The Impress Coffee Brewer:
a one-cup-at-a-time handcrafted coffee brewer.

Ship to the UK or an EU Country:

Ship to Australia: Order from Wayfair!
Hand-Crafted Coffee Without Mechanical Plungers & or Mess!
The Impress is a 2-piece nested press and silicone heat-resistant lid that brews a full-flavored great cup of coffee in 3 minutes or less. After placing fresh grounds in the outer cup and pouring in hot water, let it brew to your taste—we suggest 3 minutes (our coffee experts have tested it and we agree). Then, simply push the inner cup (reverse-flow filter inspired by the portafilter) all the way down, and clean, rich coffee flows up into the vessel as the grounds get pushed down. That's it – you're done – and the result is full-bodied and delicious! The grounds stay at the bottom and out of your coffee until you are ready to pull the inner cup filter back out to clean it. The filter technology keeps the grounds from brewing any further after the coffee is pressed, so you only get the 3 minute brew you intended, even if the coffee stays put for a while longer!
Clean & Full-Flavored
The inner stainless steel cup is designed as a reverse flow filter that is pressed down after the appropriate brewing time and nests inside the outer cup. It is inspired by the portafilter, so it allows you some flexibility with the grind size.
The Impress is uniquely designed so that brewing stops completely once the inner and outer cups are fully nested. The tiny filter holes work well with various grind sizes (a medium grind achieves best results), and the filter traps the grounds below the finished coffee so it can't overbrew or let sediment in. No more overbrewed bitterness or muddy sediment of traditional press pots! With a stainless steel construction and filter, you can rest assured you will only be tasting the flavor of the coffee itself.
See Making Coffee for thorough instructions.
Hot to Taste, Cool to Touch
With a double-walled outer cup and the nested inner cup, the Impress is a triple-insulated vessel that keeps your coffee hot for a while— like REALLY hot! The outside stays cool to the touch, and with the silicone lid in place, the heat stays even longer! The lid is even designed so you can drink straight from the Impress if you can't wait. If you want it that fast though, pouring into another cup is the way to go…it's just too hot to drink otherwise. You might even decide to share some of your coffee with a co-worker (in which case, maybe you should refrain from gulping it right out of the brewer. The Impress makes 14oz of coffee, enough for 2 people to share.
Easy Cleaning
Because the Impress is made of simple parts rather than intricate coils, filters, mechanisms and plungers, there aren't those little crevices for grounds and oils to get trapped in. Just knock out the grounds and give a quick rinse to be ready for your next delicious cup.
See Care Instructions for thorough cleaning guidance.

Juan Francisco
Those are the top 3B choices available right now. They all have much better production than Moustakas, though all but Francisco have low BAs, and the problem with him is that he's still platooning and I don't think I can risk that if this will be my only 3B.
Based on the lineups for the past week, all of these guys have sat out two or three games, so I'm wondering if any others are in a platoon situation as well, or if they just had regular days off.
Thoughts about what to do with Moustakas? He's really annoying me, but I don't want to be hasty either.

A woman charged with mistreating 158 dogs at theSanctuary Animal Refuge west of Fort Pierce was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison, primarily for stealing the money that was supposed to go toward the animals' care.
Palena Rae Dorsey, 60, was charged with 158 counts of animal cruelty in April 2011 after St. Lucie County sheriff's deputies discovered deplorable conditions at the shelter Dorsey ran at 9550 Carlton Road. Conditions included her malnourished dogs infected with heartworm and suffering from open and unhealed sores, mange, dehydration, diarrhea and fleas crowded into pens, lying in feces and urine.
During Monday's hearing, Deputy Rick Stuhr of the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office started showing Circuit Judge Gary Sweet a number of photos of dogs taken from the shelter and conditions there. After numerous photos, Sweet said, "That's enough."
Dorsey also was charged with first-degree grand theft after authorities determined she used money from a $500,000 trust for the animals' care from the estate of Laura Linscott, founder of Dogs and Cats Forever, to buy a home in Fort Pierce, cars, a motor home, electronics and appliances.
Sweet sentenced Dorsey to 10 years in prison for the grand theft and five years for the cruelty charges, which had been reduced to 16 counts, one for each of the dogs from the shelter that had to be euthanized.
Sweet allowed Dorsey to serve the two terms concurrently, but he also ordered her to serve 20 years of probation after her release from prison. During that time, Dorsey is to repay $305,54.71, the amount authorities were able to prove she stole.
Sweet also ordered that Dorsey can own no more than three animals.
Speaking barely above a murmur, Dorsey said she was sorry for what she had done, adding that she was "overwhelmed" by the number of animals in her care.
"I'm devastated," Dorsey said. "I love animals."
Several former co-workers who spoke on Dorsey's behalf agreed she let her love of animals consume her.
Scott Fuerst, an attorney who worked with Dorsey at a Fort Lauderdale firm and is a cofounder of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, said Dorsey was "compassionate to a fault" and didn't know how to "draw the line" when there were animals for which she couldn't care.
"She couldn't turn down that call in the middle of the night" about an animal that needed to be rescued, Fuerst said.
Fuerst said Dorsey "did the best she could, but circumstances overcame her. She made mistakes, but she deserves what she gave to the animals she rescued: a second chance."
Assistant State Attorney Lev Evans countered that Dorsey already has had second and third chances.
Dorsey was arrested in 1996 for stealing from an elderly person she was supposed to be caring for, Evans said, adding that Dorsey now has four theft-related convictions.
"This is a horrific case of animal abuse," Evans said, "and a horrific case of theft from a charity."
Animal lovers, veterinarians and volunteers with the humane societies along the Treasure Coast donated their time and medical supplies to nurse the surviving animals back to health.
Dorsey's facility was the former site of the Dogs & Cats Forever no-kill shelter, which moved to 4600 Selvitz Road in December 2010 after a dispute with Linscott.
Jay Apicella, executive director of Dogs & Cats Forever, called Dorsey's sentence "just."
"I saw the horror that was out there," Apicella said.

Community Connections
Veterans Project of South Florida – SOFAR (2008-2012)
Co-sponsors: The Florida Psychoanalytic Society and The Southeast Florida Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology
Support for this project was provided by The Dade Community Foundation's BRAIVE Fund and The American Psychoanalytic Foundation
The Veterans Project of South Florida SOFAR was a group of about 35 psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers and other mental health professionals who volunteered to provide free, confidential counseling, psychotherapy and other mental health services to Iraq and Afghan war troops, veterans and/or their families. The Project was jointly sponsored by the Florida Psychoanalytic Society and the SouthEast Florida Association for Psychoanalytic Psychology (SEFAPP), which is a local chapter of Division 39 of the American Psychological Association.
The Project was started because there were not sufficient mental health resources available to meet the needs of the troops deployed in the current wars and their families. Florida was third-highest among all states in number of military personnel deployed. Its needs are high and its resources are limited.
20 percent of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan showed symptoms of PTSD, substance abuse, depression, and family problems. Many did not seek treatment because of stigmatization. Reservists and National Guard personnel often had difficulty in obtaining treatment because unlike the regular military they went directly back to civilian life after discharge and did not have access to the psychiatric services provided on military bases. Their spouses and family members, who suffered from the "collateral damage" of military life, were usually not eligible for VA services.
The Project aimed to fill some of these gaps in services. Psychoanalytic clinicians have unique expertise in psychotherapy and family dynamics. We understand the long-term nature of mental health problems and the impact of trauma on families and through later generations. Much of society overlooked our troops and their sacrifices, but this program gave us an opportunity to provide needed services to the communities in which we live, at no charge.
The Project received grant support from the American Psychoanalytic Foundation and the Florida BrAIve (A for Afghanistan, I for Iraq) Fund of the Dade Community Foundation. We were part of a network of organizations put together to provide a wide variety of services to returning troops in South Florida. The Project provided consultations and training to many of those agencies, and collaborated with them for cross-referrals and coordination of services.
The Project was governed by a Steering Committee which met monthly. Committee members were divided between the two sponsoring groups. It was the Florida chapter of SOFAR, a Boston-based group that provided the same services.

- For our family, music has become more than just a catchy tune or a lovely melody. It's the lullaby I sing for Rachel when she needs some comfort. It's the rockin' rhyme Tyce teaches me about fire safety. It's the Mozart that Bryce and I listen to as we work together on Saturday mornings. It's the song the four of us sing together every night before bed, just before saying the last "I love you." In short, it's what touches our hearts and makes us laugh--it's the best part of ourselves that we share with each other.—Rebecca Z. Jones

Health Briefs for Aug. 8
Note: "Wednesday" refers to Aug. 8
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: Scripps Health is enrolling patients in a clinical trial of an investigational treatment that shows promise to control high blood pressure by calming hyperactive nerves. The procedure, called renal denervation, could potentially help the nearly 6 million Americans and 100 million people worldwide who have treatment-resistant hypertension. Renal denervation is a minimally invasive procedure in which a physician threads a catheter into the arteries leading to the kidney, then delivers pulses of radio-frequency energy that interrupt the signaling in nerves to and from that organ. The study will enroll approximately 530 treatment-resistant hypertension patients across several U.S. medical centers. Contact Chelsea Butler at 858-554-5374 for more about the clinical trial. Prospective participants also are encouraged to visit www.SymplifyBPtrial.com, to learn more about the Symplicity HTN-3 study and their potential eligibility for the trial. People considering participation in the trial should be diagnosed with hypertension and unable to control their hypertension even when taking three or more blood pressure medications.

Minister of Tourism promises :
Tourism revival in three months
Anura Bandaranaike is a leading member of the UPFA Government. He rendered yeoman service towards the formation of the United Peoples Freedom Alliance. Mr. Bandaranaike in an interview with journalist Gamini Bandaranayake outlines the measures adopted by his Ministry to revive the tourism industry following the tsunami disaster
Question:- Colossal damage has been caused to the tourism industry by the tsunami tidal waves. As Minister in-charge of the subject what steps are you taking to revive the industry?
Answer:- The damage has been so grave that it has not been fully estimated yet. All small hotels along the beach had been wiped out while several three and five star hotels too had been washed away. Tourism industry took the biggest beating because most of its hotels were centred around the coastal areas.
Bringing back normalcy to the tourism industry is one of the biggest challenges facing us today. We have drawn up short term, medium term and long term plans to revive the industry. Some of the hotels are already back in business.
We have plans to revive the tourism industry within three months. The industry will be normal and fully operational within a year. Even tourists who were caught up in the tsunami have promised to help us in this endeavour and visit Sri Lanka once again.
Question:- The brunt of the tsunami disaster was faced by the coastal areas where most parts of the tourism industry was centred. How are you going to rebuild the small and big hotels damaged by it?
Answer:- The Government will provide interest-free loans for rebuilding damaged hotels. Some big hotels had lost their furniture, electrical items, kitchen equipment and vehicles in the tidal wave. They will be given tax exemptions to import such items.
That's exactly what most hotel owners had asked. My endeavour is to provide all possible relief and concessions to hoteliers in consultation with the Treasury.
Question:- More than 200 tourists are said to have been killed in the tsunami tidal wave. What action is the Government taking to send their bodies back to their home countries?
Answer:- Bodies identified had already been sent back to the respective countries. Some of the remaining bodies are kept in police morgues in deep freezers to enable relatives to come and remove them after identification.
Question:- As soon as you became Minister you drew up an action plan to develop the tourism industry. What are the new features that have to be incorporated in it in the context of the present situation?
Answer:- This was quite an unexpected and unforeseen tragedy. All plans have to be amended to uplift the industry in a manner it could face upto tsunami situations. But I don't think there will be another tsunami for another 200 years.
Question:- Haven't certain hotel owners faced problems in getting their insurance claims in respect of hotels damaged in the tsunami tidal wave? How are you going to intervene to solve this problem?
Answer:- Most of the hotels had obtained insurance cover against flood and earthquake situations. Some insurance companies think that there are legal impediments against the payment of compensation for tsunami situations.
The tsunami originated from an earthquake and, therefore, insurance companies cannot disclaim liability to pay compensation. However I am hoping to find a quick solution to this problem after discussing it with the Minister of Finance and planning.
Question:- Some tourists have expressed fears about another tsunami. What action are you taking to dispel such fears?
Answer:- We will have close contacts with international tsunami monitoring and warning centres. Once we obtain sophisticated equipment for such a warning system we will be able to warn the public at least 2 hours before such a disaster occurs.
Question:- The Government has taken a policy decision to prohibit construction of buildings and structures within a radius of 100 to 200 metres from the coast. How will this rule affect existing hotels within this stretch?
Answer:- Partially damaged hotels within the 100 metre stretch including large scale hotels will be allowed to rebuild them. In the case of hotels completely washed away the 100 to 200 metre rule will apply as regards rebuilding them. Hotels approved by the BOI will not be affected by this regulation.
Question:- This tragedy has brought about a certain amount of accord between the opposition and the Government as well as between the LTTE and the Government. Can't we transform this into a new beginning?
Answer:- Tsunami did not discriminate against UNPers, SLFPers or JVPers. This was a tragedy common to all Sri Lankans. We can indulge in party politics later. First, we must provide relief to the affected people. All political parties should place the country first in facing this tragedy. The present dialogue among political parties is a healthy sign.
It was because the Japanese people joined hands that Japan was able to rise from the ashes after the devastation caused by the atom bomb. All political parties should shelve petty political difference and assist the Government in rebuilding the nation at this hour.
Political parties which failed in this duty will be spurned by the people.
Question: Although UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has promised unqualified support of his party to the Government in the nation rebuilding effort certain sections of the UNP had been critical of the Government. How do you see this?
Answer- UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe is an experienced politician who had been a parliamentarian for more than 25 years. That is why he is pledging his support to the Government. On the other hand, if the UNP failed to do so at this hour it will become very unpopular.
People like Dr. Rajitha Senaratne, Prof. G. L. Peiris, and Ravi Karunanayake envy this Government. Ranil has no such envy or hatred. Respectable UNPers think that they should support the Government at this moment. Others don't care even if the country is doomed. That's why they are criticising the Government.
Question:- Is the distribution of relief among affected people being conducted systematically?
Answer:- I was visiting USA at the time of this disaster. People there who never knew an iota about our country are now fully aware about Sri Lanka. Americans who flocked to Buddhist temples there after hearing of the disaster responded magnanimously by offering assistance for the victims.
We have now received relief goods from nearly 60 friendly countries and they are now being distributed among the affected people without any discrimination.
Question:- But there are allegations about irregularies and the lack of a proper government machinery to distribute relief.
Answer:- A proper machinery for the distribution of relief is a must. If not there will be duplication. You remember the manner in which roofing sheets received from India were distributed during the UNP regime.
Our party too may have certain bad hats who may try to pocket some of the relief items. It was the UNP which created precedents for such corrupt activities and therefore it is the duty of the UNP to correct such wrongs.
Even the United Nations Organisation had commended the Government saying it had responded in an excellent manner from the time of the disaster.
Sri Lanka was the quickest to respond to the calamity from among the tsunami devastated countries. If not how can there be such progress in the relief, rescue and rebuilding effort in such a short time?
Question:- There have been allegations that the JVP had been trying to gain political capital out of the situation by putting up their party banners while engaging in relief work. Is this true?
Answer:- The JVP is doing a great service towards bringing back affected areas to normality. Whatever it is, the JVP is a dedicated political party and what we ought to do is to learn lessons from it without being jealous of it. The JVP too should try to do a sincere and dedicated service without much ado.
Question:- Some people accuse you of being indifferent and that being a responsible Minister you continued your foreign trip without returning home soon after the disaster. What do you say to it?
Answer:- A certain Sinhala newspaper had levelled accusations against me. People behind this paper have a Bandaranaike phobia. They castigate the President and me. This is very strange. I don't know why they resort to this type of mud-slinging.
I planned to return home the very next day after the tsunami disaster. But that day being boxing day and the end of an year there were heavy bookings for air travel and I could not obtain a seat till January 6.
I took the first opportunity I got to return home. I gave the necessary instructions to the Ministry and officials on steps to meet the contingency and resuscitate the tourism industry.
Question:- Some people say that you are very competent in making political predictions. What is your forecast about the future political situation in the country?
Answer:- I am not a good forecaster. But some political predictions I made have come true. Some people said the SLFP and JVP would never join hands. But I said that these two parties would join hands and that would be a certainty as the sun and moon.
After the alliance was formed I predicted that the UNP would suffer an ignominious defeat at the general elections and that too became a reality. The UNP went home and we formed the Government. But I cannot make predictions about nature.
But I can assure that we will not face another tsunami for another 200 years.

Customized Concrete Mixes Fortify I-5 Willamette River Bridge
Oregon Department of Transportation
The Willamette River Bridge's deck-arch design takes shape as crews pour the first batch of the arches' concrete.
Crew members vibrate the concrete while it's placed into the arches' rebar-congested formwork, filling every nook and cranny.
Crews finished portions of the arch concrete by hand, contorting their bodies to reach every corner.
Some of the bridge's features, including its piers, extend underground, requiring project team members to pour the concrete with limited light.
To ensure the deck would have no voids, crews vibrated the concrete to remove entrapped air.
Even in the rain, crews continued to pour the deck's high-performance concrete.
A Bid-Well paver finished the deck surface, guaranteeing motorists a smooth ride across the bridge.
The completed arches of the southbound structure stand strong in the Willamette River.
When the new Interstate 5 Willamette River Bridge in Eugene-Springfield, Ore., is open to traffic in 2013, it will be a fitting high point to the Oregon Department of Transportation's (ODOT) OTIA III State Bridge Delivery Program, a $1.3 billion program to address 365 aging bridges statewide, begun in 2003.
The $204 million bridge is an elegant solution to a behemoth construction challenge. The southbound and northbound structures will be approximately 1800 feet long, with 9 and 10 approach spans, respectively, to traverse a railroad, a 4-lane local highway, and 2 parks in addition to the river. The deck-arch design places only a single pier in the water, leaving plenty of room for salmon migration upstream and river recreation downstream.
Most impressive of all, the southbound bridge alone is made up of 17 specialized concrete mixes, customized for each component—drilled shafts, columns, arches, and deck—out of 27 created as options.
The recently completed southbound bridge has 20 shafts, 6 of which extend below the riverbed. They posed an environmental challenge for Knife River, Portland, Ore., the project's concrete subcontractor. Even though the shafts were surrounded by rock, there was a chance that the concrete could leak into the river during placement. To protect the riparian habitat, Knife River created a mix that included a special anti-washout additive to hold the concrete together.
According to Randy Kessler, concrete quality coordinator in the construction-structures section of the ODOT Materials Lab, the use of an anti-washout additive is unusual. "I can only think of a few other projects where it has been used," says Kessler. "Even though the concrete was contained, the anti-washout additive was an extra measure that protected the river."

The Secret World Heads To The Big Apple In Upcoming Expansion
By Ryan Winslett 4 years ago comments
The Secret World is about to get its largest update yet as upcoming add-on Issue #4: Big Trouble in the Big Apple, prepares to launch later this month.
No official launch date has been announced yet other than soon and this November, but that means players wont have more than a couple of weeks to wait before they can get their hands on the fourth content expansion to hit Funcoms latest MMO.
In a market overrun with for-pay and free-to-play MMOs, The Secret World has little trouble standing out from the crowd. For starters, its set in the modern day rather than the typical fantasy adventure setting. Also, rather than battling the standard orcs and goblins, Secret World players instead wage war against nightmare creatures like werewolves, vampires and all sorts of nasties that go bump in the night.
To celebrate the upcoming release of Issue #4, Funcom has launched a pretty meaty breakdown video narrated by Game Director Joel Bylos, giving players a better idea of what they can expect out of the games trip to New York.
Issue #4 promises to be the biggest expansion to hit The Secret World since the games launch just four months ago. For starters, the DLC will introduce The Manhattan Zone, the games very first raid set in the middle of a terrorized Times Square with a big set of challenges for groups of 10 players.
Other additions include the new chainsaw weapon, a new combat mode that lets you select your targets by pointing a reticule with your mouse, updates to the PvP components and The Albion Theater, which allows players to actually put on their own plays using props, lighting, etc.
For more info on the Secret World and the upcoming Issue#4 expansion, head on over to the games official website.

The Duplass Brother's Latest Effort The Do-Deca Pentathlon Hits Blu-ray Today
By Jessica Grabert 2012-09-18 21:51:58 comments
The Duplass brothers films are never made with a huge budget or a lot of fanfare, but they do a great job of showing poignant moments in everyday life, as well as portraying weird familial relationships. The Do-Deca fPentathlon is no exception, and if you missed out on the weirdness and the laughs in the films festival release, The Do-Deca Pentathlon is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download, beginning today.
Like Jeff Who Lives at Home, The Do-Deca Pentathlon follows two grown brothers who have trouble seeing eye-to-eye. In The Do-Deca Pentathlons case, however, our two protagonists are brothers who have been estranged for a long while. After a family reunion brings Mark (Steve Zissis) and Jeremy (Mark Kelly) back together, the two embark on a ridiculous 25-event challenge involving sports like laser tag, ping pong, hitting baseballs at the batting cage, and even running a 5K. Things get heated in the ultimate battle to determine which brother is the true champion, and which is simply the sore loser.
Both the Cyrus and Jeff Who Lives at Home sets have come out with few bonus features and little fanfare, and The Do-Deca Pentathlon looks pretty similar. This time around, Twentieth Century Fox has put together a set with only two bonus featurettes, that both seem as if they will focus on Mark and Jeremy, which is fitting. You can check out the very short, but complete, list of bonus features, below.

Tyson Chandler Ranked 23rd Best Player in NBA by ESPN -- Too High, Right?
New York Knicks' Tyson Chandler (L) blocks the ball away from Miami Heat's Chris Bosh in the first half during their NBA basketball game in New York, April 15, 2012. (Photo: REUTERS)
ESPN's summer long project, the NBA Rank, is now in its home stretch, and today, the sports media giant revealed the "25 through 21" portion of its list. Surely, arguments could be made for the location of every ranking, but let's take single out New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler's number 23 spot. Just because.
Could the famous great New York media hype be in play again? New York City is, afterall, the mecca of basketball and the media capital of the world. It's natural that everything here becomes a bit overhyped (we bet anything Carmelo Anthony will be ranked a few spots too high on this ESPN list too). For example, many basketball fans agreed that, had Jeremy Lin broke out with, say, the Sacramento Kings, "Linsanity" wouldn't have been nearly as big. Or that, had Reggie Miller's heroics happened against the Milwaukee Bucks, it wouldn't have been as big a deal. There's just something about New York City. Bright lights, big city.
Follow Us :
Listen, it's not that we don't like Tyson Chandler. We know he's one of the best defenders in the league. Heck, he was probably the second most important Maverick during the team's 2011 title run (Dirk's probably still shaking his head at Mark Cuban's decision to let him walk), But 23 is still too high considering Chandler's lack of offensive ability.
Consider this: Manu Ginobili, who is one of the greatest winners in all of basketball (have to factor in his European titles and Olympic gold medal along with the three NBA titles) and someone who always steps up in big games, is only ranked 25. James Harden, who, despite being overshadowed by his more lauded teammates, is probably the best passer and smartest offensive player on the Oklahoma City Thunder, is ranked 26.
Then there's Tim Duncan, the greatest power forward of all time, at 27. Yes he's aged and his game has declined. But he still averaged 17 and 10, with 2 blocks while anchoring his team's defense in the playoffs last season.
Chandler, by the way, averaged 6 points, 9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in the playoffs.
The Knicks center is also ranked above Andre Iguodala, who is every bit as good a defender on the perimeter as Chandler is in the paint, only Iguodala is also his team's best player. That team, the 76ers, went further in the playoffs than Chandler's team too.
Looking on the other end, Kyrie Irving, whom everyone agrees is the next big superstar, is ranked only one spot above Chandler. Kevin Garnett, who is probably every bit as good a defender as Chandler is while being literally twice the offensive player, is only ranked two spots above Chandler.
Tyson Chandler is a wonderful player, but his one-sided skillset means he is, at the very best, a secondary player. He can never truly be a team's go-to player. So how can he be the 23rd best player in the NBA?
That's them New York City hype for ya.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Yolanda Foster: "Joanna Krupa Did Not Cause Mohamed and I's Divorce"
There have been plenty of rumors flying around about what exactly happened between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster's ex-husband Mohamed Hadid and Real Housewives of Miami star Joanna Krupa. So Yolanda is setting the record straight on whether Joanna had anything to do with their divorce.
Brandi Glanville's name got dragged into the RHOM Season 3 Reunion drama earlier this month when Adriana De Moura called Joanna a "home wrecker" and said Brandi told her that Joanna slept with Mohamed while he was still with Yolanda. Brandi maintains that Joanna and Mohamed definitely slept together, while Mohamed and Joanna vehemently deny it.
So who is telling the truth? Well, Yolanda herself doesn't seem to care. "Joanna Krupa did not cause Mohamed and I's divorce," Yolanda writes in her Bravo blog. "Unfortunately, infidelity did, but at this point, 12 years later, we have left that negative chapter behind and have moved on to be friends and are united parents to our children."
"I always like to remind myself that the most honorable people of all are not those who never make mistakes, but those who admit to them when they do and then move on and do their best to right the wrongs they have made," Yolanda adds.
We love Yolanda's attitude, and it is really great that Yolanda and Mohamed have become so close, despite their marital issues.
Do you think Yolanda truly believes that Mohamed and Joanna didn't sleep together, or does Yolanda just not blame Joanna for the end of her marriage?

Water and Iraq
Posted: April 14, 2011
The phone call came at lunch time, "My grandchildren are getting diarrhea at our house, my wife thinks it might be our well, where can we get our water tested quickly, I'm about to deploy to Iraq." We covered the possibilities for laboratories and then I mentioned that if the test came back positive for coliform bacteria the well should be shocked. A common way these bacteria get introduced into a well is when pump repair work is done. For that reason the well should always be shock chlorinated after pump work. A short silence occurred and then, "We just had our pump replaced."
In that case the thing to do is shock the well first and test later to see if the water is coliform free. So we discussed the procedure for shocking a well. First determine the amount of water in the well. For a well 200 feet deep and 50 feet to water there are 150 feet of water in the well. Use 1.5 quarts of household bleach for each 100 feet of water. The bleach required is 2.25 quarts. Better to use a little extra than too little so use 2.5 quarts. Put the bleach in a clean 5 gallon bucket and finish filling with water (straight bleach tends to quickly oxidize the iron in the well casing). Pour this mixture into the well. Bring a garden hose to the well and run water back into the well. Do this until the bleach is mixed throughout the water in the well. Your nose will tell you when this occurs. Put the hose away and replace the well cap. Inside the house by-pass the water softener if you have one, then draw water from each cold water tap until you smell chlorine. Next draw water from each hot water tap. The first one will take a lot of water because the water heater is full of un-chlorinated water and several gallons of chlorinated water have to be added for the mixture to have chlorine you can smell. You could wash dishes using hot water to avoid wasting the hot water. Now that chlorine water is all through the plumbing system, avoid using water for 6 hours or more. It is good to do this in the evening so the chorine can disinfect all night long.
In the morning you should reconnect the water softener. It too needs to be disinfected and will be through the normal use of the water over the next couple days. Water can be used normally with two exceptions. Since the chlorine level is about 100 ppm it should only be used for laundry intended to be bleached. The high concentration is equivalent to the bleach added to a load of laundry. Because the chlorine level is so high nobody is going to want to shower with it either. By the end of the day the chlorine level will be much reduced but will continue to be noticeable for about a week.
You have just read how one soldier took care of his family just before leaving for Iraq at Christmas time. The final instruction concerning the water is to have a coliform test done in two weeks or so (when there is no more odor of chlorine) to determine if the water is potable. Farewell soldier.

Though the year began with tremendous cynicism about the economy, about law and order and the political class ability to change thingseven its desire to do soit seems to have ended like a dream. Now that the Lokpal Bill has been passed, a Bill to Anna Hazares satisfaction, the votaries of it tell us that corruption will likely be a thing of the past. Even the prime minister will be under the purview of the Lokpal, the Lokpal will have its own prosecution wing, the CBI has got more autonomy and the leader of the Opposition will be consulted in the appointment of the CBI chief.
If the passage of the Lokpal Bill isnt enough for those who believe the existing system is incapable of delivering justice, the icing on the cake is what the Aam Aadmi Party is doingfor the anti-political class, AAP was the embodiment of the none-of-the-above vote. While the AAP took crowd-sourcing to another level, what takes the cake is its decision-making on whether or not to form a government with support from the Congress party. Instead of taking a decision on its own like other political parties do, AAP has asked people to vote on SMS and, going by news reports, has already got 4 lakh SMSsthats around a sixth of the numbers that voted for it earlier this month. Its not clear as yet as to how the aam aadmi are reacting to this reality government or wondering what kind of government they are going to get if every decision is based on their SMSs, but the capitals telecom firms are certainly loving it.

Robert Towne
3. Chinatown
Written by Robert Towne
Some facts about the writing of the film:
• Robert Towne was born and reared in the Los Angeles area. He studied philosophy at Pomona College.
• Robert Towne based his famous exchange (Evelyn: "What did you do in Chinatown?" Jake: "As little as possible.") on a joke told to him by an LAPD officer friend. –IMDB
• Jake Gittes was named after Jack Nicholson's friend, producer Harry Gittes. –IMDB
• Robert Towne was offered $175,000 by Paramount to write The Great Gatsby in 1973. Instead he pushed to write a pet project of his, Chinatown, for the bargain price of $25,000. –bbc.uk
• "The ending that I had originally conceived never ended in Chinatown. I had always felt it was really pushing the metaphor to end up in the physical location. There was one horrible day when everybody got crazy just about two weeks before shooting and somebody said, 'My God, there's no scene in Chinatown, and it's called Chinatown!'" –AFI interview with Robert Towne
• "Originally, I had Evelyn [Mulwray] kill her father, and I had the detective try and stop her. In the first and second drafts he got the daughter out of the country. It also ended in a funny way: you knew that Evelyn was going to have to stand trial and you knew that she wasn't going to be able to tell why she did it. But it was bittersweet in the sense that one person, at least, wasn't tainted–the child." –AFI interview with Robert Towne• "With Chinatown, I originally thought I'd do a detective movie. That was all, initially. But then, I didn't want to do just any detective movie. Once you say you want to do a detective movie, you start thinking about what crime is to you, what it really means, what you think is really a horrible crime and what angers you. So I thought, I don't want to do a crime movie about the kind of things that don't anger me. I wanted to do something that really infuriated me. The destruction of the land and that community was something that I thought was really hideous. It was doubly significant because it was the way Los Angeles was formed, really." –AFI interview with Robert Towne
• "In the case of Chinatown, I wrote at least 20 different step outlines–long, long step outlines, that got me about 70 percent of the way through it. Finally, after the 20th I said, 'Well, this is far enough. I know where it's going to end. Now, I'll just devote myself to the problem of writing it.'" –AFI interview with Robert Towne
• "Chinatown is a pretty good metaphor for the futility of the good intentions. [Police officers in the film] are told to do as little as possible in Chinatown in the way of law enforcement, because you never know whether you're helping to avert a crime or helping to commit one." –AFI interview with Robert Towne
• "We [Towne and Polanski] took the script and broke it down into one-sentence summations of each scene. Then we took a scissors and cut those little scenes… and pasted them on the door of the study at his house where we were working. And the game was to shift those things around until we got them in an order that worked." – Los Angeles Times, July 8, 1999
• "It seems like it took me forever to write–at least 10 months. It was difficult; all screenplays that are highly structured are difficult–you are not relying on the momentum of some picaresque tale to take you wherever you want to go. Always the hardest part of any story is to figure out the point of entry where your story begins." –The Hollywood Reporter, July 2002
• For the most part, the final screenplay was shot almost exactly as it was written. "Once Roman and I agreed on the script, he held everyone's feet to the fire," Towne says. "Whatever disagreements we had, they ended when the script was written. Nobody said, 'Well, let's try it another way.' That was the way." – Los Angeles Times, July 8, 1999

You're invited to Christmas tree lighting party
Wednesday will mark the 53rd anniversary of the first lighting of the Times Tower - the area's "tallest Christmas tree" - as a symbol to mark the beginning of the Christmas season and to help act as a guide for Santa and his sleigh for that most important visit on the evening of Dec. 24.
For the fourth year in a row, we will honor this great tradition with one of Scranton's newest parties beginning at 4 p.m.
The tower is actually the WEJL-ESPN radio transmitter, and it is still actively transmitting at 630 on the AM dial. In the past, the tower was lit without much public fanfare. But in 2010, we decided to honor the 50th anniversary of the first lighting with a party - a big party. We were initially hoping to attract 400 to 500 people to join our nearly 300 employees on a chilly night for some live music, the tower lighting and spectacular fireworks worthy of any July 4 celebration. Over 2,000 merry-makers showed up, and the crowd has grown ever since.
As a very special treat this year, we are extremely proud and excited that the celebration has become the subject of a beautiful painting by Austin Burke. Posters of the painting will be for sale at the event and at the Times Building throughout the Christmas season.
Thanks to Mr. Burke's generosity, 100 percent of the poster proceeds will be donated to the Judi H Rock On benefit. Judi H Rock On is an annual fundraiser to benefit the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute. It was created by family and friends of Judi Perry Hartridge, a beloved mother, nurse and wife, who succumbed to cancer in 2007, to honor her generous and loving nature.
The painting will also grace the box lid for Gertrude Hawk's holiday assorted chocolates.
Since the original 2010 bash, we've tweaked the event's offerings only slightly - for example, instead of showing Christmas classics projected onto a wall in the parking lot behind the Times Building, we now show those films in the warmth and comfort of our fifth-floor auditorium. Some new vendors and food trucks will also join the list of those selling food, hot chocolate and other delicious treats.
Paul LaBelle and the Exact Change with the Electric City Horns - the perennial "Best Wedding Band" winners in the annual Electric City "Best Of" Readers' Poll - will perform again this year beginning at 5:30 p.m. Come prepared to dance and shake away any chills - the great music will continue through the fireworks display.
The lighting of the tower will take place precisely at 6:15 p.m. following a live countdown on radio station Rock 107. Members of the third, fourth and fifth generations of the Lynett and Haggerty families will pull the candy-cane-striped switch and the tower will burst into color followed immediately by a backdrop of fireworks that in the past has lasted more than 15 minutes.
Times-Shamrock Communications regional marketing director Tim Holmes directs a small army of helpers to make the tower lighting an event to remember for the entire community. On behalf of the Lynett and Haggerty families and the Times-Shamrock family, I'd like to thank each and every one of them for putting on such a great party and giving the holiday season an exciting jolt. Without the significant contributions of these fine folks, this event could not happen.
A special thank you also goes to Paul LaBelle and all the members of the Exact Change and the Electric City Horns who so generously donate their time - and truly great music - year after year; and to Austin Burke for sharing his great rendering of the celebration and allowing the poster proceeds to support the Judi H Rock On benefit.
I'd also like to thank the City of Scranton for its cooperation and use of the city's Showmobile, the Scranton police for supporting the event and controlling traffic in the area, and the Electric City Garage for allowing the fireworks display to be launched from its rooftop deck.
Last, but not least, thank you to all who come to enjoy the event and hopefully stay to do a little shopping, dining or drinking in our great downtown.
A nice summary is printed on the sides of those Gertrude Hawk assorted chocolates boxes: "Our holiday season starts with the lighting of the Scranton Times/WEJL 'Christmas Tree' tower. Music, fireworks and frivolity attract throngs to this much-anticipated community celebration."
We hope you can join us on Wednesday. If you can't, we hope you can at least enjoy the show from almost any vantage point in the Valley. Thank you for reading - and Happy Thanksgiving.

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Dominic Tarn Good old fashioned elbow grease. Universal Accessibility: A New Conversation About Web Accessibility tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.2667341 2013-02-12T04:36:05-05:00 2013-04-13T05:12:01-04:00 Dominic Tarn http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dominic-tarn/ Time we fixed the web for everyone with dyslexia. Hundreds of millions of people can't access all the benefits of the internet. Dyslexia, visual impairments and literacy issues impact around 15-20% of people. The result is that the internet is a challenging environment to navigate. Making the internet fully accessible - the most universal, advanced, democratic communication tool ever created - is an important issue. Barriers to entry shouldn't exist. The accessibility technology sector should be focusing on creating, and promoting, solutions for this market. That isn't always the case. The problem is that many accessibility companies seem intent on lobbying governments to lower those barriers, instead of developing better solutions to overcome them. It's time we changed this. It's time the accessibility sector takes a leaf from entrepreneurs, the arts, and successful advocates. Promoting the dyslexic advantage, like Virgin Group Founder, Richard Branson, and delivering effective solutions is infinitely more beneficial than reframing the issues. Most of the sector talks about what isn't being done, why more should be done, and what could be done. This approach has yielded few results. Some corporations have been sued over their websites failing to be accessible, which are cited as examples of litigation having an impact. The real result has been a handful of out of court settlements. The web is still a challenging environment for hundreds of millions of people. Legal action is not the solution. We need a new way forward. A Kauffman Foundation study found that as many as 35% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic. Like Sally Gardner, the author of the Costa Children's Book Prize 2012 winner, 'Maggot Moon', most entrepreneurs treat dyslexia is a gift, not a disability. The film director, James Redford, produced 'The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia', in order to raise awareness about the truths of dyslexia. "We judge people in our society on how quick they read and write, not necessarily by how good their original ideas are - that comes later in life," Redford said in an interview. The Congressional Dyslexia Caucus, in Washington DC, was formed by Peter Stark (Republican - retired) and Bill Cassidy (Democrat) to give political weight to dyslexia advocates and developers of assistive technology. The caucus brings together representatives from both sides of the house. Stark and Cassidy want to tackle the same negative myths which prevails around dyslexia, especially where education is concerned. In Europe, the EU Commission has issued a draft directive to ensure all 761,000 public sector websites "are made accessible" by 2015. This would benefit 100 million EU citizens. The move has been welcomed by the accessibility sector, which the Commission feels has so far only reached 10% of its potential. We live in an age of innovation, with technological advances progressing at a rate which is unprecedented in human history. Solutions already exist which would fix the internet for those with dyslexia. There are innovative, award winning, web products, like Recite, which read websites and online documents out loud, and include numerous features which fix the internet for anyone who currently struggles online. Mainstream adoption is the next step. Websites everywhere could easily be made accessible, without developers and technical overhauls. Modern accessibility software can be deployed from the cloud, providing an instant fix on any device. We are so close to being able to fix an internet which is still broken for hundreds of millions of people. Lets come together to fix this, once and for all.]]> How LinkedIn Can Support SEO and Content Marketing tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.2198704 2012-11-27T12:31:00-05:00 2013-01-27T05:12:01-05:00 Dominic Tarn http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dominic-tarn/ new profile redesign. This redesign is the outcome of pop inspired, named after Katy Perry. The most noticeable aspect of this is the visuals. Before now, the Reid Hoffman led social network with 187 million global professional users, had been visually uninspiring. But that was only part of the problem. When it comes to social networks, user engagement speaks volumes. LinkedIn was quiet. The website was still a static version of an online CV. Now is time to take a new look at LinkedIn. LinkedIn could be an integral part of your SEO and content marketing strategy. Here are five things you could be doing: 2. Write with SEO in mind. What you write on LinkedIn supports SEO. You have numerous chances to ensure that your skills & experience, headlines, profile content, company pages, and updates, are written to make the most of the SEO amplification opportunity by having an active presence on LinkedIn. 2. LinkedIn gives Google more to find. The more there is to find about you online, the more data search engines can collect, the higher you rank when someone types your name into Google. A well written, active, LinkedIn profile can give your Google rankings some uplift. 3. Get noticed. Earlier in 2012 Twitter cut the pipeline between itself and the network Hoffman built. You can no longer can you do a two-for-one update. Which means what you post has to engage readers. If you have a Wordpress blog you can plugin directly between the two, and both have been promoting this feature. Remember that everyone is a potential referral, endorsement, client, or new employer. Say something worth saying, that will get you noticed. On here, content is king. Don't waste the chance to engage with 187 million fellow professionals. 4. Knowledge is Power. LinkedIn is a great place to go fishing for new business. But don't go in blind. Use the opportunity to see who is connected to your prospects, who can endorse and recommend you. The more engaging you are, with interesting content, the more likely you are to be considered a thought leader, and therefore get noticed by peers in your industry. 5. Don't underestimate engagement. Being active has huge value. LinkedIn CEO, Jeff Weiner, quoted in Forbes: "Our professional audience by composition is one of the most affluent, most influential and best educated on the consumer web." The average user is aged 41, with 15 years commercial experience, and an average household income of £64,000. In the UK there are over 10 million users (over 25% of the European market), and 59% of them are managers, senior executives, and CEO's. Content is king on social networks, and no where else will you find an audience which could make such an immediate positive impact to the bottom line of your business.]]> Making the Digital World Accessible to Everyone tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.2157270 2012-11-19T04:28:33-05:00 2013-01-18T05:12:01-05:00 Dominic Tarn http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dominic-tarn/ But truly accessible, supported by simple and effective design concepts, is still on the fringes of thinking when it comes to the digital world. As Simon Norris at Nomensa, an accessibility consultancy, stated in a blog post, 'The digital world allows us to raise the game in terms of inclusion because it provides a quicker and more cost-effective method for delivering a better product or service than can be achieved in the physical world.' Recite, an accessibility software company, and Nomensa, a digital design agency, are fighting the same corner when it comes to ensuring accessibility and web design work together. Recite converts text into speech, making any website open to those with dyslexia, visual impairment or learning difficulties. Other bolt-on services can interfere with the user experience for everyone. Which is clearly not ideal, and is therefore something which puts off most web managers. In comparison to the UK, Australia is well out in front when it comes to this matter. Greater levels of economic prosperity has meant that more organisations (government and corporations) have been able to maintain a near pre-recession level of IT investment. One area they have continued to put money into is accessibility. Recite, which is based in Newcastle, has already won a contract with a local council in the State of Victoria. UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) supports the ambitions of tech startups, making it possible to undertake trade missions, which in turn creates jobs and investment for some of our most innovative companies. Despite the internet being a universal means of communication, and visual impairment and dyslexia affecting hundreds of millions worldwide, this subject only receives sporadic attention in the media. In the UK alone there are six million affected by dyslexia. A few high profile websites got sued by individuals, or charities, like the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB). BMI Baby in the UK, target.com and Netflix in the US, and in 2000, the Olympic National Committee in Australia all got sued over the websites being inaccessible. Facebook took action for its now 1 billion strong user-base back in 2009, with the assistance and guidance of the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB). In America, the film director, James Redford, and some members of Congress, are attempting to bring more attention to this issue with the launch of the award winning movie, 'The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia.' At the end of the day that is what is needed to ensure the internet is accessible to everyone: decisive action taken by a combination of advocates, companies and governments. In The Guardian, David Mortimer, Head of Digital Inclusion for Age UK, brings us back to the simple point that "So much of life can be enhanced by being online. Having access to a full broad range of society means accessing that online."]]>

American Idol: Rascal Flatts Records A Chris Sligh Song
January 18, 2009 02:30 PM by Paulene Hinds
American Idol season 6 finalist, Chris Sligh, has something to smile about these days. His debut CD Running Back To You has become one of the best-selling albums on iTunes and the project hasknocked the socks offcritics from USA Today to CCMmagazine.com. The CD also had the highest debut on Christian SoundScan in it's first week as well. Now Chris has even more great news to celebrate! Rascal Flatts has picked up one of his songs Here Comes Goodbye, co-written by Chris Lagerberg and will be putting it on their newest album Unstoppable which will be out in April.
Chris Sligh has made it no secret that he wants to establish himself as a songwiter as well as a singer, he wrote or co-wrote every song on his debut CD, Running Back To You, which was released in 2008. Here Comes Goodbye is Chris Sligh's first song to be cut by another artist, as well as the first song hegave to his publisher, Brentwood-Benson
Music Publishing.
Chris Sigh can hardly believe that this is all happening to him and commented, "Clint and I wrote this song on a Monday, recorded the demo on a Tuesday and that Wednesday Flatts label put it on hold," he said. "To have Rascal Flatts be the very first artist to cut a song I've written is pretty unbelievable." He added, "Songwriting has always been something I love, but this is just beyond any expectations I could have ever had. Clint and I felt it was a special song, but the band's recording gives us chills and we've heard the song for almost a year. I can't wait to see what happens with it."
Chris Sigh is probably pretty happy that he decided to enter American Idol season 6. Even though he entered the contest on an impulse, his performance ended up moving him into final rounds. Chris Sigh was known as the guy who would take chances and along withhis unbelievably powerful voice and quirky sense of humor, hedelighted the audience and the judges. Chris Sigh was also known as the guy who consistenly let Simon Cowell have it!
This past season of American Idol, Chris became an official American Idol commentator for Entertainment Weekly online. He would write hilarious and informative commentaries based on his experiences on the hit show.
Not bad for a guy that Simon Cowell said sounded like a student singer!

For those of you who don't know RedZag, you should get acquainted with this local bunch. I've had the fortunate pleasure of knowing the core duo, of Jimmy Redmon and Johnny Siegel, for quite some time and coming off a show a couple weeks ago at Decca they're quite finely tuned. Their debut album was reveled by WFPK's Marion Dries, in our December issue of Louisville Magazine, and tomorrow night should be truly magical with guest D'Arkestra.
One particular piece of cool is the venue in which everything will go down. I have personally never been to the 'Workhouse Ballroom', affectionately known as 'The Cave', but I'm quite stoked to check it out. It may be the best kept secret in town, doesn't hold all that many folks, but is nestled on the grassy knoll just before you get to Headliner's on the right as you go out Lexington Road from downtown. If you have to drive past it more than once you're better off not even being privileged to enter. Doors open at 8 and music lands promptly at 9. Check it out folks, you don't get a lot of chances.
Tickets - Pay at the door tight wads, no time for advance tickets anymore

Divergence between top-down and bottom-up views on the investment cycle is increasing. While the top-down view expects a cyclical revival led by macro recovery, potential reforms and interest rate easing, our bottom-up analysis suggests continued weakness in the investment cycle in FY14. Hence, we downgrade L&T to Equal Weight (Price Target R1,750) and downgrade Cummins to EW (PT R563). We recommend switching into interest rate sensitive stocks JPA and Adani Ports (both rated OWOverweight).
Cycle view: While our overall view on cycle recovery is negative, in terms of relative end-market positioning, we are negative on the power (boiler/turbine) cycle, while we expect T&D (transmission and distribution) to weaken in FY14 and the industrial capex (capital expenditure) revival to remain elusive. Cement, steel, and downstream oil & gas should all be weak.
We are positive on the infrastructure order pipeline but the land acquisition/ approval process is constraining ordering and there is limited progress on easing bottlenecks. We expect road/dedicated freight corridor and metro orders to be strong. Within industrials, we expect fertiliser and upstream oil & gas capex also to be strong.
Key OW/UW picks: We prefer infra asset owners over capital equipment names. Our OW ideas in the infra sector are JPA and Adani Ports. Our key UW (Underweight) is BHEL. While we prefer L&T relative to BHEL, we downgrade it to EW to reflect the weak FY14 outlook. We also downgrade Cummins to EW due to steep valuations.
How are end-markets faring in FY13? In FY13 year to date, power boiler/turbine ordering has been weak while T&D ordering was strong. Infrastructure witnessed a mixed ordering trend across its various end-markets with roads being weak (only 1,000km ordered YTD in FY13), and airports and ports not seeing much ordering. However, metro and building orders have been strong. Industrial capex was weak with limited ordering in most end-markets so far. Sector valuations at the start of FY13 at 11.5x forward P/E (price-to-earnings ratio) were favourable but valuations have expanded by 40% to 16.5x forward P/E now.
Top down view: We are positive on macro recovery and start of interest rate easing. Barclays India economist expects GDP growth to increase to about 6.6% in FY13-14 from 5.6% in FY12-13. This is on the back of expectations of more accommodative monetary policy and government policy initiatives. An absence of headwinds from weather aberrations (such as in 2012) should help agriculture and consumption demand, while industrial growth

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning doctors about another counterfeit version of the cancer drug Avastin distributed in the U.S., the third case involving the best-selling Roche drug in the past year.
The FDA said in an online post that at least one batch of the drug distributed by a New York firm does not contain the active ingredient in real Avastin, which is used to treat cancers of the colon, lung, kidney and brain. The drug was distributed by Medical Device King, which also does business as Pharmalogical. The vials are packaged as Altuzan, the Turkish version of Avastin that is not approved for use in the U.S.
The agency warned doctors last April about a similar case of fake Turkish Avastin distributed by a British distributor.

I know SSH is secure as long as you're not suffering a MITM attack, but I want to know if there's a way to make SSH 100% secure even under such circumstances, discover you're being sniffed and disconnecting before any sensitive information is disclosed, or at least making it not impossible, but "more tough" for the attacker to actually read/write actual data (maybe there's a way of garbling the data so it doesn't make sense or something?).
I think you got what I want.
For example, if you refuse to connect in case the fingerprint isn't the one you expected, do MITM still work?
I'll try to update this question if ideas pop in my mind.
