known this fact, but the man had never confronted it.
I lost everything. But it gave me a chance to rewrite myself, to become somebody new. Somebody who knows what is right. And what needs to be done.
Minetest, a simple but fun game, was part of this.
In October 2014, oOChainLynxOo asked me to rescue Redcrab World, which was dying. Note: For Mr. Chain's Minetest videos, click here.
I agreed to fork Redcrab World in exchange for a photo of one of Mr. Chain's cats. The result was Silvercrab World. Some Silvercrab screenshots are presented below.
This led to new worlds being launched. Details as Time permits. For today, here's what I heard when I eavesdropped on Openmine World the other day:

141018 Saturday — Ken Kiraly Birthday Today Hooray
Tags: birthday ken kiraly
141018. Today, October 18, 2014, is Ken Kiraly's 51st birthday.
Ken Kiraly is a number of things. Father to two fine young men, James and Paul. Husband to a rising political star, Virginia Chang Kiraly. Inventor of the Amazon Kindle. Lead at Amazon Lab126. "Meek genius", as the Kiraly Family DDOSer in Dallas, Texas, likes to call him. Abuse victim. Sociopath.
And my little Brother. The baby who I taught to walk. The boy who I smashed my right hand, in desperation, to protect. The young man who I taught to drive a car. The Coder who obtained his first job from me and who lived rent-free with me for years.
Last year, on the occasion of Ken Kiraly's 50th birthday, I offered him useful thoughts from others. If you'd like to read the pieces in question, click here.
This year, as it happens, I was in Silicon Valley a few days ago. I planned to visit DNA the elderly attorney, his wife RNA, Josef, and other associates. I thought I'd stop by Sequoia High School as well to inquire regarding purchases, for legitimate and reasonable purposes, of past school yearbooks.
The visit to the High School proved to be unnecessary as yearbooks can apparently be purchased from publishers. So I took care of lesser errands and headed for DNA's residence.
On the way, I passed a little florist shop that I'd used before. Numerous relatives or associates had needed flowers in the 1990s, due to their deaths or other occurrences. This shop had proved to be a reliable resource on such occasions.
This was the place that I'd used to send flowers to the funeral of my Grandfather Ivan Kmeta in 1997. Grace Kiraly, Ivan's daughter, attended the funeral. I felt too strongly about Ivan's death to do so. So I sent flowers in my place.
Grace, like all of the Kiralys, is odd. Imagine her as a brittle Stockholm Syndrome victim crossed with a pretend Christian and with a heartless b*tch thrown into the mix.
Grace lectured me about the fact that she was embarrassed at Ivan's funeral by my absence. Flowers, which I'd chosen carefully to represent not only me, but my feelings, were not enough to make Grace look good.
For my part, I was satisfied that I'd done what was possible during the last 10 years of Ivan's life to ensure that he felt respected, useful, and loved.
For a large version of the Grace Kiraly photo, click here.
Tom Kiraly, Vice President of Humana Corporation, Sheridan Healthcare, and apparently another corporation now, did attend Ivan Kmeta's funeral.
This was nice of Tom. Of course, Tom had rarely visited or called Ivan while Ivan was alive. And, in 2012, Tom initiated legal actions against me to prevent public discussion of abuse. In the legal actions, Tom claimed that Ivan's books of religious poetry were, in a manner that was never specified, physical violence.
As a note to attorneys, this was a nutty move on the part of Tom's attorney, Michael Bonetto of Hoge Fenton.
Ivan Kmeta wouldn't have hated Tom Kiraly for trying to turn a lifetime of literary work into sh*t. However, he'd probably have preferred flowers.
The Kiralys are twisted. It goes back to the abuse. The abuse that they're fighting to cover up.
But this didn't seem important the other day. It was Ken Kiraly's birthday. A positive and friendly message needed to be sent.
As I considered the matter, I recalled that flowers are symbols. Something we use that animals do not. Tangible objects that represent intangible thoughts.
I'd prepared a birthday greeting for Ken. Overcome with positive feelings, I decided to send the greeting to Ken with flowers.
I needed the right type. I chose white roses, a dozen, a selection that I'd been told represented friendship.
The flowers are presented below along with the birthday greeting that was sent with them:
This is what I'd like to say
Flowers denote kindness and friendship
On this occasion special
Ken Kiraly's abuser, Jim Kiraly of Transamerica Corporation, St. John's Lutheran, and New Life Pismo Church, is believed either to live in this house or to have lived in it in the past.
What do Jim Kiraly's neighbors, or former neighbors, think of his past? Where do his fellow churchgoers stand on issues such as abuse, perjury, and felony DDOS? What does the fact that Jim Kiraly's wealth has allowed him to escape prosecution say about the system in which we live?
These and other questions are a suitable subject for legitimate and reasonable research and First Amendment discussion. By the way, attorneys and other parties who may be interested, click here.
141001 Wednesday —
Grace Kiraly Birthday
Tags: grace kiraly birthday
141001. Today is Grace Kiraly's Birthday.
Some of my records are lost due to the Kiraly Cases. So I don't know exactly how old this woman is. But I figure that she is now about 81 years old.
I've talked about Grace's life before. However, this is a special occasion, so I'll summarize events for new readers.
Grace was born, in Canada, to Ivan Kmeta and Olga Kerechanko.
Ivan had been a teacher. To read his story, click here. Olga was the sister of Edward Kerechanko, who had been one of Ivan's students as a boy.
Edward later became the Father of George Kerechanko, whose neighborhood is shown further down, and the Grandfather of Russell Kerechanko, whose death led to felonies committed by the Kiralys; specifically, attempts to DDOS these websites.
When Grace Kiraly was a young woman, she had a romance with William Kiraly, who I believe later became one of Ronald Reagan's Star Wars engineers.
William and Grace seem to have had unprotected sex. It's possible that there was a baby, and that Grace's Brother Anatol took Grace to have it aborted. The timeline for one hospital visit tends to support the story. However, the only person who'd be able to confirm the facts, Anatol, died of cancer two decades ago.
William passed Grace along to his Brother, Jim Kiraly. Grace preferred Jim to William because Jim was good sexually and seemed to be a stable businessman. So she married him. But Jim turned out to be mentally ill and abusive.
The marriage was unpleasant for Grace Kiraly. She left Jim once, ordered him to leave once, and asked me for advice about leaving him as late as the 1980s, between her 25th and 30th wedding anniversaries.
But, at the same time, as they aged, Jim Kiraly and Grace Kiraly gradually bonded. And, over the same period, Grace came to see the abuse of women and children as a normal state of affairs or even as desirable. In the end, she descended into a state of pure denial.
One problem with this is that Grace was led to embrace the perjury that Jim Kiraly, her abuser and mine, committed in 2012. By this point, she couldn't do anything else. She'd lost the ability to think critically or independently.
The notion that there was such a thing as reality, as anything but working backwards from desired conclusions, was gone.
Grace had driven 200 miles at the start of 2012 to visit me unannounced. We ate at the Olive Garden, a comfort food restaurant. In the months that followed, Grace phoned me repeatedly to lecture me regarding the merits of Vitamin C.
When my abuser, Jim Kiraly of 32 La Gaviota, Pismo Beach, California, came after me to stop my book, he tried to use an emergency anti-violence measure known as CLETS.
There were complications for Jim. For example, I produced an unexpected witness connected to abuse by Jim, Jim had never even asked me not to communicate with him, I lived 200 miles from Jim, I was in a wheelchair at the time, and my right hand didn't work.
And there was the awkward fact that Grace had come to visit me.
The legal actions suggested that Grace had been terrified of me on the day that she drove 200 miles to see me. And Jim claimed that I was making unwanted phone calls to Grace during this period, when every call during this period was from Grace to me.
Grace was fine with all of this.
When Christ contemplates the nature of the lies, an abuser trying to misuse measures designed to protect abused woman and children, He pauses, He shudders, and Holy Puke spews forth.
The Holy Puke washes over my Mother's soul.
Grace Kiraly's soul delights as it dissolves and slides down into its appointed place. For what Grace Kiraly perceives as she wanders there in a state of mindless joy, the ecstasies that she experiences, see the repost that is included below this retrospective.
Actually, Grace Kiraly was mindless all along.
I remember talking to Grace Kiraly about South American death squads, the ones that used to line up children and pregnant women and shoot them.
I think that I'd been moved by the story of one young girl, who recognized one of the men who'd come to kill her. The girl offered him her sweater and asked for it to be passed on as a gift to a friend. Then she was shot dead.
Grace Kiraly was more interested in the dangers of "secular humanism" than in the murder of children. She commented, "Oh, Bob, you just don't want anyone to be hurt."
The incident that defined Grace Kiraly for me, though, had to do with her Brother Anatol. Anatol and Grace hadn't been close when they were young. They'd become friends in adulthood. But then Anatol became sick with the same condition that I have. His body became twisted as mine has started to twist.
Grace told me, "I didn't really like Anatol after that. He was misshapen and couldn't walk. He wasn't the brother I'd known."
I have a theory related to what we are and to what Christ values. It's a form of Calvinism. Charles Artisan, who has met God face to face, has told me that he's intrigued by the theory. Note: For the story of Charles's meeting with God, click here.
If there's a supernatural force that assesses us, it's a Farmer, who's scattered the seeds of Life and watches to see what grows that is useful.
Words mouthed by the sanctimonious are noise. It's the qualities that are possessed that are weighed. The ability to perceive reality, I think, to be altruistic, truly so, to love that which is different, and to be useful.
Grace Kiraly is no more significant to Christ or to Lucifer than a moo-cow is to us. But she does serve a purpose.
There are two Songs. I believe that the Songs define what there is. I know which Song I belong to. And which one my Mother, bless her bovine soul, inhabits.

Pismo Beach has a great tourist section, packed with restaurants and shops. For a large copy of the photo, click here.
The Splash Cafe, a venerable Pismo Beach eatery, has eccentric clam-related paintings on one wall.
Pismo Beach isn't a vegetarian mecca. Plenty of meat to eat. And, unsurprisingly, there's a couple of nice beaches near the tourist section.
This is the Welcome sign for St. Johns Lutheran, one of my abuser Jim Kiraly's churches, and the offices inside the church. Jim is believed to have taught classes here; classes in which he may have been around young people.
St. Johns is located in Arroyo Grande, a small town near Pismo Beach.
They say that "a church is a hospital for sinners and not a museum for saints". But what's the role of an unrepentant abuser and perjurer in a church that is "Christ Driven" ? How should a victim approach the church? What's the right thing to say?
This is the Welcome sign for New Life Pismo Church, another church attended by the abuser Jim Kiraly. This might be the church where Grace Kiraly picked up the phrase "Christ Follower".
I had a phone interview with the Pastor of this Church in Spring 2012. It was scheduled over a week in advance with Grace Kiraly's permission. We talked about God. Jim Kiraly was enraged because he thought I'd mentioned the abuse. So he fought for a year to get me to agree to a gag order.
I never agreed to the gag order. And now, ironically, for legitimate and reasonable purposes, I contact churchgoers in cities around the world to discuss how a violent abuser and perjurer, Jim Kiraly of 32 La Gaviota, Pismo Beach, used his wealth to disrupt his victim's life but failed at a cover-up.
In 2015, I hope to expand the snail-mail campaign. If you'd like to help to spread the story, feel free to contact me.

Grace Kiraly lives within a reasonable distance of her cousin George Kerechanko. This is a house in George's neighborhood. I'm not sure if it's George's house or not.
The death of George's Son Russell Kerechanko in 2013, reportedly from a drug overdose, led to a new phase in the Kiraly Cases; one in which the Kiraly Family became involved in highly prosecutable felonies, violations of CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act), as they sought to DDOS these websites.

141001 Wednesday — Grace Birthday Celebration Continues
Tags: birthday grace kiraly
141001. This is a repost of the 2013 Grace Kiraly Birthday piece. Presented with apologies to William Wordsworth.
Did you know... Lucifer has both male and female aspects. It's surprising, but it's true :P
The male side of Lucifer is the active one... the side that manifests hatred and violence. The female side of Lucifer is passive and receptive. But what is the female side of Lucifer receptive to?
Lucifer is composed, as people are, of cells. Each cell is a soul. The soul of a human being. On the female side, Grace Kiraly's soul is such a cell. Her soul serves a purpose.
Lies enter Lucifer. The lies brush against the passive side. The passive side responds. My Mother's soul feels the lies... the pleasure that they bring. Grace's soul relaxes. She settles into a serene and blessed mood.
Suspended in falsehood, my Mother drifts to sleep in body and becomes her lying soul. With an eye made quiet by the power of falseness, she sees into the lies of things.
Grace is perplexed with recognitions. But the recognitions grow dim and faint. The picture of the mind's eye revives. There is not only a sense of pleasant pleasure but pleasing thoughts... thoughts that in this moment there are lies and a mood.
This is all that is needed for future years. My Mother flies from the truth that she dreads into the fog of illusion that she loves.
It will be Grace's privilege, through the years remaining of this her life, to lead from lie to lie; for she can so inform the mind that is that is within her, so impress with the quietness and beauty of the lies, and so feed with lofty thoughts, that neither the truth, God's Judgment, nor the prayers of those in the corporeal world, shall e'er prevail against the lies or disturb her cheerful hatred.
The moon of a different plane shines on my Mother's soul as it wanders inside Lucifer. The misty mountain winds blow against Grace. She shudders at the sensations. Wild ecstasies mature into sober and ever deeper pleasures.
Memory becomes a mansion. A mansion for lovely forms of fantasies. No solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief is my Mother's portion. With what healing lies of tender joy will she remember a past that never existed.
The pleasure builds until it is unbearable. Grace Kiraly's soul bursts into song.
The song increases in intensity and in volume. A thousand souls sing along with Grace's soul... Ten thousand souls... One million souls... Lucifer opens his eyes wide...
Lucifer starts to sing.
Grace Kiraly is part of the song of lies. This is her identity. This is her purpose. The joy of lies washes over my Mother. She is swept away by the joy.
October 1st is my Mother's birthday. The birthday of a cell whose purpose is defined.

Hacker Kids Identity Hids
Tags: humor
140930. Here's one of the hacker kids, Anonymoose Hakr.
This is one of Carrot Cake's friends. As a Hakr, the boy is no Slakr. He's preparing to do a hardware upgrade on one server. I look forward to the benchmarks.
Anonymoose's Grandfather was recently honored for military service during the Korean War. I'd like to extend my congratulations to the man. And my surprise at the thought that I'm only a generation younger.

Welcome Back, Old Friend
cases kiraly
A full Kiraly Cases tags system will be added in 2014.
140823. I have a Mystery Old Friend in Dallas, Texas. Actually, he's a black-hat hacker who violated Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) last year at the Kiraly Family's request.
This happened after my abuser, Jim Kiraly of St. John's Lutheran Church, used black-hat hacking accusations against me in an attempt to erase me.
The idea was supposed to be that I'd hacked Jim's Gmail. There were suggestions that I'd hacked Amazon Corporation as well. That part came from Ken Kiraly, my little Brother and the inventor of the Amazon Kindle.
For these people to bring in a black-hat to shut me down... I guess irony is the right word.
If my guesses related to the black-hat's identity are correct, he'll never be arrested, but the situation is likely to be awkward for him.
The newest development is simply that the black-hat or somebody at his location has stopped by. I wanted to say, "Welcome back, Old Friend."
This is a Kiraly Family associate. He's located near 1911 North Lamar St. in Dallas. I was physically close to his building twice last week. I considered stopping by to say hello. However, I didn't have enough time on either occasion.
This person wrote letters to me in 2013. He used throw-away accounts but I was able to geolocate him through the raw headers and connect him to a DDOSer at the North Lamar St. address.
In the letters, the DDOSer claimed to be an "Old Friend" of mine from Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, California. To read about the school, click here.
My "Old Friend" passed a threat from the Kiralys to me, in violation of agreements they'd signed, and suggested that if I didn't take down these websites, after I'd lost my life savings fighting to protect them, I'd be "hurt".
I geolocated this person, posted a photo of a building at his address, and, I'm afraid, I mocked him. Here's a repost of the building photo.
The address, again, is 1911 North Lamar St., Dallas, Texas. The person in question may or may not be located in the building, but he's certainly close to it. His current IPV4 is: 22.214.171.124
My "Old Friend" responded to the building photo, the copy posted in 2013, by setting up a botnet with the assistance of Solar VPS.
The head of Solar VPS, Jason Silverglate, is aware of the felony that was committed. Interested parties are free to discuss the matter with Mr. Silverglate. Brandon Hale and Ross Brouse should also be able to comment.
Jason Silverglate, by the way, I hope that you're doing well. :-)
Post continues below the photo.
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. For a large version of the photo below, click here.
For the hackers in the audience, here's how things played out.
I did some forensics with the aid of the hacker kid Shiing Shen. It turned out that the Kiraly Family black-hat was an idiot. He'd located the botnet core within walking distance of his known physical address.
I posted some of his IPV4s publicly. Mysteriously, the botnet shut down shortly afterward. Surely, this was a coincidence. :P
Jim Kiraly's black-hat wrote to me to say that he was exiting the situation. However, he didn't actually leave.
I was in Dallas twice last week. I had a chance to stop by and visit my "Old Friend" in person. No time for it. But the next time I'm in his area, perhaps I'll do so and say, "Howdy, neighbor!"
Actually, I owe this person a debt of gratitude. When he threatened me on behalf of the abuser Jim Kiraly of 32 La Gaviota, Pismo Beach, California, and his Son Tom Kiraly, Vice President of Sheridan Healthcare, and when he DDOSed my networks, he released me from any obligation to honor past "agreements" that my abuser had committed perjury to obtain.
In short, he "redacted" Jim Kiraly and Tom Kiraly for me.
The "agreements" aren't highly important. I wrote the most important parts myself. I managed to get a key handwritten edit accepted as well. More about that when I have time to have my abuser served. Served directly, to be clear. This was the point of the handwritten edit.
But it was nice to have my abuser, Jim Kiraly, who is believed to be around young people at St. John's and New Life Pismo Church, hand me his own roasted ass on a silver platter.
Actually, Jim Kiraly did that as soon as he lied under oath right in the initial pleadings. Tom Kiraly of Humana and Sheridan Healthcare was sort of a fool to go along with it. His fundament is right there on the platter with Jim's, after all.

140822. I was away for a week, adventure to seek.
Last week, Tarzan asked Bedivere to meet him in Mississippi. There was an unspecified problem of some type. Bedivere asked me to go in his place.
So I did.
The trip was rushed.
I found somebody to drive me to the San Francisco airport for a late-night flight. But there were no tickets, so we went back.
Tarzan arranged for a cab to come and get me again, this time for a flight at 6:00am. Two trips to San Francisco in one night.
I got to San Francisco the second time around 4:00am. The ticket didn't work. Tarzan put me on a second flight scheduled for 7:00am. The ticket for that flight didn't work either.
Eventually, I made it to Dallas, Texas. There was a four-hour stopover in that city.
I considered spending the time on North Lamar Street. I might have find out more about the Kiraly Family Hacker who's located in that area. But I was exhausted. So they sent a company jet for me.
There's a photo of me in front of the jet below. The man next to me is Michael, a startuper who sold his company and decided to be a pilot instead.
Post continues below the photo.
There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. For a large version of the photo below, click here.
When we took off, it was a new experience for me. The jet was so small that I could feel it climbing the waves of the air. It was flying as I hadn't experienced it before. I knew, below the level of consciousness, that I was riding a fragile leaf on a breeze that might overturn it.
The pilot put the jet on auto-pilot and turned to face me. We simply talked for most of the flight.
I was taken to Mississippi, where I met Tarzan and the management of a $100M firm.
I can't say much about the week that followed. However, it was interesting.
I didn't get much sleep. I met people who were passionate about their firm, who wanted to do what was right by it. We talked about the nature of the company, the way that things were organized.
Before much time had passed, the patterns were clear. Changes were advisable.
In the end, I wrote a 15-page report. The Board members that we talked to seemed to find it satisfactory. One of them, who had a Masters degree in writing, told me that I was good at this sort of thing.
The Masked Lua lives only a few hundred miles away from the company. Upon my departure, I went to his city. We met in ordinary places, McDonalds and Chilis, and talked face to face. IRC and IRL became IRLC once again.
After the meeting, I ate Memphis BBQ and did a little sight-seeing in Tennessee. Finally, I flew back to San Francisco, on an ordinary commercial flight this time.
Both California and Mississippi have crickets, frogs, and mantises. The difference is that Mississippi has them in the cities; there's more Nature about. This little fellow rode on the roof of our car. He was determined enough that he didn't blow away. For a large version of the photo below, click here.
I visited Tennessee, a U.S. State located next to Mississippi, briefly before returning to California. Elvis Presley, a U.S. singer of the 1950s to the 1970s, is a cultural icon in Tennessee.
I spoke with this protestor, Jacqueline Smith, outside the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee. She feels that the museum, the manner in which it was set up and its goals, is/are an insult to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Based on discussions with Civil Rights Museum staff and Ms. Smith, I have to wonder... Who would Dr. King feel was carrying on his work, a slick for-profit operation or a lone protestor calmly calling attention to a situation that she feels is inappropriate.

The Feria of M�laga commemorates the taking of the city by the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, on 18 August 1487, five years before the completion of the Reconquista, at which time M�laga was incorporated into the Crown of Castile.

What Happens to Older Developers?
A full Kiraly Cases tags system will be added in 2014.
This post is old but will remain on the front page for the time being.
140313. Jeff Jenkins posted these questions and others recently at Ask Hacker News:
What happens to older developers? Is there a plateau in pay? Is there a drop in pay switching jobs after a certain number of years? Is becoming a specialist rather than a generalist the answer?
To read the original post, click here. Note: The link was valid as of March 2014. However, it may have broken since then.
This is my response:
Developers who go on long enough are expected to obtain high-level titles by their 50s or to retire at about that time.
I'd like to discuss an issue that you might not have thought about: What's going to happen if you lose your job?
Employment in the 50s can be problematic. If somebody is skilled and employed, and has a high-level title or is a specialist or has useful connections, they should be able to obtain a new position.
Otherwise, they might go from well-off to homeless. It happens. I'm 55, my resume is pretty good, and I was worth $1M a decade ago. I'm a transient now. I've got some medical issues, no medical care, and no dentists. Potential jobs are largely unskilled physical labor, which I'm not able to do.
I'm taking a shot at tutoring. However, I don't expect that to provide more than gas money. The head of an admin assistant firm said that I can't be a secretary unless I already am one.
Two people considered sending me to care for elderly relatives, but we didn't proceed. My title at one of those positions was going to be "poop scooper".
Don't let this happen to you. For what it's worth, here's my advice:
1. Don't fall off of the employment ladder.
2. Become a specialist. Try to remain broad enough, though, that you don't become obsolete.
3. Build a network of people. Make it a large one.
4. Diversify your investments.
5. While you're employed, don't let medical issues, even minor ones, go untreated for long. If you lose your job and your assets, you'll lose medical care too and the issues may become serious.
6. Be kind to people. But don't be a fool. Most people that you help are not going to return the favor.
Regarding specialists, I did recruiting for a while in 2011 and I can confirm that the filters are weighted against generalists.
I've spent about 35 years myself as a generalist. My jobs called for it. The place where I spent most of my career took any project that came along, code of any type. At a dot-com that followed, after the money ran out, I handled all of the technical roles; IT, websites, development, support, documentation, etc. I was able to do a bit of everything.
Later on, none of this made a difference. There are few job listings that say "a bit of everything".
After the dot-com shut down, 2003, I made $1M in the stock market. Lost most of it afterwards and reentered the job market. Learned that middle-age generalists were not in high demand.
In my case, there were other factors that won't apply to you. It's a story for another time. But if you're a generalist who falls off of the ladder in middle age, you can expect things like this:
"With a resume like that, why isn't he a CTO? Why doesn't he even have a job?"
You'll be asked questions about algorithms that you haven't thought about for 30 years. Or you'll go through coding tests under adverse conditions that don't allow you to show what you can do.
Plan ahead. Understand that the best-laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.

I'm sure it is different for everyone, but is there a general idea of when you should expect to see your temps fall before AF? Does it usually happen the day before, a few days before? Any idea on what I can expect? Thanks!

The wedding bells are beginning to ring, and the scent of orange blossoms is filling the air. It is the start of Wedding Season, the most dreaded time of the year for priests and deacons. Not a few of them will comment, in private, that weddings are the part of their ministry they despise the most. (Nota bene: For the sake of this post, I am distinguishing the wedding ceremony and the travails necessary to plan and celebrate it from the rest of pastoral care for engaged couples.)...

Recycling mandate 'with teeth' up for debate in Hooksett
The proposal would mandate recycling at the curbside and the town's recycling center, giving the department's superintendent teeth to ensure that recyclables are not disposed with regular trash.
"It would give me more control at the facility .... because it's not mandatory, I can't enforce anything. They just come in and they just dump," said Diane Boyce, superintendent of Hooksett's recycling and transfer station. "It's that 1 percent of the town that will not recycle at all."
How the policy would be implemented and enforced have not been finalized. Boyce has suggested a system where the first two offenses would elicit letters notifying the residents of a violation. On the third offense, the residents would potentially lose curbside service for a limited period of time. Fines have also been discussed.
The town council voted 5 to 2 on Jan. 9 to move the warrant onto the town ballot.
Councilor Todd Lizotte, however, who feels the policy was "not properly vetted," has stated his intent to remove the question from the ballot.
"I think the recycling department in town is top notch," he said.
"I just think that mandatory recycling is premature until we have a better understanding of what we can possibly achieve, versus an open-ended goal."
Lizotte's concerns include the difficulties in enforcement, ambiguities in what is considered a recyclable, the lack of a specific goal for the mandate, fears that a mandate could produce a resentment toward recycling, and a reluctance to "police people's lifestyle choices." He said that instead of a mandate, the town should emphasize education.
Boyce has argued, however, that the mandate will not place any recycling-waste ratio requirements on residents or entail any regular auditing. She said that the mandate would only be enforced against violators who are dumping items which are "obviously recyclable," and would not target residents who are trying but may have made a mistake.
Lizotte said a goal for overall recycling percentage should be offered, along with an understanding of how that goal can be met.
Boyce said she did not have a specific tonnage goal in mind and that Hooksett's recycling program was doing "very well" in its first year.
The next town council meeting will be today at 6:30 p.m. at the town hall.

The truth hurts
Professor hosts expository documentary about Guantanamo Bay
Guantanamo Bay: home to some of the fiercest enemies of the United States and one 16-year-old boy.
On Wednesday night, Department of Media Studies professor Tanya Shilina-Conte hosted a screening of You Don't Like The Truth: 4 Days Inside Guantanamo at the Center For the Arts. The documentary, directed by Luc Côté and Patricio Henriquez, followed Omar Khadr during his four days at Guantanamo Bay and brings his experience to the public eye.
The film is seven hours of raw and grainy surveillance footage of Canadian Secret Intelligence Service (CSIS) agents interrogating Khadr at Guantanamo, along with interviews from those close to Khadr and involved with his case.
Although Khadr is a Canadian citizen and detainee, the nature of his crimes and the fact that Guantanamo remains open makes this film a concern regarding both American and Canadian politics.
"Very few Americans have witnessed interrogation footage from Guantanamo," Shilina-Conte said. "The film comes as a revelation and provides poignant insight into the plight of one among many prisoners held in the infamous prison. The film, [along with] the lecture by professor [at York University] Brenda Longfellow, provoked a thoughtful and meaningful exchange on political relations between Canada and the United States and the world at large."
In terms of current events, Khadr was recently repatriated to Canada last September. His stay at Guantanamo lasted 10 years. He now faces an eight-year confinement sentence in Canada.
Khadr was 15 years old when he was captured after a U.S. military attack on a terrorist compound in Afghanistan. His role at the camp was unclear during and after his capture, but it is speculated that his father, who had alleged connections with Al-Qaeda, placed him there as a non-militant translator.
As the only survivor of the attack, Khadr was accused of killing a U.S. soldier and sent to the U.S. Armed Forces' Bagram Detention Facility before his transfer to Guantanamo Bay.
In the attack, Khadr suffered injuries that left his vision damaged and his limbs severely debilitated from several gun shot wounds and explosions.
After barely surviving, Khadr was mentally and physically tortured at Bagram without the presence of any legal counsel or conclusive evidence towards a conviction for the crimes he had been accused of.
You Don't Like The Truth focuses on the interrogation of 16-year-old Khadr at Guantanamo and brings to light the violations of international law that kept him unlawfully detained and treated at the prison.
The four days of interrogation footage are divided and titled within the film to show a decline in Khadr's mental state and hopeless situation: "Day 1: Hope," "Day 2: Fallout," "Day 3: Blackmail" and "Day 4: Failure."
In the film, Khadr's first reaction to the Canadian agents' arrival was one of joy and hope - a chance to get out. As he soon realized the agents were not there to bring him home, but rather to work against him, Khadr fell deeper into a black hole of legal uncertainty and hopeless existence at the prison.
The title of the film is a quote taken from Khadr, as he went back and forth with the CSIS agents while he tried to claim his innocence - a stance he maintained until 2010 when he finally accepted a plea bargain that brought him home to a Canadian prison. Now Khadr, 26, faces up to eight years with a chance of parole in 2013.
Longfellow held a lecture directly following the film screening, "Complex Regimes of Truth: Surveillance and Affect," which directly coincided with the film.
"The film is really about demanding that the Canadian government lives up to international law," Longfellow said. "What happens to human rights and democracy where you have a system that says, 'You are a citizen, but I'm going to deprive you of your rights of citizenship?' The Canadian government did nothing about this."
Longfellow's lecture went into depth on conceptual ideas of the filmmaking process and the ideas expressed in the film. After Longfellow spoke, the floor was open for students to ask questions and talk about their reactions.
Many were intrigued simply by camera angles and framing, while others searched for answers to the film's purpose in serving a modern audience that may have never seen a documentary of its kind.
"The thing that made me most mad, although I'm an avid supporter of Barack Obama, is that he said he was going to shut [Guantanamo] down, and he still hasn't," said Corey Rosen, a sophomore communication and film studies major. "I think it's important, especially for young people my age, to know more about this."
Khadr's film continues to be screened throughout the world to show what happened at Guantanamo during its 10-year span, but Khadr's future remains uncertain.

How Much Does a Mechanic Make?
Mechanics service and repair various types of equipment, ranging from industrial machinery to aircraft engines. Wages differ based on the industry, skills required and duties performed. Mechanics who have completed a formal training program may receive higher wages than do mechanics without formal training.
Salary Information for Mechanics
Automotive Mechanics
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the median annual salary of an automotive mechanic was $36,610 in 2012, which amounts to $17.60 per hour (www.bls.gov). The top 10% of automotive mechanics and service technicians earned a median wage of $28.88 or more per hour, while the lowest 10% made a median hourly wage of $10.01 or less. Most of these mechanics worked in automotive repair and maintenance shops, auto dealerships and automotive parts stores.
Bus and Truck Mechanics
The BLS cited that, as of May 2012, bus and truck mechanics and diesel engine specialists received a median annual salary of $42,320, or $20.35 per hour. The middle half of bus and truck mechanics earned between $16.18 and $25.45 hourly. Most of these jobs were in freight trucking, auto repair and maintenance shops, vehicle parts suppliers and local government.
Aircraft Mechanics
Aircraft mechanics earned a median wage of $26.25 hourly, or $54,590 annually, as reported by the BLS in May 2012. Aircraft mechanics working for couriers and express delivery services companies earned the highest among all aircraft mechanics, with an average yearly salary of $76,440.
Industrial Machinery Mechanics
The BLS noted that industrial machinery mechanics received a median annual wage of $46,920 as of 2012, or $22.56 per hour. Most such mechanics worked in either commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance, or for machinery, equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers.
Career Requirements
Prospective mechanics may look to junior colleges and vocational schools to receive training in the specific field of repair they wish to pursue. These institutions offer certificate, diploma and associate degree programs in automotive technology and diesel repair to help aspiring mechanics gain the knowledge they need to enter the field. While intermediate and advanced courses differ by industry, most programs begin with introductory courses in blueprint reading, electronic circuits and control systems.
Mechanics may also learn the necessary skills through on-the-job training or apprenticeships under the supervision of more experienced technicians. Mechanics-in-training often begin by performing routine work, like greasing parts, changing filters or replacing batteries.
Mechanics who have the required skills, education and experience may consider earning voluntary certifications, like those offered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. Certifications may help mechanics increase their employment opportunities and pay rates.

A tax on people who can't do math.
The odds of winning $1 million in the lottery are around a billion to one. Good luck. You'll need it.
de Proud Conservative 22 Octombrie 2003
An idea stolen by the government from the people who ran them illegally. Many states send a percentage of lottery revenue to the public school system.
People are going to play the lottery whether is it legal on not, so why not let the government control it?
In Texas, 30% of revenue is reserved for public schools while only 7% goes to the lottery commission.

The Super Bowl commercial funded on your dimeTweet
February 4, 2005
Last year at the Super Bowl it was Janet Jackson's breast that made a brief appearance, this year it's the F/A-22 Raptor that will (we were tempted to make a boob joke here, but we were stopped by our journalistic integrity). If you haven't heard yet, this bird--which hasn't completed operational testing and evaluation and which crashed about a month ago--will fly over the Super Bowl during pre-game festivities. POGO wonders: If the plane's so stealthy, will football fans even be able to see it?
Seriously, this is a blatant attempt to show off the $257 million per copy plane (note: several news articles say each Raptor will cost around $130 million, this price omits research and development costs and is a little misleading) to drum up public support when it's being threatened by possible budget cuts. The Air Force is trying to use the "gee whiz" factor to muzzle debates over its outrageous costs and whether we need the plane at all.
As the contrails from those F/A-22s evaporate over the stadium, think of them as your taxpayer dollars dissipating into nothing.
UPDATE: The Air Force openly admits its agenda:
"We are enthusiastic to showcase the air dominance capabilities of the F/A-22, and the Super Bowl is the perfect venue to do so," said Brig. Gen. Jack Egginton, commander of the 325th Fighter Wing at Tyndall Air Force Base.
