After two air strikes inside Syria in the space of three days, Israel remains intent on targeting advanced weapons there before they can be transferred to Hizballah in Lebanon, Israeli military officials tell TIME. "It's not over," says one senior officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Israel has not officially acknowledged either of the strikes. "This is not the last incident."
The savage civil war inside Syria has both emboldened Israel to act against existing threats and created new ones. Officials are concerned that as the Syrian state devolves into chaos, sophisticated weapons not previously available to Hizballah will make their way across the border to Lebanon, altering the military equation between Israel and the well-armed Shi'ite militia sponsored by Iran and aided by the Syrian government.
One such weapon is the Fateh-110 missile, which Israel targeted in warehouses at Damascus International Airport on Thursday night and at the sprawling military compound in the Jamraya district outside the capital on Sunday night. Made by Iran, the Fateh, which means conqueror in Persian, has a range of 300 km (190 miles), easily enough to reach Israel's major population centers from Lebanon. More worrisome, according to Israeli officials, is that the Fateh is highly accurate — able to deliver 600 kg (1,300 lb.) of high explosives within accuracy of 200 m (650 ft.), close enough to endanger strategic targets such as power plants, or the Defense Ministry headquarters in central Tel Aviv. (By contrast almost all of the other estimated 40,000 missiles already in Hizballah's control are unguided.) Secondary explosions visible in videos posted online from Syria indicated the weekend air strikes struck munitions stockpiles.

Israeli pilots also targeted warehouses suspected of containing Yakhont shore-to-sea cruise missiles. Made by Russia, the supersonic missiles also known as P-800 Oniks travel at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound, and would endanger Israeli warships, as well the country's offshore natural-gas platforms located near Lebanon. Israeli officials worry about the consequences of either weapon reaching Hizballah or falling into the hands of extremist Islamists fighting to depose Syrian President Bashar Assad, which include militant groups formally aligned with al-Qaeda.
"We prefer they burn," the Israeli military official tells TIME. "That way nobody will be able to use them."
In the past, Israel felt constrained from launching overt military strikes on Syria for fear of provoking retaliation. When Israel sent F-16s to destroy a nuclear reactor in the Syrian desert in 2007, it took pains to keep the operation secret — it took a week for the first reports to filter out — for fear of forcing Assad to respond in order to save face, according to reporting by David Makovsky in the New Yorker.
But a civil war that has gone on for more than two years has changed Israel's calculus. Israeli officials are betting that Assad will not retaliate, both because his forces have their hands full already and because any strike against Israel would risk Israeli counterstrikes that might seriously degrade his advantages in the civil war, like airpower. "They don't want to open a new front that might be the last one they open," says one Israeli military official. "They would suffer a knockout punch." One measure of Israel's confidence was the whereabouts of its Prime Minister: Benjamin Netanyahu left on Sunday for a long-scheduled state visit to Beijing.
Still, in the wake of the strikes, Israeli forces went on heightened alert. A TIME correspondent hiking on Mount Meron in the Golan Heights heard the wail of sirens sounding several times Saturday morning on a forward Israel Defense Forces air base. Military sources said the sirens summoned all personnel to action stations, apparently in readiness for any military reprisal from the Syrian side.

"The question everybody is asking today is, 'Is there going to be a war?''' says Benedetta Berti, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, a think tank associated with Tel Aviv University and heavily staffed with former Israeli security officials. Berti said she heard the same question after Israeli jets struck inside Syria in late January, destroying a convoy carrying advanced SA-17 antiaircraft missiles toward Lebanon, damaging a chemical-and-biological-weapons research center and killing a senior Hizballah commander, intelligence sources tell TIME.
"At the end of January my answer was no, and that's my answer this time, but it's a lot less confident," says Berti. "The Israelis are very clear that they don't want to get involved [in the civil war] and this is very low cost. Assad is busy. But if you push it too much, eventually some sort of reaction will have to come."
Israeli military officials say they will likely keep launching attacks, partly because Iran has stepped up the pace at which it's arming Syria and Hizballah. "They've increased the number of shipments lately," one says. But the strikes are also driven by Israel's determination to act when it has actionable intelligence. "The problem is intelligence doesn't always arrive smoothly and on time," says one military official. The official says "some" earlier-generation Fateh-110s reached Hizballah in the past, before Israel could act.
"It's always a balance: What's the cost?" says Berti. "Assad was always risk-averse." But when there were credible reports that Scud missiles had traveled from Syria to Hizballah — and even rumors of chemical weapons, Berti says — Israel took no overt action.
"I think what's changed today is there's really this perception that central control is breaking down [inside Syria]," says Berti. In other words, concerned parties still know where to look for the weapons that worry them most. That could change if Assad's forces are overrun, or simply give up their positions. "Then we'll have to worry that there is no address," says Berti.

Mental Exercise Helps Maintain Some Seniors' Thinking Skills
Certain mental exercises can offset some of the expected decline in older adults' thinking skills and show promise for maintaining cognitive abilities needed to do everyday tasks such as shopping, making meals and handling finances, according to a new study. The research, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published in the Dec. 20, 2006, Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that some of the benefits of short-term cognitive training persisted for as long as five years.
The Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and Vital Elderly, or ACTIVE, Study is the first randomized, controlled trial to demonstrate long-lasting, positive effects of brief cognitive training in older adults. However, testing indicated that the training did not improve the participants' ability to tackle everyday tasks, and more research is needed to translate the findings from the laboratory into interventions that prove effective at home.
The ACTIVE trial was funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), both components of NIH. Sherry L. Willis, Ph.D., of Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pa., and co-authors report the findings on behalf of ACTIVE investigators at the study's six sites: Hebrew SeniorLife, Boston; Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis; Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; Pennsylvania State University; University of Alabama at Birmingham; and University of Florida, Gainesville (in collaboration with Wayne State University, Detroit), and the data coordinating center at the New England Research Institutes, Watertown, Mass.
"This large trial found that community-dwelling seniors who received cognitive training had less of a decline in certain thinking skills than their peers who did not have training. The study addresses a very important hypothesis — that interventions can be designed to maintain cognitive function," says NIA Director Richard J. Hodes, M.D. "The challenge now is to further examine these interventions and others to see how they can be employed in real-world settings."
"Cognitive decline is known to precede loss of functional ability in older adults. It affects everyday activities such as driving or following instructions on a medicine bottle," says NINR Director Patricia A. Grady, Ph.D., R.N. "Research to identify effective ways of delaying this decline is important because it may help individuals, and our aging citizenry, maintain greater independence as they grow older."
The ACTIVE Study included 2,802 adults aged 65 and older who were living independently and had normal cognitive and functional status at the beginning of the study. Participants were randomly assigned to four groups. Three groups took part in training that targeted a specific cognitive ability — memory, reasoning or speed of processing. The fourth group received no cognitive training.
People in the three intervention groups attended up to 10 training sessions lasting 60 to 75 minutes each, over a five- to six-week time period. The memory group learned strategies for remembering word lists and sequences of items, text, and story ideas and details. The reasoning group learned strategies for finding the pattern in a letter or word series and identifying the next item in a series. The speed-of-processing group learned ways to identify an object on a computer screen at increasingly brief exposures, while quickly noting where another object was located on the screen.
After the initial training, 60 percent of those who completed the initial training took part in 75-minute "booster" sessions designed to maintain improvements gained from the initial sessions.
The investigators tested the participants at baseline, after the intervention and annually over five years. They found:
- Immediately after the initial training, 87 percent of the speed-training group, 74 percent of the reasoning group and 26 percent of the memory group showed improvement in the skills taught.
- After five years, people in each group performed better on tests in their respective areas of training than did people in the control group. The reasoning-training and speed-training groups who received booster training had the greatest benefit.
"The improvements seen after the training roughly counteract the degree of decline in cognitive performance that we would expect to see over a seven- to 14-year period among older people without dementia," says Dr. Willis.
The researchers also looked at the training's effects on participants' everyday lives. After five years, all three intervention groups reported less difficulty than the control group in tasks such as preparing meals, managing money and doing housework. Only the effect of reasoning training on self-reported performance of daily tasks was statistically significant. Those who received speed-of-processing training and follow-up booster training scored better on how quickly and accurately they could find items on a pantry shelf, make change, read medicine dosing instructions, place telephone calls and react to road traffic signs.
"Beyond middle age, people worry about their mental sharpness getting 'rusty.' This study offers hope that cognitive training may be useful," notes Richard Suzman, Ph.D., director of the NIA's Behavioral and Social Research Program, which sponsored the work. "ACTIVE has shown that relatively brief targeted cognitive exercises can produce durable changes in the skills taught. I would now like to see studies aimed at producing more generalized changes, perhaps through more intensive and broader interventions."

Throwback Thursday: The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery
Editor's note: Review originally posted 07/10/09; game originally released in 1995
Jane Jensen is the best storyteller to write computer games. No one can deny it or say someone else is better. If you believe Take 2's Black Dahlia has a storyline "that blends reality and fiction in perfect rapport," then you just have to repent and pray to be forgiven … and play Gabriel Knight 2 to see what a strong storyline should be like.
I played this game when it first came out, around 1996, and I remember going "ick" when buying it, because there was never a time in my life when I was interested in werewolf stories. I don't find them scary, involving, or even worth the time I would need to spend on them. But when I got home and put the CD in, I got unbelievably caught up in the game. But that was not all. The thing is … I've been an adventure game player since 1987. I was brought up with the misadventures of Leisure Suit Larry and the gripping atmosphere of Police Quest. So I do have some background of adventure games. But never in my life had I seen such a compellingly detailed story, told in such novel ways. But, again, that was not all …
What Jane Jensen and her team did was create a completely different world for the player to roam in. So the werewolf story is actually nothing more than a MacGuffin, in the Hitchcockian sense, for a historical journey through Bavaria. I believe this is the quality that makes this game a timeless classic. Read my lips: "time-less" … You can't use that word for any other game. Or any other computer-related product for that matter … Everything fades away in the immense pace of this hasty industry called the computer industry. But not GK2. This is one marvel of a game that is groundbreaking, trendsetting, avant garde, and, most importantly, made for adult minds (no, I'm not talking about raunchiness). Let me put it this way: They actually composed an opera for this game that would be good enough to pose as a lost one by Wagner.
On with the story: After all that happened in the first game, Sins of the Fathers, Gabriel has now moved in to the huge family mansion called Schloss Ritter in Rittersberg, Germany, not leaving his famed writers block behind. A group of people led by a couple called the Hubers from Munich come to him, saying that a little girl has been attacked by a wolf and that this is job for the Schattenjäger. Gabriel accepts and goes to the Hubers' house to investigate. Meanwhile, Grace, still in that dreadful bookshop in New Orleans, decides to go to Rittersberg to join Gabriel but sees that he's gone. So she stays in Schloss Ritter with Gabriel's new German assistant, Gerde.
There are six CDs and six chapters, and you play as Gabriel and Grace interchangeably. Your role as Gabriel is to walk up and down Munich, have chats with the family lawyer, join a few clubs, woo women, violate any rule and logic, and mainly be a stupid male chauvinist pig. Grace's part is a lot more interesting: to do research in and around Rittersberg, visit museums, meet professors, tackle weirdos, and have catfights with Gerde. That, of course, is more of an outline than a summary.
When it comes to the FMV issues: The blue-screen technique was used for GK2, and it was done a lot better than the way it was done in the original Phantasmagoria. But I still find Phantasmagoria 2's use of actual set pieces a lot better (don't hate me for this). Because, even though the overall effect is quite good, some shots in GK2 are just screaming, "Guys! We're shooting this in front of blue screens and this is not actually Bavaria!" Videos can be big or small according to the option you choose (check the first two screenshots above). This was very helpful when it first came out because my computer would cause problems when playing big movies. The big and small movies are not really different: When you choose to play big movies, blank lines are inserted in small movies to make them look big, in the usual FMV tradition.
Acting is quite good overall. My favorites are Joanna Takahashi as Grace, Andrea Martin as Gerde, and Frederick Solms as Übergrau. Dean Erickson's portrayal of Gabriel is adequately annoying; Gabriel is at his most stupid and arrogant in this game, more so than in any other of the series. By the way, that Brad Greenquist guy who acts as Georg Immerding (the Wagner fan in the museum) was Victor Pascow, the friendly ghost with brain protruding out of his skull in the original Pet Semetary. Actually, all these people have done quite interesting stuff–just pay a quick visit to Internet Movie Database to learn fun trivia like Peter Lucas's real name (which is Piotr Andrzejewski, would you believe it?) and that Andrea Martin's roots are actually Turkish (ooh! a countrywoman!).
Of course, even GK2 has negative points. The thing that comes to mind in an instant is the terrible action puzzle in the end. Maybe you won't find it annoying or time-consuming, but I truly find any kind of arcade or combat in an adventure game very bothersome. The other thing is the 3D-rendered wolves … They look absolutely terrible; nothing more to say. And one more thing: Was anyone actually surprised to see Von Glower is the bad guy? When he first appears at the end of Chapter 1, it is unbelievably obvious that Gabriel is gonna be on this guy's neck at the end of Chapter 6.
But no matter …
This is a very gripping game that is one of a kind. I just can't say enough good things about it. So just go and buy it, play it, recommend it.

The "learn-by-doing approach" to business leadership is a foundational principle of at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. The rigorous curriculum highlights analytics, action-based learning, and a commitment to sustainability and business ethics throughout a two-year program that features a core curriculum in the first year and customized electives in the second. "The time commitment is huge and the payoff is great," so MBA students should "be ready to dedicate yourself to studies and commit to your fellow students." Michigan Ross "has it figured out" and "everything works like a well-oiled machine"; even so, the dean is "highly visible and makes strides to listen about the student experience." At every turn, the administration "makes every effort to make a great experience for students and improve the school in meaningful ways."
Life at Michigan Ross is "a mix of balancing academics, recruiting, and socializing": "You're constantly surrounded by your classmates, whether it's working on group projects, discussing recent lectures, or just hanging out." The University of Michigan is a formidable institution itself, and the Michigan Ross "encourages cross-program collaboration" with the university so that "the learning opportunities are unparalleled." The first-year MAP experience in which students consult for real companies for seven full weeks in lieu of classes is "an extraordinary opportunity to develop real skills in the real world while building strong industry connections." The school has "so many top tier programs" that students have access "to world class professionals and teachers with backgrounds from nearly every industry." Every professor has experience teaching their classes, "knows the material inside and out," and "brings relevant new material in as appropriate."

February 8, 2011: Toy Shopping In Hong KongI managed to get in and out of Chicago's O'Hare airport last week right before the snow started, which meant that I made it home from Hong Kong just a few hours late and didn't have to face the snowpocalypse that canceled far, far too many flights. The trip was fantastic -- a lot more fun than last year's visit to the city, but that's because this time I was there for vacation and not meetings -- and I'll no doubt be posting photos to Flickr for several more days. And on top of the pics I'll be posting toy reviews to battlegrip.com for months to come, but instead of talking about what I'll be doing, I'd like to take a little time to talk about what I did in Hong Kong. Specifically, I'd like to talk about toy shopping in Hong Kong. Causeway Bay Wander down Sugar Street in Causeway Bay and you'll find a large building named the Causeway Bay Commercial Building. Step inside and take the elevator to the 16th floor, where you'll encounter toy heaven; the shop (I can't remember the name, but you can't miss it) carries everything from unreleased Transformers toys to MIB toys of the sixties and seventies. Last year when I visited Hong Kong I went to this shop twice, and this year was no different; even after four visits to the shop I think I've uncovered maybe 25% of what's hiding in the display cases and on the dusty shelves. This photo I took last year is an example of what's in the cases. It's an amazing shop, and if you visit only one toy store in Hong Kong, this is the one to hit. Just be sure to plan to spend a few hours and don't expect to escape dust-free. Also on Sugar Street, just a little down the block from the Causeway Bay Commercial Building, you'll find a basement shop that has more Japanese toys and 12-inch scale action figures than I've ever seen in one place. I don't know the name of the building, but just search in every basement on Sugar Street (it's short) and you're sure to find it. Actually, there was a total of three stores in the basement, but only two were open while I was there. Maybe you'll be lucky and that third shop -- which had some great window displays -- will be open when you visit. Mong Kok Across the harbor -- I suggest taking the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui and walking north on Nathan Street -- find the intersection of Sai Yeung Choi and Dundas streets, and go north on Sai Yeung Choi until you spot the CTMA Centre on your left. Go inside and take the maze of escalators and stairways either up or down; this shopping center is loaded with toy stores, including the official Hot Toys shop and several others that were so small I had to back out after walking in; that's right, there wasn't enough room to turn around. There are fantastic deals here and at most of the shops the friendly folk behind the counters were ready to make deals. This center has the best selection of blind boxed toys I found in the city. I could have spent an entire day digging through the center for surprises. After walking out of the CTMA Centre, if you look straight across the street and up one floor you'll spot a massive display window for a store called "Animate." The stairs are tough to find, but once you work your way to the second floor you'll find more robot toys than you can handle. Trust me, there are a lot of robot toys here. The deals aren't the greatest, but if you dig through the lower shelves you might find a gem. I took a photo of the display window last year for everyone who wants to get an idea of what the shop looks like from the street. And once you finish at Animate, keep walking north and prepare yourself for the Hong Kong Ladies' Market. It's one block to your right when walking north, but as long as you follow the crowd you'll find this outdoor market where bootleg toys and games (and lots of stranger things) are waiting for you. This is a great market; you really get the Hong Kong feeling as you force your way through the crowds and barter at each of the stalls. North Point Back across the harbor (if it's too late the ferry will be closed and you'll have to take the Hong Kong MTR), go to North Point and head to the Java Road exit. After you take the steps up to the street level, turn left and look right for a McDonald's. Head directly towards it and you'll find a shopping center that includes a stationery and toy shop called Wonderland. Amazingly, this large store was just minutes from our hotel and it had some amazing bargains on robot and mecha toys. I was grabbing great toys for less than $5 US -- including a great transforming robot toy named Construction King that I reviewed as soon as I got home. The next time I'm in Hong Kong I'm going to this store first and will completely load a suitcase with robots and mecha. I accidentally found this shop and, in the end, it might be my favorite Hong Kong toy store because it has just so many weird things and great prices. Everywhere Else Don't think that there aren't toys in other parts of the city. Capsule toys (known as gashapon toys) are at every 7-11 and on almost every street corner -- not to mention at one of the largest tourist traps where I found this insane assortment of capsule machines. These aren't like the capsule toys here in the US; no, most of these are either really neat robots and mecha, or they're odd things like food and shoes. In almost every corner you can find toys, from stalls on the street to corners of the grocery stores. It's a real treat for toy collectors. Whew, no wonder I'm tired from vacation. But as I already mentioned, New York Toy Fair is coming and I'm really looking forward to that trip. I have no doubt that I'll also be toy shopping while I'm in New York. After all, Toy Tokyo is in NY and it's one of those great toy stores that every toy collector must visit . . . at least a dozen times each trip to New York. I can't wait to get there and see their new shop! -- Phil Reed Share this post! |

Criminal Law Tools
Criminal law encompasses a wide range of issues. Here, we have compiled a glossary of some common criminal law terms.
Preparing to Meet With a Criminal Defense Attorney
When you meet with a criminal defense attorney for the first time, it is important to be prepared for the meeting so that you can have a productive meeting and cover all the legal issues you wish to address. If you have been charged with a crime, you likely have many questions for your lawyer. This article provides a brief overview of how to prepare for a meeting with a criminal defense attorney.
Fourth Amendment Rights and Search Warrants
The Fourth Amendment protects individuals against unreasonable searches and seizures. Generally, for a search to be considered reasonable and lawful, the police must have a search warrant. However, there are several important exceptions to this requirement. This article provides a brief overview of Fourth Amendment rights, search warrants and situations in which a search warrant is not required.

We've written in the past about how Azure Security Center helps detect malicious activity on compromised VMs, including a post detailing a Bitcoin mining attack and one on an outbound DDoS attack. In many cases, attackers use a set of malicious tools to carry out these and other actions on a compromised machine. However, our team of security researchers have identified a new trend where attackers are using good application to carry out malicious actions. This blog will discuss the use of known hacker tools and those tools that are not nefarious in nature, but are being used maliciously, and how Azure Security Center aids in detecting their use.
Hacker tools aid in exploitation
Generally, the first category of tools we see after a brute force attack are the Port and IP address scanning tools. Most of these tools were not written maliciously, but because of their ease of use, an attacker can scan IP ranges and ports to find vulnerable machines that they can target.
One of the more frequent port scanning tool that we come across is KportScan 3.1, which has the ability to scan for open ports as well as local ports. It has a wide range of uses, including working with any port as well as individual addresses and IP ranges. It is multithreaded (1200 flows), consuming very few resources on compromised machines, and the best part is that the tool is free. After running a scan, results are stored by default to a file called "results.txt". In the example below, KportScan is configured to return all IP's with the ranges specified that have port 3389 open to the internet.
Other scanners that we see dropped on machines after they have been compromised include Masscan, xDedicIPScanner, and D3vSpider. These tend to be less frequent, but are notable.
Masscan claims to be one of the fastest Internet port scanners out there. It proports to scan the entire internet in under 6 minutes with your own network bandwidth being the only gating factor. While Linux is its primary platform, it does run on many other operating systems including Windows and Mac OS X. The below command will scan for open ports on 3389 where the subnet range is 22.214.171.124 to 22.214.171.124, which is 512k worth of addresses. The results will be stored in a XML file called good.xml.
xDedicIPScanner is another port scanner which is based on Masscan. It has many of the same capabilities as Masscan, but does not require a user to learn Linux as it is GUI based. Some of its features include, scanning of CIDR blocks, automatic loading of country range`s, small foot print, and ability to scan multiple ports or range of ports. It also has some application dependencies to run, they include Winpcap and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. It also requires Windows 7 or higher. From our observations, xDedicIPScanner appears to be primarily used maliciously. The below example shows a country range being loaded in the tool for scanning.
Finally, Pastebin D3vSpider is also a scanner we've seen often. D3vSpider is not a port scanner, instead it scans Pastebin repositories which are popular for storing and sharing text (including stolen passwords, usernames, and network data). The tool's output is based on the user's input search criteria, and provides information including user names and their passwords. The example below shows a scan resulting in 745 user names and passwords for a single month, this can then be exported to a txt file for future use, with other tools. For example, it could be used with NLBrute, which is a known RDP Brute Force tool.
Recently, we have begun to see the use of messaging applications being used to drop other malicious and non- malicious tools. The messaging applications are widely used and not malicious in nature. They tend to be cloud-based messaging services, with support for a broad base of devices including both desktop systems and mobile devices. Users of the product can exchange messages, and files of any type with or without end-to-end-encryption, as well as sync the messages across all the user's devices. Some of these messaging services even allow messages to be "self-destructed" after delivery, so they are no longer seen on any device. One of the features of these messaging applications is known as "secret" chat. The users exchange encryption keys and after the exchange, they are verified and can then communicate freely without the possibility of being tracked. These features and many more, have made these messaging services a favored addition to some attackers' tool boxes.
Their ability to easily drop files on to other machines appears to be one of the main reason attackers use this program. In fact, we started to see the presences of these tool on comprised machines as early as December of 2016. At first, we dismissed this as coincidence, but after further investigation we started seeing known hacker tools (NLBrute, Dubrute, and D3vSpider) show up on compromised machines after the installation of these messaging applications.
Since, these tools are capable of synchronizing messages across all the user's devices, anyone that is part of the conversation can at a later time revisit a message to download a file or a picture.
Another method we have seen used is messaging Channels being created for the primary purpose of broadcasting messages to an unlimited number of subscribers. Channels can be either publicly available or private. Public Channels can be joined by anyone. However, for private Channels you need to be added or receive an invite to participate. Due to the encryption that these applications deploy, we see very little activity other than the machine joining a chat Channel, example of what is seen is below:
While the joining to a Channel is of interest, the files that appear on the machine after this is what is most interesting. These tools range from Crack tools, RDP brute force tools, and encryption tools which allow attackers to hide their traffic and obscure the source IP addresses of their activity. Below is an example of what we saw on a host directly after connecting to a private Channel.
What's next:
We've presented some of the more frequently seen tools favored by the attackers, and used on virtual machines in Azure. These tools were, for the most part, created for legitimate usage without malicious intent, however, because of their functionality and ease of use, they are now being used maliciously.
While the presence of any one of these tools may not be reason for alarm, a closer look into other factors will help to determine if they are being used maliciously or not. For example, if we see more than one of them on an Azure virtual machine, the likelihood that the machine is compromised is much greater, and further investigation may be required. Seeing the tool's usage in the context of other activity on the Azure machine is also very important in determining if these tools are being used maliciously. Ian Hellen's blog on Azure Security Center Context Alerts describes how much of the tedious security investigation work is automated by Security Center and relevant context is provided about what else was happening on the Azure machine during and immediately before suspicious activity is detected. Tools like KportScan, Masscan, XDedicIPScanner, D3vSpider and malicious messaging services will be detected and alerted on by Azure Security Center Context Alerts.
From the number of incidents investigated, the usage of legitimate tools for malicious purposes appears to be an upward trend. In response, the Azure Security Center's team of analysts, investigators, and developers are continuing to actively hunt and watch for these types of indicators of compromise (many of which are simply not detected by some AV signatures). We currently detect all of these tools discussed in this blog, and as we find more we are adding them to our Azure Security Center detections.
Recommended remediation and mitigation steps
Microsoft recommends investigating the attack campaign via a review of available log sources, host-based analysis, and if needed, forensic analysis to help build a picture of the compromise. In the case of Azure 'Infrastructure as a Service' (IaaS) virtual machines (VMs), several features are present to facilitate the collection of data including the ability to attach data drives to a running machine and disk imaging capabilities.
In cases where the victim machine cannot be confirmed clean, or a root cause of the compromise cannot be identified, Microsoft recommends backing up critical data and migrating to a new virtual machine. It is also recommended that the virtual machines are hardened prior to bringing them on line to prevent compromise or re-infection. However, with the understanding that this sometimes cannot be done immediately, we recommend implementing the following remediation steps:
- Review Applications: In cases where there are individual programs that may or may not be used maliciously, it is good practice to review the applications found on the host with the administrators and users. If it is determined that there are applications that may not have been installed by a known user(s), the recommendation would be to take appropriate action, as determined by your administrators.
- Review Azure Security Center Recommendations: Review and address any security vulnerabilities identified by Security Center, including OS configurations that do not align with the recommended rules for the most hardened version of the OS (for example, do not allow passwords to be saved), machines with missing security updates or without antimalware protection, exposed endpoints, and more.
- Defender Scan: Run a full antimalware scan using Microsoft Antimalware or another solution, which can flag potential malware.
- Avoid Use of Cracked Software: Using cracked software introduces unwanted risk of malware and other threats that are associated with pirated software. Microsoft highly recommends not using of cracked software and following legal software policy as recommended by their respective organization.

Top 5 Healthy Smoothie Recipes for Weight Loss
A smoothie is a blended sweetened drink made mostly from fresh fruits.
Others are made from vegetables too. In some cases, a smoothie can have cookies, raisins, peanut butter or chocolate. Yes, they're sweet and cold and fruity and delicious, but the best thing about smoothies is that if you have a blender and two minutes to spare, you can make one in a jiffy. Once you do, you've got just -about a perfect snack.
Most smoothies are fruit based, which automatically makes them an excellent source of the disease-fighting nutrient. Many of these fruits, especially the tart ones like citrus, kiwi and strawberries are packed with tons of vitamin C, and others like the brownish-yellow -colored apricots, cantaloupe and mangoes are a powerhouse of beta-carotene, another strong antioxidant. Still other compounds like the quercetin, a flavonoid or a phytochemical that is found in grape skins, are powerful protectors in their right, helping to fight heart disease. The veggies most often used in smoothies, like carrots and tomatoes, are well-known for their nutritional punch. For the weight watchers and conscious diet aficionados, smoothies are a great meal substitute. Provided that there are no contraindications to having this as a food substitute, a dieter can surely incorporate smoothies into his or her meal plan.
Weight loss cocktail smoothies became very popular in the 1990's and 2000's. They have been widely available in almost all cafes and coffee shops for some time now and are even accessible in grocery stores which come in pre-bottled versions. What makes them so delectable, aside from the nutritional content, is the way these are prepared. All sorts of fixings can be placed on top of the smoothie such as peanuts, chocolates, cereals, marshmallows, chocolate cream, and lots of other mouth-watering decadences. For dieters, though, these delicious toppings are substituted by organic and dried fruits such as raisins, plums, walnuts, and herbs which are used on top of the smoothie as a garnish.
Originally, the smoothie began its popularity in the 1970's.
It was coined by the hippies in the late 60's, but it surged commercially during the 80's as a sports and fitness supplement-fortified health food. Because consumers at that time wanted to have the same drink as most athletes were drinking at that time, it then became so popular in supermarkets and grocery stores that it eventually became a multi-billion dollar industry.
To date, there are thousands of smoothie companies around the world. Some of the most popular businesses in the United Stated nowadays are Jamba Juice, Smoothie King, and Orange Julius to name but a few.
Making a smoothie part of the marketing strategy of most smoothie companies today is their use of frozen yogurt, which is available in various types and flavors so that those who are watching their weight can opt for the non-fat or low-fat version. Indeed, the smoothie has come a long way regarding how it is prepared and presented. In Asia, smoothies are commonly mixed with tropical fruits like coconut, pineapples, rambutans, and avocados. They have some authentic local vegetables incorporated to the typical mango or banana smoothie, a unique mouth-watering treat that will surely wake up the foreign palate.
If you are looking for a nutritious energy booster drink that is low in fat and is suitable for weight reduction, here are some of the top five super smoothies for weight loss. These will not only fill up your stomach and sweet cravings, but it will also give you all the vitamins and nutrients that you need for energy and muscle build-up.

Charlie Sheen has totally taken over everything. I guess that's "winning."
So here's an update to last week's "Charlie Sheen-inspired Fantasy Baseball Team Names" list.
More on the radar today:
*NFL Combine: It's all about LSU CB Patrick Peterson's 40 time. Will he go under 4.3?
*Thunder sign Kendrick Perkins to an extension: Let's give them at least two NBA titles in the next 5 years. Not just because of Perk, but just the whole combo they have there.
*Tony Parker out 2-4 weeks. As long as he's healthy by the playoffs -- that goes for every injury between now and April -- the Spurs are fine.
*College hoops: Pick Texas in the NCAA Tournament to go beyond the first weekend at your own risk. (And Kansas State is a total wild card for the bracket. Could go Elite Eight; could flame out on the first day. Playing amazing right now, though.)
Meanwhile, everyone suddenly making BYU a No. 1 seed makes my prediction that they'll win the entire tournament much less bold. In a season this wide open? Hell, it's almost conventional. (In fact, I'll bet you RIGHT NOW that BYU is Sports Illustrated's pick to win it all.)
*More NBA: I actually found myself riveted to the end of the Nets-Suns game, in part because I wanted to see Deron Williams in his home debut, in part because I'm a huge Steve Nash fan and in part because... well, it was just a really exciting finish. (The Nets? Really? Progress!)
*UConn retires Maya Moore's number. I think she's the best player in UConn history, which puts her up among the greatest women's college hoops players ever.
*Dancing with the Stars: Hines Ward will be participating. You know how I feel about this -- football players have an unbelievable track record on the show, and it would be an upset if Ward DIDN'T make it to the final 3. (Expect big voting numbers from Steelers Nation.)
*Must-See Video: The American U. hoops team released a trick-shot video that is awesome.
More later. Pop by Quickish -- the true test is on the slow news days, which today definitely is. And yet: Quickish is rolling along with all sorts of interesting recommendations and quick-hit analysis. Give it a try!

Change Language:
224 pages Here are 51 reasons to trust that God kept His promise to preserve His own words. (Read More)
Our world is split between two camps: those with faith, and those with doubt. Right now, those with doubt are outnumbering those with faith. But God only blesses faith. It's "the Christian faith" —not the Christian doubt.
Are there reasons to trust that God kept His promise to preserve His own words?
Yes! There are many.
This book is a small collection of those. People have been finding not only what faith looks like, but have actually made the move and left the doubting Bibles, with their contradictory doctrines, and come to the King James. There they found a consistent message, consistent doctrine, and a consistent faith.
So they can hold the Bible up in their hands and say, "Thus saith the Lord! This is the words of God."
Trusting God's words can change your church!
The result? An increase in:
It's so important to have a preserved standard of God's words. Otherwise, gradual changes over time will so corrupt the text that it will fit neatly into the globalist goal of one-world Bible for the one-world religion. May you find reasons for faith as you read.
(Based upon material researched and presented in separate videos over the years on our YouTube channel)
This 3-book bundle contains David's most popular books on trusting the KJV. Build your faith in God's Word by learning why you can trust the KJV alone and why it is the most accurate translation in English. You save 30%! (Learn More)
Author David W. Daniels tells why he wrote this book:
David Daniels, B.A., M.Div., is trained in Bible and linguistics. After twenty years of searching the Hebrew and Greek scriptures and studying the history of the Bible, he concluded that the King James Bible is God's preserved words in English.

Nathan Fillion Takes the Oath
Entertainment Weekly dubbed him a "Geek God." TV Guide seems to document his every move. Firefly/Serenity fans follow him in any direction he goes. We personally enjoy his tweets.
And all the while, Nathan Fillion contines to go his own way, his boyish charm and "ruggedly handsome" exterior constantly reflecting the enchanting attitude of the proverbial kid-in-a-candy-store.
Make no mistake, Nathan Fillion is having the time of his life.
Fillion's primetime series Castle is enjoying its best ratings, cracking Nielsen's Top 10 as the popular ABC drama culminated its third season. And despite the five-plus-days-a-week grind of 14-plus hours on set, Fillion still finds time to fulfill his own guilty geek pleasures.
Thus, on the Sunday of the Martin Luther King Day holiday weekend in 2010, the Edmonton-born actor could be found recording the voice of Hal Jordan for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, an all-new DC Universe Animated Original Movie coming to Blu-Ray™, DVD, On Demand and for Download June 7, 2011.
Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, and distributed by Warner Home Video, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights weaves six legendary stories of the Green Lantern Corps' rich mythology around preparations for an attack by an ancient enemy. As the battle approaches, Hal Jordan mentors new recruit Arisia in the history of the Green Lantern Corps, telling tales of Avra, Kilowog, Abin Sur, Laira and Mogo. In the end, Arisia must rise to the occasion to help Hal, Sinestro and the entire Green Lantern Corps save the universe from the destructive forces of Krona.
Fillion has starred in several primetime television series, including Desperate Housewives, Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He has also developed a popular cult following as a pair of Joss Whedon's heroic captains: Capt. Mal Reynolds in the space-western series Firefly and follow-up film, Serenity; and Captain Hammer in Whedon's internet sensation Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Fillion returns to the DC Universe after his successful turn as Steve Trevor in the animated film Wonder Woman, having also performed voice work on Justice League, Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., and several Halo video games.
The ever-genuine Fillion spent some time following his initial recording session to discuss comic book justice, the perils of space travel, his love of comic books and the origin story behind his famous Green Lantern t-shirt. Read on…
QUESTION: Among the superhero role play games of your childhood, did you ever pretend you were the Green Lantern?
NATHAN FILLION: As a child, when you're pretending you're different super heroes, Green Lantern was the easiest because all you needed to light the fire in the imagination was the ring. Superman, you need a cape; Spiderman, you need a full face mask. That wasn't tough to come by in a winter town like where I'm from, but they're just too hot to wear in the summer. So to be Green Lantern, all you needed to do is suck a lifesaver down to the right size, and to make sure it's a lime one – slip it on your finger, and you were good.
QUESTION: What is it about Green Lantern that most appeals to you?
NATHAN FILLION: As a kid, what I liked about Green Lantern was that he could do anything – anything you could think of. It's like "Wow, all I need is a giant mallet, or a catapult circa 1200s," and suddenly he had it. I just thought that would be pretty cool to have anything you could kind of imagine. Imagination was always a big thing for me.
QUESTION: You fit comfortably into animated super hero roles. Why do you think you keep getting chosen to play these comic book legends?
NATHAN FILLION: I will say that I've been very fortunate. I can't tell you why people are willing to offer me the opportunity, but I can say how it pleases me because as a kid collecting comic books, I had a great time with the way it kind of lights the fire in the imagination.
I always thought I had an overdeveloped sense of justice. Now looking back on my comic book days, my world kind of was formed around comic book justice. I think I have a very strong sense of comic book justice. Maybe that has something to do with how you take on a role. I mean, I'm steeped in the history of these characters. I know it and I love it.
QUESTION: Between Firefly/Serenity and Green Lantern, you seem to spend a lot of acting time in space. Did you ever have desires to be an actual astronaut?
NATHAN FILLION: I fear space the same way I fear drowning. I would think it would be a little bit claustrophobic. Sure, you have the vastness of space, but yet you're probably going to be in some kind of little miniature (capsule) and, you know, anything could go wrong. I mean. if you're scuba diving, let's say you're 10 feet underwater – if something goes terribly, terribly wrong, you've got 10 feet to swim to the surface, and you're good. If you're in space, you're boned. That's like being in a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. Uh-oh … Oops. (he laughs) Things you don't want to hear in space or in submarines: "Oops."
QUESTION: Castle is a runaway hit. You're a cover boy for national magazines with great regularity. There's never been greater demand for Nathan Fillion. How do you stay humble through all this adoration?
NATHAN FILLION: I'll tell you there sure is nothing like being an actor and having something to do every day. Get up 5:00 a.m. – I've got someplace to go and I've got a place I need to be. I've got stuff I gotta do. I've got stories I need to tell. This career that I've chosen, I'm employed gainfully in it – so I'm living the dream every day. That's a good feeling. It does good things for how you feel about your choices.
There was a period of time, I'll say it was 1998 approximately, where I didn't work for nearly a year. I was really questioning my judgment. What have I done? I've made a colossal error in judgment. I'm paying my rent on credit. What am I gonna do?
It's a much, much nicer feeling to know that you're doing something — that you're playing some music that people want to hear. So I'm gonna play these notes – you tell me if you like them and we'll keep playing if you keep liking them. That's a good feeling. It's nice to walk down the street and have someone stop and politely say "I love your show." That's always great. As opposed to doing plays, where there's immediate feedback, you don't get that so much in television. So it's really nice to hear. It doesn't get old.
QUESTION: You're on the Castle set at least five days a week, upwards of 14 hours each day. Given all that work, what makes you take time – on a Sunday of a holiday weekend – to record the voice of an animated superhero?
NATHAN FILLION: I take the time to (voice characters in DCU films) exactly for the reason that it's fun. I get a call saying "Hey, how would you like to come on down to record Green Lantern?" And I'm asking back, "Can we squeeze it in on a Sunday because that's pretty much my only day off?" I want to make it work because I love doing it. More than that, I love being part of this lore. These are great characters – you've got Green Lantern, you have Superman, you have Batman, you have the Flash, all these wonderful pieces of American pop culture. And now I've got a little piece. I can say, "Oh yeah, I was Green Lantern for a DVD movie." Not a lot of people can say that. "Oh, Steve Trevor? Funny you should mention him." (he laughs) It may sound silly, but it means something to me.
QUESTION: You have been seen – on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, walking around Comic-Con on a Saturday, at your initial Green Lantern recording session – wearing a Green Lantern t-shirt. Did you own that shirt before being cast as Hal Jordan for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights?
NATHAN FILLION: Debbie Zoller is the head of my makeup department on Castle. She saw that fan-made Green Lantern trailer and thought the t-shirt would be an appropriate Christmas present. And I wholeheartedly agree with her. I've been known to wear a few superhero shirts … and where better than a Green Lantern recording session to wear it today? So thank you Debbie – I told you it would come in handy someday!

The Mystery of Social Signals in SEO
WebiMax Contributor, September 11, 2012
When you watch TV this week, you may see ads for a new show called Elementary, which is another take on the original Master of Deduction, Sherlock Holmes. In the past five years, Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective stories have been adapted several times in film and television, and their popularity made me wonder how Mr. Holmes would handle SEO. In particular, I wondered how he would see social signals in the overall scheme of things. While nobody knows for certain what Google's algorithm is, there are certainly some clues that might help us deduce social signals. Let's take a look at what we do know.
When the Penguin Update came out, Google dropped the hammer on many Black Hat SEO practices. These included:
- Keyword Stuffing
- Overuse of Exact Match Anchor Text Links
- Link farms
- Links from Foreign Sites
Sites that used these and other Black Hat practices were penalized and saw their rankings drop significantly. Google tried to establish the fact that relevancy was king in rankings. Sites that had fresh content and quality backlinks were the ones that were going to appear on the first page because they would be the ones most useful to the user. With that in mind, how do social signals figure into the mix? What about votes of confidence from social shares? Do they really count?
In 2010, Danny Sullivan wrote an article in Search Engine Land that highlighted how Google and Bing might be using social data from Twitter and Facebook to help determine rankings. Matt Cutts, the head of Google's webspam team, responded with this YouTube video on his channel. He suggested that social signals figured greatly in Google's real-time search results and confirmed that Google was dabbling into the idea of author authority. Still, he didn't reveal too much about social signals' weight in rankings.
In the time since then, several events have occurred that may bring more light to where social signals come into play. Twitter and Google's deal officially expired in 2011, which led to the end of real-time search results.
We discussed the Twitter fire-hose being closed off earlier this year on You Tube
Google bought several patents in the earlier part of the year, creating buzz that it's looking to add more social elements into search results. Finally, Cutts weighed in just last month and said that Google was unable to crawl Twitter's pages for 1.5 months after their deal ended, which gave him some cause for concern over third party platforms. However, he did again reiterate that Google is always looking for those who are important because they'll bring relevancy and quality searches.
What concerns would Google have with third party platforms. Google has consistently said it does not weigh +1's seriously into it's algorithm at this time and considers Search Plus your World more at this point.
So we have some clues and hints, but what does this all mean? David Harry of Search Engine Watch released a great blog post several months ago that takes an in-depth look at social signals and shows that however they figure into the algorithm right now, being involved in different social channels can certainly increase your visibility and overall authority. Those who follow and are fans of you or your business will more likely link to you, retweet an interesting thing you said or tell others about you. These will organically boost other signals that are known to figure into the algorithm right now.
But this is in direct contradiction to what Google is saying, other than the OG (Open Graph) argument. Fact of the matter is that social signals have an indirect relationship to increased visibility in SERP's and can be explained as mentioned above. Improving your impressions (and CTR) the Search Plus your World and other avenues will positively lift your site pages in the rankings.
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg recently commented that the company is "uniquely positioned" and it's search team are working on ways to develop its Search Engine for purposes other than People Search.
Also, as you might have noticed, I used relevancy several times in the blog post. Google is all about producing the best results for its users. It wants websites to build real relationships and followings. Perhaps, that's why there are whispers that guest blogs produced by paid spam sites might be next on Google's hit list. These disingenuous routes to produce fake results are a thing of the past. A strong social media presence with fresh content and active engagement is something that people who use the web want.
Just as the days of getting 500 bookmarks and 500 directory submissions have long passed we anticipate the days of buying mass quantities of low quality blog advertisement posts (poorly spun and disingenuous content) are next on the radar.
For example, Webimax uses a variety of techniques for its clients to help bolster their social media presence. The goal is to create a voice that others who are connected to you will find interesting and engaging. This will include actively approaching leaders in the industry; encouraging users to participate in contests, surveys, or polls; and building a network of different social media platforms around your brand. All of these things will make you more relevant, which should make you friendlier to Google.
Social Signals is such a great term when we understand it's meaning. Deeper than tweets and shares related to an article or piece of content. Within our daily lives we stumble upon many actions we give off and receive from people in our lives. A cashier at the checkout with the attitude signals to us that you may not shop their again. A construction worker who holds the door for an older person at the convenience store signals you to take notice of his uniform. These are all great signals of trust, right?
Not necessarily. In these examples; Consider the cashier had a bad day because she couldn't pick up all three of her kids from day care on time and got hit with a hefty fee. Consider the gentle construction worker who held the door generously had intent to not draw suspicion of his shoplifting plot. These certainly are extreme examples but lay the groundwork for sentiment and trust and how we reward those with it.
Maybe this is Matt Cutts whole argument for Google against truly evolving the algorithm to further heavily weight social signals. How can you really know (and rank) trust and authority socially?
This is the problem Google will likely be more transparent about by the end of the year with the evolution of digital media, specifically mobile and tablet usage. Users are relying on social signals to form opinions on local businesses and other services. If Google can't find a way to incorporate these signals into it's main engine then it will lose out, not to other search engines but to other distribution platforms such as social mobile applications.
If Google does not use social signals in its rankings or at least start to use them more in the near future, how relevant can its search results really be? It doesn't take a world class detective to tell you that social signals will factor in SEO for years to come. But will we be thinking of Google when we are are considering them?

Release date: 2012-06-04
This release contains a variety of fixes from 8.3.18. For information about new features in the 8.3 major release, see Section E.171, « Release 8.3 ».
A dump/restore is not required for those running 8.3.X.
However, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 8.3.17, see Section E.154, « Release 8.3.17 ».
Fix incorrect password transformation in contrib/pgcrypto's DES crypt() function (Solar Designer)
If a password string contained the byte value 0x80, the remainder of the password was ignored, causing the password to be much weaker than it appeared. With this fix, the rest of the string is properly included in the DES hash. Any stored password values that are affected by this bug will thus no longer match, so the stored values may need to be updated. (CVE-2012-2143)
Ignore SECURITY DEFINER and SET attributes for a procedural language's call handler (Tom Lane)
Applying such attributes to a call handler could crash the server. (CVE-2012-2655)
Allow numeric timezone offsets in timestamp input to be up to 16 hours away from UTC (Tom Lane)
Some historical time zones have offsets larger than 15 hours, the previous limit. This could result in dumped data values being rejected during reload.
Fix timestamp conversion to cope when the given time is exactly the last DST transition time for the current timezone (Tom Lane)
This oversight has been there a long time, but was not noticed previously because most DST-using zones are presumed to have an indefinite sequence of future DST transitions.
Fix text to name and char to name casts to perform string truncation correctly in multibyte encodings (Karl Schnaitter)
Fix memory copying bug in to_tsquery() (Heikki Linnakangas)
Fix slow session startup when pg_attribute is very large (Tom Lane)
If pg_attribute exceeds one-fourth of shared_buffers, cache rebuilding code that is sometimes needed during session start would trigger the synchronized-scan logic, causing it to take many times longer than normal. The problem was particularly acute if many new sessions were starting at once.
Ensure sequential scans check for query cancel reasonably often (Merlin Moncure)
A scan encountering many consecutive pages that contain no live tuples would not respond to interrupts meanwhile.
Ensure the Windows implementation of PGSemaphoreLock() clears ImmediateInterruptOK before returning (Tom Lane)
This oversight meant that a query-cancel interrupt received later in the same query could be accepted at an unsafe time, with unpredictable but not good consequences.
Show whole-row variables safely when printing views or rules (Abbas Butt, Tom Lane)
Corner cases involving ambiguous names (that is, the name could be either a table or column name of the query) were printed in an ambiguous way, risking that the view or rule would be interpreted differently after dump and reload. Avoid the ambiguous case by attaching a no-op cast.
Ensure autovacuum worker processes perform stack depth checking properly (Heikki Linnakangas)
Previously, infinite recursion in a function invoked by auto-ANALYZE could crash worker processes.
Fix logging collector to not lose log coherency under high load (Andrew Dunstan)
The collector previously could fail to reassemble large messages if it got too busy.
Fix logging collector to ensure it will restart file rotation after receiving SIGHUP (Tom Lane)
Fix PL/pgSQL's GET DIAGNOSTICS command when the target is the function's first variable (Tom Lane)
Fix several performance problems in pg_dump when the database contains many objects (Jeff Janes, Tom Lane)
pg_dump could get very slow if the database contained many schemas, or if many objects are in dependency loops, or if there are many owned sequences.
Fix contrib/dblink's dblink_exec() to not leak temporary database connections upon error (Tom Lane)
Update time zone data files to tzdata release 2012c for DST law changes in Antarctica, Armenia, Chile, Cuba, Falkland Islands, Gaza, Haiti, Hebron, Morocco, Syria, and Tokelau Islands; also historical corrections for Canada.

Okay, my brain synapses aren't snapping. For this month's You Want Pie with That? theme, Natalie of Oven Love decided on Family Favorite Pies. Here are the full directions:
Everyone's family has traditions, including favorite desserts. What's your family favorite? Is it your mom's brownies, your grandmother's banana pudding, your brother's famous chocolate chip cookies? Whatever that favorite dessert is, take it and turn it into a pie! If it already is a pie, make the recipe with your own special twist. If you're feeling extra energized and willing to divulge family secrets, include the original recipe!
Dude, I only saw the logo and thought I needed to bake a family recipe, not use one as a base for a creative pie! Okay, so...please play along with the voices in my head and pretend the theme is an actual family pie recipe.
This is where we have some problems. My family doesn't make pie! My mom came from Okinawa, Japan in 1964 and didn't grow up with pie. What she did do was plant rice (as she told me over and over again). She said, "I used to be so good at planting rice. One by one. One stalk at a time. You have to be very patient..." Then she looks at me with the thought, "My impatient daughter could never plant rice. Good thing I came to America."
So, I may not be able to squat for hours in a muddy field, but I still got the rice planting short legs with thunder thighs...Oh, generations of peasant ancestors give me my 5'2" frame! :)
Back to my mom. I only remember her making one pie. It was pumpkin pie...and it was from the Libby Pumpkin Pie can.
Nothing like a pie made from the freezer (the crust), two cans (pumpkin and evaporated milk), sugar, spices and eggs! (Find the recipe on the back of the can or here.)
Recipe: Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie
Be sure to check out the other You Want Pie with That? bakers!!

Lindsay Lohan Is Engaged! Meet Her Fiance Bader Shammas
Bader Shammas popped the question to Lindsay Lohan — and she said yes!
Lohan announced her engagement via Instagram on Sunday (Nov. 28).
"My love. My life. My family. My future," she wrote alongside photos of her and Shammas, her square diamond engagement ring on full display as she gleefully smiled for the camera.
Lohan and Shammas' relationship has been kept mostly private and out of the public eye. In 2020, the actress briefly shared a photo of the pair on her Instagram account and called Shammas her "boyfriend" before deleting the post.
Lohan and her new fiancé have been dating for the last two years. They met in Dubai, where Lohan has been living for the last seven years.
So, who exactly is Lindsay Lohan's beau, Bader Shammas?
Shammas is the Assistant Vice President at Credit Suisse, an investment banking company. On his public Twitter account, he has re-posted several articles about his engagement.
A source close to the actress told The Sun that Shammas has been a "steady and stable presence in her life."
"He is a legitimate guy," the insider said. "He's not an actor, he's not in the entertainment industry, he manages funds for high net worth people at Credit Suisse. They'll get married at some point. She is 34. It's just a matter of time."
This is Lohan's second engagement. Back in 2016, she was engaged to Egor Tarabasov.

Weekend Reading:
Another cold week here in Chicago with a fresh covering of snow. The weekend is warm and welcoming inside our home. We use our time to relax a little, along with catching up on some reading and napping with each other and our furry friends.
Saralyn Richard, the author of Naughty Nana, is my cherished friend, who has written a charming children's book about her dog Nana. It is a favorite of mine and I hope it becomes a favorite of yours. Enjoy an interview with Saralyn from Dogster.
I think dogs are wonderful teachers of patience, compassion, loyalty, trust, responsibility, and love.
Unfortunately, a lot of children do not have consistency and stability in their lives. A dog is always steady, consistent, reliable, and predictable. A dog will always greet you the same way, and treat you the same way whether you are bad or good. Whether you got a good report card, are smelly or clean, whether your room is a mess, a dog is going to love you unconditionally and the same way all the time.
For me children and rainbows go together, like rain and running in puddles on a rainy day. Here is an activity from Kristina at Toddler Approved, which helps me share my love of rainbows with my grandchild . I think you will find Kristina's blog something you cannot stay away from…it will bring out the child in you this weekend.
Easy Preschool Cutting Craft: Paper Rainbows
One of my favorite parts about St. Patrick's Day is that it is associated with rainbows. My kids love singing songs about the colors of the rainbow all year long and there is just something that makes me happy whenever I see a rainbow!
This week my preschooler wanted something to do while her big brother (my 1st grader) did his homework. We got talking about St. Patrick's Day and she assigned herself to make a rainbow.
This easy paper rainbow craft project is a super simple way to practice scissor skills and cutting straight and curvy lines!
Kristina is the founder of Toddler Approved. She is a mom of three (ages 6,3,1), as well as a National Board certified teacher. Kristina taught for several years and then worked part-time as a curriculum specialist, new teacher coach, and crisis intervention trainer once she became a mom. She retired in Fall 2011 and now loves being full-time mom and teacher to her kiddos. She loves chocolate, running, taking pictures, and party planning. She is also currently the creator of the Virtual Book Club for Kids.
Pregnancy has been a theme on Parenting in the Loop during the past 11 weeks. Fashion and pregnancy can be a challenge right from the beginning. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Amy Tara Koch at a luncheon. I was taken with her style and her book Bump It Up. She has some wonderful suggestions for the fashionista momma to be, spiced up with Amy's sense of humor. Please enjoy!
1. When your jeans or trousers still fit everywhere except the belly, a SIMPLE RUBBER BAND can offer an additional breathing room. Leave jeans unfastened and loop the rubber band around the button and button hole. This sartorial trickery is easily concealed with a hip length tee shirt, some sassy, dangly scarves or a cute scarf worn as a wide Kimono belt.
Enjoy the weekend everybody!
