Writer and journalist Barrett Brown has been charged by the U.S. attorney with conspiracy to reveal private information about a government employee, Internet threats and retaliation against a federal investigator.
Mr. Brown, who has sometimes been referred to as a spokesman for Anonymous, was arrested on September 12 at his Dallas-area home after he posted a series of bizarre and rambling videos on YouTube titled, "Why I'm Going to Destroy FBI Agent Robert Smith."
In one of the videos Mr. Brown, whose mood appeared to change from relaxed to enraged from one moment to the next, made direct threats against Agent Smith and implied he would investigate the agent's children.
Brown was taken in by Dallas Pd & turned over to the Feds the next day.
Back in mid-September The Daily Dot published the full video of the TinyChat session during which Barrett Brown was arrested by the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, as well as a link to the Pastebin transcript of the event. He was picked up by the FBI the next day: Read More

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has begun implementing a $1 billion face recognition program that will probably scare everyone outside of law enforcement. NewScientist reports that the Next Generation Identification (NGI) program will lump iris scans, biometrics, DNA and even voice prints into one formidable profiling tool and some states are already using the program in a limited fashion. The whole thing will be in effect across the country in about 2 years. NewScientist addresses the privacy problem: Read More
The Federal Bureau of Investigation may yank several crucial domain name servers (DNS) offline on March 8, blocking millions from using the Internet. The servers in the FBI's crosshairs were installed in 2011 to deal with a nasty worm dubbed DNSChanger Trojan. DNSChanger can get an innocent end-user in trouble; it changes an infected system's DNS settings to shunt Web traffic to unwanted and possibly even illegal sites.
DNSChanger oozed out of Estonia and may have fouled up as many as a half-million computers in the United States. The feds' temporary fix to keep the worm from propagating was to replace infected servers with clean surrogates. Read More

Watch bystanders try to put out fire on transporter full of new Volkswagens
Watching a small fire that no one can stop from becoming a big fire is like watching a train wreck in Super Slo-Mo. That is the spectacle we get from a rural two-lane road in Poland when a transporter truck hauling seven Volkswagen Passat wagons catches flame.
The cause appears to be some sort of tire or axle failure on the trailer that starts a little fire under one of the cars. For unknown reasons, no one among the bystanders has a fire extinguisher, so they try to put the flames out with snow. That doesn't work, and then when it takes 12 minutes for the volunteer fire department to arrive in their vintage Mercedes pump and get the first stream of water shooting – almost five minutes before the state fire department – the conflagration is big enough to cook cattle and s'mores for Zeus.
The transporter inferno is on the long side at 23 minutes, you'll find all of them in the video below. Click here to watch.

CATTLE I know you realize that copper
is a trace mineral and it is required by your livestock as well as in
your diet. It is a mineral that is quite deficient in Pacific Northwest
forages, hays, straws, grains, by-products and almost anything else
you might feed your cattle. Copper is an essential part of many different
enzymes. Symptoms indicating
Copper toxicity
is not normally seen and is hard to identify because there are no characteristic
symptoms. Dead animals are observed, red blood cells are destroyed, and
high liver copper levels are found when liver biopsy is performed. It
most often occurs when animals are fed a high copper supplement designed
for another species or too much copper has been added to a supplement.
Abnormally high intake of
a supplement may also lead to problems. Through the years I've had some cases where copper was deficient or tied up by other minerals. I hope these interest you. A rancher grazing irrigated pastures kept his cattle in four groups of 150 head each. Each group was rotated through a separate group of pastures, so that each group had their own pastures. One of the groups never looked quite right. They really didn't show off- color hair, but they never slicked off completely. The worming program on this ranch was based on continuous manure sampling and treatment. Flukes were not found in these cattle. The group in question weaned calves that were 50 lb lighter than the others. On two successive years, 2 calves suffered broken bones while they were being worked. No obvious injury was observed. While investigating the problem, we noticed that this particular herd had a small swampy area in it. We didn't think the cattle spent much time there, and so discounted it as any part of the problem. We missed that one big time! We analyzed some grass out of the swamp and did a liver copper biopsy and found very high levels of molybdenum in the grass and virtually no copper in the liver. We immediately made a separate mineral with a high level of copper for this group, and what do you know, the weaning weights were up the very first year and the cattle were all slick and shiny. There were no broken bones after that. Two brothers ranched on either side of a valley. Their cattle grazed in the hills as well as on the valley bottoms. We did forage testing and found that the forage on one side of the valley had high levels of iron and molybdenum and was very low in copper. On the other side of the valley, this was not the case. There was a moderately high level of iron and copper was marginally low. There was very little molybdenum. As it turned out, the fellow with a minor copper problem ran out of mineral and borrowed some of his brother's mix. Within a week his cattle were all drawn up and looked horrible. While visitng him, I happened to ask if he was putting mineral out, or had been using a new mineral. He mentioned that he had run out of his mineral and just borrowed some of his brother's. I was lucky enough to have the labels from both minerals and saw the huge difference in copper. One had 750 ppm while the other had 3500 ppm. My guess was that all the excess copper might have killed off many of the bugs in the paunch. The whole herd was run through the chute and given a probiotic to help re-establish the bugs and the mineral was changed back to his low copper mix. The cattle made a dramatic recovery and there were no further problems...there was no mineral sharing either! Another fascinating
copper event occurred on a ranch in Eastern Washington. The family purchased
the ranch and their very first calving season was a total wreck. Many
cows The final case was presented at a copper symposium held in Seattle several years ago. Canadian researchers reported on cattle grazing grass on a reclaimed mining site. They reported that the feed had 40 – 100 ppm molybdenum and 15-18 ppm copper. (The highest molybdenum level in forage that I have seen is 5 ppm, and copper seems to range from 4-12 ppm in the Pacific Northwest). They saw no problems with calf growth or cow reproduction. They got no response to supplementing copper. When yearlings were grazed on land with similar copper and molybdenum concentrations, they saw normal gains, and no response to supplemental copper. This is absolutely contrary to what we would expect! Several ideas were presented to possibly explain this (1) the chemical form of the molydenum. (2) extremely high molybdenum may react differently in grazing cattle. I'd love to hear about your experience with grazing cattle on a reclaimed mining site. Some observations mentioned at the copper symposium are quite relevant to our situation in the Pacific Northwest:
After 36 years working with cattle minerals, apparently I still don't understand copper (as well as many of the other nutrients!), and continue to find herds that are suffering production and reproduction problems that are related to copper. We now use more distillers grains than ever before. They are quite high in sulfur...much higher than book analysis tells us. Sulfur interferes with copper use by cattle, and this must be accounted for when using distillers grains as a source of energy and protein. Michael J. Mehren, Ph.D. was last seen riding his copper-colored boar into the desert hoping to find desert truffles. He can be contacted by Email at email@example.com. |

Cultivating Word of Mouth Marketing
Todd Walbridge of Tuxedo T-shirts Online is a self-proclaimed customer service freak. That's because he believes in the power of word-of-mouth marketing.
To grow his store's clientele, Todd abides by the age-old philosophy "The customer is always right." "The most successful large online stores have grown to their size with that mentality," he says. "We ship ungodly fast because that gets people talking. We take care of the customer first even if the bottom line doesn't make sense for that one sale. It will at the end of the month because that customer will come back and become a repeat customer and tell his friends."
On the flip side, offering stellar customer service also helps him avoid negative word of mouth. "Word of mouth can be your best and worst enemy on the Internet," he explains. "You get a few people mad at you and it can spread like wildfire through Yelp, Facebook and Twitter. One bad blog or review can take you down."
Merchants, though, can't always know if someone has published a negative opinion. Todd monitors his reputation by using GoogleAlerts, which tells him how many times his name appears online. "It gives us an idea about how our customers are feeling. If someone says something bad, we can do damage control by reaching out to them. If we've done something wrong, we can fix it. The most dangerous customers are the ones that don't complain to you because they instead complain to their family and friends."

"I want to make it in the pop line," she explains, "but pop is not what it was years ago. There is rap now instead." And even old-time pop is far too worldly for the conservative Jewish community in which Sarah has always lived and worked. "I mean, at Rosh Hashanah this year, I got an anonymous card," she says. "It said, `Stop singing in public. It is a sin. Men will see you and want to be near you.' I mean, what kind of fanatics?"
Not that it always pays to be a good Jewish girl. In one cabaret incarnation Sarah billed herself as Queen of the Yiddish Scene! People came expecting, maybe, a novelty act--but Sarah Steinberg takes herself far too seriously for that.
"People understand me better on the East Coast, anyway," she says. "My sound goes over better. The people are open to trying something new. In New York City this summer, one music executive, he says to me, `Sarah, you're your own best publicist. When you talk, the energy just comes through.'"
Boy, is this ever true. Over the last decade Sarah has written--and promoted, and promoted--over a thousand songs. Her show-biz streak descends directly from her mother, the former Helen Bullock, who broke the wood-chopping record at the New York World's Fair in 1939 and went on to parlay this unusual skill into a comedy act at New York's Latin Quarter. Born in Los Angeles but raised almost entirely in Denver, the Steinberg children--Sarah and her two older brothers, Dov and Mosheh--were brought up on a mixture of Yiddish and English, keeping strictly kosher and living in a small Jewish apartment complex on West Colfax.
At 18, Sarah had her own cable-access TV show, Something Special With Sarah Steinberg. ("And I asked all my guests when disco was coming back," she says, "and they all laughed their heads off, and now look! Disco is coming back in a big way, and the Bee Gees aren't getting nearly enough credit for it.") At 22, she was mobilizing musicians to help her become "the Jewish Amy Grant." And on the fiftieth anniversary of the wood-chopping record, Sarah scored her biggest coup--arranging appearances for her mother on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and Late Night With David Letterman. That short-lived proximity to late-night luminaries left Sarah breathless enough to write an album's worth of songs, most of which had the sound of adolescent unrequited love but were actually about various aspects of "the Carson thing" and "the Letterman thing."
Meanwhile, she and her older brother Mosheh continued to live in the apartment they'd grown up in, supporting the family by running Steinberg's Kosher Deli. But perhaps, Sarah hints delicately, for not much longer.
"Big things are happening," she confesses. "It's amazing how it all came together. It's all been heaven-sent. It started," she says, delighted to be telling you this, "with a Sinatra connection. Are you familiar with Taunton, Massachusetts? It's the main point between Boston and Providence, Rhode Island. It's a very main area."
It is also the childhood home of Helen Bullock Steinberg, whose chopping exploits are still legendary there--at least on community radio station WPEP. One recent Sunday morning, during the Sunday With Sinatra show, host Ed Texeira invoked Helen's name and invited callers to reminisce about what Sarah calls "big-time celebrities from Taunton, such as my mother."
Word reached the Steinberg household in less than a week, and the very next Sunday With Sinatra show featured a live phone call from Helen Bullock Steinberg. Did she wallow in her past? Deliver the day's fifth request for "My Way"? Offer to sing it herself? No. She plugged her daughter, Sarah Steinberg, and her just-released CD, Sarah Steinberg. "There's even a song about Taunton on it," she pointed out.
"Well," Sarah continues breathlessly, "Ed Texeira played that song, and he played it steady, steady, steady, and he knew people who handled distributing, and now my CD is in all the big chains, and they even have posters up. And at Roseland, a very fancy ballroom in Taunton, they play it. You think I'm crazy about the Bee Gees? You should hear this Ed Texeira on the subject of Sinatra. His show is now about 95 percent Sinatra and 5 percent me."
"It's an interesting novelty song," opines Jay LeForest, sales manager for WPEP. "Sarah Steinberg's music just seems to fit. Here's a girl who's writing about Taunton, and never in her adult life has she ever been here, but she wants to. And we've gotten a number of people wanting to know where they can purchase her record. I would say she is making a splash."
If so, it has yet to deluge Jim McGann, salesclerk at Taunton's Oasis Records. "We've sold, maybe, eight copies?" he asks himself. "I mean, it's different. I listen to alternative stuff, so I'm no judge. But we do have a poster of her on the door."

Louise Lennox goes all Irish with this lovely breakfast treat.
From: Kitchen Hero: Great Food for Less
Barmbrack is a traditional Irish fruit cake, which I used to get in my school lunchbox around Halloween every year. Traditionally, a ring is baked into the cake, and there would be great excitement every year as to who would get the slice with the ring in it. I always like to think it was Barmbrack that inspired the writers of Father Ted to come up with the episode where Mrs. Doyle bakes a jumper into a cake! This recipe makes a really beautiful, moist loaf, packed with flavour from the mixed spice and dried fruit, which has sat overnight in cold tea and whiskey to soak up all the goodness.
From: Rachel Allen's Cake Diaries
A wonderful recipe from Rachel Allen to top off a dinner party or meal for two
A fun baking idea for St. Patrick's Day
My mom has been making this recipe for as long as I can remember. First, you bake the appley, cinnamony sponge, then you pour the steaming, rich caramel sauce over and allow it to sink in. Heaven with cream or custard. There are 140 varieties of apples that are native to Ireland with wonderful names like 'Cavan Rose' and 'Irish Molly'. Any eating or cooking apple will work, so have fun experimenting with different types, not the same old same old!
This is a wonderfully light, fluffy cake due to the airy whisked egg whites folded in. Subtly scented with spices and lightly fragranced with citrus, this cake is perfect with a cup of tea. Or serve as a dessert with Greek yoghurt and fresh fruit if you want a lighter finish to a meal. I've used vanilla bean paste here which is one of my Pantry Pals (I love the aroma and natural sweetness of real vanilla seeds). The solid ingredients in this cake are measured in millilitres, so use your measuring jug instead of weighing scales.

Big Brother has come to an end. As promise this was the most twisted season ever. From the double HOH's and double nominees to the BB Replay button, Big Brother delivered. Could there have been more blowouts? Yes. Could there have been more drama? Yes. But it all comes down to the cast. This season was filled a lot of passive and drama free type personalities. With the exception of Zach no one wanted to stand out or go against the grain.
Part one of the final Head of Household competition was a perfect example of that. Shortly after the 20min mark Victoria fell off. Then it was just Cody and Derrick negotiating as to how long they should wait to give it to the other person. Ultimately Derrick came off next making Cody the winner of the first part, automatically advancing him to the final stage of the competition.
When I first saw Kenny Brain on the second season of Big Brother Canada, I was immediately smitten. I wasn't alone. Gay men and women across the country also found themselves falling for the bearded one. However, when he got involved with the horrible 'First Five' alliance, I slowly grew to dislike him. After seeing his leaked nude selfies, I'm officially back on the Kenny bandwagon. Dude is packing and packing hard.
OMG Blog has published a couple of pics of the 25-year-old prior to his lumberjack beard days. Side note, he looks way better with facial hair than clean shaven. In one of the photos, he proudly places his thick and impressive package on the counter. Check out the censored photos below with a link to the naked pics following that. Enjoy. You'll find yourself craving some major sausage ;)
All right guys tonight was the finale for Canada's first ever Big Brother! With a highly controversial end let's look back on how we got to this night.
For the first part of tonight three part HOH it was an endurance challange. Jillian going in figured she had the advantage as the girls are typically better at endurance challenges than the boys. However tonight's endurance challenge was built for the boys and she was not expecting that. The first challenge was named "No Blood on My Hands". Players had to balance themselves while holding a poll that held up a bucket of blood. The last player standing secured his/her spot in the last part of the HOH . The difficult part about this challenge was the weight of the blood, which caught all the houseguests off guard. After 1hr 33mins Jillian could not hold onto her bucket an longer and she was eliminated. I was glad she dropped first. She went into the competition way too confident telling Emmett she'll win the first part and he'll win the second making sure Gary had no power. At the 4hr mark, Gary dropped his bucket crowning Emmett the winner of the first HOH. Emmett automatically moved on to the final stage and got to sit back while Jillian and Gary duked it out for a spot next to him.
Okay I'm going through a range of emotions right now. When I should be feeling happy and excited I feel kind of sorry and upset that one of the final four left tonight. As we know tonight's episode was yet another one of Big Brother Canada's twists with an Instant Eviction. Arisa let the houseguests know at the beginning of the episode that they only had an hour before the instant eviction ceremony would take place. During that time we were shown the events that transpired after Sunday's nominations ceremony.
Gary and Talla sat beside each other on the block, both with final two deals with the only houseguest that was eligible to cast a vote. At the Power of Veto competition it was by far the most important competition of the season. The winner of tonight's Power of Veto would secure his/her spot along side Jillian in the final three.
Tonight's episode of Big Brother Canada had a light, almost reflective note to it as we were shown the ups and downs of Canada's first season of Big Brother. Before I forget, there wasn't much going on for the Head of Household competition. Everyone was it to win it and it came down to a 3-way tiebreaker. With both Gary and Talla being challenged with numbers it was a cakewalk for Jillian and she walked away with her 4th HOH win for the season. When it came down to the typical "Who wants to see my HOH room?" everyone including Emmett were less than thrilled to do the march up there.
Not surprisingly nothing interesting happened in tonight's episode. However I'll try to give you guys the main points and my thoughts going into the finale. Prior to the eviction we saw Talla and Andrew reaching a breaking point. Both being on the block tensions were running high and with alcohol involved sh*t got cray. Nothing too major happened, after all we have been blessed with a polite bunch of houseguests (yawn), but it did raise questions in peoples heads. During the argument Emmett put his hand over Talla implying he was supporting her in the argument. This struck a cord with Jillian as she wanted to stand up for Andrew and wondered where Emmett was coming from. Emmett eventually explained to her that it's best if the other players think there are holes in their showmance, to secure themselves votes for the jury. Makes no sense to me but whatever floats your boat. We also saw bits from Talla and Gary's family and their views of how they've played the game.
Tonight Big Brother Season 10 Winner and 14 runner up Dan Gheelsing joined the houseguests with one goal in mind, to stir things up! Dan is known for being the first houseguest in Big Brother history to host his own funeral and when all odds were against him, regain control of the house and make it to the end. He is by far one of my favorite players in Big Brother. The houseguests were informed that a mystery player would be joining them via BBMail. This is when Talla's screaming began. I would have evicted her weeks ago, solely based on her screaming. When Dan finally walked through the door he was greeted by a screaming Talla that then leaped onto him. He literally almost carried her down the stairs while she was still one him. After having a sit down with the houseguests he revealed that his presence was not to be welcomed as he was given the power to evict one houseguest right away. Immediately my heart sank because I'd recently been skimming the live feeds and a couple of them I didn't see Gary. Luckily it was one of the several jokes Dan would be "misting" the houseguests with during his stay.
After Thursday's eventful Big Brother Canada episode we picked up at the beginning of the Head of Household competition. Emmett, Andrew, Talla and Gary were battling it out to complete their puzzle first. I thought for sure that Gary would have the advantage but according to him puzzle aren't his forte. Ultimately Emmett managed to make sense of the puzzle and he completed his making him the new HOH. In other words, Jillian and Emmett have the HOH room to themselves again..

What's the formula for a terrific buddy trip?Well, it starts with the promise of tons of sun, and it probably ends with a healthy dose of the local nightlife. In between, it's about great golf. The Grand Canyon State delivers on all counts. From the ponderosa pines and 7,000-foot elevation of Flagstaff to the juniper, sagebrush and red rock–filled high deserts of Sedona and Prescott to the cactus-covered mountain slopes of Greater Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona offers a much greater diversity of golf environments than some might think. Best of all, there are fistfuls of courses, hotels, restaurants and off-course activities to fit every budget. Maybe you want to test yourself on the trophy tracks, or maybe you're just looking for a few good places to horse around with your pals. Either way, we guarantee one of these Arizona golf buddy trips will be a highlight of your year.
In high season, from January through April, golf bargains
may be scarce but good values are out there if you know
where to look. A vast array of courses awaits, from
traditional, tree-lined tracks to target-style desert
layouts, and the roster includes a fair number of
value-oriented places. Big-city attractions such as pro
sports and top resorts, plus tribal casinos and gentlemen's
clubs, if you're so inclined, make this area the undisputed
buddy-trip capital of Arizona. No matter what you're
looking to spend, this is the place to start.
Embassy Suites Phoenix-Scottsdale
800-362-2779; embassysuites.com; $189/night. This
Hilton-affiliated chain offers buddy value in the form of
complimentary breakfast, newspaper and evening manager's
reception. The central location, directly adjacent to
Stonecreek Golf Club, is superb.
Apache Stronghold (San Carlos)
800-272-2438; golfapache.com; $55. It's a bit of a
hike— a little over an hour's drive from
Phoenix—but well worth it to play a Tom Doak design
for just over fifty bucks. A memorable set of greens,
mountain vistas and a hotel-casino next door are
Papago Municipal (Phoenix)
602-275-8428; phoenix.gov/sports/papago.html;
$38/$49 cart.
Short on frills, long on value. Not quite Bethpage or
Torrey Pines as munis go, but certainly in the next tier.
The rolling, traditional layout features ancient stone
Papago buttes as backdrops.
Stonecreek (Phoenix)
602-953-9111; americangolf.com; $79–$115. If you're
staying on-site, you'll save on gas. Regardless, you'll
enjoy this out-and-back Arthur Hills design that ribbons
through a wash and also features elevated greens, views of
Mummy Mountain, and the eponymous stone-dappled creek.
TPC of Scottsdale, Desert Course (Scottsdale)
480-585-4334; tpc.com; $60. Little brother to the PGA
Tour's Stadium course next door, the Desert is much
shorter, with huge greens, but it has many of the same Tom
Weiskopf–Jay Morrish touches, and mountain views as
handsome as its brawnier sibling's.
Flo's Asian Kitchen (Asian): 480-609-9888. Innovative
cuisine, upscale locations and decor, yet easy on the
Fox Sports Grill (American): 480-368-0369. Putting green,
perfect Kierland-area location.
Garduño's (Mexican): 480-607-9222. Festive ambiance,
strolling mariachis, tasty margaritas and affordable
Casino Arizona: 480-850-7777, casinoaz.com. Las
Vegas–style gaming and entertainment at two
Jillian's: 480-538-8956, jillians.com. Billiards, bowling,

One of my Mantra's is Security, Security, Security!
Recent events have re-enforced the need to return to this very important subject related to IT and computer systems. There is no-one I know who does not have some form of security on his or her property. It does not matter whether they live in a 6-figure sum house or in rented accommodation. Measures may range from a single lock to a very sophisticated alarm and surveillance systems, but the point is they all have some form of security.
The same should be true of our computer systems. It does not matter if your system is connected with National Security or stands alone in your house, if it contains data that is sensitive to you, you should take steps to protect it.
In this article I will go through some of the steps that you can put into action to make sure that life for the would-be thief is made difficult.
Physical Steps
When it comes to the world of IT security, it is easy to overlook the obvious. When I was at school one of the 'catch you out' questions went like this:
"If red houses are made out of red bricks and yellow houses are made out of yellow bricks, what are green houses made of?"
The logical answer is of course green bricks but the correct answer is glass. The question is posed in such a way as to lead you down a certain way of thinking. When it comes to IT, for some reason we think of complex ways to set up security when some simple practical measures may be all thats needed.
Lock It Away
If you have a notebook make sure that you lock it away when not in use or away from your desk overnight. Although this may be inconvenient for desktops it is still an option. I know of at least one large bank that puts all its desktop pc's into a strong room at night. It may be tedious but very effective.
Bolt It Down
If your computer is a server then shutting it down and putting it away may not be an option. Then consider bolting it down. You can buy security cages that bolt to the floor and would take far too long for the opportune thief to cut through and steal.
Many proper servers come with a lockable front panel, which prevent the computer from being opened, and/or the drives removed. Why not make use of this simple deterrent?
Monitor Sensitive Systems
If you are a business, then for relatively little money it is easy to set up surveillance. All that you need is a security camera (costs start lower than 200 pounds) connected to a basic computer. These systems not only record events but can also send images to offsite computers or even send alerts to your mobile phone. You can log into the camera from remote sites using the Internet; this is particularly useful if the alarm system goes off and you want to check your premises immediately.
Other Options
Password Protect
You would be amazed at how many systems and sensitive documents have no password security. There are at least 4 important things about using passwords.
- Use strong passwords
A strong password has the following characteristics:
Mixture of upper/lower case letters
Includes numbers
Includes characters like @&%
At least 8 characters in length.
If your passwords do not contain the above, then your system may have the security equivalent of a rusty bolt with some of the screws loose!
Do not use one password for everything
- Change passwords regularly
Some Servers can be set to force regular password changes every month or whatever time scale you choose. The system can also force that a password cannot be re-used within so many cycles.
- Never use sensitive passwords on an unknown system
This is a no question policy of sound advice. Break it at your peril. You have been warned. To do so is like leaving a full set of labelled keys in a public place. There are a number of software products readily available on the market that keep a logging history of all keys pressed on a keyboard. Some even detect mouse click selections. If you have to use a password (maybe in a life or death situation) on an unknown system change your password as soon as you can from a known secure system.
- Write down your passwords!
Yes, I know many of you will have read that twice and wonder if I have lost the plot.The advice from any bank or agency is never write down your password anywhere. Actually I agree. You should never write down your password in a form anyone can recognise. But with so many passwords we need to remember, is it any wonder that people use the same password over and over again? What I do, is write down my password in an encrypted way that I can understand but no-one else would have any idea what the numbers mean. Most, if not all credit cards work with a 4-digit pin number. What you can do is write them down in the wrong order and add 1 or 2 more numbers in the same place each time or always add the same number more to the original numbers. Also, I never write down my passwords or PIN numbers alongside the source, e.g. I do not write down the name of the bank with number next to it. I devised a system for naming the bank account and the password. If someone found my list they would never know the significance of the information and more likely than not discard it.
Good Practices
One problem uniquely associated with IT theft is that the thief does not have to break into your property to gain access to your system or sensitive data. Thanks to the Internet the thief can be on the other side of the world, sitting drinking coffee while he is stealing from you.
All businesses should have a good firewall, full stop! Good routers come with built in firewalls of various quality. From behind these fire-walled routers, a would be thief gets no reply when he/she tries to 'ping' your IP address to find out if there is a computer at the other end. Don't worry about the technical terms, Firewalls simply make your computer invisible to the outside world.
Prohibit/prevent use of file transfer and chat programmes
If you are a business your router or third-party software can prohibit access to file transfer programmes commonly used to download music or chat programmes. These programmes can act as gateways through your firewall security.
Security Software
If you are a home or business user you should consider using one of the many third-party software commonly known as Internet Security Packages. I suggest one that marks websites that are safe to search.
Protecting Mobile Devices
Many businesses have personnel who use mobile devices that contain up to date data usually like emails, dairy and reminder events. Most of these devices synchronise with the main server in the office. These devices are easily prone to theft. What many users may not know is that they can be remotely wiped of any sensitive data no matter where the devise is in the world.
In protecting your property it is common to insure against fire, theft and accidental damage. No talk about security would be complete without mentioning backups, the equivalent of accidental damage. Here, I would just like to mention one method of backup that I am being asked about more and more these days – off site backup.
A lot of third-party groups are now offering offsite backups. Options are available for the home and business user. There are certainly some good points in favour of this option, but there are limitations that I would like to draw your attention to:
Should not be considered as the total answer
It is uncommon that one solution fits all needs. For example, what happens if your broadband connection goes down?
Costs money
Naturally, as a service that is being offered there is a cost involved. Vendors of these services charge on the basis of how much data is stored offsite. The costs range widely. As a believer in 'you get what you pay for' you need to investigate each offer carefully.
Data Transfer rates and amounts
You have to take into account how much data you need to back up. Remember that offsite backup times will depend on how fast your broadband connection is (if you do not have broadband this option is a non starter). Most systems work on the basis of the first backup moves all the files – which can take days – then only does incremental backups thereafter.
If your service provider contract limits the amount of data you can transfer you need to make sure you do not run into the problem of excess charges.
Generally, you can't beat doing a full backup and storing the tapes offsite yourself. I view this as a good option for small but very important files as a tool in the weapons' arsenal.

No Insurance Coverage or Self-pay
Many patients choose to pay for weight loss surgery themselves. In cooperation with Medical University of South Carolina, we offer special packages for cash patients, which include all usual services, at a significant discount. The actual rate varies, depending on the type of surgery chosen, and initial weight and health status.
- MUSC Physicians, the physician billing office requires payment 14 days before your surgery is performed. MUSC Physicians will take these credit cards: American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Payment by check will require a cashier's check.
- MUHA, Medical University Hospital Authority, requires payment of the estimated costs 14 days before surgery.
Learn more about why you receive two bills for your surgery, one from MUSC Physicians and one from the Medical University of South Carolina (Hospital Authority).
For self-pay patients, or patients with insurance that elect to self-pay due to lack of insurance coverage, you will be quoted a fee for your Gastric Bypass, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy or Gastric Band Placement surgery. Please note this fee ONLY covers routine services related to your surgery and is based upon usual and customary charges. The fee quoted for weight loss surgery includes your surgeon's fee, the anesthesiologist's fee, the radiologist's fee, and the hospital charges for the surgery only. The fee does NOT include:
- Pre-procedure office visits
- Post-procedure office visits
- Diagnostic testing
- Other professional services required as a result of a complication
- Other services provided unrelated to your gastric bypass
In other words, if the only surgery you require is the initial planned weight loss surgery, the fee quoted is all you will owe. If you require additional physician specialties to manage a complication, or if your surgeon finds other problems that need to be fixed, such as repair or removal of your gallbladder or a hernia, you will have additional charges from the physicians. You will be responsible for those additional professional fees. Your hospital bill for this admission will not change, regardless of your length of stay.
Introducing BLIS Insurance Coverage
MUSC's bariatric surgeons are BLIS surgeons. Becoming a BLIS surgeon is a very selective process and means that we meet very high standards of short term outcomes and long term patient success. As a result of our approval by BLIS, we are able to participate in an innovative new insurance coverage which allows us to make a commitment to our self-pay patients that, should a covered complication occur within certain time frames following surgery, our patients are not responsible for the costs associated with the care of that complication.
The complication protection is exclusively part of the package price you will pay for your weight loss surgery. We are happy to provide this benefit to our patients and ease your mind and your wallet in this important decision to have a life-saving surgery. Other terms and conditions apply; please contact our office and review the self-pay contract for further details about this program.
If you would like to become an advocate for change related to bariatric surgery benefits, please visit the Obesity Action Coalition to learn how you can help to affect healthcare policy and improve access to care for the treatment of obesity.
Non-surgical Programs at MUSC
The MUSC Weight Management Center offers a wide range of non-surgical and research programs for weight loss.

I have had a small but treasured collection of fuchsias for many years. Two years ago I planted 4 cultivars in the ground and they did very well. THIS year I now have fuchia gall mite and its bad. I pulled two plants up and dumped them in the trash today. I will probably treat the other s with insecticide (imcloprimid?) but I am concerned with the effect on hummers and bees, butterflies etc. So, I would like to replace the lost plants with mite-resistant ones. Does anyone know of mite resistant fuchias? |

Probiotics are 'friendly bacteria'….. & are an excellent choice to keep your digestion in good shape.
There are literally billions and billions of probiotics in your gut. Yes, these are health-promoting, good bacteria, also called friendly flora, that populate your intestinal tract. There is such a thing as good bacteria! These friendly bacteria or probiotics, form a protective barrier to keep bad bacteria out, and it results in a healthy intestinal tract. Now we know that they also support good immune system.
Its good to take probiotic supplements on a regular basis to make sure that the number of friendly or good bacteria in the gut outnumbers the bad bacteria in the ratio of 85% good to 15 % bad. When you take antibiotics or have an acute bout of diarrhea or constipation, probiotics work very well to counteract the effects of any disturbance in your digestive function.
The amount of probiotics, or friendly bacteria, in a formula is important as well as their survival rate. When the probiotic formulas are fermented, coated and/or freeze-dried, as are the ones that we sell, the maximum number of friendly probiotics are able to survive the passage throughout the digestive tract.
Choose from our select, top-of-the-line probiotic formulas that are recommended by our professional practitioners in their daily clinical practice. They only suggest friendly bacteria ie microbiota, that are safe & effective. Need help choosing which one? Please call us at 877-240-7528 PST 9-5 – we are happy to help you.

Today's post is by my husband G who did a great job making a beautiful, delicious, healthful (uh, yes, I think it is – at least relatively speaking!) birthday cake for me recently.
My wife's birthday always falls near – and sometimes on – Mother's Day. This often makes for a fun and enjoyable weekend as we celebrate both events, but it can also be kind of hectic as the boys and I shop for gifts and attempt to divvy them up appropriately and in secret.
Well, this year I vowed to get an early and efficient jump on things. The boys and I did our shopping, wrote our birthday and Mother's Day cards, wrapped our gifts, and were busy clapping each other on the back for our efforts when my wife suddenly asked the dreaded question:
"Are you making me a cake?"
A cake?!?!
I forgot the cake!
After hemming and hawing about whether she REALLY wanted a cake (lame, I know), and whether I had enough time to make one, she said "Just look at my website. You know I've posted cake recipes!"
My eyes quickly darted back and forth like a deer caught in the headlights. "Ummm…yeah! Duh! Of course I…hee-hee…of course I know that, Sweetie!"
She rolled her eyes, handed me my iPad, and said "Here. Get busy!"
And I have to admit it…it WAS easy. And it DID have avocado in the chocolate frosting. An avocado chocolate frosting. And it WAS delicious!
We've had this cake (Chocolate Paleo Snack Cake) before, but it's the first time I've actually made it myself. Now, I'm fairly competent in the kitchen so I wasn't wary of the task…but I was a tad skeptical when my wife told me that avocado was a primary ingredient in the frosting.
Isn't that for guacamole? I mean, I love guacamole but this is chocolate frosting! Well, what it all comes down to is trust, and I trust my wife. After all, she's like the Professor on Gilligan's Island – she can make ANYTHING with coconut! – so I had to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Not only is this frosting really tasty, but it doesn't taste anything like avocado! It tastes exactly how it's supposed to taste – like rich, creamy chocolate cake frosting. In fact, when you serve it to your friends don't tell them it's made with avocado until after they eat a piece! Just enjoy their surprised expressions.

Score from 2965 reviews
The room is very good with a very good bathroom. The hotel is located on 7th avenue between Times Square and Central Park so theres no better location I guess. I would def. stay there again.
The hotel does not offer room service for food. Another thing is that I could hear everything outside my door, like children crying and people yelling in the morning.
Location and a well presented hotel
Housekeeping services and the temperature control in the room
Beds were comfortable, rooms clean and nice. Especially friendly helpful staff
You did not have a restaurant in the hotel for breakfast or a breakfast buffet. Fortunately, local restaurant deliver quickly.
I liked the location and Park Central hotel fits in really well with the location. I loved spending time in the hotel as well as out in the area. I highly recommend this hotel if anyone loves being at the heart of the City centre.
There was nothing to dislike!
We had the best stay here the last 8 nights. From the second we arrived we fell in love. The hotel is in a prime location and is so nice inside. The room didn't disappoint either, very nice and large! Cannot rave about this hotel enough. Location - to your left when you exit the hotel you can see Central Park and to your right you can see Times Square! Just perfect.
Kept getting zapped and static off the elevators (not sure what was going on with that)
Great location and very comfortable hotel. Staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and accommodating.
Only negative was the compulsory facility fee of $27.21 for access to gym and use of Wi-Fi (therefore surprised there is an option to review the free Wi-Fi in this review). Didn't use gym and Wi-Fi worked well.
The room nice and modern, location near to the subway ( important with the horrible weather we experienced). Helpful staff.
No coffee machine in the room. We were told at checkout that we could have asked. Had to go out for breakfast (a problem in bad weather ). Air conditioner noisy . We were provided with a good heater .
Location Wifi Staff
The king size bed was small Hotel resturant was closed during our staying We had some problems with the heat on the room
I have stayed at Park Central many times before and since their refurbishment, the hotel is looking much better, fresh & new. Staying in NY hotels is expensive so difficult giving an answer if one is getting value for money. I am very comfortable at this hotel. The position suits me very well,the staff are helpful and the room is a good size with decent amenities
Wifi is not free. You pay $25 a day to get wifi and you are entitled to make local & domestic calls without being charged for each call. My room was one that inter leads into another and although locked,I. Did find that I could hear my neighbour. Having said that,I would still come back to stay
Easy access to subway, Central Park and Times square.
The rooms were a bit small.
the hotel was a 2 min walk to Central Park, a few mins to major stores and Broadway theatres...
3 occasions had to call maintainance as heating wouldn't come on with temperature outside at -8 centigrade
Newly renovated. Everything was clean and comfortable. Right in the middle of everything. Great resturaunts and show just around the corner.
Good location
Very noisy There was no minibar, no water in the room.
The reception on arrival was seamless, very courteous and helpfull. It was very elegant, the rooms were spacious and spotless, the beds were very comfortable and the faciliteis were top notch. I would reccomend to any traveler, perfect for everywhere, located minutes from Central Park, 5-10 minutes from Time Square and Broadway and 5 minute walk to 5th Ave.
Great location. Friendly staff.
Long wait for elevators. Taxes could be displayed on Booking page. Besides state and city taxes, there was also tax for use of facilities ($25/night - gym, printer, etc) that you had to pay whether you used them or not. At checkout, I was surprised to see the price raise to more than 23% of the one displayed on Booking.
The staff was friendly and helpful. I loved that there was a bag check because my flight was after checkout. And a cool bar area with couches and an outlet table to charge stuff. They have access to Macs that you can print out theatre tix in the lobby. They have someone to get you a cab out front. A great concierge made reservations for us and helped me find a cool place in Soho to dine. You are right in the middle of everything, so you can walk every and the subway is close too! Very clean and convenient.
There are a lot of people waiting around in the lobby, but it's NYC so I guess that is to be expected.
Loved the beds, the bath, the location..
The jackhammer outside on the street, elevators are too small, and too few... would have liked a frig, but no biggie
Location John at the bar (excellent cocktails!) Concierge desk was very helpful.
Dinner menu was very limited. Phone in our room didn't work. Charged credit card without authorisation. Average gym facilities. Very poor lighting in rooms.
Unfriendly staff.Only 2 lifts, long wait.Small,dark rooms.Paper thin walls.Tiny bathroom without any essentials.No mini bar,tea/coffee making facilities.No room service,no restaurant,no breakfast.Compulsory facilities fee for non existent facilities.
The 9 nights I spent at the hotel with my family were wonderful. Security was excellent, the location was excellent, the breakfast was wonderful. From the hotel, you could walk to Times Square, NYPD, Marcy's, K-Mart, Payless, Rockefellar Centre, etc. A minute walk from the hotel towards right or left will take you to the subway from where you could link other parts of the city by train such as the New York Central Park, Wall street, and the statue of Liberty. The New Year's eve was wonderful. From the hotel, you could watch the dropping of the famous ball at Times Square.
Their was no Continental Lunch or Dinner buffet for visitors from abroad

My wife can shoot full size .45 ACP pistols but likes the way the Springfield XD-.45 compact fits her hand! My question about this pistol is
(1) reliability
(2) recoil
(3) accuracy
My wife and I both practice point shooting and Spingfield Rep. stated that this gun was designed with this concept(point shooting).
Any shooters here that either own or shot this pistol and what opinions do you have about this gun which will be used on the range and for home defense! Many Thank-You's!

Blizzard is up to something: 'Soon we'll fly together again ...' {WoW}
Mar 6th 2012 3:54PM One of the best experiences I've ever had in WoW was this time when, while logged on my Horde toon, I helped a slightly lower-level Alliance character get through Shadow Hold. What made it so fun was that we could only communicate through emotes, but still managed to coordinate our actions quite well (admittedly, I was over leveled for the place, but not by too much).
So in a strange way, cross-faction can be more fun when the game's system works against it. Still, if that's what this means, it could be very interesting and might open up even more possibilities.
Night elf druids at the end of Cataclysm {WoW}
Jan 31st 2012 5:32PM I'm also wondering if we'll see the Cenarion Circle politically drift closer to Darnassus. I always got the feeling that they were a bit like two separate influence groups that both had interest in druidism.
Now that the Horde is burning through Ashenvale, it seems like the Cenarion Circle might be more sympathetic to the Alliance. Maybe this is getting off-topic, but are the tauren really okay with what the goblins did to Azshara and what the orcs are doing to Ashenvale? For that matter, how much do the trollish druids really like the Horde at this point?
Seems like a clever night elf druid could really turn this discontent to the Alliance's advantage. The Cenarion Circle will stay neutral, of course, but I can definitely see them being more sympathetic to the Alliance and maybe using its Horde membership to try and affect change. Also, with the Ancients (sort of) back, the Alliance can afford to be more aggressive.
Then again, Garrosh probably doesn't respond well to reasoned criticism...
Blizzard looking to hire "product placement" producer for next-gen MMO {WoW}
Jan 24th 2012 2:52PM I think the Egyptian brand called "Panda Cheese" might be perfect for the next expansion.
He'd make a great raid boss.
Around Azeroth: Burning down the house {WoW}
Jan 20th 2012 3:41PM Nice Aztec mythology reference.
Cataclysm Post-Mortem: Uldum, page 2 {WoW}
Dec 12th 2011 9:01PM WoW's always been pretty tongue-in-cheek, and that's definitely a good thing. That said, the Harrison Jones quests in Uldum went on for way too long, and pretty much ruined half of the zone.
This might have been less egregious if it were actually funny. A parody becomes such by offering a new insight or critique regarding the original work. What we saw in Uldum was not a parody; rather, it was just an extended reference that went on for far too long. It really is just an interactive machinima.
That said, Uldum is visually one of the most stunning zones in all of WoW. The art department really went above and beyond. Even though the zone left a bad taste in my mouth, I still occasionally visit it for the scenery. Its capacious deserts and elegant cities offer a welcome relief from the dark claustrophobia of Deepholme. Likewise, the Ramkahen storyline seemed interesting; it's just a shame we saw so little of it.
Regarding the racism, there's probably no universal line between what's acceptable and what isn't. That said, the pygmies definitely struck me as inappropriate, if only because pygmy itself is a term used for a variety of actual ethnic groups in central Africa (and is considered somewhat derogatory in and of itself). It's also hard to see sand pygmies (especially in this context) and not also think of a vile epithet used against Arabs. This may not have been intentional on Blizzard's part, however.
Breakfast Topic: Do you read or write WoW fanfic? {WoW}
Nov 7th 2011 5:25PM Despite writing fanfic, I haven't actually read very much of it. However, one that's quite good is "Fresh," by Meaghan O'Hara. The story is sometimes poignant and very well-written, and gives sort of a ground-eye view of events. You can find it here.
Breakfast Topic: Do you read or write WoW fanfic? {WoW}
Nov 7th 2011 1:21PM I wrote Travels through Azeroth and Outland back in the day. I always found it useful as a way to sort out my own thoughts on the setting (based on what I know about the real world). Fanfic can be a great way to sharpen up your writing ability, so long as you actually make an attempt to consistently improve. Too many fanfic writers, I think, just use it as wish fulfillment (which isn't necessarily bad... but is limiting and often maudlin).
Anyway, since then I've moved on to original fiction. Here's hoping I get something published in the near future.
Breakfast Topic: Who should play your character in the WoW movie? {WoW}
Oct 28th 2011 3:55AM I always imagined the Destron character looking a bit like Adrian Brody.
The Classifieds: Final day before the party {WoW}
Oct 20th 2011 1:33AM I'm planning to show up.
The Reader Meetup details you've been waiting for {WoW}

ONLY four years ago Portland mother of four Justine Cain was barely able to walk five kilometres.
In May she will attempt to run her first marathon when she tackles the picturesque but challenging Great Ocean Road Marathon.
The 42-year-old was seriously injured in a car accident 11 years ago, having to undergo a complete knee reconstruction and ongoing rehabilitation to rebuild the strength in her back and core.
As recently as three years ago she was told by those aiding her recovery that she would never be able to run again.
Surprisingly this was the spur that helped propel her to greater things.
"I probably only started being able to walk for about an hour about four years ago," Cain said.
"I had quite a lot wrong with me, and I had to wait until they had fixed one thing before they fixed the next one."
