Im hoping someone here has some 'best practice' rules/settings for Eset Smart Security (clients) that enable Spiceworks to do it's thing.
I think I have all the firewall rules in place, but I was still getting some limitations on my spiceworks dashboard. I think the culprit was that Eset's Threatsense blocking some of Spiceworks querries to the clients.
I'm sure if I was more specific someone could walk me thru, but I'm just going to troubleshoot it myself for the moment. I was just hoping someone already had a good setup they could share that might enable me to get setup quicker than me digging through logs and rules, etc.

Hi there, here's an article on how to set up the NOD32 client so it runs with Spiceworks:
I used it to set mine up and I haven't had any problems. In fact it runs a heck of a lot better than when I had Symantec Antivirus 10.1 running.

Hi there,
I had the same issue about 6 months ago contacted spiceworks and they worked with me and came up with the article that Bobster2 has posted up.
Works a treat and cant fault it.
Jun 9, 2009 at 12:57 UTC
Thanks guys. I found that. I'm not having any issues with the computer that is running spiceworks. We have Eset's full security suite, and so I'm managing firewall rules and things of that nature. I think I solved it yesterday though without turning off any of Eset's features (I initially thought threatsense was causing problems but I dont think that is the case anymore). I'm pretty sure I have it licked, but if someone has a Smart Security XML configuration file they want to share I won't protest ;)
Jun 9, 2009 at 11:51 UTC
Ok. It seems like the issue is that one can not just open the firewall ports as Spiceworks requires, but one must turn off some of the IDS attack warnings in the advance setup. I dont know which ones minimally must be turned off, but I turned off a handful of them and was able to get spiceworks to successfully query my workstations without errors. I'll have to dig into Eset's documentation on their IDS implementation in Smart Security. I'm hoping there might be a way to tell IDS to let port scans thru at a specific time of day or from a specific IP address.

I have a config file on my PC which is from version 4 Smart security and spice works is working fine for me with the way it is setup.
Your welcome to try it? Just email me if you want it?
Jul 2, 2009 at 12:53 UTC
After I updated Spiceworks to version 4.0 our ESET Smart Security started to block Spiceworks network scans. I don't want to disable IDS on all machines and ESET support said that disabling IDS only in the trusted zone is not possible. Before I updated Spiceworks to version 4.0 the scans worked fine. Anyone have any ideas?
Jul 7, 2009 at 2:50 UTC
Hi, Can you specify the error received on a device not being detected?
Our discovery method in the latest 4.0 remains the same using WMI to query your machines. ESET NOD 32 is what I'm familiar with and we've done some testing with the configuration.
- Were there any definition files updated in your ESET AV software?
- When you "test" your scanning account against the IP address on a machine in question what error do you receive? (This test can be performed on the Network Scan page)
Aug 11, 2009 at 3:08 UTC
Has anyone come up with a solution to this? Im getting
Windows does not respond. Permission or firewall problem?
on devices that have Nod32 Smart Security. I thought I opened up the proper holes and what not.
Aug 11, 2009 at 3:35 UTC
Chris1973, what are your results when you "test" your scanning account against one of those machines w/Nod32 in question?
- Run this command from the Spiceworks host machine to that computer in question:
c:\ wmic /user:username /password:yourpassword /node:remotemachine
systemenclosure get serialnumber
You can use the IP address for the node. Do you receive a serial number or error? if you receive an error please tell me what it is.
I want to confirm if the WMIC command returns an error related to port interference.
Aug 12, 2009 at 6:07 UTC
The wmic command provided me with the serial number of the remote node, so it seems to be working. However when I try to run a Spiceworks scan the error is:
No open ports for this device were found to be responding. This typically means that there is a firewall or permission issue preventing remote access. Please see the help section.
And ESET Firewall log on the target machine:
12.8.2009 10:18:58 Address temporarily blocked by active defense (IDS)12.8.2009 10:18:58 Detected Port Scanning attack
If I disable "TCP Port Scanning attack detection" from ESET Setup, the Spicework scan works correctly. ESET versions 3 and 4 both have the same problem.
Before I updated Spiceworks to version 4, the scans were succesfull.

I'm in the same position as Aki8822... is there anything we can try or is someone working on this issue? It's a major downer, especially considering how great both Spiceworks and ESET are!
Aug 28, 2009 at 11:13 UTC
Been at this all afternoon and have came to the same conclusions.IDS picks up the TCP port scan attack and temporarily blocks the Remote Collector. Turning off TCP port scanning attack detection allows the scan to complete normally. Fix Required!!!!!

I just ran into this issue today while evaluating ESET Smart Security 4.0.
It doesn't look like you can turn off IDS features for the only the Spiceworks server or if that would even make sense. It is just on or off for "TCP port scanning attack detection".
I'm thinking this problem goes back to the discussion of having a Spiceworks agent running on each client machine which, to my knowledge, isn't possible right now.
Dec 14, 2009 at 5:17 UTC
Wow. This thread ticked along since I started it. I got pulled away from spiceworks for a while but I am about to get back into it over the holiday. I'll see if I can figure out how to reconcile this with the most minimal security changes to Eset Smart Security.
Feb 2, 2010 at 3:30 UTC
I'm having similar problems.
Very small network 4 servers 11 workstations.
My Servers have NOD32 v4 and they work fine but the workstations have Eset Smart Security v4 and I've tried to work with the workstation policy configuration with the firewall rules but Spiceworks scans are still being blocked.
Has anyone had any luck with finding config policy settings that work with Spiceworks and ESSv4?
Feb 4, 2010 at 5:36 UTC
Hey Robert. It took me a long time to get things to work despite the suggestions above. Ended up it was a silly local control policy item in windows XP or some matter...
I found that if you have been trouble shooting ESET for a while, it probably would be best to reset everything to the default configuration. Then, for Eset Smart Security 4, all you need is to open up the ports Spiceworks requires in the firewall AND disable the TCP port scan detection under IDS in the Eset firewall (as mentioned above).
I think I read the newest build of ESET SS has a way to turn off IDS for certain IP addresses or at certain times of the day...I haven't dug into it yet and I could be wrong....but that would be a nice way to keep TCP port scan active if true.
Mar 4, 2010 at 10:16 UTC
1st Post
I am still having problems with ESET SS ver 4.0.467.0
I think I must be missing a trick, I have disabled the TCP port scan and I have opened up the required ports in ESET, but for some reason I am still getting Timeouts waiting for WMI connection.
I thought it may have been an access issue so I created a generic account on all of the PC's, with admin rights, but this seemed to make no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a spiceworks and ESET shop here and would love to be able to make these products work together as well. Anyone???
Mar 12, 2010 at 9:28 UTC
1st Post
I'm in the same boat and would love to get this figured out. Until I do, unfortunately Spiceworks is pretty limited as a tool for me but I know once I get this figured out I'll be a huge fan.
Mar 12, 2010 at 9:38 UTC
If you look above, the key fix for most people was turning OFF the TCP port scan attack detection under the 'IDS' menu under 'advanced settings'.
Making sure that was unchecked and that the correct ports were open for spiceworks seems to work for me (and others). One thing I did was to start over from a default ESET configuration, rather than try and troubleshoot after having spent time testing firewall rules and IDS configurations.
If you can ask more specific questions I can try and help.

Dodai no Oni was an oni of the Shadowlands which existed as a disembodied awareness surrounding a fist-sized piece of obsidian known as a seed-stone, in a stasis state. When the stone was buried beneath a building, the oni's essence established within the construction. It was believed Daigotsu commissioned these creatures by Omoni and Shokansuru. They had never been seen within the Shadowlands, appearing periodically in the Crab lands, with three documented cases exist. A dozen seed-stones were distributed by Daigotsu throughout Otosan Uchi during his assault. [1]

I have been a HUGE fan of Toppee Tippee since I found out I was pregnant. Just something about the brand that I love. I was super excited when I realized they carry Diaper Pails! What is worse than a stinky poop in your trash???? NOTHING. Perfect reason to get a diaper pail to cover that STINK up!!! This diaper pail really keeps that nasty order trapped in. My house actually smells GOOD since using the Tommee Tippee Diaper Pail!
What I love about the Tommee Tippee diaper pail is the sleek, stylish, and compact design. WIth having a diaper pail near by, there is no longer a need to walk outside to throw the stinky diapers away! This diaper pail can hold up to 18 diapers at once, which is perfect!! A diaper pail is a MUST ADD on any baby registry! These come in handy so much! I was super impressed and eagerly excited about the Tommee Tippee one. Not only is it designed well, but its durable and well made!
The diaper pail is extremely simple to use. Just follow these EASY steps: Lift the lid and push diaper through the smart lid and close.
The liners come in a cartridge and are essentially one long tube with no sealed ends. You pull some out, tie a knot, stuff it into the can and place the cartridge in its place. You use until full, cut the liner and knot it again, forming a closed system.
Another great thing about this pail is that it is not just for diapers! When your child is done with diapers, you can keep this for normal trash as well! How convenient is that?

Carmen Santacosta was an Adjudicator.
Aware of subspace experiments on Mars but Unable to generate a stunnel to get there, they arranged for a shuttle to crash near Antony McGuire's expedition. Santacosta, an Oberon Special Operative claiming to be a lounge singer who survived the crash, joined the group. The Adjudicators expected the expedition would be able to find out what was really happening at the Martian North Pole. She killed Vince Esteban since he was a suspected Martian Axis and might interfere with her mission.
She brought along a Transit-web which acted as a portable stunnel terminus, so she could bring more Adjudicators when she reached her destination. Santacosta reluctantly allowed the Seventh Doctor to use it to destroy the GodEngine. (PROSE: GodEngine)

As per the Human Rights Watch Dogs. The use of "virginity testing" has been recorded in a number of countries worldwide. Out of which Afghanistan, authorities routinely subject women and girls accused of pre-marital sex, zina to "virginity tests" by government doctors.
AIHRC recent study found that, of 53 women and girls as young as 13 accused of pre-marital sex, punishable by up to 15 years in jail and 48 were subjected to virginity exams.
Heather Barr, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch's women's (HRW) rights division, criticised the exams as "unscientific" and "bogus." And according to the report presented by HRW on Monday says that the virginity exam was carried out more than once and in the presence of multiple people.
'These so-called virginity exams are not just demeaning they constitute sexual assault and are often used as evidence against women in court for the 'crime' of zina, or sex outside of marriage,' said Heather Barr.
She said."Many people mistakenly believe that virginity can be determined because the hymen is always broken when a woman or girl has sexual intercourse for the first time.
"This is simply not true. Some girls are born without a hymen; hymens often break during daily non-sexual activities, and some hymens remain intact after sexual intercourse," Barr said.
"Afghan President Ashraf Ghani could abolish these exams through an executive order. Recognising everyone's inherent dignity, respecting human rights, and appreciating real science over pseudo-science all demand he do so."
"Virginity tests" have been recognized internationally as a violation of human rights, government should end degrading, discriminatory, and unscientific "virginity testing" of women and girls.

Doctoring up your bath water
my 10 year old daughter loves to put bath salt and little rose shaped soap in her bath water and she buys them at the Dollar Tree and their products their are cheap and my daughter has sensitive skin she has been using the products for about a week and she has not developed a rash yet but I am afraid she might what should I do?
I'd watch, wait and see. If they aren't bothering her then I wouldn't be too concerned at this point. If she complains of vaginal redness, itchiness or discomfort then for sure discontinue their use.
I agree with Theresa and Sheila.. wait and see! I assume something might have bothered her by now if it was going to.. sounds like she's a little lady who loves the spa! hehe

'Star Wars' set to pass 'Avatar' at US box office
The force continues to grow in mysterious profitable ways for Disney. Star Wars: The Force Awakens has broken another box office record earning an estimated $88.3 million dollars domestically in the United states for its third weekend, breaking the previous record set by Jurassic World.
Adjusted for inflation Star War is now the second highest grossing movie domestically of all time just behind Avatar which it is expected to dethrone.
For some consideration, it only took the new Star Wars 16 days to breaking $700 million, it took Avatar 72 days.
Globally the film has raked in $1.51 billion sitting comfortably at number 4 worldwide.

Bully Movie, Teacher Layoffs, & Minority Students (The Point)
What should we take away from the documentary 'Bully'? Should teachers be laid off based on seniority? Finally, why is no one talking about big gains minority students have made in the NAEP? Political comedian Jimmy Dore leads this weeks panel to discuss these issues and more with Marcy Winograd (Ocean Park Neighborhood Association, Board Member; LAUSD English teacher; former congressional peace candidate; Green Party activist.), Adolfo Guzman-Lopez (reporter at Southern California Public Radio), and Atyani Howard (Chief Academic Officer at Camino Nuevo).

2. bullying has destroyed my life. literally.
I have the ptsd symptoms all my life.Bullying literally kills the soul.It destroys the nascent democracy in children. For a few to be rulers many must be subordinated,oppressed,made less and learn to fear being self sovereign,not knowing how to respect their own power,immature as adult children and adult children do not have the social skills and emotional knowledge and self knowledge to recognize the delicate balances of needs of community and boundaries of self vs others self- boundaries.
Freedom to abuse and manipulate
by Underground Panther in the Sky June 12, 2003
Some people are more emotionally equipped to handle freedom than others are. People emotionally equipped to handle freedom don't have a compulsion to lie, they don't get off on physically or verbally abusing people, they don't abuse people 's trust either. They don't intimidate, humiliate or belittle other people to force them to be silent. They don't act like greedy pigs at other's expense.
They police themselves from within. They have self control and confidence that comes with self awareness.
Some people don't desire to dominate relationships they are involved in. Some people are not afraid of losing, being wrong, looking 'weak' or having their own integrity doubted by others. Their personalities and personal flaws are less defended because the person accepts them and is aware of their own limits.
They are well aware of their own autonomy and power to choose right and wrong. They are self aware, self responsible, compassionate and secure. Some people know how to share what they have and are oriented to wards cultivating right relationships with others. They know how to be assertive without being aggressive. Some people have enough self control to handle freedom of speech and free association.
Other people can't cope with freedom, and beg by their actions and abusive speech to be limited in their freedoms. They readily use the noble idea of freedom as a rallying cry for the right to abuse, use or mutilate others. They use freedom of speech as a cry for their own alleged right to verbally abuse others. They use freedom of association as a cry for the rights to use others to look "powerful" and con them with religion, scams or false hopes.
People with conduct disorders want the freedom to be intimidating, pushy, deceptive and cruel, and disrupt others' freedoms and relationships. They need to dominate and control social situations. These people can't handle freedom well. They are emotionally and socially screwed up.
They want to be free to abuse and manipulate other people around themselves and reduce other people's freedoms in the name of the bullies' sought-after authoritarian "freedom."
Tyrants, abusers, and bullies have problems with their own conduct in relationships of any kind. They are freedom killing, disruptive authoritarians, aggressive greedy and deceptive.
A person who is behaving like a totalitarian, a bully, a dominator, a user or abuser is INCOMPATIBLE with a society that values freedom and democracy.
Yet taking an absolutist stance on 'freedom' ... preserves the bully's "rights" to abuse, as well as our own rights to relate to whom we wish to, and to speak our minds.
It was said by the anthropologist who studied a very aggressive and abusive patriarchal tribe, the Yanomano, that in order for one segment of the population to dominate and know power over the "lessers," the other segment or "lessers" must be indoctrinated in cowardice.
It has always been this struggle in society ... what do we do with the bullies, exploiters and liars? Do we give them, rights and let them abuse our freedom ... so they can lie disrupt, foment hatred and abuse people? Or do we limit their damage? Restrict their freedoms?
In a small, close knit tribe where "leaders" have less power over the members and are held accountable by the force of close proximity to the populace, it might be possible to recognize problem people just by watching their habits. Then a population can purge its sociopaths and bullies by exile or by restriction, and maintain sociological health (that is, if bullies are not dominating the tribal government).
But in America, in this civilization gone insane, you can't just limit a bullies freedom without limiting your own freedoms. We are caught in a double bind here. And can we get ourselves out of it and still be free? If so, HOW?
How can a distant uninvolved entity like the government recognize a conduct-disordered bully from someone who is just colorful and outspoken? The government we allow is currently over run by authoritarians, bullies liars and abusers of people. The people in the government have various conduct disorders; that is why we expect them to lie, expect them to exploit us and expect them to abuse our freedoms. This is why we do not trust the government to do much in the interests of maintaining civil freedoms from bullies. Better use those absolutist principles to restrict power-made authoritarians who are equipped with homeland security, FBI and CIA, and huge nuclear arsenals built with our tax money to restrict our freedoms and the freedoms of other nations.
You can risk your own comfy position and turn on the bullies around you with teeth and expose them, call them on their lies publicly, and denounce their sick disordered social control tactics, their greed and destroy their stranglehold over others. So that they know they are no lord or master over others ... It would be a constant fight to get conduct-disordered people to restrict themselves from within. But this is one way out of this "double bind" about freedom.
The other way out is slowly strangling and silencing your own humanity within, by betraying yourself from within.A.K.A as going along with it,not making waves,keeping your powder dry. For America's top 1%, the most wealthy to be in the powerful position they are in today, the other 99% of the population of America has to have learned the lessons of cowardice.
A lot of sad, alienated, tired, insecure, overworked, guilty, confused, emotionally unstable, intellectually lazy, and fearful people who are emotionally unequipped for confronting an asshole boss, or an asshole kid, or an asshole spouse have given up freedoms. Especially if they are dependant upon the bully for a paycheck, a relationship, or if they are afraid of confrontation or deep down believe they can't change the situation.
When 1 in 4 Americans have some form of mental illness, it's a warning that our way of relating to each other socially is becoming very sick. I think it's a call from within to stand up and confront the bullies around us, the bullies we let be in power, the bullies who are making us all sick. I am referring to the corporate polluters, liars, con men, the advertisers, politicians, lobbyists, spin doctors, media whores, and all the other public abusers of trust, as well as the domestic bullies like spouse beaters, con men, the TV, school bullies, religious bullies, work bullies, parent bullies and social bullies.
A person's conscience (if they have one) can torment them emotionally from within, until they make things right with themselves. If you ignore your own conscience's convictions of your wrong actions and words long enough, you can condition yourself to become numbed to it. The cost of ignoring your own conscience is to become neurotic, dishonest, addicted, impulsive, passive aggressive, manipulating, secretive and insecure.
A conduct-disordered person has a conscience disorder as well. Authoritarians can't self-police their own actions in society. They see no wrong in harming or using others or destroying the Earth for profit. Other people have to step up to control them and contain them or they will not stop~ever.
If you let bullies dictate how you live, if you let bullies lie and steal unchallenged, then you are setting yourself up for a big explosion someday or for a free fall to the bottom. Or you just might lose your conscience, either momentarily or forever, when you choose to betray yourself in a fit of rage, frustration or despair. When you are down or shattered to bits inside, a bully does not care about your pain at all. He sees you as an all day sucker to exploit, or as a weak, pathetic loser. He thinks this way because he has no empathy for you.
Authoritarians, bullies, liars, users, abusers, con men, sociopath mentality s and control freaks are incompatible with notions of freedom and democracy in any civil society.
Yet there is another half of this sick equation: the enabling, passive cowardice of a population who accepts being exploited, over obedient,frightened,desperate who are willing to throw away their consciences mental health and civil society for a pittance and cling to absolutist principles because they don't want to risk doing anything others might disapprove of. They don't want to risk more corrupting influences, to remove to corruption that is already there. This sad dynamic in people makes "the natural domination of sociopaths" in society possible.
Along with a terrible lie,just world hypothesis.
Get honest and right with yourselves, people. Freedom for the World begins within YOU.
Fuck what others might think of you and those absolutist principals, and do what is right. Authoritarians, con men and bullies are by their nature incompatible with genuine freedom and democracy in a civil society. Call them OUT! Tell everyone what they are doing is WRONG ! Get off yer butt and confront those who would warp and destroy freedom in the name of selfish freedom. . fearlessly. To not listen to your own conscience and to choose to not have self control, to avoid confrontation of a bully at all costs is what it takes to truly lose your freedom.

People are fascinated by the origins of things they love, which explains the popularity of distillery tours or visits to the factory where little sisters are made. See where it all began with this Groupon.
$10 for $20 Worth of Cocktails and Spirits
The distillery mixes cocktails ($4+) and sells its own artisan-crafted spirits, including the Roundhouse gin ($25), imperial barrel-aged gin ($38), and corretto coffee liqueur ($25). Roundhouse Spirits offers free tours and tastings Thursday through Sunday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Roundhouse Spirits
Roundhouse Spirits may be the archetype for the micro-distillery movement, but its ideas are anything but small. For Imperial Barrel Aged Gin, for instance, Roundhouse's spirit specialists take the distillery's namesake gin and age it for six months or more in oak casks, creating a one-of-a-kind tipple somewhere between gin and whiskey. To make each small batch of Corretto Coffee Liqueur, on the other hand, they start with organic, fair-trade beans, which are hand-picked by roaster Gerry Leary down the street at the Unseen Bean. And beginning this season, Roundhouse plans to unveil its latest creation: Roundhouse Pumpkin Liqueur, which will initially only be available at the distillery itself.
Thursdays through Sundays, Roundhouse offers an inside look at its laboratory of libations with complimentary distillery tours typically led by company president Ted Palmer, a 25-year veteran of craft distilling and brewing. Visitors can also opt to tuck into one of the handful of tables in the tasting room, where shuffleboard and foosball complement the spirits available for sampling on the spot or taking home.

GRAMERCY — A candidate for Gramercy police chief, David Detillier, was arrested Saturday by St. James Parish sheriff's deputies after a dispute erupted between him and his girlfriend at their home during which Detillier threatened to shoot anyone who came inside, the Sheriff's Office said.
Detillier was taken into custody after setting off two firecrackers that deputies at first mistook for gunfire.
Deputies went to 156 N. Colonial Ave. in Gramercy after receiving a 911 hang-up call and learned that Detillier's girlfriend had attempted to make the call during a dispute with him, authorities said.
The woman and the first responding officer told other deputies who arrived at the scene that Detillier had threatened to shoot anyone who walked into the home. The immediate area was sealed off to the public and officers began to negotiate with Detillier, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Because of the severity of the threats, the Sheriff's Office said it staged its Special Response Team nearby.
"The SRT is utilized in situations where a potential threat to public safety or law enforcement is present," said Maj. Sid Berthelot, with the Sheriff's Office.
During the hourlong incident, Detillier repeatedly entered and exited his home, before leaving the house and exploding the two firecrackers. Officers rushed in, believing shots had been fired, and took Detillier into custody after a brief pursuit on foot, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Detillier, who is also the chief of the Gramercy volunteer Fire Department, was booked into the St. James Parish Jail on counts of criminal mischief, resisting an officer and disturbing the peace, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office. He was released on bail.
Detillier could not be reached for comment.

Alcoholic Kombucha
Kombucha with a Kick: Brewing Kombucha Wine Pt. 2
Welcome back! It's been awhile since part 1, hasn't it?
Well, to be honest, my brew didn't go exactly as planned. A couple of my wines had a really hard time getting fermentation underway, and some started bubbling the airlock right off the bat. But really, all of them took quite a bit longer than I had expected!
To start, I'll touch on the alcohol issue with kombucha. We're trying to do wine since kombucha alone will not inherently or with time make an alcoholic beverage that is palatable and appreciably alcoholic. I get that question sometimes - "If I let my kombucha brew for 3 months, will I end up with alcohol?" The answer is no - you might get a 'buch that is over 2% ABV, but this won't always be palatable and will be similar to vinegar, if you let it sit for that long. As such, we're going to force anaerobic fermentation, using a 1 gallon glass carboy, champagne yeast, and an airlock.
Let's take a look at the different brews I started back in October 2013.
Heavenly Peak Pu-erh - Pomegranate Kombucha Wine
Pu-erh teas are a fun way to experiment with kombucha. You're guaranteed a finished product that is almost always different from what you expected - even if you know what you are getting into in having a good grasp of the pu-erh's flavor profile, there will be aspects that are accentuated or forgotten in the final brew.
My pu-erh pomegranate wine is no exception. Sure, I expected a strong body and an appreciable acetic acid note with pomegranate early on. Something I've noticed that happens with kombucha wine, however, is that there's an abundant yeastiness that is not always seen as a good thing when you taste it in a wine. I've lost a lot of the notes of the initial, cooked pu-erh, picked up a ton of pomegranate and yeasty characteristics, and an easily-detected alcoholic aspect. And after about 2 months of secondary fermentation under an airlock, followed by almost 6 months of being stored in the refrigerator, not much has changed. A success, yes - it's definitely alcoholic - but I'm reminded that I'm a novice at making 'buch wine, as there isn't much about this one that is supremely desirable. Acidic, alcoholic, pomegranate barnyard. Fascinating, for sure, but I'm calling this one a pu-error.
Hairy Crab Oolong - Papaya Kombucha Wine
This one sounds silly, but aside from some initial difficulty in getting fermentation underway, there wasn't anything undersirable about this one. It was clear very early on that something wasn't quite right. I did 1/2 gallon of two different brews with this one, one pasteurized before adding the yeast, and one not pasteurized before the secondary, anaerobic fermentation. I wanted to see what effect killing off all of the probiotics in the kombucha had on the final wine.
Once fermentation started (after about 3 weeks, mind you - you will be able to tell because your air lock will be bubbling), I allowed this one quite a bit of time to undergo fermentation. After about 6 weeks, I could tell from tasting that there was still more to go, and ended up calling it off after about 3 months. This is the point where I found the 'buch wine to taste best - within the first few days after the champagne yeast fermentation. The longer the wine sat in bottles, the more bread and yeast notes contributed to its flavor profile.
Upon tasting, I could tell that there was still quite a bit of sweetness from the papaya, but there was a marked acidity and alcoholic nature to the brew as well. The pasteurized version definitely had a cleaner, less sulfuric aspect to it. Also, there was no overreaching, bready aspect as there had been in the pu-erh pomegranate 'buch. Lower in alcohol content than the pu-erh, but quite a bit more delicious. I call this one a success.
How to Make Kombucha Wine
I'll bet you've been sitting on that champagne yeast for quite a while, eh? Well hopefully by now you've honed your kombucha craft and are ready to take it to the next level with a wine. Most yeast packets you find at brew shops contain 5 grams, and are intended for a 5 gallon brew. So, just use the 1 gram of yeast per gallon you're going to make. You'll want to dissolve the yeast in some warm water before mixing it with your kombucha, that way it's nicely dispersed throughout the fermentation vessel.
As for the kombucha, my methodology was to cease primary fermentation while the 'buch is still slightly sweet, in an effort to minimize any strange acidic notes I might not want in the final wine brew. I also added sugar to the 'buch, after dissolving it in warm water so I didn't have to heat up my kombucha. If you're interested in trying this method with pasteurized kombucha, go ahead and boil your brew and add the sugar so that it will dissolve nicely. I used 1 cup of sugar per gallon of wine I was going to brew, to be sure the yeast had plenty of food to metabolize into alcohol.
Wine usually features some type of fruit, and so did this one. Utilizing organic papaya and organic pomegranate concentrates served this purpose; also, the sugar and other nutrients in the juices will be additional food for the yeast. The sweetness, flavor and consistency of your fruit juice will likely vary from mine, but I used 6 ounces of concentrate per 1 gallon brew. Keep in mind this is a matter of preference and you should probably err on the side of more concentrate rather than less.
After pouring the fruit concentrates into my designated carboys, I added the warm yeast-water. Then, I poured the kombucha into the carboy, capped with airlocks, labeled them, and let them sit until the airlock's bubbling ceased.
Now for the hard part - waiting. Try not to let this part bother you! One of the great things about kombucha in general is the speed with which this ferment is ready to be consumed. But if you want to take your brewing repertoire to the next level, it's going to take a little patience.
So, get another 'buch brew going, put a wine reminder in your calendar (start tasting when almost all bubbling has ceased), and relish that day in the semi-distant future when your fruity, dry 'buch wine is boozy and bodacious!
Kombucha with a Kick - Brewing Kombucha Wine Pt. 1
It's no secret that kombucha contains alcohol. Albeit usually in trace amounts that the body is able to metabolize quickly, and you are none the wiser. People will say to me, even after drinking a 1 oz. sample at a market, that they've received a "buzz" from my kombucha, insisting that I'm trying to get them drunk. It's definitely not from alcohol.
I find it hard to believe that any beverage artisan wants consumers to feel anything but fulfilled from drinking their product. Not to suppose that inebriation forfeits assessment of flavor (though we can all see how this can be possible in extreme circumstances), but getting hammered on a fine microbrew or expensive bottle of wine to an extent cheapens its value as a thing carefully-sourced and produced. Nuances and layers of flavor are best appreciated in careful consideration, and on the whole I'd say the ability to ascertain subtleties towards the end of a sizable run of alcohol consumption becomes difficult, possibly only overcome through diligent practice and variation (during the session) in the type/style of beer, wine, etc. Perhaps differences in many varieties, during a stint at a wine or beer festival, become relative to each other, making discrimination easier.
I'll state for the record that I've never become drunk on kombucha; if anything, after a long day of working at the market selling kombucha, and the requisite consumption of it that accompanies the event, I feel energized and content, with acute senses, perception and mobility that would assist me in anything from writing a research paper to driving across the country. I won't encourage anyone to drink that much kombucha (sometimes up to a gallon a day), but I'm definitely an aberrance in the field; not because I think kombucha is bad for you, but because I believe (and don't always practice) the "less is more" and "everything in moderation" approaches to consumption. Maybe 32 oz. a day feels good for you, maybe 4 oz. feels right. Maybe I want 2 liters.
That Being Said
You can make kombucha that contains a sizable amount of alcohol, akin to that of a standard American lager, and perhaps more (do experiment, please).
There are definitely kombucha companies out there who have chosen not to control the amount of alcohol in their kombucha, and they should be commended, be it for better or for worse.
There are also companies that have produced hybrids of kombucha and beer, with results ranging from 5-10% alcohol by volume. Whoa! Experimentation is the spice of life, and I'm happy these boundaries have been pushed.
However - I would be hard-pressed to say that I've completely enjoyed any of the marketed high-alcohol kombuchas available. Obvious merits are in the realm of a sour beer, of which I do count myself a fan, but something really different happens in kombucha - kombucha contains bacteria; most beers exclude all but a certain strain of yeast (that's why extreme sanitation and an airlock are used during the production of beers).
The only way I've found to make palatable and delicious (appreciably) alcoholic kombucha is in brewing kombucha wine; I've achieved about 5.5% alcohol, with only a few caveats in flavor based on a few different factors.
In upcoming posts, I'll describe my process of making kombucha wine, complete with suggestions and recipes - in the meantime, do some experimentation yourself! Don't wait for me to spell it out. I'll give you a hint - airlock, champagne yeast. Go!

I don't get the metaphor but never mind that. My observations are based on several years of tracking forum posts and working in business environments. 1. In my day (and I know things may have changed), most documents dispatched by an organisation were (are) in hard copy form, Bureaucracy still reigns supreme, so I doubt that much has changed in that respect. I know that the paper war I experience is as active as ever. Format compatibility is not required for documents which will be printed before dispatch. 2. Many documents are produced in an organisation for use within an organisation. Compatibility with other formats is not required for that. 3. Many individuals who require compatibility do so in order to work with their employer's documents. If their employer uses the open document format so will they. 4. Organisations raising issues on forums have, more often than not, been obliged to use other software to gain the feature they need. One issue which has surfaced a few times has been the difficulty of enabling editing by more than one user at a time. A recent one concerned the lack of security for temporary files created by the software. 5. The article cited refers to collaboration via the web. If MSFT and Google see that as a market worth providing for, we could pay it some attention. Terry ----- Original Message ----- > From: Dennis E.

It's hit and miss with me.. depends on how much activity the sales reps are pulling. I'm quite a bit busier than I was because I'm filling in another spot for someone who just resigned, but I've still had those days (especially today) that I've lurked SW and streaming Pandora all day until my time is done.
The previous week I did about 90 hours though :( so I'm not upset about being slow at all right now.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:25 UTC
Depends on the day. Some days I'm super busy. Other days, I have time to plan and do projects.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:27 UTC
At my last job I could tell you how many holes were in each ceiling tile. At my current job I'm so swamped I often don't go to lunch until 3:00 PM, when the rumbling of my stomach drowns out the servers.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:28 UTC
It is different from place to place. When I worked at IBM I was putting in 70-75 hour weeks and it was totally nose to the grindstone. Here I work a lot closer to 40 and while I'm busy, it's not near as frenetic as it was and it's a lot more consistent, not nearly so much fire fire fire fire fire like it was at IBM. Before that I was at a university and that was pretty slow, but I found ways to keep myself busy and complete projects.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:29 UTC
It definitely varies. Lately, it's been insane for me. Right now I'm taking a breather because I'm sore from loading half a ton of eWaste onto a pallet this morning, but my plate is and has been completely full for a couple of weeks now.
When things slow down; there is always planning, maintenance, walk-throughs, research, etc... I never really have that "pulse-check" feeling any more.

so which would you rather have tim??? if money was no object? the snore fest or the grinder?
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:30 UTC
I feel like you are my boss, undercover, so, I plead the fifth.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:36 UTC
There is always something that you can be doing, I have never been bored in IT because part of my job is anticipating what people are going to want/need and building it before they ask.
If I have everything up to date and there are no fires to put out there is still plenty of job to do.
Update docs, make sure all the software is up to date, check your OS updates, build up scripts etc etc.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:36 UTC
wait....am i supposed to be doing something here????
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:36 UTC
Half the day actually working on issues "break and fix". The other half preventive maintenance, Social updates, and of course Spiceworks.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:38 UTC
It seems like it's either feast or famine. Lately is has seemed for everything that knock off of my to-do list, two more pop up. Today has been kinda slow though, so I'm hoping to crank out some personal projects, take it easy for the rest of the day, and get out of here for the weekend.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:39 UTC
I work my ass off when I need to, and when things are slow I find work to make the time go by, but don't kill myself. I think a lot of people are the same way.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:40 UTC
Every day is different but that keeps it interesting. I try to take advantage of the slow days by straightening up, checking logs on the servers, update documentation, etc...
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:44 UTC
All just depends on the day. Some days it feels like I am running around in circles getting so much of nothing done it's not funny. Other days I feel the need for a nap by noon because I have been too busy. Guess it balances out in the end. As long as the boss is happy I must be doing enough.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:46 UTC
I have no shortage of work. Lately I'm on the 3 day rule, I can focus on any project for about 3 days. then I have to abandon it completely for the next 2 months while I work on other projects.
The one benefit to being overly busy is I can pick my battles. If you are an annoying user I can easily and justifiably ignore your issues while I deal with everything else.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:46 UTC
I always try to put a full 8 in. Some days I'll go over that, others I don't. I never really know when another catastrophe will strike!
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:52 UTC
so which would you rather have tim??? if money was no object? the snore fest or the grinder?
Well that changes from day to day, too :)
My wife and I just bought a house. It doesn't need much in the way of repairs, but it needs a LOT of updating (I think it was the original set for I Dream Of Genie, and hasn't been updated since), so I'd love some spare time at work to deal with house issues. While we're waiting for escrow to close, we're spending every evening and weekend at home improvement stores getting ideas for appliances, tile, wood flooring, paint, etc... I'll be doing most of the work myself, except for some electrical. And it has a 35,000 gal swimming pool, so I'm becoming an expert in pool water chemistry.
Still, all-in-all, I'd prefer a busy workday than a dead one.
Oct 7, 2011 at 1:55 UTC
Sometimes I'm busy the whole day, sometimes only an hour. It all depends. The last two weeks have been quite busy, but overall, not so much.
Oct 7, 2011 at 2:12 UTC
Always busy. Either with tasks or development or research.
Oct 7, 2011 at 2:13 UTC
Like others have said, it depends. I would say some break/fix, support calls, and the projects .... like I am working on a redo of our website to Joomla....And then the SW community of coarse...:->

It ebbs and flows. Mostly flows though. There's always something to do, even if it's updating your documentation.

So many things going on that rumor is that they are going to hire another person to get me away from the day to day "Reboot" or "Is there paper in the printer" and let me focus on the tons of projects that seem to be piling up with no time to accomplish them. I think I kind of brought it all on myself though...the person I replaced was a 2 hour lunch and paint her fingernails kind of person (that the staff didn't like). Once I came in and started doing preventive maintenance and actually using parts from broken computers to fix other computers, they began to realize what IT could/should be and began taking advantage of it. This was fine with me because I don't like to sit around, however the needs/wants kept growing. Now there is more work than I can remotely keep up with.
I'm only here now because I have a splitting headache and wanted something non-work to do that would still look like work :)

Most of the time, I'm pretty busy, but it depends on a lot of things. Some are busier than others, but I almost always find something to keep myself occupied in. Out of 8 hrs, 7:45 hrs are busy.

When I first saw this I thought it was some kind of TGIF joke. Not so sure now.
Most days are more than eight hours - for a reason.
Have not had but one complete weekend off since July.
Don't know about others.

Great retro style
I loved these lamps, they were retro yet modern and the green is a nice pop of color. I did have to send them back because one of the lamps wasn't packed well from the manufacturer and a shade was damaged beyond repair. Since they were a set I had no choice but to return them. It's too bad but I expect to receive a product that is in top condition for that price. If you order these just make sure you inspect the items immediately for damage. Lamp shades are fragile.Read More

David Vandyke has a definite Golden Slipper horse in his stable and by the end of the week he could have a wildcard for The Championships.
But the promise of a profitable autumn isn't enough to stop the trainer from quitting Sydney racing.
Vandyke has announced plans to move to Queensland where he will train out of the Sunshine Coast racetrack at Caloundra.
It's a move that has been in the making since last year's Brisbane winter carnival, but one that has still taken the industry by surprise.
Vandyke said he wasn't enjoying the demands of running a yard in Sydney and trying to compete with the mega stables led by Chris Waller.
"I'm not really into sitting in the office too long if I can help it. Working one on one with the horses is what I enjoy most," he said.
Vandyke plans to be up and running in Queensland in time for the start of the new racing season in August.
In the meantime his focus will be on having Yankee Rose right to go first-up in next month's Golden Slipper and of more immediate concern will be the return to racing of a lightly raced three-year-old at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.
Once Were Warriors resumes in the TAB Rewards Handicap and holds nominations for the ATC Australian Derby and the Doncaster Mile, two marquee group 1 races run during The Championships in April.
Bred on staying lines, Once Were Warriors hasn't been seen at the races since a midweek debut stamped him as a horse of considerable promise.
After being last to leave the barriers and racing too far out of his ground, Once Were Warriors found the line better than anything to be beaten less than three lengths over 1100 metres.
He resumes at 1400m in a race where the gelding has already attracted support.
"If the race was over a mile at Randwick I'd be a bit more confident, but in saying that I think he is a horse on he way up and he should run well," Vandyke said.
The trainer will also start Arsonist at Warwick Farm, confident the colt will show his true form after failing in the wet at Canterbury.
Meantime, Luke Nolen could make his long-awaited return to race riding next week.
Nolen, a three-time Melbourne premiership winner and the regular rider of the champion Black Caviar, hasn't ridden in a race for seven months after undergoing surgery on his back. He has been riding trackwork at Caulfield for the past five weeks and is looking forward to an impending return.
"I've had a long build-up to get back to the races and the body is fine," Nolen said. "My fitness is getting there but there's no substitute for race riding. I'll probably take it easy the first week or 10 days once I get back but I'll ride often and then it will take care of itself."
He said he was hoping to make a return in the next seven to 10 days.
"We'll just have to see where I'm at," he said. "I'm confident my body is fine so it will be around that time that I'll be making a return to the races." Nolen's weight got to 70 kilograms during his time out but he is down to 60kg and expects to be 57kg for his return.
He said he had enjoyed riding trackwork in recent weeks and not having to rush to leave afterwards to lose weight or brush up on form before going to races.
"So that's been really rewarding being able to take my time and enjoy riding work," he said.
Nolen had a prolapsed disc between his L4 and L5 vertebrae.

No Roll Sweet Crust
Be the first to review
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by JustAMuggle
I wanted a shortbread crust but didn't want to roll out the dough or let it rest. In the end I came up with this recipe. It's buttery enough to taste good, but I can press it into my tart pans and pie plates. No floury countertop mess or rolling pin. Yay!
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups flour
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1⁄2 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- Add dry ingredients to a large bowl.
- Add the butter and using a fork or butter knife cut it in a bit to make the butter into bits the size of sugar cubes. This seems to help the butter distribute better once the oil is added.
- Then add the oil.
- With your hand (or hands) rub the butter and oil into the flour/sugar. When you're done there will be no dry flour remaining and you'll be able to form a ball.
- Press the pastry into a pie plate or tart forms.
- Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent the crust from forming bubbles and place in a 350 degree fahrenheit oven. Cooking times will vary, but expect 15 to 20 minutes for a light crust.
- Note: This has only been used for Lemon Tarts and Cook & Serve Pudding fillings. I have not used it for longer cooking fillings and don't know how it would fare for things like Pumpkin Pie, etc.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I'm on a F-1 visa and was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. I have completed a diversion program in which i did not have to make any guilty pleas whatsoever. From my research, this is not a conviction for immigration purposes. I have checked with my lawyer already. The case is going to be dismissed. I am currently outside of the US right now and would be returning. I would most likely be sent to secondary inspection at POE to provide more details about the case and if they ask me to explain everything about the case, can i remain silent? I want to be cooperative but not be making any admissions to the crime either.
Most likely your lawyer is a criminal defense, and not an immigration, attorney.
That person needs to get an immigration attorney on your 'team'. Or, you need to have a consultation with an immigration attorney at your own expense.
SILENCE is NOT golden. You need to have court papers in your hand ... especially if your research supports your belief that it isn't an immigration conviction.
FORMER IMMIGRATION LAW PROFESSOR -- LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This answer is offered for informational purposes only. It does not constitute an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
As a matter of fact, the lawyers that i have consulted with are all immigration lawyers of whom are a member of AILA. Yes, i will have court papers in my hand regarding the dismissal of the case and that i have not pled guilty. If you say that silence isn't golden in my case, how can i overcome questions which are directed towards having me explaining the details of the crime? Eg. Tell me what happened during the night of the crime? Did you possess these items knowingly?..etc I do want to be as honest as possible when answering to a CBP officer's questions. But explaining to them the details of my case would jeopardize my chances to be admitted into the U.S. It's kind of like forcing me to make an admission. So remaining silent would still be the safest option if i were to be asked those questions.
Are you saying that you paid consultation fees to more than one AILA lawyer, and that not one of them gave you advice on how to respond to questions ... if you were ever pulled into secondary inspection? If so, you are welcome to contact me off-line to chat a bit: firstname.lastname@example.com
You state that you have a lawyer. That person is most familiar with the case and the best person to advise you.Ask a similar question
My lawyer has advised me that it is not in my best interest to admit to any wrongdoings to the CBP officer. He is not 100% certain either, if i choose to be silent, i would be subject to further intense interrogation and put my situation in further risk. I am just here to ask a general question for more opinions on this matter. I understand this is quite an out of the ordinary question too.
Since this is a case-specific inquiry, I would recommend consulting with your counsel. I would imagine that if you specifically asked re: an incident or arrest at the POE, you cannot remain silent about that, but instead must divulge the facts surrounding the case. Again, consult with your attorney.
This information is for informational and educational use only and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Actually i am just asking the question in general. Would it count as being uncooperative if i remained silent when asked to explain details about my case, and be sent back home because of that? For any case for that matter.

Today the server that only houses Spiceworks and our ManageEngine software can not be accessed via RDP.
We are able to get to the log in screen, but once our password is entered we get the error that the RPC server is unavailable.
I am thinking it is in the routes saved within the computer. Pinging to the PC works as it should, and we can log into the computer locally, just not RDP.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Maybe the RDP service has failed or a firewall has changed.
The computer should not be saving routes, only routers normally have routes. It would be very odd for a server to have static routes on it.
Mar 23, 2012 at 3:37 UTC
That's weird. If you get a login screen, I would assume the rdp connection has been made. I'd look at the event logs on the target server and maybe try connecting to the rdp console session.
Mar 23, 2012 at 3:41 UTC
Saw this and it is a long read. Get a comfy chair, kindle a good fire, and review:
Mar 23, 2012 at 3:48 UTC
it could (and i can't stress this enough, could) be an issue with hitting max concurrent connections, usually that has it's own error message, but i've seen it throw others.
Have you tried hitting it up using the -admin switch?
If it's virtual (i assume it's not or you would have said something) you should be able to hit it's console on your Virtualization platform and diagnose it there.
If not, go local.
Once you're in check the event log for anything odd, then give it a reboot and see if that clears it.
If it doesn't and you get a services failed error, it's a service issue, if it didn't clear and doesn't give you the error it's something else, if you can log in keep an eye on it and read that bore of an article Denis posted.
Odds are probably equal that it's a fluke and a real problem (it's windows :\\).
Look to the usual suspects like new software and hardware for troubleshooting first.
And remember, with your shield or on it. We're all counting on you, and don't call me Shirley.

Did you install ms12-020 patch? There are some know issue with this patch. If yes, check if you have newest SP for the system and reinstall the patch.
Mar 26, 2012 at 3:03 UTC
Yes this is a physical machine. We are able to use Logmein to get into the computer, but this is not ideal.
I went in and rebuilt the routing table for the computer, installed updates, checked for the ms12-020 patch (was not installed), went through the guide that Denise spoke of.
The computer has two NIC cards installed for use by different VLANs, neither is able to be logged into via RDP past the login screen.
The error screen did start giving a different error though. (See below)
Mar 26, 2012 at 6:05 UTC
It seems that the issue is the second NIC card. After disabling the NIC for the second VLAN everything started working as it should again. If I find out what is reason is for the second NIC creating this issue I will report back.

If you are amongst the many millions of people in the USA and the world that have high LDL cholesterol levels, you should know that it is critical that you get this condition managed. High levels of LDL may bring about plaques build-up in the arterial blood vessels, leading to obstructions that may trigger coronary artery disease, cardiac arrest, and stroke. Fortunately, high LDL levels is not an irreversible condition. It is possible to lower that numbers naturally with diet and lifestyle changes.
What is LDL Cholesterol?
LDL stands for Low-Density Lipoprotein and it is more generally called LDL cholesterol, LDL-C or "bad" cholesterol. As cholesterol is a lipid or fat molecule, it cannot move freely in the bloodstream because it is unable to mix with water. For that reason, to be carried in your circulatory system to cells that require it for several functions, cholesterol has to be paired with proteins to form a particle termed as a lipoprotein. LDL composition is approximately 50 % of cholesterol and just 25 % of protein while HDL particles are made up of 20 % cholesterol and 50 % protein. As fat is less dense as protein, LDL cholesterol has less density than HDL cholesterol. That is why they are called "low-density" lipoproteins and "high-density" lipoproteins. These two lipoproteins are responsible for cholesterol transportation in the body. However, they function in a different way as they do not convey cholesterol to the same parts of the body. From the liver to the cells, LDL is the one in charge of carrying cholesterol in your body to be used for hormone synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, cell membrane stability and many other functions. LDL role is thus critical; but why is it called "bad" cholesterol?
"Bad" Cholesterol Explanation
– While transporting cholesterol in the bloodstream, LDL sometimes deposit in the arterial walls, a process that begins in middle childhood.
– In order to preserve the arteries, white blood cells called macrophages act as scavengers devouring LDL and attempt to digest it. During the operation, LDL is transformed into an oxidized and toxic form.
– The body responds by sending more macrophages as well as other types of white blood cell to the location, developing continuous systemic inflammation in the arterial wall.
– As time passes, additional LDL with other cells accumulate in the wall until it results in plaque, a build-up in the arterial wall composed of cholesterol particles, cells, and cellular debris.
– As the plaque grows, it gradually obstructs the blood flow in the artery.
– In a worst-case scenario, there will an abrupt break of the plaque surface creating a blood clot that may bring about a heart attack if the artery role is to supply blood to the heart, or can cause a stroke if the artery is linked to the brain.
Due to these negative effects of high LDL cholesterol, it has been attributed the nickname of "bad" cholesterol.
What are the Recommended Levels?
For young kids in good health, the ideal LDL levels are between 25 and 50 mg/dL as plaque build-up has not yet begun in their heart artery walls. When you grow up the normal number is lower than 100 mg/dL enabling you to drastically lower risk of coronary artery disease. However, when you have established heart disease or diabetes, it is even recommended to seek an LDL score of 70 mg/dL. Levels between 100 and 129 are close to optimal while between 130 and 159 mg/dL they are close to high with more risk of heart diseases when compared with previous ranges. Levels between 160 and 189 are considered high and over 190 very high with a maximum risk of getting symptomatic cardiovascular disease events.
Factors that Affect LDL Cholesterol
Dietary factors
Certain foods are loaded with fats that increase your LDL level. These fats are:
– saturated fats found in animal meat, dairy foods, chocolate, some prepackaged meals as well as deep-fried and refined foods;
– trans fats manufactured by a process of adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to firm it up and used for the preparation of some deep-fried and ready meals.
Physical inactivity and obesity
Not having enough physical exercise may result in weight gain. Carrying excess fat is likely to elevate your LDL level, total cholesterol level and decrease your HDL (good cholesterol) level.
Some people may be predisposed to very high LDL levels due to a hereditary disorder termed Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) that starts at birth, and may trigger cardiac arrest when young. Your health care provider will help you to figure out if you are prone to FH, so it is critical to consult him or her.
Sex and age
As you get older, your levels of LDL cholesterol rise. Men generally have higher LDL numbers as compared with women before 55 years old. But over 55, it is generally the opposite observation.
Nowadays, medical professionals take into account all the factors above and not only the cholesterol readings to assess a person's risk to heart diseases.
How to Lower LDL Naturally
Increase soluble fiber intake
Soluble fiber has the property of reducing the level of LDL in the body. The process occurs with cholesterol absorption which is triggered by soluble fiber that binds cholesterol to bile acids for its excretion. When the body gets low on bile acids, the liver starts pulling LDL cholesterol from the blood and uses it to produce more bile. The result is a decrease in LDL levels in the blood and consequently a lowering of the risk of plaque accumulation. A mere 5g to a 10g increase of the daily fiber intake can lower the LDL by about 5%, as stated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Among the best sources of soluble fiber, there are bran, oatmeal, barley, apples, citrus fruits, and prunes.
Lower your fat consumption
The AHA recommends that the daily fat intake is limited to 25%-35% of the total caloric intake. Out of this daily fat intake, trans-fat shouldn't exceed 1%, while saturated fat should be at maximum 7% of the total caloric intake. This measure is also helpful for decreasing the LDL.
Fish should prevail in your diet
Fatty fish is rich in Omega-3, thus being very effective in lowering the LDL cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the blood. In order for this to happen, fish must be consumed three times a week in place of meat. The best choices include tuna, salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring. Omega-3 has another added benefit on top of the one mentioned above: it can help protect your heart.
Natural herbs are also good for you
Garlic is very effective in fighting atherosclerosis, as revealed in "The Journal of Nutrition", in an article published in 2001. Garlic increases the resistance to LDL oxidation, thus preventing plaque accumulation on the arterial walls.
A study published in 2010 in the "Inflammopharmacology" Journal revealed that ginger has the power of lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. The study was done on animal subjects, but the results are promising also for humans. Anyway, if you don't agree with the taste of ginger in your food, you can always take a supplement in capsule form.
Turmeric is one of the stars in all Indian curry dishes, but it also has a long history of medicinal uses. It was known even in the ancient Ayurvedic medicine, where it was used as a remedy for jaundice. Turmeric is rich in curcumin, a chemical that helps to dissolve blood clots and lowering cholesterol.
Green tea
The health benefits of green tea have been evidenced more than once in various studies, one of them being published in March 2007, in the "Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry". The positive effects of green tea are due to its catechins content, that may limit the absorption of cholesterol and fats in the body.
Weight loss
The weight loss benefits on health can't be stressed enough. They can go as far as to make it possible for insulin-dependant diabetics to give up insulin. A weight loss program can help reduce the bad cholesterol, as stated by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Overweight people are at high risk of developing heart disease, therefore lowering weight may help them reduce this risk and gain a better overall health status. If you are interested, you should discuss with your doctor the most suitable weight loss programs for you.
Regular exercise is one of the main keys to a good and happy life. You need to exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Aerobics, jogging or even a brisk walk can increase your HDL cholesterol, consequently lowering the level of LDL cholesterol. If your body isn't used to exercising, you may consider starting with as little as 10 minutes, then gradually increase your sessions to 30 minutes per day. Discuss your exercise plan with your doctor to make sure it is appropriate.
