There is no legitimate reason to put in a button to delete audit trails except to facilitate fraud. It doesn’t happen by accident. I am a computer programmer.

There are legitimate ways to delete audit trails. They should be done by wiping the machine completely and resetting it from a standard system image. There is no legitimate reason to facilitate anything else, not even in development (and if someone’s development code got into live voting machines, someone needs to go to jail).

” Premier had known about the vulnerability for years and even had a workaround for it,

That Premier knew that this capability to delete crucial log information existed despite being a violation of federal standards was surprising, Gideon said. “Audit logs are part of the history of the machine. It is supposed to be there for the life of the system,” he said. “They clearly violated federal requirements, and we have been trying since early December to get the [Election Assistance Commission] to refer this to the Department of Justice.” What was surprising was that “this system was federally certified more than once,” Gideon said. “

since the borer is the larval stage of a butterfly, the only way to beat them that I can think of is using row covers and burying the edges so that the butterfly does not get in underneath to lay her eggs.

We put in a drip irrigation system last year for the herb beds and along the fence where I’m planning on putting the peas and beans. It’s great. I may try the squash in big pots… Good idea. Oh, I forgot to mention that I’ll be planting radishes too.

hehehe…almost started to add previously that I have no idea where all this stuff is gonna go. *GGG* We’re talking beach sand as a growing medium which means a tremendous amount of time and money in any kind of bed development. A lot of it will be put in pots on the deck and because of all the additional stuff, I’ll probably be forced to set up a drip irrigation system with timer. All new deck last year with lots of railing so I’m planning to try training the climbing stuff, like sweet peas, snow peas, etc. up the railings. Should look fabulous…..if it works. Another reason for the deck growing is major deer problems….they’re gonna have to come up a flight of stairs if they wanna eat me outta house and home.

May even try the squash in pots on the deck……do ya think that might avoid those bloody borers?

We’ve got clouds of red wing blackbirds now, which means we’re filling the bird feeders every day. They’re eager eaters, and love peanuts.
