3 Excerpts from Comments
My take on the "Pro Authors Who Don't Like Fanfic" rants... is a 2010 essay by rap541.
It is a response to Professional Writers vs. The People Who Love Their Work, Round Umpty-Snout, which in turn was a response to Someone Is Angry On the Internet and Fan-Fiction and Moral Conundrums.
Some Topics Discussed
George R.R. Martin, Anne McCaffrey
the inevitable pointing out of a fandom that's weirder than yours, as well as intense over-exaggeration and strawmanning "[There's] five zillion of Oskar Schindler humping the Nazi (yes, yes there's Schindler's List fanfic").)
authorial intent
hypocrisy regarding fans complaining about other fans using their fanworks, and then complaining that pro authors don't have the same rights and feelings
shared universes, responsefics, remixes, unauthorized sequels
The Essay
I recently read someone else's rant on this topic. I'm not saying who, because frankly, I don't feel like engaging in a flame war on the topic but the opinions I saw expressed really surprised me. Oh, and read at your own risk.
Let's remove the legality issue.
Let's just say that a professional author doesn't like his or her work co-opted by fanfic authors.
Why is that offensive? How is this in any way different than how fanfic authors act?
I mean, honestly folks, I've written fanfic for decades. Let me tell you how petty and ugly and unpleasant people are over their "creations". I've seen fanfic authors throw raging fits over other fanfiction authors daring to use "their origanal characters". Yes, sometimes its plagiarism, and sometimes its homage and/or another author being so taken and impressed that they want to build from what the first author created... which is the same arguement fanfic writers make to the pro author.
By rights, fellow fanfic authors, I can rewrite your entire story, use your origanal characters however I like... and you have no right to say boo. Let alone pitch a fit. You put your work out there, I'm not profiting on it, and if I do it better, thereby depriving you of internetz adoration, fame, and BNF status... well, I did it better, so suck it. Sure you originated "x doing y in universe a" but if you didn't have to ask Pro Author for permission to play in their playground, why am I the heinous thieving bastard for not begging your permission to expand on your *fan fiction*. I mean.... I have to be honest, I am not that invested in this arguement, but I do tire of the fanfic writers flouncing about how horrified they are when someone *steals* from them, and causes them severe mental trauma because they weren't asked permission to allow an unofficial sequal that is completely not what they wanted!
I consider it a courtesy to ask and usually won't go ahead with a project if a fellow fanfic author doesn't allow me permission to use their work... but considering that pro authors are expected to bend over and smile when their work is touched... I really hope at the very least fanfic writers can see that the big bad pro authors aren't the only ones who act like immature arrogant greedyguts with their toys.
Because really, I have seen too many rants on *theft in fanfic* to find it credible that pro authors are unreasonable, but fanfic authors own their ideas and must be granted the courtesy of permission lest the offender risk a major flame war.
Excerpts from Comments
[ingridmatthews]:
No one is saying that an author requesting that no fanfic be posted of their work is offensive.
However, the comparisons of fanfic writers to thieves, murderers, child molesters, rapists and serial killers is kinda, you know, annoying, especially when they come out of nowhere, even worse, when there is no fanfiction of that particular author's work to begin with. Also, a lot of these writers have published fanfiction - Shakespeare and Dr. Who pastiches, not to mention those writers who got their start writing Star Trek or Star Wars novels. Hello, pot/kettle much?
As for fanfic writers who are possessive of their OOCs? Well, that kind of lack of self-awareness and hypocrisy is laughable, I don't think you'll find to many right-minded ficcers who'll disagree with that one.
[rap541]:
I can point you to a rant that pretty much calls a unprofessional and a crybaby who misses the adoration, and that fanfic writers have done tons better etc etc etc. Thats pretty much calling it offensive in my book.
I don't particularly care for the "my book was raped" allusions either - but I know my opinion on this sort of hysteria isn't popular. It's clearly not meant literally and the pure vitriol being flung at pro authors seems excessive.
I've seen fanfic authors be possessive over nicknames they've created for characters they didn't create. I've had too many people very very carfefully ask me to give the ok on star trek/bsg crossovers to think that its occuring simply because *I* am a bitch. In fact I am not, and I always say yes to suchg requests.... but if the author is a jerk and nasty douche (hey RDM hee hee hee) to expect such courtesy... I really don't see why I have to ask ANY fanfic author any permission for anything. If I want to sequel someone's work... they quite literally have no right and are wrong to be offended.
[geekbynight]:
I've actually been waiting to hear your take on this whole debacle. Me myself, I only get offended when it's stated that fanfic authors aren't real writers because they aren't published or using their own originally created characters.
Other than that, it's pretty easy to look at both sides of the issues. Especially when you point out here that some fanfic writers make the very same complaints as professional writers.
You know, if I'd written a story like Pet Cemetary (and I use this random one because Stephen King has stated how painful it was to write that book as it was inspired by the death of a family member) which I considered a really intimate book I'm not sure I'd like people writing fanfic based off it. I'd understand why people would and it's nice to know your work still has such an influence over people but I don't see why I'd have to be obligated to be overjoyed by the concept :/
[blue crow]:
Honest, I love it when people use my creations. I get excited when someone takes, say, my ideas on Gaius Baltar and uses them- especially with a credit. I'd love it if someone used my original character, if they credited me with him. And fic always has implied credit- Thanks, Ron, for creating these awesome people that I am about to write porn about!
I guess I sort of feel that fanfic should abide by the following Creative Commons license:
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. Others can download and redistribute your work just like the by-nc-nd license, but they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories based on your work. All new work based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also be non-commercial in nature.
I agree! I love people who want to play in my 'verses. I just don't see, if the pro author doesn't have the right to not like others using their work, why should a fanfic author expect any permission asking or credits?
There IS a complex "you must ask" system of courtesy in fandom regarding other people's work. If we don't have to ask the author of the origanal work.... then why should I give that courtesy to the fanfic author and why are they offended?
[snipped]
...personally I don't really *care* if an author does or doesn't want me to write fanfic in their 'verse. I don't think there's many book writers who really have a *problem* with too many fanfic writers spoiling the stew, so to speak... it seems like tv and movies get the lionshare of the fanfic these days.
That said - I have seen enough horrid and potentially offense fanfic that yes, if I was the origanal creater, I'd be offended by it, and lets not kid ourselves - yes there's a top strata of fanfic where people should be considering pro careers and are writing fantastic stuff.
And then there's the pit of voles. And so much rapefic/sexfic/diaperfetish/feeders/insert gross sex act fic. So its not always *flattering* and its not fair to hold up one or two nicely done fics and ignore the five zillion of Oskar Schindler humping the Nazi (yes, yes there's Shindler's List fanfic)
I don't think anyone wants out right plagiarism, but here's a scenario that happened to me (and that I didn't pitch a fit over although I easily could have). I wrote a BSG fic that some read and gave nice feedback over... and about four or five months later wrote an almost identical fic. As in with one character change and a very slight change of scenario, its essentuially the same story. Do I have the right to be pissed off? According to the "bad authors for not allowing it" folks, no.
Or take your example of not liking when plots are swiped. Or OCs. You don't like it... but if I swipe your ocs and write them better (which of course as an arrogant writer, of course I would do it better ;)) under the current rules, you don't have a right to be pissed off and I as the fan have every right to take what I want, without your permission.
I don't feel strongly on this as I just don't consider it that big a deal... but I really don't think some of the people protesting these authors understand the point they are making. If I can take without asking and deride the professional author I took from for not being a good sport... I can do it to a fanfic writer as well
and I imagine people righting Tom/Aman, who are best friends, or Richard/Sabrina, who are BFF but have no interest in each other, and forget that people are likely to write Felicia/Jesse (brother/sister) or really graphic stuff with my beloved main character raping his children or something
Its sort of interesting to put it in this perspective. I mean in a way- how can you know what's offensive to someone? I know a lot of the shows on the CW right now (SPN, TVD) have very strong brotherslash plotlines that I believe are intentional sexual tension from the writers (to allow the characters to get super close and titillate the fangirls without them having to deal with them being gay because OMG they're brothers!). I think if they saw brotherslash, they'd be pretty much okay with it because they're practically pointing there. There's probably a source author out there who would be offended by someone writing gen between two characters that they thought could only have sex in each others presence, or someone being super-bothered by a kink that someone else considers really normal.
I honestly think that people who write source content should just turn a blind eye to fanfic. They should let it happen and totally ignore it. Because any attempt to say, "I want fandom but I'd like to control it" kind of sounds offputting.
[lls mutant]:
"I want fandom but I'd like to control it" kind of sounds offputting."
You know, it's interesting, because my first fandom was just that. Anne McCaffery laid down some very specific rules for her fandoms. You weren't really allowed to write fic about her characters and a few key places, but you're allowed to write in her world with original characters. She's got some fairly strict (but mostly reasonable) rules about how she sees her world, and the funny thing is, it's worked out well. It's an anomaly, but it's an interesting one.
In the end, I agree about the blind eye. It feels large to us, but the number of fans that actually write fanfic is so small compared to the number of people who read/watch the source material, very little harm will be done. I don't have an issue with authors asking that people not write fanfic, or asking that the hardcore stuff be kept on a site that at least pretends to have some way of keeping out underaged readers. (Especially for something like Harry Potter, where that's an issue.)
[mediumrawr]: I just think it's important to recognize the distinction between "I'm uncomfortable" and "I have a right to go after you."

Lakers or Heat? Chris Paul, Russell Wilson make NBA Finals predictions
Photo: Jayne Kamin-Oncea/USA TODAY Sports

[jwplayer SJvFfL4z-z6KDnl0B]
Perhaps it's not surprising given his close friendship with the star of the team, but Chris Paul thinks the Los Angeles Lakers will win the NBA Finals.
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard revealed his prediction that the Lakers and LeBron James would win the championship when he appeared on DangerTalk, the podcast of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, on Wednesday.
"The Lakers," Paul said. "My brother LeBron over there."
Los Angeles enters the Finals as the favorite. The No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, Anthony Davis and James led the Lakers to 4-1 victories in all three playoff series leading up to the Finals.
But the Heat likely pose the best matchup of any team they've faced this postseason. They have a wealth of versatile defenders, namely Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, and have a deep rotation even in the playoffs.
Paul spoke glowingly about the Heat without being prompted.
"I play all season long and there's sometimes we lose games, and I'll be like, 'Man, we should have beat them' … One of the losses this year, when we lost to this team, I was like, 'Man. They beat us. They beat us bad.'" Paul said.
"… It was Miami. Miami. And they, they just beat the hell out of us. And it wasn't like we were just missing shots and all that. They had all these little tricks … They just played so good together as a team."
Oklahoma City lost to Miami this season on Jan. 17. The Heat scored 40 points in the first quarter, and it was never really a contest afterward even though the Thunder cut the score to single-digits in the fourth quarter. Seven different Heat players scored double-digit points yet none scored more than 22.
Chris Paul began online class at HBCU on the same day playoffs began
Two former Thunder players are on NBA Finals rosters
Paul said there are some teams that if you slow down the star and force other players to make shots, they're beatable.
The Heat and the Denver Nuggets are two teams who, in Paul's experience, are major exceptions.
"Miami's on a whole nother level cause they don't have a guy you know is going to drop 20, 25 (points) every game," he said.
Yet even though the best way to stop the Lakers is to stop James, that's easier said than done.
James, entering his 10th finals appearance, has the most points and steals, third-most assists, sixth-most rebounds and second-most 3-pointers in playoff history.
He now has star center Davis next to him.
Paul thinks the Lakers can win their 17th championship as a franchise.
Wilson went with the Heat, but he didn't sound convinced. He acknowledged that he was choosing them publicly more to make things more interesting with Paul as his guest.
"I don't know man, I think LeBron's gonna win it, but I'm gonna go with the Heat just to make it interesting in a six-game, seven-game series," Wilson said.
Miami Heat may end up regretting not finalizing Danilo Gallinari trade

By now it's no secret that I have been working on vid.io with my good friend Todd. For the next few months we are working with some select customers rethinking the entire video management paradigm. Would love to tell more publicly, but going to keep our heads down till the right moment. If you wish to discuss privately, my new email is r at vid.io.
That is a real life photo of Coder Rob. He practices Zen but only to forget answers that he solves that MIT professors post on blackboards, just to keep them challenging.
just checked the vidIQ site. It looks interesting and i have bookmarked the site for future use.
I have been looking all over for this website…i believed I had bookmarked it a week ago but could not find it and it was a pain to get your blog once again.
Have a great content you have placed here really informative.
It truly was a very frustrating condition in my position, but being able to view the skilled approach you managed the issue forced me to cry over happiness. Now i am grateful for your work and as well , hope that you recognize what a powerful job you have been providing educating other individuals thru your web page. Most likely you haven't met all of us.
Have fun with the rest of the year. You're conducting a pretty cool job.Thank you for your own work on this site. My mother take interest in participating in investigation and it's easy to see why.
One more thing. In my opinion that there are many travel insurance internet sites of respectable companies that permit you to enter a trip details and obtain you the quotations.
A guy isn't a carton of ice cream that you accidentally bought at the market. A boyfriend is a serious matter. Right?
Thanks! The great content you have placed here is really informative.

Arbroath smokies originate in Auchmithie, a small fisihing village 3 miles north of Arbroath – a town on the East coast of Scotland just north of Dundee.
Arbroath Smokies are traditionally tied in pairs and hung over a triangular "kiln stick"
It's not the only thing that Arbroath is famous for, there's also the Declaration of Arbroath. Drawn up on April 6th 1320 and signed by 38 Scots lords it was a plea to the Pope to take Scottish independence from England seriously and the Pope duly accepted. I bet the Scottish National Party wish that it was as simple as that these days!
Here endeth the History lesson and now back to the Smokies and what makes an Arbroath Smokie?
The fish isn't anything special, you can use either haddock or whiting (although most would argue that haddock is traditional), what is special however is the way that the fish is prepared and the smoking process.
Arbroath Smokies and Finnan Haddock (also known as Finnan Haddie) both originate from the East coast of Scotland and both start off with freshly caught haddock. The fundamental difference is that the Arbroath Smokie is hot smoked (cooked) and ready to eat whereas Finnan Haddie is cold smoked and therefore needs cooking before eating.
The fish is gutted and the head removed but the belly and tail remains intact so the raw Smokie looks like any other gutted fish.
The raw Smokies are then paired up and tied at the tail using hemp twine, this is so the fish can then be hung on the kiln stick (a triangular rod on which the fish are smoked) so that one fish hangs on one side of the rod and the other fish in the air hangs on the other side.
Traditionally the smoking was done over a hard wood smoke in barrels that had been sunk into the ground. The lid was placed on the barrels and then any parts of the barrel that was exposed would be covered in wet jute sacks to maintain a humid atmosphere.
The final product has a dark tarry appearance but this is really impossible to replicate without making the inside of your smoker dark and tarry too so having a dedicated smoke cabinet for hanging fish is definitely an advantage.
I built my own cabinet specifically for fish and it works a treat. If you wish to do the same then I've written up easy to follow homemade BBQ smoker plans which you can buy for a $9.95. All you need are some basic woodworking skills and you could be up and running in a couple of weeks.
Assuming that you have gutted your haddock and removed the head then it's a three stage process.
Haddock is a lean fish so the brining need not take that long (compared with mackerel for example), just 30- 40 minutes in a 80% brine is enough for thorough salt penetration.
Click here to learn more about brining and use my Brine Solution Concentrations to learn how to make a brine of a certain concentration.
After brining the fish should be hung to dry for 2-4 hours. I do this in the smoker cabinet so in essence the fish is hung on the rods in preparation for smoking but I don't apply any heat just yet. I also leave the door to the cabinet slightly ajar to allow air to flow.
Cool smoke (86°F or 30°C) for 30 minutes – I do this with an electric element in my home made smoker.
Warm smoke (160°F or 71°C) for a further hour – to maintain this temperature I use the frying pan over the gas burner.
It's this third stage that produces the really dense smoke and the deep color and at the end of the hour your Smokies are ready.
Eat them warm or cold.
Note: in 2004 the Arbroath Smokie achieve protected status under the European Union's Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) scheme which is designed to protect food names. As such, you can only commercially make and sell Arbroath Smokies within a 5 mile (8 kilometre) radius of Arbroath, so you can make your own homemade Arbroath Smokies for your own consumption by using my guide but don't sell them!


The February report is available from the Ocala Marion County Association of Realtors (OMCAR) report. Please email our office for the report.
Last month, The Marion County Building Industry Association held the 2015 Spring Parade of Homes.
The Spring and Fall Parades allow local builders to display their top home designs and floor plans as model homes to the community, potential new homebuyers and those who can appreciate a beautiful home.
This year's event included 21 builders and 31 home entries -an increase from last year. New home construction has also shown an increase in the past two years, and some predict new homes will continue to increase in 2015. Mortgage rates also continue to stay in the lower range, making it more appealing to those considering building a new home.
Floor plans ranged from 1,600 square feet to upwards of 4,000 square feet, providing variety in the types and price ranges of homes offered. The Grand Award went to "The Richmond" by Center State Construction Inc. "The Richmond" offered 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a 3-car garage, providing more than 3,200 square feet of living space. With attractive wood ceilings, gourmet kitchen, spa master bath and a 4th bedroom that was large enough to be used as a bonus room, it won the judges over. To see a full list of the winners from the Parade, click here.

People, now-a-days use their Internet connection not only at home or office, but they use many different networks all through the day. For those users, there is DNS Crypt protocol, which utilizes high speed and safety elliptic-curve cryptography. It is very parallel to DNSCurve, but it aims to secure communications of a client with the first-level resolver.
DNS Crypt is a very lightweight application whose goal is to help in protecting the online privacy and safety by encrypting all of the DNS traffic between OpenDNS and the user. The OpenDNS service has, in fact, got its status in the marketplace as one of the major software in providing safety against phishing attacks, or malware, on computers or even tabs. This simple tool works quietly within the system tray by not affecting one's work. When it is used, it reveals just some configuration settings to cooperate with. DNS Crypt can offer the possibility to turn on or turn off its functions, activate or deactivate OpenDNS, and allow the particular function- DNS Crypt over TCP/443 if there is a firewall or some other third-party tools, which handle the packets. The installation of DNS Crypt on any Windows PC, though seems a little technical, it is really simple.
Before the installation of the DNS Crypt, server key fingerprint of DNS should be tested. DNS Crypt app is comparable to VPN services, which can be toggled on and off if there is a requirement of any extra security. When the app is installed, a box will appear where the words- Enable DNS Crypt is written. After doing this, the system will be configured to use the OpenDNS for all the requests of DNS. If the OpenDNS is used on the router, and all of the computers in any house are pointed to the router for DNS, then also the DNS Crypt can be used.
DNS Crypt Windows Service Manager is a little program that will help to set up DNS Crypt as a type of service, arrange it and adjust the settings of network adapter DNS to utilize DNS Crypt. DNScapy is another DNS tunneling device. The code is extremely light and is written in Python. It comprises a server in addition to a client. This server can manage more than one client. It makes a SSH tunnel with DNS packets.
DNS Crypt is easy software, which everyone can use to increase online privacy and protection. DNS Crypt turns usual DNS traffic to the encrypted DNS traffic, which is protected from spying and spoofing. It does not need any alterations to domain names. The software has the possibility to be the most effective development in Internet protection since SSL, considerably improving the online security of every user.
is the product of OpenDNS, which is one of the leading providers of security in Internet and DNS services, allowing the world to use Internet system with confidence.

This article was written in 1933 for the Elizabethtown Chronicle. It details the town via the memories of one of its then oldest citizens, George Boggs. This memory, despite the title, now takes us back 159 years. We have left the article unedited, but have added numbers to it that correspond to locations mentioned on the map, to help the reader accommodate for changes since 1933. The map is from the 1864 Lancaster County Atlas, the closest map we have to George's discussion of 1858 Elizabethtown.
ELIZABETHTOWN 75 YEARS AGO (1858)
By George D. Boggs – – November 17, 1933
George D. Boggs, one of Elizabethtown's oldest citizens, writes the following for the Chronicle:
"Seventy-five years ago Elizabethtown was a borough of about 700 population. Looking back, I see many changes, some of which I will comment upon. On the west of South Market Street, below the residence of A.G. Heisey (1), there were but two houses, now occupied by Hershey's grocery store (2) and the residence of David Martin (3). East of South Market, below the residence of Mr. Leicht (4), there was one house. On Bainbridge Street, one house and railroad station (5) and Mother Ross' orchard and an immense hickory tree.
North Market Street, west side: The Old Bear Tavern (6), then used as a farm house, now owned and occupied by Dr. Vere Treichler, and the M.B. Keller residence (7). No other houses. East High Street; north side, above the Lutheran Church (Still there), four houses and the little United Brethren Church (8). On the east side, the Naille home, opposite the Lutheran Church, two houses, West High Street, no houses beyond Dr. Fearn's (9). South side, no buildings beyond Stone Bridge (10). South Poplar Street was opened for two blocks, but no buildings. North Poplar, Park, Washington and other streets that are now opened and built up, was all farm land. Among the old residents, I find Peter Force, a shoemaker. I knew him well. He was a veteran of the War of 1812, and was powder-boy on Commander Perry's ship on the battle of Lake Erie. He is buried in our own cemetery and his grave is decorated by the G.A.R. Col. A Greenawalt, a prominent landlord and land-owner, and an excellent entertainer. Travelers would come for miles to stop at the "Greenawalt House" to hear a good story of the old colonel's. He would tell of George Washington, that a bullet was not made to kill him; at the battle of Brandywine a cannonball struck him on the breast, glanced off and caved in the gable-end of a Quaker meeting-house; George W. Boyer, jolly landlord of the Black Horse Hotel, whose laugh could be heard far and near. The Old Black Horse Hotel, an old log house with little crooked windows, stood where the garage and residence now is, South Market Street, next to the present Black Horse Hotel (11). Amos Harmony, the good friend of all children. All the boys and girls would go to Uncle Amos and his good wife for sweet apples, and to the Wealand farm (12) (now owned by Benjamin Lehn) for cherries. They had a long row of ox-heart, early red and black cherry trees along the lane. Joseph Clinton, a peculiar man, who had an acid tongue and knew how to use it. Dan May Shoemaker to whom the children would be sent for strap oil and would get it.
Joseph Strauss, a Jew, who was a good Christian when in his cups and a Jew when sober. There were many more old citizens who had their peculiarities, but all have passed to the great beyond.
The old Stone Arch bridge on West High Street, crossing the Conoy Creek was built in 1800. This I have from Esq. Byrod, long dead, aged 90. On the corner of the Square where the Horst building stands, was an old one-story shed-roof building which was occupied by a negro barber named George Harris, the only negro who resided here, and a German Shoemaker (13). He trusted everybod, never kept accounts, saying "they knew they owed him, why should he be worried with keeping books?"
There were public pumps, the old wooden kind, made of logs. On the sidewalks, viz., at the front of Black Horse Hotel (1), Engine House, Mrs. John C. Redsicker's, Fletcher's Corner Greenawalt Hotel (14), Horst's corner, Fisher's corner.
"Cows and pigs roamed the streets and alleys those days; immense flocks of wild pigeons flew over the town in autumn.
"Peter Shaeffer, a Revolutionary soldier, is buried in the Lutheran church-yard. The Redsecker family was one of the oldest residents of the town and were prominent in history. Mother Ross, a very aged lady, who was a Redsecker, told me I could look to the east and to the west of town as far as I could see and her father owned the land.
"The Fire company has an old hand fire engine. It was old when I came to town and must be much over one hundred years old now. The boys formed a fire company, we called it the "Hope Fire Company" and claimed the old engine was ours. I was Treasurer of the company and have still fifteen cents in the treasury.
"Note No. 1 – Speaking of wild pigeons, reminds me of old George Hein, who lived close to town. I knew him. On a Sunday, Hein went to shoot wild pigeons. He was a member of the Reformed church. The minister heard of his recollection and considered his duty to call Hein to account. He said to him, "I heard you were shooting pigeons on Sunday. Do you not know your duty was to be at Church?" Hein replied, Parson, when the pigeons are here you must shoot them or else they fly away; now the church is there and stays there and I can go at any time. How the matter ended I cannot say."

Q: HttpListener with SSL certificate hanging on GetContext() I've created a windows service which uses a HttpListener to respond to some third-party requests using .NET Framework 4.0. The listener is bound to a https prefix via the following:
listener.Prefixes.Add("https://+:" + Properties.Settings.Default.ListeningPort.ToString() + "/");

The service also self registers the https certificate in the computer store via:
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(Properties.Settings.Default.HttpsCertPath, "", X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet);
X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreLocation.LocalMachine);
store.Open(OpenFlags.ReadWrite);
store.Add(certificate);
store.Close();

Further more, the service also registers the certificate - ip:port binding in Http API using the following:
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "netsh";
psi.Arguments = "http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:" + Properties.Settings.Default.ListeningPort.ToString() + " certhash=" + certificate.Thumbprint + " appid=" + appId;
Process proc = Process.Start(psi);
proc.WaitForExit();
psi.Arguments = "http add sslcert ipport=[::]:" + Properties.Settings.Default.ListeningPort.ToString() + " certhash=" + certificate.Thumbprint + " appid=" + appId;
Process proc = Process.Start(psi);
proc.WaitForExit();

Everything works well, as expected... EXCEPT... (and here comes the EVIL part):
After running for some time, an hour or so, listener.GetContext() no longer returns and the clients get dropped with a "connection reset" like error.

A: After long and painful investigations I discovered that the error was at the HTTP API level and the failure would occur during the SSL handshake, hence the listener.GetContext() not returning at all. Even more, I discovered that with every failed request, in the System log in Windows Event Log, the following errors would get logged:
Source Schannel: A fatal error occurred when attempting to access the SSL server credential private key. The error code returned from the cryptographic module is 0x8009030D. The internal error state is 10001.

and
Source HttpEvent: An error occurred while using SSL configuration for endpoint 0.0.0.0:9799.  The error status code is contained within the returned data.

Further digging into the problem I noticed that once, the private key disappeared from the installed certificate. That, combined with what I read at this link, made me think different. So I gave this a try:
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(Properties.Settings.Default.HttpsCertPath, "", X509KeyStorageFlags.MachineKeySet | X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable | X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet);

Basically, I've put in the X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable (Remember the error you get when creating a SSL binding if you don't mark the certificate as exportable on IIS?) and X509KeyStorageFlags.PersistKeySet flags.
That seems to have done the job. The service has been running for almost two days now and still joyfully accepting incoming connections.
Hope this will spare someone from the trouble I went through.

Charlie Thomas, left, and author Patrick O'Connor sign copies of "Meet Me at Ray's" at Ray's Place on Sunday afternoon in Kent during the book's launch event. "Meet Me at Ray's" features the stories, memories and experiences shared by customers and employees, which were gathered by O'Connor and pieced together with his narrative to show how the beloved bar grew from a tavern into a downtown Kent institution. All proceeds from sales of "Meet Me at Ray's" will go toward a scholarship Thomas set up through Ray's Place in the Kent State University School of Business.


We get a golf cart ride to our room, with our bags. It is still raining. The room is fine, not great, but fine. They had said they could push the two double beds together, but it is obvious that is not possible because the controls for the lights and fan are between the beds. They never come to do it anyway.
There is a sofa in the room, but it interferes with the flow walking to the bathroom. We have to kind of maneuver around it. The bathroom only has one sink and that makes it crowded with all our stuff on the vanity, and makes getting ready take longer because we have to take turns. I know I probably sound like a diva, but I travel enough to know what makes a room comfortable and easy to be in. Most high end hotels have two sinks. I would find out that we were in the low end of the rooms here at the Valentin. That's one of the things about the Grand that I like. All of the rooms are the same. The only rooms there that are larger are the corner suites, the presidential suites and the villas. All the junior suites are exactly the same. The difference is the view.
There was a tiny birthday cake, which confused me, because it wasn't either of our birthdays. The cake wasn't good, so we only took a bite.
And the napkin they ha vewith it is dirty or stained.
My level of being underwhelmed by the Valentin is growing by the minute.
We unpack, dress for dinner and then go meet Chris and Helen and we all walk to one of the bars. It is very nice. Quiet and classy. We sit down and wait for Mary and Ricky. A lady comes over and tells me that she really enjoys my blog. I ask her if she's been to the Grand and she says no. I never expected a rock star moment here! Very cool.
Mary and Ricky arrive and we go to the Italian restaurant for dinner. You can't make reservations (supposedly, more on that later) at the restaurants, so it's just walk in, space available, first come first served. We are seated quickly. The restaurant is full, and very busy and service is slow. This makes me think about the oft repeated complaint at the Grand. People say they couldn't get reservations but they walked by and the restaurant is half full. It's not about the number of tables, it's about the number of staff.
The food is better than average. The wine is a Merlot, and gets better with each glass. I'm not admitting to how many glasses there were.
Zung has soup, I think it was minestrone.
My first course is pasta, which was fairly good. A little bland though.
My entree was fish. The fish was good (fish is always overcooked at the Grand). The sauce was kind of bland.
Zung's was satisfied with his entree.
It is Chris's birthday, and they bring a cake.
I ordered this dessert, which was quite good, but had a lot of cream in it, so I only ate a few bites.
After dinner we go to the bar again for a bit, and then back to the room. The beds are firm. The beds at the Grand are like clouds.
If you are wondering, NO, I am not going to stop comparing every little thing to the Grand.
We read for awhile. The people in the room next door turn their TV on REALLY LOUD. When it becomes apparent that they are not going to turn it down (who does that?) I call the front desk and complain and shortly after that, they do turn it down and we can't hear it anymore.
I know hotels could be much, much worse. However, coming from the Grand, this is a step down. Which I knew it would be. I just didn't expect to have so many aggravations. I am determine to focus on time with friends, and not where it is happening.
I'm a hotel snob, and I admit that fact freely.
Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come.

The Grand really does spoil us, doesn't it! We are planning some other trips in the Caribbean this year and wonder how they will compete. (Family trips) We will probably be glad to be glad to be back to the Grand after Thanksgiving.
Thanks! I took a look at it. I've been to most of the places she talks about. Denver is a great foodie town. It looks like an interesting blog. I'll definitely look at her other posts.
Andrea there is no way the Valentine will compare to the Grand. The price point is pretty much double so I would expect more at the Grand. Everyone that I know that has been to Valentine loved it especially for the price they paid. I hope you decided to make the best of it. I look forward to reading more.
Monica, I have several friends that prepared me for that fact. However, my chief complaints shouldn't really have happened at any resort. But, I'm getting ahead of what I've posted.
Ah ok. I'll stay tuned.
I am not surprised you didn't like it Andrea we went here here a few years ago and hated it, we were supposed to stay for 2 weeks but left after a week and paid to go back to the Grand. the look on there faces when we checked out, they thought we were insane!


"I love looking at images that make me puzzled and make me think twice about what's actually going on. This particular image quickly caught my eye and I am immediately drawn to find out what's going on. Was it one bride and two other junior bridesmaids getting ready together? It didn't take long to figure out that it is a very interesting image of two people assisting the one bride to put the dress one. The image works perfectly in contrasty black and white and the negative space compliments the subjects very nicely revealing the triangle-shaped fluffy dress with the characteristic face of the bride at the top. The right amount of revealing parts of the bride's body and hands of the helpers also make this image very compelling."

Strange issue at Goodsprings Source?
I'm getting odd glitching when I have water effects turned on around Goodsprings source. Not sure what is causing it, but it is pretty noticeable. The only hiccup I've found with this otherwise really stellar mod.
The problem has been fixed with last version. Are you sure you installed last version correctly?


Seeing the story about Jackie Robinson just never gets old. Again the relationship between Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson is so impactful. I have so much respect for both Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson and how they handle all the issues that came with the leap into the color barrier.
See the build up to the "shot heard around the world" was awesome. Understanding the circumstances up to the Bobby Thompson home run, made this game and home run just simply put incredible. Up until this time the Dodgers just could not get into the World Series and to lose it all on the one shot or home run. I could really feel for the Brooklyn Dodgers and Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca. The scene of Ralph Branca face down on the stair in despair is quite moving.
I had such a sense of joy when the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers finally won the World Series. What a great story?
The great struggles between Walter O'Malley and both Branch Rickey & Robert Moses were very enlightening. I did not see what the issues were for making Branch Rickey leave the Dodgers and gotta believe the egos were so great that one had to leave. What would of been had Branch Rickey stayed with Dodgers? However, with Robert Moses conflicts, O'Malley seemed to try and work every angle to find a compromise of the land location for a new ball park. Obviously this was the beginning of the end for the Dodgers in Brooklyn. I can say that I do not blame O'Malley for leaving for greener pastures in Los Angeles. Los Angeles gave him everything. Bring the New York Giants along with him to San Francisco was a stroke of genius.
So if you have a chance to watch the "Brooklyn Dodgers Ghosts Of Flatbush" I would say do it. I was certainly woke up to how the Los Angeles Dodgers came to be in located in Chavez Ravine, Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium.
Highly recommend watching and learning about the Dodgers in "Brooklyn Dodgers Ghosts Of Flatbush."


Attach this chainring to your ZIS-MTB crankarm for use with 1x11 components. This model has 6mm offset which keeps the chainline further in towards the frame. May create clearance issues between chainring and chainstay depending on your bike.
These rings fit SRAM GXP-spindled cranks and Zinn ZIS pro MTB cranks. If you're looking for a ring that helps on punchy singletrack and hills, give one of these elliptical chainrings a try. Its proprietary design has an ovality of 10% and a timing of 112 degrees after top dead center which provide the beneifits of an oval ring without the traditional downsides of oval rings.
⋅ Use an 11-speed or 10-speed chain only.

Forest fires, starting from visitor's campfires and carelessly tossed cigarette buttscause extensive damage. Some trees are killed by very hot fires, and replacement ofmature trees may take hundreds of years.
In many areas, firewood is often in short supply. Many small native animals liveamong fallen branches. In alpine areas where the growing season is short, such habitats are replaced very slowly.
Always try to use a fuel stove when camping. Compared with campfires, fuel stoves are cleaner, a lot easier to use in wet weather, they cook faster and don't scar the landscape. Ensure that your party members have warm clothing and good tents so fires won't be needed for warmth.

Why Did People Settle In The Middle Colonies?
Oscar De La Huerte answered
People who traveled from Europe to America during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries did so for two main reasons:
Better prospects
To avoid social and religious persecution
This was especially the case for people who opted to settle in the Middle Colonies.
This is because this specific area was considered more diverse and tolerant than either the Northern or Southern colonies.
What attracted settlers to the Middle Colonies?
The population of the Middle Colonies was probably more mixed than any other part of the colonies, which made immigration to the area more appealing to a number of people.
Consider the following as proof of the mixed heritage of the Middle Colonies:
The middle colonies were first inhabited by the Dutch, and later taken over by the British.
The majority of eventual settlers to the Middle Colonies came predominantly from Germany (they were mistakenly called the 'Pennsylvania Dutch' because Deutsche means 'German' in German).
Scots and Irishmen also came to the area during the late 18th century.
Because of the mixture of different inhabitants, this area was known for being more open and tolerant of people from other countries and religions.
Why did people go to the Middle Colonies?
Unlike the Middle Colonies, the Northern Colonies were far more religiously closed-minded, and less tolerant of outsiders.
The Southern Colonies were also very different from the Middle Colonies. The booming tobacco crop, rice, and indigo dye industries meant that there was a lot of money to be made there.
This led to a more cut-throat environment, and the wide use of slavery - something that several of the Middle Colonies were against.

I have studied and I learned that people in the Middle Colonies, mostly Quakers ate corn, wheat, and they traded their food to other people to have a verity of food. They made corn cakes and mush. They also made bread out of the wheat.
They had religious freedom and jobs and good soil and mild winters

They were about a brother and sister in a futuristic world where your clothing indicated your status or what class you belonged to. Their father worked in genetics and I can't remember exactly how it goes but I think they end up being cloned or specially designed. They are given a genetically enhanced dog as a guardian. Other things I remember are virtual reality competitions/classes, homes with artificial intelligence and segregated rings of society. I would really love to revisit these books if anyone can help me.
