Many think Paris Hilton's and Benji Madden's "relationship" was for Ashton Kutcher's show Pop Fiction. It might have started off like that, but the two are definitely an item now. Either that or they are taking their punking responsibilities very seriously.
Good Charlotte kicks off on their international tour next week and Paris is going to be front and center. "We're actually leaving in a couple days for South Africa, so I'll be with him," Hilton said.
So what do you guys think? What's going on with these two? If they are in fact dating, do you think Paris has finally found "the one?"

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2013 December 6 - 7 Golf Collectibles Catalog Auction featuring The Sam Snead Collection - Dallas.
1948 Masters Tournament Brass Ashtray Presented to Sam Snead. It's considered one of the rarest and most desirable Masters gifts in existence, issued only to the fifty-seven players competing in the twelfth edition of the fabled tournament at Augusta. Despite Snead's absence from the leader board this year, the engraved name of this legendary golfer at the lower edge clearly establishes this as the best of that endangered breed. The design incorporates the classic "Augusta National Golf Club" logo at top and provides the geography of the Azalea Hole, the thirteenth, at center. "Masters Tournament 1948" stands in raised lettering along lower edge. Verso bears the maker's mark of "Black, Starr & Gorham, Inc." Only here do we encounter the slightest instances of oxidation, leaving the front to present without noteworthy distraction. Dimensions approximately 7x8". Letter of provenance from Jack Snead.

Randi Russo
Fragile Animal
(Hidden Target Recordings)
US: 29 Mar 2011
UK: 29 Mar 2011
Randi Russo's third studio album, following Solar Bipolar (2002) and Shout Like a Lady (2006), covers a lot of ground: singer-songwriter introspection in "Get Me Over," thumping rock attitude in "Alienation," piano-driven balladry in "Invitation," swirling folk-psychedelia in "I Am Real." Throughout the record, Russo and producer Paul Megna seem to have approached each song with the self-conscious desire to do something sonically different from the previous track. For the most part, this adds up to an eclectic batch of lively tunes, with the aforementioned "Alienation" and the equally thrashy "Head High" as the standout tunes. Even when the tempos slow down, Russo's tough-but-vulnerable voice capably carries songs like "Swallow" and the epic closing track "Restless Raga." Looking for a new favorite no-nonsense female vocalist with a sweetly satisfying ear for pop songcraft? This might be her.

Our aim is to treat each student as an individual; to offer support that will allow each student to achieve their full potential.
Support for students in the Sixth Form at West Hatch High School is provided primarily by a dedicated and experienced Sixth Form Team. This Team, along with the Heads of House, play a central role in providing academic and pastoral support for students during a period of time when major decisions are made regarding their future progression, be that into Higher Education, Training or Employment.Read More
Through the House system we seek to further foster our sense of school community and student's sense of loyalty. There are increased opportunities, not only for leadership but also responsibility and competition. Students are in mixed age forms, four students from Years 7-13. Through this we hope to engender a real sense of accountability to each other as well as giving our students the skills to work successfully with people of all ages.Read More
During Form time, all students participate in a range of learning activities which are meticulously planned to meet their needs. At West Hatch we believe in developing the spiritual, moral, social and emotional aspects of our students as well as their academic achievement. Therefore through weekly PSHEC lessons, our students are given the opportunity to discuss a range of issues facing young people in today's society. Students also work on literacy and numeracy skills within Form time and regularly participate in mentoring activities.Read More
At the heart of our House system are the regular competitions which all students are afforded the opportunity to participate in and win points for their Form group and their House. Throughout the year every department runs a competition which are either for separate year groups or a combination of pupils from all years. Our Inter House competitions have brought a fresh dimension to the school and have developed a greater sense of community across the school.Read More
Our six Houses are based in specific areas of the school and each has been named after a famous British icon associated with that subject area. Below you can see the House points achieved by the students in each House to date.
We run a range of competitions throughout the year and across all subject areas, culminating in Sports Day at the end of the academic year. Below are the results of the latest House Competitions and you can click the specific competitions for more infromation and the winning entries.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Hotel Sezz
6, Avenue Frémiet, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 16th Arr. (Trocadéro)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Some cities are filled to the brim with chic and hyper-modern designer hotels, but Paris could always use another one. As such, Sezz Paris is a welcome addition to the landscape, the perfect antidote to the prevailing antique hotel trend. Here, in the 16th arrondissement (hence the name), Starck protégé Christophe Pillet has created a dramatic and stylish space, a hotel that would turn heads in Milan or Barcelona and looks all the more surprising in staid old Paris.
But first you have to find it; rather than sandwiched between designer shops and department stores, Sezz is tucked away down a quiet street in an upscale residential neighborhood, with not a shop or restaurant in sight. And the facade itself is absolutely classic, offering no hint of the fantasy inside.
Once through the doors, it's another world, one dressed not in the flashy whimsy of a Starck, but in Pillet's own original style, a black-and-red futuristic boudoir chic. There's no reception, but a free-floating team of personal assistants, who'll walk you through everything from check-in to scoring restaurant reservations. And in-room, it all feels a bit like the devil's own bachelor pad, with the freestanding bed occupying the center of the room atop a thick crimson rug. Bathrooms are impeccably designed, with oversized tubs easily large enough for two. And while the single room may be passing out of style, the singles at Sezz are possibly the best we've ever seen.
Public spaces include the first Veuve Clicquot champagne bar in Paris, certain to become one of the city's most in-demand nightspots, and a jacuzzi, hammam and massage room in the basement, for when that oversized soaking tub isn't doing the trick.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Guaranteed 4pm check-out
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival (a value of €16 per guest)
- Welcome box of chocolates (a value of €12)

- Stayed December 2009
- Rating: Fair
What I liked:
Originally booked the hotel based on 2 elements, the style; which lived up to expectations and the spa; which was closed throughout the stay.
What the hotel could do better:
The PA (concierge service) was below par for a 5 star hotel. The staff were not knowledgeable about local restaurants, and information, etc..
Taxi's were also an issue at the hotel.
- Joseph
- Stayed April 2009
- Rating: Excellent
What I liked:
The service was over-the-top. I really don't think it would be possible to over task the concierge service here - or, as they call themselves, your Personal Assistants - which really is accurate. They handled everything for us. Taxis, walking paths, restaurants, live DJ recommendations, spa requests, midnight bottles of champagne. In a word - Incredible. The rooms, while not large, felt large. I don't know if it was the right use of color or if it was the smart mix of cutting-edge with traditional styles, but the rooms just *felt* larger than they really were. That they happen to be beautiful is pure icing on the cake.
The breakfast was a sort of typical, but generous offering, with a very attentive waiter each morning and it was a joy to sit in the intimate breakfast room - that serves as the Veuve Clicquot bar by evening - each day. The room service was very efficient. We arrived by train late on a Friday, after a very bad day of travel, and didn't place our order until after certain items were unavailable and the chef was on his way home for the evening. Before we could decide on something else, he asked what we would like "if we could have had anything." He had it to us in no time. You just don't find service - no, you just don't find kindness and such decency, anywhere. Yeah - it's high end cool and it's definitely a cool, design-heavy atmosphere. But with such fantastic service and such decent, kind staff, we can't imagine going to Paris and staying anywhere else.
What the hotel could do better:
There was nothing to dislike about this hotel.
- Evgeny
- Stayed September 2008
- Rating: Good
What I liked:
Good location, great room design.
What the hotel could do better:
Safebox in the room was out of order and nobody during three days could repair it.

Right Now
By Van Halen
Listen to another song…
Right Now – I chose this motivational song because it talks about taking action today and not putting it off until tomorrow. Yesterday is gone. Whatever mistakes or failures you had, it's over. Today is a brand new day. What you do today, right now, will determine how you will live tomorrow.
Even if your life has been way below what you want it to be for the last year or 5 years or 50 years, it doesn't matter. You could turn it around. Don't waste another day thinking about what could have been. Use today to start making your dreams and goals happen. You can control the future by the choices you make today. When will you start? Right Now!

Dow hits record, erasing Great Recession losses
Just as Bernanke had hoped, American household wealth, or assets minus liabilities, has risen, though the gains haven't been shared equally.
In the recession, household wealth fell $18.9 trillion, or 28 percent, as the prices of assets like stocks and homes tumbled. But after bottoming in the first quarter of 2009 at $48.5 trillion, wealth rose $16 trillion through the third quarter of last year and was within striking distance of its peak of $67.4 trillion, according to the latest data from the Federal Reserve. Gains since then may have pushed wealth to a new high.
Middle-class households have not recovered as much as those numbers suggest because most of their wealth is tied up in their homes, and home values haven't bounced back like 401(k) accounts.
Homes accounted for two-thirds of middle-class assets before the recession, estimates economist Edward Wolff of New York University. By contrast, they accounted for one-third of assets of all U.S. households. Stocks were 7 percent of middle-class assets, less than half the percentage for all.
The rich have been the biggest winners of this bull market. Eighty percent of all stocks are held by the wealthiest 10 percent of households.
The question now: Can the stock rally continue? Here are four reasons it could:
- Plenty of cash: Companies have enough money to keep buying shares, which can push stocks up in the short term. Companies in the S&P 500 had more than $1 trillion in cash late last year, two-thirds more than in 2007.
- Low inflation and interest rates: Two factors that typically spell the end of a bull market seem a long way off. Inflation has been 1.6 percent the past 12 months, below the Fed's 2 percent target. Interest rates are near record lows; the short-term rate the Fed controls is being kept between zero and 0.25 percent. The Fed has said it plans to keep the rate where it is until unemployment falls below 6.5 percent, or 1.4 points lower than it is today. Even when the Fed starts raising the rate, it could be years before it gets high enough to hurt the economy and stocks.
Four of the five previous bull markets since 1970 ended as investors got spooked by a recession, or the anticipation of one, and sold stocks. And what causes recessions? In three of the past five, it was the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates to slow inflation.
- Economic expansion: The economic expansion that began 44 months ago in June 2009 is still relatively young. The previous three expansions lasted 73, 120 and 92 months. And this one may finally be getting traction: Sales of new homes in January hit the highest rate in 4 1/2 years. Home prices in January were up nearly 10 percent nationwide from a year earlier. And sales of autos, the second-biggest consumer purchase, reached a five-year high.
Most important, hiring is picking up. Employers added an average 200,000 jobs each month from November-January, compared with 150,000 in each of the prior three months. More jobs means more money for people to spend, and consumer spending drives 70 percent of economic activity.

Watch Steve's TV Show!
"Laughs" airs on Fox and MyNetwork. Watch it!
Balls II
By Steve Hofstetter
Poetry is feeling
It's life, it's about life
It's not about stanzas or line length or suggestive phrases
It's about us
And where we stand
The lines can be long or short
It doesn't matter
You can't look at a poem and say "this line was unnecessary"
Poems show aspirations, they show dreams and heart
They aren't some interpretive bull about man's struggle in life
They're about truth
They're about love
They're about anything and everything that the poet wants
They can write comments
And suggestions
And guidelines about how I should feel
But they can't make me conform
For I am the poet

Lovely and serene
Above and Beyond
Great Location and Beautiful House
There were two couples that stayed here which worked out great as the bedrooms are on separate ends of the house with two separate bathrooms. The master is a large beautiful bedroom with the second a bit smaller but no worries as you don't do much but sleep there anyway.
The gardens and balconies are amazing. Very relaxing and secluded area to enjoy each others company. We were able to cook all meals at the location which gave us more time to enjoy.
The house is situated near all of the parks, beaches, and attractions in Big Sur. Very easy drive to anywhere you wanted to go.
I highly recommend the house and enjoyed the peace and quite it gave us.
A very private retreat
Pros: A very private one in a wooded setting. Wonderful outdoor living areas. Within a mile of one of the nicest Big Sur beaches. Large master suite and very nice soaking tub. Very nice owner who made renting easy with a property caretaker to answer questions locally.
Cons: very steep, single-lane driveway is a little scary although only two houses on it and only one encounter with another vehicle over 4 days. Kitchen pots and pans are old and few in number. Utensils (serving spoons, spatulas, scrapers, peelers) are very limited. Serious cooks should bring their own, or eat out. Cool evenings would have welcomed a few warmer blankets for beds. Entering the house through the master bath is inconvenient and awkward. There is a front door but it has been screwed shut. There are no accessible trash/recycle cans. With 4 adults needed to empty bins before end of stay. Caretaker took away but no where to put dog poop. Not a huge deal, just annoying
All in all, a restful, quiet stay.
Great home away
The house was clean and ready upon arrival
The location, quality, and outside living areas.
The close proximity to one of the nicest beaches in Big Sur.
The house is centrally located to all the amenities one might need during your stay.
Lots of personal touches lend warmth and a homey feel.
The large master bedroom.
The front door entering thru the master bath is weird and detracts from the livability.
The kitchen lacks some basic utensils (serving spoons, rubber scrapers, etc) and the pots and pans are few in number and largely old and worn. If you plan on really cooking, I would suggest bringing what you need.
We couldn't find garbage or recycle cans outside. With four adults living in the house we generated garbage and recycling and had no where to put it. We had to call the property caretaker to come get it as leaving it outside in the woods did not seem wise.
The house could use several more blankets for the beds as the ones provided are thin and light.

An antique Elephant match striker which will second as a wonderful bronzed paperweight for it is quite heavy and flat on the back surface. The piece was cast in a heavy silver metal, seems to lightweight for spelter. A bronzed finished added. The Elephant's head, trunk and tusks are raised high as if he is bellowing. The grass beneath his feet continues beneath making for the rough texture for the wood match striker from days gone by.
The bronzed finish is polished where the piece was held when used, a bit lighter and brighter on the front, back and striker area, appropriate for age. Note the file or sanding marks on back worn smooth from touch.
The back has a flat plate covering a somewhat hollow center. There are no markings or hallmarks.
Size: From trunk to grass, 2-3/4". Width from ear to ear is 2".
Weight: Feels very heavy for its small size, weighs 6 oz.
Condition: Excellent! There are a couple pin sized spots on base where worn through the bronze finish to silver metal beneath.

Harness and Tether Recommendations?

Re: Harness and Tether Recommendations?
This is just random input.
I use 1" tubular webbing, (like many!). My starboard and port jacklines run from the stem fitting back, inboard of the shrouds, to the top-front of the cockpit-combing on each side (As it would happen, the P.O. had mounted T-tracks there, for racing). Using track sliders, they make great termination points. Also you can really tension the jacklines by adjusting the sliders back.
On my size boat (C27), using a 4'-5' tether ,I can clip into ether jackline and have full run from stem to rudder post.
All that works great!
But, because I have read that a lone sailor, (that's me, most of the time) being dragged along beside or behind the boat, can have a real problem (read: imposable) reboarding, I still feel less than secure!
Any thoughts here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Joel H.

Digos City police provide protection to local journalists
More News from Orlando B. Dinoy
DIGOS CITY, Philippines – The city police office has provided security to broadcasters at a radio station here following an attempt by two gunmen to enter the station's compound on Friday.
Superintendent Allan Manibog, city police chief, said he ordered the tightening of security for announcers of MUEWS Radio and other journalists in the city after the foiled entry of the "unidentified" gunmen.
Based on police investigation, the two men, armed with handguns, arrived at the MUEWS station on Lim Street – some five meters away from the headquarters of the police's Criminal Detection and Investigation Group – on a motorcycle and tried to enter the station.
Abdul Rakman Jamad, one of MUEWS Radio's anchormen, told the police he noticed the armed men as they were entering the station and immediately informed the security guard about them.
Jamad said the guard on duty – whom he did not identify – immediately readied his 12-gauge shotgun for firing and asked the men what their purpose was.
He said the men did not respond and immediately left the station's premises instead.
Jing Panogadia, a MUEWS reporter, said the armed men had obvious ill-motive as they were previously seen in the company of a Davao del Sur mayor, who was being heavily criticized by the station's anchormen for alleged irregularities.
Panogadia said the fact that the two men were armed proved they did not come to the station in good faith.
Jun Blanco, a MUEWS commentator, said days prior to the arrival of the two men, he and some of his colleagues had already been receiving death threats from unknown quarters through SMS.
Manibog said an "in depth" investigation of the incident has started to determine the identity of the two men and their purpose in coming to the station with firearms.
He also said that aside from those working with MUEWS Radio, the police have also taken steps to ensure the safety of other journalists in the province.
Many journalists in Davao del Sur were known to work for rival politicians and host blocktime programs in such stations as MUEWS Radio.

tragedy is a form of drama. The fact that it is a tragedy has nothing to do with the fact that it is a love story. Many love stories are ALSO tragedies.

It was more focused on the feud and reaching their deaths than anything else. Their "relationship" wasn't even very developed. It was just: suddenly they're in love and just have to see each other. There has to be more to a love story than that.

US stocks bounce back after two-day decline
Friday - 2/22/2013, 9:47am EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. stocks are opening higher after two days of declines.
Dow Jones industrial average is up 61.6 points to 13,942.20. The Standard & Poor's 500 gained 7.6 points to 1,510. The Nasdaq is up 19.2 points to 3,150.7.
There are no economic indicators and few corporate earnings reports due Friday.
Markets are bouncing back after being spooked by an apparent split among officials with the U.S. Federal Reserve over whether to push forward with economic stimulus programs, or to begin weaning the nation off of them.
Many investors also sensed that the Dow, which is getting close to an all-time high, had gotten ahead of itself.
The Dow is up 6 percent this year, the S&P 500 is up more than 5 percent, and the Nasdaq is up 3.7 percent.

One outstanding honoree will be presented with the Carmen Sarro Community Service Award, named for the charter member of Zonta who personified the ultimate community volunteer before she passed away some years ago.
"We are excited to honor a diverse group of extremely qualified women at this year's event," said event co-chair Donna Schmidt. "Even though we can only choose one to receive the Carmen Sarro Award for outstanding service in our community, we do honor every nominee at the event. There are 20 organizations from our community represented, and we will be sharing information about each of them in our program."
In addition, keynote speaker Pina De Rosa will offer tips to help local women live up to their fullest potential. De Rosa is an educator, life coach and author of "Living With Grace and Passion." The CD series is designed for busy women worldwide who are the next generation of feminine, powerful leaders.
This year's honorees and their nominating organizations include Christine Miller, Daughers of the British Empire; Maria Gutzeit, SCV Committee on Aging; Doreen Hawbecker, Betty Ferguson Foundation; Debbie Marquez, Pet Assistance Foundation; Lisa Kaminsky, Michael Hoefflin Foundation; and Hannah Langley, Boys & Girls Club of SCV.
Also Dawn Abasta-Hovhannisyan, Single Mothers Outreach; Linda Cormack, Circle of Hope; Ellie Laks, The Gentle Barn; Deborah Estes, Family Child Care Association of Santa Clarita; Jackie Hartmann, Special Olympics; Jeri Seratti Goldman, Providence Holy Cross Foundation; and Donna Kreutz, Soroptimist of Santa Clarita Valley.
Also DaAnne Smith, Single Mothers Outreach; Jean Albrent, Domestic Violence Center of the SCV; Jackie Hamby, Assistance League of Santa Clarita; Michelle Witkin, Ph.D., Child & Family Center Foundation; and Dora Zavala, Soroptimist International of Greater Santa Clarita Valley.
Several organizations nominated teams of women who work together in community service. Santa Clarita Valley YMCA nominated the team of Peggy Gelpi and Wendy Downs. Gerri McCorkle, Jan Fear and Corinn Miklosovic were nominated at a team by the G.R.A.N.D.S. (Giving Respect and Nurturing to Deserving Seniors.
Several Zonta members have been nominated by outside organizations for their service to the community outside of their Zonta activities. Club members will be saluted along with the other nominees but are not eligible to receive the Carmen Sarro Award. The award will be presented by Zontian Christine Sexton, Sarro's daughter.
Zonta is expecting close to 200 guests at Saturday's brunch, including friends and supporters of the nominees. This is the 26th year Zonta has been saluting outstanding local women with this program.
"It looks like we will have one of the largest turnouts ever for the Women in Service Celebration," said event co-chair Chris Miller. "Guests will have an opportunity to find out about service organizations in the Santa Clarita Valley, and meet some of the people who make such a difference in our area."

1. What is the difference between malware, viruses, and trojans?
A virus is a self-replicating, self-propagating, malicious piece of software designed to destroy files and folders on a computer system. A trojan is a piece of software which pretends to be legitimate and useful but does in fact install other software (unbeknownst to you) which opens up a "back door" to your computer. This back door allows a hacker to have access to your files and theoretically your entire computer system. A computer infected by a trojan typically becomes part of a botnet. Malware is just a generic term to cover both types of threat.
2. What is phishing?
Phishing is the term given primarily to email which is designed to fool you into believing it's legitimate so that you will follow links to their websites and enter private information. The websites are typically made to look like those of banks and prompt you to provide personal information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers etc. Legitimate emails from a bank or financial institution will almost never ask you to click links to their website; they will usually use words like "go to our website and log in". They can be very convincing at times, especially if you actually do have an account with the company being spoofed. Don't be fooled. If in doubt, call them using a phone number you already hold on file and know is correct.
3. What is the best way to update ClamXav when a new version is available?
The best way is simply to launch ClamXav, go to the ClamXav menu and select "Check for ClamXav updates...". That's it. Everything else is taken care of automatically.
4. What if that doesn't work?
Download the new version from the Downloads page. Then, if you use ClamXav Sentry, you must quit it before attempting to replace the ClamXav app. Do this by going to the Sentry menu in your menu bar () and selecting "Quit". If you don't quit it, the update process will fail and you may or may not get an unhelpful error message.
5. The scan summary at the end of each scan tells me there are "Known viruses: 857101". Are these viruses on my machine and how do I dispose of them?
No, these are not infected files on your computer. That number only tells you how many infections the underlying ClamAV scanning engine knows to look for.
6. I've seen this in the update log. What does it mean and should I worry about it?
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED - please update immediately!
WARNING: Current functionality level = xxx, required = yyy
This happens when the folks who develop the ClamAV scanning engine release a more up-to-date version. If you start seeing this, it's a safe bet that there'll be a new version of ClamXav on its way soon. I suggest you use the built-in update check feature of ClamXav to keep on top of new versions of both ClamXav and the scanning engine backend.
7. How can I scan my entire hard drive?
Click the + button in ClamXav's main window and add it to your source list. Then just scan it as if it were any other file or folder.
This question is no longer relevant...but I have to keep it here so any links people have made to the rest of the FAQs continue to work!
9. Will ClamXav cause conflicts with other antivirus scanners?
No conflicts have as yet been reported, however, having two different scanners checking the same files/folders is a recipe for disaster if one or other of them is set to move infected files into quarantine. If neither is set to move files about, then I don't see there being a problem. That said, I do not possess a copy of any virus checker other than ClamXav so I can't really comment on this from experience. If you're worried about it, you should ask in the forums to see if anyone else has succeeded in running more than one scanner at once.
10. Should I get rid of my other virus scanner and just use ClamXav from now on?
Have you paid good money for it? If so, and you have no pressing reason to dump your other scanner, then I would honestly have to say "no". You've paid, so you may as well get your money's worth from it! I can not offer anywhere near the same level of user support as the bigger companies. In fact, this is one of the primary reasons why I'm not charging for ClamXav.
11. Are there any known conflicts with ClamXav or ClamXav Sentry?
ClamXav Sentry will not work if you have Unsanity's WindowShadeX installed. You will need to add ClamXav Sentry to the list of excluded applications in the Application Enhancer's excluded apps list.
12. Can Mac viruses which pre-date OS X infect Mac OS X in any way?
Not directly, no. Mac OS X is unlike any Mac operating system which went before it, and as such, all programs (and that includes viruses) need to be rewritten to a certain extent before they will function. As yet, this hasn't happened for any old world Mac viruses. On the other hand, if you are using OS X 10.4 and run OS 9 software inside the classic environment, then you do need to consider older viruses as they can still infect OS 9 applications/documents.
13. Must I use your bundled version of the ClamAV engine?
No, absolutely not. ClamXav should work with any recent version of ClamAV - it works with distributions from Fink and Darwinports and of course, the official source from clamav.net.
14. I think this file is malicious but ClamAV didn't find any malware. How can I be sure?
Please submit the file to VirusTotal where the file will be scanned against 30+ AV scanners.
15. Where can I submit files which are definitely malware but are undetected by ClamXav?
If you think a file should be detected but isn't, you should send it directly to ClamAV database maintainers using this form. You can also upload the file to VirusTotal and the ClamAV maintainers should receive the sample as well as the other AV vendors listed.
16. When ClamXav Sentry is watching a folder, it doesn't scan changes to the contents of folders therein a.k.a nested folders or recursively. Why?
In ClamXav's preferences, switch to the Sentry panel and make sure there is a tick in the checkbox for "Subfolders".
17. The file downloaded from here is corrupt or invalid and will not mount. What do I do?
For whatever reason, your computer has failed to download the entire file. Try it again from the downloads page using either the main link again or try one of the mirrors. For good measure, you may also want to try using a different browser.
18. ClamXav has identified a virus in my Word documents. What can I do about it?
One way to remove the infection is to delete the infected file but this may be unacceptable and may in fact not solve the problem.
What you want to do is quit ALL office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage etc) and delete Word's "Normal" file which you'll find inside your Home Folder/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Normal. Empty the trash. Open Word and go to the Word menu -> Preferences -> Security and put a tick in the box under "Macro Security". Open each of your Word/infected documents and click Disable Macros when the warning comes up. Then copy and paste the contents into a new document and delete the original.
19. Whilst browsing the web, ClamXav Sentry alerted me to a virus in my browser's cache. Why?
You've probably set ClamXav Sentry to watch your browser's cache and it must have found a scam site there. This means you may have visited a scam/phishing website recently! These sites usually look exactly like banks or PayPal, but end up stealing your personal information. If you get this warning, make absolutely sure the website address is the one you expect eg. if you're wanting PayPal but the address bar says paypall.com (with two Ls or something equally subtle), close the window asap. If you've already given your name/password then I suggest you change it immediately. Please note: ClamXav is not designed to watch which websites you connect to; the absence of a warning does not necessarily indicate a safe website.
20. Sentry will not launch at startup/login. Why?
Quit ClamXav. Go to System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items and remove ClamXav Sentry from the list. Go back into ClamXav's preferences and set the "Launch at Login" preference again.
21. I have scanned my Mac and it found 1743 errors. What are these errors and how can I fix them?
These "errors" are not actually errors but are usually files you don't have read access to. They may belong to another user or to the System. Either way they probably aren't anything to be concerned about.
22. ClamXav has identified a virus in my email. How can I find and remove it?
Please see this thread on the support forums.
23. How do I uninstall ClamXav completely?
First thing to do is quit ClamXav Sentry (if you use it) and make sure it's not set to launch at log in. You will then need to find the ClamXav disk image which you downloaded when you installed ClamXav (or download the current one again) as you will find an uninstaller application on that disk.
The uninstaller will remove the engine and any schedules you've got set up. All that's left is to drag ClamXav.app to the trash.

The Bodyguard (1992)
129 mins
Costner finds Love in Houston
Alexander Graham Bell to see Miss Marron - Frank
For everything which is wrong with it and yes there is plenty, I do like "The Bodyguard" but I do wonder how differently it could have been. You see "The Bodyguard" was thought up in the 1970s and at the time it was going to be Steve McQueen and Diana Ross as the stars, it never happened nor did it happen when Ryan O'Neal who at one point was also lined up to star opposite Ross. In fact it wasn't until 15 years after Lawrence Kasdan wrote the story did it eventually get made and we got the cheesy but popular Costner and Houston romantic drama. To be honest it's a good storyline, a little bit far fetched in places, weak in other but between the drama, romance and the singing strangely works.
When pop diva Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston - The Preacher's Wife) receives a series of threatening letters her manager Devaney (Bill Cobbs - New Jack City) persuades top bodyguard Frank Farmer (Kevin Costner - JFK) to come and be her personal protection. But Frank's no messing attitude upsets plenty of people including Rachel who does not like his changing of her comfortable set up. But when she realises not only how serious things are and how good Frank is she not only accepts him being there but falls for him in turn he falls for her. But being romantically involved with the person he is hired to protect complicates issues especially for Frank who prides himself on his professionalism.
For the most part "The Bodyguard" is very obvious from Frank not wanting to take a job of protecting a celebrity through to the antagonistic relationship and romance it is all very obvious. But whilst obvious it is entertaining as we watch Frank whip Rachel's security into shape whilst rubbing up her team of lackeys the wrong way. You know he is going to come to blows with her agent and her existing security man but when it arrives it's entertaining even if the heroic aspect of Frank borders on the cheesy. You just have to watch the scene where he deals with her heavy Tony to realise how cheesy it all is. And likewise you know that whilst Frank and Rachel initially don't get on they will end up becoming involved and to be honest director Mick Jackson does nothing to disguise its obviousness.
But whilst all of this is obvious when it comes to the actual thriller side of things, and yes "The Bodyguard" has a sort of thriller aspect, it's not completely obvious. It sort of toys with you as we are well aware of who is behind the dodgy phone calls and letters yet it serves up a twist just when you think you know how it's going to play out. Part of the twist is good but then there is part of it which isn't and of course this leads to an expected final act of heroism from Frank as he tackles the person who is threatening Rachel. It's all very over the top, unbelievable and cheesy but by the time it arrives you are so sucked into the story that you don't give a damn you just want heroics and drama and that is what it serves.
Of course a big part of why "The Bodyguard" works is because it has a knockout soundtrack and even if "I Will Always Love You" has become one of those songs which border on the painful thanks to so many people trying to sing it, in the movie it works. It's not a surprise really as Whitney Houston of the early 90s was a great pop singer and what she could deliver as a pop star certainly comes across in the movie. To be honest Houston is playing a variation on herself, embellishing aspects of her own personality and so in some ways it does feel like a bit of a rough performance but then it strangely works because it's not honed to perfection. As such whilst we may be introduced to Rachel as a spoilt Diva the warmth of the person behind the facade is present as well.
Aside from Houston there is of course Kevin Costner who seems to be trying to give us some Steve McQueen with a haircut which to be frank looks wrong. But aside from the haircut Costner does a nice job of playing bodyguard Frank Farmer, he may be at times a bit cavalier and comical but he is also heroic which is what you want. There are times when Costner over plays the character and it becomes forced and cheesy but there is something about him, maybe the underlying kindness of the character which makes him likeable.
"The Bodyguard" is mainly about Houston and Costner but the rest of the cast add to the enjoyment from Mike Starr as cliche heavy Tony through to Gary Kemp who is almost caricature like as Rachel's promoter Sy Spector. Elsewhere both Bill Cobbs and Ralph Waite add some senior style nicety and Christopher Birt is fun as cocky limo driver Henry even if the character is a walking cliche.
What this all boils down to is that technically "The Bodyguard" is nothing more than average and veers towards being an incredibly cheesy romantic drama. But ironically for all which is wrong it still is entertaining almost a guilty pleasure because of how cheesy it is.

Rose Leads $1.1 Million Walmart Open on Beaver Lake
Hawk leads field of Co-Anglers
"On Beaver Lake, it's all about getting in a comfort zone and then being able to go fishing," said Rose, who has won more than
"I caught a little limit of spots and then went flipping and was fortunate to catch my big fish on a Strike King Rodent in a bush," Rose added. "The fish got me hung up, but I was able to get it out."
Rose said he caught one of his larger fish in water he called "very clear." He added the water he fished Thursday had little to no color at all. According to reports from many anglers, Beaver Lake has returned to its traditional clear state after heavy rains for an extended period of time in the area. During the 2008 Walmart Open, Beaver Lake was uncharacteristically muddy, and most fisherman caught fish using power fishing techniques.
"I got a few key bites that really helped me, but you never really know with fish," Rose said. "I've got an area that has some keepers, but as far as getting those kicker fish that you need to get you over the hump on Beaver Lake two days in a row … that's really hard on Beaver Lake. I've kind of clued in to what's going on. It's just a matter of getting the right bites."
Rose said his strategy won't change for the second day of competition. He said he would like to repeat his Day 1 performance and perhaps even eclipse the 13-pound mark.
"I'm not going to do anything different," Rose said. "I've got an area I started in today that nobody tried to come in on. Hopefully I'll get there in the morning and try to catch a limit and go from there."
