I have two of these rugs (8' x 10' and 9' x 12') purchased three years ago, and they were gorgeous when they arrived. Unfortunately, after only two years, the 8' x 10' developed a 1" x 1/4" wide bare spot in the corner from my Neato vacuum traveling over the edge. The vacuum has soft nylon blades and no brushes, so I was very surprised to see that it made a hole in the rug. I would think that a regular vacuum would have been much more punishing than the Neato. The rug was lovely when new, and the colors are vibrant and striking. But, in my experience, the rug is not durable.

This rug is an incredible buy. With coupons and sale, I got a 6' x 9' for a under $200. I was worried that I wouldn't like it, but it looks and feels great (with non-slip pad underneath). The design is very contemporary and modern but subtle enough that it doesn't dominate the room. I love it.

The rug is just as expected and fits my room perfect. I have cranberry accents with beige and brown furniture. The quality is better than I thought it would be as the price beat anything I could find online or locally. It has a soft feel underfoot, I just love it!!! (I purchased the 9' X 12' carpet.)

Beautiful colors, just the right size for my small living room (9' x 12'). This is an inexpensive rug for its size; after a couple of weeks, the rug has not yet completely "settled", still a few creases from being rolled up during storage and shipping. But I expect that to improve. It looks great!

Bought this to go under an 9' X 12' rug that I bought to keep it from sliding. It arrived very quickly and was almost a perfect fit. Had to trim it a little but that seems normal. It keeps the rug from sliding which is why I bought it. Price and shipping were good.

"This is the only league I haven't had success in," he said, "so I felt coming back, I had something to prove."
Just about a month into the season, he seems to have made his point.
The Royals' No. 2 prospect homered for the fourth time in his past five games and extended his hitting streak to 14 straight Monday as the Naturals defeated the Tulsa Drillers, 6-2.
Myers collected a single in addition to his longball, raising his average to .339. He has recorded at least one hit in 27 of 28 games this year and ranks second in the Texas League with 10 home runs.
"I'm taking advantage of good pitches left over the plate," he said. "I do have a few strikeouts in those game -- pitchers are making good pitches -- but I've been able to take advantage of some pitches. I'm just staying with my approach and getting lucky, I guess. I'm having a good start so far and am trying to keep it up."
Myers struck out and grounded into a double play in his first two at-bats against Drillers starter Joe Gardner. He adjusted after those two plate appearances, however and in the fifth, he took the first pitch he saw from Gardner over the left-field wall for a solo home run.
"[Gardner] is a good sinker/slider guy," Myers said. "He pounded me inside in my first two at-bats -- struck me out in the first one and jammed me in the second one. I shortened up my stance, and when I do that, I have more leverage inside. I got something low and in and I was able to hit it."
Myers added a bloop single in the sixth before striking out in his final at-bat in the eighth.
A third-round selection in 2009, Myers batted .254 with eight home runs in 99 games for the Naturals last season. The 21-year-old outfielder has already passed his home run total from last year, and he is more than halfway (79) to his total bases (139).
"The biggest difference for me is confidence," Myers said. "I'm going up there with a lot of confidence knowing I'm going to get a hit. Even though I'm not [going to get a hit every time], I just think that every at-bat."
Myers said the knee injury that kept him out for nearly a month in 2011 might have hindered him a bit at the plate. Though he changed positions from catcher to outfield as well, he said that was not an issue.
"I got off to a slow start, got hot and then got hurt," he said. "It was the first time I've missed baseball [games] in my life. The position change didn't really have anything to do with it. They were confidence issues. I could never get anything going at the plate -- I was in the cage and couldn't get anything going for me."
Though Myers has put up some of the best numbers in the Texas League this year, he said he is not worried about a promotion to Triple-A.
"My first year, I was kind of bummed out to go to Low-A for some reason," Myers said. "I don't know why I thought I was good enough to go to High-A. I told myself, 'Have a good 100 at-bats and you'll be out of here in no time.' And I really struggled. I really learned from that, just trying to have good at-bats every day and play hard and have fun. I'm in no rush to get out of here. It's a great setup."

The members of the La Casa auxiliary perused an elaborate silent auction to raise money for Orangewood Children's Foundation, an organization providing prevention and intervention programs for abused and neglected children.
"It's a very good cause supporting women and children," supporter Ellen
Goodwin said. "That's why we're all here."
The major tree display – adorned with gold ornaments, a glitter Santa and a wreath – was designed by Pat Rivera and Betty
Whitacre of Huntington Beach. The two happily posed for photographs in front of admirers. "Isn't this beautiful?" ladies murmured to each other.
There were trees embellished with cookie cutters, trees with a variety of gift cards on each branch and trees themed with Victorian details. And there were special touches. Holiday teddy bears were the centerpieces on the tables, Cross pens to check off those items on a gift list were presents at each setting and the group of Santas walking around the reception room were married to women on the committee.
"This just gets you in the Christmas spirit," said La Casa president Sally Keller.
But the special guests were four generations of supporters. Doris Maxwell, 95, a founding member of the La Casa Christmas Tree Wonderland, attended the first event in 1958. Her daughter, Marla (Maxwell) Blauman, arrived with her son, Paul Barrera, his wife and two daughters. The party of six caught up with fellow attendees, gave hugs and complimented others' festive wear.
The great-grandmother smiled and said, "See you at the next one!"

Electric Airsoft Rifles use batteries as their power source and they shoot very fast. Some Electric Airsoft Rifles come with semi-automatic fire. That means that when you pull the trigger only 1 BB will come out at a time. Other Electric Airsoft Rifles come with full-automatic fire. This means that when you pull the trigger multiple BBs will come out at a time. The longer you hold the trigger down the more BBs come out. Check the description above to see which kind of gun this is and if it is right for you. Electric Airsoft Rifles don't require any pumping or cocking, just simply point and shoot. This is a High End Electric Airsoft Gun. Please only use .20 gram high quality BBs with this item in order to keep it in proper working order. Using anything else as ammunition for this gun will void the warranty and may cause it to jam. Also, to keep your Electric Airsoft Gun working properly, do not fire the gun when there are no BBs in it as it may cause damage to your gun. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase this Airsoft gun.

Utah Jazz: Karl Malone to help coach Jazz big men
Jeffrey D. Allred, Jefffrey D. Allred
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz just saw one longtime member of the family leave, but they're welcoming an even bigger one back into the fold.
Jeff Hornacek is out.
Karl Malone is in.
In a surprise, The Mailman announced that he's accepted a part-time job to help coach the Jazz big men.
"We as a Jazz organization have got a great stable of big guys," the Hall of Fame power forward said Wednesday on the team's radio station during an interview with CEO Greg Miller. "I'm excited."
"I think your involvement with our bigs," Miller replied, "is going to help us win more ball games."
It's also made at least one of the Jazz bigs a happy young man.
Jazz power forward Derrick Favors' desire to improve was one of the impetuses leading to Malone landing a role he's lobbied for in the past. Favors, who turns 22 in July, reached out to management in hopes of receiving personal tutoring from The Mailman this offseason.
"You can't find too many better people to work with your bigs," Favors' agent, Wallace Prather, said. "I think it's great for everybody involved — from Derrick, to Enes (Kanter), to Jeremy (Evans) to whoever else finds their way into the organization."
It is unknown how much time Malone will spend as a coach on Tyrone Corbin's staff, but while being interviewed on the side of the road with his hazard lights blinking "down in the country of Louisiana," The Mailman expressed excitement and a serious commitment. Malone used words like proud, happy and honored to describe his feelings about working with the Jazz again for the first time since he left Utah to join the Lakers in 2003.
"I think it's going to be a lot of fun," Malone said during the 1280 The Zone interview. "I know a lot of people are going to have a lot of questions about how much time it's going to take, but I think we'll all have a lot fun with it. I'll be looking forward — time and schedule permitting — to working with the big guys."
As for the details, Malone said there aren't any specifics just yet. He travels to Utah a couple of times a month and hopes to work with the post players during those periods this summer.
"We haven't discussed nothing other than that I'll be coaching the bigs," Malone said.
Miller said the Jazz and Malone are in somewhat of an experimental mode, which is similar to Hornacek's previous role from 2007-11 as the team's shooting coach. Neither party is sure if this could lead to a more permanent position on the bench.
"Right now, our agreement is he's going to come in on a periodic basis and help our guys," Miller said. "If it develops into more than that, it could be a good thing."
Malone has already had a one-on-one workout with Favors. He's also met with Kanter, who continues to rehab from his April shoulder surgery and won't be able to go 100 percent until later this summer. Malone said he has and will keep in close contact with Corbin to shape the sessions and strategy.
"It is great to have Karl as a resource for the team," Corbin said in a statement. "He is one of the most talented big men to have ever played this game."
Malone, an original Dream Teamer, is the NBA's all-time second-leading scorer and a two-time MVP during his Jazz career. He was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2010, joining teammate John Stockton and coach Jerry Sloan. He also has a statue in front of EnergySolutions Arena and a street next to the building named after him.

Stranded In Open Ocean For 5 Days — The Survivor Of The Worst US Navy Disaster Shares His Experience
Published 4:04 pm, Friday, May 16, 2014
The sinking of the USS Indianapolis by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II was the single greatest loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy.
Out of a crew of 1,196 sailors, 300 went down with the ship, which sank within 12 minutes of being torpedoed. Hundreds more succumbed to hypothermia, dehydration, starvation, and shark attacks as they waited for five days in the open sea for rescue. Faced with a shortage of life vests and life boats, only 317 sailors ultimately survived the attack.
In a new book, "Out of the Depths," Marine and USS Indianapolis veteran Edgar Harrell shares his harrowing experience of the wreck, his struggle for survival, and his ultimate rescue.

Below are some of Harrell's photos of the Indianapolis.
The USS Indianapolis conducted multiple operations against Japanese naval installations throughout the Pacific during World War II.
Among the many dangers the Indianapolis faced, one of the most terrifying was the Japanese use of kamikaze attacks.
Still, the Indianapolis successfully took part in campaigns as far apart as New Guinea and the Aleutian Islands.
The Indianapolis' last mission was the delivery of half the world's existing enriched uranium to Tinian Island for use in the atomic bomb Little Boy.
Four days after delivering the uranium, on July 30, 1945, two Japanese torpedoes tore through the Indianapolis.
The ship rolled over and sunk almost immediately. The survivors of the initial wreck found themselves stranded for five days in the middle of the Pacific with almost no supplies, vests, or lifeboats.
Of the 1,196 sailors onboard the Indianapolis, Harrell was one of only 317 to survive.

Indian news network New Delhi Television (NDTV) has converted its entire master control and content distribution infrastructure to full HD operations with the purchase of the latest K2 Summit Transmission Server technology from Grass Valley. The new equipment is working in tandem with a Miranda OmniBus automation system to help NDTV streamline its current network of channels and cost-effectively launch new channels while meeting the increasing demand for HD content throughout the country
The migration to HD file-based workflows was seen by NDTV as an investment to support HD transition in the near future. The Grass Valley Summit Transmission Servers — each of the six servers with 16TB of storage — have facilitated integrated file-based workflows to support the playout and production of NDTV's three nationwide news channels.
NDTV has now replaced all of its existing Grass Valley Profile SD servers with K2 Summit Transmission Servers, and the network is fully operational with plans to expand in the near future.

Product Information for Garmin NMEA 2000 Backbone Cable (6M)
Highlights for Garmin NMEA 2000 Backbone Cable (6M)
An NMEA 2000 Network is easily created by connecting NMEA 2000 devices which communicate using basic plug-and-play connectivity. Garmin uses NMEA micro connectors on units, sensors, and T-connectors. These follow NMEA 2000 standards, and are compatible with other NMEA 2000 micro connectors, cables, and NMEA 2000 devices. Garmin sensors are commonly packaged with a drop (connector) cable, a T-connector, and two terminators. Garmin display units may also include additional NMEA 2000 components (such as a power cable). The NMEA components included with a Garmin sensor or display are listed in the product documentation. A diagram on the product box shows which NMEA 2000 components are included.
- The main communication channel of a network is called a backbone
- Each device connects to the backbone with a T-Connector
- The backbone must have a source of power, and terminators must be installed at each end of the backbone for it to function properly
- The NMEA 2000 components below can be used in building, or adding to, your NMEA 2000 compatible network
- Type: Backbone/Drop Cable - 6m (19.7 ft.)
- Box Dimensions:2"H x 4"W x 5"L
- Weight: 0.4lbs

The Protocursor
The Protocursor is a full-color, 48 x 40 inch, floor plan of a crashed space ship, with Hex, Square and No overlay.
This Product includes the VTT files for online play.
Now includes a 360° View of the map.
Game Masters need quality maps for their miniatures. DramaScape™ is committed to bringing Game Masters the maps they need.
"It was a rough landing. Is everyone still alive back there? Well we made it this far and survived. Lets see if we can find some materials to fix the ship."
The Protocursor is a space ship that has made a crash landing on a frozen ice world. This module includes one ship and the icy, rocky planet surface it crash-landed on. The VTT includes the ship without the planet surface as well as the full map. This module includes two 360-degree views of the engine room and the bridge.
The Protocursor is appropriate for near or far future science fiction games. It is an exploratory ship.
Adventures with the Protocursor could start with an alien race ambushing the ship and causing it to crash on an ice field. The crew of the Protocursor needs to repair the ship to get off the planet. Sensors pick up appropriate mineral ores to fix the structural integrity of the ship's hull in a nearby mountain range.
The Player Characters need to get suited up and get to the mountain range. When they leave the ship, they are ambushed by native biological carbon-based life forms. They get to the mountain range and acquire the ore, possibly fighting more native biological/mechanical silicon-based life forms in the cave structures. When they return to the ship, they find the alien ship has landed and the aliens are investigating their crashed ship.
The Player Characters need to either subdue or kill the aliens and fix their ship to escape the planet. They could also even try to rush the alien ship and steal it with part of the alien's crew outside, provided they can figure out how to operate the alien vessel.
You can buy this product from DriveThruRPG/RPGNow.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been used as an effective tool for cancer evaluation and has been found to be highly sensitive in detecting breast tumors, but there is no evidence that pre-operative MRI translates into improved outcomes following breast conserving surgery. New NIBIB-funded research evaluated the differences between pre-operative prone and supine MRI exams in 12 women undergoing lumpectomy for breast cancer. Learn more at TechTimes:
Breast cancer patients often lie face down during MRI scans but lie face up during lumpectomy. How does the patient's position during presurgical MRI affect success of tumor removal?

is Macau worth a visit?

I enjoyed our visit to Macau. There are still charming historical parts of Macau which we liked. We also went to have a lovely meal at Fernando's - one of the best meals we had and one of th least expensive. I didn't find any shopping of interest and have no interest in gambling, but we really enjoyed our day trip to Macau. It was a nice contrast to Hong Kong.

Although the formerly pretty harbour has been ruined by land reclamation and development, there's a day's worth of walking around hilly narrow streets of ancient housing to various fortifications, churches, and a hill-top museum of Macau's history, which is well-done. The Portuguese and far less prosperous development of Macau is visible in quite a different type of charm from Hong Kong, and not yet hidden by the massive mainland investment in the run-up to the handover of 1999 and since. Signs are in Chinese and Portuguese, there's still a significant Portuguese and Macanese population, bacalhau can be found on many a menu, along with other hints of colonial charm (e.g. if you go to eat at the Clube Militar.)
And although gambling may not be of interest, at the other end the massive expansion of gambling in Vegas style, in what is becoming the new centre of gravity of Macau where land reclamation has joined two islands together, is something to look at, including a version of Vegas' Venetian, but with sampans amidst the gondolas. Even so, only a few minutes by taxi from the centre of maximum development (now rather slowed by economic conditions) there are villages completely undisturbed by these changes.
The journey past assorted islands, motley shipping, and across the Pearl River Delta at high speed by turbocat can also be a pleasure.

There used to be an old Portuguese colonial hotel called the Buena Vista. This was in the 70s. Does anyone know if it's still there?

Well well! Thank you for that. I have happy memories of drinks on the verandah and large light airy rooms with ceiling fans. They were making a film there.

I don't gamble, and the Cotai casino strip makes me weep for what Macau used to be, but I do enjoy the old town parts of Macau city, and also find that Taipa and Coloane (esp Coloane), have much less of a city feel, offer some nice beaches and parks, and are mostly devoid of the hordes of tourists you can find in the old town in Macau. The little town near Hac Sa is cute (this is where Fernandos, mentioned above, is located) and the village of Coloane itself has a Tin Hau temple and the famous and very good egg tarts at the Lord Stow Bakery. In Macau city itself, once you get out of the main historic core around the cathedral and the steps of St Paul's, it can be very quiet indeed and much less crowed. For a good walk, try Rue de Sant Antonio and Calcada do Embaixador and the areas around those streets.
As you will be in town over Christmas, I would suggest you NOT schedule a Macau trip on December 25, 26 or Sunday the 27th, as it is quite likely to be very crowded on those days (the 25th and 26th are public holidays in Hong Kong and Sundays are always quite crowded). If you do have to choose one of those days, then I would strongly recco that you make bookings for the ferry both outward and esp return, as this may save you quite a bit of time waiting in line for tickets and for seats on a ferry. See http://www.turbojet.com.hk or http://www.nwff.com.hk/ for details on doing this (the latter ferries depart from the Kowloon side of the harbour). For the ferries, get first class tickets, there will be more available and it's less crowded.
Also, when you arrive at the ferry pier in Macau, it is not necessary to wait in line for a taxi to get to town. Just take a bus (buses usually have no or a very short line). Take the #3 or 3A bus which will take you to the Senado Square area in the centre of town for MOP$2.50. (There is an ATM machine inside the ferry terminal, before the glass exit doors, look for signs.) You can take the #25 bus down to Coloane from Senado Square in about 30 minutes, it costs MOP$4. A taxi from the same area will cost about MOP$75 (just under US$10). There are other buses which will take you to Hac Sa beach, check the bus stops or a guidebook.
You can also hire a taxi for a few hours to give you a tour around, this will be around US$20, these guys will be waiting when you come out the glass doors into the taxi/bus area and will approach you, so don't worry about finding one.
A street map will be helpful. You can can get maps at the tourist office at the regular ferry piers in Macau. Most larger guidebooks for Hong Kong/Macau (like Fodors, also have city maps of Macau in them as well.

Well Cicerone, aren´t you quite a guide!!!!
thanks so much for all the very usefull tips! I´m definitely considering the trip right now. So, do you think Dec. 23rd. or 24th. are good dates to go there? I´ll be in HK from Dec. 23-27.
once again, thanks a lot everybody!!
Report Abuse
Better go on the 23rd. By 24th, some people in HK may take early leave and head to Macau, so ferry tickets may be tight and the piers more crowded.
Report Abuse
While it might be a bit strange on your very first day in Hong Kong to go to Macau, the 23rd may be a better day. Hard to say. Some offices will close early on the 24th, so ferries from Macau on the evening of the 24th may be crowded. But if you have a reservation for a ferry, this is not as much of an issue, IMO.
The 23rd is a Wednesday, and one thing you might consider doing that night is going to the horse races at Happy Valley. (I am guessing by your screen name that you might like to gamble). This is the quintessential Hong Kong experience I would say. See http://www.hkjc.com/english/index.asp, click on "Horse Racing", then "Come Racing" and then "Overseas Visitors" for info. You can either stand in the stands or sit and have a meal at a place like the Stable Bend Terrace. In the "winter" weather, it's really a fun night out. (There are also races in Sha Tin on Sunday afternoon the 27th, but this may not work with your flight schedule and Sha Tin is not as conveniently located.)
The other thing is that I would say that you should go to the Kowloon waterfront on Christmas eve night and walk the esplanade and Salisbury Road (which is usually closed to traffic that night) as this is just a fun thing to do. Thousands of people are out seeing the Christmas lights and just relaxing. It's a carnival atmosphere, and it's one of my favourite nights in Hong Kong. So you might miss that if you were in Macau. (Lines for the Star Ferry can be long on that night if you need to go across the harbour, but it's a scenic way to travel, and the MTR won't be much better, so I say suck it up and take the ferry for the views and experience.)
If you are planning on going to the Big Buddha on Lantau at any time on the 25th or 26th and you want to take the cable car, then you absolutely should (I would even say must) make a reservation now so as to avoid having to waiting hours in line (which is likely to be far more time than you will spend AT the Buddha). See http://www.np360.com.hk/html/eng/front/index.asp. (I would recommend the "crystal cabin" as this will allow you to jump most of the line for the cable car. A reservation allows you to skip the line for tickets, but there is then a line for the cars themselves, which can be just as long as the line for tickets.) I would say to only take the cable car one way, as the bus ride actually offers great views too, or you can walk down, there are some wonderful walks from difficult to easy.
If you don't have cable car tickets, then to get to or from the Buddha, just take the bus either from Tung Chung MTR (Bus #23) or from the Mui Wo ferry pier (Bus #2). Both are likely to have lines, but IMO buses run more often from Tung Chung so I would take the MTR option. (On Sundays and Public holidays, Bus #1R will take you to/from the Nathan Road area in Kowloon right to the Buddha in about 1.5 hours. This may be a good option too, but again there are likely to be lines for this bus.) The only reason to go via a ferry IMO, is to do the wonderful Lantau Trail #12 walk or the Trappist Monastery Walk, both of which are very interesting, not difficult (although there are some uphill portions, this is Hong Kong after all), and can be done before or after a visit to the Buddha. Personally, I think there are many other things to do in Hong Kong rather than going to the Buddha, but I know it makes a lot of people's list.
Report Abuse
thanks again Cicerone! so many tips and all so very useful.
Actually, I´ve seen many Budhas already, so, do yo mean this one is not worth a visit?
Report Abuse
What I mostly mean is that going to the Buddha involves a lot of time and effort to see a perfectly nice, but not overly inspiring, Buddha, IMO. It is very large, which is impressive. But if you have seen the large outdoor Buddhas in Japan, the PRC, India or Thailand (or some of the large indoor ones in Thailand), then it may not even impress you that much. And to me it does not have the serenity or approachability of many of the Buddha figures you find in Thailand or Cambodia.
The entire trip out and back will take about 4 hours, and that does not include time spent waiting in line for the cable car, which can add like 2 hours just one way unless you have reserved ahead of time. And in my experience, most people seem to spend less than an hour at the place. So the effort-to-experience-ratio just does not seem worth it. (Also, right now there is a good bit of construction going on around the monastery area so there is dust, noise, cranes, etc.) I find Lantau to be a really beautiful island with great beaches, walks/hikes, little villages and some other interesting monasteries, but the average visitor does not see this. They spend over an hour each way getting to the Buddha (not including wait time at the cable car) about 45 minutes at the Buddha/monastery, and perhaps have a rather average vegetarian meal (indoors with no views, on an island with some fun beachside restaurants and wonderful picnic opportunities). I think that a trip to the Buddha combined with another activity on Lantau is a great way to spend time, but just going out and back to the Buddha alone is really not something I would do and would not encourage my visitors to do either.

Thanks for all the great information, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to Macau. But I've decided to go now. Thanks again

Macau, like Hong Kong, is worth visiting for that fascinating blend of east and west.

Authentic8 Debuts "Disposable Browser" Security Service
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/18/14 -- Authentic8, maker of Silo, the cloud-based secure browser for businesses, has released a new version of its product -- Silo for Individuals -- a "disposable browser" designed specifically to protect consumers. Silo for Individuals builds on the success of Silo Team Edition, a service that has been commercially available since 2013 and embraced by financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, legal and security companies.
Every day, consumers use the browser to access websites that contain highly sensitive and personal information, including banking, credit card, health care data and more. It's a common activity that is largely taken for granted. But beneath the covers of a person's web use lies a collection of underlying technologies that, when taken together, were not designed for comprehensive security. Chief among them is the browser, which is inherently vulnerable due to its exposure to any and all forms of web content. But securing data also relies on the network, DNS, website content, even advertising networks. Users don't know how or if their data has been exposed or where they are being tracked. It is clear that consumers don't have the tools needed to protect them from online risk.
Silo for Individuals was designed to address this problem. The service, available now, allows users to access the web through a cloud-based "disposable browser." Users connect to Silo over an encrypted connection, where a fresh browser is built in a secure sandbox. All web content and browsing information is confined to that sandbox, creating an insulating layer around sensitive data. And when the user closes Silo, all web data is destroyed, ensuring that no malicious code or tracking cookies stay around. Whether accessing from a computer, laptop or iPad, Silo keeps user data separated and isolated from the variety of potential threats on the user's machine and across the Internet.
Additional features include: Integrated management and secure submission of login credentials. No more re-using the same password across websites Control over two-factor authentication for accessing Silo. Users can decide how rigorously they wish to protect access to their accounts, and what devices can be trusted Expanded anonymity capabilities for cookie handling, masking users' IP addresses and browsing habits "When we started Authentic8, we set out to change how businesses secure and control web based applications," said Scott Petry, CEO at Authentic8. "But with the latest revelations concerning mass surveillance and increased threats from malicious code, we felt that providing secure web access to individuals was just as important. Silo for Individuals is the best way to stay safe, secure and private online." "We were surprised by the high level of interest in Silo by end users and we're excited to address their needs with a product designed just for them," said Ramesh Rajagopal, president at Authentic8.

Despite Downbeat Report Silver Palace Remains Busy
Published: January 5, 1997
To the Editor:
I am writing in response to your Dec. 22 article ''At Silver Palace, Union Troubles Stay on the Menu.'' The article said that on a recent Sunday afternoon people crowded outside the Jing Fong restaurant while ''there were plenty of empty chairs'' at the Silver Palace.
In fact, our dining room was busy and crowded for lunch on that day, Dec. 15. Our lunch sales for that day were $8,819.45. Jing Fong is larger by Silver Place by 300 seats and I am sure they did not have the same sales as we did on that day.
On the issue of banquets, the fact is on that day, we received four banquet reservations for 1997.
