Historic castles, thrill-filled theme parks and yummy food – France has everything for a truly memorable family holiday.
Family Holiday Idea #1: Normandy – Battlezones and Beaches
Family highlights Historical drama oozes from every corner of Normandy – Richard the Lionheart's ruined Château-Gaillard; the half-timbered town of Rouen where Joan of Arc burned at the stake; the D-Day landing beaches and the war and peace displays at the Mémorial de Caen; the proto comic-strip of the Bayeux Tapestry; and the ancient abbey of the Mont-St-Michel, inspiration for the city of Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings
Letting off steam The vast beaches of the chic Norman Riviera (or Côte Fleurie, to the French) offer great gusts of fresh air, while the Festyland themepark lets you get to grips with local history the fun way, with its prehistoric, William the Conqueror and pirate themed rides and attractions.
Foodie fun Apples from Normandy's abundant orchards make their way into delicious dishes both sweet and savoury, as well as providing the ingredients for the renowned local tipples of cider and Calvados. The region's cream, cheese and seafood also provide the basis for great family-friendly fare, from fish stew to Norman rice pudding.
Somewhere to stay The Norman Riviera has some classic seaside hotels, including the chic Normandy Barrière with its children's restaurant. But if you're on a tighter budget, there's no shortage of campsites and holiday villages, including Siblu's Domaine de Litteau.
Family Holiday Idea #2: Paris – High Culture and High Jinks
Family highlights Paris has unending delights for families, whether you scale the Eiffel Tower, take a themed trail around the Louvre, explore the Cité des Enfants with its kids' discovery spaces, or roam the Jardin des Plantes botanical garden with its mini-zoo, natural history museums, maze and quirky carousel. Disneyland Paris or the much more Gallic Parc Astérix might well lure you out of the city, as may the fabulous castles at Versailles and Fontainebleau.
Letting off steam Paris has green spaces galore, from the family-friendly Tuileries and Luxembourg gardens with their merry-go-rounds and and pony-rides to the sprawling Bois de Boulogne with its amusement park, puppet theatre and children's museum.
Foodie fun Classic corner bistros, crêperies, ice-cream parlours, pizzerias, American diners, and Vietnamese noodle joints – it's all there when you look beyond the tourist traps.
Somewhere to stay Hotels in Paris can be fearsomely expensive, although the Crillon is a classic address if you're in the mood to splurge. Better suited to a family-size budget are apartment-hotels run by the likes of the Citadines chain and PV Holidays.
Family Holiday Idea #3: The Loire Valley - Castle Capers
Family highlights French history springs to life for all the family via the region's La Cour des Grands program – the 30-plus participating chateaus, museums, boat trips, zoos and other attractions throughout this vast UNESCO World Heritage site offer children's trails, iPod tours, events, games and quiz booklets. Venues include everything from Leonardo da Vinci's old mansion and garden with its working models of his inventions to a troglodyte mushroom museum.
Letting off steam The Loire is a great place to take a family cycling tour, through former royal hunting forests full of deer and wild boar, or you might enjoy kayaking on the river.
Foodie fun The Loire offers up some famous vintages, and the area is touristy enough to ensure that kids can either join you sampling local gastronomic specialities, which include sander (pike-perch), smoked eel, pungent goats' cheeses and white asparagus grown on the riverbanks, or opt for international favourites such as pizza and crêpes.
Somewhere to stay Pretty Amboise makes for a great central base, with a castle that housed the royal court, and good hotels and restaurants. Alternatively, Canvas Holidays offers four beautifully situated campsites in the Loire, with waterparks and other family amenities, PV Holidays has an apartment 'resort' with a pool in medieval Loches, and there's a Centerparcs holiday village in the area too.
Family Holiday Idea #4: Poitou-Charentes - Water, Woods and Wild Rides
Family highlights Beaches, beaches and more beaches – whether you choose the classic family resorts of Chatelaillon-Plage and Royan, the flat, sunny isles of Ré and Oléron, or the seaside city of La Rochelle with its outstanding aquarium, you benefit from the region's peculiarly mild climate (a result of the Gulf Stream).
Letting off steam The cool green canals of the Marais Poitevin, also dubbed La Venise Verte, are fun to explore by bike or horseback, stopping for picnics beside the water, while the Zooodysée forest zoo has up-close encounters with wolves, bisons, owls and other European creatures. For futuristic thrills with a cinematic edge, head for the quirky Futuroscope themepark with its 3D movie rides.
Foodie fun Local snails and oysters are famous, but if your kids recoil from squidgy, slimy critters, there's plenty of super-fresh fish and the usual array of family-friendly brasseries and crêperies, especially in seaside resorts.
Somewhere to stay The area has a fantastic choice of self-catering gites (a good source is French Connections), while camping grounds range from large sites with waterparks and family entertainments offered by the likes of Siblu and Eurocamp, to smaller, more tranquil, often environmentally friendly sites listed by Camping Qualité.

What you need to know about Prescription Drug Abuse
Donna Lilly, LCSW, Chemical Dependency Coordinator with Deaconess Cross Pointe
Did you know that more people abuse prescription drugs than cocaine, heroin, hallucinogens and inhalants combined? In the U.S., one in 20 people have used prescription painkillers for non-medical reasons.
So how does a prescription drug abuse problem start? Sometimes people find that their medication isn't working the way they think it should, and so they begin to take matters into their own hands and adjust their medication themselves, which can get them into trouble. The most common prescription drugs that are abused are painkillers (OxyContin, Percocet, Lortab, Vicodin and their generics), anti-anxiety medications (Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, Atavan and their generics), and stimulants (such as Ritalin and Adderall and their generics).
It's safe to say that most people don't set out to become addicted to prescription medications. Addictions can occur gradually. People who become addicted usually have risk factors, such as a pre-existing addiction from an earlier time (such as alcohol or other substances). People who become addicted sometimes have traumatic issues, such as abuse in their past, which make them more vulnerable to the effects of drugs and the "escape" feeling they can cause. They may also have a genetic predisposition to addiction.
Signs of addiction can include:
Taking more of the drug than intended, such as a patient thinking "I'll only take 6 today" and they actually take 12, because they are not able to limit their consumption.
Family members or friends express concern or are affected by the user. (For example, the person with the addiction may be missing family responsibilities, not working, not going to school, etc.)
Having withdrawal symptoms when use is stopped or interrupted because of running out of medication. These symptoms may include flu-like symptoms—aches, chills, fatigue, as well as insomnia. (Each drug has specific withdrawal symptoms.)
Having cravings for the medication.
Giving up social activities or family activities because they are either unable to attend or don't want to risk being confronted.
An increase in tolerance (When more of the substance is needed to achieve the effects the person is used to.)
Continuing to use, even though there are consequences associated with use. Potential consequences include risking arrest for buying them illegally; trading or selling; risking being dismissed from physician; having a court order not to use drugs as related to a child welfare case.
What to do if you think you or a family member or friend has a problem with prescription drug abuse:
The situation is different for each category of drugs (stimulants, painkillers and anti-anxiety).
If a person is abusing stimulants, withdrawal from them is not a life-threatening situation. Use can be discontinued abruptly with few medical complications. However, because of the nature of the drug, very powerful cravings occur when a patient is attempting to discontinue. Trying to discontinue without at least some social support is very difficult. With all stimulants, the effects are quick, and they leave the body quickly. That's why it sets up a craving. For example, cocaine (which is not a prescription drug) leaves the body in minutes. A person who is addicted to cocaine is going to compulsively use because the drug gets out of their system so quickly. With prescription stimulants (mentioned above), they'll do basically the same thing: get in the body and leave fairly quickly, which is why there's such a potential for abuse. The XR (extended release) medications would be a much better choice for people prone to abusing substances are prescribed stimulants for attention deficit disorders and related issues. Physicians need to be made aware of any past issues with addiction whenever these medications are being prescribed.
Prescription Painkillers:
It's the fastest-growing area of abuse in the country. The number of people who are abusing prescription painkillers is really quite frightening. Many times, people want to know why their doctors keep prescribing so many painkillers for them and are angry with their doctors. But doctors are trained to treat pain. If someone comes in with a pain complaint, they're going to get treatment for that pain. Most people can take pain medication without any problem at all, but those who have risk factors for addiction need to be very careful about long-term use of pain medication. Withdrawal tends to be extremely uncomfortable and can take a long amount of time. This means that after the initial physical symptoms have subsided, there are a lot of minor physical symptoms such as insomnia, aches and pains, and difficulties with concentration and thinking. A lot of times, people think they can just "cut down." If they're truly addicted, cutting down doesn't work very well. So abstinence—complete avoidance—is the goal, and a cold-turkey approach is what is usually needed. This can require professional assistance to accomplish. To break this addiction requires different interventions depending on the medication taken, the amount taken and for how long. An evaluation at a treatment center would be the first step. There's a broad spectrum—from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient care—that may be needed.

Simi Garewal (born 17 October 1947) is an Indian actress. She is known for her work in the films Do Badan, Saathi, Mera Naam Joker, Siddhartha and Karz.
Early life[edit]
Simi Garewal was born in Ludhiana, PEPSU, in a Jatt Sikh family.[1][2] Her father, J S Garewal served in the army rising to the rank of brigadier. Simi grew up in England and studied at Newland House School with her sister Amrita.[3]
Film and television career[edit]
After spending much of her childhood in England, Garewal returned to India while a teenager. Her felicity with the English language induced the makers of the English-language film Tarzan Goes to India to offer her a role. A gangly 15-year-old, Garewal made her debut alongside Feroz Khan in this film in 1962.[4] Her performance was good enough for her to fetch many more film offers. During the 1960s and '70s, she was in several notable Indian films, working with leading directors such as Mehboob Khan's Son of India, Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker (1970), Satyajit Ray in Aranyer Din Ratri (Days and Nights in the Forest), Mrinal Sen in Padatik (The Guerilla Fighter) and Raj Khosla in Do Badan. She starred opposite Shashi Kapoor in Columbia Pictures' Siddhartha, an English-language movie based on the novel by Hermann Hesse. Garewal did a semi-nude scene in this film which caused some controversy in India.[5] Later, in the mid-1970s, she made an appearance in the popular film Kabhi Kabhie (1976), made by her brother-in-law Yash Chopra, and had a starring role in Chalte Chalte (1976).[6] Another notable role she played was as a vamp in Karz (1980). She starred in the BBC docu-drama Maharajas (1987), based on the book by Charles Allen.
In the early 1980s, her attention turned to writing and direction. She formed her own production company, Siga Arts International. She hosted, produced and directed a TV series for Doordarshan called It's a Woman's World (1983). She also made a documentary for Channel 4 in the UK called Living Legend Raj Kapoor (1984). This was followed by a three-part documentary on Rajiv Gandhi titled India's Rajiv. She wrote and directed a Hindi feature film Rukhsat and produced television commercials, for which she won the first prize from the 1988 Paters Award in Australia.
Garewal anchored the talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal.[7]
She usually wears her signature white clothes on TV shows and at award ceremonies, and is popularly known as "The Lady in White".[8] Garewal recently appeared on Say Shava Shava 2008 as a host and judge.[9] After the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008, Simi Garewal caused a storm of criticism in India and abroad by publicly calling for the Indian government to "carpet-bomb" the terrorist camps of its neighbour, Pakistan.
She returned to television with her new talk show India's Most Desirable on Star Plus which would interview Bollywood actors, business and media icons, and Indian cricketers about their "ideal and desirable beaus".[10]
Simi Garewal has her own website which she uses to interact with her fans: www.simigarewal.com. The site has her voice reading the text.
Personal life[edit]
Garewal had her first serious relationship at the age of 17, with then Maharaja of Jamnagar, who was also her neighbor in England.[11] In the early 1980s, Garewal dated Salman Taseer, a Pakistani businessman.[12]
Garewal was married to Ravi Mohan of Chunnamal family from old Delhi but her marriage was short and she is now divorced.[13]
Simi Garewal is a popular TV host and has acted in few Bollywood movies. In 1972, for her nude scene in Siddhartha with actor Shashi Kapoor, the movie couldn't be released in India due to censorship and created controversy.[14][15]

electronic image stabilizationAbbreviated as EIS, electronic image stabilization uses electronic processing to control image stability. If the device sensors detect camera shake, EIS responds by slightly moving the image so that it remains in the same place on the CCD. Electronic image stabilization may result in a decrease in picture resolution.

Windows Server 2003 is due to reach the end of it's life in July 2015, meaning that Microsoft will no longer support the software with further patches or security updates. This end of life includes all versions of Windows Server 2003 and all the sub-editions of the product: the Itanium x64 editions, the Compute Cluster Edition, the Datacenter Edition, the Web Edition and the Enterprise edition.
Welcome to ESP Projects! We are a growing company based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and we provide IT Support, Web Design, Cloud Computing and other IT Services to any organisation. Whether you are a small or medium sized business or you are a third sector charity, we have IT solutions that will suit you. We will work locally, regionally or even on a UK-wide basis. Our clients include all manner of companies from small home businesses, to complex operations based across multiple offices. You can see what some of them say about us here.

Here at ESP, we are often asked about Responsive Design with regards to a website; what it is, how it works, and why it's something that we think is crucial to the success of a new website amongst its visitors.
Traditionally websites have been viewed on a PC (or Laptop) with the aid of a mouse for navigation. But nowadays more and more people are using a variety of devices such as smartphones and tablets, and using their fingers or perhaps a stylus to navigate instead. This change means that the way the website displays its content has to be thought about from a multi-device perspective.
As you may be aware from the previous articles, Windows XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft from Tuesday 8th April 2014.
What does this actually mean to your business and are there any risks to your network?
The simple answer is yes, the end of Windows XP support from Microsoft opens the door to major security risks to your network.
We have been looking to offer a fully-fledged Phone System to our clients for quite some time now, and after testing many of the different systems out there we've finally settled on one which we believe offers the best feature set and provides good value for money.
Based on the common "Asterisk" Phone System, "Kerio Operator" is very flexible; it can be used in conjunction with regular ISDN telephone lines, or can also facilitate calls over the internet (VOIP). An outline of some of the features of this phone system are included below:
During October, Microsoft released the greatly anticipated Windows 8.1 update for its windows 8 operating system
Here at ESP we have been testing the Windows 8.1 release since it was made available via Microsoft's beta programme. 2 of our tech support engineers installed the final version and have been using it as their sole operating system to gauge how the update has changed the feel of the system
The popular software donation website CTX (standing for Charity Technology Exchange) has officially rebranded itself as the Technology Trust, or TT for short.
The TT site currently offers Microsoft licensing at significant discount for registered charities, which has helped these organisations implement systems which without the discount on software would simply not have been possible. TT have also started to offer discounted software from vendors such as Symantec, Adobe and Citrix

Hi New Here and Looking for some advice
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 12:00pm
Hi, I'm new to this board and being a stepmom! My SO has two little girls, ages 7 and 9. I have two kids of my own, ages 10 and 7.
When SO and I got together, he had told me that the younger one had anger issues. He had said it was from birth and BM and him had been working with her on them. He said BM did not handle her well at all and they clashed quite a bit. He said he found better ways to handle her. He said she is not in counseling for the anger issues but she is in counseling (or suppose to be) for bed wetting. Him and BM are not exactly on the same page about ANYTHING when it comes to the girls.
So I met the girls and it went well to start. I bonded immediately with the older one who is quite sweet. The younger one is too, when she wants to be. But she definitely does have anger issues, and I think more than he either want to admit or see. She can be quite difficult and hard to handle, she is very needy, she needs a lot of his attention, to the detriment of her sister. And she expects everyone to give in to her, which I will not do. I won't treat them any different than I treat my own children and I expect the same type of behavior. He asked me if I think he is tough on his kids. I said no, I am clearly tough on mine, which I am fine with.
So now that some time has passed, they have figured out that I am not going anywhere. The older one is fine, the younger one is not. BM is also in a relationship and getting married as soon as their divorce is finalized which should be in the next month or so. I have no idea how the girls are with her SO. The younger one is not great with me, no matter what I do. I try very hard to pay her a lot of attention and give her ample time with her dad. But I also discipline and don't let her railroad me which she does not at all care for and it angers her. He is fine with it and allows me to handle her as I see fit. I don't treat her different than I treat my two.
My concerns are a few. I am concerned about her need for attention at everyone else's expense. So far we have not had the 4 children together. We have kept the time with them separate to allow us to bond separately and get to know them. I was married a second time very briefly (1 year, very abusive and my children hated him) so I want my kids to have time with SO on their own to let them bond with him and get to know him before adding in his kids and I really want the same time to spend with his kids. I want both sets of kids to see they are going to get our attention and they are special, before we bring them together. And the way his younger is, I am worried with my younger. He is the only boy. He is also the youngest. SO ADORES him. I am really afraid once she sees that, she will get real jealous.
I LOVE SO. We are very much committed to each other and our relationship and our kids. I want to bond with her and I really do like her and love her. I just want to do what I can to bond with her. Any advice? Sorry so long
|Mon, 09-10-2012 - 5:06pm
IMO I don't see any harm in making introductions, you've both had time to get to know each other separately and your SO will not be feeling any less admiration towards the smallest boy anytime soon I'm sure!
Perhaps some changes in behaviour are in order to ensure that ALL the children get the same attention when everyone is all together? Obviously though, the smallest requires more attention since he is little, so maybe some conversations as a family group will also help - i.e. how much you and SO love ALL the children the same and each of them are special in different ways etc.
It's never easy blending families, but if you are in this for the long haul and everyone is comfortable having met with one another separately, maybe now is the time to do it!? Start small, then spend more time together to see how it goes would be my advice!
|Thu, 09-13-2012 - 12:23pm
I agree that it's probably time to introduce them to each other, and handle it from there. It sounds like you are very aware of how you treat each child, so that's a big step in the right direction. I could see some issues arising if you have plans on moving in together, I'm sure she'll be very jealous. At that point, it would be time to insist on getting her counseling so that she can work out her feelings.
Do you think that the mom isn't taking her to the counseling she is supposed to have?

South Bend, Ind. A mother of three killed in a bizarre accident last weekend will be remembered during a candlelight vigil Friday night, the same day she will be buried.
Twenty-four year old Amanda Ezra was vomiting out of the passenger side window on Sunday when investigators say 23-year-old Kyle Papa drove in between a utility pole and the wire holding it up, causing Ezra to hit her head on the wire and then on the van. Papa was driving Ezra's van after they left a party on Chestnut Street in Osceola early Sunday morning. Three other people were in the car at the time.
Ezra's funeral is at 11 a.m. Friday at Palmer Funeral Home on South Michigan Street in South Bend with burial to follow at Southlawn Cemetery.
Friday night's vigil will be from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. at Kate's Garden in Mishawaka, just off of Lincoln Way West. Organizers say they want to remember Ezra and also take a stand against drunk driving.
Ezra was a teacher's aide for head start in Elkhart and was attending classes at Ivy Tech.
Police say Papa was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana at the time. He initially fled the scene but was taken in for questioning later that morning. He at first denied driving the van but told police he had consumed "several beers and shots of whiskey" while at the home on Chestnut.
In a breath test, Papa blew twice the legal limit. He faces several charges. His initial court hearing is currently scheduled for July 1.

Cheap Thrills Exposes Human Awfulness
By Alan Scherstuhl
"Don't you want to deal with problems when they happen?" Rachel demands. She's just moved in with someone and, being level-headed, isn't quite prepared for the answer: "No, I'm in therapy." The couple fight, break up and see other people before getting back together, with Rachel seeking her soul mate out in their favorite watering hole to declare, "I'm in love with you." What she hears in reply is, "I'm in love with me, too. And I don't know if I can love two people at the same time." Somehow, they live happily ever after.
Woody Allen territory? Sort of. Not many movies other than his delight in such neuroticism. But even more rare are "lesbian movies" such as this; Bar Girls is great fun. Rachel's lover is Loretta, an affably insecure nut. Loretta's stumblings for her one true relationship are at the heart of this romantic comedy. Bar Girls is so good-humoredly well-observed that it has ample crossover appeal: rather than preach about sexual politics, it has Rachel defend her pronouncement that she loves Loretta enough "to fill the hole in the ozone layer" by insisting, "It's not bleak -- it's environmentally conscious."
Much of the credit goes to Lauran Hoffman's witty screenplay. "I just like to lie on my bed with my friends," Loretta confides when bringing Rachel home. "It's more intimate." Much to Rachel's disappointment, this is not an attempt at seduction. "I have to be in love to do it," Loretta explains -- so she rapidly does exactly that, falling in love as if it were a task along the lines of tying one's shoes. Even better, one night in bed, Rachel discovers that she doesn't love Loretta all the time; Loretta is wounded, quickly recovers, says she's relieved because she feels the same way, which of course wounds Rachel, and the scene ends as they turn away from each other.
Hoffman similarly gives the "agenda" a light, ironic touch. Not only has Rachel recently come "out," she also is recently divorced -- so when she moves in with Loretta, she wonders aloud as they're rearranging the bedroom, "Do you think I'm gay?" Loretta writes for a cartoon show; her subversive goal is to create a menstruating superhero. Her co-writer, the only male in the movie, supports her. "But," he says, "PMS is out of the question -- she could destroy the city." And Loretta's ditzy friend Veronica is so flattered when a waitress flirts with her that she reassesses her sexuality. "I'm sorry," Veronica says, "I just feel so euphoric. Will you just get me that lesbian!" When Veronica tells Loretta that she suddenly feels "so woman-centered," Loretta remarks, "Well, that's healthy -- being that you're a woman and all."
Under Marita Giovanni's nimble direction, Nancy Allison Wolfe makes Loretta a bright, attractive mess, and Liza D'Agostino creates a Rachel who's earthy and winsome. They play off each other so well that they -- along with Justine Slater as Veronica, the "convert" who finds lesbianism to be just hunky-dory -- hide the movie's flaws for a long while. Foremost among these flaws are stock, stilted secondary characters. And how the cast plays musical lovers strains credulity. But in this fluttering valentine of a movie, in which one couple announces, "We've decided to see other people for a few months until we get married," you can only shake your head and smile.
Bar Girls.

Are You Familiar With These Terms?Written by Jeff on March 8, 2013
When it comes to security, there is no shortage of jargon that gets tossed around the blogs and forums. Much of it comes from the threat landscape growing so rapidly and changing so fast that new attack methods are introduced on a frequent basis.
Just recently, the world of email security found itself adding two new terms to its lexicon. Both of these terms describe new twists on an old standby, phishing.
Phishing is one of the primary methods used for compromising computer assets. Anyone who read the recent Mandiant report knows that the ramifications of someone in your organization falling for a phishing email can have serious repercussions for the entire organization. These new approaches to this can present some real challenges.
One way that anti-spam solutions find, and block, malicious emails is by looking at their links. If any URLs in the email content point to malicious sites that are known, the email is blocked.
To circumvent this, attackers began using two techniques that became known as waterholing. The first method is to include a clean domain in the URL that is embedded in the email. When the recipient clicks this link, they are taken to the original website, but then immediately redirected to another site. This can be the malicious site or the attacker could mask his or her actions by redirecting a few more times before the victim reaches the malicious site.
The second approach to waterholing is when the attacker sends out a phishing email with a link to a site. At first, the web site is free of malware so nothing arouses suspicion. Later, the attacker uploads the malware to the site so people who click on a link a short time later will arrive at the malicious site. Typically, the attacker will send the phishing email out on a Friday night with a benign URL so that it makes its way through the filters. Over the weekend, the attacker can upload any malware to the site so that when the victims arrive at work on Monday morning the link, which once pointed to a clean web site, can now infect the victim's computer.
This term just recently made its way into the vocabulary of security professionals. It basically describes the coming together of the different types of phishing. You see consumer based phishing relies on the old tactic of casting a wide net in hopes you catch something. Phishers will send out millions of emails in hopes that they are able to catch some victims off guard. Fortunately, these emails are easy to spot. After all, if you receive an email that informs you of problems with your account at XYZ bank, but you don't have an account with XYZ bank, odds are you aren't going to fall for the trick.
Spear phishing, on the other hand, relies on the ability of the attacker to personalize an email message as much as possible. The drawback for this tactic is that they can't send their email to as many people – hence the term spear-phishing.
Longlining brings these "best" of these two worlds together. Using this tactic, the attacker can personalize the emails he or she is sending; and send the emails to a large number of people. Just like its namesake in the real world, longlining allows the attacker to cast a wider net than a traditional spear phishing campaign, while still using individual pieces of bait for each victim.
Understanding the different terms used in email security is not only pertinent to understanding the risks associated with email, but it is essential in understanding how to protection your organization, and users, against these threats. Knowing the names of the different attack methods, as well as how they work, will help you choose the right tools to keep you and your assets safer from these sophisticated attacks.

Longlining sounds kind of scary, maybe because it already brings together two different types of phishing. I guess if the mail sounds personalized, users will surely pay more attention and start to doubt whether they're receiving something that's real or not. I have received something that is quite like it, and mind you, I kept it for days though I didn't really open it. But I kept it. It means at that level they were successful for making me think they could be real. It doesn't come a surprise anymore why a lot of people these days are messed up by phishing.
I use my email for worked and almost became a victim of these security robbers. I was about to click A link promising to take me to a website offering discounts for a product I wanted when my friend warned me against it. His computer was compromised after he clicked a seemingly clean URL somebody emailed him. His computer heavily infected. So, yes, I share your opinion that one should understand email risks and protection. I'd like to add that knowing the latest updates in email security will also help prevent attacks, especially since new malware can crop up anytime.
No, I'm not, but it's a good thing that you came up with this list. My, there are still a lot of things I don't know about spam, or maybe new ones have cropped up. Either way, it's essential for anyone to be knowledgeable about the different security threats online. Knowledge will be our first weapon against them. When we know what they are and how they operate, we can then determine the best possible solution to end the problem. I hope you'll come up with more of this type of list very soon.
Hi, Kurt, it's a good thing that your friend was able to recognize the problem, especially the source. Infection can be caused by a lot of things, not only URLs or other attachments found in e-mails. His knowledge, though he has to learn it the bad way, will help him become wiser when it comes to managing e-mail. I would like to know, however, what he did afterward. Did he install an anti-spam filter? What did he use? What specific effect that does the malware have on his computer? Did it slow the system down?
Hi, Leslie! My friend did not really specify what happened to his computer. He just told me it slowed down significantly. I think a lot of his files were also corrupted. That was actually his main worry and complaint. One of our friends from college, who's into computers and stuff, installed an anti-spam filter, though I've yet to ask him what kind it is. It's an automatic thing; the one that instantly scans your computer and detects spam. My friend's happy with how things are going now. And we're both trying to learn all that we can about email security.

High-risk internet server exploit goes wild
Summary: An active Bind 9 exploit that a hacker could use to crash internet servers is in wide circulation, according to the Internet Systems Consortium
An exploit that a hacker could use to crash internet servers is being used in the wild.
The exploit targets a vulnerability in Bind 9, the most widely used DNS server standard, warned the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) on Tuesday. ISC is the organisation that supports Bind.
The hole in Bind 9 has no workaround. Administrators must upgrade to Bind versions 9.4.3-P3, 9.5.1-P3 or 9.6.1-P1 to mitigate the threat. The exploit, which a hacker could use to launch an attack against unpatched master servers, is easily available, warned ISC.
"An active remote exploit is in wide circulation at this time," said ISC in an advisory.
The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (Bind) is the most widely used DNS server standard. Bind 9 was coded to overcome security issues associated with Bind, and supports DNS Security Extensions, (DNSSEC), or encrypted DNS.
The Bind 9 dynamic update DOS vulnerability affects master servers for one or more zones. Receipt of a specially crafted dynamic update message may cause Bind 9 master servers to crash, said ISC.

The Hook Up: How Do I Break Up With My Best Friend?
I am 28 and gay but have never had a relationship. I have always kept my sexuality secret from my parents' but always felt guilty about this because they are left wing and in favor of gay rights. However they recently had a conversation in which they commented on being glad that they didn't have a gay child because "no parent would really want their child to be gay, knowing how hard life would be for them."
I have made a start to coming out and most people who matter know I'm gay, however it's now really tricky coming out to my parents. Is it worth the angst of coming out without having had the benefit of a real relationship?—Secret
Anna says: Yes! Please come out to your left-wing, in-favor-of-gay-rights parents. You don't need a relationship to do so. All you need is 10 minutes, a little courage, and a tasteful muffin basket. Or two out of three, at least.
A lot of parents think along those lines, that "life will be so hard for my child if they are gay!" Mine did. They don't mean to be jerks. They are coming from a place of love (most of the time). But, seriously, gay life is not that hard. Suffering from a debilitating, life-threatening illness is hard. Living in extreme poverty is hard. This kid's life: Hard. Trying to live under the constant threat of being eaten by lions? Hard. Kissing girls, in comparison, not so much.
Of course quality of life for queer people isn't the same everywhere, and I don't mean to belittle those oppressions, uncertainties, or fears. If you live in Uganda, you should probably stay in the closet. Or move immediately. But for a lot of us, the crap stew is getting less crappy all the time. And the more of us who can come out, the more it'll help with issues like fair employment, discrimination, bullying, and hate crimes. The more people who can speak up and say, "Yes, I'm gay" or "My daughter's gay," the more we will be heard and the likelier others will be to pick up a tiny rainbow flag and join the cause. Why? Because knowing a queer person humanizes those oppressions and makes them more real to people. If your sister can't get a job because her boss found out she likes ladies, you're much more likely to be upset and to take action than if it was, like, some random person on a blog that you've never met.
You don't say exactly how well you get along with your parents, but since you didn't mention any knife fights or restraining orders, I'm going to assume you get along OK. And if that's the case, then you definitely should come clean. For your sake, as much as theirs. Because lying, even if it's just by omission, is hard on our bodies and minds. It creates stress, and stress is the root of 90 percent of all illnesses. Seriously, in America, it's our No. 1 health problem.
So ready your muffin basket, kiddo. Or if you're especially ambitious, you could come out on a cake, like this girl did. Badass and functional! And good luck! It's gonna be OK, but we're still rooting for you anyway.
More on coming out here and in the AfterEllen coming out archives. We have an archive! I didn't know.

To afford the lifestyle you want when you retire, you need to do something about it today - the buts stop here. It may be tempting to say, "But retirement is a long way off", yet it's never too early to start investing in order to protect your future. To find out more, read our 'Pensions Guide' section by clicking 'Open Guide'. Once you have read that, why not view our 'What is a Pension?' video, presented by Lisa, our online guide.
Our easy overview introduces you to the basics of pensions, provides information on the products available and gives you helpful hints on things to consider.
If you get married, form a civil partnership or start to live with someone, you may want your pension scheme to provide financial support for your partner if you were to die first.
Most company pension schemes offer a package of benefits that includes life insurance while you're working and a pension income for your spouse, civil partner or dependants if you die.
If you're not married or in a civil partnership, your company scheme may not automatically provide a pension income for your partner. You may be able to make sure they get some financial support by paying additional voluntary contributions or giving up some of your own pension income.
If you've got a personal or stakeholder pension your partner will probably automatically get something if you die before you retire (eg the value of your pension fund). When you retire you could arrange for your plan to provide a pension income for your partner that would start if you were to die first. However, to do this you'd have to save more or accept that your own pension income will will be lower.
Another option may be for your partner to start their own personal or stakeholder pension. You could even make payments into their plan on their behalf.
As with most things connected with divorce/dissolving a civil partnership your pension can become quite complicated.
You can apply to the court for a financial settlement. A court has to take the value of any pensions you both hold into account when dividing the family's assets.
Even if you choose not to use a court, you should still consider your pension arrangements if you separate from your partner.
Loading…please wait
Pension Tracker is an exciting way for you to take control of your Aviva pension plan. It's an online service that helps you manage your pension arrangements any time that suits you, much as you can with internet banking.
Again if your response is, "But I don't really understand how to plan my finances better", we're here to help. It's all about getting the information you need to make the right decisions. Our tools and calculators can help you get to grips with your finances and plan for the future.
Pension calculator
See whether you're on track to fund the retirement you want.
Now you've learnt more about pensions, you can compare the features of Aviva's pension plans, or apply for your chosen option:
You can start a Stakeholder Pension plan with as little as £20.
It's a tax-efficient way of investing for your retirement, but bear in mind that you won't have access to the money in your pension fund until you retire.
You can make regular or one-off payments into a Personal Pension plan and stop, restart and change your payments to suit yourself.
It's a tax-efficient way of investing for your retirement, but bear in mind that you won't have access to the money in your pension fund until you retire.

Carnelians in the Bay : North Lake Tahoe Real Estate
Carnelian Bay sits on the shoreline of North Lake Tahoe. Real estate in Carnelian Bay ranges from mid 300s to multimillion dollar Lake Tahoe luxury homes. Distribution of primary homes vs. second homes is evenly spread. Carnelian Bay is said to have a population of 524 and even has its own post office. Even though it sits at elevation 6,325 feet it is said to have Hot-summer Mediterranean climate, so it is no surprise that summer months significantly interfere with the census (and my driving). For the winter months ski resorts of Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley offer real estate owners a chance to cool down on the slopes.
There are many beaches that service North Lake Tahoe real estate and several in Carnelian Bay proper. One of the nice things about North Lake Tahoe real estate beaches is that they remain sunny late into the afternoon.
It is on one of those sunny Carnelian Bay beaches that I learned about its namesake, the Carnelians, the semi-precious stones after which Carnelian Bay is named, but only after many years of stepping on them.
Carnelians are brownish-red minerals that are often used as semi-precious stones. The name is a mispronunciation of Cornelian. Carnelian is a variety of the silica mineral chalcedony colored by impurities of iron oxide, although, to a plain eye it looks like a pinch of sand got a beat down over the years, and decided to combine into a rock.
To this day you can still find Carnelians on the Carnelian Bay beaches, and many Lake Tahoe real estate owners do fill their summer days scavenging for the little orange rocks. So, if you find yourself underwhelmed with Lake Tahoe beauty, look beneath your feet, and you may find some gems. Happy scavenging!

(12-7) Iroquois went from ice cold to red hot in January. The Raiders started off with a three game losing streak, but they refocused and revitalized their offense, winning the remainder of their games last month. Iroquois is putting up 71 points a game in their current 4 game winning streak. It will be interesting to see how the raiders fare tonight in their first game in February against the talented (19-5) Pleasure Ridge Park Panthers.
PRP is fresh off a dominating victory over Seneca, as they crushed the Redhawks by 47 points at home. This will be a battle of two sixth region teams. The Panthers are currently 11-1, 2nd place in region play and the raiders are stuck in the middle of the pack with a 3-5 record. The two teams are very well coached and play a similar style of basketball. Up tempo when the opportunity presents itself but both squads are comfortable running the majority of their offense in the half-court. Game time is 7:30pm at Iroquois high school.
