Antivirus licensed from award-winning Kaspersky. Powerful advanced firewall. 5GB of hosted online backup. Credit monitoring. Identity protection. Do Not Track. Password management.
Antivirus not 100 percent equivalent to Kaspersky. Advanced firewall features require uncommon expertise. No phishing protection. At maximum sensitivity, detected suspicious behavior in both good programs and bad in our testing.
Bottom Line
Check Point's ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus + Firewall combines antivirus licensed from Kaspersky with a powerful, advanced firewall. But the antivirus occasionally lags behind Kaspersky's own version, and the firewall's advanced features require expertise.
Every antivirus utility needs to protect your computer against viruses, Trojans, ransomware, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers, and every other kind of malware. Some just focus on that task, while others generously pile on additional security features. Check Point ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus + Firewall 2016 ($69.95 per year for three licenses) combines the pro edition of the award-winning ZoneAlarm firewall with a powerful antivirus, as well as a goodly sprinkling of bonus features.
//Compare Similar ProductsCompare
Many security vendors license protection engines from other vendors, but not all of them make good use of the licensed technology. At Check Point, a dedicated team continuously compares the performance of ZoneAlarm's licensed Kaspersky engine with that of Kaspersky Anti-Virus (2016) itself. If there's any discrepancy, they pick up the red phone and dial Moscow.
Check Point ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall 2016 also makes use of the licensed Kaspersky engine, but some of the high-end features aren't enabled. The free edition also has a different appearance, more closely matching that of Check Point ZoneAlarm Free Firewall 2016. In fact, a single click adds antivirus protection to the free firewall.
In the past, I've treated this product as a very limited suite. Given the number of vendors that include firewall, spam filtering, and other high-end features in their nominally standalone antivirus, I'll be treating the ZoneAlarm product as an antivirus from now on. Really, it makes more sense.
The product's main window centers on three big panels labeled Antivirus & Firewall, Web & Privacy, and Mobility & Data. It looks precisely like the main window of ZoneAlarm Extreme Security. The only difference is that suite-specific features are disabled, linked to a page that offers a discount upgrade to the suite.
Lab Tests Lacking
As noted, Check Point has a team working day and night to ensure that this product's capabilities match Kaspersky's. You might think I could just assume ZoneAlarm's lab results would match those of Kaspersky, which gets top marks across the board. But I can't.
For one thing, the labs themselves make it very clear that their tests refer only to the product that was examined. Just because another vendor licenses the same engine, it doesn't mean they'd necessarily get the same results. For another, that team I mentioned actually has work to do—SDK bugs occasionally cause ZoneAlarm to miss a threat caught by Kaspersky. For example, in a test by AV-Test Institute earlier this year, Kaspersky earned a perfect 6 points for protection, while ZoneAlarm got 5.5.
Check Point ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus + Firewall 2016 Lab Tests Chart
ZoneAlarm hasn't appeared in the last couple of reports by AV-Test. In the most-recent test by this lab, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2016 earned a perfect 18 points, with Kaspersky and McAfee AntiVirus Plus (2016) very close at 17.5.
Right now, the only lab that includes ZoneAlarm directly is Virus Bulletin. Of this lab's last 12 tests, ZoneAlarm participated in seven and received VB100 certification in five of those. Kaspersky took VB100 in nine of the 10 tests that included it, and Bitdefnder aced 12 of 12 tests. Bitdefender and Kaspersky earned excellent scores across the board from AV-Test and AV-Comparatives.

Very Good Malware Blocking
Interestingly, in my own hands-on malware blocking tests ZoneAlarm tracked very, very closely with Kaspersky. When I opened my folder of samples, it wiped out the same bunch on sight. When I launched those that survived, it handled them in almost precisely the same way. Both products detected 89 percent of the samples and scored 8.8 points.
Those scores seem to be some kind of sweet spot; McAfee and Panda Free Antivirus (2016) earned precisely the same scores. Bitdefender has the best score among current products, 9.3 points. Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus (2015) earned a perfect 10 when challenged with my previous set of samples.
Check Point ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus + Firewall 2016 Malware Blocking Chart
It's really not surprising that ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky would test the same against my static malware collection. However, I had no idea what to expect in my malicious URL blocking test, since that test always uses the very latest samples supplied by MRG-Effitas.
ZoneAlarm blocked 57 percent of the malware downloads, well above the current average of 40 percent. It whacked most at the URL level, preventing all access by the browser; it also quarantined a handful that made it to the Downloads folder. Kaspersky, tested with a completely different set of 100 URLs, blocked 58 percent—so close! McAfee has the best score in this test, with 91 percent protection.
Phishing protection is not part of the SDK that Kaspersky licenses to other vendors, and Check Point has eliminated the toolbar that provided phishing protection in last year's edition of ZoneAlarm. Just to see what would happen, I ran a single round of my antiphishing test. ZoneAlarm did block a handful of fraudulent websites, but it identified them in the same way it flagged malware-hosting sites. Perhaps they were double trouble, both fraudulent and malicious.

Shared Features
This product shares quite a few features with its own free edition, with Check Point ZoneAlarm Free Firewall 2016, and with premium edition of the firewall. I'll summarize those features here.
All of these products come with 5GB of hosted online backup supplied by IDrive. Yes, you could get the same thing by going directly to IDrive, but perhaps seeing it in your antivirus will encourage you to actually protect your files. For $59.50 per year, the premium IDrive (a PCMag Editors' Choice) offers one whole terabyte of backup.
You can enter personal data into the Identity Lock feature, where it's stored using one-way encryption. Now if ZoneAlarm detects, say, a credit card number about to be sent out over the Internet, it can warn you, or replace the personal data with asterisks. For additional identity protection, you can claim one year of free credit monitoring, supplied by partner Identity Guard.
The installers for this product and the premium firewall both offer to install Abine's Blur privacy tool. The premium edition of Abine Blur costs $39 per year; you get 30 days of premium features, after which it reverts to a smaller (but still useful) feature set. At the free level, Blur includes a simple password manager and a Do Not Track tool that actively prevents ad aggregators from tracking your Internet habits. The useful Masked Emails feature managed disposable email addresses, so you never have to give a merchant your real email. If you start to get spam on a masked address, just delete it!
Advanced Firewall
ZoneAlarm is probably the best-known name in personal firewalls, and the free ZoneAlarm firewall has wide distribution. The current product's firewall protection is identical to what you get in Check Point ZoneAlarm PRO Firewall 2016. It's decidedly more advanced than the free edition, but making use of its high-end features requires a degree of expertise that's not common. Note that those installing ZoneAlarm's firewall or antivirus in a business setting must pay for the premium edition.
All of the ZoneAlarm products successfully fended off port scans and other Web-based attacks, and they also stealthed all of the system's ports. All of them resisted direct attack; I couldn't find any way a malware coder could disable them. This is one tough family of security products.
ZoneAlarm's firewall doesn't attempt to block exploit attacks at the network level. That's a firewall feature found most often in high-end suites like Symantec Norton Security. However, in many cases a suite's antivirus component detects and eliminates the exploit payload, so I put the Antivirus + Firewall product through my exploit test.
When I hit the test system with about 30 exploits generated by the CORE Impact penetration tool, ZoneAlarm's antivirus did indeed rally to its defense. It wiped out payloads for over 40 percent of the attacks, which is better than McAfee and Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 managed in recent tests.
The ZoneAlarm firewall's application control system includes a module called OSFirewall, which monitors suspicious behaviors. For testing, I set the product's sensitivity to maximum. I also enabled advanced Application Control, Application Interaction Control, and Timing Attack Prevention, features not present in ZoneAlarm's free products. Then I tried installing 20 PCMag utilities.
When I ran this test using the free firewall, I found that it popped up from one to four warnings for every single program. Repeating the test with the premium firewall added a few additional warnings, in particular warnings about one program using another to access the Internet. A repeat test using the current product didn't reveal any additional notifications from the antivirus. My advice is to keep sensitivity at the maximum most times, but crank it down a notch when you're actively installing software.
Many premium-specific firewall features just aren't useful to the average consumer. You can create advanced firewall rules, but only if you understand all of the parameters that go into those rules. You can modify the definitions of the Trusted and Public zones, but if you don't know what you're doing you might cause yourself networking and connectivity trouble. The free firewall is a better fit for most consumers.
Good for the Right Audience
ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus + Firewall 2016 combines Check Point's most-advanced firewall with an antivirus engine licensed from award-winning Kaspersky, along with a few other bonus security features. If you're a true firewall expert, it's a great choice. And if you want to install a ZoneAlarm antivirus with firewall in a business setting, it's your only choice.
The advanced firewall features are not so useful to the average user, though, and the licensed Kaspersky engine occasionally falls behind the real thing. You'll probably be better off combining ZoneAlarm Free Firewall with Kaspersky Anti-Virus. Both are Editors' Choice products in their own area, and the combination actually costs less than the ZoneAlarm antivirus plus firewall combo. Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2016 is another possibility for pairing with the free firewall, and McAfee AntiVirus Plus (2016) has its own firewall built in. These Editors' Choice antivirus utilities come with plenty of bonus features, too.

By CRYSTAL NIX HINES
Published: July 5, 2001
Dozens of inmates on death row lack lawyers for their appeals, in part because private law firms are increasingly unwilling to take on burdensome, expensive and emotionally wrenching capital cases, death penalty lawyers say.
The shortage of counsel to help death row inmates file state appeals and federal habeas corpus petitions challenging their convictions and sentences places them at risk of missing crucial filing deadlines, possibly preventing them from raising appeal issues.
The situation has potentially dire consequences, experts say, because two out of three appealed death sentences are set aside because of errors by defense lawyers at trial or prosecutorial misconduct, according to the most comprehensive death penalty study to date, by lawyers and criminologists at Columbia University.
Untimely petitions generally are not reviewed by courts without a compelling claim of innocence.
In a speech before Minnesota Women Lawyers on Monday, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor of the Supreme Court said the problem was one troubling feature of a capital punishment system that she said ''may well be allowing some innocent defendants to be executed.''
Justice O'Connor said defendants with more money got better legal defense.
''Perhaps it's time to look at minimum standards for appointed counsel in death cases and adequate compensation for appointed counsel when they are used,'' she said.
Justice O'Connor is often viewed as a crucial vote on the court between its more liberal and more conservative justices.
''We have a crisis,'' said Elisabeth Semel, director of the American Bar Association's Death Penalty Representation Project, which seeks to find law firms to represent death row defendants.
''Firms can save lives and make a difference and they're not doing enough,'' Ms. Semel said.
There are other reasons for the shortage of counsel, including swelling death row populations and declining government resources to finance public defender organizations.
Nonetheless, Ms. Semel and Lawrence J. Fox, the chairman of the bar association's project and a partner at Drinker, Biddle and Reath in Philadelphia, said many lawyers had told them that increased profit pressures and large raises for associates deterred them from taking the cases.
''They're saying they're paying associates $125,000 a year and can't afford to have someone off spending 1,000 hours on a death penalty case,'' Mr. Fox said.
To pay for 40 percent salary increases two years ago, many firms also raised billable hour requirements, with some firms either ceasing to count pro bono hours as satisfying such requirements or reducing the weight given to nonbillable hours.
''There's no question about it. Law firms are in competition with each other and are expecting, because they are paying increasingly high salaries to associates, for them to work harder,'' said Michael A. Cardozo, a partner at Proskauer & Rose in New York and past president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. ''There are only so many hours in a day.''
Stephen B. Bright, director of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta, said that although he often appealed to lawyers to accept capital cases, firms had been more reluctant since the salary increases.
The situation is most troublesome in Alabama and Georgia, the only two states that do not guarantee counsel to death row inmates after a direct appeal to the highest state court. These inmates largely rely on volunteer lawyers to raise additional claims in subsequent state reviews and federal habeas corpus petitions, in which federal courts examine proceedings in state courts for error.
In Alabama, about 40 of the approximately 185 death row inmates -- some within five months of filing deadlines for state appeals -- do not have counsel, said Bryan Stevenson, executive director of the nonprofit Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama. Mr. Stevenson said his five-lawyer staff had taken on more than 100 death penalty cases, ''which is way more than we should be involved in.''
The seven-lawyer staff of the Georgia Resource Center is juggling 135 capital cases and must decide whether to add 12 more unrepresented inmates, said Thomas H. Dunn, the center's executive director. ''It's embarrassing to have to go out and beg people to take these cases,'' Mr. Dunn said.
The shortage of competent lawyers has taken its toll even in states that guarantee the right to counsel after the initial direct appeal. In Louisiana, at least 10 of about 52 inmates in the appeals process are without lawyers, said Denise LeBoeuf, director of the Capital Post-Conviction Project in New Orleans.
And of the about 600 inmates on California's death row, at least 161 have no lawyers to handle their direct appeals, and 72 others have no counsel for federal habeas corpus petitions, said Robert D. Reichman, automatic appeals monitor for the California Supreme Court. As a result, Mr. Reichman said, some inmates with death sentences dating from 1996 and 1997 have not begun appeals.
Not everyone blames private law firms. Mr. Stevenson said states were primarily to blame for the lack of competent counsel.

One big thing that we want to be able to do on our blog is let people who visit our site and who DO NOT have user accounts on our site be able to post comments on our user's blog.
However, we would like to have a few extra text entry fields so that they would leave some information for our bloggers to get back to them, along with their comment that they would like to leave. Some of these fields would be mandatory.
I've found some custom field plugins, but I cannot find a way to make it so that it ONLY applies to guests and how to make some of them required and some not.
Any help would be appreciated! thank you!!!!!

For some reason there's always a bit of apprehension that simple graphics and simple game play might make for a boring game. You'd think I would know better by now. Geometry Dash has pretty much no fluff, yet I can hardly tear myself away from it each time I start it up. Even the game's one stand out feature isn't implemented particularly well, but I've just learned to enjoy what does work right. I haven't regretted playing Geometry Dash for a single moment, and I just hope that one day I get good enough to beat a couple more of the levels!
Anyone out there tired of iOS gaming yet? Hopefully not which is why you keep coming back here week after week. Disney actually caught my attention this week with their latest original gaming IP Stack Rabbit. Created by the folks that developed the insanely popular Where's My Water?, Stack Rabbit puts an entirely new twist on the match 3 genre that's definitely worth checking out. Speaking of putting a new spin on things, Symmetrain takes the concept of "spot the difference" and tries to turn it into an arcade game. Pay close attention as your train goes zipping past the randomly generated terrain so you can point out the difference between the left and right sides of the landscape as they go whizzing by. If you've ever had a fear of carnival performers, now you can exact revenge with Burn The Lot. This dual stick shooter has you hopping across the galaxy trying to thwart an intergalactic band of carnies that have some evil plan in mind.

I wish I would have had more time to spend with the candidates for this roundup because there were several titles I wanted to look at and just didn't get the chance to fire up. I certainly had a blast with many of the titles I did get to try, though, especially Vampire Ventures. This match 3 game has just about everything you could want from the genre, and my only problem was forcing myself to stop playing the game. If you're more of a strategy buff you really should check out Combat Monsters. This combination of collectable card game and turn based tactical strategy has a lot going for it, and you can dive in for free. On the other hand, those desiring some good old fashioned arcade action need look no further than Ricochet: Retro Space Shooter. This combination of Galaga, Missile Command and Breakout is not quite like anything I've played before on my iOS device.

Backflip Studios has had a number of interesting properties over the years, but for me the most endearing title in their collection has to be NinJump. The game took the infinite runner and turned it on its side as well as introducing the concept of defeating 3 similar enemies in order to temporarily gain a power related to that enemy. The ninja's back, though this time he's headed to the rooftops in what feels just slightly like a more traditional infinite runner. That doesn't make it any less addictive, though, and I fear it might suffer the same fate as the original: removal from my device so I can actually find the time for something else.
The biggest problem I had with the roundup this week was that there were so many games that came out last week that looked interesting I didn't know where to start when it came to testing to see which ones to include. I think I've given you a pretty well rounded list to work off of, though. Some intriguing ones that didn't make it on the list this week include the new adventure game offering Device 6. It's actually kind of hard to tell how this game works, but anything that seeks to reinvent the text adventure sure has my attention. Another one that has me excited is Rabbids Big Bang. This is a great IP, and I'm thrilled to see them in something on iOS devices besides a virtual pet simulator. To round out the intro I'll mention D&D: Arena of War. It's supposedly the first F2P mobile game set in the D&D universe, so if you're a Forgotten Realms fan or just like D&D in general you might want to check it out.
People have not stopped talking about iOS 7, Apple's latest upgrade to the iPhone operating system. Praise, complaints, and traffic-hawking blog posts about iOS 7 began flying around ever since the release of the new Apple operating system a few weeks ago. Along with a completely different look and feel, Apple's hit us with some new features and large improvements to things that weren't all that valuable in iOS 6, but are now going to change the way you interact with your iPhone.

Back when Cube, was rolling with Lorenzo in a Benzo, Sleek was polishing their chrome-trimmed SA6. Under da hood was a single ultra-wide band driver that laughed in the faces of the tubby competition. But times is changing. Sleek has doubled the SA6's ultra-wide band armature count and dropped most of the chrome. Sleek's hard core: the customisable VQ system, the coaxial detachable cable still roll with their shit off safety.
The eve of tricks and treats draws closer and there are certainly plenty of games geared towards the season popping up on the App Store, but that's for another day. The surprise hit from this past week for me was Chef's Story – Time To Cook! This match 3 game is real time multi-player, it makes you collect ingredients in order to develop boosters, and it's quite an addictive affair. A close second was the new platform game published by BulkyPix called Type:Rider. This homage to the history of literature didn't look like much in the iTunes description, but once I started playing I was mesmerized. Of course if you prefer to just blow things up without putting much thought into it, Death Tour is right up your alley. It will take some patience to level up enough so you can make it through the campaign, but there's definitely no shortage of carnage to be found here.

Not too long ago a game called Scurvy Scallywags came out that created a new breed of match 3 hybrids. It was a welcome evolution from everything we'd seen so far, and I was hoping that more games would take the concept and run. Well, not only did Cavemania run with it, the game created its own finish line. Now I'm not trying to say I love Scurvy Scallywags any less, and there are actually a couple of features in that game I like better, but Cavemania has me hooked. I'm really not quite sure what to classify this as yet, but if you had to give it a label I suppose "strategy / RPG / match 3" hybrid would work as well as anything.
Some people don't consider iOS devices real gaming platforms, but since I started writing reviews for my iPod Touch and iPad I barely look back at all the other electronics sitting in my house. The adventure game category is covered when you get first rate releases like The Cave from Ron Gilbert and Double Fine Productions. The master of Monkey Island brings his wit to spelunking with a cast of crazy characters and plenty of oddball puzzles to solve. If you prefer your humor a bit drier and tied to the zombie apocalypse then you might want to give Zombie Apocalift a try. There are still quirky characters, but in this game you have to deal with hordes of undead while trapped in an elevator. If you just want to indulge in a lighthearted puzzle game you should give Happy Hills 2: Bombs Away! a try. This sequel has 160 levels, some new ways to get rid of the blocks and an endless arcade mode for when you want to relax your brain a little.

Waiting for a working 1.1.5 version of the plugin, here's another issue. Same scenario of my previous post, WP and PHP updated to new releases (but the same is with with previous versions...
Admin page options-permalink.php : Default setting is OK, any other setting causes a 500.0 error on this page! More strange, if you reload the page many times, SOMETIMES the page loads correctly.
I tried a clean installation on a test Windows Server using Web Platform Installer and MySQL: no permalink issue. I then installed SQL Server 2012 Express and DB Abstraction plugin, then reconfigured WP site to use both: 500.0 error choosing permalinks other than default!
I don't know where this issue comes from, but it definitely seems to be related to a SQL Server-based WP installation.
Tried different versions of the plug-in: 1.1.4, 1.1.3, 1.1.2, all the same.
I found another user ("ravetroll") experiencing the same issue in this thread so it's not just me.
Someone has any ideas? The rest of WP wite seems to work fine, but the same crash occurs on the whole site with a theme I recently bought that requires permalinks and my client is not happy...

The Early Bird Catches the Sperm
Ecologists from the United States and Germany have discovered that compared with early birds, late risers are more likely to be cuckolded, meaning that they unknowingly end up raising young in their nest that had been fathered by another male.
Warmer Climates May Increase Pesticides' Toxicity in Fish
In a study of the effects of increasing climate temperatures on the toxicity of 3 contaminants in different fish species, researchers found that all pesticides and industrial contaminants studied—endosulfan, chlorpyrifos, and phenol—became toxic in the upper 5oC range of species' temperature tolerance.
More than Two Dozen Articles Provide Insights on Mummies
In a special issue, The Anatomical Record ventures into the world of human mummified remains. In 26 articles, the anatomy of mummies is exquisitely detailed through cutting edge examination, while they are put in historical, archeological, and cultural context. Investigators even take on the thorny issue of ethics as it applies to human remains in general and to the specific case of mummy research.
British Invasion of the Harlequin Ladybird Threatens Other Species
The harlequin ladybird, officially known as Harmonia axyridis, was widely introduced across continental Europe as a way to limit the population of small sap-sucking insects called aphids. While it was never intentionally introduced into Britain, H. axyridis was discovered there in 2003, and people across the region have been tracking its spread since 2005.
How Harmful Male Genitalia Can Impact Reproduction in other Species
Male Callosobruchus chinensis seed beetles have spines on their genitalia, which increase their fertilization success but injure a female's reproductive tract—especially a female of a related species called Callosobruchus maculatus.
Living in Social Groups May Lessen the Impacts of a Chronic Illness in Wild Animals
Living in a social group has many benefits for wildlife but is often assumed to come at the cost of increased disease risk. However, new research on the effects of mange on gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park reveals that infection risk does not appear to increase with the size of the pack. Also, while solitary wolves with mange had a 5-times higher death rate compared with solitary healthy wolves, infected wolves surrounded by five or more healthy pack-mates survived just as well as uninfected wolves. In addition, while the mortality rates of infected wolves increased as more wolves in their pack were also infected, both uninfected and infected wolves still accrued a net survival benefit from living in a social group.
Plant Dispersal Insights May Aid Climate Change Predictions
Explanations for why the same plant groups occur in Australia, New Zealand, and South America have been deeply controversial. By comparing broad patterns of climatic history to age and habitat information for more than 70 plant taxa, or groups, investigators have provided important new insights.

Addressing the Needs of Young Women with Disorders of Sex Development
Disorders of sex development are lifelong conditions that are usually diagnosed at birth or during adolescence. In a recent study of 13 teenaged girls with disorders of sex development, the girls were guarded and reticent about sharing personal information about their disorder during adolescence, but some of them learned to engage in conversations with more confidence as they moved towards adulthood.
Darwin Convinced the World, But Was He the First to Describe Evolution?
A new review of the ideas and work of Patrick Matthew, a little-known antecedent of Charles Darwin, argues that Matthew is under-appreciated even though he described the idea of large-scale evolution by natural selection decades before Darwin did. Some of his ideas were different from Darwin's but are equally valid.
Research Highlights the Importance of "Self-DNA" for Maintaining Diversity among Species
In natural plant communities, diversity is maintained by limits set on each plant by itself. This involves a detrimental effect of self-DNA (DNA from the same species released during decomposition) on the plant's and its offspring's growth. New research finds that this process not only regulates plant populations but may also be generalized to a range of additional organisms including algae, protozoa, fungi, and animals.
New Clinical Platform May Accelerate Discovery of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Agents
Researchers at University of British Columbia have developed a new technology that enables rapid discovery of aptamers, one of the fastest growing classes of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Aptamers are short sequences of genetic material that fold into precise 3-D structures that bind target molecules and inhibit their biological functions.
What Life Was Like for Newborn Giant Sea Lizards During the Age of the Dinosaur
Many scientists have studied fossils from gigantic marine lizards called mosasaurs that lived at the time of the dinosaurs and flourished in ancient seas, but little is known about aspects of their breeding and birth. Investigators have gained new insights from young mosasaur specimens collected over 100 years ago that had previously been thought to belong to ancient marine birds. Their findings are published in Palaeontology.
Newly Discovered Ancient Arthropod Lived Hundreds of Millions of Years Ago
The Burgess Shale Formation, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, is one of the most famous fossil locations in the world. A recent Palaeontology study introduces a 508 million year old (middle Cambrian) arthropod—called Yawunik kootenayi—from exceptionally preserved specimens of the new Marble Canyon locality within the Burgess Shale Formation.

Can Mechanisms Used During Hibernation Help Animals Colonize New Habitats?
Heterothermy, the ability of some animals to lower their metabolism and body temperature, is traditionally seen as an effective adaptation to predictable seasonal bottlenecks of unproductive cold periods. A new review suggests that the use of heterothermy may have been used as a response to acute emergency situations in animals that colonized Madagascar.
Products that Reversibly Change Shape with Temperature May Revolutionize Medicine
New research highlights the capability of reversible shape-memory polymers to change their shape when heated to body temperature and then switch back to their original shape when cooled to room temperature.
What Makes Some Women Able to Resist or Recover Psychologically from Assault-Related Trauma?
In a study of 159 women who had been exposed to at least one assault-related potentially traumatic event, 30% developed major depressive disorder, which may be attributed to self-blame common to survivors of assault. Fewer women (21%) developed chronic posttraumatic stress disorder.

I added some more products to my website, but I don't want them to be on top. I saw how it let me drag/drop products from the product listing but when I arrange it how I want, it won't save that way...it keeps reverting back to the original.
I found under settings that they were arranged by time uploaded...but how do I manually arrange them instead? I want to keep similar items grouped together.

Classmates.com automatically renewed my membership without my knowledge. Their promotional rate for a Gold membership was $9.99. However, in December they charged my Visa $39.00 for the renewal without any notice.
I emailed them and called their customer service representative to ask for a refund and was given the standard company response--blah, blah, blah-- that the account default setting is for "automatic" renewal.
I never was given any kind of written membership confirmation or courtesy reminder of the renewal. In fact, the site appears to have little traffic and seems to produce a lot of spam: "So-and-so is looking for you..."
The blogosphere is filled with many consumer complaints about Classmates.com and news of class action lawsuits. Please spread the word to help stop this scam.

This week I�ve had the pleasure of hanging the photographs for the Tuscarawas County Amateur Photographic Associations annual Photo contest. The Tuscarawas County Center for the Arts has been hosting the show for 10 years and the work just keeps getting stronger. It�s hard to believe that these great pieces come from �amateurs�.
Ninety seven photographs were submitted for judging this year in two categories; Color & Black & White. From the submissions a jury of professional photographers selected �Best of Show� awards in each category. Susan Cramer Stein took the honors in �Color� with a work titled �Victorian Christmas� which she shot last November at the Reeves Home. Tony Contini�s �Black & White� photograph titled �Downtown New Philadelphia, Ohio� depicts the �Welcome to Our City� sign high above the night streets. Both are wonderful works of art.
Ribbons were also awarded to ten additional photos and all of the entries are on display in the arts center gallery until January 25, when photographers will be recognized at a public reception from 2 � 4 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend the reception or just to stop in and view the display�you won�t be disappointed. www.tuscartcenter.org

As you learn to leave alone the activity of unconsciously trying to be the mindbody that you think that you are - the mindbody that this "you" is currently flowing through - and you learn to move as this one that you truly are - this "you" of you; the very heart of existence - steadily, consciously and momentarily, the continuity of the ever deepening of this innermost as it keeps on entering its manifestation, through this mindbody that you find yourself flowing through, allows you to simply bubble in the sheer joy, pleasure, peace, delightfulness and stillness that this "you" of you is.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Last week (Tuesday the 15th of April) an installer arrived and, after some 4 hours, finally had the sattelite installed and "apparently" working.
From the beginning I found the connection slow and inconsistent (we were on a 1500kbps home pro plus plan) but found it to be better than dialup but no where near the stated speeds claimed by Hughes.net.
Around 7 hours after having the sattelite installed, my wife and I went back on the internet to discover that we could not connect to anything and continually received "SATTELITE IS BEING BLOCKED" error messages. I immediately contacted Hughes Technical Support to ascertain what the problem was and got through to an "out of country" person who I could barely understand. This person (a supposed technician) continually placed my call on hold while he (and I quote) had to check his trouble shooting guides. Eventually a number of changes were made to my connection resulting in everything being WORSE than when I first called. Finally I was put through to a LEVEL 3 Technician who spoke english and was based in the US.
After spending around 2 hours on the phone with this Level 3 Tech he informed me of a number of issues, all relating to the installation of the satellite. Firstly, we were installed at the incorrect mhz of 990 instead of 1190 (which may explain the slowness); that our signal strength was only 15 and fluctuating instead of being at the normal of 56/57 and finally, that an error message stating that the sattelite had nto been locked in came up.
Obviously these problems are all related to the installation and Hughes net did arrange for the installatioin to be corrected (we are still waiting for that to happen by the way).
These problems were all identified within 8 or 9 hours of the sattelilte being installed and reported to Hughes.net within the sme time frame; HOWEVER, Hughes had already taken the payment for the satellite and installation depsite it NOT WORKING at the time or any other time since then. Hughes.net has refused to refund the money and ONLY claimed they will offer a CREDIT on the service DEPSITE THEIR 30 DAY MONEY BACK POLICY. They have also claimed that they cannot control the installation process, alluding to them not being responsible for it.
As of todays date, we staill have no Hughes.net and Hughes still has our money ($550 approx).
I had heard and read stories about Hughes.Net's technical support and customer care and VERY FEW of them were positive. I take a lot of such reports with a grain of salt but am now inclined to believe that Hughes.Net is only intersted in one thing - getting your money and running so to speak.
Hughes.Net appears to not want to held accountable for anything once they have your money and appears to "palm" responsibility onto everyone else. They refuse to refund in accordance with theri policies and they offer NO effectual after sales support.
In conclusion - buyer beware, if you have an alternative, use it. Hutghes.Net cannot be trusted and should not be trusted at this point

Granola Banana Pancakes with Cinnamon Honey Butter
Do you know, most of my childhood I grew up thinking I didn't like pancakes. I loved french toast (some day I'll have to share my secret to the best french toast you've ever had), and big fluffy Belgian waffles dripping in strawberries, all the way down to a frozen waffle with a dribble of Mrs. Butterworths. But NOT pancakes.
I guess my mom was never a fan, because I don't remember her making homemade pancakes….but I DO remember staying over night with a friend who's mom made us whole wheat pancakes for breakfast (before eating healthy was cool)….and I distinctly remember feeding them to the dog under the table, and a few bites went into my napkin.
Well, I don't remember when I gave pancakes a try again, but I know I was an adult, and they are now something I enjoy and cook quite often for my own family, whether they're spooky pumpkin pancakes, low cal fiber pancakes, or even just quick shake 'n pour pancakes. I like them all!
Today's post, was inspired while in beautiful Park City for Evo Conference last month, when I had pancakes for for breakfast at The Canyon's First Track Cafe. They were SO good in fact, that I had them twice! I knew once I got home, I need to recreate them for my family! {ok, so maybe I did it selfishly for myself….but I DID share with the whole family}
A perfect lazy Sunday morning breakfast! (or dinner), served with cinnamon honey butter is the "finishing touch". It's quick and easy to make, so I recommend you don't skip it!
When I saw AshleyAnn's buttermilk pancakes, I knew that's what I needed to start with.
Summary: Even more delicious when served with cinnamon honey butter.
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups flour (to thicken)
- 2-3 large bananas sliced
- 1 cup granola
- In large bowl mix egg and milks and oil until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk baking soda, baking powder and sugar. Add to wet ingredients.
- Add flour a little at a time, until batter is runny, but not watery (I used about 2 cups maybe a little less) don't over mix (lumpy batter is desired).
- Heat griddle or pan to 350° (or medium).
- Grease with a little butter or no stick spray.
- Add 1/4 cup batter to preheated pan, for each pancake (don't over crowd).
- Sprinkle each pancake with granola and top with banana slices.
- Cook for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes before carefully flipping.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately with cinnamon honey butter and maple syrup.
*If you don't have buttermilk on hand, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and let sit 5-10 minutes.

Who could have made granola banana pancakes? Ofcourse you! Such a genius idea and they look so freaking gooood.
We make pancakes fairly often here, using a buttermilk recipe I got from a friend a long time ago. It's pretty similar to yours, except I always add some cinnamon – and then vary it with different added fruits. Different every time, but always delicious. Yours sound super yum with the granola & bananas. And HONEY BUTTER – my favorite kind of flavored butter!
I have a favourite pancake that is made with apples and cinnamon and leftovers can be safely frozen and thrown in the toaster when the craving hits.
These banana pancakes are making me crave for breakfast for dinner tonight. Seriously Cheryl, they look awesome!
wow. these look so good!!! I might be looking at breakfast for dinner 🙂
I love this concept! Pancakes, bananas, and granola. WHat a great way to start the day!
I have a pancake recipe that uses apples and cinnamon, it is delicious and the best part is that you can safely freeze any leftover cooked pancakes and just pop in the toaster when you want them again. These banana pancakes I've never tried before but your pictures are making me want to have breakfast for dinner!
Cheryl, Your pancakes look amazing, and the cinnamon honey butter is a MUST TRY! I really like chocolate chip pancakes, but I sure want to try the gingerbread pancakes. I'm sure I would love them!
BTW, I used the napkin trick many times as a kid:)
I cannot wait to try these, they look like pancake perfection!
from one pancake lover to another…these look delish(and I don't even like bananas and I want these)!

just a little fyi:
I really was "turned off" by the ad on your blog for cable sweaters. It kept flashing alternate pics of a young girl laying on a bed, and seemed entirely inappropriate. It just didn't seem to go with your blog, and just kept flashing as I tried to read the recipe. Just some "food" for thought.

Such an observation hits home when your "Carol" has been staged for 37 consecutive years. But as four different adaptations and 10 different Scrooges attest, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's "Carol" hasn't survived that long by standing still. »Read Full Article

The title of this tour should be changed to St. Marks Cathedral tour as this is what the tour was about...and very good at it too. Unfortunately we did not tour or discuss the square which has a different history and story. I will use this tour company again as the tour and ease of signing up is easy but would call ahead when possible to confirm the content.

Custom Setting C4 (page 215) allows the setting of display off delay.
>Why is this not a better image?<
More importantly, what don't you like about this image that makes you ask us what can be done to make it better?

For the picture, normally you will need to do some sharpening after changing its size.
If you are looking to do little to no post processing on the pictures, you will probably need to turn up the processing settings in the camera (contrast, sharpening, saturation). However, your best results are normally received by turning down the camera settings and doing them all during post processing on your computer.

I don't know how much you have cropped? It could be the best, if is a large crop. A killdeer is a medium to smallish bird. The best shots I have gotten of them have been close and when they were on the ground.
I noticed that you were using an F-stop of 6.3. I have found that it is very hard to get good clean sharp shots of flying birds at 6.3 and below. Most telephoto lens are best at F/8-11. That is where I tend to be with BIF shots. It gives you more DOF and a better chance of getting the little fellow sharply in focus.
You may receive more and better advice by posting the image in the wildlife forum. Many of them have years and years of experience with BIF.

Ghost Lecture at the River Vale Library
"Is YOUR House Haunted?"
October 2 at 1 PM (Free Lecture)
Many people tell me that they think there may be a ghost in their home. Is it your imagination, or do you really have an unseen guest lurking about? I will be giving a free lecture on this chilling topic at the River Vale Library on October 2nd.
During this presentation, I will be discussing how many older homes (and some newer ones) have resident spirits and, how working as a medium, I go about determining if a house has a "presence" or not. A slide presentation will accompany my lecture featuring some of the many haunts I have investigated over the years. Come join me in River Vale and find out everything you ever wanted to know about ghosts, but were afraid...

Channeling Dinner at the '76 House
October 8 at 7 PM
Tickets $80 (plus tax and gratuity)
One of America's oldest taverns (built in 1668) the Old '76 House is also one of my favorite places to host a Channeling Dinner. The food is great and the setting is historic, beautiful and haunted. A great venue for a late October event!
A delicious fall buffet dinner will be served which includes a selection of beer and wines. After dinner, I will walk around the room and channel for the group. I cannot channel for every person and do not promise to get to every table, but I will try to read as many energies coming through as I can in the two hours that I will channel after dinner. Channeling is very exhausting and at these larger events, there will always be more spectators than participants. However, you never can tell when your friends or loved ones from the Other Side may be joining you for dinner! I hope you can join me.
Please call the 76 House for tickets at 845-359-5476 | visit them online.
Channeling Dinner in Cape May at the Grange Restaurant Sponsored by Historic Cold Spring Village
October 10 at 7 PM $75 per person
Historic Cold Spring Village is the perfect setting for an October Channeling Dinner. Historic Cold Spring Village (HCSV) is a open air living history museum that invites all visitors to find meaning, pleasure, relevance, and inspiration in the exploration of southern New Jersey's past. The 30-acre Village was founded by Annie and Joe Salvatore who have been saving, relocating and restoring historic buildings to this site over the last 40 years.
The Grange Restaurant, which sits at the head of the village, will be serving a wonderful dinner, followed by me channeling for about two hours. Not everyone is read at these larger events, but energetically, it is a great experience for both spectators and participants. Seating is LIMITED. $75 per person.
For tickets please call: 609-898-2300 Ext 10, Sarah Grady. | Visit HCSV online.
Channeling Dinners in Ipswich, MA

Last year's Halloween-week events that I hosted at the Hermitage were wildly popular and tickets sold out quickly! This October, I am returning to the Hermitage for three nights of special ghostly events including the frightfully popular "Midnight at the Hermitage."

My mistake, I should have checked the account EVERY month, regardless of weather I used it or not. I have used the card for several months since then and have paid my card in full (as I always do to avoid paying finance charges), on time without ever going over the limit. I never received any notice by mail or by e-mail that there was a problem with my account. I couldn't understand the lady I was speaking to on the phone and she was having a hard time communicating with me so, I ask to speak with a supervisor. I explained to him, that I had been a good customer and that I didn't agree with Aspire canceling my card.
After unsuccessfully trying to communicate with Peter, the supervisor, I asked for the number to the corporate office. Peter told me that there was no number. I asked for the address and all he could tell me was that it was in Atlanta Georgia. I asked where his office was located and he said INDIA !!!! Are you freaking kidding me ? INDIA ? How on God's green earth can you give your customers good "Customer Service" when the customer service department is on another continent? No wonder I couldn't understand them ... no wonder they couldn't help me.
So I have come to the conclusion that Aspire Visa is a company in trouble and will most likely go out of business like a lot of other banking/financial institutions. I assume that they weren't making any money off of me on finance charges so I was nothing more than an expense to them. They obviously don't want "good customers" they want you to stay behind and pay finance charges and late fees. That is how they make their money.
My feelings aren't hurt that I was canceled ... we could all do with one less credit card now days. The problem that I have is that now, my credit report will show that the account was closed by Aspire and not by me! What can I do to protect my credit from this scam?
