Montana Administrative Register Notice 17-367 No. 24 12/24/2014
BEFORE THE BOARD OF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
OF THE STATE OF MONTANA
In the matter of the amendment of ARM 17.8.101, 17.8.103, 17.8.201, 17.8.202, 17.8.204, and 17.8.230 pertaining to definitions, incorporation by reference and availability of referenced documents, definitions, incorporation by reference, ambient air monitoring, and fluoride in forage and the repeal of ARM 17.8.206 pertaining to methods and data
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED AMENDMENT AND REPEAL
(AIR QUALITY)
TO: All Concerned Persons
1. On January 15, 2015, at 9:30 a.m., the Board of Environmental Review will hold a public hearing in Room 111, Metcalf Building, 1520 East Sixth Avenue, Helena, Montana, to consider the proposed amendment and repeal of the above-stated rules.
2. The board will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in this public hearing or need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact Elois Johnson, Paralegal, no later than 5:00 p.m., January 5, 2015, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need. Please contact Elois Johnson at Department of Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 200901, Helena, Montana 59620-0901; phone (406) 444-2630; fax (406) 444-4386; or e-mail ejohnson@mt.gov.
3. The rules proposed to be amended provide as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:
17.8.101 DEFINITIONS As used in this chapter, unless indicated otherwise in a specific subchapter, the following definitions apply:
(1) through (7) remain the same.
(8) "Board" means the Board of Environmental Review as provided for in 2-15-3502, MCA.
(8) through (11) remain the same, but are renumbered (9) through (12).
(13) "Department" means the Department of Environmental Quality as provided for in 2-15-3501, MCA.
(12) through (42) remain the same, but are renumbered (14) through (44).
AUTH: 75-2-111, MCA
IMP: Title 75, chapter 2, MCA
REASON: The board is proposing to add the definitions of "board" and "department" to this rule because the terms are used throughout Chapter 8. Rather than define the terms in each subchapter, the board is proposing to define them once, in this rule, for the entire chapter.
17.8.103 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE AND AVAILABILITY OF REFERENCED DOCUMENTS (1) For the purposes of this subchapter, the board adopts and incorporates by reference the following:
(a) through (l) remain the same.
(m) section 112(b)(1) of the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA), as codified in 42 USC 7412(b)(1), pertaining to substances designated as hazardous air pollutants; and
(n) the Montana Source Test Protocol and Procedures Manual (July 1994 ed.), a department manual pertaining to sampling and data collection, recording, analysis, and transmittal requirements; and
(o) the Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume I: A Field Guide to Environmental Quality Assurance (EPA-600/R-94/038a, revised April 1994); Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume II: Part 1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program Quality System Development (EPA-454/R-98/004, revised August 1998); Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume III: Stationary Source Specific Methods (EPA-600/R-94/038c, revised September 1994); and Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume IV: Meteorological Methods (EPA-600/R-94/038d, revised March 1995), a federal manual pertaining to sampling and data collection, recording, analysis, and transmittal requirements.
REASON: The board is proposing to delete ARM 17.8.103(1)(o) to remove references to Volumes I through IV of the Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems published by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Volumes I, II, and IV are already appropriately referenced in the applicable federal regulations incorporated by reference in ARM Title 17, chapter 8, subchapter 1, and the reference to Volume III was inappropriate, as it did not address ambient monitoring.
17.8.201 DEFINITIONS In this subchapter, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:
(1) remains the same.
(2) "Administrator," as used in 40 CFR Part 58, means the department.
(2) through (5) remain the same, but are renumbered (3) through (6).
(6) "Department" means the Department of Environmental Quality.
(7) through (25) remain the same.
(26) "Regional administrator," as used in 40 CFR Part 58, means the department.
AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-202, MCA
IMP: 75-2-202, MCA
REASON: The board is proposing to delete the definition of "department" from this subchapter because it is proposing, as discussed above, to define the term in ARM 17.8.101 for the entire chapter. It is unnecessary to define a term in a subchapter when that term is defined for the entire chapter. The board is proposing to add definitions of "administrator" and "regional administrator," as those terms are used in 40 CFR Part 58, which is incorporated by reference in ARM 17.8.202. Those terms would mean the department. This would clarify that the department will be the administrator for that regulation.
17.8.202 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE (1) For the purposes of this subchapter, the board adopts and incorporates by reference the following:
(a) The Montana Ambient Air Monitoring Program Quality Assurance Project Plan (November 1996 ed. 2013), a Department of Environmental Quality department manual specifying that specifies ambient air sampling and data collection, recording, analysis, and transmittal requirements that pertain only to the department's monitoring program;
(b) Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume I: A Field Guide to Environmental Quality Assurance, (EPA/600/R-94/038a, revised April 1994); Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume II: Part 1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program Quality System Development, (EPA/454/R-98-004, revised August 1998); Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume III: Stationary Source Specific Methods, (EPA/600/R-94/038c, revised September 1994); and Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume IV: Meteorological Methods, (EPA/600/R-94/038d, revised March 1995), a federal manual specifying sampling and data collection, recording, analysis, and transmittal requirements EPA Ambient Monitoring Guidelines for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), EPA-450/4-87-007 (May 1987);
(c) Methods of Air Sampling and Analysis, Third Edition (1989), Method No. 204, determination of fluoride content of the atmosphere and plant tissues (semi-automated method), a nationally recognized document specifying field and laboratory analytic procedures;
(d) and (e) remain the same, but are renumbered (c) and (d).
(f) (e) 40 CFR Part 58, including Appendices A through G, specifying criteria and requirements for ambient air quality monitoring and reporting.
REASON: The board is proposing to amend ARM 17.8.202(1)(a) to incorporate by reference the updated 2013 version of the Montana Ambient Air Monitoring Program Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and remove the outdated 1996 version of the QAPP. The major changes in the 2013 version include monitoring protocols for additional pollutants, substitution of citations to federal regulatory language in place of the actual language in the text, and replacement of references to outdated technologies with references to modern methods. For example, ozone, while a regulated pollutant, was not addressed in the 1996 Montana QAPP and PM2.5 was not a regulated pollutant at that time, so was not addressed in the 1996 QAPP. Both pollutants are addressed in the 2013 QAPP. In addition, the 1996 Montana QAPP unnecessarily repeated federal regulatory language and the 2013 version has eliminated that repetition by referencing those requirements instead of repeating them. Numerous other changes address the significant changes in the technologies and methods now used to conduct monitoring compared to those used in 1996. These and other changes are described in Summary of Changes: 1996 to 2013 QAPP. It, and the complete text of the Montana Ambient Air Monitoring Program Quality Assurance Project Plan (2013), are available on the department's web site at http://deq.mt.gov/airmonitoring/monitoringdocuments.mcpx.
Annually hereafter, or as needed, the board will initiate rulemaking to update the version of the QAPP that is incorporated by reference in the ARM. In addition, the board is proposing to remove from this rule references to Volumes I through IV of the Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems published by EPA for the same reasons given in the discussion of the proposed amendments to ARM 17.8.103. Finally, the board is proposing to incorporate by reference "EPA Ambient Monitoring Guidelines for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)" (May 1987). These guidelines are used in ARM 17.8.204 to establish the requirements for monitoring performed by sources subject to subchapter 8, which concerns prevention of significant deterioration of air quality. These guidelines are not adopted in the federal regulations adopted by reference in this chapter, but they provide supplemental information that is important when a company makes PSD monitoring determinations and when the department makes decisions about the quality and acceptability of collected monitoring data. The board is proposing to adopt and require compliance with the guidelines to provide as much consistency and clarity as possible to entities developing a monitoring project. Adoption of these guidelines would conform the rules to match the practices that monitoring entities, other than the department, must already follow to obtain air quality data suitable for use in the PSD review process. The complete text of the guidelines is available at http://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi/2000J2Q6.PDF?Dockey=2000J2Q6.PDF.
17.8.204 AMBIENT AIR MONITORING (1) The requirements of this rule apply to any ambient air monitoring performed by the department or any other entity as required by this chapter, including any ambient air monitoring performed as a result of any condition of any permit issued under subchapters 7 or 8 regardless of the date of issuance, or any other ambient air monitoring by any entity in order to determine compliance with subchapters 2 or 8. that is:
(a) required by this chapter;
(b) used to demonstrate compliance with this chapter;
(c) submitted in an application for, or to comply with a condition of, a permit under this chapter; or
(d) used to satisfy any applicable requirement of Title 75, chapter 2, MCA, or the federal Clean Air Act, 42 USC 7401 through 7671g, or implementing regulations, for which the department has oversight.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, or unless written approval is obtained from the department for an exemption from a specific part of the Montana Quality Assurance Project Plan, all sampling and data collection, recording, analysis, and transmittal including, but not limited to, site selection, precision and accuracy determinations, data validation procedures and criteria, preventive maintenance, equipment repairs, and equipment selection must be performed as specified in the Montana Quality Assurance Project Plan, incorporated by reference in ARM 17.8.202, except when more stringent requirements are determined by the department to be necessary pursuant to the Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, or 40 CFR Part 50 including Appendices A through E, Part 53, and Part 58 also incorporated by reference in ARM 17.8.202, at which time the latter two documents shall be adhered to for the specific exception. Any entity performing ambient air monitoring within the state of Montana for a purpose listed in (1) shall perform it according to a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) prepared to satisfy the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 50, 53, and 58, and, if performed to comply with subchapter 8 of this chapter, the EPA Ambient Monitoring Guidelines for PSD, which are adopted by reference in ARM 17.8.202.
(3) If monitoring for a purpose in (1) is performed by:
(a) the department, it must be performed in compliance with the Montana Ambient Air Monitoring Program Quality Assurance Project Plan; or
(b) any other entity, it must be performed in compliance with a project-specific QAPP that has been submitted to and approved by the department.
(3) (4) Failure to comply with this rule is grounds to partially or totally invalidate the appropriate ambient air monitoring data which subsequently could result in: The department may invalidate, in whole or in part, ambient air monitoring data that was not obtained in compliance with this rule. Invalidated data may not be used for the purposes listed in (1).
(a) a violation of the conditions of a permit issued under subchapters 7 or 8; or
(b) a determination by the department that a permit application submitted under subchapters 7 or 8 is incomplete; or
(c) a determination that insufficient ambient air quality data is available to determine compliance with any ambient air quality standard contained in subchapter 2 or a prevention of significant deterioration increment contained in ARM 17.8.804.
IMP: 75-2-201, 75-2-202, MCA
REASON: The proposed amendments to (1) would establish a single, uniform standard by which all regulatory-quality ambient air monitoring must be conducted within the state of Montana, whether performed by the department or any other entity. That standard would require ambient air quality monitoring to comply with ARM 17.8.204, if it is: (a) required by the air quality rules in ARM Title 17, chapter 8 (the rules that implement the Montana Clean Air Act); (b) used to demonstrate compliance with those rules; (c) submitted as part of an air quality permit application or to comply with an air quality permit condition; or (d) used to satisfy any requirement of the Montana Clean Air Act or federal Clean Air Act, or implementing regulations. These amendments are necessary because the requirements in the current rule that ambient monitoring be performed according to a QAPP are limited to ambient monitoring required by an air quality rule or an air quality permit. These requirements would be retained in the proposed amendments. In addition, the proposed amendments to (1)(c) and (1)(d) would require that ambient monitoring data, that may be submitted in a permit application or to satisfy a requirement of the Montana Clean Air Act or the federal Clean Air Act and implementing regulations, must comply with a QAPP approved under ARM 17.8.204.
The proposed amendment to (1)(c), which would require that monitoring data submitted in an air quality permit application must meet the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) requirements of this subchapter, is necessary because that requirement is not in the existing rule and the requirement would ensure that the data in a permit application are reliable. For example, a new mine or electrical generating plant may be required by ARM 17.8.822(5) and (6) to monitor for a year to develop data concerning wind direction and speed and baseline levels of air pollutants before applying for an air quality permit. The proposed requirement in (1)(c) for such pre-application monitoring to be performed according to the QA/QC provisions of this subchapter would ensure that, when the data is submitted as part of a permit application, it has been collected according to acceptable national standards.
The proposed new language in (1)(d), which would require that monitoring used to satisfy any requirement of the state or federal Clean Air Acts or implementing regulations must meet the QA/QC requirements of this subchapter, is necessary because it is not in the existing rules. The proposed requirement would ensure that monitoring used, for example, to influence a nonattainment designation is reliable. For example, under 42 USC 7407(d), a provision of the federal Clean Air Act, each state must submit, within one year after a new national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) is adopted in federal regulation, a designation to EPA of the attainment status of all areas in the state for that NAAQS. Private entities conducting ambient monitoring for the subject criteria pollutant may also submit data to the department in support of a specific designation. Such monitoring might not be required by Montana law or rules, federal law or regulations, or an air quality permit. However, if data generated by that monitoring is submitted to influence an attainment or nonattainment designation by the department, the proposed new language in (1)(d) would require that it satisfy the ambient air quality monitoring requirements in this subchapter to the same extent as data generated by the department.
The amendments to (2) would eliminate the requirement that all ambient monitoring must be performed according to the Montana Quality Assurance Project Plan (Montana QAPP) and instead require that all ambient monitoring be performed in compliance with a QAPP prepared in accordance with the federal quality assurance regulations and guidelines. The reason the existing requirement should be eliminated is that it is inappropriate and must be replaced as described below. The existing rule requires entities, other than the department, that conduct ambient air quality monitoring to use the same QAPP that the department uses, unless an exemption is granted by the department. This is not appropriate because the QAPP used by the department contains specific processes and procedures required only of regulatory agencies, which are not within the ability or purview of other entities, such as submitting data to federal databases, determining compliance with NAAQS, providing the public with air quality data, and participating in state and federal research efforts. On the other hand, a QAPP to be used for project-specific monitoring must be designed for the specific characteristics of the area, such as appropriate siting, topography, wind direction and speed, and specifics of the project, such as pollutants to be emitted. In addition, project-specific monitoring may include PSD monitoring, which is required of industrial sources and cannot be conducted by the department. The reference to the Montana QAPP in the existing rule is inappropriate and, in practice, entities other than the department, that conduct ambient monitoring for the purposes in (1), have submitted and obtained department approval for project-specific QAPPs.
The proposed new language in (2) would add the requirement that all ambient monitoring used for a purpose in (1) must be performed according to a QAPP prepared to satisfy federal regulations concerning QA/QC for such monitoring. Under the proposed amendment, all monitoring to be used for a purpose in (1) would be required to be performed according to a QAPP satisfying 40 CFR Parts 50, 53, and 58, including quality assurance requirements for state or local air monitoring stations (SLAMS), special purpose monitor stations (SPMs), and prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) air monitoring. The reason for the proposed new language is to ensure that all monitoring used for a purpose in (1) is performed in compliance with a single set of federal QA/QC requirements. It is beneficial to the department and other entities, as described above, that all monitoring that may be used for a regulatory purpose meet a consistent, defined level of QA/QC. The federal regulations concerning QA/QC already provide a suitable, nationally standardized and applicable apparatus by which to ensure the accuracy and reliability of such monitoring data. Under the proposed rule, the QAPPs required to be used by the department and private entities would all be subject to this same set of regulations.
The proposed new language in (3)(a) would require that, if the monitoring is performed by the department, it must comply with the Montana Ambient Air Monitoring Program Quality Assurance Project Plan. This is a QAPP that is based on the federal regulations in 40 CFR Parts 50, 53, and 58 and is designed to address matters relevant to ambient monitoring conducted by the state. A renamed and updated version of that QAPP is being proposed for adoption in ARM 17.8.202(1)(a). This would bring the Montana requirement up-to-date with federal regulations for ambient monitoring of such pollutants as PM2.5, for example, which was not a regulated pollutant when the last version of the Montana QAPP was adopted in 1996.
The proposed new language in (3)(b) would incorporate the requirement from 40 CFR Part 58 that a project-specific QAPP be submitted to and approved by the department before monitoring begins. In practice, the department has worked to approve QAPP documents in a timely manner and anticipates publishing guidance to that end. A project-specific QAPP is necessary for the reasons discussed above.
When an entity other than the department performs ambient monitoring before a permit application is submitted or to comply with a permit condition, it is required by existing federal regulations to perform it according to a QAPP that has been reviewed and approved by the EPA. Under the proposed amendments to ARM 17.8.201(2) and (26) and ARM 17.8.204(2)(b), the department would be the reviewing and approving authority. The department's review and approval of another entity's QAPP for monitoring performed to satisfy other requirements of the state or federal Clean Air Acts or implementing regulations is not required by federal regulations. However, department review and approval of a QAPP is necessary to ensure that the monitoring data collected will be reliable and appropriate to use for such actions as proposing designations of whether areas are attaining the NAAQS. The complete text of 40 CFR Part 58 is available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR&searchPath=Title+40%2FChapter+1%2FSubchapter+C%2FPart+58&oldPath=Title+40%2FChapter+1%2FSubchapter+C%2FPart+58@isCollapsed=true&selectedYearFrom=2013&ycord=1652.
The proposed amendments to (4) would authorize the department to invalidate data submitted for the regulatory purposes described above in (1), if the data was not obtained in compliance with ARM 17.8.204. If invalidated, the department may not use the data for regulatory purposes. While the proposed amendments maintain the department's existing authority to invalidate data, they also authorize the department to exercise discretion not to invalidate data, even if not obtained in compliance with the rule. This amendment would allow the department to determine whether failure to fully comply with the applicable rules and regulations undermines the quality of the data produced. In some cases, substantial compliance may produce data of appropriate quality to be used for a purpose listed in (1). This is consistent with 40 CFR Part 58, Appendix A, the regulation of the federal EPA that governs QAPPs for ambient monitoring. Section 1(a) of that appendix states: "Each monitoring organization is required to implement a quality system that provides sufficient information to assess the quality of the monitoring data. The quality system must, at a minimum, include the specific requirements described in this appendix of this subpart. Failure to conduct or pass a required check or procedure, or a series of required checks or procedures, does not by itself invalidate data for regulatory decision making. Rather, monitoring agencies and EPA shall use the checks and procedures required in this appendix in combination with other data quality information, reports, and similar documents showing overall compliance with Part 58. Accordingly, EPA and monitoring agencies shall use a 'weight of evidence' approach when determining the suitability of data for regulatory decisions." The proposed amendments would also remove language that is unnecessarily repetitive of ARM 17.8.204(1).
17.8.230 FLUORIDE IN FORAGE (1) remains the same.
(2) The following sampling protocol must be applied:
(a) through (g) remain the same.
(h) The composite sample must be thoroughly mixed prior to any chemical analysis. Replicate aliquots are to be taken using a sample splitter or any other unbiased technique, and analyzed chemically for fluoride using the semi-automated a method, as more fully described in Methods of Air Sampling and Analysis, incorporated by reference in ARM 17.8.202, except that the surfaces of the plant material must not be washed, or by an approved equivalent method approved by the department.
(i) remains the same.
REASON: The board is proposing to remove a reference to the semi-automated method for fluoride monitoring in Methods of Air Sampling and Analysis. That document is also being proposed to be removed from incorporation by reference in ARM 17.8.202, as described above. The reason for the proposed amendment is that the method is no longer commonly used and it is difficult to find an accredited laboratory to perform the post-sampling analysis required by the method. Updated methods are available and the board is proposing that the department will determine, on a case-by-case basis, the appropriate method to be used.
4. The rule proposed to be repealed is as follows:
17.8.206 METHODS AND DATA (AUTH: 75-2-111, 75-2-202, MCA; IMP, 75-2-202, MCA), located at page 17-272, Administrative Rules of Montana. The board is proposing to repeal ARM 17.8.206 because the requirements of that rule are already contained in applicable state rules or federal regulations and are, therefore, redundant. Specifically, the requirements of that rule are contained in the Montana Ambient Air Monitoring Quality Assurance Project Plan, 40 CFR Parts 50, 53, and 58 and EPA's Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, all of which are incorporated by reference in ARM 17.8.202.
5. Concerned persons may submit their data, views, or arguments, either orally or in writing, at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to Elois Johnson, Paralegal, Department of Environmental Quality, 1520 E. Sixth Avenue, P.O. Box 200901, Helena, Montana 59620-0901; faxed to (406) 444-4386; or e-mailed to ejohnson@mt.gov, no later than 5:00 p.m., January 22, 2015. To be guaranteed consideration, mailed comments must be postmarked on or before that date.
6. Ben Reed, attorney for the board, or another attorney for the Agency Legal Services Bureau, has been designated to preside over and conduct the hearing.
7. The board maintains a list of interested persons who wish to receive notices of rulemaking actions proposed by this agency. Persons who wish to have their name added to the list shall make a written request that includes the name, e-mail, and mailing address of the person to receive notices and specifies that the person wishes to receive notices regarding: air quality; hazardous waste/waste oil; asbestos control; water/wastewater treatment plant operator certification; solid waste; junk vehicles; infectious waste; public water supply; public sewage systems regulation; hard rock (metal) mine reclamation; major facility siting; opencut mine reclamation; strip mine reclamation; subdivisions; renewable energy grants/loans; wastewater treatment or safe drinking water revolving grants and loans; water quality; CECRA; underground/above ground storage tanks; MEPA; or general procedural rules other than MEPA. Notices will be sent by e-mail unless a mailing preference is noted in the request. Such written request may be mailed or delivered to Elois Johnson, Paralegal, Department of Environmental Quality, 1520 E. Sixth Ave., P.O. Box 200901, Helena, Montana 59620-0901, faxed to the office at (406) 444-4386, e-mailed to Elois Johnson at ejohnson@mt.gov, or may be made by completing a request form at any rules hearing held by the board.
8. The bill sponsor contact requirements of 2-4-302, MCA, do not apply.
9. With regard to the requirements of 2-4-111, MCA, the department has determined that the amendment and repeal of the above-referenced rules will not significantly and directly impact small businesses.

As the weather gets cooler, you know what that means...it's time to bring out those jackets!
In addition to coloured jackets, I love ones that are structured. I find structured coats to be very chic and edgy which falls in line with my personal style. With this look, I kept it very casual with a bit of edge to achieve an urban streetstyle look. Therefore, the addition of my structured orange jacket brings a chic element to my look.
To bring a edgy streetstyle vibe to my look, I wore a pair of ripped denim jeans. Moroever, I also accessorized with a a 3-tier chain link necklace as well as an orange and blue tasseled bracelet. I kept my top simple with a black tank, however the double traps are a nice added detail.
To finish off my look, I rocked a pair of lace up booties and a small structured bang with a pompom.
Tip: Lace up boots are perfect for the fall, therefore lace-up booties are a nice alternative to dress up a look.
If you don't have a coloured Fall jacket yet, its is definitely a 'must have' to add to your wardrobe.
Well, I'm off to go shop for more Fall jackets. What is another great Fall colour I should consider?

If you happen to stumble upon Debt To Dough, hello! I set out a goal to create a personal finance blog about the lifting yourself out of poverty, dealing with finance under poverty, getting out of debt, saving money, making money (side-jobs and career) and building long-term wealth.
Some of the articles & methods I will discuss will err on the side of unorthodox and will go against conventional wisdom. However, a majority of the financial topics I discuss is focused on having the right mindset and step-by-step guides that require effort.
For over 13+ years I've had a massive chip on my shoulder that I couldn't shake off. That chip was in the form of a nearly a $100K student loan debt. Throughout this timeframe, I went from no knowledge regarding finance to getting semi-savvy. At the time I created this blog (May 2018), I have knocked down my debt to a bit over $25,000, with the majority of it being paid off in the last 18 months.
This blog will be a brain dump of articles about how to pay off your debt, how to hack your way out of poverty, walk you through the process of getting out of debt, set realistic expectations on your journey, and to help make you extra money so you are no longer living paycheck to paycheck.
I won't talk about IRA's or 401Ks as it makes zero sense as my content targeted to the lower and middle class. Especially since we all live in something called "the real world" where not everything works out as planned. But one day I might get to that.
You've probably poked around the blog and you probably have asked yourself, "what is a dirty basement kid?".
The term originated from my favorite twitch streamer "Jason Somerville" who is a poker player/personality. He often refers to himself and his stream as 'dirty basement kids'. To me, it means that in poker, it's always a grind to make more money and make a living. And just like a number of poker players, most of them had humble beginnings.
Translating that outside of poker, I often use that phrase for people who didn't grow up with a silver spoon. The people who haven't always had an easy life and grow up poor or less fortunate. They are the dreamers of one day moving up out of the world and enjoy life without any restrictions.
Unfortunately, the reality is that the biggest restriction in life (to me) is money. So if you have ever dealt any financial strain and been singled out due to lack of income, chances are you are a dirty basement kid like me.
Debt to Dough is a personal finance blog for all of the dirty basement kids out there that are looking to climb out of a poor financial situation and onto a better life. I might be doing okay now, but that doesn't mean I forgot my roots.
Not sure where to start? Here are my recommended articles to get the ball rolling. I will be including additional sections as I create more content that will provide a thorough walkthrough.

Many of my readers will know from reading my blog that Wales has its own Welsh Valentines Day known as Dydd Santes Dwynwens . This is celebrated today - the 25th January.
St Dwynwen is The Welsh Saint of Love and Lovers. For those of you who want to know more please follow this link that I wrote a few years back about Our very own Patron Saint of Love.
Also you may want to Visit Wales have written a bit more about St Dwynwen's Day and they also have a lovely St Dwynwen's Day card for you to print and give to your loved one/s.
We are so proud in Wales that we have a woman who is the Patron Saint of Love. Her name Dwynwen translates to 'she who leads a blessed life' and her most well known saying is 'nothing wins hearts like cheerfulness'. So if you want to show your loved one a little affection and celebrate St Dwynwen's Day with us today, I have collected some of the best vegan and vegetarian Welsh inspired recipes from my blog and have listed them here if you wish to create a Romantic St Dwynwen Vegan or Vegetarian meal in your own home.
Welsh Woman's Vegan Laverbread Caviar serve these with Cashew Cream Cheese and crackers or if you don't fancy crackers then perhaps a little on some Crempog Las .
which does not appeal to everyone so to coax you, I will pretentiously call this 'Mermaids Pearls', but I think today calling it 'Welsh Gentlewoman's Vegan Laverbread Caviar' is more appropriate.
Here is the Cashew Cream Cheese I mentioned above.
Welsh Leek and Potato Soup with Chilli aka Welsh Dragon Soup remains one of my firm favourites. I love the giant Red Dragon Chilli Shortbread served with it.
Welsh Glamorgan Scotch Egg or if you want to go fusion, make a Pakora Scotch Welsh Egg.
First make the batter: Add salt and chilli flakes to the gram flour, then add enough beer until you achieve a good dipping consistency. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Place 150g breadcrumbs in a large mixing bowl along with the leeks and cheese.
Then add the herbs, cumin seeds, minced chilli, spices and seasoning of salt.
Now add the egg and stir to bind together.
Then divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and then using your hands roll each piece into the shape of a golf ball, squeezing gently to hold it together.
Now dip in batter and coat the balls evenly.
Shallow or deep fry for about 6 minutes till all sides are crisp and golden.
Indo Cymru Leek Stew with Dumplings that give you a Cwtch - that's Welsh for hug!
Welsh cottage Pie with Laverbread Mash.
If the rain is getting to you and you want something a bit more hearty, then perhaps some Welsh Laverbread Pudding.
And if this Savoury Pudding does not appeal, then maybe Laverbread, Mushroom and Puy Lentil Pies.
Vegan Welshcakes shaped into hearts if you so wish.
To make the Welshcake more decadent I like to serve it with a vegan Coconut Creme Brulee. Or if you must Bara Brith or more Welsh cheese!
Honest Mum - Thank you so much for being so kind to comment on this Welsh blog post. Have a wonderful weekend.
Johanna, I know - what a time of year and its on the start of the year too.
Oh so many great recipes! Happy (belated) Dydd Santes Dwynwens. I like that the patron saint is a woman, very cool. I love all of the dragon shaped things especially =) And the crème brûlée looks so good! Do you have one of those mini kitchen torches??
Your heart shaped ramekins are so cute!
Yes, my husband got me one for Christmas and i need to make more use of it.

Q: How can I push a CSS file to my main index page using Laravel 5.4 I want to push some CSS file to my main page (Where all CSS and JS files are included).
I can push some JS file by using
@stack('scripts')
in the main page and in content page
@push('scripts') // Scripts gone here // @endpush.
So in a similar way how can I push some CSS files in laravel 5.4.
I tried with same way for CSS but no luck.
Any idea/suggestion is helpful.
Thanks

A: Wouldn't know the answer (did some googling, and it looks like you're not the only one with this problem), but I know an easy workaround:
Main page
@yield('css')

Child pages
@section('css')
    // CSS goes here
@stop

Q: .call method throws error at this keyword In the simplified code below I attempt to push the string goblin into the creatures array.  Unfortunately I get an error at this.push(x).
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined at addName
If this points to the object that owns it, shouldn't that be the creatures object when it is used with a call statement?  Thanks so much for any help!

'use strict';

var creatures;

creatures = ['zombie', 'skeleton', 'orc', 'giant spider'];

function addName(x) {
  this.push(x)
}

addName('goblin').call(creatures);

A: You need to call like addName.call(creatures). Call the call function on the function itself, not on its result, which you have done. And if your function takes parameters, you can pass those parameters after passing the context.

'use strict';

var creatures;

creatures = ['zombie', 'skeleton', 'orc', 'giant spider'];

function addName(x) {
  this.push(x)
}

addName.call(creatures, 'goblin');

console.log(creatures);

A: There are two problems in your code

*

*Invoking call method on undefined - You are invoking call method to the return value of addName method call which returns undefined while call can be invoked only on function.

*call method takes this argument as the first parameter and arguments to the function to be invoked from the second parameter onward.

You need to pass goblin as the second parameter of call
 addName.call(creatures, 'goblin');

A: Classes suites better in this situation I believe
    'use strict';

class Creatures5{
    constructor(){
        this.creatures = ['zombie', 'skeleton', 'orc', 'giant spider'];
    }

    addName(x) {
      this.creatures.push(x)
        console.log(this.creatures)
    }
}
var CreatureObj = new Creatures5;
CreatureObj.addName('goblin');

OR you can
'use strict';
var creatures = ['zombie', 'skeleton', 'orc', 'giant spider'];

function addName(x){
    creatures.push(x)
}

this.addName.call('goblin')


Archives for August 2015 | Lyme Diagnostics Ltd.
The following interview was posted on Lyme.no, the website of the Norwegian Lyme Borreliosis Association, in 2010. Dr. Bózsik is the inventor of DualDur and the leader of the Diagnostic & Therapeutic Workgroup of the Lyme Borreliosis Foundation, Hungary.


Sean DeSouza (right) and Anthony Xavier are the first two players to advance to the Championship round.
SEAN DeSouza and Anthony Xavier have booked their spots in next month's three-day pool championship which will select a national team to do battle against Trinidad and Tobago.
The pair finished first and second respectively in the first round of the Guyana Pool Committee (GPC) Banks Beer national Qualifiers, which was held on Saturday night at the Jerry's Sports Bar in Grove.
The two former national players battled past eight other players to reach the final. That game ended with a 3-0 win for DeSouza.
Up to press time, 10 other hopefuls were competing at Suraj's Bar in De Willem, East Coast Demerara, with the top two again qualifying for the championship round.
The championship, which will see the top 24 players in the country battling for supremacy, has been pushed back one weekend to March 22-24.
The GPC and their T&T counterparts are hoping to re-ignite interest in the game by batting in their own version of the Mosconi Cup (which is an annual pool tournament contested between teams representing Europe and the USA).
Although the top eight will make the national team, the top two finishers will travel to Trinidad free of cost, since their transportation, meals and entrance fees will be paid for by the GPC.
Ten other rounds are scheduled for various venues but this may be subject to change.
These venues and dates are: Shooters Bar (Anna Regina, February 15); Seepaul's Bar (Kitty, February 16); Tasha's Bar (ECD, February 17); Seeta's Bar (February 22); Bill's Bar (Goed Fortuin, February 24); The Caribbean Beat (Campbellville, March 1); Coins Restaurant and Bar (Diamond, March 2); Sunil's Bar (Mahaica, March 9); Mitra's Bar (Mon Repos, March 10) and Jerry's Bar (Grove, March 15).


One way to make sure that you don't waste your budget is to make sure you only feature against keywords that are relevant to what you are trying to sell. I know it seems common sense, but there are many that do not adhere to this. A good example of campaigns that could be better targeted can be found if you are searching for one of the less popular, but growing holiday destinations, say Albania. When we looked, out of the top 8 advertisers in paid search for the keyword "Albania holidays" only 4 actually offered either holidays or flights to this destination, the other four didn't! These included Thomsons, Thomas Cook and First Choice.
You would expect that these ads have appeared due to a board match on the keyword holiday, but if you are going to use broad match it is really important to also use the right negative keywords to stop your ad matching to irrelevant search queries. If you want to use the word "holiday" on broad match, we would recommend adding all the destinations that you don't serve as negative keywords. It would also be good practice to regularly and in peak season that might mean everyday, mine the search queries to find new negative keywords and stop further irrelevant matches and budget wastage.


Hawaiʻi Island police have charged the remaining two persons who had been sought for fraudulent use of a credit card in Kona.
At 12:25 p.m. Tuesday (August 5), Luke Kaniaupio, 21, of Kailua-Kona was charged with burglary, criminal property damage, two counts of unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, five counts of theft and three counts of fraudulent use of a credit card. His bail was set at $117,000. He was also charged with a no-bail charge of violating probation.
Leilani Parent, 26, of Kailua-Kona was charged with burglary, unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle, ID theft, fraudulent use of a credit card, possessing unauthorized confidential personal information, attempted ID theft, forgery, attempted forgery, attempted theft and three counts of theft. Her bail was set at $147,000.
Both were being held at the Kona police cellblock pending their initial court appearance scheduled for Wednesday (August 6).
Kaniaupio and Parent were among the four people who had been sought for using a credit card after it was stolen from a car on Kuakini Highway on July 23. They were arrested Sunday (August 3).

NWL Roundup 6/19
Alexandria 7 – Brainerd 4
With the bases loaded and two-outs, the Alexandria Beetles halted the Lunkers ninth inning rally to win Game Two of their series, 7-4. The game was a pitcher's duel for the first five innings, but in the sixth, the Beetles struck first blood. A one-out single gave way to two run-scoring doubles to put Alexandria up, 3-0. Then in the eighth, the Beetles brought ten men to the plate and scored four more behind two singles, a double, and a pair of walks. With their backs against the wall in the ninth, Stephen Wickens (Florida Gulf Coast) led off with a single, which was followed by Justin Gominsky's (Minnesota) bunt single. T.J. Berge (Northern Colorado) singled for the third consecutive hit, which led to the first run. Two outs later, back-to-back walks set up a bases-loaded, two-out situation. However, the Beetles shut down the Lunkers offense to preserve the victory. Keith Castillo (USC), Tim Roberson (FGCU) and Chase Porch(UNA) all doubled and Porch added in two RBI in the sixth. In the eighth inning the Beetles sent ten to the plate, getting RBI hits from Mike O'Neill (USC) and Vance Albitz (UC-San Diego). Erik Johnson (Cal-Berkeley) went six shutout innings in the starting role for the Beetles, finishing strong by striking out the side in the sixth inning. Matt Miller (Michigan) gave up two runs in his two innings of relief, and Brendan Alvey (Navarro JC) got roughed up in the ninth, but escaped after allowing two runs and leaving the bases loaded with a game-ending strikeout. Berge led all Lunker hitters with his 3-for-5 performance at the plate. Following close behind was David Valesente (St. Joseph) who finished 2-for-5 with an RBI. Brad Mergen (Indian Hills CC) fell short of picking up his third victory as he lasted 5.1 innings, allowed three runs on five hits, walked three, and struck out five.
Duluth 7 – Rochester 4
After entering the final frame down by six, the Honkers brought the tying run to the plate in Corey Jones (Cal State Fullerton) and he worked a long at-bat, but eventually struck out to end the game as Duluth completed the two-game sweep over Rochester with a 7-4 win. The Honkers are now (11-9) while Duluth moved to .500 at (11-11). The game stayed scoreless until the third, but Duluth erupted in that frame with five runs to take a 5-0 lead. Jerico Weitzel (Florida) delivered a two-run double off of Honkers starter Brian Flynn (Wichita State) to open the scoring. After a ground out Zach Walters (San Diego) added an RBI single and Jared Womack (Oklahoma State) hit a two-run single two batters later to complete the five spot in the frame. Flynn would complete the inning and enter the fourth, but he got only one out in that inning before being chased and charged with two additional runs to account for all seven of Duluth's runs in the game. One of the seven was unearned after a passed ball allowed a Huskies runner to advance. Meanwhile the Honkers struggled with Duluth starter Chris Jensen (San Diego) as he kept Rochester off the board for four innings before allowing a single Honkers run on a sacrifice fly by John Tommasini (Oregon State) in the fifth inning to make it a 7-1 Duluth lead. The score stayed there until the bottom of the ninth inning, when Rochester mounted its late rally. The Honkers started the inning with a walk, a single and another walk in front of Aaron Johnson (Illinois) who was inserted as a pinch hitter to try and push some runs across. He came through with a two run double lined just fair past first base and into the right field corner to make it a 7-3 game and another run would score on a ground out by Danny Pulfer (Oregon) to cut it to 7-4. Aaron Dunsmore (Dayton) drew a walk to bring the tying run to plate in with just one out in front of Huskies reliever Kendall Wehrle (Arkansas) but the righty, despite being wild at time, buckled down and got Tommasini to strike out before also getting Corey Jones to swing and miss for the final out. Jones worked a full count and fouled off numerous pitches, but eventually couldn't come through with the big hit. Flynn was charged with the loss to fall to 2-1 and lasted just 3.1 innings while allowing seven runs (six earned). The win went to Jensen, his first of the year, after he went 6.1 innings allowing just one run on three hits while striking out seven. The save was earned by Wehrle, his first of the season. No Honker had multiple hits, and Johnson paced the offense with his 1-for-1, two RBI day. Weitzel led the Huskies attack by going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI.
Mankato 8 – Thunder Bay 4
The Mankato MoonDogs continued to roll, as Danny Miller went 3-4 with an RBI and Jimmy Patterson belted a monster home run to give the MoonDogs their fourth sweep of the season with an 8-4 victory over Thunder Bay at The Frank on Friday. Miller (Minnesota State) got the MoonDog (15-7) offense going early as he belted three singles in each of his first three at-bats. The MoonDogs got out to a 4-1 lead after three innings via RBIs from Miller, Taylor Black (Spartanburg Methodist) and Ryan Durant (Iowa). Scoring first has been a staple of this year's club as the win moved the MoonDog record to 12-2 when they score first. In the fifth, Patterson (Central Arizona) belted the longest home run yet this year at the Frank. His two run shot cleared the 383 sign in centerfield and lengthened the MoonDog lead to 6-1 at that point. The top six in the MoonDog lineup did most of the work, providing but all but one of the team's hits. Tony Strazzara (San Diego) and Durant added two hits, while KC Serna (Oregon) and Strazzara posted two runs apiece. Ryan Demmin (UW-Oshkosh) secured at least a tie for the league lead in wins, as the southpaw went five innings in allowing just three hits for his fourth win (4-1) of the season. Thunder Bay's (4-18) Tyler Powell (Belmont Abbey) was tagged for six earned runs on 10 hits through five innings as he fell to 0-2 on the season. The Border Cats were fairly silent until the ninth when they staged a mini-rally against Tony Manville (Northern Illinois). The Cats pushed two across after putting their first four men on in the inning, but could not get any closer, as Manville induced a double play to end the game. David Phillips (Ole Miss) and Adam Courcha (New Mexico) posted two hits apiece and Derek Hamblen (Belmont) posted a two-run single in the ninth to pace the Border Cats.
La Crosse 7 – Green Bay 5
Despite jumping out to another early lead against the Loggers, the Bullfrogs were not able to complete the sweep tonight in La Crosse. La Crosse was able to take the second game of the two game series Friday night with a 7-5 victory at Copeland Park. John Semel (Chapman U.) drove in an early run for the Bullfrogs and pitcher Derrick Pankow (Concordia) was able to keep the Loggers scoreless until the 5th inning. But things changed in the bottom of the 5th inning when the Loggers scored six runs and took the lead and never looked back. The Loggers produced 5 hits in the 5th capped off by a two- run home run by Brandon Meredith (San Diego St.) Leading the way for the Loggers tonight was Meredith who went 1-4 with 2 RBI's as well as Aaron Gates (Pepperdine) who went 2-2 with a double and a triple while scoring two runs. Starting pitcher Richie Erath (Florida Gulf Coast) picked up his first win of the season to even his record at 1-1.
Battle Creek 2 – Eau Claire 2 (Ssp. 9th Inn.)
Thunderstorms halted the game in the bottom of the ninth, and the game will have to be finished the next time the Eau Claire Express come to town. The Bombers and Express are tied, 2-2. The Bombers offense came out hot, with shortstop Doug Otto (VCU) hitting a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first. Right fielder Chris Lewis (Western Michigan) also scored a run in the first inning, but that was all the offense the Bombers would get tonight. The Bombers were unable to move a runner to third base after the first, giving the Express the chance to come back. The Express manufactured 2 runs in the fourth and sixth innings, tying the game up at 2-2. In the fourth, catcher Aaron Fujiki (San Diego State) picked up an RBI with a sac fly, and in the sixth right fielder Bobby Rinard (Yavapai) brought in a run on a ground out to second. The Express used small ball last night in a come from behind victory over the Bombers, and that has been a major reason for their league best record. The Express return to Battle Creek on July 25, and tonight's game will be resumed from the bottom of the ninth that afternoon.
St. Cloud 8 – Waterloo 4
Waterloo held a 3-0 lead after one frame, but the visiting St. Cloud Bats came off the mat with a five-run rally over the second and third innings en route to an 8-4 Northwoods League win Friday. St. Cloud (8-14) used the combination of third baseman Blake Cover (Nebraska-Kearney) and left fielder Brian Humphries (Pepperdine) to produce four hits and five RBIs. Waterloo (7-15) was guided on offense by a pair of multiple-hit games from first baseman Michael Giller (Illinois) and third baseman Troy White (Northern Illinois). Pitching-wise, the River Bats' staff held the Blue, Gold and White scoreless on four hits and struck out six between the second and ninth innings.
Madison 4 – Wisconsin 1
Matt Morgan (Purdue) impressed all 5,474 in attendance at the "Duck Pond" on Friday night by striking out a season-high 10 batters over six innings of work and propelling the Mallards to a 4-1 win over South Division rival, Wisconsin. Madison (16-6) gained momentum heading into their week-long road trip by winning its second game in a row. Morgan (2-0) and the Mallards endured a one hour rain delay prior to the start of the game, but were unfazed. "We were able to come out of the rain delay, keep focused and get the job done even though the conditions weren't what we had hoped for going in," Morgan said. The right-hander led his squad to a much-needed win at home and his teammates followed suit by spotting him a run in the first inning. After Morgan struck out the side in the top half of the first, Kurtis Muller (Iowa) led off the bottom half of the inning with a single that led to the Mallards first run of the game. Adam McClain (Memphis) slugged an RBI double over the head of center fielder Chad Wright (Kentucky) to drive Muller in, making it 1-0 Mallards. Wisconsin's Mike Mutchesun (New Mexico JC) led off the second with a deep blast over the fence in left field for his first home run of the season and tied the game at 1 apiece. Morgan settled down after that, striking out a pair before ending the inning without further damage. Wisconsin starter Terrance Jackson (Oklahoma City) answered with two strikeouts of his own in retiring the side in order in the bottom of the second and a strikeout dual would ensue. Morgan answered back in the third when he struck out the side for a second time. The Purdue sophomore had nine strikeouts through three innings. In the Mallards' half of the third, McClain drew a one out walk, advanced to second on a wild pitch and then advanced to third base on Harold Riggins' (NC State) ground out. Jackson's third wild pitch of the game allowed McClain to scamper home for the go-ahead run making it 2-1 Mallards. Madison added two insurance runs in their half of the fifth, giving Morgan and the Mallard pitching staff all the support they needed. The Wisconsin (7-14) sixth was the only inning Morgan failed to record a strikeout, but he did manage to retire the side in order thanks to a couple of key defensive plays by Jacob Esch (Georgia Tech) and Tyson Blaser (Iowa). Mark Ginther (Oklahoma State) and Denny Clement (Texas A&M) shut down the Woodchucks the rest of the way, surrendering just three hits over three innings of work. Clement then earned his third save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning.

21 arrested over Gulen links in Turkey's Afyon
by TurkeyPurge | May 20, 2018 | Today in Crackdown
Twenty-one people in Turkey's Afyon province were jailed pending trial over their alleged ties to the Gulen movement, media reported on Friday.
On May 9, police carried out operations at 28 locations in Afyon in order to detain 36 people suspected of Gulen ties. At least 34 of the suspects were rounded up during the operations that mostly targeted those who have been in hiding in the face of the Turkish government's post-coup crackdown against Gulenists.
Media said police seized 18 forfeited IDs and 81 cell phones along with some money during the operations.
21 of the 34 detainees were put behind bars pending trial on Gulen links.
The Turkish government blames the Gulenists for the July 15, 2016 failed coup while the latter denies involvement.
More than 150,000 people including thousands of academics, teachers, judges, lawyers and may from other professions have passed through police custody and over 80,000 of them have been jailed pending trial since the summer of 2016.
Some 150,000 have lost their jobs and the government cancelled their passports as well.
Thousands of others are known to be in hiding across Turkey. Media earlier reported on many people who were arrested with fake IDs on them they would carry to avoid imprisonment.

Happy Valentines Day To All Of You!
Bright and early Tomorrow morning, Bill will undergo complete shoulder replacement surgery. With one knee already done, many friends are calling him "The Bionic Man." I wrote this poem for him back in 2005, and since it is fall and he's on my mind as we step into another healing adventure together, I thought I'd share it with you.
For those who are waiting to hear Part II of my love story, here it is. If you missed Part I you can read it here.
As that summer moved into late June and early July, a few interesting things began to happen. Bill invited me to join the gang (Russ and all the kids) for a movie on a Friday night. I was tired and not thrilled about being with a whole bunch of people, especially kids, but decided, Hey, why not. It's an opportunity to get out and do something different, instead of sitting around here at home.
Yikes, I thought. Then Russ piped up and said "I'm not going to that crap. I'm going to see Hud, with Paul Newman, Melvyn Douglas, and Patricia Neal.
Which movie do you think I chose? You guessed it. I went to see Hud, with Russ, I had no inkling that Bill's invitation to the movies was supposed to be a date. Would you have thought it was a date? With a bunch of kids in tow?
We spent the rest of the summer, going to shows at Vermont's abundant summer theatre venues, ate luscious dinners together, and went to the movies alone now and then. I liked Bill a lot and began joining the gang for Friday night movies regardless of what they were going to see.
I'm not exactly sure of the exact moment that love sruck, but Bill became my best friend who listened to me and understood me. Best of all he loved my crazy family and they loved him. Bill and my father, argued philosophy and politics at the dinner table. And there were times when I thought Mom and Dad cared more about him than they cared about me.
When September rolled back around, Bill went back to New York City, to finish his masters at Columbia's Teachers College. He was interested in international education and his dream was to open or be involved in a secondary school with kids from all over the world.
I went back to school as well, and resumed my job as a waitress and chambermaid at the Lodge. I stopped dating anyone else, and put all of my energy into my classes.
I missed Bill terribly and before long we were talking on the phone most evenings. Bill drove the four or five hours to Vermont for long weekends and school holidays. He'd put more work into the Round House, and we spent time hiking in the mountains and skiing when snow fell. He stayed at our house, not the lodge, and my father even allowed me to go down to New York to visit him. The big caveat was I had to stay in a hotel whose clientele were only women. The name of the place now escapes me, but it must have been one of last vestiges of the Victorian era. And knowing my father was not above checking up on me in his own sneaky way, I did stay there … at night.
The most memorable trip to see Bill was the day John F. Kennedy was killed. I was on the bus just outside of the city, when at one of the stops, a Trailways employee stepped up on the bus and announced that Kennedy had been killed. All of us on the bus were in shock, many of us in tears. Bill and I spent the next few days together glued to the television set, grieving the loss of the young and bright shining star who would lead us into a glorious future.
If nothing else can pull a couple together it is the processing of grief and loss. Through the sadness, we talked about getting married. At Christmas I had a ring on my left hand and traveled to Washington, DC, where Bill's folks lived.
I had one more year of school to finish up. Bill, done with his Masters, applied for several teaching jobs in Vermont. He was hired as an English teacher and dorm master at St. Johnsbury Academy, in the northeast corner of the state, about an hour and a half away from Killington. We spent the next year talking on the phone when we weren't together, and on June 19th, 1965, a few weeks after I graduated from Castleton, Bill and I were married.
I don't know where the years have gone. Some think that after 50 years together, some couples get tired of each other. Of course, we've had our not so good times, but we always worked our way through the problems. We still talk every day when we're off in different corners of the world and always look forward to being together again. There is of course more to my story, and maybe over time I'll have more stories for you.
Do check back here next Tuesday to learn about my monthly newsletter, which I'll start sending out in October.
A few weeks ago on her blog, my friend Shirley Showalter, told the story about how her parents met and fell in love. She asked me in her reply to my comment, how Bill and I met. So here it is for all the world to see.
I was attending Castleton State Teachers College, now Castleton University, just outside of Rutland, Vermont. I lived at my dad's ski lodge, The Summit Lodge, in Killington, one of Vermont's newest and upcoming ski areas at the time. I commuted to school, and waited tables at night at the lodge. When there weren't enough chambermaids about, I cleaned toilets, made beds, and did all the stuff that being in the hospitality business is all about. I wasn't crazy about the work. But it was what I did to pay my way through college.
I wasn't dating anyone seriously, but flirted with Bob, another college student who washed dishes at the lodge whenever school was on break. He wanted a serious relationship with me, but I wasn't interest. He was one of twelve kids, and told me he wanted a huge family like his own. I didn't really know what I wanted, but I knew it wasn't a whole bunch of kids. I loved learning, being in school, and didn't want to limit myself to changing diapers, housekeeping, and chopping wood all winter in the mountains of Vermont.
Being New Year's Eve, the dining room was filled with skiers of all ages, shapes and sizes, celebrating the end of another year. Outside the snow was piled high and still falling. The wind was cold, whistling down the chimneys and occasionally bringing in big puffs of smoke that were supposed to be traveling upward and out, not back into the room.
Tired of the holiday rush, waiting on tables, and connecting with the public, all I wanted was for everyone to go celebrate somewhere else, so I could relax instead of being constantly at someone else's beck and call.
As the dining room was clearing out, my father introduced me to a couple from New Jersey, who were there skiing with their kids … and their daughter's boyfriend. I had served their table.
That was the first time I laid eyes on Bill. He was tall, handsome, had dreamy blue eyes, and a cute chin dimple that I liked. That was it. No wedding bells rang. Cupid was off shooting his arrows somewhere else.
I didn't see him again until May, when school was out. In the meantime, my dad had finished building us a house separate from the lodge, so that we could have some privacy as a family. We'd moved in to our new home during the early spring.
I was aware that Bill had been staying at the lodge occasionally and had become friends with my father who helped him purchase a piece of land, where Bill wanted to build his own private ski house. But I hadn't seen him or talked to him.
Working as a cashier at one of the grocery stores in Rutland for the summer, I was bored out of my mind and trying to save up more money. One day after work, as I walked through the front door of my house, Bill stepped out of the bathroom off the hallway, freshly showered.
Everyone wants this part of the story to be different, but trust me, he was DRESSED in jeans, a tee shirt, and hiking boots.
The Round House as it stands today under it's newest owners.
It turned out he was in the area for the summer. He and one of his college roommates at Princeton, an architect, were beginning to build the ski house they'd both been dreaming about. It was to be round and made out of stone. They were camped out at the house sight in a huge tent furnished with cots, a refrigerator, a telephone, and a tiny television set. But there was no shower and since the creek at the bottom of the property was icy cold, my dad had kindly invited them to shower at our house anytime.
Bill hired both of my brothers as gophers to dig holes, move rocks, and do whatever needed doing as the building process began. Reid couldn't have been more than ten years old, which would have made Zed fourteen. He paid them a dollar an hour and as a bonus, took them and three or four other kids he'd also hired to the movies in Rutland every Friday night.
Bill and Russ, his roommate, were frequent shower users at my house and often stayed for dinner. My mother, a fabulous cook, loved their oohs and aahs over the food she prepared, which guaranteed them seats at our dinner table whenever they were around … which was a lot of the time.
They were both really nice guys, but I wasn't shopping at the time. It was a period of my life when I spent my time as one of the walking dead. I worked by day and went home to my parents home, bored and wishing I was anywhere else. School was out for the summer so I wasn't seeing anyone I knew. But having left school after my freshman year to go back to Long Island to work and figure out what I wanted to do with my life, all I wanted now was to get my degree, go off on my own, and find a teaching job somewhere far away and hopefully interesting. I didn't want to live at home with my parents and never dreamed I would find love in the mountains of Vermont.
Oh, Darn. There isn't enough room here to tell you what happened next, because the love hadn't started yet. So you'll just have to wait until next week to find out how our first date worked out and how a VW bus full of kids helped me find the love of my life.
Oh, and forgive my use of current photos. After searching through many boxes I discovered that Bill and I weren't using cameras very much at that time.


Microsoft Word Intruder is a kit designed to build malicious Microsoft Word documents for use in targeted attacks.
This malware supports a wide variety of factors that exploit unsuspecting victims via crafted Microsoft Word documents.
It is available on the black market, and is used in Phishing and scam emails sent with the intention of infecting the receiving device.
The malicious attachments are sent to unknowing victims disguised as important or well-known companies or organisations, to coax you into opening the infected file.
Mark James, ESET IT Security Specialist, discusses how organisations can mitigate these emails and protect their users.
"We often see infected Word documents embedded into emails as phishing or scam emails trying to trick the public into opening them to view invoices or tax returns.
"The email will usually have an enticing subject line trying to give you something for free or scare you into opening the attached document.
"The document may appear to not actually do anything but install malware in the background, or in some cases just display useless information, but by that time it's often too late.
"Organisations should have policies in place that deal with not only Word macros, but rules on attachments: that is the best way to combat this type or malware delivery.
"Educating users on the dangers of opening anything embedded in emails or utilising some kind of quarantine situation where they are opened in a secure environment to test their legitimacy may be needed to protect the business or individual.
"Making sure you have a good regular updating multi-layered security solution to protect you against these types of threats will help.
"The problem is this type of delivery process works all too often, utilising your staff to be an integral aspect of your company's security through knowledge and education is the way forward.
"We do seem to be seeing more and more of these types of kits becoming more widely used. The availability of "off the shelf" kits to distribute Malware is making it possible for almost anyone to distribute malware without the need to design it yourself.

As International Privacy Day is Celebrated, Governments Continue to Chip Away at Privacy Rights
"Effective data protection is vital for our democracies and underpins other fundamental rights and freedoms." - Viviane Reding, Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship.
Last Friday, privacy advocates and government officials in countries across the world celebrated the 5th annual International Privacy Day — even as individual privacy is threatened by surveillance proposals and security breaches worldwide. This day commemorates the first legally binding international agreement on data protection – the Council of Europe's Convention 108- which was opened for signature on January 28th, 1981. Last week's celebration marked the 30th anniversary of Convention 108, which has served as a foundation for many countries' national data protection laws. It is an opportunity to raise public awareness about privacy threats and to urge governments to protect citizen's privacy rights.
In Europe, the celebration highlighted citizens' rights with respect to collection and processing of their personal data. Several events organized by governmental and privacy advocates drew attention to the value of privacy in our societies. The European Court of Human Rights joined the celebration by compiling some of its key judgments protecting citizens' privacy rights. The European Data Protection Supervisor, an independent authority tasked with ensuring that EU authorities and bodies comply with EU rules on data protection and privacy, celebrated the occasion by calling attention to the need for governments to set the right balance between security and the protection of fundamental rights. It emphasized that "authorities should only collect information for specific purposes," and criticized attempts to create enormous databases of personal information "just in case" of a crime, promoting instead the concept of targeted data collection. This comes even as the European Commission is revising their Mandatory Data Retention Directive, a framework that allows blanket surveillance of traffic data on private citizens' online activities.
In the U.S., the Senate expressed support for the designation of January 28, 2011 as U.S. National Data Privacy Day for the third year in a row. It is a welcome gesture, if no somewhat ironic, given that the U.S. Congress is discussing legislation that undercuts the fundamental principles of individual privacy they purport to celebrate. (If you need a refresher, see CALEA II, USA PATRIOT Act renewal, data retention mandates and the much-discussed cybersecurity bill).
Celebrations were also held in Canada, Mexico, UK, Nepal, among others. In Nepal, Privacy Nepal urged the Nepalese government to pass the Data Protection Act to safeguard the privacy of Nepalese citizens. They further raised their concerns about the national ID card, and the dangers posed to citizens' privacy rights.
Much of International Privacy Day rightly focuses on the advances established by critical moments in history, but it is clear that all governments around the world must move quickly and more aggressively to truly improve privacy as we move into the future. Despite the high degree of theoretical protection for privacy and private communications in international law and national Constitutions, in recent times we have seen an increase of legal exceptions, lack of enforcement of privacy laws while the threats to citizens' privacy multiply.
For example, increasingly ubiquitous online surveillance technologies undermine the legal protections for privacy. While there has been a significant expansion in the volume of personal data that is being collected and stored by third party providers, mechanisms to ensure that law enforcement agencies are only granted access to that data in appropriate circumstances have not kept pace. Mandatory data retention regimes to force ISPs and telecom providers to log information about users' online activities and communications are an overwhelmingly invasive and costly mandate with serious privacy and free expression implications. And hard lessons about the cost of the failure to protect privacy are already being learned, as we've seen in Iran and Tunisia. Political activists in authoritarian regimes have used social networking tools to rejuvenate and empower democratic participation, collaboration, and freedom of expression, but those same tools also give authoritarian governments new ways to identify and track political activists that they wish to silence.
For these reasons, we believe that governments around the world need to take urgent action to give real meaning to the right to privacy and to protect citizens' personal data from these new threats.
EFF calls upon governments worldwide to:
Repeal the EU Data Retention Directive, and any mandatory data retention regime that requires ISP to preemptively record traffic data about the online activities of millions of citizens who haven't committed any crime.
Provide strong safeguards against government intrusion of individuals' information stored in third party providers, especially cloud service providers.
Provide strong safeguards against government intrusion of individuals' transactional data such as the location of your cell phone, click stream data revealing the web sites you visit, and search logs indicating what you searched when using search engines. Monitoring of this information is just as invasive as reading your email or listening to your phone calls.
These long-overdue reforms would be a first attempt to bring privacy protection back in line with the strong policies and traditions first established by International Human Rights Law. We look forward to continuing our work with privacy advocates on these issues, and hope to see governments and industries live up to the promise of better privacy and greater freedom.
