Cocktails, dressing up, haemorrhaging from your mouth on the dance floor … why can't every Friday be like this? Come to think of it, I think it is in certain establishments. The best Halloween, nay the best NIGHT, for ages. Outfit courtesy Primarni and kitchen knives, make up courtesy Paul Mayers and the make up of make up artists purchased at Spar. Cheap and chilling. The highlight was my very own lobotomy scar, pictured. Spookily real, in fact two punters in Via Fossa thought it was real and flinched when I made them stroke it. Mwahahaha. The Zombie Pride party at Legends was so much fun, great music, strip show and the swapping of undead beauty tips ('But black lips make my teeth look yellow!' 'Just bloody them up then!') … Amaze.
Last weekend I went to London for the first time in, God, three years? My little sis Clare is living in Kentish Town and my half-planned idea of a bit of art, bit of theatre, bit of culture went right on the train to Titsville. Instead we went on a bender round Kentish and Camden Towns on the Friday night: Abbey, World's End, Black Cap, Dublin Castle … lager lager lager. We were so drunk in the Dublin Castle we were sitting next to the discarded glass spot at the bar and drinking other people's skanky half-finished pints without even realising. We'll probably all catch gingivitis and it'll serve us right. Also met lovely Kev, an internet friend who it turns out is actually a real person, and really lovely to boot.
Saturday I managed to buy FOUR items of clothing. FOUR! This would normally represent a successful year of clothes shopping for me, never mind a single day. Very chuffed indeed so got dressed up on the Saturday night and me and Clare ate Japanese food by the river then ran across the bridge in the pouring rain and howling wind with a three quid inside-out umbrella, screaming. Halfway across we simply gave up, tossed a quid to the guy playing steel drums there and danced with the fuzzy lights of London at our feet.
Passion fruit cocktails at Lab, go-go boys at Village Soho then utterly trashed at Trash Palace where Boogaloo Stu presided over an hysterical multiple choice celebrity question cake-eating competition and uttered the immortal line: 'Take your knickers off and eat two cakes'. Stupid queue at Ghetto so last Southern Comforts for the road in 12 Bar then a series of wobbly night buses and falafels home to NW5. Such fun.
Miserable trip home in the rain and traffic next day, punctuated by an evil meal at Burger King where I had a bean burger and fries and felt riddled with shame even as the carbo-high kicked in. Home to a weirdly dry Manchester and a forlorn feeling in the flat. As ever after a trip to London I return full of excitement and what-ifs . . . ? What if I moved there? What if I hated it? What if I missed everyone too much? What if I can never ever buy my own place? What if I go for just a year? What if there's no job for me in Manchester when I come back? What if I grow a backbone and just DO IT? Answers on a postcard please …

I found this painting today at a Savers thrift store for $15. The painting is oil on board and measures 27″ x 19″. The painting is signed ATKYNS, but the artist's name is on the back as Lee Atkyns. The painting isn't dated that I see. It had to be painted before 1968. He was also known as Willie Lee Atkyns Jr. Atkyns was born in 1913, in Washington, D.C. and passed away in 1987, in Duncansville, PA. He had his debut as an artist in 1941 in New York. In 1945 he started teaching at a school he established in Washington, DC. He won many awards, and had his artwork displayed in museums, galleries and public buildings. The painting came in a what looks like a pretty old frame.
This painting was apparently exhibited at the Academy Gallery at 102 East Franklin St, Richmond VA, on April 9th (year unknown). Atkyns lists his address as 4712 Wisconsin Ave, Washington D.C.. So it had to have been painted prior to 1968 when he moved to Puzzletown, PA.
Also written on the bottom back of the frame is "Lull Before The Storm", but I think this may have been from a previous painting.
I saw this in the thrift store last Friday priced at $15. But I knew that if I waited till Monday, I could get it for 25% off, IF it was still that. I was at the store Monday morning when they opened and luckily, it was still there. So I got it for $11.25. This is a ceramic tile from the factory of Harris G Strong. The tile is about 6″ X 6″ and came matted and framed. It's not visibly signed, but there is a sticker on the back for his factory "STRONG – Harris G. Strong Incorporated. Bar Harbor Rd., Ellsworth, Maine 04605." On the back is written "HS 134." This is the third Harris G. Strong piece i have bought. the second tile. Not sure if this tile was actually created by Strong himself. It's not one of the early pieces.
I found this painting at a Goodwill for $12. The painting is signed MLA 08. The artist's full name is written on the back as Marie L. Allen. It is was probably done in 2008. It's done in watercolor, but it looks like it possibly might have been touched up with acrylic paint. Not sure what kind of flowers those are in the vase. Maybe lilies of some sort. The fruit in the bowl look like pears. Then there is the bottle and the tea pot. Fairly common still life items. The painting measures 22″ x 27″. It also came matted and framed, though the mat could probably be replaced.

With many large law firms in growth mode, we take a look at some of the reasons that many partners choose to leave their firms — and how the right move can benefit your career.
Minimal Book and No Time to Build It. This is a common problem for service partners who spend the majority of their billable hours servicing other partners' matters. A prime example of this is the partner, often highly regarded, who is practicing directly under the heavy thumb of a practice group leader. He is so highly regarded that the practice group leader, as well as other rainmakers in his group, look to him to service their books while they continue to market to their prospective clients. Unfortunately, sometimes this service partner wakes up ten years later with excellent client servicing skills, but little or no book of business to speak of.
Partners who find themselves in this situation should not be discouraged, however. If the service partner is not satisfied simply servicing someone else's book, then he has only one option – to move to a firm which will allow him the opportunity to build a book. Assuming a partner is coming from a prestigious firm, has the business contacts to effectively build his book, has a well defined and creative business plan, and has excellent client development skills, he/she is an excellent prospect for a firm who is seeking out highly motivated partners interested in starting and/or growing a practice group. This move may require a partner to make some adjustments in compensation, benefits, etc. in the short-term, but partners who find themselves in this situation must be willing to exchange the short-term loss for the long-term benefit of gaining a higher level of autonomy and security in their practice.
Mergers and Firm Dissolutions. Mergers are business transactions that can bring about enormous profitability but can also sometimes create great cultural stresses. In this marketplace of constant change through spin-offs, acquisitions and dissolutions, partners need to be ready and able to immediately transition their clients. Some partners may find themselves faced with the prospect of having their practice excluded from a merger transaction altogether because of conflicts. Others may be faced with the dissolution of their firms and the resulting need to aggressively pursue firms which make sense for their clients long-term.
Although both of these circumstances can seem somewhat disconcerting for partners, particularly for those who have been with their firm for many years, we have found that these partners are often the most successful in transitioning their business to a new firm. In particular, partners servicing attractive clients, some of which may be institutional, have much to offer a prospective firm. These partners are often pleasantly surprised by opportunities to start and/or build practices for other firms with strategic plans for growth. Some of these partners have even been afforded the unique opportunity to start a new office for a firm. Partners faced with this potential obstacle should be greatly encouraged by this marketplace of opportunities and may find themselves pleasantly surprised by the alternative options available to them.
Billing Rates Are Too Low. This is a common obstacle for partners who are seeking to transition from smaller or mid-size firms to larger national or international practices and can often compel partners to remain at their firm, seemingly trapped by the inability to move their practice. Some partners are more fortunate and are faced with only a portion of their book involving clients which may have lower billing rate arrangements. In these cases, partners who are willing in the short-term to leave behind work that does not fit in with the prospective targeted firm's overall practice may reap the benefits of such a strategic decision long-term.
Partners whose billing rates are too low should not feel there is no way out. Assuming everything else is a good fit, firms are generally receptive to working with partners to come up with creative solutions to gradually move their clients' rates over time to levels more in line with the target firm's billing rate structure. Client loyalty and confidence is, of course, essential in this type of effort. Generally we have found that partners who have had long-term relationships with their clients do not have a problem convincing them to gradually move to higher rate structures. This is largely because of the excellent representation the client has received over a period of years, but may also be a result of the fact that the partner may have a better platform from which to service his clients once he has moved to the target firm. Thus, clients have been very receptive overall to making these changes and we have seen a number of partners transition to larger, more sophisticated practices and in some cases more than double their books because of the broader platform they realize in "upgrading" to a larger firm.
Billing Rates Are Too High—Turning Away Business at Current Firm. The converse of rates being too low – rates being too high – can also appear to some partners to be an issue when attempting to transition their book of business to another firm. A prime example of this type of situation is the partner practicing at a major firm with a minimal book who has served primarily as a service partner for other rainmakers in his current firm. This partner may have had an opportunity to build a small book, but because he has primarily been servicing other partners' business, his book is minimal and he believes he is, as a result, precluded from making a move. Coupled with the feeling that he is unable to move, this partner may also find that he is unable to get new business from cross-selling within his firm because he is competing with many other service partners with whom he practices. The partner may also be forced to turn down business he would otherwise be able to bring in and service himself because the rates for these clients are too low for the rate structure at his current firm.
Partners in this situation will soon find that an alternative firm size and billing structure may be essential to building their book and gaining the independence and autonomy in their practice they so desire. We have found that there are firms which provide these types of partners the opportunities they are looking for. For example, there are a number of "spin-off" firms which are comprised of partners who have left large practice looking for an alternative environment within which to practice. These firms offer great opportunities for partners with smaller books to continue to practice at a high level of sophistication, bring in work at slightly lower billing rates than might otherwise be found at larger firms, and begin accepting the work they for so long had to turn away.
Client Conflicts Prevent Building Book. This is a serious issue which can occur for partners that lateral to a firm with little knowledge about the existing client base and the primary clients or types of projects the firm most often services. A firm that might in all other respects look very attractive, can become a partner's worst nightmare, precluding the partner from bringing in new business and building his/her book. We have seen partners in these types of situations literally be faced with turning away hundreds of thousands of dollars in new business because their current firm is involved in so many cases that present conflicts. If you are a partner transitioning to a new firm, your recruiter's thorough due diligence regarding the firm's existing client base and its effect on your ability to bring in new business and continue to build your book is absolutely key to making your transition smooth and successful.
Current Firm's Strategic Plan No Longer Supports Practice Group. With the focus on strategic planning and expansion, many firms have changed courses and have had to make tough decisions about practice groups they will no longer support over the long-term. Some partners may find themselves pursuing another firm whose practice and long-term strategic plan is more fitting for their practice. This does not present a huge dilemma for a partner with a sizable book whose practice area could be attractive to other firms in the marketplace. However, it can present a serious dilemma for a partner whose book is marginal and whose practice area may not be one that most firms in the marketplace are expanding. Here, a partner's ability to convince a prospective firm that his clients and practice fit in with the firm's long-term plan for growth is essential. The partner must rely on his/her recruiter's ability to inform the partner about the prospective firm's strategic plan for growth and expansion and its current client base and practice group distribution, all essential to the partner's ability to understand how his practice could add value to the firm. It is this added value which will enable the partner to more effectively move his book.
Personal Historical Data. Though still operating as historical partnerships, many firms are moving toward more of a traditional business model, often overseen by COO's and CFO's who may or may not be attorneys but who in most cases are numbers-driven and continually monitor firms' viability and profitability. A partner's three-year historical record, including billable hours, billing rates, and client billings, is the minimum information law firms will assess during their due diligence to determine whether a partner may be a valuable addition to their firm. This three-year history is vital to a partner's attractiveness to a prospective firm and presents a model for what the prospective firm can look forward to in terms of the partner's ability to contribute to the firm's bottom line. Partners must continually focus on and monitor their personal data and be cognizant of the affect the strength of their historical data, or lack of strength of their historical data, could have on their ability to effectively transition to a new firm.
Retirement Plans, Capital Contributions, Benefits, Tax Considerations. Many law firms provide fairly sophisticated Defined Benefit Plans for their partners that require significant contributions over a period of time and offer large long-term payoffs. These plans often motivate partners to remain on board at firms they would have otherwise departed many years prior. Partners should not feel "trapped" because of benefit plans at their current firm. Many firms are open to working with partners to create compensation plans which take into account a partner's Defined Benefit Plan structure at their current firm. Likewise, partners who have the option of joining firms as equity partners are often faced with large capital contributions and potential significant changes to their benefit packages or serious tax consequences in the year in which they move. These are all factors partners must weigh in their overall assessment of whether a particular firm is a good fit, but partners must be flexible and open to discussing creative solutions to these factors.
These are but a few of a vast array of issues partners may encounter when making a lateral move to a new law firm. At BCG, we have the privilege to work with partners nationwide in every conceivable practice group, all of whom have important objectives and who face a variety of issues relating to moving their practices to new firms. It is our pleasure to work with these partners in successfully transitioning them to new firms where they can realize their long-term career objectives.

I am so proud! I shall be rubbing page shoulders with so many illustrious names that I could end up as fizzy as the glass on the left. I sent off the story over a year ago now. It's quite long - nearly five thousand words but I remember writing it at some speed. Then there was the many months of waiting to hear and all the time trying not to think about it.
When I heard I'd been successful, I re-read it and couldn't help feeling deliciously pleased with myself.
I'll let you know when it is published. There may be pictures, even a new frock - what?Another new frock? We'll see. It's a bit tricky to have a book signing for an ebook, but I'll think of something. In the meantime...cheers!

How many times have you been asked this, "Oh, so you are pursuing BA? But do you know that there's not much scope in it?" with a frowning expression? Well, arts students know that feeling. What are the career options available after 12th in arts stream? Will arts students ever be able to compete with science and commerce students? Opting for a career in arts stream seems like a back up option for majority of the students. However, don't go by hearsay, because there is a plethora of career options available out there for you. If you are planning to pursue BA, remember, every year maximum number of students strive to take admission in Delhi University (DU) and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) only to pursue a degree in arts irrespective of the cut off marks.
Here are some options which interest you.
Writing: If you have a flair for writing, after BA you can become a freelance writer, start your own blog or publish a book. It completely depends on you. Writing is a part of communication. You can convey your feelings through words. You can work in press media as well. You can be a reporter. One advantage of being a writer is that you can work from home whenever you are free. There is not many deadlines in freelancing.
Civil Services : To get into civil services, certain examinations are to be given.. These examinations are considered to be one of the most toughest in our country. IAS/IPS/IFS are some exams to name a few. The competition and craze for these exams is very high with every year many student registrar and attempt it. The exam is surely difficult to crack, but not impossible.
MBA: Opting for Master of Business Administration (MBA) can assure you a good salary job. MBA in marketing, human resources, hospitality, event management, public relations are various branches of the original. MBA programmes ensure consistency and quality education. One can pursue MBA by studying full time or part time. Distance learning is another option. MBA in media such as advertising, journalism and film making, academic careers like research and particularly training can also be a good career choice.
Teacher: Teaching is one of the oldest and most noble professions. A teacher provides good quality of education to his or her students. A teacher can be a good mentor and guide students. Interactive sessions with students and their parents can help a child understand and achieve life goals. One can do M.A, B.Ed and clear NET/SET exams, which is mandatory to become a teacher. If one is interested in higher studies, PhD is always a good option and it will allow you to teach at a university or at national level.
Journalism: Gathering information which is generally included in newspaper, magazines, television and radio is news media. Journalism has become one of the most sought after career choices for youngsters in recent times. Either you can be a press reporter for a news channel or work in some reputed media organization as a correspondent or media personnel. A journalist can do a lot with a pen. Public speaking is one of the most necessary skills required in this field. One can look for a degree in mass communication that connects masses and media.
You'll have a number of good career options once you complete your course. Since there are plethora of choices namely, animation, fashion designing, 3D modeling, cooking among others you can choose arts stream without hesitation if you are interested in it and not for the sake of parents or neighbors. One thing is for sure that, after taking up arts, you will not regret your decision and your life will not be monotonous. You will have the liberty to do whatever you want. You can be creative and you can do any post graduation course. Arts stream has emerged with exciting career options. There is less pressure as it is easy to understand. Also, a wide range of career prospects are available. So the next time somebody asks you why you opted for BA, you should be able to tell them the reason why.

What the hell is a singjay? Good question. A singjay is a reggae musician who combines a "traditional" type of singing with a rhythmic, monotone chanting.Ripton Joseph Hylton, a.k.a. Eek-a-Mouse is one of the first and biggest artist to popularize the style. What's even cooler, according to IMDB, Hylton played Fat Smitty in New Jack City. Sure he hasn't released an original album since 2004's Eek-A-Speeka, but he's slowly building an international audience thanks to incessant touring. On September 26, he'll be making a stop at Culture Room to sing songs about how much he loves week to an adoring crowd of like minded thinkers. Tickets go on sale on August 24 through Ticketmaster. I'll see you there.

The phrase web content refers to material created for or on the World Wide Web. It can refer to individual files made for the web, such as a Flash® video, to text prepared for web viewing with HTML (HyperText Markup Language), or entire pages. A web content editor is a software tool that may provide features that allow users to create, organize, mark up, layout, and post web content, as well as edit it. That is, the term web content editor can refer either to a program in which one simply creates and edits content and exports a file or to a full-blown WCMS (Web Content Management System). A Content Management System is a software program to create and manage website content.
A software program that is billed as a web content editor and that is designed for individual file creation and editing is often an online tool. It may be designed for creating and editing music, screen captures, audio, vector images, PNGs, or Flash®. The features vary with the type of content, so, for example, a music editor may allow the user to create tracks using a variety of instruments, adjust tempo and beats per measure, and control volume. With pitched instruments, samples of distinct pitches may be offered, and the user can solo or mute tracks.
With a web content editor for images, on the other hand, there may be the ability to import an image or to create an image using drawing tools such as shapes, lines, and brushes, with a greater or lesser tool selection being available, depending on the program. Color and pattern selection, too, may be limited or broad. Some programs may have rotate and flip capability.
A web content editor that is a WCMS is likely to feature a number of tools for text creation and editing, tools for text markup in HTML, XHTML (EXtended HTML), or some other markup language, and may also include layout capability for text, images, and — in some, but not all, cases — table capability. A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor may be the main window or an alternate view, sometimes called a 'Preview,' but some web content editors do a very poor job of accurately showing page layout. For text editing, a web content editor of this type will usually include basic tools that are recognized from word processing programs, such as 'Cut,' 'Paste,' 'Indent,' 'Center Text,' 'Justify Text,' 'Bulleted Text,' 'Numbered Text,' and font, format, and style choices, and the software will render these as HTML or another chosen language. Hyperlink insertion, button insertion, frame insertion, and box insertion may also appear.

At a press conference in the United Nations headquarters, she insists that "I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email; there is no classified material. […] I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two." However, starting in 2010, one year into her four years as secretary of state, she began using an iPad as well.
She also reveals that sometime in 2014 she deleted 31,830 emails that were "personal" and "private." She says she will not turn over her personal email server. (Hillaryclinton.com, 7/13/2015) (The Federalist, 3/11/2015) (USA Today, 3/10/2015) She adds that it "probably would have been smarter" to have a government email account as well as a private one.

|Kate Hornsey.
"I have been a part of the senior Australian Rowing Team for a decade and the sport will always be one that I care very deeply for but sadly the time has come for me to retire," Kate said on Friday. "It became a decision for me as to whether I wanted to continue rowing and push for a place in Rio or whether to look to my future beyond rowing. The decision was by no means an easy one but I feel it is the right one for me and my family."
Hornsey won numerous accolades in her time with the Australian Rowing Team, including two gold medals in the 2005 World Rowing Championships, in the Women's Coxless Four and the Women's Eight, a time she describes as still one of her most treasured moments. "I would have to say winning gold in the eight and the four at the 2005 World Rowing Championships was one of my career highlights."
Hornsey said she'd had the time of her life at the 2005 championships and to follow that up with a silver medal in London in 2012 had been something else. "The 2012 season had been a challenging one, but also a highly rewarding one. It was a great season ... and is easily my greatest highlight along with the 2005 World Rowing Championships," she said.
Hornsey represented Australia in two Olympic Games - Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012. She originally rowed out of New Norfolk Rowing Club, where she is now a life member, as well as the Friends' School Boat Club and Mercantile Rowing Club in Melbourne. She offered her gratitude to a number of people for her rowing success, including her family, friends and coaches Cliff Hutton, the late Roger Drummond and Bill Tait who coached her to an Olympic medal.
"I also have to thank the late Sam Le Compte and Tasmanian Institute of Sport for seeing something in me and giving me the opportunity to make it happen. I could not have represented my country without the TIS and of course the Victorian Institute of Sport who welcomed me into their group when I relocated to Melbourne in 2009. Finally, I would like to thank Rowing Australia and all those involved in the Australian Rowing Team over the last decade for their support and especially to all the girls I raced with a thousand times over the years. I could not have made it through the years without the friendship and laughter you all gave me."
Rowing Australia high performance director Chris O'Brien said Kate had represented Australia with distinction and her presence on the team would be missed by coaches and team-mates alike.
Congratulations to Kate on an outstanding career.

The following will take you through my steps of setting up an Ethereum node, then spawning an RPC server to be able to use (primarily) web3.js to communicate with the blockchain. I won't be going into the topic of mining, as I'm not so interested in that and the server provider doesn't support it.
First you need to get a server. I have mine over at DigitalOcean which is a great service and offers great support.
My Ethereum server is a Ubuntu 16.04.2 x64, 2GB RAM, 40GB Disk. It runs very well.
Choose your server build and wait for it to be built. Once it has, use an SSH tool (such as PuTTY
or MobaXterm) to log into the server (you'll be emailed the
root password.)
Geth is the Ethereum client implementation in Golang.
First you need to install the dependencies and repositories.
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-get-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo add-get-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum
Once this is installed, run
geth console and you should get some messages about syncing with the chain - this can take
some time, but leave it running.
In case the process (syncing, rpc-server) process stops, we will make use of
supervisord to monitor it and restart it.
Supervisord installation is done by
apt-get install supervisor
Once this is installed, we will add a "program" to run the RPC server for us.
vi /etc/supervisor/conf.d/geth.conf
And paste the following into it;
command=/usr/bin/geth --fast --rpc --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 8545 --rpccorsdomain * --rpcapi admin,db,eth,debug,net,txpool,personal,web3
This will run the command to sync with the blockchain fast, and allow RPC calls to be made. Once it's setup, run
supervisorctl reload
to restart supervisor and the process should be running.
That's it. You now have a syncing Ethereum node (without the mining - since it's disallowed with DigitalOcean) and giving you to ability to make RPC calls to interact with the chain.

Indiana Jones Ark Bible Page
(click on image to enlarge)
The "Bible Page" replica prop that Indy was showing the FBI agents in the college is pictured above. The page is worth of framing and measures 10.5" wide X 16.5" high (26.7CM wide X 42CM high). The paper is clay-coat, which gives authenticity to the piece, both in look and texture. The entire page has been aged and lightly stressed. Since it was ripped out of the bible, hypothetically speaking, I added a "ripped" texture along the left side of the page. The text below the image was never seen on screen, it has been invented using old bible pages as a guide and stylized each paragraph heading with illuminated text as well as highlighted any important text in red as in real old bibles. The last two paragraphs are a must read as it ties in to the storyline of the movie. The text is "oxidized" as with old writings due to the metals in the ink they used.

So you know you want to buy some type of home exercise equipment – but why start an exercise bike workout?
One of the top benefits of an exercise bike workout is that it is probably the most affordable piece of exercise equipment on the market right now. Starting around $200 and ranging up to $2500, exercise bikes offer a huge variety of models for every price range and every exercise level.
It is however advisable to keep in mind that you will get what you pay for with an exercise bike. Don't expect a $200 exercise bike to come with all of the bells and whistles and last you over 3 years. However if you are on a budget, an exercise bike is a great way to get in shape for less.
Lower Impact on Joints and Ligaments
Another great benefit of an exercise bike is that it provides a much lower impact on your joints and ligaments than other piece of exercise equipment like a treadmill or stair climber. This can result in less chance of sustained injury over time and can also be great for people with joint problems, arthritis, etc.

Now Mac users can enjoy avast! protection with a brand new Mac edition.
Some might argue that Macs are not really subjected to viruses or trojans and while that used to be the case – it isn't any more. While not near the PC level of threats, there are several Mac viruses that can cause system issues without your knowledge. The Hong Kong Virus, INIT-29-B virus, HyperCard HC-9507, OSX/Leap-A, the trojan horse AppleScript.THT, 'flashback' that affected over 600,000 computers and the recent 'pint-sized' Trojan are just some of the nasties that have graced Mac computers in recent years.
The Mac edition of avast! anti-virus is powerful enough to safeguard your Mac from threats targeting OS X and Windows viruses that could be passed on to others. It is compatible with both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs and if you have Windows installed on your Mac for use with Bootcamp, avast! has a unique Mac&PC Edition to provide dual protection.
The app features on-screen tools and live graphics, a system file shield, an email shield/scanner and a web shield. avast! will guard these easily exploited areas efficiently. When you have downloaded and installed the app, expect a slight drop in performance as the app systematically scans your hard drive for threats. Browser performance is also hindered slightly with the web shield enabled.

For all the ills and money that distort soccer, we have just seen what makes it such a compelling global game. During a 24-hour span Friday and Saturday, six nations from widely diverse cultures fought with fervent and stark and contagious energy.
Costa Rica beat Italy. Iran lost out in the final moments, not so much to Argentina, but to the genius that is Lionel Messi. And Germany traded goals with Ghana until barely any player had energy left to walk off the field as the game ended 2-2.
That is the point of this story: Left to the players, this might still be the beautiful game. These players can sense that the host country, Brazil, has special feelings for the sport. And the teams from the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe are giving every ounce in their different styles.
There is something remarkable about the way that Costa Rica, a country of fewer than five million people, found itself drawn into a group with three former world champions and so far has beaten two of them. "We love the group," the Costa Rican coach Jorge Luis Pinto had said when the draw was made last December. "The braver the bull, the better the bullfight."
Even he might not have envisaged Los Ticos coming from a goal down to defeat Uruguay 3-1 in the opening weekend of the tournament and then mastering Italy, tactically and technically, in Friday's 1-0 win in Recife, Brazil.
The bulls have the matadors on the run. If Costa Rica can do that, what has anyone to fear from having a go at a bigger opponent? Iran, organized by its Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz, went toe-to-toe Saturday with Argentina, one of the favorites to win this World Cup.
Neither side had scored for 90 minutes. Iran's players had worked like soldiers to prevent Messi and Sergio Agüero and Gonzalo Higuaín from scoring in the first half, but then the Iranians — Team Melli — created the better openings after the break.
Reza Ghoochannejhad, a striker who has played for clubs in the Netherlands, Belgium and England, at times seemed to conduct his own one-on-one duel with the Argentine goalkeeper, Sergio Romero. Television replays showed that his colleague, Ashkan Dejagah, should have been awarded a penalty kick when his leg was taken out in a rash tackle by Pablo Zabaleta.
"A penalty, 100 percent," the Iranian told the BBC. "But that's football. What we did was show that we can play a team like Argentina."
Play the team, yes. But in the first minute of added time, Messi became unplayable or unstoppable. The Argentine had been largely contained, his steps hounded by two and sometimes three men in red shirts throughout the contest.
But then, with four defenders retreating in front of him, the one Iranian who tried to shut down Messi's space made a crucial error. The opponent happened to be Ghoochannejhad, the man who had run so tirelessly up front for so long.
Ghoochannejhad allowed Messi to dart past him on Messi's left side. A defender would know that Messi is strongest on that foot and should try to force him the other way. Too late. Argentina's extraordinary game-winner was given a sight of the goal and, from outside the penalty area, Messi curled his shot artfully between the goalkeeper and the far post.
Two goals for Messi in this tournament, two wins, and safe passage into the knockout rounds that could open up very favorably for Argentina.
But what is evolving in this tournament is just how much the gap is narrowing between what used to be the traditional soccer powers and those who once merely filled out the numbers. Spain and England are out of this tournament, but players attracted by the cash in those countries' top leagues — and the Bundesliga in Germany too — are still running.
"It only takes a second to score a goal," Brian Clough used to say. The Englishman was a consistent scorer who netted 197 goals in 213 games for his first club, Middlesbrough, and when a knee injury forced him out of the game, he managed Nottingham Forest to success in European competition.
Clough would scour the ends of the earth for a striker to turn a few seconds of opportunity into goals. He persuaded Nottingham to become the first club in the world to pay 1 million pounds for a player when it signed Trevor Francis.
What might he have paid today for Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or even the king of stealth, Miroslav Klose?
The Germany striker needed just 112 seconds after entering play as a substitute to scoring against Ghana in Fortaleza, Brazil, on Saturday.
The game was run at a tumultuous tempo. Seemingly forever, Africa has promised to grow into a force at the World Cup, and on Saturday, one of its countries was in the ascendancy.
Ghana led 2-1, after a soaring header from André Ayew and a stylish low shot from Asamoah Gyan. Ghana created, and squandered, even more chances with its fast counterattacks.
And how the Germans were rocked until their trusted goal-poacher Klose came on.
With his first touch of the game, Klose tucked the ball inside the back post for his 15th World Cup goal in 20 appearances.
Klose now is tied with Brazil's Ronaldo as the all-time leading scorer at the World Cup. Gerd Müller, the German goal machine of the 1970s, had 14 World Cup goals, while Just Fontaine, the French-Moroccan, struck 13 at a single World Cup in 1958. And Pelé's total was 12 goals in his four World Cups.
The act might only take a second, but the legend lasts a lifetime.

This rich and warming stew is perfect for special night in with a glass of vintage Shiraz. It oozes decadency and you could totally bring it to one of Marie Antoinette's dinner parties. The recipe is not difficult but is best prepared on the weekend when you have plenty of time to supervise the braising process.
Let's talk about beef cheeks! The name 'beef cheek' refers to the facial cheek muscle of a cow. It's a rather tough and lean cut of meat which requires a slow cooking method. But, it's also a bit magical, because given enough cooking time, it transforms into the most gorgeous, gelatinous, velvety, tender meat full of depth and flavour. For this recipe I used beef cheeks from one of my faves, Cape Grim Beef. It's advisable to pre-order beef cheeks from your butcher. Otherwise, if you can't find any cheeks, something like beef brisket can also be used.
I used port instead of just red wine because the darker fortified wines add much more depth to the dish, plus I wanted some sweetness to go with vanilla. This dish is a little sweet, but don't worry – once you add up the total sugars (glucose and fructose from the port, vegetables, and tomato paste), you'll be coming in at around 5-6 grams per person. Not to bad for something this magical.Print
Slow Cooked Port & Vanilla Beef Cheeks
- Prep Time: 20 mins
- Cook Time: 4 hours 30 mins
- Total Time: 4 hours 50 mins
- Yield: 4 1x
- 4 beef cheeks (about 1.2 kg), cut in half, sinew removed (ask your butcher to do this)
- sea salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil for frying
- 2/3 cup of port (Sherry can also be used)
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
- 1 large white onion, sliced
- 4 large garlic cloves, roughly diced
- 4–5 cardamon pods (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar (red wine vinegar can also be used)
- 3 bay leaves
- 6 cloves (or 1/4 teaspoon of ground clove spice, cinnamon could also be used)
- 1–2 vanilla beans (depending on size), split
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 450 ml / about 2 cups beef stock
- 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced
- Preheat the oven to 150C.
- Season the beef cheeks with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan with coconut oil over high heat, brown the cheeks on each side for about a minute and place in a heavy-based casserole dish.
- Deglaze the frying pan with port, then add the onion, garlic, butter, cardamon seeds, vinegar, bay leaves, cloves, vanilla beans, pepper, tomato paste, and beef stock. Mix through and bring to simmer, then carefully pour over the beef cheeks in the casserole dish.
- Assemble the beef cheeks so they don't overlap and the garlic and onion are distributed evenly. Cover with foil and place the casserole in the oven. Cook covered for around 3 hours 15 minutes, turning beef cheeks frequently, every 20-25 minutes.
- Then remove the foil, add the carrots and cook uncovered for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Make sure to keep turning the beef cheeks as they will start to brown and dry up on the top. Taste for seasoning and add salt if needed but there should be loads given the beef stock is reduced.
- Serve with a side of greens sautéed in olive oil and garlic and some fresh green herbs on top.
