Check out the contest on zetterburger.com for more rules, or lack-thereof.
ilb2001 I'm missing all the fun again. Dammit!
Latona It matters what it was if you want EXTRA points, Sally, but a free lunch is automatically worth two.

Jobi-Wan Kenobi Good livechat today, Carp! Took me a little bit to figure out how it worked, but it was fun!

Jonny D Great idea*

Evan Thanks Carp! I had not known about the predictions contest until your last reminder.
Great chat…just read the transcript as I wasn't able to participate…
How many years do you think Amirante has left in him?
loneranger loneranger April 11th, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Here are my predictions:
Eastern Conference
Senators over Rangers in 6.
Bruins over Capitals in 6.
Panthers over Devils in 7.
Penguins over Flyers in 7.Western Conference
Canucks over Kings in 7.
Sharks over Blues in 7.
Coyotes over BlackHawks in 7.
Predators over Red Wings in 6. -
Miami Pimp If The Kreider scores a hat trick, I'll throw a party and everyone's invited.
Latona You know, Evan, I was JUST thinking about that. He better do his signature arm circles at Game One, or I'm going to be really upset.
Miami Pimp If The Kreider isn't in the starting lineup, I'm not watching the game.
Evan Latona,
Totally agree on the arm circles. At some point though I'm concerned his arm may fall off. His voice is much thinner this year than in year's past and at times the Anthem can get very slow as if the organist has to wait for him to finish a stanza.
That said, we get both anthems all series!!!!! Very excited for O Canada as even I hope most Americans can admit, is a far superior anthem.
Evan I'd also note that Amirante is the only anthem singer who uses the organ all year…
Evan But love the guy to death…no better way than to start a Ranger game than listening to Johnny sing the anthems
And This One Will Last A Lifetime Barry Melrose just completely trashed Henrik Lundqvist…says he's been to playoffs 5 years with only 2 playoff rounds won. Says he's not a money goalie come post season time. OUCH
Vibz And this one…..
Consider the source lol…. -
Johnny LaRue What kind of cool prizes are there? A Wizard tip calculator maybe?
Miami Pimp What kind of classy suit was Barry the Clown wearing during his diatribe?
Lev ahh yes the very successful Barry Melrose! now that's one man's opinions we must care about!
ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?! Melrose is a moron! How many times has he picked the Sharks to win the Cup over the last few years? He's a clueless dope.
iWicky "Rupp yours" Ha ha, a disqualification
CCCP so Kreider is going to wear number 20… is it to honor Vinny P? lol
iWicky "Rupp yours" Both anthems are really great!!! The one thing I really love about the U.S. anthem is there is NOT a religious reference in it!! That, and it is about a battle and should always remind us of those who have sacrificed so we can be here (not that we shouldn't all be thinking about those heroes anyhow)
Mattyboy let the games begin!!!!!!!!!
iWicky "Rupp yours" Cccp
Rucchin -
Mattyboy If Todd Bertuzzi can't afford teeth, I'll buy him some. Just have him contact me. What's he make a year????
iWicky "Rupp yours" Woooo hoooo!!!!!!!!!!
Go playoffs!!!!!!
Manny Please do NOTHING nice for Todd Bertuzzi unless it's sucker punching him in the back of the head and thus out of the league! OH! OR Matty you can do the implant surgery for him and make it really painful!
Is there any way that the Phlyers AND the Penguins can lose simultaneously?
CCCP LOL @ Rucchin! What a Ranger!
stranger Nation Rucchin = fuggly
iWicky "Rupp yours" Rucchin=must dress
ORR!! What Is It Good For?!?! Milbury thinks the Pens shouldn't show their "manhood"
Spiderpig Sorry I couldn't be there for the chat!
Rangers 3, Senators 2, GWG: Richards, Rangers shots: 32, Senators shots: 15
Am I doing it right?
Carp um, no, Spider.
Carp I'd enjoy seeing Max Talbot and Matt Cooke collide and they spontaneously combust.

"Single - payer" movement
According to Michael Lighty, a former National Director of Democratic Socialists of America, and Director of Public Policy for the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, writing in DSA's Democratic Left, Winter 2007/2008 .[3]
- There's a growing movement for single-payer universal healthcare. The movement is led by activists in Healthcare-Now!, doctors in the Physicians for a National Health Program, nurses in the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, leaders in labor unions such as United Steelworkers of America and Communication Workers of America, activists in the Progressive Democrats of America, and Congressman John Conyers, with the support for HR 676 by 300 union locals, 75 Central Labor Councils, and 25 state Federations of Labor, and hundreds of clergy and faith-based organizations, as well as civil rights, women's and healthcare advocacy groups in the Leadership Conference for Guaranteed Healthcare.
- The policy proposals developed by Beltway think tanks and the principles for reform adopted by the AFL-CIO confer support for single-payer while allowing for private insurance-based approaches as well. Other bills in Congress, notably sponsored by Ted Kennedy and John Dingell and "Americare" introduced by Pete Stark, seek to incrementally establish a single-payer system.

117 Yale L.J. 734 (2008).
As the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) passes its fortieth anniversary and faces upcoming constitutional challenges to its recent renewal, a growing number of liberals and conservatives, once united in support, now share deep reservations about it. This Article argues that the growing skepticism about the VRA and majority-minority districting is misguided by a simplistic and impoverished account of electoral competition in American politics. Electoral competition should be judged with reference to the ultimate ends it is intended to produce— more democratic debate, greater civic engagement and participation, and richer political discourse—all of which are generated by a deeper first-order competition among political leaders that this Article describes as "democratic contestation." This Article offers democratic contestation, in place of electoral competition, as a basic value in the law of democracy and as the foundation for a new theory that helps reconcile approaches to race, representation, and political competition. A theory of democratic contestation shifts the normative focus from the pluralist absorption with which groups get what from politics to a new focus on the tenor and quality of political competition among leaders. When viewed through a theory of democratic contestation, the VRA is crucially procompetitive in the broader sense of democratic contestation. By carving out safe majority-minority districts, the VRA may break the discursive stasis of racial polarization in which politics revolve around the single axis of race. A theory of democratic contestation reveals how majority-minority districts may energize the process of democratic contestation and enable an internal discourse of ideas that moves beyond the racially polarized divide, an otherwise inadvisable move in the face of racially polarized opposition. A theory of democratic contestation thus demands a reevaluation of the Supreme Court's recent decision in LULAC v. Perry and provides a new understanding of the renewed VRA going forward in the modern world of national partisan competition.
117 Yale L.J. 804 (2008).
Intellectual property law was once an arcane subject. Today it is at the center of some of the most highly charged political contests of our time. In recent years, college students, subsistence farmers, AIDS activists, genomic scientists, and free-software programmers have mobilized to challenge the contours of intellectual property (IP) law. Very recently, some from these groups have begun to develop a shared critique under the umbrella of "access to knowledge" (A2K). Existing accounts of the political economy of the field of IP have suggested that such a mobilization was unlikely. This Article takes the emergence of the A2K mobilization as an opportunity to develop a richer and less deterministic account of the contemporary politics of IP. It draws upon "frame mobilization" literature, which illuminates the role that acts of interpretation play in instigating, promoting, and legitimating collective action. The frame- analytic perspective teaches that before a group can act it must develop an account of its interests and theorize how to advance these interests. These acts of interpretation are both socially mediated and contingent. Ideas can be a resource for those engaged in mobilization, but one that is not fully in their control. Frames thus can lay the scaffolding for a countermovement even as they pave the way for a movement's success. Law is a key location for framing conflicts because it provides groups with symbolic resources for framing, and because groups struggle within the field of law to gain control over law's normative and instrumental benefits. Law thus exerts a gravitational pull on framing processes. Engagement with law can influence a group's architecture, discourse, and strategies, and can also create areas of overlapping agreement and— as importantly—a language of common disagreement between opposing groups. The Article closes by suggesting some implications of this point, which should be of interest to those who design legal institutions and who engage in social mobilization. Most intriguing, perhaps, is the role it suggests that law may play in the creation of global publics and polities.

Counterterrorism officials increasingly seek to scrutinize conduct and behavior that they believe, however uncertainly, to be probative of terrorist activity. When such conduct- based profiling specifically targets activity that is also expressive of Muslim identity, it may inflict pervasive dignitary and stigmatic harms upon the American Muslim community. Those seeking redress from such policies through litigation would find that existing constitutional doctrine does not readily let judges account for group harms when balancing the interests at stake. This Note, however, argues that Muslim plaintiffs can use the Free Exercise Clause doctrine of "hybrid situations," announced in Employment Division v. Smith, to plead that certain profiles' burdens upon their religiously motivated exercise of secular constitutional rights threaten to subordinate their religious community as a whole.

So while I'm switching from Verisuck to DSLExtreme and having problems connecting, the DSLX tech is saying that the max phone line length should be 10'.
Right now it is at least double that and I never had problems connecting to Verisuck. I just don't buy that max length at all.

Prix myclimate de l'innovation
myclimate fête ses 10 ans! A l'occasion de cet anniversaire, nous récompenserons un produit innovant qui contribue activement à la protection du climat. Le gagnant bénéficiera d'un calcul gratuit de l'empreinte carbone du produit.
Direktrecycling Couverts
Used paper is directly reused as envelopes
Envelopes are produced directly from used paper – concretely: from out-dated maps. This product shows that direct reuse is environmentally friendly, aesthetically appealing and suitable en masse as well as for daily usage. Direktrecycling skips the whole process of paper recycling to produce its envelopes. This saves water, energy, bleacher and binding material. 4.4g CO2 per envelope are reduced thanks to this simplification. If 1‰ of all Swiss letters were sent in a Direktrecycling envelope, 10 tons CO2 would be saved.
(Numbers based on estimations)
Greencity is the first CO2 neutral neighbourhood of Switzerland.
Greencity offers its 7000 inhabitants the possibility of decreasing their energy consumption. 100 per cent of the thermic energy needs are covered by renewable energy, provided for example by the hydropower station of the old spinning company. Heat pump systems and photovoltaic devices also contribute to the energy production of the neighbourhood. Car-sharing and docking stations for e-cars are present on site to ensure a more environmentally friendly mobility. Greencity is a prime example that inspires local authorities and the whole of Switzerland to perform a rethinking towards a low carbon society.
Solar fuels from waste biomass
Agricultural waste is upgraded through solar energy into widely applicable, clean and energy-rich synthesis gas called syngas.
With this gasification process, solar energy is converted into a storable and transportable form. Syngas can be used as a direct substitute for conventional fossil fuels, therefore avoiding greenhouse gas emissions of the latter. The replacement of 10 billion litres kerosene by syngas leads to a reduction of 24 million tons of CO2. Thus, it offers a significant impact on the energy supply in the mobility sector – especially aviation.
myclimate Innovation Award
myclimate a cherché des fabricants et fournisseurs ayant développé des produits ou des services qui permettent de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre tels que le CO2, par exemple grâce à
- l'utilisation des énergies renouvelables
- la production énergétiquement efficace
- des processus de distribution optimisés

Bahrain said it will not transfer Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, a political hunger striker, as requested by the Danish government, reports said Sunday.
Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, who is also a Danish citizen, was shifted to a military hospital due to his poor health. Bahrain punished Abdulhadi al-Khawaja with life sentence over protests by the Shia Muslim community.
The Supreme Judiciary Council stated that the provisions of criminal procedures law stipulating the handing over of accused persons to foreign countries does not pertain to the case of Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja, the Bahrain News Agency reported.

There is no doubt that television's recent love affair with dance-themed reality competitions has stirred a desire to learn ballroom dancing. Miami's Salsa Lovers is the place to locate your newfound moves, with its vibrant neon sign and hot pink studio walls that beckon trained dancers and novices alike. The dance studio is festive and fun, leading to packed classes that range from beginners to masters, with each learning to move from certified dance instructors. The studio hosts monthly practice parties to give members a chance to practice what they've learned in their weekly group classes or private lessons. The studio also offers kids classes and Zumba Dance workouts for a nice change of pace.
The three owners of Shake Shake It Fitness & Dance Studio draw from a lifelong love of musical movement to teach all the one-hour workout dance classes on their calendar. Instructors motivate the movement in lessons such as modern hip-hop, which is based on video and commercial moves, and Zumba, where students burn calories by moving to Latin and international rhythms and then setting twinkies on fire. In Sexy Dance and Cardio Dance, instructor Ivana looks to raise the heart rate with a variety of choreography, and traditional belly-dance teacher Miss Jihan Jamal instructs pupils of all levels in the controlled poses of Middle Eastern¬–style shimmying.
After losing 135 pounds, Spinderella Fitness owner Elizabeth Rodriguez was determined to inspire other women to seize control of their health and strive for the energy and confidence of the physically fit. She became a certified nutritionist and personal trainer before undertaking the study of a less conventional subject: pole dancing. Rodriguez struggled at first. She recalls that she "use[d] to go home in tears" of frustration. But 17 months later, she opened her own pole-dance fitness studio, and then a second one to meet the demand for her teachings.
Rodriguez's studios host more than two-dozen classes thanks to her collaboration with Melissa Fernandez—a trained dancer with a background in jazz, ballet, and hip hop—who helped broaden the curriculum. This collaboration has resulted in both high-energy, cardio-driven workouts as well as those inspired by salsa, Flashdance, and the sensual rippling of national flags.
Students who are serious about mastering advanced pole maneuvers progress through several levels. After mastering a pole routine at one level, they receive a colored thong to mark their graduation to the next. Pole climbing students repeat the process until they are certified black-thong dancers capable of disarming a kung fu master with the twist of a hip.
Certified Zumba instructor Sandra Acosta leads students through energetic, Latin-inspired dance movements, tapping into her experience training with Zumba creator Beto Perez. Easier to follow than paint-by-the-numbers, Zumba amalgamates traditional aerobics with simple dance steps for an entertaining, calorie-zapping workout. Participants can burn fat more effectively than a pyromaniac in a butcher shop during their eight different Zumba sessions. Classes are held at various times and locations throughout the week, so dancers can shake their booties on their own schedules.
The consortium of professional instructors at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, which was cofounded by the legendary toe tapper himself, shepherds students of all ages and skill levels through lessons that span the style spectrum. Low-pressure private sessions allow enthusiastic teachers to fine-tune individual students' techniques and form, using their expert eyes and mechanical dancing shoes preprogrammed to do the Charleston. Patrons can learn how to cavort through classic waltz and fox-trot romps or swivel through the modern steps of salsa, swing, or samba. For dancers hoping to hoof it up in a social setting, the group practice parties provide a one-night extravaganza of instruction, demonstrations, and amateur firewalking.

'Best at Disk-based Backup' Leader Grows 10 Percent Over Q3-13 and Turns Cash Positive Innovation, Industry Recognition, Unique Scale-out Architecture, and Commitments to Customers Define Year for ExaGrid
WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Building products to solve the backup problem, ExaGrid Systems announced today that it grew 10 percent from Q3-13 to Q4-13. The company also announced that is has turned cash positive and will be cash positive from this point moving forward. The company consistently ranked 'best at disk-based backup with deduplication' by leading experts is positioned for a breakout year in 2014.

ExaGrid, which roots its success in addressing customers' needs and providing solutions to their data backup challenges, has led the disk-based backup market by replacing and removing all the challenges of tape backup. ExaGrid is the only solution that permanently fixes the backup window and also offers the industry's fastest restores.
Making waves throughout 2013, ExaGrid:
"ExaGrid achieved a number of great milestones in 2013," said Bill Andrews, CEO of ExaGrid. "ExaGrid has the first and only product in the category of scale-out disk-based backup with data deduplication. Customers increasingly understand the need to add compute with capacity, as backup and deduplication are both compute-intensive processes. ExaGrid is the only company 100 percent focused on disk-based backup with deduplication and continues to push the envelope as a technology leader and also an industry thought leader."
A Year of Technological Innovation
In October, the company launched its latest appliance, the EX21000E. The new appliance scales to 210 terabytes in a single GRID system and provides up to 400 percent more throughput than its closest competitor. No other backup architecture can match this performance because only ExaGrid solves the compute problems associated with deduplication. ExaGrid is the only disk-based backup solution that permanently fixes the backup window as data grows.
ExaGrid's scale-out grid architecture and compute with capacity model, allows the company's appliances to execute computationally-intensive deduplication functions in parallel across all appliances in a customer's multi-appliance configuration. In addition, ExaGrid's unique landing zone ensures that the most recent backup data can be quickly restored or copied to offsite tape without having to rehydrate the data. With the advent of virtualization, ExaGrid's landing zone can maintain a full copy of a VM. In the event of a failure the VM can be booted directly from the ExaGrid system resulting in an instant recovery. This is another industry exclusive capability.
Praise from the Experts
Accruing four "product of the year" awards, four additional award "shortlist" recognitions, and dominating industry reports, analysts and industry experts alike have consistently recognized the value ExaGrid solutions delivered over the year. In each of these assessments, ExaGrid was pitted against chief rival EMC Data Domain, which requires expensive forklift upgrades once customers hit the data ceiling of the appliance, as well as slow restores since all data is deduplicated or de-hydrated.
2013 awards included:

It's a typical Sunday afternoon of catching up on news and reports through out the blogosphere. I tried to re-post several reports on Muslim violence today, and they did not re-post. It was as if I had not even re-posted the material. Has this happened to you? Is it a "too busy WP traffic jam" thing, …. or is it a censorship thing? If this has ever happened to you, please make a comment on it, so I will know.
Meanwhile, I went and looked up the URLs of the two Items I tried to re-blog. Here they are:
Please see to it these articles make their way around the web. Thank you.
I authored the report below three years ago. It is more relevant today than ever. Feel free to share with others you know who don't know anything about the history of the Muslim Brotherhood. The truth about this organization needs to be known.
This page may turn out to be one of the most important pieces of truth research that I have published on the web yet. Our federal government officials are lying to the American people about the so called "non-violent" and secular nature of the Muslim Brotherhood. Either our elected officials are literally stupid, or they are intentionally involved in a national disinformation and propaganda campaign in support of the MB and determined to mislead the American people about the nature of the MB and their threat to our country and other western nations. Watch this video below, which is a classic example of federal disinformation, then read every word on this page and send the page to everyone you know.

For more supporting video documentation on this report read: http://alligatorfarm.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/videos-muslim-brotherhood-nazis/
What is the Muslim Brotherhood? I will take a preliminary definition from a special report prepared in 2008 by Steven Emerson, the Executive Director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism, from a report he wrote for the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs:
The Motto of the Muslim Brotherhood is:
The official definition of the MB from Wikipedia is full of contradictions and does not line up with the deeper story that American truth researchers are uncovering as the world watches what will take place next in Egypt. Since millions of Americans turn to Wikipedia as an authoritative source because they don't know better, this essay will hopefully illuminate inquiring minds about just exactly how murky the roots of the MB's modern movement really are.
The ongoing chaos in Egypt has not only riveted the world's attention, it now presses the question: who and what will inherit the governance of Egypt after Mubarak? Nearly every American popular talk radio show – both left and right - that I have perused in the past ten days is trying to address this question. I am finding that American radio talk show hosts, are for the most part, fairly poorly informed about the deeper historical roots of radical Islam, and who and what "The Muslim Brotherhood" of today actually is. If you think the MB organization is moderate, peaceful and benign in their goals, you had better read this essay carefully, for you are about to get a wake up call.
A visit to the official Muslim Brotherhood English version website will quickly reveal that the uprising in Egypt has been tacitly fomented by their members, although technically the movement is banned in Egypt. Read the page which documents the MB's current negotiations with the Egyptian government and there is little doubt left that the MB has had a major role in the Egyptian uprising. Any American Big Media statements to the contrary are indoctrinational positions and hold no truth.
I have compiled this essay for the struggling and misinformed Big Media TV American talking heads referenced above, for myself, and for all Americans who are now scrambling to see far enough into future probabilities to ponder what Egypt might look like under the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood, Wahhabi Islam and fundamentalist sharia law. No possibility is out of reach when chaos leaves open the doors of opportunity for those who would advance the cause of global jihad, using any and all means possible.
See http://www.ikhwanweb.com/articles.php?pid=88 section 15:27 …
MB Media Spokesman: "We hope to take the country to stability, security and democracy, which can bring in the future prosperity, equality, justice and human dignity for all Egyptians."
Hitler himself rose to power under just such circumstances in Germany in the early 1930s. The exact same fertile soil of rage, civil unrest, political turmoil and confusion, rioting, violence, and widespread public discontent now exists in Egypt:
"The Nazis gradually devised an electoral strategy to win northern farmers and white collar voters in small towns, which produced a landslide electoral victory in September 1930 (jump from roughly 3% to 18% of the votes cast) due to the depression. Refused a chance to form a cabinet, and unwilling to share in a coalition regime, the Nazis joined the Communists in violence and disorder between 1931 and 1933. In 1932, Hitler ran for President and won 30% of the vote, forcing the eventual victor, Paul von Hindenburg, into a runoff election.
After a bigger landslide in July 1932 (44%), their vote declined and their movement weakened (Hitler lost the presidential election to WWI veteran Paul von Hindenburg in April; elections of November 1932 roughly 42%), so Hitler decided to enter a coalition government as chancellor in January 1933. Upon the death of Hindenburg in August 1934, Hitler was the consensus successor. With an improving economy, Hitler claimed credit and consolidated his position as a dictator, having succeeded in eliminating challenges from other political parties and government institutions. The German industrial machine was built up in preparation for war. In November 1937, he was comfortable enough to call his top military aides together at the "Führer Conference," when he outlined his plans for a war of aggression in Europe. Those who objected to the plan were dismissed."
There is a historical relationship between the misdirected dark eugenics and so-called German racial purification doctrines of Hitler and the emerging philosophical evolution of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Read http://townhall.com/columnists/carolineglick/2011/02/04/israel_and_arab_democracy
The Muslim Brothers' organizational prowess and willingness to use violence to achieve their aims was likely demonstrated within hours of the start of the unrest. Shortly after the demonstrations began, operatives from the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood branch in Gaza – that is Hamas – knew to cross the border into Sinai. And last Thursday, a police station in Suez was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and firebombs.
Hamas has a long history of operations in Sinai.
It also has close ties with Beduin gangs in the area that were reportedly involved in attacking another police station in northern Sinai.
Western – and particularly American – willingness to pretend that the Muslim Brotherhood is anything other than a totalitarian movement has been greeted by disbelief and astonishment by Israelis from across the political spectrum.
A Pew Research Center opinion survey of Arab attitudes towards Jews from June 2009 makes this clear. Ninety-five percent of Egyptians, 97% of Jordanians and Palestinians and 98% of Lebanese expressed unfavorable opinions of Jews. Threequarters of Turks, Pakistanis and Indonesians also expressed hostile views of Jews.
Throughout the Arab and Muslim world, genocidal anti-Semitic propaganda is all-pervasive. And as Prof. Robert Wistrich has written, "The ubiquity of the hate and prejudice exemplified by this hard-core anti-Semitism undoubtedly exceeds the demonization of earlier historical periods – whether the Christian Middle Ages, the Spanish Inquisition, the Dreyfus Affair in France, or the Judeophobia of Tsarist Russia. The only comparable example would be that of Nazi Germany in which we can also speak of an 'eliminationist anti- Semitism' of genocidal dimensions, which ultimately culminated in the Holocaust."
"That is why for most Israelis, the issue of how Arabs are governed is as irrelevant as the results of the 1852 US presidential elections were for American blacks. Since both parties excluded them, they were indifferent to who was in power."
In order to sift through the American Big Media spin regarding the MB, one must acknowledge that there is a now a double-sided looking-glass media environment in America, one which began to polarize during the George W. Bush era. Two distinct sets of national media outlets report two different and often distinctly clashing sets of facts on nearly every world and national event: the "left's" version and world view vs. the "right's" version and world view. Independent impartial reporting and actual journalism has all but disappeared.
This was made clear to me just the other day when I asked a close friend what she knew of, and thought about the "Muslim Brotherhood." She immediately began quoting the "Democracy Now" website where she gets 90% of her news.
Somewhere along the way my friend had concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood was and still is a calm, peaceful, nonviolent law abiding moderate spiritual movement in the Mideast which advocates for peaceful unity of Muslims around the world. She knew nothing about their goal of global Jihad, of a world ruled by Mullahs under sharia law, and their desire to "die for Allah" as their highest life's aspiration. How she came to this conclusion I will never know, but my gut and everything I have ever read about Wahhabi Islam screams that just the opposite is true about the Muslim Brotherhood. I would add that Hillary Clinton is in way over her head here.
The Muslim Brotherhood will and often does resort to violence to achieve their goals.
To understand the Muslim Brotherhood of 2011 we have to go all the way back to the early 20th century in 1902. The MB is rooted in the early 20th century redrafting of fundamentalist Wahhabi Islam, which was revived between 1902 and 1928 by an Islamic religious radical, a Wahhabi tribesman named Ibn Saud, who was intent on conquering and restructuring the immense land region and locale that we now know as Saudi Arabia.
Wahhabi Islam is a radical fundamentalist sect of Islam which was founded in the 18th century by Mohammad Ibn Addul Al-Wahhab. Wahhabism is based on the premise that any teachings added to Islam after the tenth century are false.
It is the most severe retrograde version of the Islamic faith, and is the driving force behind the modern radical Islamic global Jihad movement. Wahhabism envisions a global Islamic empire, ruled by Wahhabi Holy men, based on this strict and puritanical interpretation of tenth century Islamic teachings, with any other forms of law to become null and void. It is, to put it bluntly, a regression of all societal laws back to the tenth century's understanding of the world and how it should be ruled.
During that period between 1902 and 1927 Saudi Arabia was terrorized by the newly resurrected "Wahhabi" Muslims seeking to enforce their version of radical Islam onto the surrounding tribes, villages and communities. Violence was commonplace. The Wahhabi religious extremists were eventually routed from Saudi Arabia, and many of them went into exile in Egypt in the early 1920s. That is the backdrop for how Egypt eventually became a hotbed of religious Islamic extremism which eventually set it's sights on raising a global Jihad aimed at destroying America and the West.
In 1928 the Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt. It's goal was stated to eventually achieve global Islamic rule under strict Sharia Law. This would be done via global Jihad.
In Egypt the Muslim Brotherhood was organized by Hassan El Banna. Banna's organization became the genesis for today's Egyptian Jihadi and Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood is most definitely rooted in Wahhabi Islam, the most radicalized, regressive and violent form of Islam.
One of the clearly stated goals of Wahhabi Islam is to rid the Mideast of all non-Arabs by whatever means necessary. This dark and racist eugenics doctrine advocating of the elimination of all non-Arabs from the Middle East is what gave the Nazi Storm Troopers a "goal in common" with the members of the 1930s and 40s era Muslim Brotherhood, and was the basis for their deepening bonds during World War II.
See http://www.danielpipes.org/comments/163591
"In the 1920′s there was a young Egyptian named al Bana. And al Bana formed this nationalist group called the Muslim Brotherhood. Al Bana was a devout admirer of Adolph Hitler and wrote to him frequently. So persistent was he in his admiration of the new Nazi Party that in the 1930′s, al-Bana and the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD became a SECRET ARM OF NAZI INTELLIGENCE.
The Arab Nazis had much in common with the new Nazi doctrines. They hated Jews; they hated democracy; and they hated the Western culture. It became the official policy of the Third Reich to secretly develop the Muslim Brotherhood as the fifth Parliament, an army inside Egypt.
…We will not stop at this point [i.e., "freeing Egypt from secularism and modernity"], but will pursue this evil force to its own lands, invade its Western heartland, and struggle to overcome it until all the world shouts by the name of the Prophet and the teachings of Islam spread throughout the world. Only then will Muslims achieve their fundamental goal… and all religion will be exclusively for Allah.
Al-Banna was quite clear that his goal was not solely an anti-colonialist struggle in Egypt nor the refurbishment of Islam, but rather a world revolution that would establish Islam as the dominant religion of the entire world: (Habeck, Knowing the enemy p. 120)"
This eugenics philosophy is aimed directly at the elimination of Jews, the Jewish nation, and of Israel itself. Also included in this 1930s era ethnic cleansing plan of the Muslim Brotherhood was the elimination of all Americans and westerners. Most Americans are woefully uninformed about how severe the doctrines and beliefs of Wahhabi Islam really are. It is no different than what Hitler tried to do during World War II, with his stated aim of eliminating all Jews from the face of the earth.
As far as Wahhabi Islamic Jihadists are concerned, Israel has no right to exist whatsoever.
It goes without saying that the Muslim Brotherhood shares this Wahhabi sentiment. In fact, between 1933 and 2002, the Muslim Brotherhood united in premise and intention with the Third Reich.
In 1933 the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, who also the Grand Mufti of the Islamic faith in Jerusalem, visited the Third Reich and was photographed frequently touring the SS Storm Trooper ranks with high ranking German SS officers. He spent World War II at Hitler's side in Germany.
It should be noted as well that in 1933 Nazi parties sprang up throughout the Arab world. Abdul Hammal Nasser was the Egyptian head of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1933. He went on to later become the President of Egypt. Egypt's early 1930s political slogan: "One Folk, One Party One Leader" was a direct translation of a German Nazi political slogan.
Between 1939 and 1945, Syria's version of the Muslim Brotherhood was known as "The Social Nationalist Party", led by Anton Saada. Saada was also known as the "Syrian Fuhrer".
The Nazi Muslim troops who were enthusiastically recruited by Mohammad Amin al-Husayni for Hitler were often referred to by members of the Third Reich as the "Cream of Islam." This recruiting and raising of Muslim Nazi armies in the Mideast took place between 1939 and 1945.

Mohammad Amin al-Husayni, In office from: 1922–1937[ Biographical data from Wikipedia glosses over Al-Husayni's extensive Nazi Training, Nazi War Activities and his devotion to Adolf Hitler's dream of exterminating the Jews ]"Mohammad Amin al-Husayni (Arabic: محمد أمين الحسيني, often printed with the French transliteration al-Husseini,[1] 1895/1897 – July 4, 1974), a member of the al-Husayni clan of Jerusalem, was a Palestinian Arab nationalist and Muslim leader in the British Mandate of Palestine. In a report of recently declassified information by the American government and published in the National Archives, the British head of Palestine's Criminal Investigation Division told an American military attaché that the Mufti might be the only person who could unite the Palestine Arabs and "cool off the Zionists." [2]. From 1921 to 1948, he was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and, as a virulent antisemite,[3][4][5] he played a key role in opposition to Zionism and a state for the Jews living in Palestine and collaborated with the Nazis[6]. As early as 1920, Al-Husayni was active in both opposing the British in order to secure the independence of Palestine as an Arab state and led violent riots against Jews [7] opposing the establishment of a National home for the Jewish people in Palestine. His oppositional role peaked during the 1936-1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. In 1937, wanted by the British, he fled Palestine and took refuge successively in the French Mandate of Lebanon, the Kingdom of Iraq, Fascist Italy and finally Nazi Germany. In Germany he met dictator Adolf Hitler in 1941.[8] He asked Hitler to back Arab independence and requested that Nazi Germany oppose, as part of the Pan-Arab struggle, the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine (the future creation of Israel).[9] The Muslim Mufti was paid "an absolute fortune" of 50,000 marks a month (when a German field marshal was making 25,000 marks a year).[2] According the the American report, al-Husayni energetically recruited Muslims for the SS, the Nazi Party's elite military command, was promised that he would be installed as the leader of Palestine after German troops had driven out the British and exterminated the more than 350,000 Jews living there[10]. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War he represented the Arab Higher Committee and opposed both the 1947 UN Partition Plan and King Abdullah's ambitions for expanding Jordan by capturing parts of Palestine. Husayni himself was allowed to flee after the war to Syria — he was in the custody of the French, who did not want to alienate Middle East regimes [4]. After the 1948 War and the subsequent Palestinian exodus, his claims to leadership were discredited in the eyes of some, and he was eventually sidelined by the Palestine Liberation Organization and lost most of his remaining political influence.[11] Al-Husayni died in Beirut, Lebanon in 1974." |
Al-Husayni was fervent in his devotion to the Nazi cause and imported Hitler's Nazi doctrines and methodologies into Egypt and the Mideast by 1941.
He eventually became a wanted man and fled to Egypt to live in hiding. He was wanted in Great Britain and in Yugoslavia in 1944 for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Just in case the reader is not making these connections, let me make this clear. The man who founded the Arab League in 1944, who was instrumental in molding the Muslim Brotherhood was the same man, a top Muslim religious Mufti, who also raised Nazi armies in the Mideast under Hitler's direct guidance, and was both a radical Islamic Muslim, as well as a Muslim Nazi, who murdered via "ethnic cleansing" entire groups of Jews, gypsies and other ethnic minorities in the Mideast and Europe during WWII.
By now the reader should understand that there is a direct historical relationship between Wahhabi Islam, Nazi racial extermination and eugenics philosophies, the Muslim religious fanaticism of eliminating all non-Arab "infidels", the formation of the original Arab League, the earlier formative years of the Muslim Brotherhood and the current stated goals and intentions of radical Islamic global Jihad. This is a toxic and murderous philosophical brew and there is no real or actual Godliness in it. Using the pretext of religious piety and false spiritual reasoning to justify the mass carnage which will eventuate from any "global jihad" is, in and of itself, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Radical Islam via the Wahhabi sect's present philosophical platform is a false religion, based on hatred, misogyny, cruelty, barbarism, racism, and abhorrent ethnic cleaning. The fact that these beliefs are mandated by so called religious "law" aka "sharia law" is a clear example of cognitive dissonance and an oxymoron. That is the same dark and misdirected doctrine of hate which became the philosophical platform which gave birth to both the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928, and to the original Arab League later, in 1944, right after the collapse of Hitler's Nazi Germany.
It should be noted that Al-Husayni, although on the run by 1940, was elected "in Absentia" as the head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jerusalem. He also played a pivotal role in the formation of the Arab League in 1944. Among the Arab League's original stated goals were:
1) Racial ethnic cleansing of the Mideast
2) global Wahhabi Islamic rule under Sharia Law
3) the elimination from the Miseast of all non Arab races, primarily Jews and American / Westerners
4) The destruction of western civilization via global Jihad
The founding countries were Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. Mohammad Amin al-Husayni was the President and Co-founder of the League in 1944.
{Above} The Formation of the Arab League in 1944
After the war, the perpetration of Nazi doctrines by the Muslim Brotherhood continued unabated. Between 1949 and 1952 under the auspices of the alleged "Odessa Network" many fleeing Nazis joined the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria. Nazi experts in the dissemination of SS style propaganda flooded into the government and armed forces of Egypt and Syria.
In 1948 a young Egyptian born Yasser Arafat joined the Muslim Brotherhood and from age 17 on Arafat was personally mentored and trained by Al-Husayni. Yasser Arafat is a name very familiar to baby boomers in my age group.
In later years Arafat's radical PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, waged incessant bloody guerrilla war and acts of terror upon Israel for over 20 years. These nonstop terror attacks and brutal suicide bombings plagued Israel throughout Arafat's reign as head of the PLO. The bloodshed was practically nonstop. If you still have not made up your mind about the Muslim Brotherhood take a quick look back in time to the days of Yasser Arafat and you will recall the bloodbath which marked his leadership of the Palestinian people.
Mohammad Amin al-Husayni provided safe haven for these fleeing Nazis in Egypt. In America, Nazi war criminals were secretly provided safe haven in exchange for their rocketeering and other high technology skills under Operation Paperclip. This grisly and shameful action on the part of our government was only recently admitted, and created a media firestorm here and abroad.
Al-Husayni's resume of diabolical evil in the name of Islam eventually became even more unbelievable after the war. He collaborated with Swiss banker Francois' Genoud, who had handled banking crime for the Third Reich, and together they allegedly funded and financed activities of the Odessa Network in Egypt with funds that were plundered from prominent European Jewish families who had been murdered by the Nazis.
Every American who understands how high the stakes are in the Middle East should realize that the historical roots of today's Muslim Brotherhood crossed paths with Hitler's dream of world conquest nearly 80 years ago, and at that time the two philosophies converged in their shared hatred of the Jewish people and all non-Arabs. Racism is racism is racism. There are no other names for it. Political and so called spiritual movements which are founded on such racist doctrines are destined to generate violence by their inherent natures. Choosing to enter into negotiations with the Muslim Brotherhood is a dance with the devil that should not be undertaken under any circumstances. Once again our American leaders in the White House are failing the Will of the American people.
Historically, our country has NEVER negotiated with racist terrorists, and we have always been an ally to Israel. We are betraying our better natures, ourselves and Israel by considering any negotiations with the Muslim Brotherhood.

How the Egyptian Revolt Will Recast the Middle East
Re-posted from the Global Geo-politics news blog on 11.16.2012
Cited from the Debbie Schlussel news blog on 11.15.2012:
"I've long written about the infiltration of Central Command at MacDill Air Base in Tampa by Islamic terrorists. Islamic Jihad founder and convicted Islamic terrorist, Sami Al-Arian, was an instructor on the Middle East to our top generals at MacDill Air Force Base AT THE VERY SAME TIME that he was planning mergers and terrorist attacks in Israel with "the brothers of HAMAS" and while he was bringing Muslim illegal alien Islamic terrorists to the U.S. Al-Arian's friend and co-conspirator, Ramadan Abdullah Shallah (one of those Al-Arian brought here), who became the Secretary-General of the worldwide Islamic Jihad terrorist group, was also a lecturer at MacDill and also taught our top generals his poisonous views on the Middle East and Israel. FBI and INS agents who investigated Shallah and Al-Arian were alarmed at the influence these two top Islamic terrorists had over CentCom. They were also alarmed to find many books on the inner workings of MacDill in Shallah's house when they raided it.
So when people ask me how I think these women were able to insert themselves into top generals' lives and topple them (along with, apparently, the men they married), I think back to the fact that our top generals gladly allowed top terrorists to infiltrate Central Command as alleged "professors" on the Middle East. And when generals like Petraeus and Norman Schwarzkopf, Jr. openly attack Israel and America's relationship with Israel, people like Jill Khawam Kelley and Al-Arian and Shallah are the reason why. Khawam Kelley isn't an innocent socialite. She's an agent of influence for Arab Muslim nations."
Jill Khawam Kelley was the hand-picked lobbyist for Muslim nations and their agenda at Central Command.
Kelley, who is part of the soap opera that the Petraeus scandal spawned, was in charge of hosting parties and social events to push the Islamic agenda of Middle Eastern countries. She was seen by Muslim Mid-East nations, especially Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon, as the "go to" woman to push their agenda on top American generals. She was a lobbyist for their cause and, yet, wasn't required to register as a lobbyist, like all others who host lavish parties for top American officials, like she did, in an attempt to influence U.S. policy in the Middle East.
Kelley, a dhimmi Christian Arab of Lebanese descent, was well known in the Muslim Arab embassies of Washington for doing their bidding and hosting their parties at and near MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, where our nation's top generals are based. It's where Central Command–the U.S. Armed Forces' leadership over wars and military personnel Middle East–is headquartered.
Kelley's sister, Natalie Khawam, was married to a top Bush administration official, Grayson Wolfe, Director of Broader Middle East Initiatives and Iraqi Reconstruction at the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and frequently accompanied him on trips to the Middle East, including to Pakistan. Before that position, Wolfe was the Bush-installed Manager of the Private Sector Development Office of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad, Iraq. How many of the Khawam's insider Arab Muslim friends did he give sweetheart contracts to? Before It's News has more and asks more questions about the consulting and contracting firm that Wolfe now heads. Although they are now embroiled in a bitter custody fight over their son, you have to wonder what influence Khawam had on him and what was done in the Middle East. She recently sued her former employer, a Jewish lawyer, Barry Cohen, but gave up after her lawsuit was shown to be phony. Cohen struck back and found that Khawam engaged in bankruptcy fraud.
My friend wasn't so far-fetched when he insisted the Khawam chicks are modern day Mata Haris for the Muslim Arabs.

Kelley's Twin's Husband: The Murky Back Story
"People will rise from the East, preparing the way for the re-appearance of the Imam Mahdi."
- quoted from an Iranian video proclaiming the imminent appearance of the Muslim Savior, who is the known to many American theologians as the Christian Antichrist.
Was the 2011 "Arab Spring" a prophesied spiritual sign which American Christians should study? I have written about certain Mideastern predictions of their coming "last Imam", the 12th Mecca Imam or the Imam Mahdi, several times during the last few years. Today I am giving readers an update in advance of 2012.
The Iranian government is presently engaged in a massive public education effort to inform their citizens and those of neighboring Muslim states that the rise of the Imam Mahdi, their "last Muslim savior" is imminent. They are also teaching their people that when the Imam Mahdi arrives on the world scene, he will make Iraq the seat of his world government, specifically the town of Kufa, or Al-Kufah. This sleepy village is south of Baghdad [ see map].
At the end of this essay I have posted two videos which are English translations of the Iranian propaganda machine's present efforts to prepare their people for the arrival of the Imam Mahdi and for war. There is not a doubt in my mind that when of if US forces withdraw from Iraq, that Iran will quickly sweep in and begin anew their own conquest of the region, based on what's being set forth in these two videos which I have posted below at the end of this report.
The Iranian people see the rise of the Imam Mahdi as a time heralding the arrival of a global government of 'peace, prosperity and justice'. [ See the highlighted quote in this Iranian news article: http://worldmeets.us/kayhan000061.shtml#axzz1evPi8sCn ]
This would imply that Iran supports the longstanding globalist UN mandate which is attempting to march the nations of the world toward an eventual dissolution of their own sovereignty and into an international super-state. Many American Christians are vehemently opposed to this plan of future world governance, myself being one of them. The UN's well known alignment with the Luciferian philosophies of the Lucis Trust and other new age think tanks place their world governance plans squarely at odds with American Christendom.
Cited: "There is therefore no doubt that only this anticipated savior [ Muslim Imam Mahdi ] will be capable of establishing a global government of peace, prosperity, and justice and cleanse the earth of all vestiges of corruption and oppression."
Read: http://worldmeets.us/ http://worldmeets.us/kayhan000061.shtml#ixzz1evYUPo6x
I ponder how Muslims arrive at this conclusion, inasmuch as the arrival of the Imam Mahdi has long been prophesied to be eventually accompanied by 'the war to end all wars', or World War three. This war breaks out midway into his conquest of the nations.
The two opposing faiths [ Islam and Christianity] have wildly different interpretations of who is who, and what they will do as the Imam Mahdi arrives on the world scene at the converging apex of Last Days events. There is no compromise possible between the root core beliefs of Islam and those of biblical Christianity. Any pretense that such a negotiated "meeting of theological minds" and / or "merging of the two faiths" is possible, is both flawed and erroneous, tantamount to sin itself, as it infers blasphemy against the Divinity of Jesus Christ. Islamic belief holds that Jesus was a mortal prophet and nothing else.
The final Son of Perdition, or the Imam Mahdi, is said in the book of Daniel to "enter peaceably, by flatteries." This is what the KJV Christian Bible teaches. Islam's "savior" aka their Imam Mahdi is known as our "final Son of Perdition" or the final Antichrist. He is a man of the knowledge of "dark sentences" – a "vile person," a man who "destroys wonderfully." He is described as a man who knows how to "forecast his devices" against his enemies, a man who will "speak lies at the table." He will be the man who first makes a covenant with Israel, and then soon thereafter breaks this covenant as "his heart shall be against the holy covenant." [ Daniel 11:28 KJV ]
We must adhere to the precepts of Christendom, as our founding fathers understood them. Our nation was founded on those precepts and one of them was the freedom to worship and practice biblical Christianity as the soul desired so greatly to engage. Jesus Christ was not "just another human prophet." He was the living incarnation of God the Father made manifest in the flesh to mortal men as Jesus of Nazareth. Further, He was the word incarnate, the Word made flesh.
This cosmic fact and Divine miracle supersedes all lesser religious and doctrinal understandings and stands as the truth barometer against which we measure the religions of the world. Any religion which omits this all important fact is depriving the souls of men and women with the historical information they need to understand what a unique and unprecedented spiritual event took place on this world just a little more than 2,000 years ago with the birth and life of Jesus Christ. The fact that Jesus promised us that He would return is even more staggering to ponder.
I don't pretend to be an expert on this complex subject, but everything I read in translated Muslim articles from the Mideast appears to be a supreme distortion and an ongoing obfuscation of the true facts about the Lord Jesus Christ as presented in the Christian Holy Bible.
"According to Shi'ite Muslim teaching, the Mahdi will return at the end of time to rule for 7 years. We call this period "the Tribulation…. Ahmadinejad and his cabinet say they have a 'signed contract' with Mahdi in which they pledge themselves to his work. What does this work involve? The wiping Israel off the map and conquering the entire globe."
"The Mahdi will reappear at the Holy Kaaba in Mecca, at which time the entire world will be informed of his advent. He will root out superstition and distortion by reviving the pure and pristine message of Islam as taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He will proceed to Iraq, where he will choose the city of Al-Kufah as the seat of his global government of peace, prosperity and justice."
I must and of course will always abide by the Christian teachings of the Holy Bible. Bible prophecy has already been fulfilled so many times since the return of the Hebrew people to their ancient homeland in Israel in 1948, that, for me, there is no argument as to which set of scriptures are real, reflecting God's Will and intent for humankind, and which are the opposing false scriptures set forth upon the earth to deceive humankind and re-designate Jesus as a mere mortal prophet, denying that He was the incarnate Son of God.
The Lineage of the 12th Imam aka the Imam Mahdi [ as cited from Wikipedia ]
Hasan al-AskariHasan al-'Askarī (Arabic: الإمام الحسن بن علي العسكري) (Eighth of Rabi' al-thani 232 AH – Eighth of Rabi' al-awwal 260 AH;[1] approximately: 1 December 846 – 1 January 874) was the eleventh of the Twelve Imams. His given name was Hasan ibn 'Alī ibn Muhammad. His title al-Askari derives from the Arabic word Asker which means military.He was given this title mainly because the city he lived in (Samarra) was a military camp.[3] Hasan al-'Askarī was 22, when his father was killed. The period of his Imāmate, following his father's death, was six years. Hasan Al-'Askarī died at the age of 28 in the year, 260 Hijra and was buried in Samarra.[4]
Quotations related to Hasan al-'Askarī at Wikiquote
1. FamilyHasan al-Askari, whose ancestor was the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, was born in Medina.His father was Imam Ali al-Hadi (a.s.), the tenth Imam of the Shia. He was from the masters of the Ahlul Bayt.[3] His mother was a bondmaid from an-Nawbah.[3] Historians disagreed on her name. Some of them said her name was Saleel which was the most correct according to the previous tradition of Imam al-Hadi (a.s.). Some said she was called Sawsan. Others said her name was Hadithah, and others said Hareebah.[3]2. Oppression by the Abbasid CaliphsHasan al-Askari lived almost his entire life under house arrest in Samarra and under supervision of Abbasid caliphs.3. Tafsir al-AskariHe was very knowledgeable and despite being confined to house arrest for almost his entire life, Hasan al-Askari was able to teach others about Islam, and even compiled a commentary on the Qur'an that would be used by later scholars. This became known as Tafsir al-Askari. However, there was many suspicion regarding whether or not it truly was his or not. The Tafsir was accused by some to be weak in its chain of authorities (Sanad), which is an essential part of the transmission of a tradition.[5] The tafsir was also questioned because it contained a few inconstancies and lacks eloquence which some claim ruin its validity by default. The main reason people questioned the validity of the Tafsir is the fact that the Imam was under constant watch by the Abbasid government who prevented any contact between him and the Shi'i so it would make it impossible for such knowledge to be transferred.[3]4.

12 Ways To Make Your Passwords Stronger |
Submitted by: jim garnett 03/27/2012 1:53 AM |
Years ago, when you heard the word 'password,' you thought of what one said to gain entrance into your gang's backyard clubhouse. Or maybe the 'code' one spy gave to another to verify he was the official contact. Or possibly you thought of the TV game show that Allen Ludden hosted and Betty White was a frequent contestant. But today the word 'password' has come to mean something that most all of us use on a daily basis. In our world of technology, a password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for authentication, to prove identity, or gain access to information that we do not want others to know. Because some of these 'others' living among us would simply love to know what we know and have what we have, we must make sure our passwords are 'strong', that is, difficult enough that they do not guess what they are. Here are 10 suggestions for making your passwords stronger. 1. Use longer passwords that comprise 8'15 characters. 2. Take a memorable phrase or song title and use the first letter of each word for the password. For instance 'to be or not to be, that is the question' becomes 'tbontbtitq.' 3. Capitalize certain characters of your password, say the second and third characters; hence 'tbontbtitq' becomes 'tB0ntbtitq.' 4. Include numbers and symbols in your password like ` ! ' ? $ ? % ^ & * ( ) _ ' + = { [ } ] : ; @ ' ~ # | < , > . ? /. 5. Avoid using information that is easily obtainable from your social network page like Facebook such as your first or last name, phone number, brand of car, street name, your family pet, or hobby. 6. Do not use a repetition of letters, characters, or numbers or use numbers in a sequence like '23456789' 7. Use different passwords for different kinds of sites ' email, social networks, financial institutions, and e-commerce sites ' and a different password for infrequently visited or untrustworthy sites. 8. Consider treating your password as multiple parts: a central core and a prefix and/or suffix when needed that is specific to the service the password protects. For example: your core might be 'gPw4' (that is, 'generic Password for - ') and then if it's a password for a newspaper website like the New York Times, you might choose to add 'NYt' to the beginning or end of the password ('NYtgPw4'), while your password for eBay auctions might be 'gPw4eBa' and your Yahoo! email password could be 'gP4Y!e'. 9. Have a totally separate password for email accounts. Many sites have 'Forgot my password' buttons that, when clicked, initiate a password-recovery process by email. Hackers who break into an email account can then intercept those emails and take control of each account registered using that address. 10. Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter 'O' or '$' for the letter 'S'. 11. Don't use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary. 12. Include phonetic replacements, such as 'Luv 2 Laf' for 'Love to Laugh'. There are numerous 'password testing' sites where you can see how strong your password is and get valuable suggestions as to how you can make it more secure. Here are a few of the sites: www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/password-checker.aspx, www.geekwisdom.com/dyn/passwdmeter, www.passwordmeter.com/, http://unwrongest.com/projects/password-strength/, http://://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php. - Jim Garnett. |
