With a custom WordPress site, your small business can go from "Meh," to "Money!" as it attracts your ideal audience, blows up conversion rates, and skyrockets traffic. We take your simple seed or idea and breathe functionality, practicality and optimization through it so you can run forward with a truly inspired new site. Including full site installation, setup, and support, the investment is well worth it.
Fill out the contact form below so we can schedule an introductory call and dig into what you're looking for. We'll ask you a few introductory questions to assess your needs while we look at our schedules to see if we're a fit! If for some reason we aren't, we're more than happy to refer you to a few other developers we love. (If you're a graphic designer looking to possibly collaborate, visit this page for more details.)
Since we're primarily a web development studio, we need to find you the perfect web designer for your project either through our list of consistent collaborators or through a recommendation of your own! Once we've found your best match, we'll send you a customized proposal with your full development scope, contract, invoice, overview of the payment plan and a link to clear the initial deposit.
When the final design files are polished and prepped, we'll set an official development start date and project timeline. We'll begin developing your custom theme via a demo site on our private server to make sure your current site goes uninterrupted. Whew! Your second payment will also be due at this time.
Once your demo site is ready, it will be sent to your designer for proof corrections and design detail finessing before we pass it over to you for final approval. This is your chance to click around the site as if it were live to test the functionality on different browsers, provide feedback, ask questions, and prep the site for installation.
After the demo site has been finalized, the final payment is due before we schedule an installation time and date that works well for both of us. During that time, we'll put up a simple customized landing page on your site so all your fans can still find you! When the install is complete, we'll email you a personalized video walkthrough of your shiny new site with directions on how to use it and make changes.
We want you to get the most out of your site, which is why our Custom Themes are available for full maintenance and support services. We recommend all clients sign up for our Monthly Maintenance Plan, which is our way to guarantee that your site is in shape: backed up, up-to-date, malware-free. Or if you feel comfortable handling these tasks yourself, we also offer support and revisions on an as-needed basis.
"Working with Lindsay was such a dream and a relief! She is a gem and her work speaks for itself. She's extremely attentive and delivers a quality product. She continues to provide support and responds very quickly to any questions that come up as we implement new material. She delivers excellence and all the while makes it seamless and painless! She is the real deal..definitely worth the investment!"
"I couldn't be more confident in my decision to have Lindsay help me build my website. Everything went so smoothly, and she's helped me with any questions I've had no matter how big or small. She's even managed to help me with improving the site in ways I didn't know were possible. I am a very happy client."
"Lindsay was such a pleasure to work with! She was always quick to respond to my questions and made time to explain options to me. She was also very accommodating, working with me to complete my website development under a time crunch. I'm so happy with how my site turned out and I continue to use Made to Thrive's monthly maintenance plan to manage it."
"Lindsay is really something special that goes beyond being knowledgeable and talented in the coding world. Somehow, from across the country and without ever meeting in person, she made me feel truly understood and supported throughout the entire development process. Lindsay went above and beyond to make my dream website come true."
"Lindsay was such a dream to work with! I've had some pretty bad experiences with web developers being difficult and unresponsive, but Lindsay stuck to her deadlines, was always responsive and helpful with any questions or minor changes. She made a sometimes overwhelming process completely seamless. I couldn't recommend her enough!"
"Working with Lindsay and Made to Thrive was such a positive experience. Lindsay really took the time to understand my business and the result is a website that's beautiful, functional and far beyond what I could have conceived by myself. I'm not the least bit tech-savvy, but Lindsay answered every question and made me feel comfortable taking the reins."
With our introductory call, we'll be able to establish what kind of goals you have, the functionality you need and the timeline you're requiring, as well as gauge a personality fit and brand alignment with Made to Thrive. If for some reason we aren't the right fit, we're more than happy to refer you to a few other developers we love.
Every detail of your site, from the pages to the cost to the scope, will be thoroughly discussed in our initial phone consultation and laid out very clearly in our development proposal. We look for complete agreement and understanding on both ends so they are no surprises, hiccups or misunderstandings along the way.
Every project is quoted specifically for you and your site needs with most projects falling in the $3,000-$5,000 range (This is only for the development of the theme. Designer fees are separate.)
4-6 weeks is our typical jumping off point, but there are always exceptions to the rule with factors like:
— A very large or complex website.
— Lack of communication and/or feedback.
— Change in project scope (such as adding more pages or making major design changes after coding is complete).
— Failure to pay an invoice on time.
Our themes are built to be completely user-friendly and intuitive without you needing any coding experience whatsoever. You'll be given a detailed, personalized training video walking you through your new site and showing you exactly how to make content changes.
Yes! 100%! Our sites are built with coded, mobile stylesheets and tested for easy mobile use.
WordPress requires a third-party host to store your files, kind of like leasing space on the internet. Choosing the right host is crucial to the speed, security, and overall success of your website.
How much does a WordPress host cost?
Small sites are usually $10-$20/month. Large sites can be $20+.
Can you recommend a good WordPress host?
Yes! We highly recommend SiteGround, BigScoots, and WPEngine. All three of these hosts offer WordPress specific hosting, One-Click-WordPress installations, stellar customer support, and budget-friendly pricing. The majority of our clients only need the basic shared hosting plan with these providers, but if you're confused on which plan/features to choose, let us know and we can advise!
Web designers create the aesthetic of your website by communicating your vision with inspired creativity. From the layout to the color palette to the graphics, a web designer whips up the dream you've had living in your head and paints it into reality.
Web developers (that's us!) create the functionality of your website by writing in code and formatting each design element. We are masters of functionality, technical wizards and total problem solvers. We are fluent in multiple coding languages so that you don't have to be.
It's the golden collaboration between the two that creates your dream website. A web designer and web developer each bring their own toolkit, expertise, talent and experience. The front-end beauty needs the back-end bricks.
We split the payment process into three equal parts:
1) Once we've agreed on the project and decided to work together.
2) Once the design files have been finalized and development is ready to begin.
3) Once the site is ready for installation.
We input only enough content to thoroughly test the site. This might look like 2-3 sample posts on your blog and 2-3 portfolio items just to see if everything's working ok.
We are more than happy to add full content entry into the scope of our work for an additional fee. But there's no need to feel daunted or intimidated! Our sites are so easy to update and we provide you with a personalized training video to make management incredibly easy.
Since the development follows the exact, approved design files, any site revisions are very minor and typically take no longer than a week. The tweaks are usually simple fixes like, for example, a pop-up not working in Firefox. If design changes create a greater scope of work, they will need to be quoted and coded accordingly.
While we don't claim to be SEO experts, we do our best to set your site up for success by installing a premium SEO plugin and providing video training on how to use it on your site. If you want to dig in deeper, we have SEO specialists we trust and have on hand if you'd like a referral!
Made to Thrive offers full support and maintenance for any theme we create! The best way to ensure your splashy new site is backed up, consistently refreshed, and malware-free is to enroll in our Monthly Maintenance Plan. For Custom Theme clients, we also offer site maintenance and revision services on an as-needed basis.
If you're interested in getting the Custom Theme process started, please fill out the contact form below so we can meet you and dig into what you're looking for. We'll ask you a few introductory questions to assess your needs while we look at our schedules to see if we're a fit!

Halnaker Hill
Causewayed Enclosure
View all content for Halnaker Hill
Like nearby Court Hill there's not a great deal to see here in terms of the Causewayed Enclosure which once dominated this hill top, but there has been a great deal of activity since then and you certainly get your money's worth. The most noticeable thing is the windmill (visible from the A27 between Arundel and Chichester) which has been here since 1740, though the original mill was built in 1540 for the nearby Goodwood Estate. The 1740 mill was destroyed by fire in 1913 and then vandals came back in the summer of 2015 to try and torch it again which is why it currently has no sails and you can no longer go inside. The enclosure is largely defined by a bank surrounding about 2 hectares, with the main entrance in the Southern part, where the modern gate stands today. The outer ditch has largely disappeared through centuries of ploughing. There are also three WWII structures, one inside, one in the bank and another just outside to the west of the entrance. These were either searchlight emplacements or Radio Directional Finding towers (nobody seems to agree which!) that would have served Goodwood and Tangmere airfields. It's clearly always been a strategic and prominent point as Bronze Age and Roman artefacts have been found here as well and the Roman Stane Street runs about 200m to the South past the bottom of the hill. The views from here are also quite stunning with the rolling South Downs to the North and Chichester and the Channel to the South.

Well the school year is ending and graduations are in the air. In my last On the Record Column I asked for people to write in about homeschooling, cyber schooling, and private and public schools.
People were expressing interest in finding out more about the pros and cons of the varied choices.
This very comprehensive letter was submitted by Carol Donahue from Morgantown.
Dear Carol,I am writing in response to your most recent On the Record column regarding schooling. We are a home-schooling family who would like to share our views with you and your readers.
My husband and I made the choice to home-school when our youngest was still in diapers. We both liked the idea, but had to decide if it was the right decision for us. I began by reading the book Educating the WholeHearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson. It encouraged me to pursue home-schooling as a reasonable option for our family. We then attended a home-school convention in Pottstown called Search of PA (www.searchofpa.org). There were both speakers and vendors at the convention. I found it to be a great encouragement in taking on the difficult, although rewarding, task of home-schooling.
There are so many different ways to home-school. Just a few are cyber-school, home-school co-ops, and homes where small classes are offered. We personally select our curriculum from what various publishers offer in each subject.
After reading the book The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home by Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise, we focused on a classical approach to home-schooling. In a nut shell, this is an educational approach more closely akin to our country's earlier educational philosophy that includes the three stages of grammar, logic, and rhetoric.
We made this choice because we felt strongly that we are to be the primary instructors of our children. We enjoy seeing them learn and grow in their knowledge and understanding. We feel that we know them best and that the curriculum we choose for them will best suit their needs. We look forward to seeing them taking high school classes while also earning college credits. This way they will graduate from high school and be well on their way to earning their degree.
But if they don't choose college, then we can find apprenticeships where they can begin to master a trade in which they are interested. There are many opportunities for home-schoolers to be successful in their future endeavors.
You asked what are the home-schooling pros and cons. For us some of the pros are being able to prepare them to be responsible people and citizens. Part of this is teaching them how to function in our society (shopping, cooking, budgeting, voting, volunteering), allowing them to help others and to grow in their Christian faith.
In our area there are a large number of home-schoolers. Getting together and spending time with them, supporting and encouraging each other, is another pro.
The cons are home-schooling does require some financial sacrifices. In our situation, I quit my full time position in order to home-school. Because we choose our curriculum, there is the cost of books, materials, supplies, evaluations, and testing. Pennsylvania does have standards that home-schoolers must follow too.
There is also the commitment of time involved in homeschooling. Much the same as occurs in regular school classrooms, there is lesson planning, grading, and field trips. In addition, home-schoolers must organize their work for an evaluation and prepare a portfolio for the school district.
So for us, home-schooling is a rewarding adventure, which we take very seriously. We are excited to be on this journey of learning with our children. I would like to add, Twin Valley School District has been supportive and pleasant to work with. In closing, we are thankful that we live in a country where we have the freedom to make these choices in our children's education.

Bar code-generating software allows police to record and enter items while on the move.
Electronic logging and tracking technology is helping local police keep better tabs on evidence in Maplewood, Mo.
Using a handheld mobile device similar in size to a BlackBerry, officers record each item of note at a crime scene. The embedded software takes the data and generates a radio-frequency identification label or bar code to attach to each piece of evidence. The device stores details such as the time and date, temperature and geolocation of where each item was collected, which is later uploaded to a database at the station.
The system, called eTWIST — Evidence Tracking With Information Solution Technologies — was developed by Primary Marking Systems Inc., a product-tracking equipment provider. The concept of evidence tracking isn't new, but the technology has had quite an impact on how members of the Maplewood Police Department (MPD) are handling items from crime scenes.
Prior to using eTWIST, the department used a paper-based system and tracked evidence using a simplistic database that cataloged each item brought into the station. But now that evidence is filed using a more advanced electronic system, tasks such as purging and disposing of items are much easier.
"From [a] practical standpoint, I find the bar coding the most useful tool," said Detective Kerry Daniels in an email to Government Technology. "It allows me to double check my work to verify each item is actually received, processed and stored into the evidence room. When dealing with evidence, you cannot have too many precautions."
Currently the department has one eTWIST device, which is built into a Motorola mobile chassis. Daniels said initially the plan was to buy just one device when the system was installed a few years ago. But after seeing how the technology can help improve the speed and efficiency of evidence gathering, plans are in the works to purchase more and issue them to patrol officers.
Right now, Daniels manually records all evidence into a database. Officers not using the handheld device drop the evidence through a locker system, and Daniels verifies that the items have been received by comparing an evidence sheet with the specific item in the locker. He then scans each item into the eTWIST device and places the item back into an evidence storage area.
Previously, information had to be uploaded from the scanner to the database system. But the technology was recently upgraded so that instead of connecting the device to a computer, it now automatically uploads recorded evidence into the database server through a secure Internet connection.
The convenience and accuracy has helped decrease the chance of making an error.
"If someone needs a specific item for court or if the item is transferred to the crime lab for processing, I update the system to acknowledge the location," Daniels said. "The system also stores information regarding who the victim, suspect and witnesses of the crime [are]."
The department is planning to purchase two more of the eTWIST handheld scanning devices. Daniels said he'd prefer that each officer has his or her own scanner. But since the MPD is a small unit comprised of 31 officers who work 12-hour shifts, they can make due with sharing three of the devices.
As with many local law enforcement agencies, funding has been harder to come by in recent years and the MPD is working with Primary Marking to secure grants to purchase the additional scanners.
For those police departments starting from scratch, one eTWIST Station Kit (which includes mobile and enterprise software, the handheld Motorola scanner, a printer, preprinted bar-code labels, cables and a case) runs approximately $7,000. Based out of St. Louis, Primary Marking touted the Creve Coeur Police Department in Missouri and a law enforcement agency in Cold Spring, Ky., as other users of its technology.
The software isn't limited to only Motorola devices. According to Primary Marking, its eTWIST Mobile software can run on most Windows Mobile handheld devices, and the company is currently developing the software to run on the Android platform.
While the eTWIST device can make cataloging evidence easier, ensuring proper chain of custody is still very much about person-to-person trust. Although an officer technically should never hand off a piece of evidence to another officer, Daniels said if it's for some reason necessary, you can record transactions from one person to another on the scanner.
But the device lacks the ability to sign for that evidence exchange.
"The only problem [is] you would not have the physical signature to show the transfer," Daniels said. "Hopefully there is still a certain degree of trust in the law enforcement field where an electronic transfer (logging) of evidence from one officer to the next will suffice instead of a physical signature."

Twice every 130 or so years, Venus crosses the disk of the Sun, as seen from Earth. The nineteenth century transits of Venus helped astronomers determine the scale of the solar system. Transits still have scientific use. For one thing, the backside of Venus is black compared to the surface of the Sun, much blacker than sunspots, which would be blinding if they were anywhere but the surface of the Sun. This gives us a handle on the true brightness of the Sun.
Information on this year's transit, which takes place early Tuesday Morning, EDT, is available on the Sun-Earth Day 2004 web page. Some of the links include:
- Information on live webcasts, useful for the Western Hemisphere since the transit starts at 1 am EDT.
- A link to NASA TV, which will carry some or all of the transit, live.
- John Phillip Sousa's Transit of Venus March, including piano scores and the Library of Congress's site, including a recording. (It sounds pretty much like every Sousa march you've ever heard.)
If you've just got to look at the transit directly, it's recommended that you use a welding hood with a #14 or darker filter. Otherwise, use one of these websites, or contact your local observatory.

HONOLULU — A judge on Wednesday sentenced a Hawaii man to four years in prison for harassing a pregnant Hawaiian monk seal.
Hawaiian monk seals are among the world's most critically endangered marine mammals. There are about 1,400 in the wild.

4 years in prison for harassing pregnant Hawaiian monk seal Back to video
Shylo Kaena Akuna harassed the seal in April 2016 at Kauai's Salt Pond Beach Park, said Kauai Prosecuting Attorney Justin Kollar.
KHON-TV reported previously that bystanders recorded video showing a man wading into the water, swinging at the endangered animal and possibly throwing sand at it.
"Akuna was apparently highly intoxicated at the time," Kollar said in a statement. "Animal abuse is often a precursor to other types of violence and cannot be tolerated in our community."
The seal gave birth to a female pup about a week after the incident, Kollar said.
Akuna was sentenced to a year in jail last month for the unrelated theft and slaughter of a goat. He also faces charges on another unrelated case involving an alleged March burglary of a room at the Poipu Grand Hyatt hotel.
Akuna's defence attorney, Mark Zenger, did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

In February 2015 I was on a ski trip at Snowbird Resort… I was inquiring about hot springs in the area and a friend told me to check out Meadow Hot Pots in Fillmore. After reading about it on
utahoutdooractivities.com, I knew I would have to take my husband on yet another hot springs hunt!
It is 148 miles to Fillmore, via I-15 South, and well worth the 2 hour drive. We quickly changed into our suites and headed for the springs edge. I opted to jump in feet first, just be cautious of the edge… it is very slippery in spots.
The locally coined "hot-pot" is 24 feet deep, crystal clear, with a nice soaking temperature of 100 f/38 c.
Meadow is truly a magical spot, and a nice reprieve for our legs after a fun few days skiing at Snowbird!
The rope strung across the far end of the pot serves as a great place to perch and relax.
Please be respectful when visiting Meadow. Since the landowner is nice enough to leave it open for soakers, we do not want to loose those privileges due to trash and inappropriate behavior. Meadow is a relatively busy place to swim and soak. We happened to time it just right and got the place to ourselves for a time… but 2 families showed up near the end of our soak.
All in all Meadow did not disappoint! I will go there again and again when skiing Utah.

Best Testament AlbumsTestament are one of the first thrash metal bands to emerge from the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1980s. Originally formed as 'Legacy' in 1983 by founding members Eric Peterson (rhythm guitar), Derrick Ramirez (guitar) and Louie Clemente (drums), the line-up included vocalist Steve Souza and Greg Christian (bass).
To date they have 9 Studio albums.
Vote for best Testament albums!
Hard to choose between this one and The Legacy, but I like this one even more! But both are killer Thrashhh!
A superb more polished Album in comparison to their sophomore effort
Epic 80s thrash sound. From guitar to the production. Love every song, except the Aeriosmith cover 'Nobody's Fault' lol.
Best Thrash Metal album in general not only Testament
One of the best thrash metal debuts. Pure, raw energy is displayed on this album. Alex Scolnick (guitarist) was only 18 when this album was released. Very impressive guitar work for such a young age.
"The legacy" album,and their first, has the most impressive guitar riffs that testament has and ever will play.
It has also impressive melodic guitar lines and totally inspired music. It is simply their best.
Has such classics as over the wal, burnt offering, and first strike is deadly
Unbeatable sound. Should be up on the top of the whole list.
Many great albums need some time to warm up to. But not this one. The first riff of the first song immediately puts smile on my face, exactly my type of thrash. Definitely my top 5 favorite metal album of all times.
Wow the top 5 albums are all phenomenal. The voting is very competitive too, only 0-1% difference between albums.
Some amazing songs on this record! Especially love the title track and Sin of Omission m/
It deserves to be number 1! it's one of my favourite albums of all time!
Both Gathering and this are amazing, together with the remastered best tracks from first two classic albums, I.E. first Strike Is Deadly (wonder / still waiting (:) whether Metallica is capable to do the same thing, I.E. merge best RtL tracks together with MoP in its entirety).
Best song: A Day In The Death - great harmonies, thanks Alex si back since Formation. (by the way Hoglan sessions together with all the other equally gifted musicians belong easily among best albums anyway (ITP, Symbolic, this album).
I have been a fan of Testament since 1989 and Practice What You Preach was always my favorite. I think Dark Roots Of Earth might edge into first place now. Having said that, I think every album by Testament is great. This band can switch it up and still keep their core sound. I love that they stayed the coarse all these years.
This is one great album. The reason I'm voting this one above some other great albums of theirs is the production quality because musically their all just brilliant. Another thing in this era of not so metal music an album like this is relief.
My first testament album, and it's great. Favorite songs: true American hate, animal magnetism, rise up, and man kills mankind.
Just like low this album does not deserve to be this high up, though it is better than low. Like low it is a boring album, with some good songs like DNR and True Believer. Though this album is so overrated and not even that good. Like low, a alright album that gets praised way too often.
A pummeling thrash/death affair with hints of black metal and an incredible lineup, this one of a kind Testament album reigns as the best.
Just the line up itself is legendary
All there albums are amazing
Has a very 80's thrash sound. Reminds me strongly of PwyP. I'd put it:
1. The Legacy (I'm sorry, but it has the edge over:
2. The New Order
3. Practice What You Preach
4. Brotherhood of the Snake
5. Dark Roots of the Earth
Honestly, I don't care about the rest.
Old school but modern at the same time
This one's pretty good, actually.
This one is a ' masterpiece
Yeah, all of Testament albums are good, but to bring Bay Area Thrash into the 21st century with 'The Formation of Damnation' is one hell of a feat. To hear an album this well produced and played is a pleasure. Exodus re-recorded 'Bonded by Blood', Flotsam and Jetsam re-recorded 'No Place for Disgrace', but there's no need to with Testament. Actually, re-recording 'The Legacy' would probably sound incredible. These guys haven't lost an ounce of hunger. Now, if we could just get Mustaine and co. To re-record 'Killing is my Business...' And, no, James and Lars and co. Leave your back catalogue alone. We own it now.
I'm voting for this not beause is their best, but because no. 8 is ridiculous, it should be at least in the top 5
More than meets the ears. Great album!
This is my #1 favorite Testament album.
My third Favourite album from start to finish. I still don't understand why this album never gets the recognition it deserves.
Not the best, but should be in the top 5, the guitar and vocal work is just as good as on the legacy of the new order, maybe even better!
It is very underrated and every song on the album is just brilliant
This album should get more recognition. It is brilliant.
How the hell is this album so high on the list? How ironic that an album called low would start the low point in Testament's career. I mean this isn't a bad album, it's just boring and everyone saying it's amazing is completely wrong. Best testament album from the 90's my ass. I mean the parts that are suppose to sound like death metal on this is pathetic. I mean Slipknot sounds closer to a death metal band than testament does on this album. Not a horrible album just gets way too much praise when there are other Testament albums that deserve it.
How is this album so high on the list? How ironic that an album called low would start the low point of Testament's career. I mean it's not a bad album, it really just boring. I just don't get how everyone is saying that this is an amazing album and there isn't really a single good song off of it. Best Testament album from the 90's my ass. Testament "experimented" with death metal on this record? I mean Slipknot sounds closer to a death metal band than testament does on this album. Not a horrible album, but not a underrated hidden gem at all.
This is such an underrated album I can't even begin to explain the greatness of such a masterpiece this album is. Anyone who says differently is probably a hardcore thrash and only thrash fan and can't appreciate any other types of music. Best album is this one definitely.
This is a very underrated album and it had a big influence on Pantera
Isn't it the other way around? Pantera having an influence on this album?
Now this is the best Testament album of the 90's. Low and the Gathering get all the attention as underrated albums and the best Testament albums of the 90's, but this is really it. The solo's on this album rival the likes of those found on The Legacy and The New Order. By far their best one of the 90's. Not their best, but still deserves to be higher up.
Simply deserves to be much higher on the list.
Perhaps not the greatest of Testament albums, but it each song does have a good flow to it.
Highlights are "Electric Crown", "Return to Serenity", "Sermon" and "Troubled Dreams".
Can't believe this album is not higher on the list. Return to Serenity, Troubled Dreams, Electric Crown... Such an amazing piece of art.
It's crazy this is so low. It's such a great album and one of my favorite Testament records.
Underrated. Bit not repetitive at all!
This is probably my favorite since they rerecorded all the great songs from The Legacy and The New Order and gave them the polished production they need, plus they added rerecords of demo tracks with Steve Souza on vox.
This album is their best since the gathering

Flavor of the week: Frozen Peach Penguin Swirl
Pubsicle is a weekly meme that combines our two favorite things – ice cream and books. We hand the reigns over to some of our awesome publishers as they highlight what upcoming releases they're excited about.
In search of a future that may not exist and faced with the decision of who to share it with, Cassia journeys to the Outer Provinces in pursuit of Ky – taken by the Society to his certain death – only to find that he has escaped, leaving a series of clues in his wake.
Cassia's quest leads her to question much of what she holds dear, even as she finds glimmers of a different life across the border. But as Cassia nears resolve and certainty about her future with Ky, an invitation for rebellion, an unexpected betrayal, and a surprise visit from Xander – who may hold the key to the uprising and, still, to Cassia's heart – change the game once again. Nothing is as expected on the edge of Society, where crosses and double crosses make the path more twisted than ever.

Brotherband Chronicles: The Outcast by John Flanagan
They are outcasts. Hal, Stig, and the others – they are the boys the others want no part of. Skandians, as any reader of Ranger's Apprentice could tell you, are known for their size and strength.

And courage – which they will need every ounce of to do battle at sea against the other bands, the Wolves and the Sharks, in the ultimate race. The icy waters make for a treacherous playing field . . . especially when not everyone thinks of it as playing.
John Flanagan, author of the international phenomenon Ranger's Apprentice, creates a new cast of characters to populate his world of Skandians and Araluens, a world millions of young readers around the world have come to know and admire. Full of seafaring adventures and epic battles, Book 1 of The Brotherband Chronicles is sure to thrill readers of Ranger's Apprentice while enticing a whole new generation just now discovering the books.

Liz tries to uncover what happened that day on the playground—a day that landed one kid in the hospital and Butterball in detention.

Summer Style: Ceramic Watches Hit the Runway
by Mike Manjos on August 1st, 2009
Everyone has a favorite summer "something" – a beach chair, barbecue recipe, or maybe a ballpark. Not surprisingly, we in the Betteridge watch department have a favorite summer watch.
Bell & Ross, the trendsetting Swiss company that makes the amazingly comfortable and readable BR Instrument watches, has launched a ceramic, quartz ladies' watch. The Bell & Ross watches are far better made than the vast majority of fine ceramic watches and, frankly are a whole lot more fun!
At 39mm with an unusually slim case, it fits wonderfully on the wrist. It comes in two colors – a very sleek black, or a crisp white and both colors are available with either an elegant simple case or with an accented diamond bezel.

Launching Safepad in Bangladesh
Real Relief, Denmark and Youth Worldwide Foundation, Bangladesh collaboratively launch Safepad™ at the Project "Chauna Piyaju" in Chattagram, Bangladesh, while celebrating the Menstrual Hygiene Day 2019, to align with the "Action" theme for 2019.
Now, it is time to act to end stigma, educate all girls, ensure access to menstrual products and end period poverty. Together we will create a world in which no girl is left behind because of her period.
Menstruation and menstrual hygiene continues to be met with silence and neglect all around the world. This has a negative impact on the dignity and wellbeing of individual women and girls, and far-reaching social and economic implications at national levels. Although the topic of menstrual hygiene is achieving recognition and investment - action is still needed. The reusable sanitary pad, SafepadTM addresses this problem and offers a sterile and durable solution. An innovative product that prevents infections while also helping to prevent the social isolation of girls and women in third-world countries.
About Safepad™ Safepad™ is a reusable, washable hygiene pad designed with a permanently bonded antimicrobial technology that efficiently reduces the concentration of fungi and bacteria. Thereby reducing the risk of vaginal infections caused by Candida albicans – also called Candiasis. 75% of all women experience vaginal yeast or bacterial infections during their lifetime. These infections cause health issues and in worst cases will impact fertility.
Safepad™ is made of a soft fabric that provides protection and comfort. The permanent bonded antimicrobial fabric in combination with the highly absorbent material provide a comfortable and hygienic experience for women. The anti-microbial technology is based on a treatment that leaves a positively charged layer on the fabric. This layer will attract and kill the negatively charged microbes such as bacteria and fungi. Moreover, our products are showing more environment friendly features than other generic products. The benefits of providing women and girls with our sanitary pads are thus enormous.
Safepad™– winner of The Danish Design Award 2018
SafepadTM won the Danish Design Award 2018 in the category "Daily Life".
Danish Design Award (DDA) is the major annual Danish design event that celebrates the best design solutions and highlights how design can make a difference for our society. We are therefore immensely proud to receive the recognition presented with this award.

Two couples nearly come apart at the seams for different reasons, the premise for Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, opening at American Stage. This version is set in Key West in the 1940s, the end of World War II. The comedy has traditionally been billed as a "battle of the sexes," a framing the theater is navigating its way around.
"The show really needs to highlight the disparities between the genders, but the when and where is not the most important thing," director Benjamin T. Ismail said. They chose a post-war setting for a "more patriarchal" period in the culture, Ismail said, the plot set in motion with the return of Navy sailors. Lots of gossip and backbiting deception follows, unfolding through a cast of 16 that includes two American Stage artistic directors (Lisa Powers as Antonia and Stephanie Gularte, current producing artistic director in her first acting role at American Stage, as Beatrice). Other cast members include Brock D. Vickers, Matt Acquard, Margee Sapowsky, Jim Sorensen, Juliana Davis and Richard B. Watson.
"Stephanie and I have worked together for 10 years," Ismail said. "I've never directed her before. You're always nervous when you go into something like that, but it's really been so magical to work with her and really the whole cast. There are some real powerful performances that creep up." Opens Friday and runs through Dec. 10 at the Raymond James Theatre, 163 Third St. N. $39 and up. (727)823-7529. For show times, visit americanstage.org.
Travis Wall, one of the most visible choreographers working today, has enjoyed awards and gigs at the highest levels directing dancers, most famously the reality show teams in So You Think You Can Dance. Those bits are typically over in 90 seconds. Now he brings his own troupe to the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Performing Arts for a two-hour show. Travis Wall's Shaping Sound: After the Curtain "really feels like it is a dance play," Wall told the Times. "We are dancing for two hours. There's a lot of acting that goes on, and I truly feel that we all have become actors throughout this process of this show because we are telling a story without any text or any audio on top of it."
Among Wall's career accolades is choreographing an Emmy-winning music video for Carrie Underwood's Something in the Water. The striking conclusion, dancers lying down in water, came together at the end of a 10-hour shoot. "That was the last shot of the day," Wall said. "We'd shot in order of how wet we would get from top to bottom. The water was freezing cold. We were all like, 'Oh god!' And Carrie was pregnant at the time too, showing her baby bump."
In the water, Underwood broke from the convention of singers only lip-synching songs, Wall said. "She started to like softly, and in the smallest tone of voice, started singing over the track while we laid down. And all of a sudden the water just, like — all of our bodies released into the water, became warm, we weren't freezing anymore, because we had been shivering when they called 'action.' There was something that happened when she started singing. We all just relaxed, and it was a kind of really cool moment." 8 p.m. tonight. Carol Morsani Hall, 1010 N MacInnes Place, Tampa. $39.75. (813) 229-7827. strazcenter.org.
Lab Theatre Project opens its third season with a play about three women with intertwined strengths and infirmities. 5300 Bluebird Lane, by Jennifer Potts, stars Caroline Jett, Roz Potenza and Samantha Parisi. The show centers on Maggie, who is caring for her mother, who has dementia, and the mother of her late husband, who is recovering from a hip replacement. Lab Theatre Project focuses on new plays, and will focus this season on getting older and the challenges and values that brings. Owen Robertson, the theater's executive director, directs this show. Runs Thursday through Nov. 19 at Silver Meteor Gallery, 2213 E Sixth Ave., Ybor City. $15. (813) 586-4272. For show times, go to labtheaterproject.org.

Trinity River
National Wildlife Refuge
Liberty, TX 77575
E-mail: email@example.com
Phone Number: 936-336-9786
|Visit the Refuge's Web Site:
|Anders Pond is one of the bottomland hardwood areas found at Trinity River NWR.
Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge
Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge was established on January 4, 1994 with an initial purchase of 4,400 acres. Since that time, the refuge has acquired additional acreage which now totals 25,000 acres. The primary purpose of establishing this refuge is to protect a portion of the bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem along the Trinity River located in southeastern Texas. The refuge, which is a remnant of what was once a much larger natural area is a broad flat floodplain made up of numerous sloughs, oxbow lakes, artesian wells, and tributaries.

The invasion of the highly aggressive Chinese tallow tree throughout the refuge is a cause for concern. This exotic tree can alter the native habitat within a few years, so it must be controlled using herbicides. This is also the case with Giant Salvinia, an exotic water fern, that was found in Champion Lake during 2000. Although Salvinia is not found in this lake anymore due to floods washing it away, it is found on many other small ponds on and off the refuge that are completely covered by the fern. There is no easy way to control this aggressive exotic. The same can be said for another exotic species, the feral hog, which is causing major damage to native habitat on the refuge.
Tree planting is another management tool utilized at the refuge. When tracts are purchased, some are devoid of trees because of prior agricultural uses. Since 1995, over 70,000 oak, ash, and cypress bare-root seedlings have been planted throughout the refuge. Although our primary reason for planting is to restore a bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem, there are some secondary benefits. Since these areas are preserved in perpetuity, these plantings serve as a great way to sequester carbon, a major cause of greenhouse gases.
The refuge plays host to the Rafinesque's big-eared bat, a state-threatened species. These cavity roosting bats require hollow trees to survive cold in the winter and raise their pups in the early summer. Older tupelo and cypress trees found on the refuge provide at least 10 known roosting sites in the relatively young forest, however the approximately 100 bats spend most of their time in artificial roost structures shaped like towers provided by Bat Conservation International for the refuge. These towers are where the bats spend most of their time as the species waits for the forest to grow older and provide more hollow trees. Refuge staff takes advantage of the easy-to-access towers by regularly counting the bats, tagging, and radiotracking. The radiotracking efforts help study the maternity colony, allowing us to learn more about the little known habits of this rare and mysterious bat.

Ivan Farmakovsky: Next To The Shadow
The tunes on this album, all written by Farmakovsky, reflect hard bop influences with occasional hints of Latin rhythms. Such an apparently narrow description does a disservice to the variety which characterizes these compositions, however. The album opens with the bass of Ugonna Okegwo kick-starting "Hard Blues"which is exactly as its title suggests, a blues played in a recognizably hard bop style. The first solo goes not to Farmakovsky but to the tenor sax of Igor Butman: it's a warm and welcoming solo, reflecting the tone of the entire recording. "Pharmacology" begins with a delicate piano piece, ups the tempo as Butman and trumpeter Ryan Kisor enter in unison, then shifts tempo, as Gene Jackson's drums create a driving groove to underpin the solos. "Free Kick"its title perhaps inspired by Farmakovsky's love of Moscow football team Spartakbegins with a real kick thanks to Jackson's drum intro and features a particularly enjoyable solo from Butman, a fellow-countryman of Farmakovsky who was also invaluable in helping to organize the recording of this album.
"Rain" is a gentle, bossa-nova style tune on which Butman and Kisor sound rather hesitant at times, but this hesitancy disappears on "Penguin Dance" which features some impressive horn playing. As a quintet piece "Penguin Dance" works well, as does "Russian Standard," but both of these tunes would also work terrifically as big band arrangements with full horn sections.
Farmakovsky is based in Moscow, but decided to record this album in New York's Sear Sound Studioan indication of his love for New York jazz and his respect for the musicians and recording engineers who produce it. It was an inspired decision, rewarded with excellent musicianship and sound quality. Next To The Shadow is a welcome first album as leader from this engaging musician.

Hard Blues; Pharmacology; Penguin Dance; Next to the Shadow; Hieroglyph; The Day Before; Rain; Free Kick; Blue Flower; Russian Standard.

Dory T. Wellington and the Fire Orange Blue Jellyfish Kite
I stole the kite from Mr. Kensey on my birthday. I stole it while he slept in a chair in his backyard. Me and Dory T. Wellington, we stood on the horizontal fence beams and looked into Mr. Kensey's backyard at that fire orange blue jellyfish kite and we wanted it.
Dory said, "Let's steal the kite."
"I'll do it," I said. "It's my birthday."
Dory said, "You should do it. You're faster."
"I'll do it," I said, "because I want to do it."
And I did. I stole that kite. And then me and Dory, we ran through the open lots in back of my house with the fire orange blue jellyfish kite. The lots where houses weren't built yet. Just heaps of ant hills and spider holes, and patches of grass, and chiggers. The lots where me and Dory rode our bikes, and sipped Capri-Sun, and ate Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches, and shot BB guns at cans. And once, I shot a BB at Dory's face, but only because he dared me to because he didn't believe it would hurt. And it lodged in his cheek real good but it didn't bleed. And we laughed when I did it, and Dory never cried.
I was grounded for weeks after that. But it didn't matter, being grounded. Because I still had Dory T. Wellington. And now, the fire orange blue jellyfish kite. And that cool scar that's never gone away from the BB in my cheek.
CONGRATULATIONS, David! We'll be in touch via email to get your snail-mail address, and soon your prizes will be on the way.
In second place, with 16% of the vote is:
Andrea Ellickson
A monster lives in my bedroom and his name is Gary. My parents don't believe me. Tonight, if I sit in the hallway, cold and shivering, then maybe they will believe me. Maybe they will believe that Gary has two dog heads and a scaly tail. Maybe they'll believe that Gary reads me fairy tales like Beauty & the Beast and Snow White. He even has a different voice for each of the dwarves.
But, my dad doesn't usually come upstairs until long after midnight. Sometimes he tumbles against the walls like a lumbering giant, and Gary perks his head up, ready to leap at the monster in the hall. My mother, she doesn't ever leave her bedroom except to eat bowls of cold chicken soup. Every night, she slips two red pills into her mouth and disappears into silence. I bet she never dreams of fairy godmothers or flying on the back of a winged beast.
The hallway feels like an icy tunnel. Goosebumps rise on my arms and my eyes droop from the darkness. I just want my parents to believe that a monster lives in my room.
"Come back to bed," Gary says, waving me over with his soft white paw.
I follow him back to my bedroom where he can protect me from empty hallways.
Congrats, Andrea! You've won a Writer Unboxed T-shirt and WU coffee mug. We'll be in touch via email to ask you about sizing, etc…
And our third-place winner, bringing home 9.39% of the vote is:
Michael Molony
The Girl and the Wolf
One autumn day, a girl frolicked about in the forest, kicking the fallen leaves into the air.
Suddenly, a squirrel rushed out from behind some brush. "There's a wolf about!" he cried. "You should hide, too, before he finds you and eats you all up."
"Not to worry, squirrel, but thanks for the warning." The girl pulled an acorn from her pocket and handed it to the squirrel, who was most grateful.
She resumed her whimsical romp and was stopped again, this time by a rabbit who hopped out from behind some boulders. "You must hide now!" he said. "There's a wolf in these woods and he'd love to make a meal of you."
"Not to worry, rabbit, but thanks for the warning." The girl pulled a carrot from her pocket and gave it to the rabbit.
She gaily continued, when a large, menacing wolf stepped in front of her.
"Hey, Roscoe," she said, with noticeably less enthusiasm.
"How'd it go out there?"
"I know where they're all hiding," the girl said, her voice deepening. She then removed her mask, revealing an equally vile wolf. "You be the girl next time."
Moral: If someone seems too nice, check for a tail.
Congratulations, Michael! You've also won a WU T-shirt. We'll be in touch over email soon.
Thanks again to everyone who participated, and to Debbie Ohi for her generosity in allowing us use of her artwork.
We'd love to hear your thoughts in comments re: if you'd like to do something like this again, and what changes–if any–you might suggest for the future. And until next time…

NFL Football Sports Betting – Inside the NFL football betting lines
As the 1 PM games were coming to a close and our early fate had been sealed, Stony turned around from the line board, looked me square in the eyes and delivered a flawless impression of Sam Elliot in The Big Lebowski. "Sometimes you eat the barre, and sometimes the barre eats you," he proclaimed. This afternoon, the bear ate us.
Despite the fact that the public took a beating every which way they went yesterday, (favorites, dogs, overs, unders, parlays and teasers), they woke up determined to cure the hangover by taking a little of the hair of the dog that bit them as our handle increased from last week. They went with favorites, and they went big. It did not matter who was playing or what the spread was, everyone was willing to give points. They went with the Dolphins and Green Bay against divisonal rivals. They went with Buffalo and Kansas City at home. They even went with my grandmother, the favorite at this afternoon's North Shore JCC bridge tournament. Sure enough, they were all winners.
Even when Joe Action bucked the trend by going with San Fransisco getting three at St. Louis, he didn't get hurt because he got a push and made out like a bandit on exotics.Going into the 4 PM games, we needed some of the worst teams in the NFL to stop some of the bleeding. With the early winners coming back and laying big money on favorites, Carolina, Arizona, San Diego and Cincinatti had to defy logic and come up big. Steve again turned to me and said, "It's gonna be a blood bath."
As the late games went to half, we got a bit of reprieve when underdogs held their own as Philly, Tampa and Oakland faield to cover halftime lines.
As the afternoon's action came to a close, the tides continued to turn in our favor as the public's early love affair with the favorites ended with some good old fashion trailer park domestic violence. The Bengals covered and the Panthers won outright, and both served to break up the majority of exotics.
Despite our valiant comeback during the late games, it all came down to ESPN's Sunday night game in Minnesotta, where the public were all over the heavily favored Vikings. In fact, we needed Chicago for everything: first quarter, second quarter, half, game, over, exotics. We even needed the Bears for the coin toss.
The Bears lost the coin toss, and the rest is history.

Who wouldn't want to ride a motorbike or moped along stunning white sandy beaches, through unspoilt jungle and around a picturesque Malay fishing village? Riding your motorbike by Tioman's numerous attractions and gorgeous settings is pure joy, a simple pleasure maybe, but one that will make your day, as well as your Facebook wall.
Book your favorite Tioman hotel here...
You can stop your bike, park it for a while, whilst you go and take a closer look at anything that draws your attention. Best of all, you can go off-road, ride your motorbike to places that are too far to reach on foot, and you can follow tracks that are too narrow to go by car. In essence, Tioman is your oyster. Tip: bring a hamper with some fresh fruit and a few cold ones for an unforgettable picnic at one of Tioman's romantic locations, just the two of you. How awesome would that be?
You can rent motorbikes or mopeds in Tekek, which is Tioman's main village. The village and its surroundings offer more than enough paved roads, sandy roads and simple tracks that you can ride on.

Slow Money Alliance Seeks to Save the World One Organic Rutabaga at a Time
The Alliance believes it can right some of Wall Street's wrongs by convincing investors that there's another way to approach money. Taking a page from the slow food movement -- which argues that fast food will ruin your health, local culture, and the environment -- Slow Money suggests that "fast money" is doing the same thing. The cure? Give up looking for Wall Street's fast returns and put money into local, sustainable agriculture instead.
That's what several hundred investors, farmers, philanthropists, and activists gathered to hear at a conference last week held on a 1,400 acre working farm in Shelburne, Vermont. (One irony perhaps lost on the hosts: The event was held at Shelburne Farms, formerly home to a branch of the Vanderbilt family, whose colossal wealth came from railroads and shipping.)
In the conference's keynote address, environmentalist and Middlebury College scholar in residence Bill McKibben argued that "fast money" is supporting petroleum-based farming and polluters such as BP. "The Midwest has become a place where you use oil to hold up plants so you can pour oil over them," McKibben said, speaking in a tent pitched near both Lake Champlain and Shelburne Farms' Coach Barn, which used to house the estate's horse-drawn carriages. A banner hung overhead with the message, "You want to talk about returns? At 1,000:1 in four months, a tomato seed makes even the highest fliers seem paltry."
Fossil Fuel Costs Are Key
At the conference, McKibben offered his recipe for helping avert global warming and environmental destruction: higher taxes on fossil fuels and government subsidies for small farmers, rather than agribusiness. "There is nothing that would cause the end of fast money" quicker than a higher price for fossil fuels, McKibben said.
While McKibben's speech received a standing ovation, the realities facing the movement are daunting.
Robert Zevin, the president of Robert Brooke Zevin Associates and a father of socially responsible investing, was asked by one audience member whether she should take money from her 401(k) and invest it along the guidelines being touted at the conference. "Certainly not," Zevin replied. "The whole system is rigged to make slow money difficult."
The primary aim of the Slow Money Alliance is to convince one million investors to plunk one percent of their assets into small food systems within a decade. Yet even if an investor wanted to help Slow Money reach that goal, there's no way to pursue it. Without a mutual fund that targets small organic farms, for example, there's no way for most ordinary investors to put money into a raw dairy operation. And even for wealthy investors, foundations and charities, there are few pathways to funneling money toward Slow Money's intended beneficiaries. One session at the conference led to a debate about how to create such investments -- should the Slow Money Alliance create a fund-of-funds for wealthy investors, for example? -- without providing clear answers.
Other Obstacles for the Movement
It's also unclear whether the slow-food approach to money would appeal to investors other than high-net-worth individuals looking to support a pet project or family foundations viewing it as a type of philanthropy. After all, food is a commodity people enjoy for its aesthetic benefits, while money is seen as a cold, hard asset that's best put to use creating more money. Another issue the movement faces is the lack of a track record. There is no way to tell just how well slow money investments would perform.
"We don't have good statistics on how it works as an asset class," admitted Slow Money Chairman Woody Tasch. "But if you believe it's broken, it's time to invest."
Tasch, who is the former CEO of Investors' Circle, which says it has directed $133 million into environmental and socially aware companies and funds, admitted that the movement is in its very early stages. "We're trying to figure out how to do this," he told the crowd. (Tasch didn't respond to multiple requests for an interview with DailyFinance.)
As it stands, the Slow Money Alliance is attracting the same type of crowd that pays $5 for a gallon of organic milk: wealthy, white and left-leaning. As Joel Salatin, the owner of Virginia's Polyface farm told the crowd, many of the country's most successful social movements began with the rich. "The abolitionist cause was viewed as elitist -- 'You're wealthy enough not to need slaves,' and so on," Salatin said. "We've got to start this with the wealthy people, because they can afford it."

The son of one of the victims of the Sean Graham bookmakers' massacre has said the leader of the UDA/UFF did not tell the people of the Lower Ormeau "anything new" when he recently stated the five killed were innocent.
Tommy Duffin was speaking after UDA chief Jackie McDonald used this month's anniversary of the slaughter to say the five who died – Jack Duffin (66); Willie McManus (54); Christy Doherty (52); Peter Magee (18) and James Kennedy (15) – were innocent.
However, Mr McDonald, who was in jail at the time of the February 1992 attack, stopped short of apologising for the murders, saying he couldn't because he was "not part" of the attack.
A UFF statement at the time attempted to justify the killings with a statement ending with the phrase 'Remember Teebane,' a reference to the bombing of a van carrying eight Protestant workmen through Teebane Crossroads in Tyrone three weeks previously by the IRA.
The April 1992 edition of loyalist magazine New Ulster Defender also stated it was in retaliation to the IRA killings, adding that the Ormeau Road was "a cesspit of republicanism".
Tommy, son of oldest victim Jack Duffin, said the words from the UDA meant nothing to the families because the casualties' innocence was known already.
"We all knew at the time that these people were innocent. The people of the Lower Ormeau are not stupid and know none of those killed were involved in Teebane, so how could it be carried out in that name?
"I have a very low opinion of Mr McDonald in the first place but I don't understand why he was even speaking about this. The anniversary was about Sean Graham's bookmakers and the atrocity that occurred there.
"If he said anything, it should have been sorry for what his organisation did to five innocent people but he couldn't and it's clear he wants no part of it."
Speaking during the anniversary earlier this month, Mr McDonald conceded the five deceased were innocent victims.
"If there had been a war between loyalism and republicanism, I'd have rather seen them taking the war to each other, not to the communities. But that's where it took everybody.
"It was part of a numbers game in which innocent people usually suffer. But I can't say sorry, because I wasn't part of it."
The massacre was carried out by two UFF gunmen with a rifle and Browning pistol, the latter of which was handed over to the paramilitary group by RUC officers. Tommy said the claims made by the UFF at the time were extremely hurtful.
"The organisation said we lived in a cesspit of republicanism, which anyone who knows the Ormeau Road knows is not the case. For the organisation Mr McDonald represents to say that was totally unfounded and tarred my father and everyone else as something they were not.
"Then 20 years later the leadership turns round and says they knew the people were innocent from the start. It just shows Mr McDonald's organisation are a law unto themselves."

CyberDefender Early Detection Center™ 2.0
Protect your computer and your identity against:
Spyware, Viruses, Malware, Adware, Phishing scams, and dangerous Spam.
Get tough, get smart - get CyberDefender Early Detection Center 2.0. This inclusive security software suite is an all-in-one weapon against serious Internet threats that can damage your PC, compromise your identity, steal money from online accounts, and make your Web experience a nightmare.
* Real-time security updates
* Fastest possible responder to online threats
* Powerful first layer of defense.
* Compatible with other security suites
Spyware Removal - detects and removes dangerous spyware and adware from your computer.
You're not paranoid, they really ARE watching you. On average, one new spyware threat is released every day, and with it a goldmine for hackers trying to steal personal information, malcontents interested in draining system resources, and companies angling for a competitive edge at your expense. If your system is crashing, incredibly slow, filled with spam mail, or covered with pop-up ads, you probably have spyware - and it can be deadly to your computer. Fortunately, CyberDefender Early Detection Center™ 2.0 includes earlySPY, a free tool that identifies, quarantines and removes spyware with just a few clicks of your mouse. The earlySPY solution provides the latest threats as they become available, reporting all new threats to the Early Alert Center™ where a defense is developed and then broadcast to all earlySPY users. This powerful tool stops snoopers dead in their tracks, protecting you from identity theft and your computer from being "hijacked."
Virus Protection - detects and removes viruses from your computer.
All those joke e-mails you open without thinking? Not so funny when they contain malicious software known as viruses, as so many do. Not to mention photos, instructions, and other attachments that harbor viruses which can seriously damage your machine. When your computer operates slowly, won't open programs, emits strange error messages, or starts shutting down on its own, it's probably caught a bug. CyberDefender Early Detection Center 2.0's easy-to-use features include earlyVIRUS, a free anti-virus software detection tool that catches computer viruses faster. Viruses are scanned, identified, quarantined, and removed, all with just a few clicks of your mouse. Previously classified threats are combated immediately, while new threats are reported instantly to the Early Alert Center™, which then quickly provides the latest threat definitions update to earlyVIRUS users.
Spam Killer - blocks email with spyware and viruses.
Spam email isn't just annoying - it's often criminal. Sure, sometimes it's just tiresome "adware," but "phishing scams" are cleverly disguised spam that fool users into revealing bank passwords, social security numbers, and other data that can be used to steal your personal identity or cash. Not to mention other types of spam designed to infect your computer with viruses. CyberDefender Early Detection Center 2.0's earlySPAM makes it safe to check your e-mail again, filtering dangerous spam from reaching your Outlook inbox and focusing specifically on emails with dangerous payloads - namely spyware, viruses or phishing attacks. earlySPAM can complement basic filters such as Outlook's and protect your e-mail inbox from the worst thugs on the Internet.
Intrusion Controls - get the latest Microsoft updates and remove personal information stored on your computer.
An identity crisis is a terrible thing - especially when it's caused by hackers. Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows operating system can compromise your machine with malicious computer viruses and worms, offering opportunities for identity theft and other criminal behavior. Microsoft regularly issues updates or patches to fix bugs and plug security holes in Windows, so it's important to get the latest updates from Microsoft as soon as they are released. You can help prevent identity theft by using CyberDefenderFREE's earlyMONITOR to remind you of Windows updates days before they are available from Microsoft. earlyMONITOR also offers an intrusion detection feature to alert you about other potential problems, including a check on whether your PC firewall is providing full protection. As an added benefit, earlyMONITOR keeps track of personal passwords and "cookies" (small text files of information, such as user ID's, user preferences or even archived shopping cart information) that can be susceptible to theft from hackers, spyware or other threats.
Scam Shield - identifies and warns you about phishing sites and other potentially dangerous websites.
They say there's a sucker born every minute. But you won't be one of them with CyberDefenderFREE's earlySCAM, an anti-phishing technology that analyzes every website you visit to block fake scam sites. Email scams typically use fear tactics to entice victims into visiting a fraudulent website, created to resemble legitimate business websites (think banks or online payment services) in order to steal personal login, password, and account information. earlySCAM provides the option of overriding its scam blocking feature, continuing on to the suspicious website, or viewing more detailed information about a phishing site in CyberDefender's Early Alert Center™, where threats are ranked according to degrees of seriousness.

Created in 1981, the American Cinematheque has been honoring and promoting the art of motion pictures, presenting films and videos otherwise not available to the large public, and establishing a dialogue between audience and filmmakers, in the realm of classical, independent and new talent filmmaking. Home base of the Cinematheque is the historic 1922 landmark Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Blvd, where the first Hollywood premiere of Robin Hood starring Douglas Fairbanks was held in 1922, and the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, where the Cinematheque started programming in 2005. Since 1999 over one and a half million people have enjoyed the unique programming of the Cinematheque, with almost 10,000 films screened from all over the world. The Cinematheque hosts several foreign programs like Recent Spanish Cinema, German Currents and Cinema Italian Style, and the film noir series Noir City. Lively QAs often accompany the films and some of the major filmmakers in the world have stepped on the stage of the Egyptian and the Aero to discuss their films.
For the last 15 years, the Cinematheque has been hosting the Golden Globe Foreign Language Nominees Symposium – with its live webcast – which follows the screenings of the five nominated foreign language films at the Aero. It was therefore only fitting that the HFPA would decide, in 2016, on a $2 million-dollar donation to the Cinematheque. The funds immediately provided for the restoration and much-needed repairs of the Egyptian Theatre from water damage to the roof, the courtyard, and the lobby, including new carpeting which was hand painted to reproduce the original design in regal dark blue. A new concessions stand and new upholstering of the seats with a special fabric was also part of the restoration.
The funds also lead to the purchase of a Barco DP4K30L laser projector – which makes the Cinematheque the only non-profit art-house exhibitor in the country outfitted with this equipment - and the re-installation of the Legacy Norelco AAII 35/70mm projectors with all the original nitrate safety housings and rollers refitted along with the Legacy Analog Audio Cinema Processors. In June of 2016, the existing Projection Booth in the Egyptian's main Rigler Theatre was replaced by a Nitrate Retrofit booth, under a parallel project co-funded by the HFPA, Turner Classic Movies, and the Film Foundation, to allow the screening of Cellulose Nitrate Flammable Films. Screenings of an original 35mm print of Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, Carol Reed's suspenseful British drama The Fallen Idol and Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's Technicolor Black Narcissus marked this important nitrate return.
In a later phase of the HFPA donation, the Cinematheque will establish an Endowment fund to maintain the Theatre in a constant first-class condition. As a sign of the partnership, a replica of the Golden Globe will be situated in the courtyard.
