Micheal Jackson Cardiac Arrest June 25, 2009
Jun 26, 2009, 10:17 AM »
June 25, 2009:
The Super New Moon cycle, an astrological high tide intensifies all. This new moon pairs with the lunar eclipse on July 7, 2009. Neptune (correlates to music and public figures among other things) is highly activated now by the triple alignment of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron, all in retrograde. The Lunar Appulse Eclipse on July 7, 2009 shows Mars in Taurus in a first square square (exact) to the triple alignment. (Jupiter/Neptune - king, in Aquarius - pop). The current Mercury square Saturn has taken Farah Fawcett on the same day (just hours earlier), and Ed McMann, two days earlier.
The super new moon (an astrological high tide based on the moon's proximity to the earth) has already energized the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 7. This eclipse is obscured - perhaps we can say veiled, just as our sequenced gloved one was too. Who would have guessed such a tragic ending for the king of pop - he had had enough hardship in recent years. My heart goes to his family and his children - as bizarre as he was, he was also a genius.
Micheal Jackson: Natal Chart: Aug 29, 1958, 11:53 pm Gary, Indiana
Cardiac Arrest, June 25, 2009, 2:26pm Los Angeles
The astrology:
Transiting Mercury in Gemini in MJ's 12th house and about to cross the Ascendant, in square Saturn in Virgo (a mistake) in his 4th house (house of endings)
(the cause? Likely a mix of prescriptions combined with ongoing over the top stress & depression - his health had already been reported to be compromised.)
This Mercury square Saturn (Ceres too) was particularly lethal as it squared his 10th house natal Moon in Capricorn (relates to the great/building pressure re the upcoming concert tour)
Transiting Mercury was square his natal Ceres in Virgo;
Transiting Ceres conjunct Saturn was conjunct his natal Ceres.
(Ceres: a battle with the dark forces, can be a death signature.)
Saturn is the planet of endings; Sat in Virgo – the already weak system gave out.
The transit position of Saturn forms an exact square to his Ascendant/Descendent angles.
Cardiac arrest is seen by the transit of the moon which has just surpassed natal Uranus in Leo (cardiac arrest) and was in an exact opposition to Chiron in Aquarius
(Chiron is often a death indicator.)
Chiron: the maverick, wounded one, the ostracized one, the lonely one, special one;
Chiron in Aquarius – a shock to the public; an accidental overdose.
The triple alignment of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron transiting his natal 10th, formed an opposition to his natal Pallas and Mercury retrograde. (Chiron is exact on these two planets)
The transiting moon (timing device) had also surpassed an exact square to Mars in Taurus (separation impulse, accident, sudden death) and was exactly squaring Venus in Taurus (survival planet in crisis – squared by Ceres/Saturn – both indicative of death and endings.)
The transiting north node and the progressed moon at 1 Aquarius have recently formed a conjunction. It was reported that he was having health issues, and this can be verified by the pressurized transit of Saturn in square to his Ascendant/Descendant over this past month particularly. There are many other indicators.
All this under the super new moon high tide energizer cycle, which has just begun (June 22, 2009). The super new moon is a catalyst for the upcoming lunar eclipse on July 7. (Eclipses can energize prior to or after the actual event.) This lunar eclipse falls in MJ's 8th house of death (the eclipse Sun is in the 2nd house). Note the eclipse Uranus position, which is in his 10th house, opposing Juno and activating his 11th house cusp (theme of liberation, leaving the body.)
Mars and Venus (both in Taurus, the survival sign) are highly activated and will continue to be over this next week. The intensity is from now through to the Lunar Eclipse. For some, the transits can bring wonderful advances and breakthroughs, for others, sudden loss, sudden switching of gears/redirection or the shock of a significant severing or ending. The next three new moons are super moons (the moon is in close proximity to earth). July begins another eclipse season.

Greetings all,
I am unable to get into the programs to re post the chart, but
I have just learned the birth-time previously given is incorrect. (This was Basil Fearington's birth-time which he apparently got directly from Michael Jackson. It would not be surprising that he might lie about this.)
The correct birth time is: 7:33 pm. The chart shows his ascendant 10:07 Pisces, Moon in the 1st house at 14:54 Pisces, and of no surprise to EA students, a stellium in the 6th house, Pluto included.
this information is supplied via the Isar newsletter which I'll cut and paste it here:
This is to let you know that my good friend and colleague Chakrapani
Ullal has accurate birth data for Michael Jackson. Chakrapani is a Vedic
astrologer based in Los Angeles, CA. He has given me permission to pass
on this information, especially now that Jackson is deceased (as of June
25, 2009). In the last week Chakrapani has revealed that Jackson was a
long-term client of his between 1988 and 2006.
Jackson gave Chakrapani a birth time of 7:33 PM CDT on Aug. 29, 1958,
Gary, Indiana. Unless he has to rectify the birth time, Chakrapani
requires that his clients provide accurate birth data from a birth
certificate or birth record (**).
This is the birth time he has been using since 1988 or earlier.
Jackson's Vedic chart (sidereal zodiac) gives him a 16:49 Aquarius
Ascendant with Moon in the Ascendant at 21:37 Aquarius opposite Sun at
12:51 Leo. Up to this point, most astrologers have been using a 12 noon
chart for Jackson, as no birth time was available.
Note (**) Chakrapani has assured me that Michael Jackson gave this birth
information to him directly. Chakrapani says he was never given any
birth time other than 7:33 PM. He is very sure of this fact. And while
normally there would be secretaries or assistants dealing with his
clients, in the case of Michael Jackson, Chakrapani was introduced to
him through an intermediary - a well-known person who was a mutual
friend. This person took him to Jackson's mansion and listened in on the
reading. This happened a few times, and there were no assistants
present. After this, and using a pseudonym known only to both of them,
Jackson phoned Chakrapani directly - 1000s of times over the years
between 1988 and 2006.....

Learn more about Niqāb
Several Western countries including France, Spain and Canada have proposed laws which would ban Muslim women from wearing a Niqab in public spaces. A niqab is a cloth that covers the face and is worn by some Muslim women in public areas. The U.S. currently does not have any laws banning burqas. Proponents argue that the ban infringes on individual rights and prevents people from expressing their religious beliefs. Opponents argue that face-coverings prevent the clear identification of a person, which is both a security risk, and a social hindrance within a society which relies on facial recognition and expression in communication.

APGAR is a quick test performed on a baby at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. The 1-minute score determines how well the baby tolerated the birthing process. The 5-minute score tells the doctor how well the baby is doing outside the mother's womb.
The test may rarely be done 10 minutes after birth.
Alternative Names
Newborn scoring
How the test is performed
The APGAR test is done by a doctor, midwife, or nurse. The health care provider will examine the baby's:
- Breathing effort
- Heart rate
- Muscle tone
- Reflexes
- Skin color
Each category is scored with 0, 1, or 2, depending on the observed condition.
- Breathing effort:
- If the infant is not breathing, the respiratory score is 0.
- If the respirations are slow or irregular, the infant scores 1 for respiratory effort.
- If the infant cries well, the respiratory score is 2.
- Heart rate is evaluated by stethoscope. This is the most important assessment:
- If there is no heartbeat, the infant scores 0 for heart rate.
- If heart rate is less than 100 beats per minute, the infant scores 1 for heart rate.
- If heart rate is greater than 100 beats per minute, the infant scores 2 for heart rate.
- Muscle tone:
- If muscles are loose and floppy, the infant scores 0 for muscle tone.
- If there is some muscle tone, the infant scores 1.
- If there is active motion, the infant scores 2 for muscle tone.
- Grimace response or reflex irritability is a term describing response to stimulation such as a mild pinch:
- If there is no reaction, the infant scores 0 for reflex irritability.
- If there is grimacing, the infant scores 1 for reflex irritability.
- If there is grimacing and a cough, sneeze, or vigorous cry, the infant scores 2 for reflex irritability.
- Skin color:
- If the skin color is pale blue, the infant scores 0 for color.
- If the body is pink and the extremities are blue, the infant scores 1 for color.
- If the entire body is pink, the infant scores 2 for color.
Why the test is performed
This test is done to determine whether a newborn needs help breathing or is having heart trouble.
Normal Values
The APGAR rating is based on a total score of 1 to 10. The higher the score, the better the baby is doing after birth.
A score of 7, 8, or 9 is normal and is a sign that the newborn is in good health. A score of 10 is very unusual, since almost all newborns lose 1 point for blue hands and feet, which is normal for after birth.
What abnormal results mean
Any score lower than 7 is a sign that the baby needs medical attention. The lower the score, the more help the baby needs to adjusting outside the mother's womb.
Most of the time a low Apgar score is caused by:
- Difficult birth
- C-section
- Fluid in the baby's airway
If your child has a low Apgar score, he or she may receive:
- Oxygen and clearing out the airway to help the baby breathe
- Physical stimulation to get the heart beating at a healthy rate
Most of the time, a low score at 1 minute is near-normal by 5 minutes.
A lower Apgar score does not mean a child will have serious or long-term health problem. The Apgar score is not designed to predict the future health of the child.

Is the mask used by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to cover its agenda slipping a bit lately?
Of course, HSUS is no stranger to controversies surrounding how they raise funds. So it should be no surprise that many people are raising questions about the latest pitch by HSUS to raise $1 million by the end of the year for its "2010 Animal Survivors Fund." What is surprising is that many of those ringing the alarm bells do not usually share our opposition to HSUS.
The e-mail and web solicitation in question comes from HSUS Animal Fighting Campaign Manager, John Goodwin. In the plea, Goodwin refers to "Fay", a rescued pit bull that had been abused in a large St. Louis area dog fighting ring. While nothing in the solicitation appears to be technically inaccurate, some are disputing HSUS' level of involvement in this issue.

Hubble's Photo Contest Selects Winners
The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced the winners of an international public contest called Hubble's Hidden Treasures.
Budding amateur astronomers were invited to create beautiful color astronomical pictures from over 700,000 available images of stars, nebulae, and galaxies in the Hubble Space Telescope data archive. The vast amount of data available from Hubble means that there are at least hundreds of potentially beautiful images that have never gone public. The images Hubble takes through various color filters need to be combined through image processing to render an aesthetic and scientifically accurate view.
ESA received nearly 3,000 photo submissions from individuals who performed the color compositing and other photo enhancement techniques. Twenty prizes were awarded in several categories. Roughly half of the contestants used the Space Telescope Science Institute's Hubble Legacy Archive, which provides image processing tools for the public.

UPDATE: Several commenters have stated that this photograph is apparently a fake. So I guess it says something about the awful state of vestments these days that my reaction to that news is that I would find such a disgraceful ensemble to be totally plausible.

It's a fake. In the original photo, the Bishop (Michael Bird of the Anglican Church in Canada) is wearing a white mitre.

Now I'm starting to wonder what other photos here have been faked.
- September 3, 2011 at 10:11 AM
The source seems to be David ?'s blog, Anglican Samizat dedicated to ridiculing religion in general rather than just its vestments in particular. Other photoshopped pictures of Bishop Bird show the bishop in sunglasses or with $$ on his miter. Don't know what David has against +Bird but it may be connected with ANIC, whatever splinter group that may be.

I guess the heading for this post is correct in ways none of us would have imagined: "I Got Nothin'" (so I'll just make something up!).
It's hard to imagine a blog about vestments that have 'jumped the shark' would jump the shark itself but it looks like that is what's happened.

The blog Anglican Samizat where this originally appeared is a very nasty piece of goods, the author connected with a 'Network' parish that has left the diocese of Niagara. The bishop has suffered much personal harassment from them. Fakes have no place on 'bad vestments'

The real mitre isn't exactly a winner either; it makes the bishop look somewhat like Belloc getting ready to open the ark.
- September 12, 2011 at 4:24 PM
As a matter of policy, I do not think you should put fake photos on Bad Vestments. Once you discover they are fake, you should remove them. Otherwise, the site will become the focus of much hatred as people send in fake photos of the clerics they despise. And you will subject people to ridicule who do not deserve it, such as the Bishop of Niagara.

As someone noted above, the image is my creation.
I am convinced, though, that although the image is a concoction, the truth of its underlying metaphor more than compensates for the apparent falseness revealed by a shallow literalistic interpretation.
Had I known it would be subject to such scrutiny, I would have spent more time on it.

Our Fitness Blog
Fuel and Refuel for Success!
Fueling the body properly before and after a workout is a big key to success. Success for what, you might ask? Well, whether your goals revolve around body transformation, improved overall health and fitness and/or improved athletic performance, pre/post workout fueling is a big key to achieving all of these goals. That being said, sometimes there is a big misunderstanding about how to fuel the body before workout; how to fuel the body after a workout; and what to fuel the body with at these times. What we are trying to accomplish with pre/post workout fueling is to constantly load and reload muscle glycogen.
Fitness enthusiasts and athletes tend to have enhanced focus when it comes to their workouts and, as mentioned above, individuals are looking to improve their body composition, overall health and fitness and/or improve their athletic performance. What if it was possible to assist in improving all of these factors without having to work out more/harder? Good news - it is very possible to do so! One of the main keys to success is fueling the body properly prior to each workout. Most of us lead very busy lives and, as a result, once a workout is completed we are off to the next task for the day. Many times, this means that the proper recovery fuel did not find its way into the mix. This is where 9Round Nutrition will help you out. The fuel we are putting into our body post-workout is not just assisting in recovery from that specific workout, it is helping to fuel our body properly for tomorrow's workout. Does that make sense? Basically, the constant fuel/refuel process is allowing us to properly recover from today's workout and prepare the body for tomorrow's workout.
Here are a few tips that will help to improve recovery which, in turn, will help to enhance every 9Round workout.
Glycogen Load and Reload
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles. Reloading and replenishing glycogen stores following a workout is one of the main keys to recovery success. The main macronutrient that will help with reloading glycogen is carbohydrate. When carbohydrates are consumed post workout, this stimulates insulin production, which helps in muscle glycogen production. Your 9Round Nutrition meals/snacks will serve as ideal post workout recovery fuel. All too often, individuals think that protein, and more of it, is the key to recovery. That is not the case
Glycogen x 2
In addition to ingesting carbohydrates following a workout, research also shows that a recovery fuel source containing carbohydrate and protein can nearly double the insulin response. In turn, this results in more glycogen storage. In addition, the protein will also provide the body with amino acids which can help assist in muscle recovery. Your 9Round Nutrition meals/snacks have the ideal balance of these macronutrients.
Carbohydrate & Protein Ratio
Now that you understand the importance of carbohydrates and protein following your workouts, how much of each macronutrient is ideal? Research shows that a carbohydrate to protein ratio of 2:1, 3:1 and even up to 4:1 or 5:1 is optimal for reloading. For example, a 2:1 ratio means 2g carbohydrate to 1g protein. At 9Round Nutrition, we help take the thinking out of this process for you. For example, the meals/snacks have a balance of approximately 50% carbohydrate, 25% protein, 25% fat. This is a great example of a 2:1 ratio and the body will be well fueled for success.
More protein following a workout is going to slow glycogen replenishment and rehydration; both of which would be huge negatives to an individuals' recovery process. In terms of when recovery fuel should be consumed following a workout, there are a few factors to consider such as when pre-workout fuel was consumed, workout duration and workout intensity. From a pre-workout timing perspective, we want to consume our 9Round Nutrition pre-workout meal 30 to 60 minutes pre-workout. The 9Round workout will last 30 minutes, followed by refueling within 60 minutes after our 9Round workout (refuel with one of the Rxd meals/snacks on your 9Round Nutrition meal plan). Let's use an example of a 5:30pm workout. We want to fuel the body pre-workout at 4:30-5pm and then refuel the body by 7pm.
As important as reloading glycogen is following a workout, rehydration is just as important. Just as we discussed earlier in regards to proper post workout recovery fuel helping to assist in improving future workouts, the same holds true for proper rehydration. If we do not properly rehydrate following each workout, we will then go into our next workout slightly dehydrated. This can start to negatively compound on itself and we can quickly find ourselves in an acute or even chronic state of dehydration. This will negatively impact recovery and heart rate (heart rate will be higher at a lower rate of exertion). Following a 30 minute, 9Round workout, consume 16-24 ounces immediately following your workout.
In summary, let's put the Glycogen Load & Reload principles in motion. Let's fuel the body properly prior to and after each workout. As a result, we will find our workout performance and workout recovery enhanced!
1- Muscle glycogen synthesis before and after exercise.
2- Effects of recovery beverages on glycogen restoration and endurance exercise performance.
3- Glycogen resynthesis after exercise: effect of carbohydrate intake.

Who are the kinds of characters that make up a typical Nigerian office? I have drawn up a list, and I must remind you that all the incidents reported below really happened, but the names of the characters have been doctored a bit. I guarantee that everyone who has worked a 9 to 5 would be familiar with at least one of the types of characters below. Enjoy….
- THE FORM ACTIVITY CHARACTER: This person loves to act as if he (or she) is carrying all the workload in the office or as if he is always super-busy to have time for his mere mortal co-workers. He normally moves at a 1000 miles per hour, making photocopies, punishing the keyboard by typing very loudly and talking loud on the phone to clients. Even a simple personal task like getting water from the water dispenser is done with much ceremony, like he is Moses about to part the Red Sea.
Yep this character loves to "form activity" but actually lacks any substance or depth to his persona. He usually gets found out at meetings where suggestions or reports are required. This is the type of dude to show up fully suited up with a big yellow tie which stops on his midriff on TGIF Dress-down day. He did get the memo/email to dress down, but his own akproko is too much.
I once worked with a Form Activist for a start-up firm somewhere in Lagos (won't tell where). One day a higher-up was making his rounds in our department, as he was supervising some people working on a major project for a big Abuja investment firm. Mr. Form Activity was not involved in the project, but he was sitting in the corner typing away on his computer, making loud noises like it was an old Olivetti typewriter from the 80s and not a Dell PC. He was also flipping paper stacks and acting like he was drafting a new constitution for Nigeria or compiling a dictionary for Hon. Obiahiagbon. The co-workers in the office were looking at him like, what the hell is dude up to. Apart from the few guys working on the Abuja project, it was not a particularly busy day. Mr. Form Activity was acting up because the higher-up who was top director was around, and he wanted to look like an effico employee.
The director didn't even seem to notice the effico guy as he was standing behind two of the guys working on the project, dictating what they should type and edit in the report they were preparing. They then tried to print the 1000 page report but the printer connected to the PC they were working on was jamming.
The director then uploaded the report onto the company database, and then without warning walked over to Form Activist's desk so he could print from that computer which was connected to another printer.
Form Activist's PC was switched off.
It could have been worse. He could have been nabbed playing Solitaire.
2. JEZEBEL FEMALE WORKER: Woe betides you if this brutal female is your boss or supervisor. The female co-worker from hell is a staple of every office environment. If she is a spinster, her work becomes her life and she is impossible to work with. But wait it gets worse: if she is in a relationship, she brings all her marital baggage to the office. On the day her hubby slaps her, she comes into office and slaps every one with impossible tasks.
I once had a female Jezebel boss. All the workers were scared shitless of her. She addressed a meeting where she announced to 20 anxious male lawyers and 2 cowering female ones: "Some of you are not pulling you weight in this organization. I have initiated Operation Shelltox. I will weed you out like I am pulling jigger (a nasty parasitic insect) from a villager's foot. Everybody gulped – including the hard-workers. Banks were also laying off, you see.
I later realized that Jezebel boss's husband was mighty frightened of her. He was a very meek looking geeky dude. The guy looked like he only went near her physically whenever it was time to procreate. He was a software engineer or so. He swung by the office sometimes to bring her things she had requested or to help with minor IT issues with the company servers.
There was a day he had come into the office and was working on a mainframe computer some desks away from me. We were the only ones in that section of the office as most of my co-workers were at clients or in the other section. The Jezebel Boss was in her office which was on the 2nd floor in the other side.
Then the telephone situated near the boss's hubby started ringing. He refused to answer it. It rang like 7-8 more times, but dude ignored it. Then my own office line rang so I picked the phone up: "It is Esco. Who is this?"
It was Boss Jezebel on the line. She inquired without greeting "Esco is this how you greet clients when you answer the phone. Okay remind me to get at you later for this. Is Mr. Jezebel there?"
I replied in the affirmative. She then barked "Then tell him to pick up the bloody phone!" I placed the handset on the receiver.
Then suddenly the other phone started ringing again.
I looked at the hubby sitting next to it. He glanced at me with beads of perspiration and terror in his eyes. I had to break the bad news to him: "Kind Sir, it is your wife calling. She says you should pick up."
Dude looked like I had just asked him to swallow a spoon of Worm medicine.
He picked the receiver with his hands jerking like he was about to disarm a Boko Haram bomb. This message will self-distruct….
3. THE SOCIAL OLOFOFO: In every Naija office is some prick who treats office life as the epicenter of his/her social existence. This olofofo organizes the TGIF small chops and rice, or helps buy and distribute aso ebi material for any co-worker's weddings or ceremonies. This olofofo even attends every single event from condolence visits to bereaved colleagues to house-warnings and naming ceremonies.
Fair enough, but what used to irk me is that the olofofo feels hurt if anyone was not on the same page with him. I know a dude who used to wait in the office after he had finished his tasks for the day "to soak in the environment and socialize with people from other departments." Err, sorry that's why it is called a 9 to 5. Left to me, it should be 7 to 3 because I would rather arrive early and leave early, but it is what it is. By the way GEJ is there any chance that you could sort this out. Maybe I should move to Spain.
My cousin who was a banker nearly got into it with a social olofofo who was always suggesting inconvenient Saturday "team-bonding" events. Seriously, no I am not waking up early again on Saturday morning, driving down Third Mainland to attend some bloody team work retreat about Better Customer Service and Marketing at Badagry Beach of all places. I need my Saturdays to do other things with my life. I don't want you in my Saturday too.
Social olofofo looked visibly hurt: You have betrayed the circle of trust. And I have already ordered and deposited money for the small chops and paid for the canopies….
4. THE OFFICE SUCK-UP: This one is always trying to curry favors with management, and will throw anyone under the bus to get a quick rise. They are a bit like the Form Activists except that they are more calculating and dangerous, and have a bit of a method to their madness. And their madness dey plenty.
They may usually snitch on their co-workers to higher-ups. But what gets my goat is that how they "seek perch."
There was an instance where the Boss had just returned from an official trip to England and brought candy for the ladies and some really smart ties for the chaps. The office suck-up was a girl called Dupe, and she was really on a roll that day. She pranced around looking at everyone's gifts, and remarking about how the Boss had very good taste, and how he must have spent a fortune. She even said she would not eat her candy as she was touched by the Boss's kind gesture. Men, if that girl suddenly contracted Lassa Fever that day, she would have tried to touch the Boss's garment to get healed. Na so her suck-up reach.
The Boss was now joking about his trip, and about the crooked Customs chaps at MMIA asking for egunje and things of that nature. He then said something.
Dupe suddenly burst out laughing loudly, and baring all her gnashers and rubbing her belly. If there was a raffia mat on the ground, she would have even rolled on the floor with laughter sef.
Everyone looked at her like she had kolo-ed or something. The boss also had a confused look on his face too. Later on, the boss's secretary came to get him, as he had a meeting.
When the boss was out of earshot, she drew me aside and asked me "What was the last thing he said. I really could not hear the joke."
I replied "It was no joke at all. He said he lost his wallet with about 700 pounds in it, and he suspects he left it on the aircraft when he disembarked at Murtala Airport."
Eh? Kilo wi?
You had better be on the IT Maestro's good side. Depending on where you work (State or Local Governments and "One Man Offices" do not count) the IT Maestro can hook you up with all the new tech stuff like wireless keyboards or a shiny slim PC monitor, or a printer which actually works and does not print smudged ink like Tie and Dye cloth.
If he hates your guts, you may end up with the fat old white computer with the dead pixels. Or a UPS system that works like NEPA. IT Guys have some kind of power in most offices, but they seem more power-drunk in Nigerian offices. Trust us, we like to exert authority whenever we are given lofty positions.
Before Blackberry phones became pure water in Nigeria, I know an IT guy who hooked up a female intern lawyer with access to the office server so that her work emails got pushed to her private phone. This was a privilege only the firm's Partners enjoyed. I don't know how she paid back that favor, but she always wore some saucy "push-up" bras to work. I am just saying o. Push me, I push you.
These IT guys always seem to work on a different time-zone from anyone. Late into the office, early out. In some companies, they are allowed to dress down, and their favorite garb are polo shirt, jeans, geeky glasses and a knapsack. They also like oily food.
Don't let the Steve Urkel get-up fool you. These dudes are more vicious than Bola Koof.
A friend called Remi who was once competing for the affection of a sexy girl named Segi with an IT dude. They took their war to another level, but IT girl went "no-holds barred" when he discovered that Remi had taken Segi for dinner and movies at Silverbird the Saturday before.
The IT guy decided to play his ace-card. Remi was due to give a presentation on Private Equity Law in Nigeria to a bunch of Chinese clients in the office boardroom. Two of the firm partners were also going to be present along with interested workers of the firm, and these clients were a very lucrative account for the firm.
Remi had worked on the PowerPoint presentation for the best of one month, and had finally completed the slides the evening before. He set up the projection apparatus, and then the clients and firm partners came in and took their seats. Okay, educate us…
Err, when Remi tried to locate the files with the slides, they were nowhere to be found. He started to sweat profusely, and the partners looked on embarrassed as he fidgeted with the projector. As Remi struggled in front of everyone, sweating buckets, he looked up and saw IT guy seated at the back. He was not even supposed to be here.
IT guy gave him a knowing wink. Like, I don winch you today.
Remi avoided Segi like Boko Haram States after that.
*Please leave your comments and experiences. What kind of characters have you worked with? I need at least 30 comments o or it will be 30 more months before another article. Haha! You know I love you.

After watching the Cowboys get completely destroyed against the Eagles on Sunday night I am finally convinced about the state of the team. The Cowboys are just a completely average team right now. They aren't as terrible as the Eagles' game might make you believe. But they also aren't nearly as good as the dominating win against the Rams might fool you into believing. The Cowboys can beat any team and they can lose to any team. That is a sign of a team that is very average.
I think it is pretty obvious that the odds of the Cowboys making a run at the Super Bowl are not good at this point in the season. It isn't impossible but it doesn't look very likely. But I also don't expect to see the Cowboys collapse down the stretch either. 8-8 or 9-7 appears to be where this team is headed if something doesn't change.
No fan wants to see their team go 8-8 or 9-7, but I can't be completely disappointed in that type of a season either. Let's be honest. The Cowboys have problems on the offensive line. It is preventing the offense from establishing a consistent attack. Tony Romo is very rarely comfortable in the pocket against the better teams in the league. It was wishful thinking to believe that an offensive line could be pieced together on the fly a few weeks before the start of the season that could be playoff caliber.
I'm not ready to give up on Tony Romo or Jason Garrett like many members of the fan base are ready to do. I feel like Jason Garrett is slowly whipping the roster into shape. He was dealt a bad hand with the moves that had to be made right before the season thanks to salary cap issues. But Garrett isn't standing pat with the players he has. He is churning the roster to try to find new pieces that the Cowboys can rely on for years to come.
And for those who think that there is any chance that Romo is fighting for his job...dream on. First of all, Tony Romo is a top 10 quarterback in the league. His stats are no aberration. And Tony's contract isn't the type that the Cowboys can afford to dump now that they are already handcuffed by the salary cap. Romo's contract was restructured before the season started, and the adjustments that were made virtually guarantee that he will be here for at least 2-3 more years.
Just because the Cowboys are average at this point in the season doesn't mean that they are destined to be average at the end of the season. The team can improve. But the Eagles game was a step back. The schedule for the Cowboys gives them a shot to make a run at a playoff birth but the improvement has to start now. I have no doubt that the Sunday night game was a wake up call. I expect to see a dominating win against the Seahawks. But all that will do is get the Cowboys back to .500 for the season. They need a winning streak. And they need to start beating quality teams.
I won't be convinced the Cowboys are done this year until they prove they can't beat the lesser teams on their schedule. But injuries could change that view as well. I'm really hoping that Sean Lee will be able to play through his wrist injury. It was obvious against the Eagles that Keith Brooking can't get it done any more. And Matt McBriar's injury is a major concern as well. The hamstring pull that Mike Jenkins had on Sunday night isn't going to help the defense either.
So this is where we are right now. The Cowboys are just a run of the mill team right now. They are very average. Some would argue that they are below average. So now we'll see what Jason Garrett is made of. A great coach can find a way to get his team to play above their talent level. The final 9 games will tell us a lot about whether Jason Garrett is a coach that can be the difference.

Maybe the Cowboys Are Just Mediocre

I like your blog and I'll keep reading it, but dang, man. Open your eyes!ReplyDelete
Anyway, you know how I know the cowboys are mediocre at best? Because I never see them mentioned on ESPN. You know the Cowboys have become irrelevant when the perennial Cowboys Hater Channel actually stops reporting on them.

Excellent comments. I am a 41 year loyal fan & I appreciate your views, while agreeing w/99% of what you say. PLease keep up the good work & know that we enjoy your blog.ReplyDelete

I replaced the icemaker with a new one. Everything works great.
1. Does the shutoff arm come apart from the plastic trip lever without breaking ? How?
2. The new ice maker came with three harnesses. None of them matched the harness on the whirlpool I was working on. I ended up using the old harness. Has anyone run into this problem before?
3. After installing the ice maker, is there a way to run a test cycle even though the freezer is warmer than 12 deg.? (power off while I installed the ice maker)
... puzzled why I couldn't get the water valve to operate by jumping pin V and N?

INDIO >> The eighth annual Stagecoach Country Music Festival featured a little of everything as powerhouse country stars like Eric Church and Jason Aldean, Lynyrd Skynyrd and even former Bangles rocker Susanna Hoffs performed to the patriotic crowd during the three-day festival.
"Country music does a great job appreciating our country and our service members," said 18-year-old Virginia Brawley of Upland. "You don't get this kind of vibe with any other kind of music… and Stagecoach brings it to California."
Brawley, who was wearing a red, white and blue bikini top, was just one of thousands of fans donning the country's colors along with cowboy boots and hats — many made out of beer cartons — at Stagecoach. As singer Franky Perez during his performance with Katey Sagal and The Forest Rangers on Friday said, Stagecoach was all about "daisy dukes and cowboy boots."
Ragecoach, a term coined by festival-goers about drinking heavily at the festival, was also in full effect as the first two days resulted in 123 arrests, the majority of which were alcohol-related, said Ben Guitron, spokesman for the Indio Police Department. The numbers for the days were double from last year and much higher than arrests during the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which are hosted on the same fields also by L.A.-based producers Goldenvoice.
Still, Stagecoach proved to be family-friendly event as cowgirls- and cowboys-in-training got to practice roping cattle and other activities at the Half-Pint Hootenanny.
"Stagecoach was an experience of American culture and patriotic grit. This is my boys' first true festival and they loved it," said Bob Priest, 42, of Rancho Mirage, who brought his sons — 10-year-old Ryan and 7-year-old Dylan — to Stagecoach.
The music even transcended ages as the legendary Don McLean attracted the young and old who rushed over to the Palomino Stage on Saturday for his classic "American Pie."
"It's amazing. There were 17- to 70-year-olds in there singing and dancing the whole time," said 62-year-old Sean Wood of Rancho Mirage. "It's an anthem that knows no age."
Stagecoach almost went off without a hitch if it wasn't for strong winds that stirred up a sand storm Friday and continued to blow through the weekend. During Church's two-hour set on the Mane Stage on opening night, the superstar even told the crowd "the wind is pissing me off."
Georgia-born Corey Smith also canceled his performance on Sunday due to issues with his flight to the Coachella Valley. The Railers performed during Smith's scheduled set at 2 p.m. on the Mane Stage before performing its own scheduled set at 3:20 p.m. on the Mustang Stage.
But nothing seemed able to ruin the mood as cowboys and gals, which included celebrities Mila Kunis and fiance Ashton Kutcher, celebrated 'Merica and all-things country.
Another area that drew large crowds over the weekend was Stagecoach BBQ, which had 14 barbecue vendors selling samples of spare rib, beef brisket, chicken and chili, in addition to other barbecue novelties like barbecue nachos and pig candy. These competition-level barbecues were available to festival-goers who said they couldn't imagine enjoying a little bit of country without some down-home barbecue. Stagecoach BBQ was also home to the a chili competition and a two-day barbecue competition which included the International Barbecue Cookers Association competition on Saturday. The winners, Smokin' Mo's, will be advancing to the world championships later this year.

Menu of downtown New London restaurants growing
New London - It's said that when one door closes, another one opens. In the City of New London, the same can be said for restaurants.
Candance Devendittis is having a grand re-opening of Dev's on Bank Street Monday after moving her tapas eatery into an old Chinese restaurant at 357 Bank St., just next door to her old location at 345 Bank.
Steve "Stash" Schiavone, who owns the building at 345 Bank where Dev's was located for five years, said he's using the space for private parties this summer but plans to re-open with a new restaurant next fall.
And Scott Capano recently purchased a more than 200-year-old building at 158 State St. that has been home to a variety of restaurants over the years. He plans to open a smokehouse and restaurant.
"Everything is tentative,'' said Capano, who also is spending about $1.5 million to renovate a 100-year-old building at 130 Bank St., where he will open a version of his Norwich Harp & Dragon Irish pub sometime next year.
On State Street, inside the historic three-story wooden building that was home to the Timothy Green Print Shop more than 200 years ago, Capano wants to install multiple smokers and offer smoked cheese, ribs, brisket, chicken and bacon. He said he is planning a retail operation to sell the smoked goods as well as a restaurant. He wants to name it the "State Street Saloon and Smokehouse."
Capano plans to capitalize on the history of the building, which dates back to Colonial times. It was where the first newspaper in Connecticut was published.
He hopes to be open by June, pending the receipt of any required permits or approvals.
Capano also will start construction on the Irish pub on Bank Street this summer with a tentative opening in the summer of 2014.
Devendittis said the decor of her new space is more modern than that of her former location, which for years was known as "Ye Old Tavern" and was a favorite spot for locals.
"It's like a little touch of New York in New London,'' she said of the new space.
Schiavone said he plans to renovate his building and expects to open some kind of eatery in the fall.
"It'll be something different,'' said Schiavone, who also owns the On the Waterfront restaurant on Pequot Avenue.
With news that the Coast Guard Museum may be coming downtown, and that construction may start soon on housing in Fort Trumbull, Devendittis said it's an exciting time for New London.
"We're so excited,'' she said. "We're like little kids running around happy."

Jessica Chastain is not Aloof
As I mentioned the other day, I've recently developed a (late) addiction to Veronica Mars. It's amazing how many faces have passed through Veronica Mars. Jessica Chastain passed through Veronica Mars, did you know that? It was one episode, she played a victim and, in what's promising to be a great career, it wasn't very memorable.
But this is what you do. You do the small work and you work hard and it pays so that you can keep hoping for the next and bigger and the more. If that actually happens, you don't trash the beginning just because you've arrived.
Jessica Chastain, I promise you, won't be sh-tting on her time on Veronica Mars. Jessica Chastain bursts into tears when Gary Oldman tells her he's an admirer, humble and grateful to have had the opportunity. Just as she was last night at the NBR, attending as part of the Best Ensemble (The Help).
Rooney Mara was also there to receive the Breakthrough Performance Award alongside Felicity Jones. But she was probably too busy being "aloof" to be appreciative.
By the way, have you read Rooney's interview with David Fincher in Interview? Click here if not. It's HILARIOUS. They, literally, "aloof" all over each other. The interview was conducted and the magazine was released well before "aloofing" her became a thing to do. Just so you know, this wasn't a joke. That's actually how these two pretentious f-cks talked to each other.

Top 9 Ways To Burn Extra Calories During The Day
Even when I have been in the best shape of my life, I was always looking for the next step. The hard part was looking for something I could do to burn a few hundred extra calories without starting to over train (In case you missed my blog on Overtraining, check it out here .) Here are some quick, sneaky ways to burn some extra calories doing things you already do!
- Pretend there is a fire! – What is the first thing you read if you step onto an elevator? IN CASE OF FIRE PLEASE USE STAIRS! If you want a "fired" up metabolism, live like your building is on fire!
- I Brush, therefor I am – Try a little yoga while you brush your teeth. Holding one foot off the ground, or holding a wall squat is an easy way to involve your biggest muscle group while you are cleaning those pearly whites.
- Learn To Love Commercial Breaks – During a normal hour of television, there are around 21 minutes in commercials! Use that time to your advantage by mixing in different exercises. For example, if it is a food commercial you could do sit-ups, for a car commercial you can squat, etc…
- Get Twitchy With It – Studies have shown that restless people burn more calories! Even if its shaking your leg or drumming your fingers, those little muscles require energy to move!
- Try The "Heart Healthy" Parking – When given the opportunity, park as far away from your destination as safely possible. The extra steps will help knock off some of the double cheeseburger you just ate, plus you get to make someone's day by sacrificing the close spot!
- Redecorate! – You know that ugly sofa that has been beckoning to be moved to the garage? MOVE IT! Moving furniture is a great way to get a workout that moves your body in patterns it's not used to. You may get sore, but your living room is going to look great.
- Go Grocery Shopping – Did you know pushing a grocery cart for 45 minutes burns 117 calories? Just make sure you load it down with foods that will help you reach your goal, not push you farther away from it!
- Try Game Night – Scrabble is an easy example of how you can burn calories doing anything. If played for 2 hours, not only will you have a better vocabulary, but you will have burned 200 calories!

Youtube.com/educationSeptember 22, 2011 8:45 am Professional Growth
In my last post I mentioned the thousands of video clips that a teacher might find helpful as they prepare lessons. Yesterday I discovered a link that sounded promising,
When I followed the link, I saw that You Tube had a whole new"site" devoted to education. Most of the videos I glanced at seemed to focus on lectures and so I googled the new site and learned that it has been launched just two days ago. I have pasted information below from Digital Education that will give you more information:
Following similar league, a new mode of learning has emerged, all thanks to YouTube. They don't offer degrees but then they don't charge tuition either. Colleges and universities across the United States are offering free courses online on virtually every subject imaginable, including videotaped lectures by some of their most distinguished professors.
Video-sharing site YouTube recently created a hub called YouTube EDU at youtube.com/edu for the more than 100 US colleges and universities offering free online learning. Among the thousands of videos on YouTube EDU are the celebrated classroom theatrics of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) physics professor Walter Lewin, whose clips have been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
Other leading institutions of higher education posting videos to YouTube include the University of California at Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and Yale.
Interested in dentistry? Then the YouTube channel of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry may be the place for you, serving up a total of 426 videos. The courses offered on YouTube EDU are free and not for credit but the number of schools offering online classes which count towards a degree is booming.
As I "dug" a little deeper, I discovered that by searching for our CTE Program Areas, i.e. Ag, Marketing, Business,Health Science (Medicine), etc. I could find lectures that contained video clips specific to topics, charts and diagrams that could be very useful. Happy Hunting!

Praise With Punch: Why More Than a Thank You Matters
In an industry known for high turnover rates, employee retention is an ongoing goal and challenge for most companies. While many health and fitness professionals are still counting on paychecks and benefits to define their level of job satisfaction, research shows us that more employees are also looking for an employer who fosters a team atmosphere, assigns value to all employees and provides consistent acknowledgement of a job well done.
One of the easiest ways for supervisors to influence employee retention positively is to provide meaningful praise to employees who demonstrate consistent performance. The power of praise is compounded when it's delivered in a timely and creative manner.
Saying "thank you" to employees who exceed your expectations is a good start, but clearly outlining the reasons why they deserve thanks is invaluable. Saying "great job" is a nice effort, but explaining why the accomplishment was great is a much better way to acknowledge employee performance.
"Praise With Punch" is not hard to implement nor is it expensive. It is a simple retention concept that works best when it's genuine.
The key to delivering "Praise With Punch" is threefold:
Make It Timely
As soon as you notice something worth praising, praise it! Make this praise a priority. Waiting too long to say "thank you" or "good job" can deflate the meaning of the praise faster than a puncture wound can deflate a Resist-A-Ball. Timely recognition is crucial; a "thank you" given after the fact can often seem forced rather than sincere.
Be Creative
A verbal acknowledgement of a job well done is always nice; however, a little creativity can go a long way to strengthen the relationship you have with your employee(s). Try handwriting a greeting card or creating a certificate of recognition. How about sending an e-mail greeting card? Take it a step further by including a $5 gift certificate for lunch. A pair of discounted movie tickets or a complimentary massage with your on-site massage therapist is a terrific touch if you have the budget.
For those without money to spend, consider mentioning the accomplishments of your employee to the company's senior management. Request that a member of the senior management team call the employee to congratulate her efforts and loyalty to the company mission. Whatever the situation, there is a unique way within your capabilities to do more than just say "thank you."
Use Description
This recommendation is by far the most important. "Thank you" on its own is just a pair of words that are easily spoken and soon forgotten.
What are you thankful for? What made you want to say "thank you" in the first place? Was it the way your employee exceeded your expectations? Was it the way she saved the day by being extra flexible with scheduling? Was it because she stayed after work three nights in a row to put the final touches on the health fair poster? Maybe you want to say "thank you" because your entry-level employee noticed a conflict in the appointment book and took the initiative to straighten things out before a problem occurred.
Whatever reasons you have to deliver praise, be specific about what it is. For example: "Marissa, I wanted to send you a quick thank you for putting so much effort into the incentive program flyers you designed. They were really eye-catching! I especially liked the colorful formatting and layout design. You have exceeded my expectations again!" If given a choice between receiving similar words or a quickly stated "thank you," which would make you feel more valued?
The concept of "Praise With Punch" is not difficult to grasp. It is simply an old idea with new flair. It is easy to implement, inexpensive and limitless.
When used by managers consistently, "Praise With Punch" becomes a powerful retention initiative. It fosters growth and development, and instills in employees of all levels a sense of contribution and value. Supervisor/employee relationships are strengthened and company loyalty is kindled. Considering all of the benefits of delivering "Praise With Punch" and the ease at which is can be implemented, what are you waiting for?

If using charcoal, pile the charcoal in a pyramid. Ignite the charcoal with lighter fluid. Once the top portion of the charcoal has turned white, spread the charcoal out evenly using a fireproof tool such as a metal rake or shovel. Spread the coals over half of the bottom of the grill, leaving the other half empty. (If using a gas grill, only ignite one side of the burners.)
Evenly spread the meat seasoning over both sides of the ribs. Let stand in the refrigerator unless using right away. Place the ribs over the area where there is no charcoal or the side of the grill that is not hot. Cover and turn every 20 minutes for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours. For the last 10 minutes of cooking, baste ribs with the barbecue sauce and cover again. Turn the ribs over and baste again. Do this every 2 minutes.
While on grill, cut the ribs up individually and baste 1 last time.

English Premier League Calls for a Carlsberg
Danish brewer Carlsberg A/S is making a big marketing push for its main beer brand, having inked a sponsorship deal Tuesday with English soccer's Premier League to be its first ever official beer — much like Budweiser for the World Cup and Heineken for the Champions League in Europe.
Carlsberg knows the value of these sponsorship deals. In 1988, it became the official sponsor of the UEFA European Championships that takes place every four years. The soccer tournament is credited with contributing to a 13% rise in Carlsberg sales in the first half of 2012.
Carlsberg's logo has also adorned the shirts of Liverpool FC from 1992 until 2010 and has been one of Arsenal FC's official partners since 2011.
Carlsberg is betting its latest deal will leave a lasting taste across its growth markets. The sponsorship taps the huge – and growing – popularity of English football in Asia, where England's top tier and its international stars have a massive fan base amid extensive television coverage and marketing. Asia has remained one of few bright spots for Carlsberg, which saw revenue in the region soar 32% in the three months ending Sept. 30, compared with an 8% rise in total group sales.
Carlsberg reckons sponsoring the league will provide more than a short term sales boost every four years that the Euros does. Not all beers have their logos broadcast when champions Manchester City play cross-city rivals United, or Liverpool play Everton in the Merseyside derby.
The downside, of course, is the cost. Last year's Euro championship, held in Poland and Ukraine over the summer, was expensive enough to have a significant impact on Carlsberg's earnings, the company said in its second quarter earnings in August. However, while Carlsberg didn't disclose what it paid for its three year deal with England's Premier League, a spokesman said it's far less comparable with what it spends on the Euro championships.
That probably calls for a Carlsberg.

I love tops with logos, just because they always stand out and add something different t every outfit! I just had to have this one, the colour is perfect and of course you can never go wrong with a "Celfie" top. Pastel colours and white are the perfect combination in my opinion and I just love the Spring/Summer vibe this outfit has!

Workers at the Faurecia plant in Tuscaloosa voted against joining the United Auto Workers on Thursday.
Workers at the Faurecia plant in Tuscaloosa voted against joining the United Auto Workers on Thursday.
The workers rejected the union by a vote of 86-62. The UAW challenged nine ballots, said Tom Scroggins, an attorney who represented a group of employees who did not favor unionizing the plant.
The Faurecia plant, located in the Airport Industrial Park, makes seating for the Mercedes-Benz auto plant in Vance. It is one of two plants that the French auto parts supplier has in Tuscaloosa County.
Thursday's vote marks a reversal of UAW fortunes from last year when workers at the Faurecia plant in Cottondale voted by a two-to-one margin to join the union. That organizing effort was followed up later in the year when the UAW succeeded in organizing the Johnson Controls plant in Cottondale. Johnson Controls also is an automotive parts supplier.
Scroggins, a member of the Tanner & Guin law firm in Tuscaloosa, said the workers he represented "were very concerned about the future of their plant and their jobs because of the history that the UAW had on jobs of the Big Three (automakers) in Detroit," where General Motors and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy and had to be bailed out by the federal government in 2009.
He said the workers felt they would do better without the union.
The workers who cast secret ballots in Thursday's election, which was conducted by the National Labor Relations Board, also saw that the UAW was unable to deliver on the promises it made to workers at the Cottondale Faurecia plant last year, Scroggins said.
Messages left for UAW officials requesting comment on Thursday evening were not returned.
The UAW has made organizing automotive plants and automotive suppliers in the South a major priority this year. Among its announced targets is the Mercedes plant in Vance, which has about 3,000 workers.
A UAW-backed drive to get Mercedes workers to sign cards calling for a union vote has been underway for several months. A majority of eligible workers have to sign the cards before the NLRB will schedule an election.
Scroggins said Thursday's vote could affect what happens at Mercedes.
"I think it sends a clear message to the workers at Mercedes-Benz that the UAW is not everything it claims to be," he said.
The UAW now will face a more difficult task in organizing the Mercedes plant, he said.
Dara Longgrear, executive director of the Tuscaloosa County Industrial Development Authority, said employees who voted Thursday had more time to get information from both sides than those who voted in last year's union elections.
With more information, people can make better decisions, he said.
Longgrear, who helped recruit Mercedes to Tuscaloosa County 20 years ago, said previously that a union at Mercedes would make it more difficult to retain and increase quality jobs there and make his job more difficult in attracting industry.
Over the years, the UAW has succeeded in organizing some Tuscaloosa-area automotive supplier plants. In addition to the Faurecia and Johnson Controls plants in Cottondale, the UAW also represents workers at ZF Industries in Tuscaloosa, Inteva in Cottondale and JCIM (also a Johnson Controls plant) in McCalla.
Stacie Tong, director of communications for Faurecia North America, issued a statement Thursday evening that said:
"We are aware of the vote in Tuscaloosa and are pleased that our employees have confirmed our joint effort to make the Tuscaloosa plant a success. We have worked for many years with various unions where our employees choose to be represented, as well as with employees who choose not to be represented.
"Faurecia works proactively with all of its employees to manage its operations consistently and effectively for all its stakeholders, guided by the principles of the Faurecia Excellence System."

XP Security Analysis and Removal
XP Security belongs to the family of Trojan:Win32/FakeRean infecting users running Windows XP. It is installed by a trojan dropper file which is capable of installing a rogue with any one of the names from its stable, with a matching fake Windows Security Center.
It uses any one of the following names: XP Smart Security, XP Smart Security 2010, XP Antimalware 2010, XP Antimalware, XP Security Tool 2010, XP Internet Security, XP Defender Pro, XP Security, XP Security Tool, Antivirus XP.
A rogue security software such as XP Security belongs to a family of software products that call themselves as antivirus, antispyware or registry cleaners and often use deceptive or high pressure sales tactics and deliberate false positives to convince users into buying a license/subscription. They are often repackaged and renamed. They do not actually remove malware instead many of them add more malware of their own. Users should not fall for the fake alerts and must not buy the scareware. They need to be removed immediately from your system.
When ran the Trojan drops a hidden, system file named ave.exe in the %AppData% folder which in turn drops a hidden, system file named y7V11 in multiple directories including %AppData% and %Temp% folders. You may need to enable viewing hidden folders and protected operating system files in folder options control panel to see them. The scareware modifies the registry so that:
- The scareware executes (ave.exe) every time a .exe file is run, an innovative way to autostart with Windows or to restart when killed via TaskManager. It also makes it difficult to install and run security programs.
- Makes Internet Explorer as the default browser and promptly hijacks it to display a scare message whenever it is run.
- Hijacks Firefox normal mode and Firefox safe mode (no addons), so that the scareware starts whenever Firefox is run and a fake alert is displayed.
- Disables Windows Firewall
- Disables genuine Windows Security Center notifications
XP Security Aliases
The trojan dropper is about 204288 bytes in size and is detected by more than 50% of the antivirus engines available at VirusTotal.
This scareware is given the following names by different antivirus software vendors:
- Trojan.Win32.FakeAV!IK
- W32/FakeSec.B.gen!Eldorado
- Win32:MalOb-AL
- Trojan.Win32.FraudPack.aovc
- Win32/Kryptik.DBC
- Mal/EncPk-NP
- Mal/FakeAV-BT

Thank you for clarifying. I'd misunderstood. You explained a lot about TI that I'd never imagined. I'd always thought it was about public speaking, because that's what they say publicly. I hope you share this whole story in one of our forums or active groups. Thanks for the education.
How is it even possible that a FFRF chapter could be corrupted to theism? This experience deserves a discussion in one of the AN forums. You create a forum discussion on the main page, and once you're in the window for creating it there's an option to select the forum you prefer. This hurts my head, like a betrayal.

David Weeks designed these wooden toys to be enjoyed and passed down as enduring classics.
Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries - but not this one! Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles, the Cubebot is a non-traditional take on the toy robot by joining ancient Japanese traditions with contemporary toy culture.
Cubebots's powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and his elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make him impervious to breakage. When it�s time for him to rest, he folds into a perfect cube. An enduring classic that will withstand generations of play.
Recommended for ages 12+.
� made of sustainably harvested new-growth beech
� elastic band joints
� measures 23h x 31w inches at play
� measures 8.5h x 8.5w x 8.5d inches at rest
Usually ships in 1-2 weeks

The Mark Weber Report: Why Diversity Is Not A `Strength,' And Why Some Countries Are Better Off Than Others
June 20, 2012
Is it really true, as American political leaders and educators claim, that "diversity is our strength"? And why are some countries more prosperous, stable, orderly and happier than others? Detailed research by Harvard University scholar Robert Putnam, and others, shows that ethnic-racial "diversity" actually weakens a society. In more diverse societies, levels of trust are not only lower between groups, but even among members of the same group. Ethnically cohesive societies are more prosperous, trusting, orderly, safe and healthy than those that are diverse.
