CHECK OUT THE NEW ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR

Founder of Pure Pursuit Automotive

Occupation: Founder of Pure Pursuit Automotive, a boutique sports-car dealership, which recently opened in the Crossroads (1619 Walnut).

Twitter handle: @GlenDakan Hometown: Las Vegas, Nevada (Moved 15 times while in the Navy.)

Current neighborhood: Brookside (Moved to KC two years ago and not looking back!)

What I do: Former Naval aviator turned tech entrepreneur. Gentlemanly interests in cars, planes, boats, music and spirits, just not all at once.

What’s your game? Football to watch (go, Chiefs!), racquetball to play, skis or wakeboards to ride.

What’s your drink? Anything with whiskey in it, from Scotland, Ireland, Japan, the U.S. or anywhere else.

Where’s dinner? My wife cooks great fresh

meals, and we love to check out any and all ethnic places like Indian, Vietnamese and Ethiopian. The more it looks like a gas station and less like a restaurant, the happier we are!

WHERE COOL !

DOGS STAY 7200 WYANDOTTE ST. KANSAS CITY, MO

816.361.3388

What’s on your KC postcard? The view from downtown airport (I’m a pilot!) with the skyline and river in view at sunset.

Finish this sentence: “Kansas City got it right when …” We invested $9B (and climbing) in

one of the largest downtown revitalizations in a large metro and voted to begin the streetcar rail.

“Kansas City screwed up when …” We didn’t extend the streetcar into the close neighborhoods or through the Plaza, But I think that will come quickly with use.

“Kansas City needs …” A new airport to match

LADIES ONLY

other modern airports of cities our size to draw in business and tourist traffic. We also need to develop around our awesome sports complex to better host tourists the nine months out of the year Kansas City has sports teams playing.

What are the first two terminal points on your KC rail system? Brookside and the Plaza.

“In five years, I’ll be …” Looking for the next venture to start and trying to form an awesome team, much like today.

S a b r i n a S ta i r e S

What’s your addiction? Things that go fast.

“I always laugh at …” Almost anything. I try to find reasons to laugh whenever possible, and I love the standup of Mitch Hedberg.

I learned about Louis C.K. way before he made it big.

“I’ve been known to binge-watch …” Any series

by HBO and Showtime — though I run a bit short on time these days to watch what I want.

Luckily, my wife cues up our favorite shows like Bloodline and Orange Is the New Black.

“I can’t stop listening to …” Any kind of music

from metal to jazz to blues (except country, sorry!). Anyone who knows me is annoyed at how much I love music, that’s for sure.

“I just read …” Get-Real Leadership from local author and inspirational businessperson Harry Campbell. And now my team and I are reading Performing Under Pressure.

What’s your guiltiest pleasure? Whiskey, the cause of, and solution to, all of my problems.

The best advice I ever got: From another entre-

preneur, “Provide value, charge fairly for it.”

Worst advice: My guidance counselors who didn’t try to encourage me to challenge myself. Glad I didn’t listen to them.

My sidekick: My awesome wife. We have had adventures together all over the world. The most recent was in Argentina with our kiddos this spring for a month.

What is your nemesis? Failure. I hate it.

What’s your greatest struggle right now? Try-

ing to keep it all in balance. It is hard to start a business in a new industry while having a family. I don’t know if I do well at it all the time.

My dating triumph/tragedy: I’m still friends with all my ex-girlfriends on Facebook, so I must be doing something right. Minor tragedy is some of them got overtaken by the Vegas lifestyle.

My brush with fame: I was a cabana boy in Vegas during high school and college for Caesars Palace and Paris and got to serve a couple of celebrities who are now B-list (Pam Anderson, Claudia Schiffer … I’m getting old).

My soapbox: Do what you love and you won’t work a day in your life.

What was the last thing you had to apologize for? I overbooked my schedule just after my company Pure Pursuit’s open house and missed an important interview. I felt terrible to have to reschedule.

Who’s sorry now? Still me! Lesson learned.

My recent triumph: Hitting Pure Pursuit’s open-house date on time with all the small pieces that fell into place that day! I’m blessed to have a world-beating team.

A Hundred Bucks At tHe Movies

By Scott WilSon

Fall guide 2015

F

orget the summer blockbusters. Jurassic World has stomped away. The Terminator was indeed back, but now he’s gone again. We are all dosed to the gills on Marvel. So now comes the last quarter, the season in which prestige and spectacle go together like the lenses in a pair of 3-D glasses. The bigbudget stuff is meant to appear more serious, the lighthearted films more actorly, the A-list names more burnished by their association with fellow A-listers. Expectations are high, the potential for disappointment profound (especially in the case of a certain monolithic franchise).

There’s no shortage of intriguing titles on the way, from legitimate Oscar bait to small pictures that almost play better in a quiet living room. For the purposes of this list, though, the point is simple: These are the ones for which I’ve already got ticket money in hand, even if I’ve already seen them for free in order to review them. I wouldn’t want to miss any of these on a real screen, preferably on opening weekend — maybe before dark, for a matinee price, so I can see a certain monolithic franchise a few times.

Black Mass (September 18)

You have to go back to 1997’s Donnie Brasco for a Johnny Depp title that’s not a Tim Burton fiasco, a dubious-accent showcase, a period misfire, or some combination thereof.

Playing real-life gangster Whitey Bulger might at last be a return to acting rather than stylization. Fingers crossed.

Steven Spielberg directs a Coen brothers script that’s based on real Cold War events. Tom Hanks stars. It almost sounds too easy.

This time, it’s Christoph Waltz facing off against Daniel Craig’s James Bond.

Sam Mendes directs again, following Skyfall’s recordbreaking success. It does sound too easy. But impossible not to be excited about.

W

hen Dylan Low opened his first business last month, he called it Hearth Bakery.

But he’s already changing the name.

“My focus is on bread,” says the 21-yearold graduate of the Napa Valley branch of the Culinary Institute of America. “I’m not a traditional bakery. I don’t sell cookies or pies.”

So Low — rhymes with loud — now calls his shop, at 17985 State Route 45 North in Weston, Hearth Bread Co. It’s a more fitting moniker for a place that sells four varieties of bread each day, baked in a brick-and-concrete, wood-burning oven that Low built himself.

He does offer pastries — apple and blueberry fritters, beignets, brioche morning buns — on Saturdays. Get up early. Those sweet things tend to sell out fast.

“There’s usually a line out the door on Saturday morning,” Low says.

Low started baking as a child, learning from his mother and grandmother. When the Wichita native graduated from high school in Weston, he couldn’t decide if he wanted to go to culinary school or into the military. Cooking won out. His family wasn’t surprised: Low had been working as a line cook at Weston’s Avalon Café, under the direction of owner and chef David Scott, for five years. “David taught me a lot,” Low says.

The 69-year-old building housing Hearth was an apple warehouse before Low and his family moved in. Now, Low’s father runs a business at the same address, renovating classic midcentury cars (last week, a 1933 Dodge

Low: Living the simple life was on the blocks), and his mother operates a vintage clothing business here.

Low changes the bread selections daily, but he always features ciabatta, a French boule and some variation on a sourdough loaf — notably his Danish sourdough. “It’s a dense loaf made with stone-ground whole wheat and sourdough starter,” Low says.

The boule is a terrific white bread — soft but not too airy, with a flavorful crackly crust.

On Wednesdays, Low bakes a cranberrywalnut loaf and a crusty cinnamon-raisin bread, either of which would seem to make a great French toast. (Low sells just that as a breakfast item during the week.) He also creates some kind of seasonal focaccia using vegetables and herbs from his garden.

Low burns hickory and locust in his oven and says the fragrant woods impart a hint of distinctive flavor to his loaves. Patrons of his bread shop have been requesting rye and pumpernickel breads, so Low has been experimenting with those and other flours.

“I only use Midwest-grown grain for my flour, and half of that is organic,” he says.

Hearth Bread Co. is open 7 a.m.–noon Wednesday-Saturday. And, Low says, that’s it, at least for now. “Bread baking is a very simple life,” he tells me. “I’m very content with the way things are now.”

Second Helping

Season + Square’s owners ready their nearby Plate for a fall opening.

By

Charles Ferruzza

M

ost Kansas City diners have never heard of Valter Nassi, the Italian-born owner of the celebrated Salt Lake City restaurant Valter’s Osteria. But Nassi’s presence will be felt when Andrea Morrow Joseph and her husband, Christian Joseph, open their east Brookside bistro, Plate, at 6201 Oak, later this year.

“We’re pushing for early November,” Christian says. “We have some of our permits already.”

Christian worked with Nassi when he lived in Salt Lake City. He was so inspired by the larger-than-life restaurateur that he’s sending the chef he has hired for Plate — the Josephs won’t reveal who it is because he’s now employed at another restaurant — to work a stint at Valter’s Osteria.

When it opens, Plate will be a 49-seat restaurant specializing in a cuisine that Christian calls modern Italian: “lighter than classic Italian, using local and regional produce and meats.”

The Josephs are in negotiations with local purveyors, such as Hugo Tea, Ibis Bakery and the Kansas City Canning Co., to create exclusive products for Plate. Andrea sells products from those vendors (and many more) in her year-old shop, Season + Square, just around the corner from Plate.

“We’re going to use as many locally created products in the restaurant as we can,” she says.

“It will be a collaborative effort.”

Plate will open as a Tuesday–Saturday dinner-only venue. The couple intends to add Sunday brunch in early 2016.

Opening Plate (about the name, Christian says, “When you hear it, you automatically think food”) has been a costly proposition.

The couple launched a Kickstarter campaign in May, seeking $20,000 for building repairs.

Pledges fell short.

“It's our fault,” Andrea says. "We had a family tragedy during that time and probably didn’t focus as much on it as we could.”

Because the group of buildings clustered around 63rd Street and Oak dates back to the early 1930s, repairs remain. “There are a lot of structural expenses we didn't expect,” Andrea says — expenses the Josephs are now covering on their own.

They designed the interior of the restaurant themselves, as they did the Season + Square space. “We have ideas that are new, not trendy,” Christian says. “We think we’re ahead of the curve.”

The two maintain full-time jobs — Andrea at her store and Christian as a sales executive.

They say they’ll be in the Plate dining room as often as they can. “We’re planning to hire a manager,” Christian says, “maybe only part time at first.”

The restaurant will serve a limited menu of hot and cold antipasti, featured entrées and pasta dishes, as well as desserts made in-house.

“We have a small kitchen,” Christian says, “but it’s big enough that there’s space for everything we need and everything we need in order to grow.”

LATE BLOOMER

Lauren Anderson’s debut is a triumph.

A

n hour after returning to Kansas City from Topeka on a Sunday night — following a performance at the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge regional qualifier — Lauren Anderson is sipping wine on the patio of a Crossroads restaurant. She hasn’t taken off her performance makeup, and the moonlight finds its way to the glitter around her eyelids.

“There was a lot of talent there today, and we didn’t get the nomination,” Anderson tells me with a slight shrug. “Which, you know, as bluesy as we are, we’re not that traditional — and I think that’s what they were looking for.

And that’s OK.” Anderson’s music is closer to the bluessoul fusion of, say, Joss Stone or Norah Jones than it is to the loud, furious riffs of her contemporaries — including Katy Guillen and the Girls, 2014 International Blues Challenge finalists. But Anderson doesn’t see the Topeka venture as a wasted trip.

“I felt really good about what we played, and that alone was a good enough reason to compete,” she says. “I think the IBC puts you in front of a lot of people that you wouldn’t normally be in front of. Even though we’re not traditional blues and I’m not interested in really changing what we’re doing, it’s still a good opportunity for us.”

Besides, she adds, the preparation for the competition was the ideal primer for her Thursday night show at Knuckleheads, marking the release of Truly Me. It’s the 30-year-old singer’s debut album, arriving nearly a year after the EP Do & Hope.

The 14 tracks on Truly Me are cherrypicked, Anderson says, from the stack of songs she wrote throughout her 20s, starting around the time she relocated to Kansas City from her native Chicago. These are the songs that appear most regularly in her live sets. Now, on record, with their easy, catchy hooks and retro rhythms, they make an ideal backdrop for Anderson’s impressive voice.

Most of Anderson’s lyrics takel their inspiration from the predictable themes of love and its myriad shades, but Truly Me is far from pedestrian. When Anderson’s husky, honeyed voice drops the steamy opening lines of “Shame” — I know you think I’m sexy, you know I want it, too — the confidence on display is that of a veteran, not a beginner. Truly Me — made with bassist Dylan Reiter, guitarist Adam Stuber and drummer Jeff Daniels — pulses with purpose, and shows the singer very much in command.

“I’d really always known that I wanted to sing,” Anderson says of her relatively late start. “There was a time where I thought about classic opera singing, and I went to school for vocal performance. But halfway

to promote Truly Me — including a stop in Chicago, where she’ll hold a CD release show “mostly for my parents’ friends,” she admits with a laugh.

Anderson sees Truly Me as the result of an upbringing heavy on Chicago blues and, later, what she heard in Kansas City. “There is such a vibrant, rich musical scene here,” she says at one point. And now that scene includes her among the area’s leading blues talents — joining Danielle Nicole Schnebelen (formerly of Trampled Under Foot), Samantha Fish and Katy Guillen and the Girls. Is this market, in fact, almost too rich?

“The main thing that I think all of us should remember is that there’s no reason we can’t all succeed,” Anderson says. “I think a lot of times — especially females — we get competitive, but there’s no reason that we can’t all exist and prosper as individuals here.

That being said, my music is not quite as traditional blues — but neither are Danielle and Samantha and Katy. I think we all have our own take on the blues, and I think there’s room for all of us.”

J a z z B e at Ryan HEinlEin and tHE Kansas City BonE Company

through that degree, I began to realize that I don’t really love opera.” She punctuates this admission with a wry laugh. “With the intention of still being able to have a day job, I got my masters in musical therapy. I didn’t finish that until September 2012, and really, at that point, I finally felt like I had the time to put more of an effort in performing.”

Anderson still works as a musical therapist in the pediatric unit at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She enjoys it, she says, but it’s not her reason for waking up in the morning.

Anderson finds her groove.

“As much as I do love being a musical therapist, the drive to be a performer has never gone away,” Anderson says. “Sometimes I regret not going for this earlier, but then I think one of the benefits of starting this in my late 20s is life experience. I’m motivated now because I’m older, I’m 30, and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Even though 30 is not that old, it’s easy for you to feel like you should have started a lot earlier.”

The next step, Anderson says, is a tour

Project H leader Ryan Heinlein brings together a dozen trombone players for a night of Parker’s music like you’ll rarely hear.

WANDERING SOUL

Tyler Gregory has a rare moment at home.

the pitch

f the 10 or so people on the patio at Papa Keno’s in Lawrence, five are musicians present for the open-call jam under way. One of those musicians is singer, songwriter and one-man-band Tyler Gregory, who springs up from his seat, mid-guitar strum, to give me a hug. It’s only the second time we’ve met.

Gregory is not one for ceremony.

He is just recently back from tour, he tells me — though he calls it a “run” or a “trip,” the two and a half weeks he spent playing in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. Next week, he’ll take a three- or fourday weekend, this time through Illinois and Arkansas. The next real tour, he says, is in November, when he sets out for two months through the Western states toward the coast.

This is how Gregory, 27, manages full-time musicianship, on his own or, sometimes, with a fellow musician (singer-songwriter Sky Smeed traveled the Oklahoma-to-Colorado route with him), in multiple jaunts that add up to cross-country. He sleeps in motels sometimes, more often on the couches or floors of supportive friends or fans. He is his own booker, his own promoter, and this has been his life since he dropped out of college eight years ago and moved to Lawrence from Manhattan, Kansas. It is not glamorous. It is not a rock star’s progress.

But that, Gregory reminds me, has never been the objective.

“It’s weird when people come up to me and are like, ‘Sure must be hard making a living like this. You don’t make that much money. When are you going to get a real job?’”

Gregory smiles and goes on: “But everybody loves music, and there’s got to be someone to provide it. Bands tour the country, people buy records. It is a real job. It’s a lot of hard work, and I’m not going to get rich, but I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

Gregory, lean and tall, has this evening added to his height with the plume of feathers extending from his wide-brimmed hat.

He’s wearing a western shirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal the colorful tattoos that stretch from his forearms to his knuckles. His blond hair is long, a few of the strands coalescing into dreads, and his reddish beard touches the middle of his chest. He looks every bit the road warrior, though there is no battle in his face, which seems locked in a smile that brings Santa Claus crinkles to the corners of his blue eyes.

As the Papa Keno’s patio continues to fill up — a tenor saxophonist has joined the drummer, banjo player and several guitarists (including fellow folk artist Nicholas St. James) — several new arrivals interrupt our interview to say hello to Gregory and welcome him back to town. I get the impression that

Tyler Gregory with Rolling Foliage Friday, August 28, at the Bottleneck this is a common scene at several of Gregory’s regular stops on the road, too.

“I’ve got a family out there on the road,” he says. “It’s a struggle, but it’s not a bad struggle. Whatever you put out there you get back, and I think that’s the beauty of it. You’re experiencing life so much faster when you’re going from town to town because you’re always on your feet. You never know what to expect.”

Last year, Gregory put out a full-length called Roots Below, on local roots label Mudstomp Records. Its centerpiece — the driving force behind each of its 12 tracks — is Gregory’s tremendous voice, an instrument he started building as a busker working outside bars long before he was old enough to drink. He bellows and booms over the dark terrain of “Hand of Sin” but sings sweet on the ode to his home state, “Kansas Girl.”

And beyond the heart-squeeze in that voice, Gregory makes you feel things with his songwriting, too. “Solace Lying in the Open Road” paints a picture of his endless travels, his cavernous baritone making an image as beautiful as it is lonely: After every

Gregory: the anti-rock star town, it’s highway bound, falling back to the one thing I know/It’s that solace lying in the open road … It will surely shake your burdens when you’re living in between the highway and the place you call home.

“I’ll go to L.A., or any other big city, and there is that feeling — when you’re waiting on your gig, and the loneliness starts to set in,” Gregory admits. “I’ll start wondering where I’m going to sleep that night, how I’ll make it work — but the music keeps me going, because I’m in that city for a reason, and that’s to play a show. No matter what’s going on, that’s possible to look forward to. And then you wake up in a new town the next day. If it’s not all right today, it’ll be all right tomorrow.”

So he’ll start out again, more trips, more tomorrows. And in the spring, he’ll record a new album.

“There’s so much you put into it year after year,” he says. “I try to get better shows the next year and go to different places. It’s a never ending thing, endless opportunities and there’s other states and it’s a job where you get to meet amazing people and see amazing things. You’re doing what you love, so why trade it for anything else?”

Forget that the Furs haven’t released new material since 1991’s World Outside.

Australia’s the Church, on the other hand, has quite a few more recent releases to build its setlist around, including last year’s excellent Further/Deeper. Rest assured that they’ll be doling out the hits as well. If you were part of the subversive-rock club in the ’80s, this show will speak to your soul.

Eight years — that’s how long we’ve waited for Strangers to Ourselves, the latest release from Modest Mouse. It picks up where 2007’s We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank left off — with off-kilter grooves and idiosyncratic hooks that probably wouldn’t work so well played by any other band. But Strangers to Ourselves is not the magnum opus that many were expecting, especially after nearly a decade of prolonged anticipation. (The band infamously canceled a slew of tour dates in 2013 because, members said, they needed more time in the studio.) It’s not that it’s bad — it’s thoroughly enjoyable. It just doesn’t do anything that Modest Mouse hasn’t already done, which makes you wonder what took these guys so long. Tuesday at Liberty Hall, maybe we’ll find out.

Gwar

To say that Gwar’s recent history has been difficult would be an understatement. Earlier this month, the thrash-metal band’s newest member and frontwoman, Vulvatron, was kicked out of the band — rumor is that she was fired over the Internet — and things have gotten ugly since. Sunday night’s show at the Granada is still on, and it arrives nearly a year and a half after the overdose death of frontman and founder Dave Brockie, aka Oderus Urungus.

If you’re familiar with Gwar, you know that these struggles won’t affect the gnarly grossout that the band of supposed flesh-eating

Thee Oh Sees

No one questions John Dwyer’s prolific output. The back catalog of his 18-year-old band, Thee Oh Sees, is evidence enough of that (to say nothing of Dwyer’s recent solo record as Damaged Bug or any of his previous projects).

Though this kind of intense creativity can compromise the value of lesser acts — the old quality-versus-quantity argument — Dwyer doesn’t seem to be in any sort of danger. Take Thee Oh Sees’ newest album, Mutilator Defeated at Last. This will go down as one of the finest in the California band’s canon, replete with juicy grooves and crunchy riffs and finished with a hazy layer of psychedelia. Mutilator is heavy, and you should blast it at full volume, no matter the hour or how pissed off your neighbors might get. Old fans will be pleased and impressed; new fans’ brains will melt.

Ashley’s Ashes Dear Dan: Please do a public-service announcement about the Ashley Madison hack, and request that no one look up information on anyone other than their own spouse. I’m a former AM user. I’ve been married to my wife for 20 years.

We met when we were both 20 years old. Seven years ago, I made a selfish decision to have an affair, and five years ago, my wife found out. She hated me for a while, but we worked things out.

I have been faithful since then, and our marriage is better than ever. Because my wife already knows everything, I have no worries about her finding out. But what about every other person I know? It is mortifying to think about my colleagues or my wife’s family poring through my profile information. I’m going to assume the best — most people have the common decency not to snoop into their neighbors’ bedroom habits — but it would be great if you could ask people to respect other people’s privacy.

the pitch

lighted to snoop into their neighbors’ bedroom habits — particularly when doing so induces feelings of moral superiority. And I like to think that the kind of puritanical busybodies who would go looking for names in the Ashley Madison dump are unlikely to be readers of mine, so they wouldn’t see my Ashley Madison PSA anyway.

But I have to disagree with your suggestion that people should look for their spouses’ names in the AM data. If someone in a shitty, high-conflict marriage needs an excuse to get out — because no-fault divorce isn’t good enough for them — that person might wanna search for their spouse’s name. But people who are in loving, functional, low-conflict, happy-ish marriages might want to think twice. Finding out that your spouse cheated — or fantasized about cheating — is impossible to unknow, and it’s something many people can’t get over. Caveat coniunx.

Dear Dan: I’m one of those morons who had an

Ashley Madison account. But for me, and probably for many others, AM has been a strong antidote to the urge to cheat. Spending some time on AM taught me the following: (1) I’m nothing special — there are millions of other men looking for the same thing, and most of them are younger and better-looking. (2) The women on AM are nothing special — the few who even bother chatting with you are often looking for money, and your wife starts looking damn good by comparison. (3) The whole thing is basically a scam to separate horny middle-aged guys from our wallets. And it doesn’t even have the relatively honest sleaze of a strip club.

Ashley Madison Mark

au g u st 27-s e pt e m b e r 2 , 20 1 5

By

D a n S ava ge Ashley Madison. Loyalty isn’t something we can demonstrate only with our genitals.

Dear Dan: I’m an Ashley Madison user in an open relationship with a bi woman. I can assure you that a large number of AM users — hundreds of thousands — are also in open relationships. The hackers made no effort to distinguish between adulterers and people in consensual, honest relationships. They are smearing thousands of people as adulterers who are much more honest in their relationships than the average person.

Healthy Openness Not Egregious Sexual Trysts Dear HONEST: The hackers also made no ef-

Dear AMM: There’s no way to tell the differ-

ence between an Ashley Madison member who came to his (or her) senses before cheating and a member who fucked a dozen other people — or, for that matter, a member who had a good reason for being on the site …

Dear Dan: I’m one of the men caught in the

Ashley Madison hacker net. But as pissed as I am about the bullshit — the company’s lies about the security of its site, the hackers’ self-righteous moralizing — I can attest to the fact that one can get what one is looking for on that site. Yes, there were a lot of fake profiles. Yes, there were a lot of pros. Yes, there were women looking to steal your identity. Seriously. But once you figured out the game, you could find a lot of real women on that site who were looking for someone to spend time with. I’ll be pissed if I get busted as a result of all of this, but joining that site helped me reclaim my sanity after a sexless 25-year marriage.

Don’t Attack This Adulterer Dear DATA: Some married people have grounds

to cheat. Men and women trapped in sexless or loveless marriages, men and women who have been abandoned sexually and/or emotionally by spouses they aren’t able to leave — either because their spouses are economically dependent on them (or vice versa) or because they may have children who are dependent on both partners. It would be wonderful if everyone who felt compelled to cheat could either negotiate an open relationship or end the one they’re in now, but there are cases where cheating is the least worst option for all involved.

Now, I don’t know the particulars of DATA’s marriage — why it has been sexless for so long, what the damage is — but if seeking sex elsewhere allowed DATA to stay sane and stay married, and if the marriage is otherwise affectionate and low-conflict, and if DATA’s wife didn’t want to see her marriage end, DATA may have done her a favor by getting on

fort to protect Ashley Madison members living in countries where adultery is punishable by death. Along with all the cheaters, wannabe cheaters and people in honest open relationships, the hackers exposed hundreds of people living in Saudi Arabia — some of them gay. Do the people out there saying AM members are getting what they deserve realize that some are going to get their heads cut off?

Dear Dan: I am a data-security attorney. One important point that seems to be missed by those celebrating the Ashley Madison hack is that while cheating is not illegal, unauthorized hacking is.

While some may find cheating morally reprehensible, it is not so morally reprehensible in this country that there are laws prohibiting it (anymore) — it’s not even a misdemeanor. On the other hand, hacking into someone’s system and accessing data without authorization is considered so morally reprehensible that we have state and federal laws against it. Also, there are state and federal laws that apply to sites like Ashley Madison around properly securing their data and not making promises about security or handling of data (such as whether data is deleted).

It will be interesting to see what actions, if any, may be taken against the site. I predict that this is just the start of attacks against sex-oriented sites.

Who Is Next?

Dear WIN: Almost everyone has posted stuff

online anonymously, has privately shared pictures and fantasies, and has a browser history that could screw up their lives if that info were dumped into a searchable database that named names. The people celebrating the Ashley Madison hack might have more sympathy for the victims if they contemplated their own vulnerability. We are all one malicious hack, one lost cellphone or one vindictive ex away from the kind of exposure and humiliation and, in some cases, the kind of ruin that the AM members are facing today.

Do you have (or suspect you have) FIBROMYALGIA? Have you been experiencing pain for at least 3 months?

Are you 18 or older?

Then we need your help.

HUGS HURT

Current fibromyalgia pain treatments don’t work for everyone. So we’re conducting ALDAY – a medical research study to evaluate an investigational drug.

The study will last approximately 21 weeks and all study-related assessments and drugs will be provided at no cost to you (study-related time and travel costs may also be reimbursed).

To learn how you could help shape the future of fibromyalgia care:
