So I'm one of the later Sept. mamas, and I have an inexplicable feeling that I might end up an early Oct. mama instead. (Due the 28th, but if I were wagering, I'd bet on Oct. 1. No idea why.) Anyway, I've been carrying really low the entire time and at this point, I can't imagine this little boy settling any lower into my pelvis than he already is. That said, is it obvious when baby drops for low carriers?
If this is a stupid FTM question, forgive me. Just wondering what to expect.
No personal experience here, but I was told that you'll feel a difference regardless of whether you carried low or high. A friend of mine said that if nothing else, you feel your belly against your legs a LOT more after baby drops (while you're sitting down).
Yes, you'll know. I've been carrying low this whole pregnancy but when this baby dropped (and then dropped again), I felt like I was going to die. I have constant pressure and pelvic pain (like I want to put frozen peas on my crotch kinda pain). At my last OB appt on Thursday my doc told me the baby was so low it's barely in there, lol!
GL mama!
Carter Robert 7.18.08 | Brynn Sophia 5.24.10 | Reid Joseph 9.10.12 | Emerson Mae 1.27.14
I agree with most of the PP statements. I have carried both of my girls low and have always had some kind of pressure but when they dropped it really feels like my lady parts and pelvis are being crushed. It is getting hard to stay standing for any length of time. I am due on the 27th

• Quick prototyping and development of new products and services The technology must support the creation of new products and services based on speech in an efficient and timely fashion.
In this paper I present a vision of the voice-processing industry with a focus on the areas with the broadest base of user penetration: speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, natural language processing, and speaker recognition technologies. The current and future applications of these technologies in the telecommunications industry will be examined in terms of their strengths, limitations, and the degree to which user needs have been or have yet to be met. Although noteworthy gains have been made in areas with potentially small user bases and in the more mature speech-coding technologies, these subjects are outside the scope of this paper.
As the telecommunications industry evolves over the next decade to provide the products and services that people will desire, several key technologies will become commonplace. Two of these, automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS), will provide users with more freedom regarding when, where, and how they can access information. Although these technologies are currently in their infancy, their capabilities are increasing rapidly and their use in today's telephone network is expanding.
Beginning with advances in speech coding, which now allows for high-speed transmission of audio signals, speech-processing technologies and telecommunications are the perfect marriage of a technology and an industry. Currently, the voice-processing market is projected to be over $1.5 billion by 1994 and is growing at about 30 percent a per year (Meisel; Oberteuffer; The Yankee Group, 1991). Figure 1 shows a plot of the projected growth of voice-processing equipment sales from 1989 to 1993. The two driving forces behind this growth are (1) the increased demand for interactive voice services such as voice response and voice messaging and (2) the rapid improvement in speech recognition and synthesis technologies.
Figures 2 and 3 shows the current (as of December 1991) distribution of market share for the voice-messaging and voice response markets, respectively. These figures show Octel being the market leader for voice-messaging systems and AT&T the market leader in voice response systems. The data also indicate that there is no one dominant system provider in either product family. These data obviously represent a maturing industry and a mature technology (speech cod-

National Prescription Drug Take Back Day
SCHENECTADY -- Saturday is Nation Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. It's a program done nationally by the Department of Drug Enforcement Administration. The program allows anyone to dispose of unwanted or un-used medications and put them in the hands of law enforcement to dispose of them properly and safely, so they will not be sold on the streets, or end up in water sources.
The service is free and anonymous, no questions will be asked. However not everything will be collected. Needles, IV bags, creams or liquids cannot be accepted.
Prescription drug abuse has been a growing problem in New York, and Senator Chuck Schumer just announced that the FDA has approved regulations that make it harder to access painkillers that contain Hydrocodone. It's now been reclassified as a Schedule II Controlled Substance. That will impose greater restrictions in how doctors can prescribe it and how much can be prescribed.
On Saturday, October 26th, you can drop off your unwanted prescription medications from 10am until 2pm, at a number of sites:
- Rotterdam Police Department
- Schenectady County Sheriff's Office

We know quarterbacks that come off the board in the early rounds are going to be impact players. There is a reason we see Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady at the top of the leaderboard in terms of points. Still, impact quarterbacks can be found in the middle rounds for certain. While others look to spend picks early to land one of the top quarterbacks, other owners feel that biding time and selecting from a "second-tier†makes their team that much more effective.
Three quarterbacks that are somewhat in the middle of the pack right now are Eli Manning, Tony Romo, and Matt Ryan. Each can certainly make an impact on your team and their performances will certainly have a major influence on some key receivers that are being quite well thought of in early drafts. All three have had a certain frustration aspect in common over the last few seasons. They can go from carrying a team one week to throwing three interceptions the next.
But what are they ready to do this season? Here is how these three impact quarterbacks stack up and how you can take advantage of their draft position.
Eli Manning
This is the classic example of frustration. Manning threw for nearly 5,000 yards last season yet he only had four games of three or more touchdowns. In and of itself, that may not seem so bad. When you compound it with five games with just one touchdown or, worse, zero, that makes for a tough fantasy season unless yards are scored heavily. Give him some credit though. Manning nearly doubled up his interception total and completed 61 percent of his passes. Over his final five games including the playoffs, Manning threw 12 touchdowns and just one interception to go with 1,565 yards passing.
The point is, he continually improved. The Giants have also added help in the backfield through the draft and eliminated the headache that was Brandon Jacobs. There is a defined scheme in the backfield here. Add in a passing game that should have strong receivers on either side with Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz and this is a strong overall offense on the outside. A healthy Domenik Hixon will add to the depth. Better said, Manning's passing yard totals and overall completion numbers show that these three receivers should see plenty of fantasy production regardless of his performance. Throwing for that many yards means plenty of balls to go around and an offense that will generate points.
As a sixth round pick, Manning fits the bill of a quarterback that can help once the initial wave has gone through. His numbers continue to improve and the final portion to the season and playoffs showed growth. This is a guy that could easily be a man on the move.
Matt Ryan
The difference between Ryan and Manning last season? 50 yards per week. The two had identical touchdown and interception numbers and eerily similar completion percentages. It boiled down to no more than two points each time they took the field. Over a season, it can add up. In a given week, it probably is not enough to sway the needle too much. Ryan had five games of three or more touchdown passes and did not throw an interception in six of his last seven contests during the regular season. Ryan came on over the course of the second half after starting the season with one touchdown or less in six of his first seven games. In reality, it was a tale of two seasons for the Atlanta starter.
It should be more of the second half numbers as the 2012 season begins. With two of the game's best receivers in Julio Jones and Roddy White on either side, Ryan will have the tools at his disposal early on to make a positive impact to the numbers of all three. Add in Harry Douglas as well as second-year player Kerry Meier and it shows a stable of options along the outside and slots for Ryan to use. Atlanta also will continue to throw out Tony Gonzalez at tight end, still a tremendous option and easy red zone target.
Atlanta continues to have a strong ground attack with Michael Turner and have added a back in Jacquizz Rodgers that can simply seem to do it all from the slot to receiving back to change of pace option. The dynamic should make the Falcons offense more potent. With Ryan at the center, this could be the year he makes the leap.
Tony Romo
Dallas always seems to be one step away from breaking out. A key injury hurts them each step of the way and it leaves the offense with a hole to fill. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, but the guy always at the center of the controversy is Romo. Maybe he needs to be given some slack though. With seven games of at least 290 yards passing, only one interception in his final four starts (against 10 touchdowns), and 4,200 yards in 15 games, Romo is more than an impact player.
On the ground, Dallas will enter with two strong pass-catching backs in Felix Jones and DeMarco Murray. Both provide more than just help between the tackles. They serve as strong outlet receivers that can do a lot after the catch with the ball in their hands. Each will get used and will add to the overall offensive picture. Their role will likely expand pending what goes on with Dez Bryant and his off-season issues. Still, without that even factored in, Romo will add to his totals as both will be ready to go to start the season.
Miles Austin spent more times on the sidelines than he did on the field last season and Dez Bryant had issues adjusting to being a number one guy. Austin's return means speed on the outside while Bryant can work more effectively in the middle area of the field and over the middle. Kevin Ogletree should develop into a third option for Dallas that can expand the passing game as the competition at number four intensifies over the preseason.

Interview: Elisabeth Fies, Writer/Director 'The Commune'
As you may recall from a few weeks back, we posted a review for the cultish terror known as The Commune. The film is remarkable in creating both tension and a startling atmosphere as our unsuspecting teenage female protagonist not only comes of age while amongst a group of unorthodox people, but also as she meets a terrible fate at the hands of her crazed father and his clan of anything goes followers.
Its a film that's unnerving in both the conceptual aspect of the pseudo religious cult as well as the otherworldly father who completely oversteps and eventually, destroys the familial bond which is oftentimes so strong between a father and daughter. The film works on so many levels and I likened it in some regards to both The Wicker Man and Rosemary's Baby. But that's not to say that filmmaker Elisabeth Fies' picture isn't original or unique, it truly is. To invoke the spirit of both of those films while having your own exceptional tale to tell is definitely a fine accomplishment.
I recently had the privilege of interviewing Elisabeth. Here is what she had to say about her idea for the film, its themes, as well as her disdain for the current run of unoriginality in the filmmaking world as well as the crippling effects of internet piracy on the indie filmmaker.
Cortez the Killer: You had mentioned to me that you lived in Northern California for awhile and you got the idea for the film based on the culture you experienced there. Tell me a little bit more about it and how it served as the basis for your film.
Elisabeth Fies: I grew up near Marin County at the height of the Me Generation's narcissistic exploration of themselves through the cult-like self-help movement and the invention of New Age religions. My entire childhood was steeped in it. Some people view The Commune: A New Cult Classic and think the culture and characters are far-fetched. Not northern Californian viewers. They love it and think it's dead on. These aren't stereotypes. You can't swing a black cat in NorCal without smacking someone like each character.
CTK: I grew up in San Diego so I've never experienced anything quite like that. We had loads of hippie stoners and meth addicts though.
The imagery used throughout and some of the scenes themselves were certainly of a shocking and unnerving nature. But for me, it was the whole concept of the cult being open to people of all beliefs and this idea of a spiritual free-for-all which ultimately creeped me out. Coming from a pretty conservative Catholic upbringing and seeing, overall, how religion can be manipulated and melded for self-serving gain, the concept really struck a nerve with me. I don't know if this was intentional or not. I guess my question is, was it intentional and was it meant to strike a chord with people who come from some sort of spiritual background?
EF: It was totally intentional to make the theme about the Me Generation's invention of New Age religion. But the movie is absolutely not about any specific group or religion, just about the concept of people who make up their own rules and how dangerous that is in the hands of unbalanced people with questionable boundaries. It's a huge, unnerving fear of mine having met people who fit this description in northern California at the height of the self-help movement in the 80's and 90's. My spiritual background is I was born Jewish, went to Catholic grade school, was Wiccan in high school, and I am now agnostic. But I've studied a ton of religions and participated in the majority of them out of intellectual curiousity. What I find with The Commune is that it's an ink blot test for people. You view it through your spiritual filter, and because it's so confronting and personal, it feels like it's about your belief system. But it isn't.
We've had some interesting Q & A's after screenings with people whose feathers were ruffled, but they quickly realize it's a fictionalized world examining the power structure of new religions and cults, not your religion or cult. I literally drew mythology and symbols from every culture, from ancient Sumeria to Native Americans to the Japanese. The funniest story I have about this aspect is after an early personal screening for an investor, he turned to me during the credits and said 'So what do you have against Buddhists? I'm Buddhist.' I was speechless. I went back through the movie and there is one let me say it again ONE Buddha in the entire movie, and it's there for two seconds. That was the first inkling of what we'd created in this movie, and how it strikes a nerve in audiences.
CTK: Commenters on the blog mentioned the relative lack of films within the religious communal/cultish sub-genre of horror. Why do you think this is and do you think it has anything to do with society's inclination to stray from anything that could potentially offend the moral majority?
EF: Certainly the studios have steered clear of it recently, but there's no reason why indie filmmakers couldn't be tackling the subject more. But this brings me to a frequent complaint of mine, which is the holocaust of creativity in modern indie films. With the exception of Lars Von Trier, Crispin Glover and The Short Bus guys, people aren't using the digital revolution to express themselves and push artistic boundaries. Instead they're copying Hollywood films and trying to break into an industry that's already died. Maybe it's a good thing there's no money left in filmmaking and we're all splintering off into niche distribution sources. The sooner the Gold Rush myths burst, the sooner the poseurs will go back to buying lottery tickets and leave the creating to people who actually have a thought or emotion to express.
CTK: You are the first filmmaker that I've interviewed that's out and out said this without sugar coating anything. I appreciate your honesty.
Shifting focus, who are your main writing and filmmaking influences?
EF: Twin Peaks is the single biggest influence on me. After it, my two favorites are a tie: Sex, Lies, And Videotape and Terminator 2. Sex was when I realized I could make a movie too, and I could make it very personal and embarrassing and confessional. T2 was when I realized the best way to get a message out into the world was hidden in amazing entertainment value. So my first film The Commune is my SL&V, and my sophomore film Pistoleras is a high-budget spaghetti western actioner T2-style with a message of empowering women to learn self-defense and team with men to defeat the sex slave trade.
CTK: Sounds fun and Charlie's Angels-ish but way more badass.
Multiple mentions have been made about your film bringing to mind The Wicker Man and Rosemary's Baby. This is a likening which I mentioned myself, with even the ending having that same sort of vibe as Rosemary's Baby. Did those films influence you and to what extent?
EF: Structurally the most influential sources were The Wicker Man, Chinatown, and the book Mists of Avalon. Then I borrowed film techniques from Don't Look Now and The Howling. I think there were only two moments I took from Rosemary's Baby, and they were both at the end. There were many more nods to Repulsion and The Tenant. For the vibe, Twin Peaks was the largest influence. I had a whole production folder of stills and notes as far as which movies I was riffing on in which scene, and many of them weren't horror. My favorite is from Bergman's Through A Glass Darkly. It's a postural reference to incest. My character is laying on Loki in the same way that Karin lounged on her brother Minus. I don't know. It's tough that we're compared to Rosemary's Baby because it's such a cliche blurb that way too many thrillers and horrors claim or are saddled with, to the point that it's meaningless and embarrassing. It's like all the frat boys in the 90's and aughts calling themselves the next Tarantino. Let's put it this way: our crew t-shirts referenced The Wicker Man: 'I sacrificed on Summerisle and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.' Pretty effing funny, right?
CTK: Indeed. I can see how it could be frustrating when your film is compared to one that has been referenced a lot in comparison with others. But the spirit of it, I felt, was there. And that's a good thing for me personally as I feel that Rosemary's Baby is one of the most atmospherically driven films ever, horror or not. To be honest, I've never seen Repulsion or The Tenant and now I want to seek them out.
OK, to remake or not to remake? That is the question.
EF: Not to remake. 'Nuff said.
CTK: I don't like to over generalize things but this is a movie that works effectively on multiple levels with using a female lead rather than a male. The movie has to hit harder for a female viewer, particularly with the themes of young innocence lost and the breaking of father-daughter bonds. Why is the film ultimately more effective in using a female lead vs. a male?
EF: Because women are more vulnerable as the subjugated sex in our society. It's always more effective in thrillers and horrors to use a female lead because the balance of power is more uneven between her and the antagonist.
How The Commune is different than other horror movies is that my female protagonist is made for a female audience, not objectified for a male audience. The only reason the subject matter hits harder for women is because men in our culture are not trained to see through the eyes of a female protagonist. Only 8% of movies have a female protagonist, and even the majority of those films are made by men for men and aren't a true opportunity to see and experience the world through a woman's eyes. Men always bitch that women are impossible to understand, but then they ghetto-ize the female-centric movies and music that would let them know us. Men need practice at trying on a female heroes' skin instead of objectifying it. Those who are willing to have a whole universe of stories and feelings awaiting them that they could never imagine.
CTK: In your comments before the movie rolled, you lightheartedly acknowledged that someone could be viewing a copy of your movie that they had downloaded from the interwebs. I thought it was an interesting spin in that you didn't get angry but rather encouraged them to make a donation. What is your overall take on internet piracy and does it help or hurt the indie filmmaker?
EF: There's no 'help' about it. D.A. Sebastian's Hot Rod Girls (check out a recent, interesting post about the filmmaker's experiences here), Jaman Winan's Ink have been crippled by piracy, and received not even a pittance back from the community. You try to work with piraters and find out what they want, you give it to them, and they still won't even pay a dollar. All they really want is to steal. More than any other factor, piraters have single-handedly destroyed indie filmmakers.
CTK: I liked the way this question was posed by our friend Stacie Ponder over at Final Girl so I'm going to ask it of you: What's the one- ONE- horror movie you love so much you want to stick it down your pants?
EF: The Wicker Man. But I'd rather have a fourgy with The Wicker Man, Halloween, and The Shining.
CTK: Fourgy? I'm stealing that one.
Any upcoming projects or fellow indie filmmaker projects that we should be on the lookout for?
EF: Yes, I'm halfway done producing I Hate LA. It's an all female horror anthology riffing on Paris, Je T'Aime. Each filmmaker got a different neighborhood in LA to write and direct a Twilight Zone-esque story about the specific horrible aspects of that burrough. We've had a ton of fun, and the shorts are great. Three have already played individually in festivals and won awards, so you're definitely going to watch it when we tie all the stories together with our female view of Hollywood (check out http://www.ihatelamovie.com/) And I'm raising money to make Pistoleras, which is going to change the world. Check it out and help us at http://www.pistolerasmovie.com/
And of course you can view The Commune: A New Cult Classic at Indieflix streamed for $4.99 or buy the DVD for $9.99 http://www.indieflix.com/film/the-commune-a-new-cult-classic-30584/
You can get the Special Edition DVD with two commentary tracks, extras, and a behind the scenes doc directly from me at http://www.thecommunemovie.com/. I'll even autograph it, send you a personal note, and talk to you about the movie afterwards to get your feedback.
CTK: Greatness! Thanks for sharing. I think that's awesome that you are a filmmaker who genuinely appreciates feedback regarding your work. Well I really appreciate your time and your thoughtful and candid responses. Truly truly best of luck to you in the future.
EF: Thanks so much for all your help, and for providing such great questions! Huge appreciation. Thanks for being a hero!
Ed. note: Recently, Elisabeth was nominated for a Golden Cob Award which recognizes only the best in B-Movies. She was nominated in the Best Emerging Director Category. Show some support and vote for her here: http://www.goldencobawards.com/index.php?sid=47479&lang=en
Thanks again to our friend BJ-C over at Day of The Woman for alerting us to this incredible filmmaker and amazing person.

I remember your review of this movie Cortez, it got me interested in the movie because of its religious themes. Im all for movies that unmask religion for what it is, so because of this alone, I applaud Mrs. Fies and her movie, it is a daring subject that not many people dare to write or film about. People are so touchy when it comes to religion!
Wicker Man is also one of my top favorite films for this alone, I love it for how it explores the themes of religion and the dynamic between its leaders and followers.
I also love other films with the same theme like: In the Mouth of Madness, Bad Dreams, Silent Hill, Conan The Barbarian...
I found this interview with Elizabeth Fies so interesting, she is very candid, very sincere with her answers. That is something thats kind of hard to find.
Her movie alone makes a statement on what a brave filmmaker she is, studios dont like to fund movies like this one because theyll scare away the masses, and loose money. I think its almost like a rule they have "dont make the movie about religion"
But whatever, people need to be talking about these themes, and like Mrs. Fies said on her interview, more indi filmmakers should be making movies about this important issue.
Im going to watch The Commune and review it!

@TFC, thanks for seeking out her film. I'm excited to hear what you think about it.
@Sarah, thanks, much appreciated. Definitely check it out. Her movie is priced very affordably and its no lie, she writes a personal note and autographs the copy of the film. She was very engaging even before she knew I was a blogger. Just a geniune person. Can't say enough about her and her remarkable film.
@El Mike, Gracias! She certainly is!

In addition to growing the amount of solar energy included in the company's overall energy mix, Georgia Power is also increasing the solar energy capacity of the Green Energy Program. Georgia Power conducted a solar request for proposal (RFP) to procure energy from up to 1 MW of solar generation to supply the voluntary green-pricing program. The winning bid was chosen in December of 2011 and the 1 MW project came online in June 2012.
The Green Energy Program now has 5.4 MW of solar capacity under contract. Georgia Power has 4.4 MW of solar energy under contract from customers through the Solar Purchase Program.
The Green Energy Program's main sources are solar and landfill gas—which is a type of biomass. Landfill gas comes from the landfill gas-to-energy generation facilities at DeKalb County's Seminole Landfill and Waste Management's Superior Landfill in Savannah. Solar energy comes from individual solar-power producers.
In May of 2011, Georgia Power's Green Energy Program received a huge solar-power boost due to an agreement signed with Wiregrass Solar and the Lowndes County Industrial Authority. Wiregrass Solar, the county, and Hannah Solar recently completed a 230-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic facility. The facility will produce approximately 350,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually.
"This is the largest solar farm in the Solar Purchase Program," notes Wilson Mallard, green energy program manager. "We are really proud to add it to our program, and we look forward to adding more solar capacity to the program as we need it."
Mallard says he expects more solar facilities to be built as green energy becomes more popular with individuals and companies.
"We are excited about the future and hope to grow the program significantly," says Mallard.
Did You Know?
Georgia Power has a wholesale contract to supply 1 megawatt of solar energy to Dalton Utilities. See more of our solar projects.
Did You Know?
Georgia Power currently has nearly 1,100 megawatts (MW) of hydro, biomass, landfill gas and solar energy in its renewable generation portfolio. Along with nuclear energy, which is virtually emissions-free, the company generates nearly a quarter of its electricity from these energy sources.

This edition of Top Picks features a post that offers a fresh framework for examining savings groups, a post that synthesizes recent research on payments in South Asia, and a post on the relative effectiveness of aid approaches.
Steering the conversation on savings groups towards foundational concerns, or at least towards more interesting matters than the oft-trodden territory of model and methodology specifics (e.g. passbooks versus ledgers), Paul Rippey in a new Savings Revolution blog post offers six questions for potential consideration. Here's a portion of one of the questions: "How big is the gap within the program between what is said and written, and what is done? Said another way, the casual disrespect and bending of procedures makes management incredibly difficult and inefficient."
In South Asia, domestic remittances are conducted much more than international remittances, and they're carried out mostly in cash through informal channels. These are two of the big findings from a recent Gates Foundation survey, highlighted by Jake Kendall in a new Next Billion blog post. The post provides a brief overview of the importance of digital payment options for the poor and shares the big findings from the Gates survey, which interviewed individuals in South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) and Indonesia on their experience with payments. Another key finding from the survey, demonstrating a big potential market for digital payments, was that the majority of those interviewed – who represent the majority of a population of 1.9 billion adults – reported having sent, brought, or received a domestic or international remittance in the past 12 months.
What's better?: an organization giving money to the poor with no strings attached, or an organization giving the poor productive assets which require higher expenditures that hinder the organization's scope? That's one of the big questions presented in a new post, "Cash or Cows?", on the Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) blog. It's a question getting a lot of attention recently thanks to the increasingly talked-about organization GiveDirectly that gives money directly to the poor in Kenya, with no associated conditions, via M-PESA mobile money transfers. To put this approach to the test, GiveDirectly agreed to allow IPA to conduct a public evaluation (which is currently underway) of the effectiveness of their work. In addition to exploring this question, the post takes an additional half-step of comparing the net impact of conditional and unconditional cash transfers, drawing on IPA research.

The majority of individuals around the world without formal bank accounts are women. In the developing world, 63 percent of women lack accounts, versus 54 percent of men. Mobile financial services offer a path to inclusion given that 1.7 of the 2.5 billion unbanked own mobile phones. However, the path is longer for women, as the majority of mobile phone owners are men.
Visa, mWomen, and Bankable Frontier Associates are working together to bring mobile services to women. Today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona they're releasing joint research that examines how to best design mobile financial services to reach women at the base of the pyramid (BoP), Unlocking the Potential: Women and Mobile Financial Services in Emerging Markets.
You might remember our posting about mWomen research on mobile phone usage among BoP women earlier this year. The previous report, Striving and Surviving: Exploring the Lives of Women at the Base of the Pyramid, cast light on the opportunity for mobile money services to benefit BoP women. This potential was evidenced in the report's findings that BoP women are largely responsible for managing their family's finances, that they often go to unsafe, costly, and time-consuming lengths to do so, and that one of the biggest barriers preventing their use of formal financial services is a lack of nearby facilities.
Unlocking the Potential builds off Striving and Surviving to establish where the developing world is with mobile financial services among BoP women. Over the past few months the research team has worked with women in Indonesia, Kenya, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and Tanzania to better understand their relationship with mobile financial services, examining how they manage their money, what their needs are, and how mobile financial services can fit into their lives.

Making the most of the last days of Summer this weekend, with delish desserts . . .
and a lazy stroll in the park.
Thinking ahead, snazzy tartan tights for the coming months.
And on the hook this weekend, Queen Anne's Lace scarf in ivory, you'll find the pattern here.
And a glitzy number, I couldn't walk past this sparkling yarn spotted at Spotlight. For this scarf I'm working a simple mesh.
And always one to have a few projects on the go, I started another Larksfoot. This one I'm working in greens, and it will keep my youngest son cozy this winter!

News From Public Safety: Me, You and the School Bus
There is a saying, "The little things in life are the most important." I remember as a child making a card for my mother and the emotional connection. Perhaps, you have experienced something as simple as a glimpse of sunshine peering through clouds on a gloomy day and watched how it brightens people's faces with happiness.
Let's discuss little children, who impact our lives in a big way. The school bus routes have again returned to full schedule on our Campus. In the Journal Era (Sept. 2, 2010 issue), the 2010-11 Road & Street Directory denoted bus routes on the Andrews campus. Route stops included The Crayon Box, Garland Apartments and Beechwood Apartments. The routes time varies and are approximate. The time frame for the pick-up and drop off time for these routes range from 7:10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
When the children are walking to and from bus stops and when children are riding in the bus, we are reminded to be extra careful.
A school bus has lights (red and yellow) mounted in the front and the rear of the bus. When the bus has activated red lights, a motorist is required to stop. When you observe the yellow lights activated, this means the bus is ready to turn the red lights on and you may need to stop. A safety measure for motorist is to be attentive and to be prepared: Presume when you see a school bus that there are children around.
There are consequences for not stopping for a school bus with its flashing red lights active and/or the bus stop arm is extended. The school bus driver will file a report for the processing of a citation.
Safety measures for children also include being attentive when walking to and from the school bus. Children should also be advised to not listen to electronic devices, or call/text on the phone. They need to be prepared as pedestrians to react to what is around them. Children's clothing also matters. For example, if they have a hooded shirt, and the hood is on, can it impact their line of vision? Lastly please caution your children to always use the crosswalk.
You will also see other school buses on our campus either for events or for the drop off and pick up of community students of the Berrien County Math & Science Center. Further information on school bus safety can be found on the internet at: http://www.michigan.gov
Additionally, we have State of Michigan booklets available at the Office of Campus Safety, " What Every Driver Must Know." Feel free to stop by our office for the booklet or if you have any questions (4355 International Ct/269.471.3321). This booklet is also available on line at: http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,1607,7-127-1642-103522--,00.html.
The safety and security of our campus and our children involves everyone's participation.
Thank You.
Operational Lieutenant Rojelio Castillo
Andrews University Office of Public Safety

|Richard Sherman celebrates Seahawks' win over 49ers with flurry of crazy
|01.19.14 at 10:05 pm ET
After helping his team beat the 49ers in the NFC championship game, 23-17, Seahawks defensive back Richard Sherman used his postgame interview with Fox Sports' Erin Andrews to verbally attack San Francisco wideout Michael Crabtree.
For a complete recap of the game, click here.
|Lights out: Ravens beat Niners in electrifying finish to Super Bowl XLVII
|02.03.13 at 10:48 pm ET
Joe Flacco threw three touchdowns and Jacoby Jones returned a kick 108 yards as the Ravens held on to beat the 49ers, 34-31, in a bizarre Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Sunday night. Flacco finished 22-of-33 for 287 yards and three touchdowns in earning Super Bowl MVP honors.
Colin Kaepernick was on the verge of engineering the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history when it appeared the Ravens committed a blatant defensive holding by Jimmy Smith on Michael Crabtree in the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the Ravens' 5 with just over a minute left. No call was made and the Ravens took possession at their 5 and killed off most of the clock.
The game ended when the Ravens took a safety on a punt with four seconds left, and then punted away to Ted Ginn. The 49ers specialist returned it 31 yards to midfield but was tackled as time ran out.
The game marked the first loss in six Super Bowls for the 49ers while the Ravens won for the second time in as many trips to the big game, winning Super Bowl XXXV in Tampa.
In a game that featured an electrifying halftime show by Beyonce and a 34-minute power outage minutes later in the third quarter, Kaepernick led his team from a 28-6 hole in the third quarter back to 31-29, passing for a score and running for another as San Francisco scored 23 points in just over 12 minutes. However, the Niners could not convert a two-point conversion that would have tied the game.
The Ravens jumped out to a 21-6 halftime lead thanks in large part to the sensational play of Flacco, as he threw three first half touchdowns. Ed Reed picked off Kaepernick and the Ravens gambled on fourth-and-9, but kicker Justin Tucker was tackled a yard short on a fake field goal. On the next drive, Flacco hit Jones for a 56-yard touchdown pass, putting Baltimore up 21-3.
Jacoby Jones opened the second half by taking the kick eight yards deep in the end zone and racing up the middle for the longest kickoff return in Super Bowl history.
Moments later, as San Francisco was facing third-and-13 in its own territory, the lights and power went out through most parts of the Superdome. The game was delayed 34 minutes as NFL officials and stadium administrators went into a frenzy trying to restore order and power.
After the lights came back on, the Niners were forced to punt. But on their next drive, they began a furious comeback. Crabtree caught a 31-yard TD pass. Frank Gore, who finished with 110 yards on 19 carries, ran around the right side for a 6-yard score after a Ginn punt return.
David Akers converted a field goal that cut the lead to 28-23. The Ravens added a field goal early in the fourth quarter, making it, 31-23. The Niners then scored on a Kaepernick 15-yard run. With a chance to tie the game, the Niners could not convert a two-point conversion. Reed appeared to be offsides on the corner blitz, but no call was made and the Ravens held a 31-29 lead.
After another Ravens field goal, Kaepernick got the ball back with a chance to win. The Niners drove to the Ravens' 7. But with four chances, the Niners couldn't punch it in.
|Power outage delays Super Bowl 34 minutes in third quarter
|at 10:13 pm ET
In one of the most bizarre moments in the 47-year history of America's greatest game, a power outage at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome suspended play of Super Bowl XLVII for 34 minutes Sunday evening.
The Ravens were just celebrating a 108-yard kickoff return by Jacoby Jones for a touchdown and appeared ready to put the game away.
With the 49ers trailing 28-6 and facing a third-and-14, stadium lights cut out on San Francisco's side of the field. Then lights went out throughout the building.
The NFL released the following statement after play resumed: "Stadium authorities are investigating the cause of the power outage. We will have more information as it becomes available."
Superdome spokesman Eric Eagan followed with a statement on behalf of the building: "We sincerely apologize for the incident."
Speculation was rampant following a spectacular halftime show by Beyonce that required numerous flashing lights and finished with dramatic flare.
The 49ers captured the game's momentum, scoring 23 points in just over 12 minutes of game time following the outage.

|Peter King on M&M: 'I just fear Colin Kaepernick a lot more than I would the San Francisco defense'
|02.01.13 at 2:30 pm ET
Sports Illustrated's Peter King spoke with Mut & Merloni Friday about HGH testing in the NFL, commissioner Roger Goodell's State of the League address, the 49ers offense and the Ravens defense.
King said he thinks the idea of the Ravens as a "team of destiny" that will be driven to victory by intangibles isn't the Super Bowl's best storyline.
"I think the emotion's a silly angle. Maybe the emotion helps you for five minutes, but you've got to play football," King said. "I think we get these comfortable storylines – great defense versus an old defense – that's the storyline down here, and I just say, have you watched the games? I don't see, when I watch the San Francisco, a peerless defense. They've got eight sacks in the last five games. That's a great pressure defense?
"Aldon Smith, Justin Smith – no sacks in the last five games. Aldon Smith had a good game in the championship game, but I don't know, I think we lapse into storylines too easy, and I pick the Ravens, too. I just fear Colin Kaepernick a lot more than I would fear the San Francisco defense."
Following are some highlights from the conversation. To hear the entire interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
On whether Ray Lewis' legacy will be affected by the SI story: "Not making any accusations, just stating a fact, but there is not currently a test in the NFL for HGH. So if there's not a test, how do we know that 800 players don't use HGH? So I'm not charging anybody with anything, but there's a lot of things right now the NFL can't test for, and so there are people who are going to believe what they want to believe and that's it."
NFL Network analyst Heath Evans spoke with Mut & Merloni from New Orleans Friday about his own use of the velvet deer antler substance Ray Lewis reportedly used, how it differs from traditional steroids, and how the Ravens can beat Colin Kaepernick.
Evans said he has been taking the deer antler substance in tablet form, which is stronger than the spray, and that it's made a significant difference in his cognitive function since he retired from football.
"I've had ADD since I was born, but probably only in 2009, 2010 – I would be lying if I said I didn't have concern about maybe some of the cognitive stuff, just stuff you shouldn't forget," Evans said. "And over the last six months since I've been taking the velvet deer antler tablets, I sleep. I rest. I recall on-air on NFL Network, being sent downstairs at night by Beth and not forgetting what she sent me down there for."
"I'm, like, the least psychosomatic person in the world," he went on. "The chips that [SWATS co-owner Mitch Ross] put on people's wrists so they run faster and bench more, they didn't work for me. And I think there are a lot of psychosomatic athletes, and I would not represent that product of his. But the deer antler was something I was introduced to in 2008 by a good friend of mine that runs Garden of Life, the multi-hundred billion dollar company, and I saw some good, actual things come out of it.
"I don't use notes on air anymore. If I do, it's once a week or it's a longer-working subject. Last year, I was almost strapped to my notes at times."
Evans said if Lewis did take the deer antler spray, it's not worthy of the PED discussion it's drawn.
"The PED word, steroids and all that nonsense – this is nothing, and I mean nothing, like that," Evans said. "If that helped Ray recover, it was minimalistic. It probably did have some effects, but it was because Ray dieted perfect. He rested perfect. He did everything else they told him to do. He had surgery and he took care of his body, and he probably wasn't out drinking and smoking and doing a lot of the stuff other NFL players do, and his body responded, because our bodies are amazing when we treat them right."
|Bringing the Super Bowl closer to home with 'the world's most popular sporting event program'
|01.28.13 at 3:58 pm ET
They published the 2013 Inauguration Program for President Barack Obama. They publish the program for one of the biggest evens in tennis – The U.S. Open – and they handle publication for baseball's annual Hall of Induction ceremony. And once again, they will publish the single most popular souvenir of America's most popular sporting event.
H.O. Zimman, headquartered in Lynn, Mass., publishes the official souvenir program of the Super Bowl.
They bill the $20 program as a publication that has "stories that will indulge the senses" as part of "the world's most popular sporting event program."
Among its 264 pages, the best selling feature of the Super Bowl XLVII Official Souvenir Magazine is the high-glossy finish of action photography, popular feature stories from national writers and several features including one on every winning team's Super Bowl ring.
It's not quite the $3.8 million for a 30-second TV spot during the big game but Super Bowl program advertisers do reach a captive audience that goes well beyond the 72,003 fans inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, as the program is considered a must-have by hundreds of thousands of football fans worldwide who make it a tradition to collect the program every year.
Those who advertise in the big program receive a complimentary advertisement in the 2013 Pro Bowl Official Magazine, which was played Sunday in Honolulu.

My wife is big on salads and felt the same about hers. I don't recall what she had for dinner. I had the prime rib dip, and it was good.ReplyDelete
The service was fairly slow as well for us, and it was empty (4th of July evening). Overall, It wasn't super impressive. I wouldn't not go back there, but I doubt we'll plan to go there for any reason specifically. There's other spots around there that I would go first.
We've been there a few times. They seem to really be struggling to get people in there. A month or so ago they were giving away free bacon cheeseburgers to everyone who came in to try and lure people in. Each time that we've been in we have been surprised at how empty it is. I've always thought the food was pretty decent and they have good bar specials from 5-7 with half price apps, etc.ReplyDelete
I think they are just in an odd spot after the construction...not real visible now and their patio is now kind of right off the highway which is much different than it was a few years ago before the new roads.

This is the least-known of the products reviewed here. Published by Baseline Data Systems, Info Accelerator is slowly making its mark as an impressive alternative to more well-known products. Available only via the company's Web site, Info Accelerator is an impressive contender for the top PIM slot.
My favorite feature of this software is its omnipresent tool bar that makes hopping in and out of the program incredibly convenient. The tool bar resides in your start-up folder in Windows 95, letting you access your phone book, calendar, notes and so on. More impressive still is its SmartLink technology, which lets you easily transfer data from one application to another. From within Microsoft Word, for example, users can highlight text and place it into Info Accelerator's phone book or grab a name and address from the phone book and import it into a Word document. It's seamless. Similar functionality is available for such programs as Quicken, QuickBooks, Timeslips, Eudora, Excel and more. This is a very powerful tool.
The phone book feature offers more functionality than the same feature of the other PIMs reviewed here--it has more contact management functions. The calendar feature is also incredibly strong--it's easy to navigate and gives you plenty of options so you can organize the way you want to.
If your office is networked, you can opt for the network version of this product, which is capable of running under any Windows network. With this version, you can share data and schedule meetings.
Baseline also shipped me QuickNotes, a separate program ($59.95) that, on a very basic level, is like a "Post-It" program for your computer. But QuickNotes is much more than that. First, the notes can be up to 10,000 characters long, you can place notes in an unlimited number of file folders with subfolders if you choose, and you can search for notes, color code them, set alarms and more. This is a program I could quickly integrate into my daily work style.

For Valley sports fans who enjoy attending professional baseball games but don't always want to pay big-league prices, there is an alternative this summer.
Minor league baseball is back for the first time since 2000 in the form of the independent Golden Baseball League. The league, which owns all of the franchises, features seven teams from Arizona and California and a traveling team of Japanese players. The Mesa Miners, the only entry from the East Valley, will throw out the first pitch of their 90-game schedule at 6:35 p.m. today when they host the Yuma Scorpions at Hohokam Park.
Doing the honors will be right-hander Grant Williams, who is entering his fourth season in independent ball.
This level of baseball, "is a fun atmosphere for kids and families," Williams said. "They can be more intimate with the players and be able to get autographs right after the game. And there are lot of promotions."
Ticket prices range from $5 to $13, but for the first three games, all seats are $1.
The Miners are managed by former major league pitcher Les Lancaster, who played for the Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals from 1987-93.
While there is only one bigname player in the league — future Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson plays for the San Diego Surf Dawgs — Lancaster said fans can expect to see a highly competitive brand of baseball.
"You're not going to see the superstars like you do with the Diamondbacks," Lancaster said. "But you're going to see kids out here that are really busting their butts hard and giving it everything they've got to get a first chance to get with an organization or get back to an affiliated team."
Each team is required to carry eight rookies on its 24-man roster and can have up to five players over the age of 27 and up to two former major leaguers.
Shortstop Cleatus Davidson, Mesa's only player to have reached the big leagues, said the Miners have a very balanced roster.
"I think we've got a pretty good all-around team," said Davidson, who has played professionally for 11 years and spent part of the 1999 season with the Minnesota Twins. "This spring we've been swinging pretty good and our
pitching has been throwing well. I'm real positive about this team and our season."
So is Lancaster, who has five years of experience as a manager in independent baseball.
"I've been surprised with the power we have," he said. "That's been a bonus for us. I knew I had the speed; I knew I had the defense. And the pitching has been solid like I thought it would be."
SHORT HOP: Among the promotions scheduled for this weekend is Pat Sajak night on Friday. The "Wheel of Fortune" host, who is one of the league's investors, is scheduled to make an appearance at the game and 2,000 bobble heads in his likeness will be given away.
Golden Baseball League What: New independent baseball league
Teams: Arizona Division — Mesa Miners, Surprise Fightin' Falcons, Yuma Scorpions, Japan Samurai Bears; California Division — Chico Outlaws, Fullerton Flyers, Long Beach Armada, San Diego Surf Dawgs
Miners Tickets: Range from $5 to $13 and are available at the Hohokam Park box office; the Miners front office, 123 N. Centennial Way, Suite 150, Mesa; at www.mesaminers.com or by calling (480) 396-4637

In my opinion the Meth Heads are ruining our country. Not that we don't have enough problems on earth with global warming and green house effects. The dopers, tweakers, crack heads are ruining our nation in record speeds. The Ice heads are so messed up that help for them is almost useless.
They can't seem to get off that junk, and dont want off once they have done it.
I ran into and old friend today I had not seen in 25 years, he looked like death knocking on heavens door wanting in.This person looked really bad . I asked him why he looked so bad he shamefully replied, meth. After I gave my 30 min scolding about that crap, I went on and I don't think he even listened to what I had to say.

We've all heard the stories. You know the ones I mean. An online store is hacked and credit card numbers are stolen. Or malicious hackers instigate a denial of service attack to put a site out of commission. These events raise many concerns regarding the safety of the internet from a privacy standpoint. This also includes your home computer, especially if you are on a broadband connection. But even if you access the internet through a modem connection, or just because you are not online very often, doesn't mean your computer is safe from malicious hackers. The more common ways for someone to gain access to your computer, to violate your privacy or to steal data or cause damage to your system are:
In the following text, I will briefly address each of these issues. However, there are websites already available that can give you more and better information than I can. One of the best sources is www.grc.com, a website operated by Steve Gibson. Mr. Gibson is heavily involved in internet security and privacy issues. I suggest you visit his site as well as the following. Other sites are listed throughout this document.
If you don't believe you're vulnerable to such attacks, the firewall I am using recently blocked an attempt by someone to gain access to my computer....from Denmark! Read on!
So exactly how much information can someone get? You may be surprised. A little 'javascripting', a click of a button...
I assume I now have your attention! Don't be concerned, the above is a demo only. This site does not extract information from you without your knowledge. Actually, most of the information listed above is rather harmless. In fact, since different browsers can require different approaches to programming and scripting, many websites read the above information so they can properly display and/or redirect you to the proper pages. However, a bit more programming, an Active-X control here, a JAVA Applet there, and its not difficult to plant a virus or Trojan to 'steal' information from your computer, to determine what sites you like to frequent, etc. If this concerns you, it should! So what are some of the methods used by malicious hackers and what can one do to prevent such unwanted intrusion? Let's see.
A spy program is any program that secretly resides on your computer and transmits information to a host without your knowledge. Although it could be used to retrieve sensitive information, spy programs are generally used by marketers to determine your buying habits, the types of sites you like to visit, etc. This information is used to study demographics and to target ads that are of interest to you. None the less, it is an obvious intrusion on one's privacy. These spy programs, also known as ad-ware, are often included with and installed at the same time as many freeware and/or shareware programs you may download from the internet. Sometimes, the ad-ware program is imbedded in or made an integral part of the freeware/shareware program you installed.
There's no such thing as a free lunch! Some of you probably use some of these ad-ware infested programs. However, many of the 'free' software downloads available on the internet is free because the author is compensated by various marketers when the author dispays their ad banners. Unfortunately, many of these programs do not let you know exactly what they are doing. For example, you may know they exist, but may have thought they only retrieve and display banner ads. In fact, behind the scenes, these programs may be collecting data about you and are transmitting that information back to the appropriate parent. So what programs perform such covert and dastardly deeds, click here to find out. Another interesting article detailing the actions of RealDownload and NetZip can be found at http://grc.com/downloaders.htm
If you want to know how to remove these ad-ware programs, and don't want to finish reading this page, click here.
A Trojan horse is a destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. Not a virus, perhaps one of the most infamous, although by no means the only one out there, is Back Orifice. The program itself is not necessarily malicious. In fact, it can be downright useful. When installed, it allows an administrator to take control of a computer remotely. As such, the administrator can repair problems, install software, etc. over their intranet, extranet or the internet. The problem is the use of such a program by malicious hackers. Since it is most often used by malicious hackers, Back Orifice has an infamous reputation. One problem with Back Orifice is that it can be difficult to detect, although since it is such a popular malicious hacking tool, many virus programs will detect this program. There are a variety of sites available that help you detect Back Orifice such as www.nwinternet.com/~pchelp/bo/bo.html and www.ozemail.com.au/~dwarren/backorifice/. You can also type Back Orifice into any search engine to find additional information beyond these sites. Unfortunately, anyone can easily download this program from a variety of 'hacker sites'; perhaps the most prominent being 'Cult of the Dead Cow'.
But as stated above, Back Orifice is not the only Trojan out there. Like a virus, Trojans can be distributed in a number of ways including via e-mail. In fact, the ironic part of all this is that the user must be duped into installing the Trojan him/herself! Unlike a virus, most Trojans are not detected and cleaned by anti-virus software, thus the need for anti-Trojan (anti-backdoor) software. There are a variety of sites available that will educate the average user about Trojans and Trojan detection and removal. One of the best is Dark Eclipse Software. Despite the name, this site was developed to aid you in detecting and removing Trojans and comes highly recommended. Other informational sites include:

No discussion of computer and internet security would be complete without some mention of viruses and worms. We are all familiar with viruses as they tend to be widely publicized. Viruses can be programmed to do a variety of things from nuisance or joke effects such as flipping your screen upside down to more malevolent species such as erasing your hard drive. New viruses are being created everyday. Currently there are somewhere near 50,000 different viruses that could potentially infect your computer, quite commonly through email attachments. There are also hoax viruses. These are generally not real viruses, they do not exist. However, they tend to propagate by being forwarded by concerned users who in turn learn of them through an email. Although it isn't necessary to keep up to date on what viruses are out there, it is necessary to keep you virus database for you anti-virus software up to date. It is also wise to check out virus messages to determine if they are in fact a hoax. Some reliable sources of information regarding viruses and hoax viruses are listed below. Click here if you want don't want to finish reading this page.
Malicious hackers often look to gain access to an individuals computer through a server. "But I don't have a server!" you say! You may be surprised. Although most people associate the term 'server' with some remote machine that sends them documents over the internet upon request, there is one type of server most people have. Instant Messaging! Yep! That little piece of software you use to chat with your friends and family over the internet is a simple server. This includes instant messaging from Yahoo!, AOL, ICQ, and MSN as well as a variety of smaller services. IM programs are prophesized to be the 'Next great internet breakthrough', They are already being developed to allow you to play games on line, to transfer files and images and even to talk over the internet. Fortunately, some of these IM programs allow you to grant access only to those on your buddy list. Since servers tend to use the same ports for various activities (i.e.: Port 80 is used for http:, port 21 is used for ftp:, etc.), it is wise to set your IM program to restrict access to only those on your buddy list. Even better would be to keep the program offline until you want to use it (i.e.: Don't use auto-startup).
Since I am not in the business of hacking into websites, I know very little about scanners. Suffice it to say they act similar to police radio scanners. They constantly scan the internet for open and unprotected ports. Malicious hackers often do not care which computer into which they gain access. Sometimes it's just to see if they can do it. Other times it's to steal credit card or other personal information. Yet another reason might be to use your computer as a platform for a 'Denial of Service' (DOS) attack. Actually, one can argue that home computers constantly on-line via ISDN, DSL or Cable service may be more at risk than many corporate sites since it's easier to gain access. The corporate sites have security measures in place, home users generally do not. So unless the malicious hacker specifically wants access to an on-line store or corporate site, you may be the better target. In any case, they're out there and you need to watch out for them.
The only way to prevent any of this from happening to you is to stay off the internet. Not the most practical solution today, and debatably even less practical tomorrow. Fortunately for the good guys, there are numerous talented programmers using their knowledge and expertise to prevent such blatant intrusions into our privacy. There are four types of software you need to protect your computer: AdWare removal, Virus detection and removal, Trojan detection and removal and a personal firewall.
The best way to protect against spy programs is not to download freeware and shareware. The reason this software is free is because the author is supported by banner ads through spyware programs. Often, these authors have a 'pro' version available for a minimal cost without the banner ad support. However, there are numerous other ways for spyware to invade your system. To this end, there are programs available that will remove spyware. The two I am most familiar with are OPTOUT and AD-AWARE. Both programs scan your registry and hard drive for known and suspected ad ware programs. They will also remove these programs if you want them to. Be aware that removal of some spyware programs may not allow the original program to function. In this case, you'll have to make a decision to remove the downloaded software or to run it with the spyware intact.
I should mention OPTOUT is a rather new entry in this market. As such, it does not remove as many spyware programs as does AD-AWARE. However, it is small, compact and easy to install. Besides, experience has taught me not to rely on only one program to do maintenance tasks. Therefore I suggest you download both programs.
Click here to go to the Shield's Up site to download OPTOUT.
Click here to download AD-AWARE
Although there are a variety of Anti-Trojan packages available, I am familiar only with The Cleaner from MooSoft. This program will scan computer memory and hard drives for any indication of a Trojan, then delete it. It can also be set to run in the background to monitor your internet connection for Trojan Activity. Highly Recommended. Unfortunately, I have never found a Trojan program as freeware or shareware. Fortunately, they are not very expensive, and well worth the money. Some sites you may want to visit are:
On the other hand, viruses detection software is available both as freeware and for purchase. Chances are there was virus software installed on your computer when you bought it. My personal favorite is Inoculate IT from Computer Associates. Other programs are listed below. It has been my experience certain virus programs work better with certain machines than others. For example, I did not have good luck with F-Prot and Win95 (although that may have changed) but did like McAfee and Inoculate IT. This is not to say F-Prot isn't a fine piece of software, it may work quite well for you. However, you may want to try several of them before deciding on one. I also encourage you to read the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article on anti-virus software. Some available virus software is listed below.
NOTE: Make sure you maintain the database for your Trojan and Virus software. Most vendors provide an auto-update function to aid you in doing this. Since new viruses and Trojans are being introduced everyday, it is imperative you stay up to date to protect yourself.
It used to be firewalls were available and created for the purpose of protecting mission critical data for businesses. Anymore, there are a variety of firewalls available to protect your system. A review of some firewalls can be found at www.8wire.com/articles/index.asp?AID=1384. Currently, one of the best, if not the best, personal firewall available is ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm. This program is very intuitive and easy to setup and use. Probably the most unique feature is it's ability to block unauthorized OUTGOING transmissions (Such as those from Trojans and Ad-Ware). At this time, it is the only firewall able to do so. As such, it comes very highly recommended. Not all firewalls are free, although ZoneAlarm and Sygate Personal Firewall are. Some of these firewalls even allow you to trace the origin of the hack. Firewalls you may want to look at are:
Hopefully, the above information has been of some use. I purposely did not go into extreme detail as many of the sites listed are far more adept than I to give you such detail. I highly encourage you to download and try each type of program. It is your privacy, possibly your identity, you are protecting! Direct questions to the webmaster. I will try to answer them if I can.

I thought it was difficult in the sense that no matter how much you research and prepare for an interview like this, you really never know. The examples you may have prepared for the interview may not match up to the questions asked. It was tough thinking of answers on the spot, but I feel like my interview went well and that it was a great experience. For me, if it's meant to be, it will be. The good news is that this whole experience is on a point system. Everyone has a fair chance to make a great impression on the application and on the interview!did anyone else feel the interview was really hard:/ i didd

Bones Review: Cold Cutby Chandel Charles at . Comments
A hairdresser in a landfill, Brennan with the post-baby blues, Booth struggling to make her happy and Aristu in an uncharacteristically informal mood.
"The Don't in the Do" sure was an interesting installment of Bones that left me wondering: would I ever go to the salon again?!?
It never ceases to amaze me how nasty some of these body reveals can get. I think this one that included the birds will have me wary of any animals flying above at least for the next day or so.
The birds, however, have nothing on the sheer terror that overcame me at the discovery that the shampoo boy had actually scalped Santiago for his hair. I will say, though, that no man should really be rockin' his coif like that. It's a matter of personal preference; but if you don't, then crazy Shampoo boys can't get obsessed with it and kill you for it. That's all I'm saying.
At least in between the dropping bluejays and landfill scene we had a lighthearted moment between Brennan and Booth.
Though I suppose lighthearted for us was akin to terrifying for Booth, as he was faced with Brennan's dissatisfaction with her wardrobe choices post-baby. Likening the encounter to walking into an airplane propeller was an astute observation. I wish all boyfriends/baby-daddies/future husbands(?) were as sensitive to those kind of questions as he is! Double points for his attempt to get Dr. Saroyan to back him up, though Brennan knew better.
I love how Sweets tried to counsel Booth about the situation, and that Booth wasn't having any of it. Their bromance is so one-sided, and it's a riot.
We do have to give Sweets some credit, though, he did get the lingerie thing right... sort of. It seems Brennan's not unhappy with herself, just a little "uncomfortable." Almost seemed like for a minute Booth's gift was only going to give him more problems, but right there at the end, the two of them looked like two mischievous kids about to have a little bit of grown-up fun. Did anyone else think it was cute Brennan admitted she'd never had lingerie like that before?
Another cute (though at first slightly disturbing) aspect of this episode was Aristu trying (and failing) to hide the fact he'd been published in the Forensic Journal. I've never seen him so informal, or so enthusiastic, as he was this episode. I only feel poorly that his piece got pumped for a puff piece on Selena Gomez.
Is that even possible? It certainly lacked credibility, but it sure made for a fun moment with Brennan. Someone should tell her that Selena Gomez is not a doctor, and that reading that article has the potential to drop her IQ about 15 points. Seriously, something like that should never makes its way into a professional journal of any kind!
Did you feel bad that Aristu wasn't published? Were you as upset as I am that Bones shamelessly plugged a Camry (even though this isn't the first time it's plugged a car)? Sound off on the episode now!
C. Charles is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Bones, Reviews
I didn't get the joke about Sweets' Camry calling him "Doug". Could someone explain?
I believe it was a reference to Titan the Robot, a fictitious robot from the UK I believe. (Basically a 7 ft transformer-looking costume worn by an actual man who became a cultural iconic trend about 4 years ago) who has a "master" named Dave. (Not Doug). My enjoyment in this conversation between Booth and Sweets stems from their budding bromance and the fact that Booth is just a geek trapped in hot, athletic, sexy package- Sweets is just geek-chic hot and sexy to begin with - I dont think it was a shameless plug for toyota but more of a way to put the Titan the Robot reference in the story. Geek-chic writers. I LOVE IT! I wouldn't be surprised if John Francis Daly didn't write that in!
E um dos filmes em que mais gosto.
Was anyone else impressed by Booth flying through the air to tackle that suspect? That was awesome! I had to rewind and watch it several times. Simply Awesome!
I love where the show is going at the moment, but would love to see Dr- sorry chef- Gordon Gordon Wyatt again. Surely they can chase up Stephen Fry again for at least one episode???
This was a great episode! Chemistry between all the characters was wonderful. I laughed several times and enjoyed every minute. I think the conversations about baby care are hilarious. Brennan and Booth are back in tune. It's entertainment that makes you feel good.
I got cut off! Just wanted to finish my train of thought by saying we will all have to get used to the product placement because sponsors are who pay for our favorite shows and they have to get something back for their buck!
Interesting to hear complaints here about product placement in Bones! Reality check, people! It's happening in just about every TV series now! I've read some articles about this phenomena, and basically we are seeing more of it because people are no longer actually watching commercials! We have this wonderful thing now called DVR - so television viewers can record their favorite shows and watch at a later date, at which point they can just fast forward right over the commercials. So, makes sense that marketing whizkids have figured out how to get a sponsor's products to the viewers, they place them in the actual episode where they won't be missed.
On Hawaii 5-0, the good guys all drive Chevys (sponsor), the bad guys drive Fords. Kamekona eats FIVE foot long Subway sandwiches in the middle of an ep, and everyone eats, sleeps and swims at the Hawaiian Hilton after flying in on Hawaii Air! It's all product placement, everyone knows it, and life goes on in paradise. We all will have to get used to it in all the shows we watch, since sponsors pay the way for our shows to be on, and they have to get something back for their buck!
BONES is a unique mix of crime drama procedural and character-driven ensemble story. Those fans who just want one or the other will never be pleased IMO. They should watch CSI or "Friends" reruns? For fans like me who watch BECAUSE of the mix, this episode was pure keeper.
Balanced, paced, real.
I loved it. And I have to admit I didn't even blink at the Toyota thing. It's what pays for the special effects, etc. No biggee.
I loved the show, and the baby-stuff, as well as the banter between Booth and Bones. Glad they wrote in the body issues.
I enjoyed this episode, for the most part, mainly because Booth and Brennan started showing affection for one another again, when in the past couple of eps they seemed more like brother and sister, they were so distant with each other. I ignored the blatant product placement, and I always enjoy it when Sweets is in a scene because he's just so darned adorable, though I agree with the comment that Daisy can be cringe-worthy. We also got to see Angela and Hodgins show affection in this ep, which is even more wonderful, because they have always had great chemistry on the show. I thought the case and Aristu were rather boring, but I was satisfied with the relationship aspect of the show and the ending
