Jonah Green
We're standing in front of a dozen news cameras, doing what political families do on primary day. My father, the front-runner in the race to become mayor of New York, leaves the polling booth to a frenzy of camera shutters. We can't help be giddy -- to me, then 17 years old, it feels as if we're the center of the universe.
Two hours later, two planes slam into the Twin Towers.
OFF THE RECORD tells the story of that strange election and how, with the attacks of 9/11, the rise of billionaire Michael Bloomberg and sudden sainthood of Rudy Giuliani -- elements which obliterated the known political landscape -- Mark Green, my father, lost.
Given my unusual access to the candidate, the story is told mostly over the Green dinner table, over his shoulder at public events and in the schleppy comfort of our home. The film offers a candid glimpse into what really goes on behind the scenes and the headlines in a political campaign.
Campaigns can be thrilling for all those involved -- the camaraderie of the staff, the glare of the media, everything charged with urgency and purpose -- but clawing your way to victory can also be overwhelming, stressful and nasty. The 2001 mayor's race was all of the above.
I'm re-releasing this ten years after its original air date because, as the Bloomberg era comes to a close, it's valuable to see how it all began. In many ways Bloomberg's been a good mayor and ambassador for the city, including his initiatives on public health and gun control. But the way he gained his position -- spending $74 million of his own money, the most expensive campaign ever per vote -- is often underplayed.
No, this film is not an unbiased representation of the 9/11 election. On the contrary, it's deeply personal in a way that any family's story would be under the circumstances -- the horror of the attacks, the dismay of defeat. In a larger sense, it could have easily been about Freddy Ferrer or Al Gore, or any other runner-up who falls tantalizingly short.
OFF THE RECORD originally screened at the 2003 Hamptons Film Festival and went on to air on the Sundance Channel for years afterwards. I am posting this for non-profit, educational purposes only. Please share this film and leave any comments below.
Appearances by (in order):
Mark Green, Deni Frand, Jonah Green, Jenya Green, Fernando (Freddy) Ferrer, Alan Hevesi, Peter Vallone, Michael Bloomberg, Al D'Amato, Ralph Nader, David Dinkins, Bill Bratton, Russel Simmonns, Adam Nagourney, Robert Kennedy Jr., Eric Adams, Andrew Rasiej, Andrew Kirtzman, Warren Beatty, Jon Bon Jovi, Blake Zeff, Rudy Giuliani, Stephen Green, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chevy Chase, Eliot Spitzer, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Terry Mcauliffe, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy

You know, as an architect of the Bush presidency, Karl Rove's never impressed me much. He's never been able to craft a mandate or even deliver a convincing electoral win, and steering a below-average President to the lowest approval ratings in modern history is the sort of achievement that doesn't seem to be far beyond the reach of the average farm animal. But if there's one thing that Rove is an absolute genius at, it is taking the sorts of premises which, if most people spoke aloud - or even thought - would cause our heads to explode in a fiery, white-hot burst of pain and divine retribution, and being able to voice them himself without causing any recognizable damage to the poisonous yogurt sloshing around inside his cranial cavity.
Behold Rove at his best, discussing the flag lapel pin issue, and suggesting - believe it or not - that the Democrats are PERSECUTING people who choose to wear such pins. It is, really, really, amazing.
WALLACE: Let me ask you about that. Some liberal commentators say that Clinton has been using the Rove playbook going after Obama on values like guns and religion. Does what you have heard from her last week sound familiar?
ROVE: Well it's not what I would have done. There are democrats who are troubled by some of the things that Obama says and why she has not made this an issue earlier, particularly framing it up as an issue that would be raised in the general election and what's his answer now has eluded me. For example, he very early on made the comment about true patriotism consists not of wearing a flag lapel pin but speaking out on the issues. You can be a true patriot and speak out on issues AND wear a flag lapel pin. He sort of questioning the patriotism of people who might put on a flag lapel pin, but disagree with his opinion.

GENDERED COMMUNICATION PRACTICES Communication between men and women can be like cross cultural communication, prey to a clash of conversational styles Deborah Tannen (1990)
WOMENS SPEECH n For Most Women Communication is: n to establish and maintain relationships n conversation is for sharing and learning about others n Talk is the essence of relationships
EQUALITY n Equality between people is generally important n try and achieve symmetry n often match experiences –youre not alone in how you feel –Ive done the same thing many times n respond and build on each others ideas –Rather than you-tell-your-idea- then-Ill-tell-mine, voices weave together to create conversations.
SHOWING SUPPORT n Often express understanding & Sympathy –Oh, you must feel terrible –I think you did the right thing –I really hear what you are saying
RELATIONSHIP LEVEL n Focus on feelings n Focus on relationship between communicators rather than content n often probe to understand feelings –Tell me about what happened? –How did you feel when it occurred? –Do you think it was deliberate? n Content is dealt with but also feelings involved.
CONVERSATION MAINTENANCE n Womens style is conversational maintenance work n efforts to sustain talk n often initiate topics for others –How was your day –Tell me about your meeting –Did anything interesting happen on your trip
INCLUSIVITY n RESPONSIVENESS n usually respond in some fashion n verbally and nonverbally more engaged n make other feel valued and included
PERSONAL, CONCRETE STYLE n Typical of women's conversation are personal disclosures details anecdotes concrete reasoning
TENTATIVENESS n Verbal Hedges I kind of feel you may be overreacting n Qualifiers Im not the best judge of this, but... n Keep Talk Provisional, Tag questions that invite response That was a pretty good movie, wasnt it? We should get out this weekend, dont you think?
MENS SPEECH n Goal of talk is exerting control, preserving independence, and enhancing status. n Conversation is the arena for proving oneself & negotiating prestige.
Mens Speech n General Tendencies n Use talk to establish and defend personal status and ideas n When comforting, they do so by respecting others independence and avoiding condescending
SHOW KNOWLEDGE, SKILL, OR ABILITY n Avoid disclosing personal information that might appear weak or vulnerable e.g., someone expresses concern about a relationship with a boyfriend –The way you should handle that is... –Dont let him get to you. –You ought to tell him....
ADVICE n Tendency to give ADVICE n Instrumental - not feeling, but rather what you should do n Superiority - Maintain control n Men see as give and take, Women as lack of concern
INSTRUMENTALITY n Instrumentality - The use of talk to accomplish instrumental objectives n Men socialized to do things, achieve goals n In talk this is expressed as problem-solving, getting information, facts, suggesting solutions n This focus on content works between men n Show support in ways learned to do so - solve the problem.
CONVERSATIONAL DOMINANCE n Men tend to dominate conversations - talk more than women n Talk more frequently n For longer duration n Select topic of talk Interrupt more Men interrupt to control conversation Women interrupt to show interest, affirm
ABSOLUTE, ASSERTIVE TALK –Language tends to forceful, direct, authoritative –Less use of hedges and disclaimers
ABSTRACT TALK n Speak in general terms n Fewer concrete experiences n More distanced from personal feelings n Works best in Public situation where theoretical & conceptual, talk is appropriate
LESS RESPONSIVE n More minimal response cues n Less sympathy and self- disclosure Sympathy seen as sign of condescension Personal problems seen as vulnerability
Talking about Troubles n Woman disappointed in not getting job –Man says, You shouldnt feel bad. Lots of people dont get jobs they want She thinks, he belittles her experience He thinks, he is showing respect by bolstering her independence
Talking about Troubles, Cont. n Man disappointed is not getting job –Woman says, Are you okay Whats bothering you? He thinks this points out his vulnerability She probes to show she cares
RELATIONSHIP TALK n WOMEN n Its going fine if there is talk n Talk is a process to sustain relationship n Talk is a way to show closeness –We need to talk, to affirm our caring n MEN n Its going fine if there is no need to talk n Talk is to solve problems n Talk indicate a problem –Duck when she say, we need to talk
GENDER QUESTIONNAIRE n Men talk more than women. T/F nTnT n Men are more likely to interrupt women than they are to interrupt other men. nTnT n Women tend to confront problems more directly and are likely to bring up the problem first. nTnT
Questionnaire, cont. n During conversation men spend more time looking at their partner than women do. nFnF n Women are more alert to nonverbal cues than men are. nTnT n Groups that use the male style of sticking to the task get more work done. nFnF n In general men and women talk about the same things. nFnF n Women use less personal space than men do. nTnT n When a man speaks, he is listened to more carefully than a woman, even if the presentation is identical. nTnT
Questionnaire, cont. n In general women speak in a more tentative style than men do. nTnT n Women are more likely than men to disclose personal information. nTnT n In general men smile more often than women. nFnF n Women are more likely than men to answer questions that are not addressed to them. nFnF n Women and men are equally emotional when they speak. nTnT n Men appreciate jokes more than women. nTnT

Marco Rubio Voted No on Fiscal Cliff Bill
On the first ay of the brand new year, the House voted 257-167 to approve the Senate bill that would avoid major tax hikes and spending cuts and keep us all from falling over the so-called "fiscal cliff," which would've been a terrible way to start 2013.
The GOPers wanted to amend the Senate's bill with $330 billion in spending cuts, but they didn't have enough votes. So, led by Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Paul Ryan (remember him?), alas, they voted on the agreement.
And then there's our very own Charisma Boy! Marco Rubio, who decided to vote against the bill, solidifying himself as Tea Party Main Man Number One and also setting himself up for a run at the top come 2016.
Rubio joined other Tea Party favorites -- and Election Day losers -- Rep. Allen West and Rep, Connie Mack IV in voting "No" on extending the Bush tax cuts on household income under $450,000.
Rubio released a statement on his website, kind of sort of explaining his reasons:
"I appreciate all the hard work that went into avoiding the so-called 'fiscal cliff'. I especially commend Senator McConnell's efforts to make the best out of a bad situation. Nevertheless, I cannot support the arrangement they have arrived at. Rapid economic growth and spending reforms are the only way out of the real fiscal cliff our nation is facing. But rapid economic growth and job creation will be made more difficult under the deal reached here in Washington.
"Thousands of small businesses, not just the wealthy, will now be forced to decide how they'll pay this new tax and, chances are, they'll do it by firing employees, cutting back their hours and benefits, or postponing the new hire they were looking to make. And to make matters worse, it does nothing to bring our dangerous debt under control.
"Of course, many Americans will be relieved in the short term that their taxes won't go up. However in the long run, they will be hurt when employers pass on to them one of the largest tax hikes in decades. Furthermore, this deal just postpones the inevitable, the need to solve our growing debt crisis and help the 23 million Americans who can't find the work they need."

And so it goes with Tea Bag Main Man Number One and his awesomely awesome-sounding words and phrases!
Sounds fantastic. But Rubio doesn't get into the hows and whys those fancy words would actually work and avoid bringing back another recession. Only that raising taxes is a bad, terrible, no-good thing.
The only real answer is, of course, POLITICKS.
Rubio wants that nomination in 2016, and one way to get it is to throw a bone or two to the tea baggers who will no doubt be up in arms about the bill passing, because of DON'T TREAD ON ME! reasons.
So, do nothing, throw out a news release saying a whole lotta nothing, and call it a day.
Well played, Charisma Boy! Well played.

Discussion in 'Photography' started by No_Duff, May 19, 2012.
The heart of the site is the forum area, including:
Stuff soon to be on EBay
Love those cameras - superb bits of engineering, and well ahead of their time. Would be very interested apart from the screech when you take a photo - sounds expensive to fix.
For a while now I've been thinking about breaking out my old Pentax ME Super. See how it fares against digital.
I did a quick google and found this The Canon Squeal
Always liked those. Only someone elses money steered me towards Nikon F3s. When the T90s arrived one sodden wet day (of which there were many) an old friend came running and asked if I had a spare. He had one of the T90s and there was a wavy line in the viewfinder and the word help. They didn't like water.
Don't remember the F3 or the A1 suffering like that
I gave my old SLR Minolta plus lenses away to an A Level photography student. Couldn't find a buyer for it to be honest! Still have the Canon EOS 100D and the Zenith TTL... The Zenith is a marvel of Russian 1980s engineering!
Does the viewfinder LED work properly, or does it blink?
BTW, found some interesting You Tube vids on the 'squeel' - looks a bit tricky to remedy.
Looking through the viewfinder all that I get is shutter speed and aperture displayed.
When the A1 is turned on, if you push the on/off button a red light by the wind on lever blinks rapidly, I believe that that indicates the battery strength, fast blink good battery/slow blink replace battery.
I've found the manual and there is no mention of a LED that blinks in the viewfinder.
Separate names with a comma.

But he has admitted that he was taken to Swindon's Great Western Hospital after suffering "poisoning" at his Wiltshire home.
"If I hadn't been on a life support machine I'd have been in Ireland, but my heart stopped," he said in an interview with NME. Doherty, who missed Babyshambles shows in Dublin, Belfast and Galway, said drugs were not involved.
The musician, who has been fitted with an implant to keep him off heroin and cocaine, said he became ill at his home in Marlborough, but remembers little.
"It was a really strange turn of events. Obviously, their [the doctors'] immediate thought was that it was to do with drugs, but it wasn't — it was some kind of poisoning," he said. "What happened? Well, I don't know, I don't remember. I thought I was a taxi driver offering to take everyone to Elephant and Castle. I was running into the walls, making steering wheel signs with my hands. And then I just stopped. My body just stopped.
"I woke up and the doctors were asking Do you know your name?'. I said Yeah, Peter.' And they said Do you know where you are?'. I said Well, I'm in a hospital.'. It was like 20 Questions."
Doherty — who goes on a British tour with Babyshambles next month — said doctors had given him the all-clear, but added: "They're concerned about my heart rate."
The full interview is in this week's NME, on sale tomorrow.

How To Create Superior Landing Pages That Convert Cold TrafficFriday, February 10, 2017 by Kevin WoodConverting cold traffic into warm leads and eventual customers can be quite the difficult process. After all, cold visitors don't know what your website is about, and aren't familiar with anything you're doing. One of the best methods to transform this traffic into new subscribers is through utilizing the power of a landing page. However, not just any landing page will do. You need a landing page that's properly optimized to address the concerns of your audience in such a way they literally can't wait to hand over their email address. Below we cover a few central elements that every high converting landing page needs to have to be effective. Ready? Let's dive in.
You Truly Need a Compelling OfferToday's web users are more inundated with information than ever before. They're also bombarded with popups and dozens of requests to enter their email information. Because of this people have become more defensive over exactly who they allow into their inboxes. One of the most effective ways around this is to create a downloadable opt-in offer your visitors can't refuse. Your opt-in offer should speak to a deep need, or underlying problem they haven't been able to solve. However, make sure the problem you're addressing isn't so large, that you can't deliver on the promise inside your downloadable PDF.
5 Must-Have Landing Page ElementsOnce you've solidified your offer your visitors can't wait to get their hands on you're going to build a page around that offer. Below we highlight some of the must-have elements you'll want to feature on your page.
1. A Benefits-Oriented HeadlineOne of the most important elements of your page is your headline. This is the first thing people are going to read, and it needs to grab their attention immediately. Your headline needs to be clear and speak to the exact need you're going to be solving for them.
2. A Relatable VideoRecent research has continually shown that pages with video tend to convert higher than those who don't. Is it an absolute necessity? No. But, think about it this way. When a visitor lands on your website for the first time they have no idea who you are, so a video will allow them to connect in a deeper way. A video can even help to convince the reader to enter their email address, as it can be a lead in to the full solution you're presenting in your downloadable offer.
3. "Less Salesy" Page ElementsSometimes, a landing page can feel a bit too much like a sales page, which can put pressure on your reader. To create a more relaxed environment you could consider adding the little sidebar share buttons to your page. This will make it seem more like a blog post, and could also lead to some social shares and more traffic for you.
4. Easy to See Signup BoxesYour signup box needs to clearly stand out from the rest of your page. If your page does include a video, then include the box directly below the video, with a reference to the location of the signup box in the video. If you don't have video, or you have a longer landing page, then consider adding the signup box to multiple locations throughout the page.
5. A Clear and Compelling CTAYour call-to-action is equally as important as the headline. It's what's going to make the visitor input their email into the signup box. It doesn't have to be spectacular, but it should be very clear. Think of it as explicit instructions telling your visitor what to do next. Don't be afraid to spell it out for them. Vague call-to-actions will only leave your reader feeling confused, unsure of what to do next.
ConclusionTurning cold traffic into email subscribers is time well spent, especially if you receive large amounts of new traffic to your site on a regular basis. By implementing the tips above you'll be on your way to building a high converting landing page that your visitors love.
How to Transfer From Blogger to WordPress In 6 StepsTuesday, February 7, 2017 by Kevin WoodBlogger is a great free tool for those just getting started online. But, if you're starting to take your online efforts seriously, then you're probably going to run up against the limitations of the platform rather quickly. If you've made the decision to switch from Blogger to WordPress, then you probably don't want to lose all of the content you've created thus far. That's exactly why we created this guide. Read on to learn how to switch from Blogger to your new self-hosted WordPress site.
The Limitations of BloggerBlogger can be a great tool for people just getting started with blogging. In fact, it's one of the most common beginner blogging platforms out there. But, if you're taking your online presence and website seriously, you'll probably reach a point where you'll want a little more control. One thing that Blogger lacks is customization options. Even if you do manage to turn a profit with your blog, you run the risk of a third-party being in control of your work. If you want to grow your website and turn it into a full-time business, then you're going to need the level of customization and control that WordPress provides. But, if you already have a lot of content on your Blogger blog, then you probably want to take it with you. We show you how in the steps below.
Transferring from Blogger to WordPressWhen making the transfer you probably don't want to lose any hard earned rankings or traffic. The steps below will help you easily migrate your site without the usual headache.
1. Get a New HostBefore you make the switch you'll need to purchase web hosting and a domain name. So, only move forward once you have those setup. You'll also need to install WordPress on your domain. This quick post will show you how to do that (assuming you're hosting your new site with HostGator). Don't worry, it only takes a few minutes.
2. Export Your Blogger SiteThe first actual step in the import is going to be exporting your current Blogger site. To do this, login to your Blogger dashboard and navigate to Settings>Other. On this page click on the Back Up Content button under the Import & Back Up section. Save your backup to a safe location on your computer. This file will be saved in a .xml format.
3. Import via WordPressNow, we're going to login to your brand new WordPress site and import all of the Blogger data you just downloaded. To do this, login to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Tools>Import. You'll notice one of the options is Blogger. Click on it. If you haven't used this feature before, then you'll need to click Install Now to activate this feature. Once this is installed you'll notice an option called Activate Plugin & Run Importer. Click on that. Now all you have to do is upload your .xml file from Step 2. After this finishes running through, you'll need to assign an author to all of the imported posts.
4. Switch Over Your PermalinksYour permalinks are how your URLs are structured. Since you've imported all that content from Blogger we want your URL structure to mimic that as closely as possible. To do this navigate to Settings>Permalinks. Select the box that says Month and name. This is the closest we can get to mimic the structure of your Blogger posts.
5. Redirect From Blogger to WordPressNext we're going to redirect your blogger site to your new WordPress site. We'll need to do this on a site-level and on a per-post basis. This will ensure everyone visiting your Blogger site will land on the correct page on your new WordPress site. We recommend using the help of a plugin to handle your Blogger redirects. To do this install the plugin called Blogger 301 Redirect. Activate this plugin on your existing WordPress site and follow the instructions to get this plugin up and running. Finally, we're going to redirect your RSS feed to your new WordPress feed. To do this, navigate to Settings>Other within your Blogger dashboard. Click on Add next to the Post Feed Redirect URL section. Now, add the URL of your current WordPress feed.
6. Import Your ImagesSometimes, not every image will get transferred over to your new site. To remedy this, all you have to do is find the original images. Once you've downloaded the originals navigate to Media>Add New within your WordPress dashboard. Then you can drag and drop the images that got left out, and add them to the relevant posts and pages. Migrating from Blogger to WordPress isn't difficult, but it does take time. Once you've done the import and followed the steps above it's a good idea to comb through every post and page on your old and new site to make sure nothing got left out. If you've completed the steps above you're now the owner of a beautiful WordPress website, nice work!
Best WordPress Plugins for MusiciansMonday, February 6, 2017 by Kevin WoodHaving a website is basically mandatory for any profession, including musicians. In fact, with the ability to build an audience and sell directly to your fans, establishing an online presence is becoming even more enticing. Luckily, WordPress has a lot of tools available for musicians. Even if you're not very tech-savvy, you can still use the power of WordPress to create a beautiful and functional website. Below we dive into a few of our favorite plugins that will help take you, or your band's, website to the next level.
1. Manage Tour Dates With GigPressIf you tour on a regular basis, then GigPress is a plugin you're going to want in your arsenal. This plugin allows you to easily manage your upcoming and past performances. This plugin allows you to easily customize how you want your tour dates to look, so you can integrate your upcoming shows into your existing site. It even includes links for your fans to buy tickets, and is easy to organize your shows.
2. Stream Music With Soundcloud or SpotifyIf you currently have your music uploaded to Soundcloud, then why not let fans listen while they're on your website? This plugin displays your Soundcloud playlists or tracks you've uploaded yourself. However, if you don't utilize Soundcloud and your music is on Spotify, then you can use the plugin called Spotify Master. This enables you to display entire albums, playlists, or even select tracks.
3. Connect To Your Fans With Thank Me LaterAs you grow you're going to need a way to keep in touch with your fans. It's easy in the early stages when you can take the time to respond to everyone, but over time it's nearly impossible to respond to every request, comment, and email. One cool plugin we like is called Thank Me Later. Whenever a fan adds a comment they will receive an automatic response via email thanking them for the comment. Little personal touches like this can really go a long way.
4. Sell Digital Downloads With Music StoreSome musicians prefer to be in complete control of how their music gets distributed. A great plugin that allows you to sell your digital music directly to your fans is called Music Store. This plugin also includes an audio player, so your fans can profile the track before they decide to buy. The free version of this plugin lets you share basic tracks, but if you're looking to sell entire collections of music, run discounts, and offer coupons, then you'll have to upgrade to the premium version.
5. Sell Your Merchandise With FoxyshopAs a musician you make most of your money selling music and playing live shows; however, a good portion of your income can also come from merchandise sales. Most of this stuff is usually sold at a booth at your live shows, but you can still sell the same goods online. Luckily, there are a variety of plugins you can use to sell your merchandise to those fans who desperately want a t-shirt with your latest album cover. One of the most common storefront plugins is Foxyshop. This plugin connects to their hosted shopping cart service, which enables you auto manage your inventory from within your WordPress dashboard. Foxyshop also has support for selling digital goods and subscriptions too. The above plugins are a great way for you to connect with your fans and bolster your income as a musician.

7 Easy Steps that Protect Your Website From HackersMonday, February 6, 2017 by Taylor HawesAs a website owner, is there anything more terrifying than the thought of seeing all of your work altered or entirely wiped out by a nefarious hacker? You've worked hard on your website (and your brand) – so take the time to protect it with these basic hacking protections! In addition to regularly backing up your files (which you should already be doing, for various reasons), taking the following seven easy steps will help keep your website safe:
Step #1: Keep platforms and scripts up-to-dateOne of the best things you can do to protect your website is to make sure any platforms or scripts you've installed are up-to-date. Because many of these tools are created as open-source software programs, their code is easily available – to both good-intentioned developers as well as malicious hackers. Hackers can pore over this code, looking for security loopholes that allow them to take control of your website by exploiting any platform or script weaknesses. As an example, if you're running a website built on WordPress, both your base WordPress installation and any third-party plugins you've installed are potentiallt vulnerable to these types of attacks. Making sure you always have the newest versions of your platform and scripts installed minimizes the risk that you'll be hacked in this way and usually takes very little time to do. WordPress users can check this quickly when they log in to their WordPress dashboard. Look for the update icon in the top left corner next to your site name. Click the number to access your WordPress Updates.
Step #2: Install security plugins, when possibleOnce you've updated everything, further enhance your website security with plugins that actively prevent against hacking attempts. Again, using WordPress as an example, you'll want to look into free plugins like iThemes Security and Bulletproof Security (or similar tools that are available for websites built on other content management systems). These products address the weaknesses that are inherent in each platform, foiling additional types of hacking attempts that could threaten your website. Alternatively – whether you're running a CMS-managed site or HTML pages – take a look at SiteLock. SiteLock goes above and beyond simply closing site security loopholes by providing daily monitoring for everything from malware detection to vulnerability identification to active virus scanning and more. If your business relies on its website, SiteLock is definitely an investment worth considering. Note: Our Managed WordPress hosting plan has SiteLock built in, along with other features to help secure your site.
Step #3: Use HTTPSAs a consumer, you may already know to always look for the green https in your browser bar any time you'll be providing sensitive information to a website. Most consumers know to recognize those five little letters as an important shorthand for security: they signal that it's safe to provide financial information on that particular webpage. If you have an online store, or if any part of your website will require visitors to hand over sensitive information like a credit card number, you have to invest in an SSL certificate. The cost to you is minimal, but the extra level of encryption it offers to your customers goes a long way to making your website more secure and trustworthy.
Step #4: Use parameterized queriesOne of the most common website hacks many sites fall victim to are SQL injections. SQL injections can come into play if you have a web form or URL parameter that allows outside users to supply information. If you leave the parameters of the field too open, someone could insert code into them that lets them hack into your database, which may well contain sensitive customer information, like their contact info or credit card numbers. Obviously that's information it's your duty to protect. There are a number of steps you can take to protect your website from SQL injection hacks; one of the most important and easiest to implement is the use of parameterized queries. Using parameterized queries ensures your code has specific enough parameters so that there's no room for a hacker to mess with them.
Step #6: Make sure your passwords are secureThis one seems simple, but it's so important. It's tempting to go with a password you know will always be easy for you to remember. That's why the #1 most common password is still 123456. You have to do better than that – a lot better than that. Make the effort to figure out a truly secure password (or use HostGator's password generator). Make it long. Use a mix of special characters, numbers, and letters. And steer clear of potentially easy-to-guess keywords like your birthday or kid's name. If a hacker somehow gains access to other information about you, they'll know to guess those first. And make sure everyone who has access to your website has similarly secure passwords. Institute requirements in terms of length and the type of characters that people are required to use so they have to get more creative than going with the standard, easy passwords they turn to for less secure accounts. One weak password within your team can make your whole website more vulnerable, so set expectations with everyone who has access and hold yourself to the same high standard.
Step #7: Lock down your directory and file permissionsNow, for this final technique, we're going to get a little technical – but stick with me for a moment… All websites can be boiled down to a series of files and folders that are stored on your web hosting account. Besides containing all of the scripts and data needed to make your website work, each of these files and folders is assigned a set of permissions that controls who can read, write, and execute any given file or folder, relative to the user they are or the group to which they belong. On the Linux operating system, permissions are viewable as a three-digit code where each digit is an integer between 0-7. The first digit represents permissions for the owner of the file, the second digit represents permissions for anyone assigned to the group that owns the file, and the third digit represents permissions for everyone else. The assignations work as follows:
- 4 equals Read
- 2 equals Write
- 1 equals Execute
- 0 equals no permissions for that user
- Folders and directories = 755
- Individual files = 644

You can use the QuickTime Player in Yosemite to record your iOS device's screen and create videos. You'll need iOS 8 on your device and Yosemite on your Mac, plus the lightning cable to attach the two. Then you can record the screen as well as audio from a microphone. You can then save it, trim it or share it. You can also bring the video into other apps for more editing.
You probably knew that you could use the Maps app in Mavericks to get directions. And likewise with the Maps app on your iPhone. But you can also figure out a route on your Mac and then send it to your iPhone. After getting Directions, choose File, Share and you should see your iPhone in the list as long as you are logged into the same iCloud account. Then on your iPhone, tap the Directions button at the upper left and you will see the route in the list.
With the fast processor in the iPhone 5s, you can take 120 FPS video and slow down a portion of that video for an interesting effect. Learn how to use this feature, and how it really works.
Take a look at ten small but useful features of iOS 7. Learn how to easily remove email and messages, see time stamps on messages, get to calendar list view, use your iPhone as a level, make audio-only FaceTime calls and more.
There are three ways to tracks your app usage in iOS 7. You can see how much storage space each app is using. You can see which apps are using location services, and which ones are using it at this very moment, possibly using your battery more than you would like. You can also see how much cellular data each app is using and deny apps access to data when you are away from a wifi connection.
AirDrop for iOS is a new feature of iOS 7 that allows you to send a photo or other document from one iOS device to another one nearby, without using a network. You can easily send photos to friends or share notes, contacts and other app documents.
Take a look at iTunes Radio, the new streaming music service from Apple. You can stream music based on a song, artist or genre using your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Apple TV. You can create several stations and continue to customize them.
Control Center is a new feature of iOS 7 that lets you access many common settings and controls from any screen. You can pause and adjust music playback, change wireless settings, screen brightness, and other features. Accessing Control Center is easy once you learn how to bring it up.
Switching between apps is different in iOS 7 compared to earlier versions of iOS. You can now easily bring up a list of currently running and recently used apps, and flip through the list. Then you can jump to one. You can also use this list to quit an app. A second method exists to force-quit a stubborn app.
iOS 7 is a big departure from previous versions of iOS, with a very different look and feel. Besides new icons, the look of many of the major apps has been flattened to simpler text on white backgrounds. Have a look at iOS 7 and some specific features like wallpapers and searching.
You may be surprised at how much you can do with the controls on your EarPods with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. In addition to pausing music and changing the volume, you can also rewind and fast forward. You can also answer and refuse calls and activate Siri. You can even take a picture.
When you add a Google Gmail account to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can get email, calendar and notes syncing, but not contacts. To add contacts, you need to add the Google account a second time, as a CardDAV account. Then you can see your Google contacts in your Contacts app.
When you back up for iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your Mac, it stores it deep in your hard drive. But you don't need to go searching for those backups. You can manage them from inside iTunes. This is useful if you want to review your backups and delete old ones from old devices. You can also quickly find them on your drive to see how much space they take up. An archive function lets you save a backup and start a fresh one for a device.
Instead of using sync settings to decide what music to put on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you can set iTunes to let you manually drag and drop music and video into your device. This lets you have finer control over exactly which songs are on the device. You can also get media on to your device without it needing to be in your iTunes library. Another advantage is that you can transfer media from a second Mac to your device without needing to erase the existing media.
If you use and iPhone and travel outside of your home territory, you may run into huge phone bills when you return unless you sign up for the right services. Be sure to log on to your carrier's system before you leave and sign up for voice, text and data plans to fit your needs. Or, be sure to set your phone so it never tries to use mobile networks so you won't be charged. (Apologies for the audio quality on this one!)
Game Center is a universal high score system provided by Apple that many app developers can use in their games. Once you extend your Apple ID to use Game Center, you can compete in high score leaderboards, challenge friends and register in-game achievements.
With the help of Siri on your iPhone, you can listen to and reply to text messages without ever looking at or touching your iPhone's screen. This can be useful when cycling or running, or just quicker than typing. Setting up your contacts correctly can help.
You can use the Google app to perform voice searches that return similar results to using Siri. Google voice searches can often be faster because your voice is interpreted on the phone, rather than being processed by a remote server. But Google voice search isn't integrated with iOS like Siri, so using both is your best option.
You can choose from a list of equalizer presets in iOS to adjust how you hear music from your Music app on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The best way to use it is to play some music and try different settings. The Late Night setting is a little different as it applies to video as well. You can use iTunes on your desktop computer to get an idea about what each preset is doing.
You can set custom vibration patterns for your iPhone to use in addition to custom ringtones. You can use these vibrations to tell who is calling you, or what type of alert you have received. You can also set your phone to blink the LED flash so you can see an alert in addition to hearing and feeling it. You can turn off vibrations and silence your phone and still see the LED alert.
Today's Google Maps app provides the basic functionality of the old Google Maps app. But you have to add this free app yourself as it no longer comes pre-installed on iOS. You can use both Apple Maps and Google Maps on your device, and it is worth having it as an alternative.
Learn how to put your videos on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. You would typically use iTunes to transfer the videos from your Mac or PC to your device. But sometimes you have to go through a conversion process first as iOS can only play back certain types of video.
For most users the best way to manage photos on an iPhone is to download your Camera Roll photos on to your Mac in iPhoto, treating your Camera Roll like a normal digital camera. Then create albums in iPhoto and sync those back to your iPhone to have a selection of photos to carry with you.
You have two primary options to backup your iOS device. You can backup to your computer, or backup using iCloud. Most people will want to backup to their computer. But frequent travelers and those without a computer will want to use the iCloud method. You can also backup to both.
By syncing your iOS device with your Mac or PC, you can use iTunes 11 to organize your apps. You can sort your iTunes app library by size or date to remove old apps you no longer use. You can also search for apps on your device and re-arrange them using iTunes.
You have full control over what music, videos, photos and apps to sync to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. But you need to use the correct iTunes screens to set up these options or you will simply get the defaults. You can also control what gets automatically put on your iOS device through iTunes or via iCloud. Unless you turn off several options, you will automatically get new purchases when you sync or even via iCloud right after purchasing.
Occasionally the fix for an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch problem is to 'backup and restore' your device. This tutorial walks you through the steps using iTunes 11. You basically make sure your device is synced and backed up. Then you use iTunes to perform the simple, but often time-consuming, restore.
Often the fastest and easiest way to get a document to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is to use DropBox. This service and free app allow you to sync a folder between your computer and your iOS device using the free app. So you can quickly drag and drop files to your DropBox folder and then they will appear on your iOS device. You can use the app to view a variety of file types.
With iOS 6 you can take panoramic photos using an iPhone 5, iPhone 4s or the 5th generation iPod touch. Panoramas can be used to capture a landscape, but they can also be used for up-close wide or tall shots. They work best if objects are not moving, but can tolerate some movement. Since they are a composition of several photos, they are more detailed than a single shot. You can use panoramas to create some interesting photos.
If your iPhone is stolen much of your personal data, including access to your email and online accounts, can be stolen as well. Protect yourself by setting up your iPhone correctly in advance. Turn on passcode protection and also the Find My iPhone feature. With Find My iPhone you can erase or track your iPhone.

IMO the Op doesn't want to do anything about her situation. It sounds like a teenage vent to me. Even the title "my inlaws are difficult to live with" doesn't suggest anything more than a vent.
It could have been "wanting to move away from inlaws" and therefore people offering advice on what to do in order to make that happen but instead it's more about highlighting how horrible life is being stuck in that position.
I say let the kid vent but if it's frustrating offering advice then don't. I have no advice to the OP (don't feel like she wants it anyway) but thought I could help some people who are clearly frustrated by the thread. You all mean well which is nice though.

Many years ago, when I was just a teenager, I bought and owned a 1955 Chevy. It was my dream car. Every dime I made went into this car. I was a poor kid working to help support my Mom and my brother and three sisters. Money was tight but I scrimped and saved to make my car "pretty". One night after our Wednesday Church gathering, a friend asked me if I would take him home with some of my friends. I agreed and off we went. He lived in the out skirts of our town and as we were driving down a very dark road, I noticed that about 2-3 miles away, there was another car coming in the opposite direction toward me and that they had their bright lights on. I dimmed mine to high beam and then dimmed them back to low beams to signal the other driver to dim their bright light to low beam. The other driver dimmed theirs to low and them immediately back to high beam! Since we were getting closer to each other, I again dimmed and then re-dimmed mine to low beam. The other driver immediately did the same, from high to low back to high beams again! I was getting a little annoyed since it was totally black outside and the bright lights were blinding me. This was a very narrow road with no street lights and no lines on the edge of the road. I was afraid that if I was blinded by the oncoming lights, I may drive off the road! So, again I flashed my lights to high beam and back to low beam! The other driver repeated their actions and again I was faced with their bright lights and could not see. By now we were less than 100 yards away from each other and I started to get nervous since I could not see the road edge. I slowed down as much as I could to avoid the other car. I decided to give it one more try and dimmed my lights again! It was useless! The other driver repeated exactly the same behavior and blinded me with their bright lights! I was almost stopped when the other car whizzed past me doing over 50 miles an hour! I was doing about 10 miles an hour and was hugging the edge of the road! As we passed each other, I mumbled under my breath-"Stupid Driver!". There is always a point in your life when you realize that your efforts were not worth the effort to correct a situation. It was also the moment I realized that the other driver was my Mother! She had taken my friends Mom home from Church and was on her way home when we had this chance encounter! Yeah, she recognized my car when we passed and she was not real happy that I blinded her with my lights! She was waiting up for me when I got home and I got an ear full! She thought she was in the right and I could not convince her otherwise! To argue with my Mother was useless, so I just gave up and went to bed. Mom passed away a few years ago and until that time, she always insisted that she was in the right that night and I was in the wrong. Now, every time I am driving at night and something similar happens with an oncoming car, I think of my Mom and the night she almost blinded me! Thanks for the memories Mom! Love you and Miss you so much!

Students often tell me that they work in a state of "organised chaos". Whilst their desks are piled high with papers and stuff, they insist that this doesn't affect their productivity. I beg to differ. Let me explain it this way. Imagine that you need major surgery. You go to your local hospital, get wheeled […]
