I'm especially excited about announcing London Bride's newest sponsor because, well, I seem to have a shopping addiction with buying decorative items and can often be found sourcing them from Peach Blossom! They are UK based (hurrah!) and offer all the fun little touches in their online shop from stripy straws, paper fans, giant balloons, cute party paper bags and for those twine addicts, lots of baker's twine too! It's run by Alyssa who has always been super helpful and runs a prompt service, I've often used Peach Blossom as a resource for planning and styling my own couples weddings! So if you are looking for stylish party or wedding decorations then Peach Blossom should be your first (and perhaps last!) stop!

Wallowa River/ Grande Ronde River Rafting
Boating on one of Oregon's Wild and Scenic Rivers
Come join the Catlin Outdoor Program for three days of rafting on the scenic Wallowa and Grand Ronde Rivers in beautiful Eastern Oregon. This 46 mile stretch of river has everything one would hope for in a river trip: some exciting rapids, beautiful canyons, as well as the potential for sightings of Bald Eagle, big game, and shorebirds. The group will rent boats and start the adventure in Minam, OR. From here, we will work our way downstream, stopping to camp in the abundant and secluded campsites along the shore of the river. We will be able to take side hikes when we are not on the water. We will conclude our time on the river by taking out in Troy before getting back on the bus to head to Portland.
The trip is open to Upper School students and the cost is $175.
To sign up send an email to email@example.com
As with all trips, financial aid is available. Financial aid information can be found online at www.catlin.edu/middle/outdoor-program, in the Outdoor Program office, or by contacting Joe Walsh in the Business Office email@example.com.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minnesota backup quarterback Max Shortell has decided to transfer to another school following freshman Philip Nelson's takeover of the position.
Coach Jerry Kill said Tuesday that he respects the Kansas native's choice and "will help him in any way" he can.
Shortell started two games last season when MarQueis Gray was injured. He threw three touchdown passes in relief of Gray against Western Michigan on Sept. 15 and started three more games while Gray was hurt, but the sophomore was picked off three times at Iowa on Sept. 29 and injured against Northwestern on Oct. 13. Nelson got the job the following week.
Shortell has thrown for eight touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 54 percent completion rate in his career.

Lorton's . will be open Monday for the filming of an independent film scene. The Senior Prank is an independent anti-bullying film about a prank gone wrong and lessons learned.
The coffee shop scene will be filmed throughout the day. Customers will be able to quietly observe with a hot cup of coffee or a free slice from the breadboard.
The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m and will feature a limited menu.
"It's very exciting," said Great Harvest co-owner Jeffrey Connelly. "We aren't usually open on Mondays, but we're making a special exception this time."
The Senior Prank is the story of high schoolers, who, as a joke, elect a girl with Down syndrome to be their homecoming queen.
"The scene has three people in it — a customer with Down syndrome, another customer and a person behind the counter. The customer isn't happy and has a bias against people with Down," said Great Harvest co-owner Jeanette Scott Moler.
And why the Lorton and not Burke Great Harvest? "It's just bigger and more attractive," said Connelly.
So, will you be at Great Harvest on Monday? Patch will be there, and we'll report back with details.

A 5 1/2-foot-tall reticulated giraffe was born 10 days ago at the Memphis Zoo.
In a statement Friday by The Zoo, the 115-pound baby girl giraffe is named Maliki. She was born Jan. 16. Her mother is 19-year-old Marilyn. This is the fourth calf for Marilyn, and the sixth sired by Kenya in the past seven years.
The addition of Maliki increases The Zoo's giraffe herd to nine.
"Marilyn is a great, experienced mother," said Matt Thompson, Director of Animal Programs at The Memphis Zoo. "We're always excited about the birth of a healthy baby, but I'm especially pleased because Maliki inherited her mother's beautiful coloring. She has her mother's dark face, which is something the other calves haven't had."
Baby Maliki and her mother, Marilyn have already been out on exhibit, The Zoo said. She will be spending short amounts of time on exhibit between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., however, due to cold temperatures, The Zoo's animal staff will continue to rotate them on and off exhibit.
Reticulated giraffes give birth standing, and are one of the few animals born with horns on their heads. This is to protect them from a 6-foot fall to the ground at birth. Reticulated giraffes are native to Africa and can grow between 15 and 17 feet tall. Females weigh around 2,500 pounds, while males weigh around 3,500.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This crack is not listed in the new Haas/Schneider guide. It looked like a fun crack and it has anchors, so I gave it a go. It is likely a Dan Hare route, or that is my guess anyway.
This crack is located between Volobee and Tenacious. There is a two bolt anchor with rings at the top. Start in front of a large block at the base containing a fist crack. The crack above the block is thin and goes through an obvious, small roof.
Gear to a #2 Camalot. The upper crack takes mostly small nuts. A #4 Camalot will protect the moves in the fist crack at the bottom. There is a two Fixe ring bolt anchor at the top.

CHICAGO – Cinemax's ominous new series "The Knick" is a hospital drama that's very much in the voice of its director, Steven Soderbergh. Set in New York City at the turn of the 20th century, the series presents the medical world as it inches closer and closer to modernity, while making contemporary parallels to the desperate hustle by surgery room clients and their doctors alike regarding treatment of the human body. What has changed in the politics of medicine? What hasn't?

The sun smiled down on our city Friday, a perfect start to what's expected to be a gorgeous springtime weekend. But weather as nice as this can sometimes include an unseen, not-so-nice effect.
Barry Lefer is an associate professor at the University of Houston's Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
"Ozone is a strong lung irritant," Lefer said. " So when you breathe it in, it burns your lungs. So it's like getting a sunburn on your lungs and makes it difficult to breathe."
Researchers, like Lefer, have been monitoring ozone levels for decades, using machines to monitor air quality, and studying up on the science behind the main ingredient in smog.
Two years ago, Lefer teamed up with Dan Price, a research assistant professor at UH's Honor College, to create a smart phone app so user friendly, "non-scientific types" can get and most importantly understand the information they've spent years studying.
"You can program in things like your kids school," Price said. " Sometimes being under a tree cover or being inside a bit longer, like when you're doing stretching exercise, things like that can make a difference."
The free app is available for the I Phone and Android. Ozone danger levels are color coded. Users can plug in a specific address or location, select a date and even pick a time, right down to within a few minutes.
The state of Texas has a monitoring map, but as Lefer's wife found out, it runs an hour behind.
"Basically she found out after she went out for a run that she shouldn't have gone. The levels were high so it's basically putting out old information."
It took 2 years, a 450 thousand dollar grant, a partnership with Air Alliance Houston, the American Lung Association, and help from a computer programming professor and graduate student to get the apps up and running.
"So when I started (graduate) school, the internet wasn't (around)," Lefer said.
"There wasn't even email."
The mobile app can be found at www.houstoncleanairnetwork.com.

Who We Are
The Valley Church campus is surrounded by the mystery and beauty of God's creation. The sanctuary looks out on an ancient redwood grove through a wall of glass. The reflection from the stained glass cross appears to dance in the center of the grove. This architecture profoundly impacts the worship, theology, and life of the faith community. One colleague says, "Visitors come for the view, but they come back for the community." He is right.
The high energy congregation draws people from all over the Bay Area. The 300 member church includes Stanford University students, staff, and faculty, leaders and workers of Silicon Valley, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, and musicians. There is a healthy mix of ages and theological perspectives. What we share is a longing for a connection with community, an experience with the Holy, and meaningful ways to serve in the larger community.
Our vision statement reads:
The VPC family is called to risk the Spirit-led journey,
We try to do a few things well, rather than be all things. We focus on four areas:
Our Larger Family - Valley Presbyterian Church is part of the family of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The denomination has approximately 2.3 million members, more than 10,000 congregations and 14,000 ordained and active ministers. Presbyterians trace their history to the 16th century and the Protestant Reformation. Our heritage, and much of what we believe, began with John Calvin (1509-1564), whose writings crystallized much of the Reformed thinking that came before him.

Seven Sermons to the Dead
Seven Sermons to the Dead (Latin: Septem Sermones ad Mortuos) is a text written in 1916 by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung and ascribed to the gnostic teacher Basilides. Somewhat in the style of the Red Book, yet more unified, the booklet was printed privately for Jung's friends but not widely available until it appeared as an appendix in his autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections in 1961.[1] The text speaks cryptically about the Pleroma, the Abraxas and the soul; therein, Jung also discusses his principle of Individuation and warns of the mystical tendency to "unite" with God, which he interprets as a dangerous psychological desire to identify with the unconscious.
That is one of the great difficulties in experiencing the unconscious—that one identifies with it and becomes a fool. You must not identify with the unconscious; you must keep outside, detached, and observe objectively what happens ... it is exceedingly difficult to accept such a thing, because we are so imbued with the fact that our unconscious is our own—my unconscious, his unconscious, her unconscious—and our prejudice is so strong that we have the greatest trouble disidentifying.—Jung, C. G. (1996), The Psychology of Kundalini Yoga: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1922 by C. G. Jung, Sonu Shamdasani (Ed.). Bollingen Series XCIX. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.[2]
A commentary upon the work was written by the gnostic bishop Stephan A. Hoeller.[3] When Hoeller inquired with the editor of The Red Book, Sonu Shamdasani, about the relationship of the two books, Shamdasani said that the Seven Sermons was like an island, but the Red Book is like a vast continent.[4]

but I just ask that people recognize when skill is there. Ya, it's only been 2 weeks, yes I know we still have a lot to prove to go from "pretender to contender" (according to NFL No Huddle) and I know that it takes time to build these things.
I want to revisit our wonderful friend Heath Evans, this guy, seriously, is the worst analyst I know. For those that don't know, I went to VCU, during our awesome final four fun, we had pundits (namely Joe Lunardi and Dick Vitale and ESPECIALLY Jay Bilas) make claims that "VCU has no talent, they don't deserve it, they can't do this, they will fail here and there, etc." I am used to the crap-flinging and non-faith, but this is just ridiculous.
Minnesota is going to be a tough fight, and as much as we want to overlook them (we being the fans) I think we still don't have a lot to hold a candle to, don't get me wrong, I have been a lions fan for 12 years and this is the strongest I can remember them (besides the Barry years) I know we have the potential I just think it's going to take a lot more to prove ourselves. Our fans have said this time and time again, we can keep winning *knock on wood* but the more we win the more people will doubt. To go back to my earlier example, when VCU did make it to the final four, and lost, those who doubted us in the beginning still doubted us and were like "well clearly VCU was never a final four team"
All I can say to my fellow lions fan is let's rise above it, let's power through and rock the house and drop the hammer.
I will end with a quote from my dad that I always tend to live by, he told me when I was trying to choose a major in college "I don't care what you do, as long as you do it well and with conviction. I know you have the potential to do well, if I didn't think you could succeed, I wouldn't have pushed you, but I know you can, and that's why I did."

This information is not meant to be a substitute for veterinary care.
Always follow the instructions provided by your veterinarian.
Variations on these instructions exist.
Work with the dog in the position that (s)he finds most comfortable yet provides you adequate exposure to do what you need to do. The LEAST amount of restraint that is needed should be applied. Excessive restraint becomes a test of wills and you will find dogs to be stubborn and not give up. The more you attempt to restrain them, the harder they resist and the less pleasant and more dangerous the experience becomes for all.
"Talk to the animals" Many dogs can be comforted by being talked to in a quiet, soothing voice. What you say is not important...the tone of voice is. Even the best behaved dog may bite if frightened. Early application of a muzzle actually reduces the need for additional restraint. Once the muzzle is in place the dog will often "give up" and stop struggling. Several types of muzzles can be used. The end of the muzzle can be closed (basket-style muzzles ) (A,C) or open-ended (B).
All the muzzles have a strap that buckles behind the ears, on the top of the head.
|They can be made of plastic...
or leather or cloth.
|Always use a basket-style muzzle on a dog
with a short face such as Boston Terriers or Bulldogs so you do not
interfere with their breathing.
This open-ended style of muzzle should fit snuggly. The dog should be able to stick it's tongue out but should not be able to open the mouth any wider.
|If a muzzle is not available a length of
roll gauze or ribbon can be used to create a muzzle. The gauze should
NOT be stretchy. As the gauze is not very strong it should be doubled
to increase strength.
The length must be adequate to wrap around the muzzle at least twice, then tie behind the ears.
A large loop is made in the center of the length of
gauze. The loop should be about 3 times the
diameter of the dog's muzzle.
The loop is placed around the muzzle and pulled tight on the top of the nose. A single knot is tied.
The ends of the gauze are then tied under the jaw with a single knot.
|The long ends of the gauze are brought
behind the ears and tied in either a square knot or a easy release
bow. I prefer to tie a square knot and have a scissors handy in case
the muzzle needs to be quickly removed.
If the animal has a short face this style of muzzle easily slips off. To reduce slippage, after tying the square knot behind the ears, bring the long ends of the gauze forward and loop the ends under the loop of gauze which is around the muzzle, then pull the ends back over the forehead and under the gauze a behind the ears, then tie another square knot.
You can also use a muzzle made from a paper cup in dogs with short faces.
There are several ways a second person can hold a dog to allow you to concentrate on a specific task such as trimming nails or giving medications.
The holder should only apply light pressure at all restraint points. If the dog struggles, the holder applies greater pressure for additional control. As soon as the animal stops struggling, reduce the amount of pressure applied. Most animals quickly "learn" to lie still if you "reward" them with minimal restraint.
|To keep a dog lying on its belly (sternal
recumbency), drape your arm and upper body over the dog's shoulders.
Use the opposite hand to hold the body part that is being
treated. In the position pictured, a second person could apply
eye or ear medications.
Stand on the opposite side from the body part being treated. If the right eye is being medicated, the holder should stand on the left side of the dog.
|If the feet are being worked with, e.g.
front toenails being trimmed, the muzzle should be held by the holder
and should be turned away from the face of the person performing the
toenail trim. The holder is using her right hand to keep the dog's
right front foot still for nail trimming.
If the dog tries to stand, use your upper body to keep the dog laying on the table.
|If the dog raises his/her rear end, the
holder should position herself over the center of the dog with one arm
draped over the dogs hips and the other arm over the dogs
The holder can use her upper body to keep the dog's middle on the table.
The holder can use her right hand to hold the rear paw still or her left hand to keep the front paw still for nail trimming.
|Placing the dog on its side usually allows
the holder to keep the dog more still compared to a dog lying on it's
The holder reaches over the dog and holds the front leg closest to the table, gripping the leg close to the elbow, NOT close to the paw. The other arm is draped over the belly and holds the rear leg which is closest to the table, gripping the leg close to the body, NOT close to the paw.
If the legs are held close to the paws, the dog has more leverage to roll themselves back onto their belly than if the legs are held at points closer to the body.
|If the dog tries to lift it's head and neck the holder places her elbow over the neck and gently pushes the head to the table.
|Large dogs can be restrained in a sitting
position on the floor. The holder should stand with her back against a
wall to prevent the dog from scooting backwards across the floor.
The holder can press the dog's sides between her knees to keep the dog from moving side to side or from standing up.
The holder restrains the dog's head away from the person doing the procedure and stabilizes the head for procedures such as placement of ear and eye medications.
A sitting position can also be used for trimming toenails.
When the holder bends over the dog's head to hold the paw, she pulls the dog's head to one side to avoid the possibility of getting bitten in the stomach.
|Another technique used to restrain large
dogs is for the holder to straddle the dog with one knee on either
side of the dog, with the dog laying on the floor.
If the dog tries to stand up, the holder lightly sits on the dog's back. The holder can control how much weight to place over the dog's back by shifting her weight to and from her knees.
As soon as the dog stops trying to stand, the holder shifts all her weight back to her knees.
In this position, some procedures can be performed by one person. In this picture the holder is leaning over the dog and trimming the front nails.
In this position you do not have control over the dog's head and do risk getting bitten. You may combine this holding technique with the application of a muzzle.

After being in beta to developers for over a month, iOS 4.2.1 is now released to everyone through the usual updating process in iTunes. Finally everyone gets to enjoy the added benefits on iOS 4 on the iPad with the great additions.
As an iOS developer, I get to enjoy the betas and pre-releases of all iOS software and thus I have been able to play around with this for about a month so this post is all dedicated to the additions that I have found very useful and some downsides to the update as well.
All iOS 4 features are on the iPad!
Most key new things in iOS 4.2 revolve around the features introduced into iOS 4 this past summer. Let me tell you that it is absolutely wonderful to see these finally coming to the iPad. Now I am not really that excited about the multitasking bit and being able to stream music in the background because I tend not to use my iPad for just that. Maybe I am weird in this way but music is on my iPhone, which is usually next to me whenever I am on the iPad anyway.
Related to the multitasking however is the fast app switching and this is a lovely feature, especially on the iPad. Since iOS 4 came out on the iPhone I have been constantly annoyed when I close an application that I am not launched into the very same position the next time around. This is one of the features that you just get used to, very quickly!
What my favorite addition is you ask? For the iPad, this is probably the unified single mail inbox! Around half of my iPad use relates to doing some sort of work and the email bit has had me grumpy since getting used to the new way on the iPhone. I am so glad that it is now in the iPad as well.
AirPrint and AirPlay
The two single new features, one of which is very long awaited, that I have not had much time to play with is AirPlay and AirPrint. Even though I use an Apple TV connected to my TV that is on the wireless network I just haven't had the need for it yet but when I do, I am sure the feature will be as wonderful as it sounds.
AirPrint on the other hand has another reason for not being taken through its paces yet. It is not that I haven't found the need for printing, trust me I have once in a while, no it is to do with hardware. Because I do not have one of HP's ePrint enabled printers I cannot test it out straight away as the required printer sharing feature does not currently exist within Mac OS X.
I spoke to Terry yesterday about the new release and he had found an application called Fingerprint that will enable the AirPrint functionality for many non-compliant OS X printers. If you want to try it out, you can download a free trial version of the app or buy it right away for $7.99. In his testing, it found his printer right away and seems to work like a charm!
What don't I like then?
One of the new additions in the first beta that I am unsure of is the repurposing of the screen rotation lock switch. When Apple introduced the iPad what surprised us all was that the mute button on the iPhone was a hardware screen rotation lock on the iPad, an idea which I have always found really clever. I do not miss a mute switch at all, primarily because this device does not ring me up (yet) where I wound want a fixed volume set and be able to mute without changing it.
Cutting it short, I would like my hardware button back because it actually makes sense to have it on the iPad even though I can see the reasoning for removing it based on unification in the lineup.
Essentially, this update is brilliant. All the iOS 4 features on the iPad with multitasking, unified mail inbox, game center and folders make for a much nicer experience. Coupled with the new AirPrint feature you would be crazy not to like it.
Sure, the screen orientation lock is no longer a physical button but it is easily accessible from the multi-tasking bar, along with a very neat brightness switch.
The update is available right from within iTunes and should show up when you sync your iPhone/iPod Touch or iPad. If not, just click on the "Check for Updates" button and you are good to go.

Here's the link from Betvega:
I'm a bit surprised because this represents a three score difference. But the Terps have beaten the spread as favorrites in all four games, so why not do it as an underdog? Yes FSU is playing at Doak Walker stadium where sun and alcohol-drenched lunatics will be in abundance. But I have to believe that Jimbo and gang might be looking a bit past Maryland. Yes BC gave FSU a scare: for 20 minutes. Then FSU imposed its will and it was all over. Just a hunch that the Seminoles feel likewise about the Terps.

English 6
The primary focus of this course is Dante Alighieri's Inferno, the first canticle in his poetic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. After a close reading of this fundamental text, we will explore some more recent literary representations of hell, and consider the ways in which they echo Dante's unique vision. Included in our discussion will be the way the journey to the underworld serves as a transformative experience for its hero. In addition to Inferno, texts will include Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, poetry by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and T.S. Eliot, Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit, and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now.
Literary Nightmares
A nightmare was once believed to be a female spirit or monster who settled on and produced a feeling of suffocation in a sleeping person or animal. If most of us no longer believe in monsters, then why do nightmares still plague us? What makes nightmares scary? Are they distorted expressions of our deepest fears, or frightful fulfillments of our forbidden desires? In this course, we will examine the blurry line between fear and desire and consider the ways in which the "ugly" aspects of our unconscious unleash themselves into our consciousness in uncontrollable ways. Many works of literature present us with scenarios that resemble the surreal, anxiety-producing nightmares we've all experienced during otherwise peaceful and protective sleeps. As we probe these texts, we will explore the ways in which we are sometimes subject to the powers of our own imaginations. Texts will include William Shakespeare's Macbeth, Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Franz Kakfa's The Metamorphosis, Luigi Pirandello's Six Characters in Search of an Author, and selected works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Nicolai Gogol, Jorge Luis Borges, and others. We will filter our discussions through the theoretical lenses of Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalysts.
From Romance to Novel
From Romance to Novel explores the development of the novel and different narrative styles from the medieval roman, or romance, to the first novel (17th century), to famous novels of the 20th century. We will track elements integral to the medieval romance, such as betrayal, separation, conflict, and the roles assigned to different genders, and see how these themes are elaborated in novels from the modern period, which focus on love against the backdrop of war. By the end of the semester, we should possess an understanding of how classical and medieval tropes and narrative strategies have informed the modern novel, how the modern novel has evolved, and how different styles and narrative points of view influence our understanding of the novel. Readings may include Beroul's Tristan and Isolde, Madame de Lafayette's The Princess of Cleves, Dickens' A Tale of two Cities, Frazier's A Cold Mountain, Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms, Ondaatje's The English Patient, and Barker's Regeneration.
Reading and Writing Memoir
As you think about leaving home and childhood's end, you may find yourself reflecting on your life to date. The liminal state of the spring-term senior presents a ripe opportunity for memoir. In this course, we will explore the range of genres, styles, and techniques evinced in the work of great memoirists – from Hemingway to Joan Didion to Jimmy Santiago Baca and Sarah Suleri. While reading prose memoir, poetic memoir, food memoir, and memoir-comic, we will produce our own autobiographical compositions through a term-long writing process. Shorter-term analytical assessments, a creative imitation, and presentation projects will help us engage with and learn from the best in the field. As part of our culminating experience, we will share selections from our stories with the broader Catlin Gabel community.
Modern Queer Literature
This course will trace the rise of the modern queer canon from 1840 through the late 20th century. In studying selected literary works of Walt Whitman, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, Tennessee Williams, Rita Mae Brown, Jeanette Winterson, and others, we will focus on the way these authors develop an intertextual dialogue. Participants will also explore the construction of gender roles, how conceptions of sex and gender have changed over time. How do gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender authors express themselves amid a potentially hostile, "heteronormative" society? This and other, related questions will preoccupy us in discussion and in our writing this term. This course will include film, music, and selected sociological/historical reading to contextualize and enrich our study.
Modern and Contemporary Drama
Modern and Contemporary Drama is a course that examines the development of Western dramatic conventions over the past 150 years. Students will track how playwrights have drawn upon and departed from prior works of drama, and will see how forces such as cultural and political context shaped the theatrical works of those playwrights. In addition to discussing and writing about the works under consideration, students will be expected to take part in performances and creative imitations, discovering how drama needs to be considered on its feet, rather than just from the classroom desk. Authors may include Chekhov, Strindberg, Ibsen, Brecht, Pinter, Shaw, Beckett, Parks, Smith, Wilson, and Kushner.
Decisions and Revisions
To choose or not to choose: that's the real question. This course explores the power human beings have to choose, and the extent to which we use, or choose to use, that power. How much control do we have over our lives? What role does choice play in our search for meaning? What are the causes and effects of agency and passivity? We'll struggle with these questions as we meet characters who struggle with their decisions. We'll also dabble into a bit of existentialist philosophy.
Hanging Back with the Brutes
This course attempts to probe human beings' most brutish core. As we challenge our understandings of the terms "savage" and "civilized," we consider what it means to be human on the most fundamental level. We'll delve into the idea of "going native" as revealed in Edgar Rice Burroughs's Tarzan of the Apes, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Rudyard Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be King," and William Shakespeare's King Lear. We'll contemplate the notion of the "noble savage" through the science fiction lenses of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. We'll explore the construction of "the other" in two versions of Medea: Euripides's classical version, and Christa Wolf's modern retelling. Finally, we'll examine Blanche Dubois's urge not to "hang back with the brutes" in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire, and question her dependence on such things as "poetry and music" and "tenderer feelings." We'll supplement our literary texts with theoretical readings by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Creative Writing
Creative Writing is a course in which students will explore a variety of genres, creating their own work across those genres. This course supposes that writing creatively should be a little more like messing around with a chemistry set and a little less like playing by a set of rules. That ham-handed analogy is to say that Catlin Gabel's writing students should be free to sense the wide-open possibilities of creative prose, poetry, drama, and journalism; most of the great pieces of literature we read at Catlin Gabel came to be because an author decided to break convention, instead of abiding by it. That said, it's always good to know what rules you're breaking before you go ahead and break them. The class will spend some time reading, but we'll mostly use our reading to see how published writers deal with all the possibilities they see before them, and the bulk of the class will be spent writing, usually from prompts to free up the students' imaginations. We'll seek larger audiences beyond the Catlin Gabel community, and students should leave the class with a surprising bundle of their own work. Students may even find themselves published in various outlets by the end of the year. Creative Writing is a half-credit class that meets twice a week all year long, and covers poetry, prose, drama, creative non-fiction, and maybe even some aural media (read: radio). Students should expect to get comfortable in a workshop setting, reading and then commenting honestly (but gently!) on the work of their peers. Creative Writing will be a lot of fun, and only as stressful as you would like it to be.

In this post, I begin to look through the new book Words of Life: Scripture as the Living and Active Word of God by Timothy Ward. Ward's self-proclaimed task is:
I want to articulate, explain and defend what we are really saying when we proclaim, as we must, that the Bible is God's Word. In particular, this is how I want to go about this: I am attempting to describe the nature of the relationship between God and Scripture" (11).
Ward categorizes his volume as an "outline," offering three main "components: First, a biblical outline – a low-flying biblical analysis of the Bible's own self-description. Second, Ward claims to draw this together into a "theological outline of Scripture in its relationship with God, focusing on Scripture's role in relationship with each of the persons of the Trinity" (13). Ward warns that evangelicals have treated Scripture as internally unrelated to the doctrines of the Christian faith, and must be located theologically (most specifically in relation to the missions of the Son and Spirit) to remedy that error. Lastly, Ward looks at a doctrinal outline of Scripture, looking at issues of necessity, sufficiency, clarity and authority.
Ward notes four theologians he consistently works his material through (an interesting rhetorical move I suppose): John Calvin, Francis Turretin, B.B. Warfield, and Herman Bavinck. In other words, if you don't like his view, you evidently just don't like the Reformed! Continue reading

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Brandon Wood hit a game-tying sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and then Chris Nelson singled home the winning run off reliever Francisco Rodriguez as the Rockies beat the Angels, 4-3, at Talking Stick on Monday afternoon.
Howie Kendrick launched his third home run of the spring, for three third-inning runs off Rockies starter Juan Nicasio, as the Angels led heading into the final frame.Kendrick improved his RBI total to 10. His homer came after singles by Bobby Wilson, playing for the first time since suffering tightness in his quadriceps in both legs March 10, and Erick Aybar.
Angels starting pitcher Ervin Santana, whose last spring start was shortened because he took a line drive off the right shoulder in the second inning, held the Rockies to no runs on two hits and struck out four in four innings."Santana was really sharp," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He used all his pitches and had good fastball command, and great four innings for him. We're excited about that."
The Rockies scored in the sixth when Carlos Gonzalez raced home on a wild pitch by Jason Isringhausen, then Andrew Brown connected for his first spring homer in the eighth, setting the stage for the ninth-inning rally.
Nicasio went five innings and gave up all three of his runs and three of his five hits in the third inning. Nicasio, who has put himself solidly in the running for a rotation spot, finished with four strikeouts, a walk and a hit batter.The Rockies started what could be their Opening Day lineup. The batting order included third baseman Casey Blake, who underwent neck surgery last year while with the Dodgers and had missed seven days with neck muscle soreness. Up next for Angels: C.J. Wilson will make his fourth Spring Training start when the Angels travel to Surprise, Ariz., to take on the Royals on Tuesday at 1:05 p.m. PT. Wilson, who will oppose righty Felipe Paulino, has given up just one run on five hits in his first nine Cactus League frames, walking two and striking out four. Albert Pujols has traveled for back-to-back road games, so chances are he'd have the day off.

A New Port Richey medical detox facility is expressing concern about the practice of using telemedicine to prescribe drugs.
Novus Medical Detox is an in-patient medical facility that offers alcohol and drug treatment programs. The facility sent out an email to the media with its thoughts on a recent Florida Trend article on telemedicine programs.
"The article specifically states that an agency is using telehealth devices to screen for depressive symptoms in patients – telemedicine would prescribe depression and highly-addictive medications without the requisite of seeing a doctor or performing medical/biological testing," the release states.
Prescription pill addiction is a major problem in Pasco and Pinellas Counties.
Novus is warning that many of those who might be receiving prescription depression or pain medications via telehealth are employees with company insurance policies and the telemedicine program makes it too easy for people to get prescription drugs," the release states.
"'Many employees don't want to use their sick days; and with this new procedure becoming popular, people can call up, tell the doctor their symptoms, and get a prescription over the phone… no visit needed" Kirk Burness, Executive Director of Novus Medical Detox, said in the press release.
"With pain medications being so addictive, this is potentially very dangerous."
Novus feels that easy access to telemedicine could increase the chance of addiction.
"People need medical care that is based on sound medical testing and visits to one's doctor – not telehealth where potentially addicting drugs can be prescribed willy-nilly," Burness said in the release

Developers each have their own approach to development. You may not know it, but you have one too. Having a set methodology allows you to sit back down at a project somewhere down the line and know what is going on immediately. Maintenance of the application is more cost effective. This article gives you an overview of the basic software development process, discusses what methodologies and frameworks are, and goes into some details on the methodology that I use in my own everyday development.
I have heard it said that the success of any software project occurs before a single line of code is ever written. Accordingly, we'll start our review by talking about the full software development life cycle. There are a few different models of software development, but they all contain similar elements, or phases.
These are the eight main phases:
- Requirements: In the requirements phase, the client (software program user, your boss, whoever) defines some problem that they want to solve. You, as the programmer, will talk to the client about what they need a program to do. I like to think of the requirements phase as one where the client says, "This is what I want." In an ideal world, the client's request will be completely documented before I have to meet with them. Realistically, that rarely happens. This phase usually consists of multiple meetings with a client, project manager, or boss.
- Specification: The specification phase comes after the requirements phase. Here we tell the client what we're going to do for them to solve their problem, as defined in the requirements phase. If we've done our job correctly, the requirements and specifications will sync up and all will be well in the world. I like to document both of these phases pretty heavily, and if possible have the client sign off on appropriate documentation.
- Design: With the approval of a specification document, you can start your software design. You map out the flow of the program, mock up an interface (or rapid prototype), design the database, and flush out any business requirements not defined in the specifications.
- Implementation: After you have the design all set, you can sit down and code. I'm sure that is what most of us do best. The implementation makes the design work.
- Quality assurance: In this phase, you test the application from start to finish, looking for problems with the code or logic. Next to requirements, the client often has the most involvement in this phase. They will know immediately at this point if something is seriously wrong with the application.
- Integration and rollout: In the past this would involve moving from machine to machine to upgrade to the new version of the software. With Web applications, those days are over. In the Web world, rollout is easy. Just tell people to point their browser to the new application.
- Maintenance: Over time, businesses change - and so do requirements. The application will need to change to meet those changing business requirements. Often in the maintenance phase you go through the whole software development process in a smaller way, specifying requirements for changes, defining the specifications, modifying the design, and so on.
- Retirement: All good things must come to an end. In this phase we put the application to rest. Business requirements have changed so much over the years that it's more cost effective to replace the application than to modify it.
There are different models of software development using these phases. The waterfall model is the most common. It moves from one phase to the other in tandem. The rapid prototype model starts by building a rapid prototype, or mockup, of the application. A specification is built from the rapid prototype, and the rest of the phases continue one after the other. The rapid prototype or waterfall models encompass full applications.
There's a third model called the iterative model, that follows the whole process for each individual application feature. The intent of this model is that release cycles will come every few weeks. This model works really well during large projects. You wouldn't want to be halfway through development on a yearlong project and then find out that everything you've done is wrong. I often like to use this model for the maintenance phase also.
My Development Methodology
The rest of this article will specifically talk about how I myself develop during the implementation phase of a project. I'm going to explain my method for organizing code and approaching development. Every template I write starts with a documentation header. Good documentation is often crucial when modifying code at some future point.
First, I include a description of the template. Why am I creating this template, what code does it contain? I'll also include the name of the file and the date it was created. When working as part of a team, I'll specify the name of the creator (me), and my company name, if I'm developing for a client.
Second, I'll specify where the code fits into the flow of logic. Is it an include file, a custom tag, a form page, or something else? If there is a multistep process, what step does this file represent? What file represents the previous step? What file represents the next step?
Next I'll document any file dependencies such as custom tags, include files, or ColdFusion components that need to exist in order for this template to run correctly. Then I'll document variable dependencies. What variables must be defined for this template to properly process? Do we need any URL variables? Form variables? Are they required or optional? If they are optional what are their default values?
Sometimes it may seem like a lot of work to create this documentation up front, but you'll thank yourself down the line. It takes minimal extra effort when you create the page and can save loads of time during the maintenance phase.
Documentation aside, I try to keep each template as modular as possible. That means that each template does only a single set of related actions. Here are the common types of templates you'll encounter during your development:
- Application.cfm & OnRequestEnd.cfm: The Application.cfm is a page that ColdFusion runs at the beginning of every request. I use this page to set up the basic application, directory locations variables, and datasource names. OnRequestEnd.cfm runs at the end of every request. It is not used often.
- Header and footer: I usually have only one header and footer file in a site, called header.cfm and footer.cfm respectively. The header contains the standard navigation and most common graphical elements of the site. The footer contains any disclaimers at the bottom of every page. I use a cfinclude to put these two templates into every other template. Between the header and footer goes the individual content. I don't put the header information in the Application.cfm and footer information in OnRequestEnd.cfm is because I like to reserve those files for processing code, not display code.
- Index: The index template is your home page. Some Web servers are programmed to look for default.cfm instead of index.cfm, but many will look for both.
- List page: A list page is a page that lists data based on certain criteria. For example, if you are creating a page that lists all the users who have registered on the site, you might name this page register.cfm.
- Input: Input pages are pages that accept input from the user. In standard Web development an input page will contain an HTML form. I like to distinguish an input page by putting an "i" at the end of the file name. A file that accepts input for a user registration would be registeri.cfm.
- Processing: Processing pages are those that a form submits onto. These pages usually verify the data, and then insert or update it to the database. I like to distinguish these with a "p" at the end of the file name. In our registration example, the registration-processing page would be registerip.cfm. That signifies that we are processing the registration input.
- Update: Pages that update data are very similar to input pages, except the forms are already filled with data. I like to distinguish these files with a "u". A registration update page would be registeru.cfm. The processing page for the update registration functionality would be registerup.cfm.
- Verification: Verification pages are pages that lie between input and processing. They display all the data to the user and give the user an option of changing data before it goes into the database. If you want to have the user verify their data before committing it to the database, use a verification page.
- Delete: A delete page is one for deleting data. I distinguish these files with a "d" character. For example, to delete a registration, the file would be named registerd.cfm. Often these pages will trigger a flag to make the data inactive instead of completely deleting the data.
Since the release of ColdFusion MX, I have been moving most of the functional code inside CFCs. For example, the verification page will call methods, which verify the data, but won't actually verify the data. If an error is returned, it displays the appropriate error. The process page will call a method to commit the data to the database. I've been storing the CFCs in the session scope, so I don't have to worry about excessive parameter passing from one template to another. The input page collects the data, the verification page stores it in component properties, and the processing page commits it to the database.
Other Development Methodologies and Frameworks
There's often a lot of confusion as to what a methodology is, what a framework is, and what the differences between them are.
A methodology is an organized approach to writing and organizing your code. What I've defined in this document is a rough methodology that I use for code development. A framework is a collection of code used as a template for writing applications. There is often a tradeoff for using a framework in your development and that is that it will most likely contain code you don't need to use. The performance hindrance of unused code is offset by the decrease in a development schedule. Using a framework will also make your code more consistent. In performance critical -applications you probably won't want to build your application within a framework.
Here are some common methodologies and frameworks used throughout the ColdFusion world:
- Fusebox: Fusebox is one of the most popular methodologies out there. Fusebox 1 was a strict methodology; although current versions provide some semblance of a framework. The most current version is Fusebox 4 and more information can be found at www.fusebox.org. Anyone looking at Fusebox should also take a look at the Fusebox Lifecycle Process (FLiP), which handles the full software development life cycle.
- cfobjects: cfobjects is a framework used to apply object-oriented principles to ColdFusion development. It is developed to work with pre-CFMX versions and consists of a lot of custom tags, plus a toolbar for ColdFusion Studio (HomeSite +). More information can be found at cfobjects.sourceforge.net.
- Mach-II: Mach-II is a framework used to apply object-oriented design principles to ColdFusion from development. It's relatively new in the world of development and was spun off development that was originally supposed to be Fusebox MX. You can find more information about Mach-II at www.mach-ii.com/. Macromedia has developed some of their site using the Mach-II framework.
This was intended as a high-level overview of approaches to development. No matter what type of development you are doing, you'll need a methodology - having one that you always follow keeps things consistent if nothing else. When working with teams, it's best to decide on a common methodology that all developers will use. Not every methodology will work in every situation. It's best to document the methodology that you are using as developers enter and leave your project.

Why all the Samsung hate? (Honest question) *UPDATES*
Every time a new Samsung flagship comes along, almost everyone in the tech circle seems to hate it due to its plastic design. Like Clockwork.
I don't understand all the hate directed at Samsung due to its preference to go with plastic on its flagship phones.
A smartphone to me is all about features and how it performs. i couldn't care less how precious it looks. It is not a jewel to be coveted.
My own experience with Samsung has been very good. My first Android phone was a Galaxy 3 (not GS3, this is a mid range phone from 2010), and although the performance of the device was modest befitting its modest specs, I can't complain about the build quality. I must have dropped this phone several dozen times (without a case), and I had only a few scratches to show for it.
My current phone is a Galaxy S2 which I have been using for about 18 months. This is still one of the fastest phones around. Again, can't complain about the build quality. Thought, admittedly made of plastic, it is still very durable and I have only a few scratches on the back after 18 months.
What mattes most to me is a phone's specs and performance. With Samsung, it is guaranteed I would get the best SOC on a phone, with a brilliant display and most importantly support for expandable storage and removable battery.
I also appreciate the fact that they are reasonably developer friendly as all Samsung flagships come with unlocked Bootloaders (There is still the issue with Exynos sources not readily available to devs, but that is another story).
These are the things that matter to me and I am not really concerned about whether my phone looks like a fine piece of jewelry.
What do you guys think?
Do you think the bad rap Samsung is getting over the design/looks of its phone is warranted?
Going over the first 100 comments, I see a common theme here:
1. Samsung's glossy hyperglaze finish is ugly - expect more from a flagship phone.
- I agree that they could improve on the build quality. I myself prefer the matte finish on the GS2 to the hyperglaze on GS3.
But, considering the top notch internals, it doesn't bother me enough to hate the company.
2. Touchwiz is an abomination and hurts Android ecosystem:
- While touchwiz still does look a bit cartoony, the good thing is that it's Android. If Samsung's icons and home screens bother you, it can be changed.
Also, Samsung phones come with unlocked Bootloaders and are generally hacker friendly (despite the Exynos source issues).
I would also like to point out the cool features Touchwiz has - like multi window support, which is unique in Android.
3. The general feeling many people have that Samsung is a copycat and a cheap imitator of Apple and don't deserve success.
- This one is a bit strange to me. My personal opinion is that all companies steal ideas from each other (Everything is a re-mix).
While Samsung generously lifted interface elements off of iOS in their 2010 devices, they appear to be toning down of late.
In any case, it is not something that bothers me as a consumer.
I am not trying to make excuses for Samsung. They can certainly do more.
I can understand preferring HTC or Sony to Samsung, what I don't understand is the sort of hatred I see here.

Nelson car park plunge victim was Barnoldswick sportsman
11:11am Tuesday 17th January 2012 in Barnoldswick
THE MAN who fell to his death from the top of a Nelson car park at the weekend has been named.
Former cricketer Ian Nutter, 65, from Barnoldswick, died when he fell from the top of the Pendle Rise car park at around 5.30pm on Saturday.
Yesterday his family paid tribute to a 'loving father, grandfather and husband'.
Friends from Barnoldswick Cricket Club also paid tribute to their teammate of 20 years.
His family said: "Ian was a loving father, grandfather and husband. He leaves behind his wife Carol and his children and grandchildren.
"Ian is from Barnoldswick and has had a lifelong love of Alsatians; owning three in his life, and often seen walking around the Barnoldswick area with them.
"Ian is well known for his wicket keeping at Barnoldswick Cricket Club where he has been playing for over 20 years.
"He also played for and supported Barnoldswick United Football Club for many years.
"He will be sadly missed by all who knew him."
A spokesman for Barnoldswick Cricket Club said: "Ian was great for our club.
"A fantastic wicketkeeper, a dogged and determined batsman who played the game hard but in the right spirit.
"He always had a great rapport with his team mates and offered encouragement to all the youngsters.
"He will be sadly missed and never forgotten."

REMOTE CONTROL is a re-interpretation of home movies shot in the 70's by my father. The attempt is to save the past, as captured by the movie, and turn it into stillness. For this reason light and colours have been dramatically reduced or altered and the loss of information and details reflects the actual loss of parents, houses, stories and memories. This series is then a detached exploration into a past unreal, and not experienced, as I wasn't born yet nor appear anywhere.

UMC is hosting a fundraiser this week for a Lubbock police officer who was shot multiple times earlier this month while on duty.
Police say Jeremy Moore shot officer Timothy Varner outside the Salvation Army back on Oct. 12.
Moor had been turned away from the shelter because he refused to take a breathalyzer test.
Officer Varner was taken to UMC and released a few days later.
Now the hospital wants to help the officer and his family with any needs they may have.
UMC will cook hot dogs and hamburgers this Thursday to raise money.
The cost is $5 dollars a plate.
The fundraiser will be in the south parking lot of the UMC ER from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Moor remains behind bars Tuesday. He is charged with attempted capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

DNA led police to a man they believe broke into a home almost five years ago.
John Wyskochil was arrested Tuesday for allegedly breaking into a home in Jan. 2008.
Police accused Wyskochil of taking a homeowner's car keys and driving off with their car.
Officers collected evidence from the scene, including swabs of blood found inside the home.
Last month, a DNA match was made that linked the blood to Wyskochil.
He was arrested at him home after a brief stand off.
Police said Wyskochil admitted to breaking into the house but said he didn't steal anything.

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The Obama administration's abortion/contraception mandate still fails to safeguard religious freedom, the Southern Baptist Convention's church-state entity and other evangelical Christian organizations have told a federal appeals court.
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) signed onto a friend-of the-court brief filed with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Feb. 4, only three days after the administration announced a proposed rule change it seemed to hope would satisfy the objections of religious organizations. The brief, drafted by the Christian Legal Society (CLS), echoed the response of many faith and religious freedom groups, who described the revision as insufficient.
"The new definition continues to violate the [First Amendment clauses protecting religious free exercise and barring government establishment of religion] -- and now the equal protection clause -- because the government continues to squeeze religious institutions into an impoverished, one-size-fits-all misconception of 'religious employer,'" the brief said.
The abortion/contraception mandate "has unilaterally re-defined most religious employers to be non-religious employers," according to the brief.
The mandate -- issued as a rule by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement the 2010 health-care law -- requires employers to pay for coverage of drugs defined by the Food and Drug Administration as contraceptives, even if they can cause abortions.
Religious institutions and business owners with conscience objections to paying for contraceptives or abortion-causing drugs have challenged the mandate in more than 40 lawsuits against HHS.
The ERLC-endorsed brief filed with the Chicago-based Seventh Circuit focused on protections for religious organizations but came in a case involving a for-profit business and its owners, who refuse to comply with the HHS mandate. So far, for-profits that have challenged the rule have won injunctions blocking enforcement of the mandate 11 of 14 times.
In the brief, the ERLC and its allies joined CLS in saying the mandate's definition of "religious employer" is narrower than a standing definition under federal law and violates not only the First Amendment but the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. That 1993 law bars the federal government from burdening religious free exercise unless it has a "compelling interest" and uses "the least restrictive means" in advancing that interest.
"Forcing religious employers to fund contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs is hardly the least restrictive means of achieving the government's purported interests," according to the brief. "This is a solution in search of a problem. No one seriously disputes that contraceptives are widely available."
The brief also questioned how the government would avoid "excessive entanglement" with religion under the mandate. The definition of "religious employer" fails to say how much agreement on religious beliefs a worker must have with an employer for the organization to qualify as a "religious employer."
"The Supreme Court has repeatedly warned that government officials are not competent to make religious determinations," it said.
"Religious liberty requires the government to give religious organizations breathing space to define what their mission will be, whom they will employ, and whom they will serve."
The definition of "'religious employer' remains an unacceptably narrow religious exemption that fails to protect most religious employers, including colleges, schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and food pantries," according to the brief.
In a Feb. 1 announcement, HHS said its revised rule permits employees to receive contraceptives and abortion-causing drugs without their religious employer participating in the process.
Religious liberty advocates, however, said objecting employers would still be unwilling participants despite the change. Such employers would still have to be affiliated with an insurance plan connected to coverage of contraceptives, including abortion-causing pills, and may end up absorbing increased costs for the drugs if the insurance companies pay for them and consequently increase rates.
Kim Colby, CLS' senior counsel and the brief's author, said HHS' "amended definition would still fail to protect religious liberty. The proposed amendment would protect only religious ministries that are integral parts of a church; however, many religious educational institutions and religious ministries are independent of any specific church. For example, a religious school that is controlled by a church may now be considered a religious employer, while an independent religious school is still not a 'religious employer,' even though its purpose, curriculum, and faculty are just as religious as the church-controlled school."
In addition to the ERLC, others signing onto the CLS brief were the National Association of Evangelicals, Prison Fellowship, Patrick Henry College, Association of Gospel Rescue Missions, Association of Christian Schools International and Institutional Religious Freedom Alliance.
In the case, Cyril and Jane Korte and their construction firm, Korte and Luitjohan Contractors, oppose the abortion/contraception mandate because it conflicts with their beliefs as Roman Catholics regarding abortion, contraception and sterilization. They estimate the penalty for refusing to comply with the requirement could reach $730,000 a year.
In Korte v. HHS, they asked the Seventh Circuit to overturn a federal judge's denial of their request for a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the mandate.
The ERLC and the other organizations also endorsed a CLS brief opposing the mandate in the District of Columbia Circuit Court in October. That brief supported challenges by Wheaton College, an evangelical Christian school in suburban Chicago, and Belmont Abbey College, a Roman Catholic institution in North Carolina.
Drugs considered contraceptives under the mandate include Plan B and other "morning-after" pills, which can prevent implantation of tiny embryos. That secondary, post-fertilization mechanism of the pill causes an abortion. The mandate also covers "ella," which -- in a fashion similar to the abortion drug RU 486 -- can even act after implantation to end the life of the child.

Configure Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75By Margus Saluste. Last modified: 2014-08-14.
How to configure Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75 and manage Quarantine in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1
This tutorial applies to version 1 of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. To configure the current version, see Configure Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2 guide instead.
After installing, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will update its malware definitions. Wait until this is complete.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware then displays a success message. Click OK.
If Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not running, Windows XP users can start it by opening Start menu, All Programs, finding Malwarebytes Anti-Malware folder and clicking Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Windows Vista and 7 users can open Start menu, type "malware" into Search box and click Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Windows 8 and 8.1 users should press Windows Key+Q to open Apps search or Search everywhere, type "malware" and click Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
A 14-day trial version of the full Malwarebytes Anti-Malware might be offered once after installation. To continue using the free version, click Decline.
In MBAM (short name for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware) main window click Settings tab.
Let's see what we can find under the General Settings tab.
To make sure that MBAM can remove malware that uses Internet Explorer for its dirty deeds, keep the Terminate Internet Explorer during threat removal box checked. Some malware run IE without displaying any browser windows, so this is important! And please remember to close all Internet Explorer windows before starting a malware scan.
If you feel very concerned about your privacy, clear the Anonymously report usage statistics box. This means that MBAM will never send any information about program usage to the creators.
The Create right click context menu option allows you to launch MBAM scan for any file or folder from Windows Explorer. For example, right-clicking Documents / My Documents folder lists the Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware option among others. Activate the check box.
Leave the Automatically save log file after scan completes box checked as it can save important information about items found for IT specialists.
Clear the Open log file immediately after saving check box. You do not always need to read the log file, the scan results are quite enough.
Warn if database is outdated by is a very important settings - here you can specify how old the signature database can be without MBAM notifying you of this. The default setting, 7 days, is pretty good; but setting this to 3 is even better.
Here's the warning dialog about an outdated database. Clicking Yes will download and install the latest database right away.
Next, click the Scanner Settings tab and verify that all check boxes concerning scanning are checked. This ensures that all system areas are scanned.
Also, tick the Enable scanning inside archives (available since version 1.75) and Enable advanced heuristics engine (Heuristics.Shuriken) boxes.
Next, you can select default behavior for detected Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs - for example, password crackers, hacking tools, etc), Potentially Unwanted Modifications (PUMs - modifications in Registry items and settings files) and Peer-to-Peer Software (P2P - BitTorrent, eMule, Kazaa, etc).
I recommend selecting Show in results list and check for removal for both Action for potentially unwanted programs (PUP) and Action for potentially unwanted modifications (PUM) items. This ensures that all strange programs and modifications are detected. After all, you can always deselect programs and modifications in the Scanning Results window.
Action for peer-to-peer software (P2P) should be either Show in results list and do not check for removal or Show in results list and check for removal, depending whether you want to use some P2P programs or not.
Click Updater Settings tab and make sure that the Download and install program update if available and Notify me when a program update is ready for installation check boxes are ticked. This will update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to the latest version automatically.
Managing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75 quarantine
All detected malware is moved to a quarantine folder by default. As this folder might waste loads of disk space, it is recommended to clear it once a month. You can also restore items to their previous locations if you really know what you're doing.
Click Quarantine tab in MBAM main window. Here are all items detected. The easiest and safest way to empty quarantine folder is to click Delete All button.
You can also delete individual items by selecting them with mouse and clicking Delete button. You can select multiple concurrent items by clicking the first one, then holding down Shift key on your keyboard and clicking the last one. To select multiple non-concurrent items, hold down Ctrl key while clicking the items you need.
Be very careful with Restore All and Restore buttons, do not use them unless you are sure that you are not restoring malware!
