Hacker Myths Debunked
We've been hearing a lot about hackers recently, mostly in connection to serious data breaches. We think of hackers compromising the nude photographs of popular female celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton. We think of them stealing 56 million Home Depot customers' credit card information. Or using Backoff malware to infiltrate Kmart or Dairy Queen.
All of these incidents teach us to think of hackers as nefarious individuals.They will stop at nothing to degrade our privacy, steal our identities, and ruin our experiences in cyberspace. Their craft is dishonorable, and so they deserve to be hated—and feared.
But is this stereotypical? Are all hackers like this?
In honor of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, which aims to improve user awareness about cyber threats online, below we problematize some of the most common hacker stereotypes we've come to learn and love. We do this in an effort to appreciate hacking for the complicated, variable and highly individualized practice that it is.
Myth #1: Hackers Are Maladjusted Young People Who Live In Their Mothers' Basements
We all know this one quite well. Some of the most dangerous hackers—the myth goes—wear black T-shirts, have long hair and are under 30 years of age. They spend all of their time on the computer – a passion which they use to isolate themselves from the rest of society. They are weird and maladjusted, which helps to explain why they want to do what they do.
Sure, there might be hackers that fit this stereotype but countless others do not. Take the idea that hackers spend endless hours at the computer—this is a common misperception of computer scientists that, despite its wide appeal, doesn't hold any water. In fact, many hackers have balanced relationships with their computers while others even have "day jobs" and just hack on the side.
Hackers can have healthy relationships with their peers and families and have proven records of academic excellence in school. Some may be young, but others are not, having spent decades accumulating their technical expertise. Many are well-adjusted to society, which in one light could make some hackers more dangerous.
John Walker, CTO of the Cytelligence Cyber Forensics OSINT Platform and a Blogger for Tripwire, explains: "There are [some] in our midst equally dangerous and very well accomplished over a number of years in which they have learned their trade, honed their skills, and could just be that guy sitting next to you in your office – so think again, don't make too many preconceived judgements, and remember to consider the 'Unusual Suspect Factor.'"
Myth #2: Hacking Is A "Boys Only" Club
Hacking may be a predominantly male activity but that doesn't mean that there aren't female hackers out there. For instance, a loose 22-year-old group of women known as Haecksen, a hacker club that uses for its name the German word for "witch," helped organize the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) Congress in 2010.
Other female hackers have spoken at DefCon or write viruses that destroy information instead of stealing it. We might hear the most about male hackers, but women are just as active in hacking communities.
Myth #3: All Hackers Are Masters of Their Craft
The way we paint hackers today elevates them to a level of unmatched technical prowess. Using this platform of expertise, they compromise any system they want with ease, regardless of whatever security protocols may be in place. Subsequently, as information security professionals, we are forced to play defense against these computer masters.
Mark Stanislav, Security Project Manager at Duo Security, explains this is not always the case: "Manipulation of systems is often as predictable as watching the sunrise from the east every morning. After enough practice and/or education, a hacker of a specific context can likely say, 'Oh, I'd totally try to do XYZ to hack that' given a scenario."
Additionally, not all hackers are necessarily skilled computer programmers. Sometimes all hackers need to know is where to look with respect to a particular system configuration or maybe they let a tool do that for them, despite having minimal understanding of how the tool works. Ultimately, we all know that it doesn't take a computer expert to break into a network.
Myth #4: All Hacking Is Bad
The notion that all hackers intend to cause harm is one of the biggest hacking myths today. Lamar Bailey, Director of Security R&D at Tripwire, says:"Hacking systems to gain access to data or features that are denied to the current user is the most popular definition that most people think of when it comes to hackers, but it goes much deeper. Hacking hardware to add new features has become a very popular way to extend the life and increase the security of all devices in our homes."
Ultimately, hacking has less to do with compromising data then with developing creative solutions to technical problems. Ken Westin of Tripwire rightly notes this fact: "Hacking is about understanding the underlying nature of technology—knowing specifically how things work from a high level all the way down to its most granular components. When you fully understand how things work, there is power in being able to manipulate it, shape it and utilize it in ways it may not have been intended to."
In this sense, hacking, like many other things, comes down to intentions. Ethical hacking can improve the security of various products, whereas malicious hacking seeks to undermine data integrity. It's how people hack which shapes the nature of a particular incident.
Hacking In All Its Colors
We hear a lot about hackers these days, but mainly those who are after people's personal and financial information. The majority of hackers out there aren't social miscreants who are technical masters bent on shutting down the Internet. They may be less knowledgeable, or they may be in the hacking business for the sake of computer security. The sooner we realize hacking's variability, the sooner we can champion the whitehats who are helping to protect us, and the sooner we can broaden our focus to target those who threaten our security online.

text: Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires "I wanted to go somewhere where I could help the team," Ginn said of why he chose the Cardinals. "And coming to the Cardinals was a big deal. They needed a fast guy, which I can bring to them."That he can.Seven years ago while preparing for the NFL Draft, Ginn was clocked in the 4.37-second range in the 40-yard dash. The 5-foot-11 receiver was asked Thursday how fast he'd run today, and he said, with a smile, "I'm probably about 4.38, you know, without working."Of course, Ginn added he hadn't run the 40 in a while, so that is just the time he's giving. But whether or not he is truly still that fast or even just a smidgen slower, in him, the Cardinals added a player that would appear to be perfect for coach Bruce Arians' offense."Just going back to all the guys that he had and being up there in Pittsburgh and seeing what he did to my Browns for years, it's just a great fit for me," Ginn said. "Just coming in and just knowing Mike Wallace and Santonio Holmes and different guys like that; it was just a good fit."With Fitzgerald and Floyd occupying the receiver spots out wide, Ginn figures to do most of his work out of the slot. Though he has little experience in that role, he said he'd play wherever the coaches want him to. The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes' introduction of Alex Meruelo Top Stories But slot or not, Ginn will be expected to take the top off of opposing defenses and open up things for the rest of the offense.Last season, the Cardinals used untested Brittan Golden and Teddy Williams in the role Ginn figures to have, with the two combining for five catches and 187 yards. In Carolina, Ginn caught 36 passes for 556 yards and five scores. Always an adept kick returner, Ginn admitted he was able to prove to teams that he was useful in other areas besides special teams, though he'd be happy to help the Cardinals out there, too."My season last year brought me a rebirth type of season to show that I'm still a receiver and I can still get it done," he said. "That's what made me be able to come out to the Arizona Cardinals, having that great year."But while his 2013 may have led to an increased amount of interest in his services, Ginn admitted he never really expected to leave the Panthers. Though he's excited to join a Cardinals team that has a "fiery defense" and, in his opinion, is just a piece or two away from being an even better offensive team, that it even got to this point is a bit of a shock."I was very surprised, but it's a game," he said. "They've got to do what's best for them and I have to do what's best for me, and becoming an Arizona Cardinal is what's best for me." TEMPE, Ariz. — They say you can't teach speed. You may be able to coach up a player to better utilize whatever speed he possesses, but someone who is not particularly fast will never become particularly fast.Ted Ginn, Jr. does not have that problem, and because of that the Arizona Cardinals have the deep threat they've been looking for.The team signed the former Ohio State star to a three-year, $9.75 million contract Thursday.

A women centric story. Director is very careful in his story. Without un necessary fun scenes of fat women he carried the screenplay. Be who u r dont change for anyone. Hamr caused by instant weight loss shown in nice way. Anushaka character is damn good. Arya looks very handsome. Prakash Raj, uravasi char r good rest of the cast is bad. different story which may attract few & may not.
Movie is all about a women who reduce her weight & get ready for her marriage. So the message s accept the way u look. Cast is bad since it dubbed it doesnt semma to have Tamil falvour. 2nd is boring very scenematic dialgoues. Rather Anushka hard work nothing is too good.

The Role of Credit Counseling in Chapter 7 & Chapter 13
I have mixed feelings about the role of credit counseling in a Chapter 7 case, although it is mandatory and must be done for a case to proceed. So I comply with the credit counseling rules in a way that makes the process easiest for my clients. For instance, I use an online website company for the pre-filing course. The client simply goes to the website and answers certain questions regarding their income and expenses, which they have already provided to me. I give them a code that allows them to log in under my account and I pay the course on their behalf. The certificate of completion is immediately e-mailed to me directly, so I know the client is ready to file. The first course is designed to determine if there is another alternative to filing bankruptcy, which of course I have already determined is not the case. I have already qualified the client as needing to file bankruptcy, but they have to take this course so that a certificate can be filed with the court with the petition.
The second part of the credit counseling process is a debtor education course, designed to help clients not get into this situation again. It is a requirement and therefore I just make it easy. I provide the client with a DVD to watch and fill out a code sheet. I get a lot of positive feedback about this part of the course, as my clients find they learn a lot about how not to get into trouble with respect to their credit going forward.

THE VERY ESSENCE OF CHRISTMAS0 comments Posted at 23:37
Bob Cratchit groaned loudly, loudly enough to be heard over the buzz of the counting house computers. "But Mr Scrooge, it's just not fair! You do this to us every Christmas. We just want to go home and be with our families!
That night, as he enjoyed a televised carol service, Ebenezer couldn't help feeling sorry for his trusty staff. Getting them into the festive spirit was going to be a real problem and no mistake, he told himself, but he was determined not to be beaten. He was about to ring Bob and invite him over for a Yuletide drink, when the TV picture unexpectedly vanished – replaced by a snowstorm of interference.
After several drinks, including that one with the whiskey and cream, Ebenezer convinced himself that he'd been the victim of one of Bob Cratchit's famous practical jokes – like the exploding toilet seat in the executive loo during last year's wages dispute.
"LET ME get this straight," Ebenezer said after the apparitions had spent half an hour explaining things to him, "you're here to make me despise Christmas?"
"And that still doesn't include socks, hankies, individually packaged Olde Worlde English Marmalades or..." The phantom pointed sadly to his jumper and after shave bottles, "the old favourites."
Early next morning, Ebenezer leapt out of bed and phoned his secretary in a panic. Glenda sounded surprised: "A flight? Today? But where?"

Bernhard Kohl banned for two years
Austrian drug cheat says suspension is "disappointing"
Bernhard Kohl, who last month admitted to using drugs in the Tour de France where he finished third, has been banned from cycling for two years.
The suspension was handed down by the disciplinary commission of
Kohl tested positive in retroactive controls carried out by
The Austrian, who as well as making the podium finished this year's Tour de France as best climber, confessed to taking the drug 48 hours after the test results were announced and was sacked from his Belgian team Silence.
Kohl can still appeal the suspension with the independent arbitrary commission in Austria and the international Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The rider, who described his suspension Monday as "disappointing," said he would wait to receive written confirmation of the sentence before deciding whether to appeal.

YUP, I can so see it! and in his own words about his staffers 'Fighting Over Who Loves Me The Most'
The Republican overlords have WON!
1. More and more Americans will be put to work as paid wage slave laborers completely at the mercy of their corporate overlords – overtime, work safety laws – what is dat?.
2. Corporations are now legal citizens who can sue governments if they oppose their actions. Unbelievable!
They, NOT YOU are going to get a cut tax rates! As Trump said at Key Largo ""YOU ALL JUST GOT A LOT RICHER."
3.Throw in the dismemberment of National Monuments and Parks and parceling the body parts to coal and uranium mining interests. YUP. – full steam ahead for corporations polluting our air and our water. Meanwhile UP the costs to enter these degraded parks. Single parents, widows and orphans, may you weep.
Perhaps the Orange Wig's removal of Climate Change threats could be excused by his low IQ, but no more. Now we see that he has conspired with his fellow Russian plutocrats and rich buddy Putin to wreck the planet while he enjoys a cigar, plays a round of golf, and laughs at the voters who elected him.
Impeachment? Well with this tax bill and other actions directed to our environment and national parks, it may be too late.
Viewing their new golf course in Molvania.
The earth beneath our feet is ever preserved by hard tilling and the investiture of sweat and labor towards later and greater rewards, the investment towards a future that our children will be filling long after we're gone.
Forgotten by the ruling oligarchs, mafias and plutocrat banksters and corpsters is that this land, this nation belongs to its children, forwarded on loan and then only if, we as stewards are concerned enough to pass it on in the same health and beauty as it has been lent to us.
It saddens me that so many old things have disappeared so entirely. The ability to enjoy night skies, clean air …. the quick tramp to the creek or river with the worms and fishing rod, beaches that are clean and not befouled. National parks and monuments that used to be free are now limited to tolls and every increasing fees and access times are restricted.
I am near speechless in bewilderment as to what is happening to our world. The bastards have won
and we've all helped them

Start With The Right Foundation.
Just like a building, the first step in almost any hair styling endeavor is to get a good foundation to start from. After washing and drying, the first tool you will need is a good, trustworthy flat iron. Flattening the hair allows for maneuverability and versatility when styling your locks. But with all the choices out there, which flat iron is best for your hair? We give a rundown of the best flat irons for any type of hair you have.
Different Flat Irons For Different Jobs.
Any time you go to use heat on your hair, it is important to remember a few things about the differences in how
different tools work. There are three main styles of heating plates in hair tools: glass, ceramic, and metal. These three kinds of heating plates are often the first sign of the quality of the product. Lower quality hair tools will use glass heating plates because they are cheaper to make, however, they are usually harsher on your hair because the heated glass doesn't heat evenly and doesn't hold the heat very well. This means that the flat iron uses more energy to reheat itself over and over again. Glass can also damage hair by producing too much heat. It's best to look for a flat iron that uses ceramic or titanium. These materials heat evenly and allow for better transfer of heat to your hair in a safer, less damaging way.
Hair Type Matters When Choosing Your Next Flat Iron.
Depending on your hair type, you will want to look for different kinds of flat irons with different features. The easiest hair to use a flat iron on is straight hair. Even if you have straight hair, a flat iron should be used before you begin styling to ensure a nice, even start to your do. If you have thicker hair, it can probably withstand more heat. If you have thin hair, you need to be careful. Too much heat on thin hair can easily damage it. For straight, thin hair, look for a flat iron with adjustable heat like the Infiniti Pro 1-inch by Conair. This flat iron has ceramic plates which means it warms up more evenly and the adjustable heat settings let you experiment with how much heat your hair can handle. It's best to start low and work your way up. Just go hot enough to get the desired results. Another benefit is that the plates are treated with tourmaline. Tourmaline produces ions that make water molecules break down into smaller sizes which allow your hair to absorb the water better. This helps keep your hair hydrated and keeps fly aways and static cling to a minimum.
For thick hair, you will likely be able to go to a hotter setting. The BaByliss Pro Non Titanium is the best flat iron for thick hair because it has titanium plates which are 1 ¾ ", which means that it is lighter weight than other flat irons and can straighten bigger pieces of hair. This makes straightening your hair faster and easier on your arms. It has adjustable heat settings to go as hot as 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which should be hot enough for even the thickest hair. Although a little on the pricey side, professional level tools are well worth the money. They last a lot longer than the lower quality products, and they better made. This means that little
Curly hair is a different beast than straight hair. Curly hair has natural bounce and twist to it making it harder to straighten. Because curly hair can take longer to straighten, look for a flat iron with titanium heating plates. The best flat iron for curly hair is the Paul Mitchell Protools Express Ion smooth + Flat Iron. Paul Mitchell is a favorite brand of hair stylists and is known to be one of the top hair tools on the market. The ceramic plates heat evenly and are treated to produce negative ions to fight frizz and ensure that your hair stays better moisturized. This flat iron heats up to 410 degrees in only 60 seconds and has a heat recovery time of only 5 seconds, making it easy to work on large amounts of hair at a time.
Bio Ionic makes professional grade hair tools of all kinds. The Bio Ionic Ombre Iron is the best flat iron for thick, curly hair. Bio Ionic uses similar negative ion producing technology found in other hair tools; the plates on the Ombre irons are treated to produce negative ions that break water molecules down to absorb into each strand of hair. Getting the plates to the needed temperature quickly is great because while straightening your hair, your iron is losing that heat to your hair. So, the faster it recovers to the temperature it needs, the faster you can finish your hair style. The Bio Ionic Ombre irons heat up to 450 degrees and have a convenient digital display to show what temperature they are at. These irons are great for smoothing hair, waving hair, and are versatile enough to use for any styling needs. Bio ionic is also the gold standard when it comes to dryers and styling wands. Their professional line of hair tools it well worth the cost, as they last much longer and many of their products come with a warranty.
Usually the curliest, thickest hair on just about anyone, black hair can take some real time to style and effort to style. Depending on what style you are going for, you will likely have to straighten your hair to achieve the look you want.

Comte de Gabalis [1913], at sacred-texts.com
GG"The most ancient manner of writing was that of representing things by persons, and by words, by which was understood something altogether different from what was expressed. In such manner, indeed, that nothing was literally true just as it was written, but under these narratives something allegorical was understood. Thus they set forth the various affections under the forms of gods and goddesses, to which the heathen nations afterwards instituted Divine worship; which may be known to every scholar, since such ancient books are still extant. This method of writing they derived from the most ancient people, who lived before the flood, and who represented to themselves things heavenly and Divine, by such as are visible on the earth and in the world, and thus filled their minds and souls with joyous and delightful perceptions. The
p. 283
most ancient people as they had communication with spirits and angels, had no other speech than this, which was full of representatives, and in every expression of which there was a Spiritual sense. . . . Hence it may appear how far man afterwards removed himself from heaven: when, at this day, he does not even know that there is in the Word anything else than what appears in the letter, not even that there is a spiritual sense; and whatever is mentioned beyond the sense of the letter is called mystical, and rejected on that account. Hence also it is that communication with heaven is at this day intercepted, insomuch that few believe there is any heaven, and, what is surprising, much fewer amongst the learned and erudite than amongst the simple." ARCANA COELESTIA, TRANSLATION OF COUNTESS OF CAITHNESS IN "THE MYSTERY OF THE AGES," PAGES 488-9.
Of "these marvellous men filled with strength" was Samson. Concerning his mother, the wife or Manoah, of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, we read the following in the Book of Judges, xiii, verses 6, 7, and 24. "Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name: But he said to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no
p. 284
wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death. " And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson "--which is to say " Serving like the Sun."

VisagiSmile is a web-based dental software for personalized smile design. The product aims to assist dentists in the creation of harmonious teeth configuration according to petient's facial shape and personality. The software is based on innovative scientific theory validated in over 800 clinical cases over the last eight years. Behind the theory stands an international team of experts in aesthetic dentistry, including the president of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry.
The innovative features of VisagiSMile have been awarded in a number of competitions and scientific works such as:

• "Technology Innovation of the Year" – Annual Awards of B2B MEDIA, 2016

• Nomination for "Innovative Project" – "Bulgarian Web Awards" contest, Bulgarian Web Association, 2015
VisagiSmile | Esthetic dental medicine | Web Applications | 2015
Responsiv design
The dentist starts working on the clinical case by shooting a photo of the patient's face and by calibrating it.
On the calibrated image, the dentist marks the so called facial map that defines the facial features. VisagiSMile can also automatically find the facial map using a face recognition algorithm. Based on the map, VisagiSMile is able to automatically determine the type of person's face: strong, dynamic, delicate or calm. The software algorithm is improving itselft when adding new clinical cases.
The patient is given a short psychological test which helps VisagiSMile determine his or her temperament. The patient can choose shape, color and texture of the teeth, and other design parameters of their smile.
Based on the face shape, temperament and individual preferences of the patient, VisagiSMile creates and displays corresponding harmonious design of a teeth configuration. The dentist adapts the design on a photograph of the patient's teeth and the parameters of each tooth can be set individually. The patient sees how their smile will look like after the treatment. The drawing created by VisagiSMile is sent to a dental laboratory for making an aesthetic product.
The digital agency Web Motion Ltd. has developed the innovative dental software Visagismile.com with professionalism, dedication and exceptional responsiveness. Their highly qualified team created a web application for digital smile design that soon after its launch won numerous innovation awards and attracted customers worldwide.

Love your blog name by the way, my daughter's middle name is Brooke :-)

I'm not sure yet if i like this polish. It depends on if it is closer to the grey color or the brown color

Love your kitty dish!! :D
I like those colors, they are so pretty! But you are right, they are hard to describe and look different depending on the light, it happens with the ones I have too!

love the grey! It's a great colour to wear in anticipation for fall.

You're so lucky to have cooler weather. It's still in the 90's here in South Texas,where I live. However, a couple more weeks should bring much cooler temperatures. I just love fall!
It's interesting that this polish looks so different in a variety of light.Most swatches I've seen, it has a somewhat greenish hue. I can't wait to get my collection to see what it really looks like.

Love this color. It looks great on you. I live in Ohio and yes it is feeling like fall here too.

It's always a happy place for me to visit. Thank you.

I attended this conference in October last year because I was interested in one of the keynote speakers' presentation about Jibe (Pathfinder) and because I was amazed by how Finland, a country that has consistently come at the top for the international rankings for education systems, was active in Second Life.
The conference was worthwhile. I just knew that virtual world such as Second Life had been used in OEDC Innovative Learning Environment Project by a school in Finland. http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/32/23/49750510.pdf
I am sure I don't want to miss any of Edufinland's activities in Second Life in the future. http://edufinland.fi/

Swimsuits for flat chests are intended for many flat-chested girls and women that worried to go swimming, or perhaps will not swim, since once they wear a swimsuit, all could notice their chest. Is there anything you can do if you face this problem?
Occasionally a female's chests do not acquire much during puberty, but she stays "flat-chested"— without any or much palpable breast tissue. Level-chested girls do have a breast that raised or appears swollen, but also for some cause, the breasts do not develop in dimensions in any way. Flat- chested girls do get hair and start menstruating naturally frequently as well as their chests does have milk glands — it truly is that the chests do not develop in size like most women.
Dazzling Dunes, clean mud plus a cool wind –there is nothing like getting into swimsuit time wearing a fresh swimsuit that is cute. Whether you are at the beach, the share or just pretending you are there, having right swimwear will help you feel fantastic and look! Submit your summertime-ready closet with all the bikinis, cover-ups swimsuits, and swimwear you are seeking!
Of course, you can frolic in the water and just dismiss what others may feel. Odds are, not everybody gives consideration or recognize you that closely anyway. However, if this can be a major suffering for you, there's anything you could get that can help conceal the chest that is smooth? One-piece bikinis, swimsuits, tankinis, bandeaus, halter and even more make up merely a fraction of the many unique swimwear models open to Level Boxes ladies.
You will get swimsuits for flat chests with an combined bra and padding. Try tanking surfaces that are padded. Those both are better than bikinis. However, prevent necklines. Another chance is always to sew pockets that are small to a current bikini, after which place gel positions in these pockets.

The webcomics site ShiftyLook continues its mission of transforming retro (i.e., old) video games into comics with the launch of its latest webcomic Wagan Land.
Written by Matt Moylan, who also scripted Bravoman, and illustrated by Rob Porter, the comic is based on a classic Namco platform game series of the same name that was released in Japan between 1989 and 1994; this comic marks the debut of the property outside Japan.
Both the comic and the game feature a mechanical dinosaur named Wagan, who is trying to thwart a mad scientist who is threatening his homeland. (Apparently this requires a lot of jumping from platform to platform.) Check out some art samples, plus a vintage Wagand Land ad, below.

You may have seen Kim Nelson on ABC's Shark Tank or in the last issue of American Lifestyle magazine. Her business, Daisy Cakes by Kim Nelson, is taking off and for good reason. Her handmade cakes stem from old, southern family recipes. We couldn't wait for our cakes to arrive, so we tried our hand at making them for ourselves and recommend that you do the same!
If you missed Kim's recipes in Issue 72 of American Lifestyle, you can find a few of her best recipes on our Facebook page.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Then slice the peaches into little bite-size chunks. You will need a total of 3 cups.
- When the oven is ready, spread 1 cup of pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast for 5 minutes or until the pecans become aromatic. Remove from the oven, and chop them into tiny pieces. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, combine 1½ cups of canola oil, 2 cups of sugar, 3 eggs, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla in a medium bowl. Then whisk in the 3 cups of self-rising flour, and stir until the batter becomes very stiff.
- To make sure the end results are perfect and come out of the pan easily, you will want to grease and flour your 10-cup Bundt pan.
- The last step to creating the batter is folding in the peaches and pecans. Mix well for even distribution.
- Pour the batter into the prepped pan, and put it into the warmed oven. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with just a few crumbs.
- Allow the cake time to cool in the pan—for about 15 minutes or so. This allows the cake to set up more so that it doesn't crumble when you turn the cake over onto the cake plate.
- Garnish the pound cake with a generous dash of confectioners' sugar, and devour! This recipe will yield 16 to 20 servings.
Try your hand at this recipe, and let us know what you think! Share your photos on Facebook and Instagram using the hashtag #ALMbites.
This featured recipe has been adapted from the cookbook Daisy Cakes by Kim Daisy (Lydia Inglett Publishing/Starbooks.biz). For more delicious treats, pick up your own copy of Daisy Cakes online.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Nature Generation, Arlington, VA, USA
I have volunteered with The Nature Generation (formerly Newton Marasco Foundation) for the last 7 years, helping to organize vital fundraising events. This is an extremely well run organization with a deep volunteer pool that consists of the best and brightest in the DC and surrounding areas. As a Project Manager by trade, I appreciate the planning that goes into each event to ensure that volunteers are well informed about what is expected of them and know the schedule well in advance of the event. I truly enjoy every opportunity that I get to volunteer at The Nature Generation events.

Review for The Nature Generation, Arlington, VA, USA
I have been volunteering with the Greater Washington Eco-Golf Classic and Charity Auction presented by the Newton Marasco Foundation (NMF) for the past 5 years. This is a fantastic event that brings together educators, Federal government employees, and representatives from some of the biggest environmental, energy, and IT consulting firms in the DC area. I can say that this is one of the best run, well-organized fundraisers that I have been a part of. Last year, the Classic made over $100,000 net...which helped fund environmental education programs for youth in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. I am proud to be a board member and volunteer for this wonderful non-profit organization.

I have also volunteered with the NMF EnGauge It program, where I educated patrons of a local shopping mall about the importance of proper tire inflation and the positive effects it can have on the environment and the wallet. Through this event, I passed out free tire gauges (donated by NMF partner UPS) and educational literature. It was really rewarding to have the look of understanding come across people's faces while I was talking with them.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Every non-profit relies on volunteer efforts...this is how they survive and thrive. NMF should encourage their staff to volunteer at most of their events and help with the planning of the largest events (i.e, the Greater Washignton Eco-Golf Classic). This would keep the staff engauged in the event and take some of the pressure off the volunteers planning the event.

Oslo to Portland: Reversing the Process of Defamiliarization
31 July 2012
The Russian formalist literary critic Viktor Shklovsky introduced the term "defamliarization" to indicate that function of literature and art which is to make the familiar strange in order to see that which is most common in a new light. It is not only art that serves this function. Science often serves in the capacity of defamiliarization and forces us to see familiar aspects of the world in new ways. Travel may be considered a personal form of defamiliarization. I touched on this earlier in Being the Other when I wrote:
"…the ignorant traveler bumbles through the business of ordinary life in a foreign country, though the business of ordinary life feels quite extraordinary. The extraordinariness of the everyday is another familiar feature of travel, and this can be expressed in ways that are both illuminating and embarrassing."
If travel is a form of defamiliarization, then returning from travel constitutes a kind of refamiliarization. I often thought of this when returning from my earlier travels, when I would be away for a month at a time, as it always felt difficult to resume the mundane details of mundane life; even after the most spartan and ascetic travel — and if I described my early travel to you, I think you would agree that it was pretty spartan — one does not easily fit back into one's life at home. Thus travel is not only a defamiliarization of the world, it is also a defamiliarization of oneself.
If that weren't enough, travel also involves a process of defamiliarization with one's own expectations for travel. A bus stop is not an auspicious place to be dropped off in a new and unfamiliar country, but it is likely that the traveler will find himself or herself unceremoniously dropped off at a bus stop or staggering out of train station and wondering what comes next. The important thing here is that this is precisely what is new: one doesn't know what comes next.
The expectations that a new traveler has for a distant land — derived from a lifetime of travel posters, glossy brochures, full color magazine spreads, films of the exotic unknown, and travel memoirs both witty and insightful — are likely to be disappointed by the same infrastructure of industrialized civilization that makes international travel quick, convenient, affordable, and accessible. The disruption to one's schedule by travel is reduced to a day of sitting on an airplane and being shuttled between various lines and waiting rooms and officials examining papers.
Upon arrival at one's destination, one travels through the outlying industrial development that inevitably surround airports, and after this one is treated to a view of the extensive suburbs that have swelled all the cities of the industrial age. It may not be until the next day, when one emerges from one's hotel after a night recovering from the previous day's travel, that one comes to the historic center of an ancient city and finally begins to see the objects of touristic pilgrimage, which by now seem rather small and insignificant when surrounded by a metropolis that has but little relationship to one's tourist intentions. The only place that I can recall that was immediately striking upon stepping out of the train station was Venice, and that was in 1989 — by now its character may well have changed.
The refamiliarization of returning home involves this same process in reverse order: one detaches and disentangles oneself from the landscape and the people and the way of life to which one has quickly become accustomed, and indeed even fond of — itself a painful process, as it often feels like a betrayal of oneself to leave that which one has sought and finally found, so that departure feels like exile rather than being the opposite of exile — and one passes by degrees back into the infrastructure of industrialized civilization, back from the countryside, into the center of a capital city, then through its suburbs and its outlying industrial districts until one at last arrives at the forlorn landscape of an airport, with its steel and glass buildings and its asphalt tarmac… the very picture of bleakness and desolation, if ever there was an uninviting spectacle welcome one on one's journey "home" (which we must now put in scare quotes because the prospect of return no longer feels like home).
The airport, a waystation for touristic pilgrims, has all the anonymity and neutrality one would expect from a transient space not intended as a place for any kind of familiarity at all, but rather a place to make the transition from the familiar to the unfamiliar, or from the unfamiliar back to the familiar.
If the airport were not already enough of a shock, then there is the abrupt re-insertion into the matrix of ordinary life and work, the telephone ringing, errands to run, obligations to meet, and a life to be lived that no longer feels like one's own.
Which is the more profoundly jarring and disturbing experience — defamiliarization or refamiliarization?

Skin Care is an important part of staying young and healthy. However, very few of us actually take the time to think about our clothing choices when out in the sun. During the warm summer months, it's especially important to find stylish ways to avoid harsh sun rays without compromising your sense of style. We understand that you can't walk around in a turtleneck. However, there are ways in which you can protect your skin and feel comfortable at the same time.
Skin Care Tips
Keep the following sun protection tips in mind when shopping for your summer wardrobe for best skin care:
Wear a Floppy Hat
There's nothing more Grace Kelly-like than a floppy hat, so why not be timeless and add this particular item to your wardrobe this summer? Not only will you protect your face and shoulders from the harsh sun, you'll also remain stylish whilst doing it. With so many styles and colors to choose from, you're bound to find the exact floppy hat that makes your heart feel content and matches your skin tone. Add a pair of black sunnies and you're all set!
Add a Baseball Cap
Then again, there's always the old age baseball cap to keep you protected and sporty at the same time. If floppy hats aren't your thing, don't worry. Baseball caps have a tendency to make any face shape look amazing. Tie your hair up in a ponytail, wear your favorite shade of lip color, and you're ready to enjoy a fun day outdoors.
Opt for Stylish Sunnies
When it comes to protecting your eyes from harsh sun rays, wearing sunglasses is a must. It's important to remember that there are certain styles which match certain face shapes. Always ensure that your eyebrows are visible and that the frame suits your cheekbones. There's nothing worse than looking like an insect when your eyebrows are hidden behind your sunnies.
Try a Blooming Kimono
Kimonos bought from online boutiques are easy to wear. It flatters on any body shape and can match your personality based on the design and colors you choose.
With various styles to choose from, you'll be able to find the perfect kimono to wear over your bikini or shorts. It will give you a breathable fashion statement option for warm summer days. You can shop for blooming kimono on any women's clothing boutiques online.
Time for a Cape?
We all know that women wear invisible capes in order to do the things we need to get done on a daily basis. However, there is now the option to include an actual cape to your summer wardrobe for best skin care.
Although the black print cape may be a little bit thicker than a kimono. It's important to remember that the weather can turn quite drastically depending on where you're from – going from a sunny day to overcast. Thus, even on overcast days, it's important to protect your shoulders from harsh sun rays.
Introducing the Cover Up
Wearing a bikini but feel the need to cover up a little bit more compared to wearing a kimono? Our cover ups available on Lotus Boutique are available in various styles and colors in order to match your preference.
They will keep you protected from the sun and stylish with skin care at the same time. No need to worry about harsh sun rays when you're able to add a little bit more coverage with a cover up.
How about a Breathable Hoodie?
Alternatively, some of us do enjoy working out on warm summer days, normally in the outdoors in order to get some fresh air. However, regardless of where you go, you'll need to protect yourself from harsh sun rays. In which case, it's a great option to wear a breathable mesh Woodie which allows you to feel the breeze as you're working out. It also protects your shoulders from getting sun burnt for best skin care.
At Lotus Online Boutique, we care about the well-being of our customer as well as their fashion choices. Whilst looking fabulous, it's important to find clothing options which will provide skin care from harsh sun rays during the warm summer months.
The last thing you want is looking stylish but feeling horrible after a long day outdoors. Remember, although beauty does hurt at times, it should never take preference over your health.
