Pakistani In-Laws: Tact vs. Confrontation

We went to Pakistan for winter break and it was good to see everyone again, gorge on yummy food and attend lots of weddings! But one of the down-sides was having to "save" Baby M from his well-meaning relatives (grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles) who were bent on spoiling him rotten during the time he was there...

I guess I'm already a somewhat paranoid mom but when I returned from a trip to the grocery store to find that 18 month old Baby M had been taken for a drive with Uncle A sitting in the front seat, without someone holding him, without even a seat belt, my patience wore out. Even when we living in Pakistan, we always put Baby M in a car seat and never ever put him in the front seat. Apart from the fact that it's highly unsafe, it's also illegal.

Mr. F was away so I couldn't ask him to speak to speak to his A, so I asked his sister to call Uncle A and ask him to come back. God forbid, had something happened, I'd never have been able to live with myself... Except, everyone now thinks I'm super-arrogant and I'm also raising a mommy's boy... :p

New Haven Winter Wonderland

My fourth snowstorm this winter... Today, our car got stuck in the snow and we had to use a shovel to get the it out! It's a winter wonderland out there and I;m in love with the fresh, powdery snow coating the trees...

All I want to do is curl up on the couch with a blanket, a cup of hot chocolate and Mr. Darcy :)

Instead, I just put Baby M to bed after changing his diaper, feeding him cough medicine, applying Vicks on his back and chest and reading 'Welcome to the World' five times in a row :-P. Now, I'm working on an Econ problem set... Ahhh, the joys of grad school with a baby :)

2007 challenge

April 11th, 2007 at 04:05 pm

Well I got lazy/busy and stopped blogging and stopped really thinking about the $5000 challenge that I had going. I ended 2005 with about $700 from the intitial challenge and now want to continue on. I need to think more frugally and figure out some new ways to save money and get money into the savings account.

I did lose one way of making money this year though. After years of doing Pinecone surveys, when they expected us to download flash softwear (or something like that) I had to quit. Hubby really doesn't like downloading softwear via the net--computers that get sick with viruses are worth the $5 checks from Pinecone.

Any how I'm going to start using my ING account to save the yearly tax money and monthly mortgage money, to increase my interest rate on that money about 3%. I just really hate opening the property and school tax bills every year and decided about a month ago to start doing the save 1/52 of the tax bill every week if I could. Granted it may be tight some weeks, but not nearly as tight as coming up with several thousand dollars all in one swoop.

Last week I also got approved for a 0% APR for one year reward credit card from Sharebuilders that earns you dollars into your Sharebuilder account towards buying stocks. That account was started with nothing and has been funded by rebates, credit card rewards, etc. and is at around $1000 now. Not a huge lot, but moeny that we wouldn't have had otherwise.

I was asked to give a talk on "Charity" in Sacrament Meeting on Sunday, March 25.  I sequestered myself in my hotel room while on the symphony tour and actually finished my talk a whole week ahead of schedule! While gathering information, I came across this very touching story presented by President Thomas S. Monson in General Conference October 2010.

A woman by the name of Mary Bartels had a home directly across the street from the entrance to a hospital clinic. Her family lived on the main floor and rented the upstairs rooms to outpatients at the clinic.

One evening a truly awful-looking old man came to the door asking if there was room for him to stay the night. He was stooped and shriveled, and his face was lopsided from swelling—red and raw. He said he’d been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. “I guess it’s my face,” he said. “I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says it could possibly improve after more treatments.” He indicated he’d be happy to sleep in the rocking chair on the porch. As she talked with him, Mary realized this little old man had an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. Although her rooms were filled, she told him to wait in the chair and she’d find him a place to sleep.

At bedtime Mary’s husband set up a camp cot for the man. When she checked in the morning, the bed linens were neatly folded and he was out on the porch. He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his bus, he asked if he could return the next time he had a treatment. “I won’t put you out a bit,” he promised. “I can sleep fine in a chair.” Mary assured him he was welcome to come again.

In the several years he went for treatments and stayed in Mary’s home, the old man, who was a fisherman by trade, always had gifts of seafood or vegetables from his garden. Other times he sent packages in the mail.  When Mary received these thoughtful gifts, she often thought of a comment her next-door neighbor made after the disfigured, stooped old man had left Mary’s home that first morning. “Did you keep that awful-looking man last night? I turned him away. You can lose customers by putting up such people.”

Mary knew that maybe they had lost customers once or twice, but she thought, “Oh, if only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear.”

After the man passed away, Mary was visiting with a friend who had a greenhouse. As she looked at her friend’s flowers, she noticed a beautiful golden chrysanthemum but was puzzled that it was growing in a dented, old, rusty bucket. Her friend explained, “I ran short of pots, and knowing how beautiful this one would be, I thought it wouldn’t mind starting in this old pail. It’s just for a little while, until I can put it out in the garden.”

Mary smiled as she imagined just such a scene in heaven. “Here’s an especially beautiful one,” God might have said when He came to the soul of the little old man. “He won’t mind starting in this small, mis-shapen body.” But that was long ago, and in God’s garden how tall this lovely soul must stand!

“Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.”

“There is a serious need for the charity that gives attention to those who are unnoticed, hope to those who are discouraged, aid to those who are afflicted. True charity is love in action. The need for charity is everywhere.”

--President Thomas S. Monson

This is my December

Thanksgiving was lovely. The turkey turned out pretty well. We did a rosemary, salt, pepper, and butter rub both under and over the skin, and made a standard bread stuffing to go inside, and made gravy from the drippings after the turkey was cooked. It ended up being done cooking early, it was nice and moist and flavorful, the skin wasn't quite as crispy as I think I would have liked and the salt wasn't perfectly distributed resulting in pockets of salty turkey and pockets of blander turkey, but overall we liked it.

The rest of that weekend wasn't as hot. We ended up in the hospital on Saturday night and again on Sunday afternoon because I was having regular contractions. They gave me terbutaline on Saturday which made me horribly shaky, and on Sunday I got an IV in case it was dehydration, but got to avoid getting another shot of terbutaline because the contractions stopped pretty much right after we got into triage. Long story short, there's absolutely no sign of the baby coming early, and the contractions were probably due to "gastrointestinal distress" combined with dehydration. I had a buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese dressing for dinner on Saturday night, which was pretty spicy, and had a fried onion rings appetizer as well, and was feeling pretty sick to my stomach several hours later, and ended up throwing up in the middle of the night (several hours after we got home from the hospital). So, the end result is, I am supposed to avoid spicy and fried foods for the next month, and am supposed to make sure I stay well-hydrated, and am supposed to generally take it easy. The doctor said, "No hikes, no long Christmas shopping excursions in large crowds" both of which I thought were pretty funny. There's 0% chance of me wanting to go on a hike in the next month. And I don't like really long Christmas shopping excursions either.

Oh yeah, add an icky cold on top of all of that, too. And waking up between 3:30 and 4:30 every single morning for over a week now and being unable most mornings to fall back asleep for at least 2 hours if at all. I'm feeling pretty wiped out at this point.

The few Christmas presents I am making are coming along well, though more slowly than I would like. Our tree is up, though not decorated yet since it will be making an appearance at the ward Christmas party on Friday so there's no point putting any ornaments on it now since they'd just have to come off again before then and then go back on again after. Aiden really likes looking at the lights on the tree, and the colored lights and tiny ornaments on my old dollar-store mini-tree that I've had since I was a freshman in college.

I had an ultrasound this past week, which was kind of fun (though long, again). Absolutely no signs of kidney reflux or excess amniotic fluid, which is great. Little baby Caleb boy is looking quite cute in there. When we were at the hospital for the conractions, the nurses both nights seemed a little surprised by just how active he was, rolling and kicking vigorously, which made their attempts at fetal monitoring a little difficult. He's got his head downwards like a good boy already, but I don't know if he's dropped yet (I kind of think not right now). So, things are good. I am getting tired of being pregnant, and six more weeks seems like an interminably long time to have left, but I am glad that he is not likely to come before Christmas at the least, and figure I shouldn't start feeling really impatient about it until after New Years at the earliest.

I have put together a long to-do list of things I would like to accomplish before the baby gets here. They're all things that ought to be done regardless, but some of them might not end up happening in the next month's time. Very few of them will end up happening, I suspect, unless Mike helps me a lot. I've discovered cleaning is really quite difficult when you can hardly bend over at all. And weeding and most other yardwork is practically impossible (and ill-advised considering my doctor's advice to take it easy). So we'll see what gets done, since I can't do most of it myself and he is busy with work and other obligations a lot of the time.

Aiden is getting very big. He has finally grown out of most of his 18-month clothes and is wearing the ~4 different 24-month outfits I have for him currently every day. He feels a lot heavier to me, too. Who knows, perhaps he is approaching the 30lb. mark. He's definitely quite adamant most of the time about what he wants (generally one of the following things: going outside, seeing grandma and grandpa, playing with his pots, marshmallows, cookies, crackers, milk, water, string cheese). He's doing pretty well at learning to say "please" although he is not doing so well at not throwing tantrums which involve him collapsing on the floor in a pitifully crying heap when he doesn't get what he wants. He is also not doing so well at not throwing his food when he's done eating, and at not kicking mommy during diaper changes. I rather suspect these are very typical toddler behaviors though, so while I do try to help him learn to be nice, I am not feeling like a failure when he is not. Though sometimes I do end up having little tantrums and meltdowns of my own.

It's been cold here lately, finally. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't, depending on whether or not I'm feeling overly warm or overly cold. The high today is supposed to be 56 and it is likely going to rain. It still doesn't feel very Christmasy to me without any snow, that is one aspect of Arizona that I am not used to still, though I do appreciate it. I don't even want to think about how many times I would end up falling down right now if there were snow and ice on the ground. I am not a very stable or well-balanced pregnant lady. The cool weather and rain should be nice, though it makes going outside to let Aiden run around a bit more complicated.

Overall life is still pretty good, despite all my end-of-pregnancy and mother-to-a-toddler complaints. We're getting by alright, and are all usually pretty happy, and there's not really much more I can want than that. Except for sweets. And those, those I can make any time. :)

“I probably could not express adequately in words how appreciative we were for all Jean and Mark did for us. We were in a very difficult situation and turned to Jean for help. Not only did she step in and do all she could to help us, she did it in a way that eased our anxiety, relieved the pressure and stress we were under, and move our house as quickly as possible. I highly recommend Jean Garrell and her team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell and wants a professional, caring and dedicated person on their side. She knows the market and area like no one else. If you ask anyone who sells Loudoun best, not only do the locals say Jean Garrell, so do the other realtors! THANK YOU JEAN!”

Random thoughts: What’s in a nickname?

by Gary Shelton on October 22, 2017 · 2 comments

in general, NFL, Tampa Bay Bucs

Sunday, 5 a.m.

Bears' rookie Mitch Trubisky picked up the worst nickname in the NFL. He's the “Pretty Boy Assassin.” Nothing wrong with Assassin (as Jack Tatum would tell you). But I don't think “Pretty Boy” is going to inspire fear.

– What? Was "Lovely Flower" taken?

– Halloween costume suggestion: Ronda Rousey. The kid could go “trick or … “ and fall over, because that's how long her matches last.

– ESPN polled 155 NFL players, and the consensus was that Eli Manning is the most overrated player in the league. Jay Cutler was voted “the quarterback you most wouldn't want to be teammates with.”

– Next time an athlete says they won for the fans, remember today. Jimbo Fisher gets into it with a fan, a Tennessee defensive back flips off the world, Kyree Irving gets into with a fan and Keven Durant gives the (ring) finger to a fan. Gee. Which group is giving money and which are taking it?

– Charles Barkley, who is like an AM radio on scan, now says the media is at fault for reporting about kneeling protests in the NFL. Which part did Chuck think the media was supposed to leave out?

– Lonzo Ball started his NBA career by going 1-for-6. Or, as dad LeVar would say, “he won his third straight NBA title by scoring 59.” You see, Dad's nose grows when he talks.

– Halloween costume suggestion: Marshawn Lynch. Accepts only Skittles.

– If Roger Goodell were in charge of punishing Harvey Weinstein, then Weinstein would have nine movies coming out by November.

– Halloween costume suggestion: Kyrie Irving. No teammates, just Kyrie. He's No. 1.

– Three people who charmed us by nothing absolutely nothing about what was going on around him. 1. Sgt. Schultz. 2. Vito Corleone. 3. Rick Pitino.

– There is a distinctive Florida flavor to the search for the new National's manager. Both Dave Martinez and all-time great Tony LaRussa are among the five candidates listed by the SportingNews.com. LaRussa is 73, which is kind of aged, but it would be nice to see Martinez get a shot.

– Halloween costume suggestion: Butch Jones. Just wear a Lane Kiffin mask.

– Orlando's Jonathan Issaac was so nervous for his debut that he forgot to put on his jersey for his first game. Same thing happened to Janet Jackson, and everyone made a big deal out of it.

– So who wins a debate between Lee Corso and Dick Vitale? I imagine Corso … putting on a Vitale head.

– Halloween costume suggestion: Tiger Woods. Carry a putter and wear a very, very old green jacket.

– Florida's Jim McElwain is now No. 22 on the Coaches' hot seat rankings.He'd be higher, but with Lovie Smith (eighth) and Butch Jones (first), there is only so high he can go.

– Which coach leaves first? USF's Charlie Strong or UCF's Scott Frost? Both are going to get offers.

– Did you see Tennessee defensive back Rashaan Gaulden flipped off Alabama fans after his touchdown return brought the Vols closer in a 45-7 loss. Yeah, that'll teach 'em.

– I forget what that extended middle finger means. Is it "we're No. 1?"

If USF and UCF were to lose their coaches which is entirely possible as you said, then what are those teams playing for? A chance for their head coach to get a fat contract at a bigger program? Yuck. This is the worst part of college athletics. Coaches demand loyalty from the players and fans but their loyalty is only to the advancement of their own careers.

Gary Shelton October 22, 2017 at 12:55 pm

Everyone in college athletics is partially out for themselves. It’s why kids transfer or go pro early. It’s why coaches take higher paying jobs. But while they’re all in school, they have a common bond.

I think you can be loyal to more than one cause. I don’t doubt that coaches love their players. But you only get so many shots at upward mobility. I don’t blame players for leaving early; I really don’t. And I’ve never turned down a couple of million dollars worth of a raise.

Asking Gary about Rays, Bucs and Super Bowl

by Gary Shelton on February 13, 2015 · 10 comments

in general, NFL, Tampa Bay Bucs, Tampa Bay Rays

Do you think there would have been so much turnover on the Rays roster if Andrew and Joe were still here? Or could they have possibly left because they didn't want to face another roster churn?
                                -- Robert Wilson

No, I don't think there would have been quite as much. That's natural. I think anytime there is a change, there is less loyalty to the guys in uniform. For instance, Joe

Regarding the Glazers’ committment to bringing a championship to Tampa Bay…

Tampa Bay Bucs regular season won-lost record during Glazer family tenure:
malcolm: pre-stroke (1995-2005) 96-80 0.545 11 years – 6 playoffs
malcolm: post-stroke (2006-2014) 52-92 0.361 9 years – 1 playoff
Glazer Family Record 148-172 0.463 20 years – 7 playoffs

The Bucs are just one of 6 teams that have not been in post-season since 2007 or longer. Record for 2008-2014 = 39-73 0.348.

I think it is clear by now that Bryan, Joel, and Edward do not have the talent or the will to produce a successful team on the field. And why should they put forth the considerable additional effort to do so? They have and will continue to make gobs of money with $200 million per year in TV revenue alone. For the just concluded 2014 NFL regular season, where the Bucs went 2-14 and 0-8 at home, they averaged 60,000 paid attendance with 51,000 actual attendance. It is not worth the Glazers effort to go after the small incremental gate receipts that producing a winning team would yield.

Gary Shelton February 13, 2015 at 10:50 am

Don’t forget. That first era included perhaps the finest defense we have seen in our lifetime. In the second era, you’re talking about Raheem Morris and Josh Freeman and Mark Dominik. It isn’t just a matter of who sits in the owner’s box. To judge an owner’s commitment, you have to judge how hungry an ownership is to win. That’s the prime thing an owner brings. The Bucs didn’t win under Malcolm because he was so astute as an owner. They won because of Brooks and Sapp and Lynch and Dungy and Gruden. Could the Glazers be better owners? That’s a fair statement. Losing is on them. But I’m not willing to say that every team that wins has great ownership and every team that loses lacks it. As always, there are a lot of suspects when an organization fails.

scott myers February 13, 2015 at 11:58 am

I’m no big fan of Malcolm Glazer, but you have to give him some credit for hiring Dungy and for the organization drafting Brooks, Sapp, Lynch, etc. And you have to give him credit for bringing in Gruden at just the right time, after Bill Parcells jilted him. And the team went into decline before Malcolm’s strokes with Rick McKay leaving. But since the three sons tenure began in 2006, the Gruden/Bruce Allen relationship ended badly, Dominik was promoted to GM, clearly Raheem Morris was hired because he cost less than $1 million salary his first year, team payroll was quite low during Raheem’s 3 years (2009-2011), Greg Schiano was hired because the Glazers could not close the deal with Chip Kelly, Lovie Smith was allowed to name McCown as starting quarterback who was 3rd string for Lovie the 2 years that he played for Lovie with the Bears, and the offensive coordinator was well enough to resume duties during mid-season, or not. I just don’t get the sense the Glazer sons care that much whether the team wins or loses – they make tons of money no matter what. And it should be noted that none of them live in Tampa Bay, or even Florida.

scott myers February 13, 2015 at 12:17 pm

My bad – John Lynch was drafted in 1993 before Glazer bought the team. Brooks and Sapp were drafted in 1995 – I don’t know if that was before of after Glazer took ownership.

Gary Shelton February 13, 2015 at 1:37 pm

It doesn’t matter. Ownership has zip to do with picking players most places

Gary Shelton February 13, 2015 at 1:36 pm

Give glazer credit for hiring Dungy and Gruden, but he couldn’t have picked the players out in drafting any of them. The glazers do not know personnel. They offer no personal expertise. But most owners do not.

Rick Martin February 13, 2015 at 7:09 am

Enjoyed the Q&A. Hope you can have this on a regular basis.

Gary Shelton February 13, 2015 at 8:05 am

If you folks want it, I’ll do it.

A comment i posted on

  • some site
  • who unfortunately is still caught in the patriarchial mode of antiquity. I am sorry that I am somewhat hot headed about this issue – but it is one of the major concerns i have for the church who continue to downgrade women’s callings, and value in the body of Christ. Until you remove this from your thinking you will always have a lesser view of women regardless of how you try to skirt around the issue. when push comes to shove, when the argument is laid out, in this view men were just created with better stuff. I whole heartedly disagree that God created us in such a way, it is outside of his charcter to create part of his beloved creation A and the other part B. They are both split from the same substance A to become AB and BA.

    Here is my rant.
    Paul also supports and affirms slavery. I think we should start keeping slaves again then. or wait is it the case that in Antioch where Timothy was pastor, the situation was one where Paul felt it best that woman at that time and place not be the teachers? could it possibly be the case that he was talking to a particular social situation, time, and people group? The goddess of fertility not only had a temple in Antioch at the time Paul writes this but it was one of the biggest temples in the mediteranean world at the time. Further this cult had a large following and deep influence into the lives and families that TImothy was pastoring. Think of the implications and message that one would give to kids who live in Skid Row versus those who live in the rich white hills of Santa Barbara? I don’t think they are going to sound the same, or talk about the same issues.

    Again – why is it so diffcult to think that Paul could have meant for the time being Timothy keep everything under tight wraps until there is real Christian disciplship and teaching taking place (by the way the place where it talks about deacons having one wife is also in Timothy – same group of people, same issues – so wouldn’t we be surprised if he said something other than that?).

    NOw what about those crazy women in Corinthians that are prophesying? Or what about the female deacon as

  • Lazlo
  • speaks of, not to mention Junia (falsley translated Junias) the female apostle? shes not talked about too much in sunday school, but there are no records anywhere of men named junia in the first century Biblical or otherwise, but there are hundreds of women who have the name Junia (which is the greek).

    but then again if we want to lock ourselves into the culture and history of two letters out of all the NT – what do we do with the people who want to change those two letters to something like Philemon or Ephesians that give room and allowance to slavery? but then again isn’t misogyny just another form of slavery? So we men can keep all the control?

    and there is nothing said about Jesus, who was a much better example of honoring women and giving them places of promience in his own ministry than we are at following his example. and what about the holy spirit who is calling multiples of women to leadership, not only do they know that are they being called but so do the community of beleivers around them who are affirming many of these women to do what God calls them to do. When pieces of Scriptures do not line up with our everyday interact with the spirit we must question our own readings of the scripture and approach them again with a fresh mind. maybe it is the case that the Spirit is mroe flexible than us.

    When we buy into this patriarchial mindset, we fail our wives in the same way Adam failed Eve. Had he heeded God’s word and protected her, showing mutuality in his relationship with her he would have been able to keep her from the lies of the Serpent which ultimately led to her and him sinning. Instead of mutuality, holding one another up to the same position subordinate to one another – Adam made himself subservient to her, and in the process of relenquishing his own mutuality in their relationship gave up his responsibility to b ein co-humanity with his wife – thus failing to be the right kind of father for all generations to come.

    It is when men try to change roles – whether by making the woman subservient or becoming lazy and allowing themselves to be subservient that we break the co-humanity relationship that God created us to be in. This does not just apply to marriage, as man and woman are created co-equally prior to the advent of marriage.

    for me. my wife and i are servants of one another, and I for one if i ever minister in a body of believers will demand that at least one woman be in leadership with me – because they are the other half of understanding and knowing the whole of creation.

Watch <object>
« on: June 21, 2017, 10:14:53 AM »
Idea: You can watch an object in the room, in your inventory, on your person, or on another person.  An item that is watched will be harder to steal unnoticed, depending on the skill of the watcher.

> watch Bob's dagger

> watch coins

> watch bag

The same could go for 'guard', which I think already allows you to guard an object in the room.  Hence, the addition would be to 'guard' an object on your person, in your inventory, or on another person.  Example:

> emote settles both hands over ~bag

> guard bag

> emote settles both hands over %bob bra

> guard Bob's bra

Setting aside "is steal really such a problem, considering how targeted anyone with the skill is when they walk into a room", you can already watch someone you think is a thief, or watch a person to try and catch anything that happens to them.

If guard doesn't protect against theft attempts at least as similarly as it does from coded combat, I can see that needing to be adjusted.

I DO, however, like the idea of "nobody is taking this special package I have for Lord Foofypants, so I will watch it and make sure I never let it go", and by using watch on that object, you are now slightly more susceptible to theft from other pockets.
Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

Virus pain

As I spent my weekend trying to repair, then ultimately rebuilding my shared computer at home I had 3 realisations.

  1. Virus/Trojan programs these days are really nasty.
  2. It’s very easy for non-geeks to get into virus trouble.
  3. Thank goodness for backups.

I run two systems at home, my main system is used only by myself and has little active protection.  I have a virus scanner that I run occasionally but is not permanently active, and I am behind a firewall.  Besides this I rely on my experience to keep me safe; Memory resident protections slow down my system too much.  This continues to work well for me (touch wood).

I also have a shared system that I use for some email, and if I want to look at an Internet site that may have useful information but I am not sure about the safety of.  The main job of this system though is the main computer for the family to use.  Needless to say this system usually runs every type of protection it can get as it is a more open system and while my kids might become geekier as they grow up, I am the only geek in the house.

On Friday I got a call at work from my wife saying that everytime she tried to go to a website she got a security warning instead and a request to install a repair program, and that even after having run that, the message kept coming up.  Despite the cloud of doom forming over my head, all I could tell her was to shut down and leave it until I got home.  As soon as I logged the system back on there was no question that there was a trojan on the system that kept opening up sessions with various systems.  I ran the virus scan, which came up with 3 different infections and said it had dealt with it, but rebooting showed that it had obviously missed something.

I ran the signature update on the virus program and tried again but that did no good either.  I won’t bore you with the details but I ended up with a reinstalled system and a new anti-virus and malware program.  I had a recent backup of the system so the process was annoying rather than tragic.  I retrospect I had become complacent with the protection I thought the software gave that system.  While not a geek, my wife understands the basics of Internet safety, like not opening strange messages, but when the initial infection got through, the very official looking phishing worked on her and made the situation worse.

In re-installing the system I have made a few changes to limit the chance of this happening again.  You can never be 100% certain but the system did have active-x enabled in IE, my wife now must learn how to use firefox and I have disabled the preview pane for her outlook profile.  It did give me a chance to do a straw test on a couple of alternative virus programs as I was not happy with my previous Internet security suite even before this incident.  Of the few I tried in my non-scientific study, NOD32 did the best detection and removal and is now what is installed on both my systems, although with all the monitoring turned on for the shared system.  That and the system running much faster with a fresh install are the silver lining I guess.

3 thoughts on “Virus pain

  1. Hey, Todd –

    I would get calls several times a week when our main computer at home was a Windows box, from either my wife or the kids. I finally made the executive decision to switch us over to either Mac OS X or Linux (I went first with Fedora, then later with Ubuntu which proves to be more incredible with each release). Since switching over, we’ve had nary a virus, malware, or any other digital bug-a-boo to contend with along the way. Our main family computer is a Mac mini running Tiger (debating on whether to upgrade or not). My wife’s laptop and my daughter’s desktop both run Ubuntu. My son has a gaming PC, but we keep the virus checker running and updated.

    So, you might want to put:
    4. Windows sucks at digital security, so thank goodness we have choices for general computing uses.

    BTW, in the States, we spell it “realiZation” (the ‘s’ is for the UK and commonwealth folks).

  2. Greg,

    There are historical reasons for that PC being windows, mainly to do with when I used to have time to play games. When this system needs replacing it will almost certainly be either a Mac mini or an iMac.

    As I am posting from the Commonwealth (Australia to be precise) please excuse me using the correct spelling :)

    I paid for the grey tyres with a cheque.
    If you steal jewellery you go to gaol.

  3. I am like you, the three machines I use personally and never let anyone touch (two laptops and a big Dell running Vista) have no virus protection on them and I’ve never been infected. I occasionally run adaware or spybot or one of the others, but never a virus-checking program. I’ve been running this way on my home machine(s) for at least 15 years.

    On the four other machines on my home network (one for hubby and one for each of the kids) they are locked down tight with virus software and auto-run adaware and spybot twice a week in the middle of the night. If I didn’t do that, I’d be rebuilding those darned machines every other day, I think. It’s a lot less headache to keep them locked down.

    I have no protection at all on my print server, but it has no monitor, no keyboard, no mouse, it just sits in the corner and runs and I’ve had no problems. Of course we are behind a firewall, as well, that helps.

Toshiba Glass Free 3D TV Not Ready for PrimeTime

3D TV is great in theory except for one thing the glasses. The glasses are often bulky, expensive and lets face it most people don’t want to wear them. The dream scenario is glass free 3D TV.  Toshiba is attempting to creating such a TV using lenticular sheets of magnified lenses. At CES 2011

Tom Newman visited the Toshiba booth and a took at the Toshiba 3D glass free TV.   According to both his and other reviews, it is definitely a 1.0 product and is not ready for prime time. The picture is pixellated and lacks stabilization. The viewing angle is only 40 degrees, 20 degrees on both sides. There are 2 screens the 20″ which can be viewed up to 3 feet away and the 12″ which can be viewed up to 2 feet.

It also cost a lot of money, expected price for the 12 inch is $1400 and the 20″ is $2800, Samsung is offering a traditional 50 inch 3D with glasses at $990 according to PCW.   At this point those of us in the U.S. don’t have to worry about the price since it is coming out in Japan first and there is no release date for the U.S. Most people don’t expect glass free 3D TV to be ready for the public until 2015 at the earliest.

The Sayers Swindle by Victoria Abbott

book cover
The Sayers Swindle
by Victoria Abbott

ISBN-13: 9780425255292
Mass Market Paperback:
304 pages
Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime
Released: December 3, 2013

Source: Review copy from the publisher.

Book Description, Modified from Back Cover:
Jordan Kelly is delighted to make money tracking down rare and valuable mystery novels for her employer, Vera Van Alst, an avid collector and the most difficult woman in Harrison Falls, New York. But now her boss’s complete set of Dorothy Sayers is missing, and finding them may lead Jordan to a murder suitable for Sayers’s esteemed sleuth, Lord Peter Wimsey…

When Jordan manages to locate her boss’s missing books, they are in the possession of Randolph Adams, an elderly man in a nearby town. Offering a valuable Hemingway first edition as an incentive, Jordan thinks she’s about to seal the deal—but some of Randolph’s family think he shouldn't take it.

Then the entire family disappears—and a dead body shows up. Jordan tries to find Randolph (so she can get those Sayer books)—and makes sure a killer gets booked.

My Review:
The Sayers Swindle is a cozy mystery. It's the second book in the series. It doesn't spoil the whodunit of the first book, but you'll probably understand the second one better if you've read the first book. The author assumed you read the first book and didn't explain some could-be-confusing references.

The story is a situation comedy, going from one funny situation to another. The characters were enjoyable, but it was hard to take them too seriously. Since I've read so many mysteries, it wasn't too difficult to spot the suspicious behavior, take the information that Jordan discovered, and have a fair idea of where the story was headed. The question was more "how many awkward situations will Jordan get into while figuring this all out."

There was no sex. There was a minor amount of bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this humorous mystery.

If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.

More than 3,000 aerospace companies operate in the UK, including undisputed global leaders from the UK such as BAE Systems, GKN and Rolls-Royce, European leaders such as Airbus, Cobham, AgustaWestland, Finmeccanica and Thales and large global businesses such as Boeing and Bombardier. In addition the UK aerospace sector has the largest small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) base in Europe, with SMEs accounting for 55 per cent of civil aerospace sales in 2010.

On this page you can find out more about the UK aerospace industry, the impressive supply chain, leading capabilities in Engines, composites, metrology and aircraft systems.

The UK has a particular reputation as a global centre of excellence for the design and production of wings and aerostructures, aero engines and aircraft systems (including landing gears). Aerospace and Defence remains the UK’s second largest private sector investor in research and development. In addition, the UK has a thriving maintenance, repair and overhaul sector, servicing the huge numbers of military and civil aircraft that fly through and from the UK every year.

An integrated aerospace supply chain

One of the strengths of the UK’s aerospace sector is the many smaller, specialist companies working in the highly integrated supply chain. This is the result of a concerted effort to introduce best practice across the aerospace supply chain. Methodologies such as Lean, backed up by strong communication links and extensive use of e-business technologies to exchange information and manage production are now commonplace. The outcome is a more flexible and competitive aerospace industry at all levels.

Leading the way with lightweight composites

The integrated nature of the industry is apparent in the way ideas and technologies are exchanged and applied in different ways, including defence technologies being applied in commercial aircraft. GKN Aerospace developed an innovative composite wing spar for the A400M military transporter, which was the first time lightweight carbon composites were used for a primary structure on a large aircraft wing. Airbus then worked closely with GKN to redevelop the wing spar from the A400 for use on the A350 XWB. This was an essential step in ensuring the A350 lives up to its promise of being faster, more fuel-efficient and quieter than any of its predecessors.

The UK aerospace industry

  • around 100,000 people
  • Produce the wings for 50% of large aircraft
  • over 13,000 UK aero engines in service
  • 18% of global market share in 2010
  • 400 UK companies supply the Airbus A380 programme

Producing and maintaining aero engines

Rolls-Royce is the world’s second largest aircraft engine manufacturer and a byword for excellence within the industry. The sheer volume of engines produced by Rolls-Royce creates opportunities for the many component manufacturers operating in the UK. Crucially, the presence of Rolls-Royce also ensures an on-going demand for excellence in servicing and maintenance of aircraft engines. Overall, the UK has a 17 per cent share of the $45 billion global maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) industry.

Innovation in engine maintenance: Metrology Software Products

UK companies are at the forefront of innovation in engine maintenance. Engines are typically overhauled after 30,000 hours of operations and blades repaired wherever possible. However, more than half of blades are scrapped. A partnership between UK-based Metrology Software Products (MSP) and Hong Kong Polytechnic University has developed a breakthrough alternative that promises to automate the repair process. Maintenance company Hong Kong Aero Engines (HAESL), has already signed up to use this.

Aircraft systems

Many pioneering advances in aircraft performance and safety are based on UK innovation, and today’s aircraft systems engineers continue to build on that heritage.

At centres like Nottingham University’s Institute for Aerospace Technology, academic researchers are focusing on new power systems and improved fault diagnostics, while commercial companies are also investing extensively in development and testing. This diverse range of skills and expertise is helping UK companies respond to a fast-evolving international aerospace industry.

Defence aerospace: ongoing excellence

Defence remains an integral element of the UK’s aerospace capability. In addition to BAE Systems, a number of other major players are based in the UK such as Cobham, the world leader in air-to-air refuelling equipment. The company also develops communications and navigation systems, and its antenna equipment was chosen by Korean Aerospace Industries Ltd for its new military helicopter.

PostSubject: Film School Rejects The Head Hunter's Calling Film Review - The Headhunter’s Calling Is Formulaic Drivel   Mon Sep 19, 2016 12:16 am

The Headhunter’s Calling Is Formulaic Drivel
Hang Up When This Headhunter Calls.

Becoming an adult means learning to strike a balance between your home life and your career. With the advent of email, cell phones, and social media, the line between work and home grows blurrier every day. Director Mark Williams latest picture, The Headhunter’s Calling, tells the story of a corporate go-getter who puts career success ahead of spending time with his family. Although it’s a plot we’ve seen many times before, it’s also a part of life that more and more of us relate to. Williams’ direction and screenwriter, Bill Dubuque’s script, never quite gel. The result is a picture that doesn’t rise above the level of TV-movie drivel. While the movie’s heart is in the right place, The Headhunter’s Calling goes so broad with its storytelling that audiences will find it difficult to take the picture seriously.

The film tells the story of Dane Jensen (Gerard Butler), the quintessential workaholic absentee father. Dane is employed at a headhunting agency and we quickly find out he’ll pull out every dirty trick in the book to land a commission. His role is so generic that I’ll go meta and use a cliché saying to describe his cliché character (this movie doesn’t warrant enough brainpower to be inventive). If you looked up workaholic in the dictionary, Dane would show up. Everything about The Headhunter’s Calling feels like they took a stock movie script template and didn’t bother filling it in.

Dane’s the kind of guy who tells it like it is. How do we know Dane tells it like it is? He says so in the film’s first couple minutes. Since Dane is such a straight shooter, it’s no big deal when he tells his son Ryan (Max Jenkins), he’s getting fat. After launching several rocket-sized hints our way, the movie finally tells us that Ryan’s weight issues don’t stem from a love affair with Chipotle. Ryan is sick, potentially terminally ill. While the Jensen’s make changes to accommodate Ryan’s failing health, Dane remains focused on meeting his monthly sales targets. As Ryan’s condition deteriorates, — get ready for the Shyamalan style twist here — Dane begins questioning if he’s spent his life in pursuit of the wrong goals.

Dane is exactly the same kind of hyper-aggressive bro we’ve seen in these boiler room movies ad nauseum. Butler doesn’t do anything to differentiate himself from characters found within other films in the genre. He’s the type of guy that leans back in his swivel chair and speaks into a headset while pumping a stress ball in the palm of his hand. Dane also knocks back Red Bulls like Perrier and while in a doctor’s office, he takes a phone call in the middle of a literal life and death conversation. Serendipitously, Butler’s weak American accent actually works in service of his character. His vocal inflections are always a little too dialed up; he comes off as inappropriately aggro during mundane interactions. Dane’s kinetic vocals make sense in the context of a salesman pulling in 70 hour weeks. He speaks like an over-caffeinated, amphetamine-popping sales-shark.

Alfred Molina shows up as an unemployed engineer who trusts that Dane will snag him a job. Molina’s plot thread pops in and out of the movie like it’s playing a game of whack-a-mole. Molina, like everyone else in the film, doesn’t have much to do. Fortunately for us, the man is an old pro. He still packs some humanity into his itty-bitty part, which works to the film’s detriment. Molina’s ability to come off like an actualized human being makes all of the film’s cookie cutter characters feel even flatter.

Certain films are meant to be cathartic, they build towards opening a release valve. Others films are about experiencing a journey, they make you feel something along the way. The problem with The Headhunter’s Calling is that the entire film is constructed to service its climactic reveal. Everything that happens along the way feels artificially constructed in order to get you to a heart-warming revelation at the end. Sure, lots of screenwriters plot their scripts from the end and work backward — there is nothing wrong with knowing exactly where you are taking the audience before you begin. However, movies rarely feel this contrived. It’s one thing to go into a film knowing that it intends to break your heart, it’s another to have a film foreshadow its intentions so blatantly. A great movie leads you through a storm and then when you least expect it, presents you with a pot of gold. The Headhunter’s Calling asks its viewers to use the rainbow as its road-map while the pot of gold glimmers just on the horizon.

The Headhunter’s Calling wants to tell an inspiring story but its premise and execution are not nearly as profound as the movie thinks they are. When Dane finally has his life-altering epiphany, it happens in the corniest way imaginable. Dane’s family is more important than his career? Totes Obsv, as the kids are saying these days. The Headhunter’s Calling is boring, inoffensive, and mind-numbingly contrived. If this film had any conviction about its message, it would dare to point a finger back at the audience. After all, why should we expect Dane to slow down amidst the rat-race when many of us are hot on his heels?

What Can I Do To Save My Marriage You Ask

What Can I Do To Save My Marriage You Ask

If you're looking around wondering “what can I do to save my marriage” then you're no doubt in a dire situation as your marriage has hit rocky ground.

Without a doubt there needs to be a period of reflection before you can launch into a plan to answer your search, “what can I do to save my marriage?” Failure to stop and think and map out a plan means that you might very well end up going down dead ends and around and around in circles. So reflect and get a plan.

If you haven't already done so, you should talk to your spouse. Find out what they think of the situation and if they believe there is anything worth saving of the marriage. With any luck you both agree that you both want to save your marriage and you decide to go forward together.

You are then faced with either trying to figure things out on your own, going for marriage counseling or searching online for one of the many ebooks that are available and that will answer your question “what can I do to save my marriage?”

If you opt for marriage counseling you should consider that this process can be long, expensive and you really have to be prepared to open yourself and your marriage up to an outside third party. Not only that, you have to be lucky enough to find a therapist who will gel with you and your spouse in order for the process to work really well.

You could both try to work things out between on your own and sometimes this can work really well. However, you should be aware that you do run the risk of making things worse because you might not be entirely sure what you're doing or how to go about it. Not only that, you and your spouse will naturally take your corners and hold onto positions that you have, whether they are right or they are wrong. It's human nature to protect yourself and that might not always be the right way for you to go forward to find ways “to save my marriage.”

The other alternative is to use one of the many ebooks that are online. This can really be a break through choice for a lot of couples because it usually involves going at your own pace, paying a one off fee and getting step by step practical guidance about how to really save the marriage.

Without a doubt it is always easier to have your spouse on side and the two of you rooting for the marriage, but choosing the right resource to save the union is also crucial!
