Remove malware step 12 -- Create a formal security incident response plan
Create a formal security incident response plan for malware removal. Learn how in this part of our step-by-step guide for value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators (SIs) and security consultants.
At the enterprise level, you really need a formal security incident response plan. It's one thing to clean malware off one or two systems but quite another to respond to a widespread outbreak across an entire network. The following sites are great starting points:
- https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-83/archive/2005-11-23
- http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-61/sp800-61.pdf
- http://www.first.org/resources/guides
- http://cirt.rutgers.edu/tools.php
Remove malware step-by-step
Step 1: Use several tools
Step 2: Try free tools
Step 3: Check obvious places
Step 4: Dig deeper
Step 5: Unload infected software
Step 6: Disable system restore, reboot in safe mode
Step 7: Check for software corruption or hardware problem
Step 8: Don't rely solely on a search engine
Step 9: Check for vendor-specific removal tools
Step 10: Hash suspect files
Step 11: When in doubt, reload
Step 12: Create a formal security incident response plan

The next day we drove on to Matsumoto down a long winding valley, where there is a classic samurai castle in original condition, just having time to see it and a couple of heritage buildings looking like they had popped out of somewhere like Brazil before driving out of Matsumoto to sleep in a winding valley below one of an endless stream of hydro-dams that litter the steep forested landscape of Japan.
The interior of the castle was a simple earthy military museum.
The next day we drove over the Japanese Alps in peerless brilliant sunshine on tiny precipitous hairpin bend ridden secondary roads past Kamigochi and the skyline pike - a mad Japanese tourist route you can travel only on buses to avoid pollution of the tundra, gaining clear but distant views of Yari, Japan's 'Matterhorn', a stark piece of 3100 metre high rock, and down again to Takayama, which is a classic Japanese town with a beautiful old quarter full of temples shrines and old wooden houses.
At the top of the valley the road enters a twisting series of tunnels which you have to be very careful about to choose the right entrance or you may become 'spirited away' to the wrong destination. We chose to avoid the obvious route taking small mountain roads to avoid the large toursit route directly to the ski towns and the highway across the alps which you can take only by tourist bus because cars are banned to avoid CO2 contamination of the mountain flora.
When we reached on of the resort mountain towns, we took yet another small side road winding steeply up out of the valley to a pass that leads towards Takayama on a small mountain side road.
Looking from the summit of the pass down towards Takayama
At the summit of the pass, we found our way on up onto the alpine tundra was barred by the private vehicle ban which you can see highlighted in red on the sign below.
So here is a brochure image of what the tundra bus route looks like ...

These are one of my favorite summer snacks. There was an abundance of squash blossoms in the markets this week as the growing season has come to and end and the farmers are pulling out the plants.
I love to simply stuff them with a homemade ricotta mixture.
Ricotta-Stuffed Squash Blossoms
makes 12
12 fresh squash blossoms, gently dusted to remove any dirt
12 oz homemade ricotta
3 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fresh thyme
sea salt
1 cup light beer
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
olive oil for frying
Combine ricotta, pine nuts, honey and thyme. Stir until combined. Salt to taste.
Using a pastry bag, carefully fill flowers with mixture.
In a medium bowl, mix beer, flour and salt until incorporated.
In the mean time, heat the oil.
When oil is hot, carefully dip blossoms in tempura mixture and immediately place blossom in oil. Fry until golden in color.

You have probably never even heard of a Christmas Club Savings Account. They are an account that helps you save for Christmas by allowing you to make direct deposits of your savings during the year but you can't access the account without penalty until Christmas time, generally from the 1st of November. Christmas Club Savings Accounts were really popular in the 1970s and 1980s and are now becoming harder to find. The big banks no longer offer them but you can still find them with some of the smaller banks and credit unions. So are Christmas Club Savings Accounts worth it?
Well, the biggest pro for a Christmas Club Savings Account is that they allow you to start a regular savings habit for Christmas, while restricting your access during the year. Generally speaking most accounts allow you to access your money for free from the 1st of November until the 31st of January. You can set up a direct debit from your regular account when you get paid, straight to your Christmas Club Account. Even at $10 per week for a year you will have $520 by the time Christmas rolls around. Another pro is that these accounts generally have no account keeping fees and when you withdraw the money it does not have to be used on Christmas, the money can be used for bills or birthday presents, whatever you like.
The downside is that if you do need to access your money before the specified period you will be penalised. Each account has different rules around this so make sure you are aware of how your specific account works. Also, generally speaking, the interest rate on these accounts is not as good as other types of savings accounts.
So are Christmas Club Savings Accounts worth it? It depends what you are after, like all accounts there are pros and cons. If you are interested in a Christmas Club Savings account make sure you shop around for the one that suits you the most. And given each one is different make sure you understand all the terms and conditions of the one you choose. There are also loads of other ways to save for Christmas, apart from using a Christmas Club account so click here check to some of them out.

"We have long known about the beneficial effects of respiratory-pacing on the cardiovascular system," Said Dr. Gianfranco Parati, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Second Cardiology Unit, S.Luca Hospital, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, Milan, Italy and an investigator of one of the studies. "Having a device which delivers such a therapy in the comfort of the patients' home is very promising. With just 15-minutes session twice a day, we have seen in our pilot study that patients' ejection fraction (EF), pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and performance at the 6-minutes walk test improved significantly. In addition, we have seen a significant improvement in patients' quality of life (QOL) as reflected by a formal QOL questionnaire and by patients attesting to their ability to climb stairs, carry groceries and breathe easier throughout the day and night. Personally, I was most impressed by the fact that patients were reluctant to return the devices at the end of the study."
"Since the FDA clearance of our first therapeutic device, RESPeRATE to lower blood pressure, we are constantly perusing additional applications for our Low-Frequency Respiratory-Pacing technology" said Erez Gavish, CEO of InterCure, inTone's & RESPeRATE's manufacturer. "We are encouraged by the promising outcomes of these first two heart failure studies and are looking forward to study inTone further in a pivotal trial setting in the near future."

You are such a cutie! Seriously, if I tried to let windows dry my hair I'd have a full on rat's nest…lol. You are very lucky to be blessed with such pretty, thick hair! Thanks for the shout out (I smiled like a goober when I saw it!) (:ReplyDelete

The Almay doesn't make you break out? I'll have to look into it! What other foundations did you find were making you break out before switching?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, it's great! I was using a normal face wash and just covergirl foundation and we couldn't figure out which was doing the damage. It seemed like whenever I was careful to use a different facewash, my skin would just turn really red, and the covergirl was making me have breakouts. So now, I use Simple makeup wipes and face wash, and then use Almay for foundation, I love it! They're both hypoallergenic and are good to not make my skin real red or prone to acne. :)Delete

The ability to stimulate neural circuits with very high precision light to control cells—optogenetics—is key to exciting advances in the study and mapping of the living brain. [11] A breakdown of memory processes in humans can lead to conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia. By looking at the simpler brain of a honeybee, new research published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, moves us a step towards understanding the different processes behind long-term memory formation. [10], has shown that it is possible for some information to be inherited biologically through chemical changes that occur in DNA. During the tests they learned that that mice can pass on learned information about traumatic or stressful experiences – in this case a fear of the smell of cherry blossom – to subsequent generations. [9] A new way of thinking about consciousness is sweeping through science like wildfire. Now physicists are using it to formulate the problem of consciousness in concrete mathematical terms for the first time. Discovery of quantum vibrations in 'microtubules' inside brain neurons supports controversial theory of consciousness. The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules, cells, organs, and fluids, throughout the brain, body, and nervous system. Up until recently it was thought that all these interactions operated in a linear sequence, passing on information much like a runner passing the baton to the next runner. However, the latest findings in quantum biology and biophysics have discovered that there is in fact a tremendous degree of coherence within all living systems. The accelerating electrons explain not only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, the Wave-Particle Duality and the electron's spin also, building the Bridge between the Classical and Quantum Theories. The Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators explains the electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and Strong Interactions by the diffraction patterns. The Weak Interaction changes the diffraction patterns by moving the electric charge from one side to the other side of the diffraction pattern, which violates the CP and Time reversal symmetry. The diffraction patterns and the locality of the self-maintaining electromagnetic potential explains also the Quantum Entanglement, giving it as a natural part of the Relativistic Quantum Theory and making possible to understand the Quantum Biology.

The very ancient art of healing with sound is quickly growing in popularity throughout the world as many feeling the call to quiet down the mind, pull the reigns on their routines to listen and inquire into a deeper rhythm of life. "Music without words means leaving behind the mind and leaving behind the mind is meditation. Meditation returns you to the source and the source of all is sound." Kabir

By now you've probably been on a yoga retreat, or two. Early morning yoga followed by lounging in nature is hard to beat, right? Unless, of course, you're looking for something a bit more in your yoga practice. A 100 hour yoga teacher training can provide you a deeper study of the yoga philosophy through combined yoga school and yoga retreat.
Maybe you're not yet interested in being a yoga instructor (some don't like to mix work with play, we get it) but you absolutely crave more in your practice.
Or maybe you are interested in being a yoga instructor but you're not quite sure if you're ready to take the leap. Whatever the case may be, a 100-hour yoga certification is the perfect stepping stone.
Of all the things in the world to be addicted to, yoga seems to be the best option. And believe us, we get it.
Once you break past that initial excitement of entering your yoga practice, it sort of just takes over.
It begins as a curious practice, one in which you explore your body perhaps for the first time.
Then, you start to make gains. Maybe they're small: a deeper stretch or a further reach.
At first, it's exhilarating. So you go back for more, invest in a better mat, and watch YouTube videos.
(Nope, it's not just you. We have all been there.)
But the thing is, the more that you invest‒whether it's time, money, or interest‒the more that your practice will transform.
It will transcend the physical practice and you will unwittingly enter a spiritual practice.
Why? Because that is yoga. The moves just help you get there, naturally.
Your interest becomes a borderline obsession as if something inside you has been awoken for the first time in years. Maybe in your entire life.
More classes and more education barely brush the surface, leaving you only hungrier for more.
So what do you do?
Yoga retreats seem like the next logical step, stripping away the busy distractions from your everyday life so that you can focus on your practice.
But what about the rest of the hours of the day? Because yoga retreats don't have you doing sun salutations for 8 hours a day.
And this is where a 100-hour yoga teacher training comes in.
Rather than taking a yoga vacation (which this counts as one too, by the way) you are getting a yoga education. You're not there to become a professional or certified yoga teacher, necessarily. You are there for the pure love of the practice of yoga.
Who knows, maybe it will lead to a 200-hour certification and maybe you will make a major career change.
Or maybe you will take your own yoga practice to a deeper, fuller level that was not possible back home.
Any yoga teacher training certification provided by a yoga school registered with the Yoga Alliance USA will follow the same general structure.
You will learn about yoga anatomy and physiology. The course will explore the yoga philosophy while also discussing teaching methodology. Ayurveda is often incorporated into many certification courses as well. You will observe the yogic principles in action in virtually everything that you do during your teaching training.
Then you will also go through the yoga asanas and techniques for pranayama breathing. Whether you study ashtanga vinyasa, hatha yoga, gentle yoga, or even somatic yoga is up to you. You can study one yoga therapy style or all of them. You can even learn to create your own flow yoga just for you back home.
The 100-hour TTC is for you to explore your own practise, whether it's already as certified yoga teacher or as a novice. The program is designed for all students.
A practice that moves beyond the 9-5 limitations that our fast-paced, workaholic lives impose on us is definitely possible. A yoga retreat, while totally amazing, can sometimes leave you wanting more. For this insatiable craving, a 100-hour program is perfect. The best part about 100-hour trainings is that they are a fraction of the cost of regular trainings, though no less valuable.
Focus on your education from the best trainings in the world, for less than a thousand dollars in India. Head to Costa Rica for a perfect balance of education and relaxation, all for just a tiny bit more than a regular yoga retreat. Or go all in with luxury, education, and transformation in Bali. Or get to the heart of it in Rishikesh.
A 100-hour certification course is unique because it bridges the gap between an indulgent retreat and an intensive full teacher training. You get the best of both worlds for a nice, compromised price.
Study vinyasa yoga or ashtanga yoga with students from all over the world.
Become a professional meditation teacher amidst the breathtaking snow-clad peaks of the Himalayan ranges. If you are a certified 200 or 300-hour yoga teacher and looking to expand your knowledge and bring more value to your life then this course is for you. This training serves as a "Continuing Education Program" for 200/300 hour certified yoga teachers in the field of yoga and recognized by Yoga Alliance. This is also a comprehensive course for all the aspirants who want to expand their knowledge and deepen their personal practice.
This fun training combines your passion for yoga with water sports. Learn how to take your vinyasa flow yoga to the board and catch a few waves while you're out there. Located in Sumba, this retreat is hidden away from the crowds while providing the exact same beauty and tranquility as Bali. Join a small group of like-minded students for a fun and active training.
This yoga teacher certification course offers an overview of the Yoga system, assists the participant in assessing his or her needs and then develop a sound personal Yoga practice. Apart from Yoga asana (postures) and Pranayama (breathing techniques), students learn Yoga Nidra ( a relaxation technique) as well as a couple of Kriyas (cleansing processes).

Steam-Powered Giant Robots vs. Martians In STEAM MAN
Fans in attendance at Friday night's "Dark Horse Builds Characters" panel had the opportunity to hear from one of the longest-standing independent comic companies about a host of subjects. These ranged from creative directions for 2015 along with a sort of "state of creator-owned comics" from Dark Horse creators such as Joelle Jones (Lady Killer), Jeff Lemire (Black Hammer), Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook, (Harrow County), and Curt Pires (POP). This also included some surprise announcements regarding new titles coming out later in 2015 including Mark Miller, Joe Lansdale, and Piotr Kowalski's The Steam Man #1.
Mark Miller spoke with Newsarama to discuss his upcoming comic with fellow collaborators, Joe Lansdale and Piotr Kowalski.
Newsarama: Mark, what led you, Joe, and Piotr to The Steam Man?
Mark Miller: A while back, us here at Seraphim Films connected with Joe and he said some very nice words about a previous comic book I was writing with Clive Barker called Next Testament. I've been reading Joe's work since about as long as I could hold up a book, so to receive a blurb like that from him was very exciting. I thanked him and asked how he felt about the idea of me adapting something of his. I ran a few of my favorite Lansdale stories by him and the one we both landed on was Steam Man.
I brought the idea to Dark Horse editor Daniel Chabon, whom Seraphim has a relationship with, and he loved the idea. He asked how we felt about Piotr. What some people might not realize is that there's another connection there. Piotr drew Nightbreed, so we had worked with him before. Knowing that he was a) a dream to work with and b) just about the best artist working today made it a no brainer.
The whole thing came together through a series of happy connections.
Nrama: Can you give us a little background on The Steam Man? It seems like it's something of a nod to Cowboys and Aliens set in a steam punk world. What can you tell us about this series?
Miller: It's a bit more the other way around, actually. Joe's original short story upon which the comic is based ("The Steam Man of the Prairie and the Dark Rider Get Down") was first printed well before Cowboys and Aliens or Pacific Rim were part of the zeitgeist. It's a completely mondo story that I first read in the Subterranean Press book, Mad Dog Summer and Other Stories. It comes completely out of left field and when I began to understand what Joe was doing with the story, my jaw dropped. I was hooked and it's been a favorite of mine ever since.
It's perfect for visual adaptation and I think Piotr has done some of the best work of his career so far. It's wholly original, and if people find it as much fun to read in comic form as I found it as a short story, then they're in for a real treat.
Nrama: Were there other sources of inspirations for you and your fellow collaborators? What were they?
Miller: Oh absolutely. The book is an amalgam of inspirations. It's a loving mash up of old dime novels and science fiction and fantasy. The original story drew primarily from old west dime novels about steam-powered men. These are real! Stories like "The Steam Man of the Prairies," and "The Steam Man of the Plains," or "The Huge Hunter" – they're all mostly forgotten, but are pretty easy to find if you just do a little digging. And so Joe, inspired by this and his other favorite stories growing up, created this blend that has a little bit of everything. It's scary as hell, funny, and nothing short of an example of an imagination unbound. I can say these things because I didn't create it. That's all Joe. I'm just the one that was lucky enough to adapt it.
Nrama: Genre mashups can be a bit of a "hit or miss" thing. Taking two divergent fields like sci-fi and spaghetti Westerns is certainly a bit risky. How do you think The Steam Man makes a strong case for itself to new readers?
Miller: It's firmly rooted in classic literature. That's all I can say without giving too much away. But it's important, because it ensures that the story isn't just another hodgepodge of disposable ideas. Steam Man takes the best and lasting aspects of the fantastic, and weaves them together in a brutal, innovative way. After reading, I think you'll find out why the original short story haunted me long after reading it.
Nrama: What sort of reader are you targeting with this comic?
Miller: I don't know anyone who wouldn't be intrigued by this. It's full of emotion, humor, tension, and adventure. That, and the fact that its roots are indeed embedded into the solid foundation of some favorite fantastical literary masterpieces, I think, add up to something that just about anyone can enjoy.
That being said, the story is unflinchingly violent, so if you're squeamish, just read it with one eye open.
Nrama: When will the first issue be available? Is this going to be a mini-series or has Dark Horse given it the greenlight as a new ongoing?
Miller: We're looking at a 5 issue mini, and the first issue hits stands in October, just in time for Halloween.

Hospitality staff at the Boar's Head Inn, the Ivy resort owned and operated by UVA's nonprofit development corporation, are complaining of unpaid wages and retaliation by management, and their outcry has shed light on a history of labor law violations at the University-affiliated hotel and country club.
In an anonymous letter mailed last month to UVA Foundation CEO Tim Rose, whose organization owns the Inn, employees said that despite twice coming under federal scrutiny for labor practices, "working conditions have not improved," and staff are underpaid, shortchanged on overtime, and subjected to what they called "bullying" from managers.
The Inn has a less-than-spotless record when it comes to fair wage issues. Two separate Department of Labor investigations, the most recent completed last year, have resulted in the company being required to cough up more than $122,000 in back pay and $8,800 in fines for repeat violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The department first looked into wage issues at the Boar's Head in 2000, when investigators from its Richmond Wages and Hours division began scrutinizing pay practices and the employment of minors. That time around, the department agreed to allow the resort to do its own self-audit, according to a report released under the Freedom of Information Act. The same report, released in the spring of 2001, revealed that the resort was underpaying dozens of staff members.
According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers must pay employees overtime at 1.5 times their regular pay rate for any hours over 40 worked in a single week, and the overtime calculation must count commissions as part of employees' regular rate. Certain employees aren't covered by that rule, but in order for employers to count them as exempt, workers have to meet certain criteria: They must make 1.5 times minimum wage and get more than half their salary from commissions.
The 2001 report showed that 65 non-exempt employees were being shortchanged, their employers failing to count commissions as part of their regular pay when calculating overtime. The problem cropped up among desk clerks, whose commissions on certain sales weren't added in, and among banquet servers, whose overtime calculations hadn't included their share of the mandatory gratuity collected at events.
In addition, the resort's self-investigation revealed 14- and 15-year-old employees were kept at work past 7pm during the school year on several occasions, a violation of child labor restrictions.
Eventually, the Boar's Head paid more than $78,000 in back wages to the 65 employees, but wasn't fined for the infractions. "This is a first time investigation and there is no evidence of willfulness," the department's report reads, and the company was reported to have been "very cooperative."
But 11 years later, the department was again scrutinizing pay policy at the Inn. In March of 2012, the Richmond office launched an investigation, and while there were no child labor or minimum wage violations, it found some of the previous problems were still going on.
Between 2010 and 2012, some employees were improperly exempted from the overtime-on-commissions rule, according to the report on the investigation released last May and obtained under the FOIA. Others were being paid no overtime, or were only getting overtime when they worked more than 45 hours a week. The department also found that the company was failing to require certain employees to keep a detailed timesheet that calculated regular and overtime hours. And the Inn was still failing to calculate overtime pay rates correctly.
The investigation found the company owed 40 employees back pay amounting to $44,511. And this time, the department assessed $8,800 in what are known as Civil Money Penalties, or CMPs—fines for "willful or repeat disregard" for fair pay laws.
According to the investigation report, labor employees met with Inn management on May 30, 2012, and the company agreed to bring its practices in line with the law.
But at least some Boar's Head employees say not much has changed. In their letter, written on Inn stationery and copied to C-VILLE, the employees said they're still being stiffed on overtime, and claimed there are other problems, including retaliation against those who complain about pay issues. The employees say that hospitality staff's entry-level base pay of $8.20 per hour isn't a living wage, and that the Inn's efforts to cut salary and benefit costs have led to middle managers and other employees pulling long weeks to cover unfilled positions, and receiving no overtime pay.
"Managers continuously are being told that they have to work 50-60 hours a week without any compensatory time or time-for-time off," reads the letter from the employees, who did not identify themselves. "If you question the amount of hours that you are expected to work, the Manager is told, 'this is the hospitality industry and if you do not like it—you are free to find another job!'"
The employees also claimed they have "nowhere to go for assistance," because they believe the higher-ups in human resources share their identities with upper-level management. "The retaliation begins soon thereafter until you can't take it anymore and you are forced to leave," they wrote.
It's not the first time Boar's Head employees have written to those who run the resort to complain about working conditions. Around the time the Department of Labor was wrapping up its second investigation of the Inn, staff complained by letter to General Manager Matt Harris about bad treatment on the job. Harris responded in the June staff newsletter.
"I wish I could say that every team member is happy with every outcome—but I can't," Harris said in the newsletter. "However, I will strive to ensure that every team member knows that they will be heard and that they feel they have been treated fairly."
His letter makes no mention of the labor law violations the company had just been fined for.
Rose, the head of the UVA Foundation, did not respond to requests to for comment on the employees' complaints and the past censures from the Department of Labor. Neither did the UVA leaders who serve on the Foundation board, which includes University President Teresa Sullivan, COO Patrick Hogan, Vice President Bob Sweeney, and Board of Visitors member Victoria Harker. Instead, UVA spokesman McGregor McCance offered a one-page statement from Harris, in which he emphasized that he runs a for-profit hotel that operates independently from the University.
"The facility operates in a highly competitive market, offers market wages and competitive benefits," he wrote. "The Boar's Head will always review the local labor market, comply with employment laws and regulations, and pay a fair and competitive wage to its employees."
Harris said that the Inn "took immediate steps to address the findings" of the 2012 investigation, which he characterized as an audit. He also said the Inn regularly reviews policy on overtime exemptions with its attorneys.
But the employees who penned the letter of complaint said the company—and the Foundation that owns it—doesn't do right by those working behind the scenes.
"So little pay for a four diamond resort serving the wealthiest community members," reads letter. "It would rather invest in its property, landscaping, lighting, etc. than provide a decent wage for its workers."

abstract:Are you a person who loves books and interacting with people? Whistler Reads is looking for a new Director to lead groups and manage the program. This will involve picking titles, working up discussion points and questions, organizing meetings, leading groups and keeping up with content for our blog and social media platform.
Whistler Reads is a community literacy program that has operated for over a decade. As the first public book group, Whistler Reads has brought innovation and creative ideas to stimulate dialogue and discussion around books in Whistler. We've profiled prize-winning authors and local talent. Our events have ranged from close readings to expert speakers and panel discussions, to political skits to book themed costume parties, to video productions and podcasts. We've partnered with numerous Whistler groups and organizations and festivals to serve this mountain community's related interests and broaden the scope with popular and provocative published titles: Whistler Museum, WORCA and Crankworks - Pecha Kucha, Cornucopia, WPL to name a few.
A lot has changed in Whistler over the ensuing decade since our inception in 2005: a new public library facility (2007), the active writing community and growing success of the annual Writers Festival, the growth of the Whistler Arts Council and their grasp of the concept to make Whistler a "cultural tourism destination". Then there is last year's initiative to unite the corridor in coordinated literary events via "One Book One Corridor" (2015), and now a new group, The Dream Makers Literacy Committee (2016) whose goal is to incorporate other forms of learning encompassed in the general definition of literacy (numeracy, computer and digital literacy) for fuller cognitive competency in our community.
Whistler Reads has always maintained that open discussion of books contributes to personal development as well as community development. People new to the community have a place to come and meet other locals. Visitors who attend events contribute their worldly perspective - and enjoy meeting Whistlerites as though in our own living room. As we come together as a community to read and discuss books, we grow in ways that benefit community connectedness, enrich our relationships, influence our families, and improve our workplaces. We hone our listening and communication skills, improve our vocabulary, foster inclusivism, tolerance, and understanding. Civic engagement improves -- we vote, we volunteer, we flourish. Studies have even shown reading helps us sleep better and stave off neural decline.
For a list of all our previous events and books that encompass this social enterprise, click on the subject titles of our feature article list (in this column) to see a decade of programming.
Submit your resume and a statement of why you think you'd make a great Whistler Reads Director to email@example.com.
Sincerely, Paula Shackleton
Whistler Reads Founder

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Cabinet Painting In Grand Raids
Every year, many homeowners who decide to update their kitchen. Some of these people do minor updates like painting the walls or changing their decor. Others decide to do things like replacing their kitchen cabinets. If you've been thinking about replacing your cabinets, you should know that some homeowners have decided to paint their cabinets instead of replacing them. However, before you dive into a kitchen renovation, you should know that Cabinet Painting in Grand Rapids doesn't work for every homeowner and you should take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of painting your cabinets first.
Perhaps the biggest reason that you should paint your cabinets instead of replacing them is the cost. In fact, the cost of a new set of cabinets is anywhere from twenty to forty-five thousand dollars. Of course, this estimate depends on the size of your kitchen and the quality of the cabinets that you choose. You will also have additional expenses if you decide to have a company install your cabinets instead of installing them yourself. Most companies charge around one thousand dollars for cabinet installation. Many people also worry that their cabinets will bad painted, but if you hire a cabinet resurfacing company, they may look new.
Even though there's advantages of resurfacing your cabinets, there's a few disadvantages, too. If you don't like the layout of your kitchen, painting your cabinets will not correct that problem. Also, if your cabinets are low quality and are starting to fall apart, replacing them may be the best choice. Plus, if you plan to sell your home in the future new cabinets will be a huge selling point for potential buyers. New cabinets will also increase the value of your home. Keep in mind that resurfacing your cabinets isn't cheap. In fact, the average cost of having your cabinets resurfaced is around five thousand dollars.
As you can see there are both advantages and disadvantages of Cabinet Painting in Grand Rapids. If you think that it's a good idea to paint your cabinets instead of replacing them, you should contact Jon DeGraff Painting Inc today. They will happily provide you with a free estimate, so you can see how much it will cost to paint your kitchen cabinets. However, if you don't want to resurface your cabinets right now, they also offer a variety of other home improvement services that will improve the appearance of your home.

I am a mother of a young baby girl and I also work full-time. I breastfed my little one and pumped alongside this so I could return to work after 4 months. I really enjoyed making these pieces for myself to cherish and had some great feedback.
I started making these baby keepsakes for myself as a reward. When my NCT friends and baby massage mums saw it they all wanted one and encouraged me to help other mothers have something precious. So I am giving it a go and hope you like what you see.
I will lovingly handmake your keepsake as if it were my own. I truly believe that this is a beautiful thing for a mother to have and cherish, to remind them of these magical moments.

Research shows millions fooled by rogue puppy breeders
Posted on: Friday, February 24th, 2012
(Kennel Club Press Release) More than one in three dog owners may have been duped into buying a puppy farmed dog, many of which end up needing thousands of pounds of veterinary and behavioural treatment, according to Kennel Club research.
It is thought that the internet and demand for designer crossbreeds is fuelling the trade.
Puppy farming is a cruel industry where puppies are bred from overused breeding bitches, without any regard for their health or wellbeing.
More than a third of puppy buyers have bought their puppy from the internet, a pet shop or a newspaper advert; outlets often used for selling puppy farmed puppies.
Furthermore, as an additional sign that this trade is growing, almost half of puppy buyers did not see their puppy in its breeding environment.
Puppy farmers commonly sell their puppies through pet shops or over the internet so that people will not see the horrific conditions the pups are bred in.
The research found that 14 percent bought in pet shops, 10 percent picked their dog up from a motorway service station or other neutral location and 2 percent received a 'mail order pup' delivered straight to their door.
The health of these pups is likely to suffer as not only can they get skin conditions and terrible diseases like parvovirus as a result of the awful conditions, but to save money puppy farmers will not health test their dogs.
More than half of puppy buyers did not receive a contract of sale or see relevant health test certificates for the puppy's parents, which indicate how healthy the pup is likely to be.
Marc Abraham, Kennel Club veterinary advisor and narrator of the STOP Puppy Farming film, said: "There is now an alarming trend which is seeing breeders view dogs just as commodities without any regard for their rights as living creatures.
"People wouldn't buy from a car from a dodgy dealer, offering no MOT or service documents, but sadly people don't ask for the similar assurances from a dog breeder. These pups will then most likely suffer terrible health and behavioural problems further down the line."
There is concern that the trend for expensive designer crossbreeds and fashionable purebred dogs, is fuelling the trade in a market that is largely unregulated.
Whilst there is a lot of education in place for those who buy pedigree dogs registered with the Kennel Club and regulations that members of the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme are obliged to fulfil, those who breed crossbreeds and non Kennel Club registered dogs are more likely to cut corners and less likely to follow responsible steps, such as health testing.
Act now
The Kennel Club is campaigning for tougher legislation to clamp down on puppy farmers, which would see all breeders having to follow standards similar to those followed by members of the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme; the only scheme in the UK which sets standards for and monitors dog breeders and whose breeders provide a contract of sale.
In the meantime it is urging puppy buyers to only buy from one of around 8,000 Kennel Club Assured Breeders across the UK.
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: "All too often, people walk blindly into buying a puppy without being aware of all the information available to them.
"Those people who buy pedigree dogs tend to use the information that the Kennel Club provides, such as that available via the Kennel Club's Puppy Buying Guide app, which includes checking if their breeder is following responsible steps such as health testing.
"Because the industry lacks virtually any regulation, we urge people to go to a Kennel Club Assured Breeder since they follow all of the steps that we expect of the most reputable breeders and agree to have their premises checked by a Kennel Club inspector.
"Outside of this, all we can rely on is the local authority licensing system for those that breed large numbers of litters, and the Kennel Club will not register the pups of breeders without this licence. However, the licensing system is not 100% effective, which is why people should always report a suspected puppy farmer."
