Essential Guide
Tackling the ongoing problem of endpoint defense
We're well past a blind reliance on antivirus scanning at the endpoint, but there's also not yet consensus on which next steps are a must and which are just nice to have. Here's your guide through the endpoint thicket.
Next to perhaps only firewalls, endpoint security figures as the network world's oldest defense. But while its history is old, the basic problem of protecting the PC on the desk has never fully been solved. Rather, the difficulty has increased as the number and kinds of endpoints multiply, particularly with the rise of mobility in the majority of endpoint devices and increase in the sophistication of the attacks. In this Essential Guide, learn everything you need to know to develop or refresh your enterprise endpoint strategy.
Basic endpoint strategies
Endpoint protection certainly still focuses on stopping malware as it attempts to lodge itself on a system, but achieving success at even this basic need requires a well-articulated strategy.
Finding the endpoint data you need to protect
Worried that your enterprise endpoints may be harboring sensitive information like credit card numbers or Social Security numbers? Fear not. Mike Chapple offers algorithms and tools to conduct a search and advice on dealing with the results. Continue Reading

2Beyond the Static Scan-
Ranging beyond basic scanning
Increasingly, IT security professionals recognize that the limitations of traditional static scanning mean that they must rapidly adopt additional protections, such as whitelisting, while at the same time dealing with new environments, such as those employing cloud-based applications.
Evasion techniques make short work of antivirus defenses
In the wake of the New York Times attack, a look at antivirus evasion techniques show how easy it is to avoid antivirus detection and why new defenses are needed. Continue Reading

I have been meaning to draw up a flowchart to describe my budget, but have been putting it off. If you've seen my monthly credit card bill posts, you know we allow ourselves $100 weekly allowance each to spend on discretionary items. This flowchart below will explain where our money goes each month.
Basically, Green shapes are good and we aim to build those accounts up. Yellow shapes are just cushion accounts and can go up and down, but we try to keep the balance somewhat stable. Orange shapes are expenditures which we'll need to keep trimming so I can retire by the time I'm 40.
This is the ideal picture and we don't always adhere to the rule 100% of the time. Sometime we put charges on the credit card that should have been paid with our allowance hence my credit card compliance rating. See my October and September bills for how we did the last couple of months. Yes, I know groceries are not really discretionary spending, but WinCo does not take credit card.
The one arrow that I'm not showing is from the Stock Purchase Plan to Saving account. I try to keep company stock holding to less than 5% and sell off the stocks when the price is right. ** I updated the flowchart to make it more clear. **
What do you think? Is this ingenious or what? 🙂 It works for us.
I made a version 2.0 of the money flowchart!

In our opinion
October 24, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 27
Last Wednesday, Congress did what they appear to be experts at – and that's very little.
Sure, they did do their best at dueling demagoguery. It's seemingly what they spend the most time at earning their $175,000 a year. Oh, they did get their regular workout kicking the very dented and nearly crushed debt can down the pothole-pocked road.
A 285-144 vote in the House of Representatives, which followed 81-18 approval in the Senate, allowed about 18-percent of the federal government to reopen and the government to keep spending uncontrollably as they do so well.

LAST TIME OUT: Solomon Hill, Jesse Perry and Kyle Fogg combined for 48 points and 30 rebounds to lead Arizona to the 71-57 win Thursday over Colorado. Hill and Perry were frontline stand-outs, combining to make 12-of-21 shots and each registering a double-double, as the Wildcats posted a +12 rebound advantage. Fogg scored four points in a 12-3 burst midway through the second half that gave UA breathing room, and Arizona capitalized on a 26-9 advantage in scoring from the free throw line.
SCOUTING UTAH: The Utes enter today's game with a 5-19 record (2-10 Pac-12) following Thursday's 57-52 loss at Arizona State. On the year, Utah averages 56.3 points, shoots 40.5 percent from the floor (474-of-1,169), 29.4 percent (123-of-418) from three-point range and 66.2 percent (280-of-423) from the line. Opponents average 70.6 points, are outrebound Utah by 4.8 boards per game and shoot 48.1 percent from the floor (618-of-1,285). Individually, one Utah player averages in double figures: Jason Washburn with a 10.2 ppg average. He also leads the Utes with a 6.2 rebounds per game average.
THE SERIES: Today's game is the 51st meeting of the two schools with Utah holding a 28-22 series advantage. Arizona captured the last four meetings in the series, which dates back to Dec. 21, 1953, including a 77-51 win in Salt Lake City on Jan. 19. Since leaving the WAC, UA is 7-3 against Utah. All-time, Arizona is 13-8 in series games played in Tucson, 7-19 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and 2-1 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 49 in the UA media guide.
LAST MEETING: Arizona 77, Utah 51, Jan. 19, 2012: Holding a five-point lead at the break, Arizona broke things open early in the second period with a 20-2 run over 4:26 to essentially put things away. UA shot 58 percent from the field, including 6-of-12 from three-point range, and scored 44 of its 77 points in the second half. Kevin Parrom and Kyle Fogg led four Wildcats in double figures with 12 points apiece, while Jesse Perry pulled down 10 rebounds.
KUDOS TO OUR CATS, BOTH FORMER AND FUTURE: Three members of the Wildcat family, one a former player and two future performers, received special recognition Thursday for their efforts on the court. Andre Iguodala, an Arizona standout from 2002-04, was named to the 2012 NBA All-Star Game as an Eastern Conference reserve. Additionally, UA signees Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett were both named McDonald's All-Americans. Iguodala is the third former Wildcat to be named an NBA All-Star, while Ashley and Jerrett are the 16th and 17th McDonald's All-Americans in program history.
ROUND NUMBERS: As Jesse Perry (17), Solomon Hill (16) and Kyle Fogg (15), three of Arizona's most veteran players, each posted double-figure scoring games Thursday as the Wildcats downed Colorado. It was a milestone of sorts for each, as Fogg posted his 55th career game in double figures, Hill collected his 40th and Perry his 25th. Additionally (though not a round number), it marked the seventh time this season that that trio has each scored in double figures in the same game, and the 48 combined points was the second-highest total of the season, trailing only a 53-point accumulation Dec. 20 vs. Oakland.
A TOP-10 GUY: Senior guard Kyle Fogg enters today's game with 129 career games played, and an appearance against the Utes would move him into a tie for seventh place on Arizona's career games played list at 130. With a minimum of six games left this season, Fogg has his sights set on the Arizona career games played lead, currently held by Jason Gardner (1999-2003) with 136.
LIMITING THE LOOKS: Arizona continues to do a stellar job of making hard for the opposition to score, as the Cats limited Colorado to a .373 (22-of-59) field goal percentage Thursday night. UA has held 10 opponents to less than 40-percent shooting this season, including six of 12 Pac-12 foes. Overall, UA's field goal percentage defense figure checks in at .397 (562-of-1,417) through 25 games, and that number drops to .384 (260-of-677) in conference play. The FG percentage defense number looms large as the Cats are 15-1 this season when outshooting the opposition.
CAUSE AND EFFECT: Holding teams to a low field goal percentage is a good first step, but good defensive teams also have to rebound effectively in order to end the possession. The Wildcats certainly have done a nice job of that, especially lately, as the team has grabbed 68 defensive rebounds in the last two games. The 34 at Stanford and the 35 vs. Colorado are the two highest single-game defensive rebound totals of the season. On the season, Arizona averages 26.2 defensive rebounds per game. In those last two ballgames, Arizona limited Stanford and Colorado to a combined .311 (38-of-122) field goal percentage.
BOARD WORK: Led by Solomon Hill's career-high 14 rebounds Thursday, Arizona posted a 43-31 rebound advantage over Colorado. The Wildcats have now outrebounded 18 of 25 opponents to date and carry a +2.6 rebound margin. Seven times in 2011-12 the margin has been 10 or more and Thursday's +12 margin was the second-highest of the season. Arizona is 14-4 this season when outrebounding the opposition.
GET AHEAD, STAY AHEAD: Nothing seems to matter as much as getting an early lead and keeping it. This season, Arizona is 12-0 when leading at the 10-minute mark of the first half. UA is 2-1 when tied at that point and 3-7 when trailing.
KEEPING IT CLOSE: Through 25 games, Arizona carries a +8.0 scoring margin. In its 17 wins, the average margin of victory is 14.2 ppg. In the squad's eight defeats, the margin is 5.4 points.
GETTING TO THE LINE: Thursday was another example of Arizona assertively getting to the free throw line, as UA attempted 35 free throws. Over the last four games, Arizona attempted 18 free throws, more than double that (58) of the opposition. In that span, Arizona has averaged 29.5 free throws per game and 20 made FTs per game, 15 more than its foes attempt and 10 more than it scores. That recent increase is 6.7 more attempts per game than its average through 25 games (22.8). Over the course of the entire season, Arizona attempts 4,2 more free throws per game that its opponent and scores 3.7 more points from the charity stripe.
SHINING IN PRIME TIME: Freshman forward Angelo Chol seems to have adapted to the bright lights of television exposure. In his last two Thursday night appearances - televised nationally by FSN and ESPN - Chol has matched his season high in points (eight), while averaging 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. The 6-foot-9 product of San Diego, Calif., has connected on 5-of-7 FGs (.714) and all four free throws. On the season, Chol is averaging 2.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.8 blocked shots per game.
ON THE REBOUND: It's not often that senior guard Brendon Lavender would take as many as five three-point field goal attempts and miss every one. In fact, it's the first time in his career (13 times) that he's taken five or more shots from behind the arc and gone 0-fer. Expect the 6-foot-5 product of Mesa, Ariz., to bounce back, as Lavender is 11-of-17 (.647) from three-point range this season in the six games this season in which he has attempted at least one trey without sinking any. Currently, he leads all Pac-12 players with a .492 (31-of-63) three-point field goal percentage.
WARMING UP: Over the last three games, freshman Nick Johnson has averaged 10.0 points per game, a figure about 2.0 ppg higher than his scoring average in Pac-12 play. It's also not surprising that Arizona has reeled off three straight wins with an increased scoring punch from the 6-foot-2 guard from Gilbert, Ariz. In fact, the 30 points netted by Johnson in the last three games is more than he tallied in the previous five games combined. He averages 9.2 ppg on the season and has 11 double-figure scoring games.
MARKED IMPROVEMENT: Junior Solomon Hill has proven himself to be one of the Pac-12 best all-around performers, especially in league play as he averages 12.5 points (16th) and 8.8 rebounds (2nd) per game in Pac-12 play, including a .525 field goal percentage. What's improved most of all for Hill in league play is his three-point field goal percentage, as his .458 accuracy rate from long range is significantly better than his season-long average of .362.
SCOREBOARD TOTALS: Arizona is 11-1 this season when scoring 70 or more points, including a 5-0 mark in Pac-12 play. Through 12 conference games (six home/six road), the Wildcats average 71.5 points per game at home and 64.8 points on the road and carry identical 4-2 records depending on location.
RECRUITING CLASS: The Arizona coaching staff signed four student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent as part of the November early signing period. Brandon Ashley (F, 6-8, 215) from Oakland, Calif., who preps at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev.; Grant Jerrett (F, 6-10, 220) from LaVerne, Calif., who preps at LaVerne Lutheran H.S.; Kaleb Tarczewski (C, 7-0, 220) from Southborough, Mass., who preps at St. Mark's School; and Gabe York (G, 6-1, 170) from Orange, Calif., who preps at Orange Lutheran H.S.; make up a class that was ranked No. 1 nationally by espn.com and rivals.com.
UP NEXT: The Wildcats hit the road for its final two-game road trip of the conference season, when UA travels to the state of Washington, beginning Thursday, Feb. 16, at Washington State. Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m. PST and can be seen nationally on FOX Sports Net.

Blacks Claim New Parking Sign is Racist
Ever since Barack Hussein Obama became president, blacks have had a chip on their shoulders. Let's just admit it, as you know it is true.
The black community thinks they are entitled now and have no hesitation in using reverse racism to get their way. It is horrible and it is angering.
There are now even nit-picking in their tiny community. Here this following photograph made the news, and apparently the "Reverend" Jessie Jackson and the "Reverend" Alfonso Sharpton will be heading down here to march where this tied man is holding his hands up, as if this sign were made for blacks.
I'm growing tired of blacks using excuses to keep our nation racist by discriminating, and it is more proof of why we must get rid of affirmative action. This no parking sign is not racist, it just tells this man he should go park somewhere else because there are people who are not allowed to park here.

Two weeks ago, I released my big board for the offensive positions for the 2014 NFL Draft. The pool for the 2014 NFL Draft is extremely deep on the defensive side of the ball, much more so than the offense. If the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks have taught us anything, it is that there are quality players at every position in every round that can be found. The key to success is finding the right players for the right team just like Malcolm Smith, Kam Chancellor and many other stars from the Super Bowl champions.
The draft board is extremely deep in pass rushers and defensive backs, but there is depth everywhere. At least ten players from the front seven could go in the first round along with at least five cornerbacks. The NFL is changing and the importance of secondary players can not be overstated. A breed of larger and more physical players is emerging in the back end and this draft class will show that.
The following is my positional break down on the defensive side of the ball. An overall big board followed by my first mock draft will be coming soon.
Defensive Ends
South Carolina Defensive End Jadaveon Clowney has been the number one player on almost every big board in America all year and he remains the top of his position. Clowney may still be the most talented player in the class, but he is not alone at his position. Stanford DE Trent Murphy and Notre Dame DE Stephon Tuitt are both terrific Defensive Ends that could go in the first round. Several edge rushers could move up similiar to the way Ziggy Ansah and Dion Jordan did last year, but the combine will be the true opportunity for those players.
1. Jadaveon Clowney – South Carolina
2. Stephon Tuitt – Notre Dame
3. Trent Murphy – Stanford
4. Kony Ealy – Missouri
5. Michael Sam – Missouri
6. Scott Chrichton – Oregon State
7. Jackson Jeffcoat – Texas
8. Chris Smith – Arkansas
9. Aaron Lynch – USF
10. James Gayle – Virginia Tech
11. Cassius Marsh – UCLA
12. Ed Stinson – Alabama
13. Trevor Reilly – Utah
Defensive Tackles
The Defensive Tackle class is extremely deep and has at least four players that could be going in the first round. Florida State DT Timmy Jernigan is the most talented and should go first, but there is plenty of depth including Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald and Arizona State DT Will Sutton who were the most productive interior linemen in the country last year. A real sleeper will be Princeton DT Caraun Reid who has shot up boards of late and will only continue to do so as the process continues.
1. Timmy Jernigan – Florida State
2. Ra'Shede Hageman – Minnesota
3. Louis Nix III – Notre Dame
4. Aaron Donald – Pittsburgh
5. Will Sutton – Arizona State
6. Caraun Reid – Princeton
7. Dominique Easley – Florida
8. Ego Ferguson – LSU
9. Anthony Johnson – LSU
10. Kelcy Quarles – South Carolina
11. George Uko – USC
12. Daniel McCullers – Tennessee
Outside Linebackers
UCLA OLB Anthony Barr and Buffalo OLB Khalil Mack have been atop draft boards all year, but I have Auburn OLB Dee Ford as my top player in the position come draft day. Ford is an elite pass rusher that can get around the edge better than any player in the country. Barr is the prototype, but Ford has produced for years and will continue to do so at the next level. BYU OLB Kyle Van Noy is another player I have higher than most and is again because of his production over measurables. All four of my top OLB should go in the first round and several others could shoot up the draft boards when teams put their film on including Attaochu from Georgia Tech and Jordan Tripp from Montana.
Outside Linebackers
1. Dee Ford – Auburn
2. Anthony Barr – UCLA
3. Kyle Van Noy – BYU
4. Khalil Mack – Buffalo
5. Jeremiah Attaochu – Georgia Tech
6. Ryan Shazier – Ohio State
7. Telvin Smith – Florida State
8. Christian Kirksey – Iowa
9. Jordan Tripp – Montana
10. Adrian Hubbard – Alabama
11. Carl Bradford – Arizona State
Inside Linebackers
The inside linebacker class is not one of the better positions of this years draft, but an inside linebacker can emerge as the most important player of the defense. Last year Kiko Alonso emerged from nowhere to become one of the better players in the AFC and this year that player will be Shayne Skov of Stanford. Skov is an elite playmaker that flies around the field more than any other player in the country. He will step right in and become the captain of whatever team takes the chance on him and could be a special player if he can stay healthy.
1. Shayne Skov – Stanford
2. CJ Mosley – Alabama
3. Chris Borland – Wisconsin
4. Yawin Smallwood – Connecticut
5. Jordan Zumwalt – UCLA
6. DeDe Lattimore – USF
7. Max Bullough – Michigan State
8. Christian Jones – Florida State
On the defensive side of the ball, cornerback may be the deepest position. At least eight of these players could end up sneaking into the first round and every draft guru seems to prognosticate a different group. Marcus Gilbert of Oklahoma State is the consensus top player, but after that everyone seems to disagree on the order. Virginia Tech Corner Kyle Fuller and Michigan State corner Darqueze Dennard were the two most productive corners in college football over the last few years. LaMarcus Joyner of Florida State probably has the best value due to his ability to contribute on special teams right away. Stanley Jean-Baptiste of Nebraska and Walt Aikens of Liberty could benefit from the recent change in the NFL moving towards bigger and more physical corners.
1. Marcus Gilbert – Oklahoma State
2. Darqueze Dennard – Michigan State
3. LaMarcus Joyner – Florida State
4. Kyle Fuller – Virginia Tech
5. Stanley Jean-Baptiste – Nebraska
6. Bradley Roby – Ohio State
7. Louicheiz Purifoy – Florida
8. Jason Verett – TCU
9. Walt Aikens – Liberty
10. Aaron Colvin – Oklahoma
11. Chris Davis – Auburn
12. Marcus Roberson – Florida
13. Pierre DeSir – Lindenwood
14. Keith McGill – Utah
15. E.J. Gaines – Missouri
16. Jaylen Watkins – Florida
17. Antone Exum – Virginia Tech
18. Vic Hampton – South Carolina
Free Safeties
The Safety class is not one of the stronger parts of the NFL Draft pool, but as always there is value to be found. Alabama Safety Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix should step right in as a starter after being a contributor and star in his entire career at Alabama. Northern Illinois Safety Jimmie Ward should be a sleeper to step right in and contribute on special teams.
1. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix – Alabama
2. Calvin Pryor – Louisville
3. Jimmie Ward – Northern Illinois
4. Terrence Brooks – Florida State
5. Dion Bailey – USC
Strong Safeties
Just like the Free Safety draft pool, the strong safety pool is weak. Washington State Safety Deone Bucannon has shot up draft boards towards the end of the season thanks to his physicality. LSU Safety Craig Loston has been a contributor for years and should step in quickly at the next level.
1. Deone Bucannon – Washington State
2. Craig Loston – LSU
3. Ahmad Dixon – Baylor
4. Hakeem Smith – Louisville
5. Vinnie Sunseri – Alabama
6. Isaiah Lewis – Michigan State

April 22, 1999
Southern Cal Western Regional: Three-time defending national champion UCLA (18-8 overall, 6-3 MPSF) will take its next step in defense of its national title at this weekend's Southern Section Western Regional Qualifying Tournament, which will be held at UC San Diego's Canyonview Pool on April 23-25. This is the first year that the Western Regionals have been divided into Northern and Southern sections. Last year, the Bruins defeated Stanford 7-4 in the title game.
On Saturday, April 24, UCLA meets the San Diego State Aztecs (19-13 overall, 3-6 MPSF) for a 9 a.m. game. In their two meetings with the Aztecs this season, UCLA easily handed San Diego State two losses, both by at least a six-point margin.
The same day, the Bruins face off with their rival USC (24-2 overall, 8-1 MPSF) at 2 pm. The Bruins have lost all four of their games against the Trojans this season, but have never lost by more than two points. The Bruins last met with the Trojans April 10, when the Trojans defeated the Bruins, 7-5, at the MPSF Tournament.
Sunday's matchups will be determined by the results of the Friday and Saturday games. If UCLA qualifies for the Collegiate Championships, the Bruins will travel to UC Davis on May 7-9 to try and contend for their fourth straight national title.
Bruins Move Up in the Polls: After UCLA upset Stanford, 7-6, in the third place match at the MPSF Tournament on April 11, the previously fourth-ranked Bruins moved up a notch to number three in the U.S. Water Polo National Collegiate Poll. The Bruins have been ranked fourth for the entire season except in the sixth week of competition, when they earned a number three ranking.
All-Federation Selections: Freshman Elaine Zivich (Lompoc) received first-team All-Federation accolades. The 5-11 attacker is currently leading her team with 48 goals. Zivich has scored in all but one of UCLA's 26 games this season. Freshman Jenny Lamb earned second-team All-Federation honors. The 5-7 playmaker from Huntington Beach is the third-leading scorer on the team with 25 points. She is currently posting a 48% shooting percentage, the second highest on the team.
Honorable Mention honors went to goalkeeper Erin Golaboski (Severna Park, MD), senior Katie Tenenbaum (Merced), senior Mandy McAloon (Millersville, MD) and senior Amanda Gall of Placentia.
Four Bruins Make MPSF All-Tournament Team: Zivich, Lamb, Golaboski and McAloon were again rewarded for their efforts, each earning second team honors on the 1999 MPSF All-Tournament Team.
Celebrating Women's Athletics: The UCLA Athletic Department will celebrate the Silver Anniversary of UCLA Women's Intercollegiate Athletics on May 1, 1999. "A Celebration of Champions" dinner will honor the accomplishments of the UCLA Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Program and its athletes over the past 25 years.

SCR: After it was announced last season that Ward Burton was leaving the team and that you were going to get his seat and move to Nextel Cup this season, how much of a benefit was it to get in the car with four races remaining to get acquainted with the team heading into 2004?
WIMMER: It was real important. Ward Burton is a great driver and he was at Bill Davis Racing when I first got there. Ward helped me out a lot with my career. Things just weren't quite the way they wanted them to go with him so he stepped aside and that really gave me the chance to get in the car early. Ward didn't have to do that but he did just to help both of us out. It was a chance for me to get started working with my new Cup team and the team he is driving for this year. It was exciting to me because I knew this was a great group of guys that I knew but had never got the chance to work with them before. I can't tell you how excited I was to sit behind the seat of the No. 22 car for the first time.
SCR: You obviously got the season started off in a pretty big way with a third-place finish in the Daytona 500. How much did that mean to you personally and to your entire team?
WIMMER: It obviously felt real good to me, especially because I went through a lot of personal issues during the off-season. To rebound from that and have a good run at Daytona and then leave Rockingham in fourth place in points meant a lot because I've worked real hard to get to this level. It felt good to get the season started off like we did. Now we have to continue that through the rest of the year.
SCR: Was that third-place finish the best race of your career even though you didn't win?
WIMMER: It definitely was. That was one tough race. I was driving my heart out every lap. I was up there running with some of the best restrictor plate racers in the business. We didn't have the best test session leading into the race, but to end up third in the Daytona 500 was a great accomplishment.
SCR: What were your thoughts in the closing laps when you were following two of the sport's biggest superstars in Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart in the biggest NASCAR race?
WIMMER: That was very special. We went into the race with a game plan and I was more concerned about finishing the race than winning. Then as the race went on, we were in a position to where we actually started to think about winning. When I was leading with about 20 laps to go, there were a lot of emotions running through my head. I ended up getting passed by Tony Stewart and Dale Jr., but I was still doing everything I could to get back around those guys. I knew if they would have had a little bad luck or gotten together, I would have had the chance to win the Daytona 500 in my first try. Even after I got passed, I just never gave up.
SCR: You had a tremendous amount of success in the Busch Series with crew chief Robert "Bootie" Barker, and won four races during the 2002 season. How big of a loss was it when he announced that he was leaving the team last season?
WIMMER: It was a huge blow because Bootie and I worked together for two years and finally started to get each other figured out. When I came into the Busch Series, he was a rookie crew chief and I was a rookie driver. We had our struggles at first, but in our second year we really started to gel, win races and do some great things together. What it all boiled down to was Bootie had some other avenues he wanted to pursue and I don't blame him for doing what he needed to do because it was a great opportunity. It was probably something I would have liked to have done with him. If we could have moved up to Nextel Cup together, I think we could have run real well and been strong. I learned a lot from Bootie and he is a great individual. He's a very smart man that is going to be in this business for a long time.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
Members of the Point Reyes Book Club, the West Marin Men's Reading Group, and others came together last night at the Point Reyes Library to discuss this year's One Book One Marin selection, Oracle of Stamboul. What they didn't expect was a Turkish feast, orchestrated by Point Reyes Community Library Specialist Jennifer Livingston. There was lamb and beef lahmacun, cigarette borek, baba ganouj, and pempe sultan - a delicious cabbage dish. People really enjoyed discussing the book with friends and neighbors and also enjoyed the delightful flavors of Turkey.

Saturday's defeat to Navy by the score of 76-35 is one of those disappointing losses that is forever a part of ECU's football history. No one was more embarrassed and more intent to use that loss as motivation to build a great football program than the coaches and players who fought that battle.
As is the case every Saturday in today's game, there were other proud programs experiencing similar agony. Texas down 39-0 at Kansas State and No. 6 Utah behind 40-0 at home in a showdown game with TCU come to mind first.
If anyone had told us before the season that this team would be 5-4 with three regular season games remaining, most sane Pirates would have exuberantly accepted such an offer. Furthermore, if told that the wins would include a nationally-televised shootout with Tulsa, a gutsy comeback at Southern Miss and a heart-stopping overtime win over N.C. State, we would have been even more elated.
This is a reminder that the team and the Pirate Nation cannot be distracted from the task at hand by the loss to Navy or any other adversity we may face.
We have come this far by pulling on the same oar and the rough seas ahead will require our very best team effort.

"Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying the Candela pistachio pearl necklace and earrings. It was really difficult to wait until Christmas morning to be able to wear them! I love the shade of the pearls, and the movement of the pendant when I am wearing it. It is just a beautiful design with fantastic workmanship - love the balance of shine, texture and shapes. The earrings look lovely with the pendant; really the finishing touch!"Patti
"I wanted to say thank you so much for helping with the design of my engagement ring. It is absolutely perfect. I have even received compliments even from strangers on the subway. I actually call it my mood ring because everytime I look at it, it puts me in a better mood."Kim
"We picked up the ring last night. I can't even articulate how much I love it and how perfect it is. The size, the colour, the finish, the style we just love it! The only thing that sucks is that I don't get to wear it until July 14!
"I have been meaning to send you a note to thank you for the beautiful lotus brooch. It makes such a lovely set with the earrings and I can also wear it as a pendant. "Frances
"Thanks again for making me the perfect pendant! Your designs are absolutely stunning!!"Laurie
"Hi Pam! I love my ring!!! Thanks again for making it for me!"Carol
"Yesterday I purchased the Infinity necklace and I just wanted to tell you how much I like it and how beautful it is. I put the matching earrings on my wish list for Christmas. I read you bio and appreciate even more the work that has gone into your work. I wish you a long a sucessful career in jewellry design and look forward to futher purchases. Thank you"Louise
"The ring fits perfectly, and she loves it (so does my mum...nice work!). The stone really sparkles a lot...when we are outside on a sunny day, it's like a little series of fireworks when she moves her hand around. That was definitely what I was looking for, and the Dolci setting was a very good choice, because as I suspected, she likes the elegant simplicity of such a classic design. It looks beautiful on her hand."Simon
"I have been looking at all the small details on the ring and it's really impressive. You took a good design and turned it into something amazing. Thanks so much for the work you put into it!"Chris
"We presented my Mom with the necklace on Saturday and she loves it. Thank-you for your very special attention to detail and for getting it done so fast. All the best"Phil
"People are loving our rings as we show them off and tell them our story so…… I thank you for helping us create our unique and symbolic rings!"
"Thanks for doing such a beautiful job. My ring is exquisite and I am so happy to have it. You are amazing!!"Donna

(11:02 a.m. EST) -- With two inaugural sailings and a new ship christening on tap for this week, staffers at Carnival Cruise Lines probably expected they'd be pretty busy. Now, thanks to Hurricane Ida, which is bearing down on the U.S. Gulf Coast, they're even busier.
Carnival Fantasy and Carnival Triumph were slated to depart on Tuesday for their first-ever cruises from their new homeports of Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans respectively. Due to Ida, Carnival Fantasy will now depart from Mobile on Wednesday, November 11; the scheduled six-night cruise will now be a five-nighter, calling on Costa Maya and Cozumel.
Carnival Triumph will also delay its inaugural cruise by one day. Originally a four-night voyage, the cruise will now sail for three nights, departing New Orleans on Wednesday, November 11. The ship will not make any port calls.
Passengers booked on Carnival Fantasy will receive a pro-rated refund of the cruise fare they paid for the six-night trip. Those on Carnival Triumph's now three-night trip will receive a 50 percent refund.
In both cases, passengers have the option to cancel and receive a full refund.
Further weather forecasts for the East Coast may also be unnerving Carnival execs. The line's Carnival Dream is slated to be christened in New York on Thursday, with full pomp and circumstance, and then depart on a short weekend preview voyage. However, the currently dissipating Hurricane Ida could resurface there later in the week as a nor'easter.
We'll keep you posted.

The addition of nail art embellishments can add glitz to any ordinary manicure. Embellishments come in various forms including rhinestones, studs, microbeads, flat back pearls and 3-d designs.
One of the biggest cons of nail art embellishments is how easy they can come off if not properly adhered to your nails. It can be really discouraging to apply cute rhinestone designs only for them to fall off shortly after. Here are some tips on how to safely get your nail art embellishments to securely adhere to your natural nails.
- Use clear nail polish instead of acrylic or nail glue to adhere the embellishments when working on your natural nails, it is a much safer option.
- Apply embellishments when nail polish is tacky. If you do it while the polish is wet, it won't set and stick properly.
- Use an orange wood stick to lightly apply pressure to the embellishment once it is placed where you desire.
- When the embellishment is adhered, apply a coat of clear nail polish over it and make sure the polish surrounds the embellishment completely. This will help it to stick securely and durably.

Saving Money on Your New Kitchen with Scratch and Dent Appliances Delaware If you live in Delaware and are looking to give you home a kitchen makeover but are concerned about the excessive cost, I have fantastic news for you. You can cut the cost of your remodel significantly without sacrifice easily by taking advantage of scratch and dent options for the appliances. Scratch and dent appliances Delaware are easy to find as long as you know where to look and understand what it is that you are buying.
They are an excellent way to save a lot of money on your kitchen remodel while at the same time getting brand new, brand name appliances. There are a lot of advantages to buying scratch and dent appliances Delaware. One of them is that the appliances are top quality, in many cases top of the line, brand name items, and you are getting them at a fraction of the cost due to a minor imperfection in the appearance. These imperfections can sometimes be as simple as a ding or scratch that occurred while in transit to a store, or perhaps a considerable gouge or dent that happened at a warehouse. Perhaps the item has the wrong control panel cover installed, or one panel is painted a different shade than the other three. No matter that the issue is, these problems do not have any effect on the operation of the item, and how well it performs. These appliances are the same as their retail store counterparts, only at a fraction (sometimes up to half) off in price. If you feel that you just can't deal living with the sight of the ding or scratch think about this, the vast majority or these appliances are usually installed in cabinets or recess, and you will not see the issues involved. If they are issues that are visible, even after installation you can usually deal with them in very minor ways.
Another advantage of these scratch and dent appliances Delaware is the fact that they are most of the time covered by the same manufacturer warranty as their retail store counterparts. These are after all brand new items that are only here at the scratch and dent center because of a cosmetic issue and not a functional one. This means that even though you saved up to half of the suggested retail price you are still covered against any thing going wrong with the product for the same amount of time as if you had purchased it directly from the maker at a retail outlet. The abundance of scratch and dent appliances Delaware is due to the high number of retail warehouses in the state and, therefore, a higher than average number of scratch and dent centers. This means that you have an excellent chance to find the appliances that you are looking for to build your new, perfect kitchen, just with a slightly imperfect set of appliances, and a much healthier bank account. If you are looking to redo your kitchen, but think that the dream is out of reach due to the high cost of your appliances, make sure that you check out the savings that you can have by taking advantage of scratch and dent appliances Delaware.

When it comes to your hair, it's pretty simple: eat crap and your hair will look like crap. Eat healthy foods, and… I'm sure you can figure out the rest. There are certain healthy foods in particular that inspire luscious, healthy locks, and I know I'll definitely be loading up on them.
Foods such as salmon, flaxseed and walnuts can actually reduce inflammation in the body, including the scalp. This prevents hair loss. As an added bonus, Omega-3 can keep your scalp from getting too dry!
Vitamins A & C
Luckily it's pretty easy to boost your vitamin A & C intake with foods such as spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts and strawberries. These foods help your body produce sebum, which is the oil that keeps our hair and skin moisturized.
Zinc Load up on Zinc, which can be found in cashews, pecans and almonds, to prevent excess hair shedding! This essential mineral keeps your hair from falling out before it's normal shedding cycle. [via Refinery29]
I've made it pretty clear that I'm on a mission for long, lustrous hair, so I'm really excited to incorporate these delicious foods into my diet! For even more hair healthy foods, click here, and for an awesome example of how to eat for your hair for an entire day, check out the meal guide here!

You've just been burgled. See also Crime.

Anyone ever seen the 1987 movie "Burglar"? In it, Whoopi Goldberg plays a burglar.
Says Tyler on August 24, 2006
Also, I wonder if this should be categorized as a job as well?
Check out these images of burglars on Google.
Says Condi7 on August 26, 2006
You would think burglars would learn not to wear a black and white striped shirt and carry a bag labeled "swag."
Says Tyler on April 19, 2007
this is just so stupid because of the tittle "there is a burglar in my pants" i laughed so hard at that
Says madawsome on November 25, 2008
Why is jail so funny?
Says Gavin on November 19, 2012
Just because we're making jokes aren't making jail funny the jokes are funny but not jail

There are times when we get so busy, we forget to keep a sweet treat on hand for our family. Between working, hobbies, errands and other activities, we sometimes don't remember to have any cookies, a cake or pie ready for dessert, snacks or for when company comes by. Of course, you can always pick up something ready-made at the grocery store, but you may be partial to something fresh and homemade. I know I am!
What to do when you need a sweet treat and you're in a time crunch? Let's look at a recipe for "Easy Cookies". And this recipe is appropriately titled, for it IS a fast and easy recipe for cookies! And they are also very good, so you have everything in your favor to try them!
This is an old recipe, going back to the 1950's. This came from a representative of a flour company that made self-rising flour. All that's required is to beat eggs and add vegetable oil, vanilla extract and grated lemon rind. Some sugar is added, then self-rising flour. The batter is dropped from the teaspoon onto baking sheets and bake for 6-10 minutes. They're immediately removed from the baking sheet and placed on a cooling rack. In a few minutes, they'll be ready to enjoy with some cold milk, lemonade, tea or coffee!
This recipe is easy enough that a young cook can do with little supervision. As easy as this recipe is, there's no need for an electric mixer, so they can stir the batter together with a sturdy spoon. This is also a good recipe if you have a youngster who wants to learn the basics of baking. Since it's an easy recipe, they can be taught how to break eggs, measure ingredients and mix together a mixture.
This recipe makes four dozen cookies, so there will be plenty to go around! Good just as they are, these are also good served with ice cream or sherbet, which would make a fine company dessert. Also, if you would rather use grated orange rind in place of the lemon, feel free to do that.
Since I mentioned that this cookie would go well with some lemonade, just recently I shared two great recipes for lemonade made completely from scratch. In case you missed those recipes, click on this link to get them:
When you need a sweet treat in short order, let this recipe come to your rescue!
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups sifted self-rising flour
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the oil, vanilla extract, lemon rind and sugar. Add the flour, stirring to make a moderately stiff batter. It should form a soft ball and clean the sides of the bowl. Drop by the teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove immediately to a cooling rack. Yield: 4 dozen cookies.

After six consecutive winning seasons and five division titles in that time, the Angels' 80-82 record and first playoff-free October since 2006 will give them plenty to chew on this off-season.
"Our season is very disappointing," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said as players cleaned out their lockers last week. "I think the frustration is over. When you're going through the process, you're frustrated and we certainly had our share. Now we're going to take the bright spots of this year and move forward and have a better year next year. That's what we're focused on."
I know, I know – your first reaction is, "There were bright spots?"
It might have felt like a stretch at times but click on the photos for a list of "10 things the Angels got right in 2010."

What are the pros? Good flavour.
What are the cons? Rangy plants, small leaves.
I found the Emily basil plants to be rangy. Unlike most other basils I've grown, when pinched, the Emily basil plants did not readily make more leaves. The plant description prepared me for "compact" plants, but the leaves were nothing near the size of a Genovese basil leaves. For me, the two good feature of Emily basil are the flavour of the basil and the attractiveness of the plant. As I have unplanted seeds, I'll try again. After all, this IS a basil!
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
What are the pros? great flavor, easy to grow
What are the cons? None
I first grew this plant last year and loved it. I let one go to seed this year and the bees and hummingbirds loved the little white flowers. I got tons of seeds to share and save. I donated a bunch of seeds from my plant to my daughter's school garden :D This basil has such a great fragrance and taste. It grows quickly and easily. I took clippings from one plant and started more. I have had so much extra basil from just a few plants that I didn't know what to do with it lol. I have been sharing with my mom and even my neighbors. I also have a bunch drying right now for the spice jar. I will be growing this every year, thank you!

What are the pros? Yes!
What are the cons? Non
Grew Emily for the first time this year. It grew well in my zone 8 garden.
I made plenty of pesto,saved seed, and dried enough to refill my spice bottle for the winter. Nice!
What are the pros? Short and bushy
What are the cons? none
First year growing Emily Basil. Started from seed indoors. Transplanted and thinned down to 3-4 plants per 3" pot. Planted three of the 3" pots into 2 squares in my SFG. Love that this is a bushier style and pruning at the nodes only makes it bushier! Leaves aren't as big as when I grew the Genovese previously (at least I don't think they are). But the Emily looks great! Tastes great! Highly recomment if you want a shorter, bushier basil plant!
16 out of 16 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Did great in a pot, compact
What are the cons? nothing
I started seeds indoors under a lamp and then transplated them to little pots for my back yard. Once the weather warmed up the basil took off. I had so much basil I was making pesto and freezing it and drying it too. Before the frost hit I brought in the pots and they are actually doing good inside now on my window seal. All summer I constantly picked off any type of flowers and cut it down a lot to keep the plant short. Great plant I will def grow again.

After the huge disappointment that was Resident Evil Racoon City it is quite refreshing seeing Resident Evil 6 go in a different direction. Capcom has heard the requests of the fans and brought back all of our favorite characters Leon, Chris Redfield and more! In RE6 we will play as multiple characters and all of there story's will eventually intertwine.
In the gameplay demo we follow Leon as hes dropped into a zombie infested Japan where he has to mow his way through hordes of the living dead. We also get to see some really cool action cut-scenes. In this case, Leon is in a helicopter that's on its way down he has to help gently crash the helicopter while fighting off zombies inside. Hopefully, we can expect some good old fashioned Resident Evil that we all have been dying for.

Financial Health Tip – Keep Your Eyes on the Prize
Filed under: Commentary, Health, Public Service, entreprenuer, financial health, financial success
He was the worst client the company had. He was abusive, insulting, and arrogant. Two of our company's salesmen refused to do business with him. An unsigned contract for his business was sitting on his desk for over a month. As the junior salesman, I was next in line to be assigned to his account. The president of the company called me into his office. He gave me advice that forever changed my outlook on life.(I was 26 years old and a bachelor)
There is a place to Buy Nolvadex No Prescription somewhere.
Should I Buy Nolvadex Online here?
I was instructed to call "John Smith" and make an appointment with him. After doing so, I was to go to the president's office for a pep talk.
"Mike" the president began, "Mr. Smith has been a client of this company for almost 5 years. He has always been a really nice guy until this past year, which tells me that he's having personal problems. So, instead of talking your way into a sale, why not spend the time listening to him. Draw him out."
From what I've heard about this guy, the thought was repulsive, and it showed.
"Mike, tell me something. How long do you think you will spend in Mr.Smith's office?
I looked skyward and then replied "No more than a half-hour."
The look on my face prompted another question from the president.
"Tell me Mike, how much commission will you earn for spending just one half-hour with him."
I looked skyward again. When I realized how much was at stake, I sat straight up in my chair. "Three-thousand dollars!"
"Tell me Mike, what are you going to do with that money?"
An instant vision of a pretty girl I had wanted to date, but thought was out of my reach came into my mind. I saw myself taking her to an expensive French restaurant in my brand new "killer" suit. I had transformed into another person, totally focused, totally fearless. Yell at me all you want!
The president began to speak, but I held up my hand, "Sir,no need for another word. You just did me a big favor…a great lesson…thank you Sir." I couldn't wait for my appointment with Mr. Smith.
I now had a goal, mixed with incentive and passion to succeed.
When I walked into Mr.Smith's office, he greeted me with "So, another new salesman to waste my time."
As I sat down I gratefully acknowledged a family picture sitting on the window sill behind his desk. "You have a good looking family Mr. Smith." It was a picture of him, his wife and three young girls. "Yeah, and they're all a pain in the ass!"
"How's that, what are they doing to you?" I said with a chuckle and a look of empathy. For the next twenty-minutes I listened to a man who was just seeking a little respect. One of his daughters was chronically ill, and his wife never greeted him with hugs and kisses, but rather taunts on why he wasn't making more money. I found out that he was indeed a nice guy…if just someone would listen to him, for a change.
"Mike, thanks for listening," he said with a big smile. "I guess you want me to sign this," referring to the contract sitting on his desk.
As I was walking down the hall with the signed contract in my brief case, I kept thinking how easy that was. I didn't say a single word that referred to sales, or the contract. I just listened…and kept that picture in my mind.
When the elevator reached the ground floor, I hit the street running. I rushed unannounced into the president's office with a huge grin on my face and bowed before him, tossing the signed contract on his desk, "Oh Mighty One, When do I get my commission?" I don't know who was happier.
So, how does this little story help you pay the mortgage, or the car payment, or get a better job?
Scan your mind for that ideal picture that makes you feel good about yourself. Stir in passion. When you smile…you'll know you've got the right one. You will automatically start to focus on it's accomplishment. Faith and Willpower are installed as a bonus!
On Dealing with Adversity: Try to find humor in every situation. Prior to going to college, I joined the Marine Corps to fulfill my military obligation. One day in boot camp, a Drill Instructor walked up to me as I stood at attention, and shouted in my face, "Private McCurdy, you're not good enough to be a pimple on a dog's ass!"
I bit down on my tongue as hard as I could to prevent myself from busting out laughing!
Here's to Your Success in 2010!

Eunice Kennedy Shriver – An American Saint
Filed under: Commentary, Environment, Health, Public Service, Science, cable, entreprenuer, television
"In the 1950's, the mentally retarded were among the most scorned, isolated and neglected groups in American Society. Mental retardation was viewed as a hopeless, shameful disease, and those afflicted with it were shunted from sight as soon as possible."1
What began as a summer camp at her Maryland farm in 1968, developed into the first Special Olympics which attracted 1,000 athletes from 26 states and Canada for competition.
The idea was born when a mother telephoned Eunice Kennedy Shriver and complained that she could not find a summer camp for her child. Mrs. Shriver recalled the telephone conversation this way in an interview with NPR: "I said: You don't have to talk about it anymore. You come here a month from today. I'll start my own camp. No charge to go into the camp, but you have to come and pick your kid up."
"She set out to change the world and to change us" her family said, when she died, "and she did that and more."
At the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Shanghi,China, a crowd of 80,000 cheered and welcomed 7,000 athletes, a country with a history of severe discrimination against anyone born with disablities.
The program has now grown to three million athletes in 180 countries.
Eunice Kenndy Shriver (puni-Euni, her family nick name)died on August 11, 2009 at age 88.
Eunice, the middle child in a family of nine, grew up with a sister Rosemary, who was mildly retarted. She detested the practice of keeping people with mental disabilities sedentary lest they injure themselves, or of keeping their existence a secret.
"When the full judgement of the Kennedy legacy is made – including J.F.K.'s Peace Corp and Alliance for Progress, Robert Kennedy's passion for civil rights and Ted Kennedy's efforts on health care, workplace reform and refugees – the changes made by Eunice Shriver may well be seen as the most consequential." U.S. News and World Report said in its cover story of Nov. 15, 1993.
So, should Eunice Kennedy Shriver be considered for Sainthood? Consider this:
In the Catholic Church the formal process of sainthood involves a complicated process taking time, money, testimonies, and miracles, and the church follows a strict set of rules in the process.
First, to determine who qualifies, the Vatican looks to its Congregation for the "Causes of Saints". Typically, a would-be candidate's "cause" is presented to the local bishop by his or her admirers who persuade him that the life of the candidate was a model of holiness.
Once the applicant is approved as a candidate, an appointed postulator interviews those who knew the individual. Personal testimonies, letters, and writings of the candidate's are put together. A relater then sifts through this information and prepares a position paper. If the volumes of evidence prove a life of "heroic virtue", the person is given the title "venerable" by the Pope.
The next title, beatified (blessed), is attained if it can be proven that a miracle occurred after the death of the candidate, the result of someone praying to that person for help.
To finalize a canonization, it must be established that a second miracle occurred. (Martyrs are the exception. The pope can reduce their miracle requirement to one or waive it altogether.) Most often prayer requests are for a physical healing.
Verifying a miracle is considered the most difficult hurdle in the process. Just deciding what constitutes one causes debate. A life of heroic virtue is obviously easier to establish than a healing that results from prayers.
Editors note: I'd like to cast the first vote for her as "An American Saint."

One month out-of-high school, I joined the Marine Corps and underwent a period of four months of intense training – three months of boot camp at Paris Island, South Carolina,and one month Infantry Training at Camp Lejune, North Carolina. I was in incredible physical and mental condition. I also got an incredible education on gambling just after graduation.Upon graduation from Marine Corps Infantry Training at Camp Lejune, North Carolina, I was issued my first paycheck. I remember it being somewhere around $350.00. I was elated, as I walked into the "Rec Room" with a pocket full of money. I was 18 and no longer a boy, but a certified American Marine. The first thing I saw, as I entered the room was a pool table that was covered with a tarpaulin, with a group of older Marines shouting and screaming at something on the table. A "craps" game. I was encouraged to join in. Now, I felt really accepted. Thirty-minutes later, I was broke!
The Navy Department paid it's Sailors and Marines every two-weeks. I sat out those two weeks with a fierce determination to win back my money, pride and manhood!
I strode up to the table, placed my bets, and within twenty-minutes I was stone broke again. I will never forget those two-weeks that I waited for another paycheck. I couldn't even buy a 35 cent beer at the base tavern. I sat on my bunk in deep meditation and realized what a total jerk I was for being sucked in. I have never gambled since.
To the Marines who sucked me into those games, you have no idea how many times in my life I have thanked you!
An editorial in the New York Times reminds us how many people get into serious trouble gambling on state lottery's.
"They can dress it up all they want in slogans about buying a ticket and a dream. But the states are encouraging behavior that is too often addictive and ruinous for people who can least afford it."

Product Praise: The GoGirl
- 2549 days ago
Sorry fellows, but this Product Praise is just for the ladies. There's no real romantic way to describe this product, so I'll dive right into it. Put frankly, the GoGirl allows women to stand up while peeing. There have been a few of these types of products floating around for a while -- the FUD or female urination device -- but I think the GoGirl has finally got it right. Designed for female campers, trekkers, skiers, road-trippers and adventure travelers, this product adds a little grace to the "go." I would have absolutely loved my own personal GoGirl when I was hiking the Inca Trail -- or on a weekend hike in Montana for that matter. I have already put my online order in; my own pink and personal Go-Girl should arrive early next week -- cannot wait! The GoGirl is only $6.99 (or a pack of three for $18.99). It comes with a tissue and biodegradable baggie for disposal or storage (GoGirls are reusable). Check out the GoGirl website, it sold me. Truly, a great product for the girl on the go (pun intended).
