I'm trying......
I have mixed feelings. I'm hoping a few more strips will improve it, and if not, my quilting will dazzle the whole thing .........perhaps wishful thinking on my part???? Oh well, at least it keeps me sewing for now. The background is Kona Snow and I cut up various pale Kona neutrals for the beiges......
I know......hardly exciting! Sorry about that! Hopefully, this will look better all finished! Keep your fingers crossed........PLEASE????? In the meantime, I think I will go clean my house!!

I think this is so far outside your comfort zone and may be that is why you can't get excited about it, but, it really is lovely, and a new modern Mummy will love it. I can't wait to see how you quilt this, as far as I am concerned quilting is the hardest part, but sure you will 'wing it'. By the way think the non sewing thing is world wide, not much going on anywhere. Good luck

E-gads as you said before - go clean your house?? Can't you sew instead?? Things must be desperate. I quite like your pale quilt top - I can imagine what it could turn into once it gets under the machine - (soem circles or spirals?) but it is Very DIFFERENT to your normal style and I think that just goes to show how talented you are!

This little quilt top is still perfectly pieced and perfectly coordinated...just like everything you do! Enjoy the process!

Clean the house?! That is just crazy talk.
Your quilt is lovely, perfectly contemporary.
Might I suggest you treat yourself to some compasion and enjoy each moment, sewing or not. You are not defined by the quilts you make. There is more to life than sewing (gasp). Go live a little. - April 14, 2012 at 6:51 AM

I think it is a great background to a few, wonky houses, or maybe a little train, after all it is a boy. and those look like train tracks. going around the lake.

I don't know if you really need it or not Carol, but my fingers are crossed for you. Very cute little quilt for baby-to-be.

I love the subtlety of the colour palette - quite different for you! It will be even more beautiful when it's quilted, I'm sure! Keep going, and no more nonsense about cleaning!!!

- beachiesews said...
I bet she will love it...A: Because it is from you. B: Because it is not the usual baby quilt. And you know, it helps to clean the house sometimes, makes you walk away from the project and look at it now and then...let's you make up your mind on what to do. Sometimes plan B is the best!

I love it, but if you are concerned why not add 2 borders, one the bright blue one the darkest brown only 1.5 inches each, but accentuating the colors inside?

I think this will be a lovely sophisticated quilt and if you do straightish line quilting it will be lovely. However, it is so different from what I expect from you. Maybe you need to make a companion quilt out of a bunch of very bright blues and greens that is more your style and then she can report later as to which one she uses more.
- April 15, 2012 at 6:13 PM
- Rettabug said...
I'm sorry you're still bumming, Carol. Did you get your thyroid checked yet????
The quilt will be wonderful once you put your special finishing touches on it. Its just not your usual color palette, that's all. I think the modern Momma will love it!
Hugs to you, my friend,

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
Explanation: While stirring a morning cup of coffee and thinking cosmic thoughts many astronomers would glance at this Hubble Space Telescope image of spiral galaxy NGC 4622 and assume that the galaxy was rotating counterclockwise in the picture. One hundred million light-years away in the constellation Centaurus, NGC 4622's gorgeous outer spiral arms, traced by bright bluish star clusters and dark dust lanes, should be winding up like ... well, like swirls in a cup of coffee. But a closer look at this galaxy reveals that a pronounced inner spiral arm winds in the opposite direction. So which way is this galaxy rotating? Evidence combining ground-based spectroscopy and the sharp Hubble image data surprisingly indicates that the galaxy is likely rotating clockwise in the picture, its outer spiral arms opening outward in the direction of rotation. There are further indications that a past collision with a smaller companion galaxy has contributed to NGC 4622's bizarre rotational arrangement of spiral arms, essentially unique among known large spiral galaxies.

It's Your Lucky Day…

Some people nail up a horseshoe, pick up pennies, or carry around a rabbit's foot; superstitions about how to secure your share of good luck may vary from person to person, but the impulse to try (however ridiculously) is almost universal.
Perhaps surprisingly, charms like these are one of the things that drive poaching in Africa. While elephant poaching for ivory is highly visible, on a smaller scale, many other animals are also being hunted illegally, to the detriment of the fragile ecosystems in the region. We may rub on a rabbit's foot, but in Tanzania, these items are sought after as charms:
Duiker Horns
Less than two feet tall with short legs (for an antelope), the bush duiker makes for easy prey, both for predators and for humans, who often hunt it both for its meat and in retaliation (duiker may not threaten your life, but they have been known to decimate a vegetable garden).
But perhaps the greatest incentive to hunt duiker is its small, straight horns, traditionally used as a charm against evil spirits.
Maybe the spirits of hunted duiker?

Giraffe Tails
You've probably heard of poachers killing an elephant just for its tusks. Question: does that seem more or less wasteful than killing an entire giraffe for its tail?
Giraffe tails are prized as flyswatters (can't improve on nature's design, huh?), for the stiff hair on the tufted portion of the tail (which can be used for sewing or stringing beads), and as good-luck bracelets.
…none of which is particularly lucky for the giraffe.

Kudu Horns
Anyone lucky enough to spot a greater kudu on safari knows just how majestic this antelope, with its stunning, spiraled horns, can be. It would come as no surprise if kudu horns were coveted simply for their aesthetic appeal, but collectors have an even stronger incentive to snag one: they're thought to house powerful spirits, something it's always good to have in your pocket…or, given the lengths these twisting horns often reach, on your wall.
Kudu horns are also valued as a musical instrument (their sound is something like a French horn), and are often used in religious ceremonies, particularly in Judaism, where traditional shofar horns are often made from kudu horns.

Leopard Whiskers
You'd think anyone hunting a leopard would be after its stunning, soft coat, but many poachers bring down these big cats for their whiskers alone. Stiff and white, the leopard's whiskers are often used in potions and charms.
Of course the leopard uses its extremely sensitive whiskers to help it navigate the dense underbrush as it sneaks up on its prey, and can remain undetected even just feet away from a target…which is a little magical, too.

Oryx Horns
Another antelope whose horns are regularly turned into charms, the oryx has a long, international history of being hunted for its headpiece(s).
In medieval England, oryx horns were often sold as unicorn horns, which were believed to cure disease, ward off evil, purify water, and protect against poison.

You have to hand it to the superstitious when it comes to the aardvark: they're seriously nose-to-tail about the good-luck charms.
Aardvark teeth are believed to prevent illness and generally ward off bad luck, the claws are thought to promote good harvests, the hairs are used in traditional potions, and even the meat is highly valued.
Still, we prefer spotting these odd-looking anteaters in one piece.

"We need an agreement that both sides can live with and obtain what they need, not simply what they want," Commissioner Roger Goodell wrote in an op-ed that is appearing in newspapers across the country.
"Today's collective bargain agreement does not work as it should from the standpoint of the teams," he continued. "If needed adjustments are made, the NFL will be better for everyone. The first step is making sure a new collective bargaining agreement is more balanced and supports innovation and growth."
Following is the complete op-ed column:
The time has come to make a deal
By Roger Goodell
One of the best NFL seasons in history is now over. We salute NFL players for their extraordinary talent and we deeply appreciate the tremendous support of the fans.
The hard work to secure the next NFL season must now accelerate in earnest. We are just weeks from the expiration of our collective bargaining agreement. There has been enough rhetoric, litigation and other efforts beyond the negotiating table. It is time for serious negotiations.
The current agreement expires on March 4, and I cannot emphasize enough the importance of reaching agreement by then. If we as a league — the teams and players' union — fail to fulfill our shared responsibility to the fans and game, everyone will be worse off — players, teams and fans — starting in March.
This is an opportunity to create a better future for the NFL, to improve the game for our fans, and to expand the economic benefits for the players and teams.
Staying with the status quo is not an option. The world has changed for everyone, including the NFL and our fans. We must get better in everything we do.
The union has repeatedly said that it hasn't asked for anything more and literally wants to continue playing under the existing agreement. That clearly indicates the deal has moved too far in favor of one side. Even the union's president knows this — as he said on national radio on January 27: "I think what really happened is in 2006 we got such a great deal. I mean, the players got a good deal and the owners felt they got it handed to them."
We need an agreement that both sides can live with and obtain what they need, not simply what they want.
Today's collective bargain agreement does not work as it should from the standpoint of the teams. If needed adjustments are made, the NFL will be better for everyone. The first step is making sure a new collective bargaining agreement is more balanced and supports innovation and growth.
The NFL clubs want to move forward, improve the system, and secure the future of the game for the benefit of players, fans and teams.
The status quo means no rookie wage scale and the continuation of outrageous sums paid to many unproven rookies. In 2009, for example, NFL clubs contracted $1.2 billion to 256 drafted rookies with $585 million guaranteed before they had stepped on an NFL field. Instead, we will shift significant parts of that money to proven veterans and retired players.
The status quo means 16 regular-season and four preseason games — even though fans have rejected and dismissed four preseason games at every opportunity. We need to deliver more value to our fans by giving them more of what they want at responsible prices. This can be achieved if we work together and focus on more ways to make the game safer and reduce unnecessary contact during the season and in the off-season.
The status quo means failing to recognize the many costs of financing, building, maintaining and operating stadiums. We need new stadiums in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Oakland and San Diego; and the ability for more league investment in new technology to improve service to fans in stadiums and at home.
The status quo means players continuing to keep 60 percent of available revenue, in good years or bad, no matter how the national economy or the economics of the league have changed. From 2001 to 2009, player compensation doubled and the teams committed a total of $34 billion to player costs. The NFL is healthy in many respects, but we do not have a healthy business model that can sustain growth.
Companies with far more revenue than the NFL have gone bankrupt because they mismanaged their costs and failed to address their problems before they became a crisis. The NFL has a track record over many decades of making good decisions that have led to unprecedented popularity. Negotiating a fair agreement will result in billions in pay and benefits to current players, improved benefits for retired players, and a sustainable business model for our teams.
The current deal does not secure the best possible future for the game, players, clubs and fans. The next few weeks must be used to negotiate with intensity and purpose so we can reach a fair agreement by March 4. If both sides compromise and give a little, everyone will get a lot, especially the fans.

Beckett King just inherited his father's fortune, his company-and all his enemies. If he's going to stay on top, he needs someone he can trust beside him. And though they've been rivals for years, there's no one he trusts more than Samara Mallick.
The rebel. That's how Samara has always thought of Beckett. And he's absolutely living up to his unpredictable ways when he strides into her office and asks for help. She can't help wondering if it's a legit request or just a ploy to get her into bed. Not that she'd mind either one. After all, she likes to live on the edge too.
But soon the threats to the King empire are mounting, and the two find family secrets darker than they ever imagined and dangerous enough to get them both killed.

The Last King Excerpt
Copyright © 2018 Katee Robert
What were you thinking about just then?" His gaze fell to her mouth. "Never mind. You don't have to tell me. It's written all over your face."
She licked her lips as he stepped closer, as he backed her against the wall and bracketed her in with his hands on either side of her head. He felt bigger in this position, as if his shoulders could block out the very sun. You have to get him to back off. You're too close. She leaned against the wall, the move arching her back just a little. Beckett's gaze dropped to where her breasts pressed against her blouse, and he dragged in an unsteady breath. As if he was using every ounce of willpower not to touch her. He dragged his eyes up to meet hers. "You were thinking about that night."
She could deny it, but it would be pointless. "Yeah."
Slowly, oh so slowly, he moved one hand to sift his fingers through her hair. When she didn't immediately answer, he leaned closer yet. "I think about it, too." He trailed his fingers through her hair until he reached her shoulder and his thumb dipped beneath the fabric of her shirt. "All the fucking time." He dropped his hand farther, the tips of his fingers tracing over her breast in a touch so light she was half sure she imagined it.
Might have convinced herself she imagined it if her entire body wasn't tuned to his in that moment.
Touch me.
As if reading her thoughts, he shifted closer, his leg sliding between hers. The move forced her skirt up as she spread her legs to accommodate his thigh. Higher and higher until he was firmly pressed against her clit. It throbbed in time with her heartbeat, and it was everything she could do not to rub on his thigh like a mindless version of herself.
She felt mindless. Samara gave up her determination not to touch him. She couldn't wrap her legs around his waist because of her damn skirt, but she ran her hands up his chest. "We can't."
"I know." But he didn't stop. He slid his hands down to her ass, urging her to grind against his thigh. Slowly, so incredibly slowly, as if he had all the time in the world. He dragged his mouth over her collarbone, the faint rasp of whiskers drawing a whimper from her lips.
Samara dug her fingers into his hair, and he went still. Waiting. She pulled him up and took his mouth the way she'd wanted to since she'd snuck out of that hotel room six months before. She flicked his tongue with hers, teasing him even as he resumed the delicious movement between them again. Yes, yes, do that, don't stop.
Beckett let her have control for all of two seconds, and then he deepened the kiss, pressing her more firmly against the wall. He took with his mouth even as he gave with his body, hitching her higher until her toes barely touched the floor and she was completely at his mercy. Pleasure sparked through her, and she kissed him harder. It wasn't enough, might never be enough, but she couldn't stop.
Not when she knew that, as good as this was, what came next was even better.
About Katee Robert
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Katee Robert learned to tell her stories at her grandpa's knee. Her 2015 title, The Marriage Contract, was a RITA finalist, and RT Book Reviews named it 'a compulsively readable book with just the right amount of suspense and tension." When not writing sexy contemporary and romantic suspense, she spends her time playing imaginary games with her children, driving her husband batty with what-if questions, and planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

Breadboard jumper cables aren't terribly expensive to start with, but if you're looking for an even cheaper solution, Make Magazine points out that regular office staples work just as well.
Generally speaking, staples have a thin layer of glue that's used to hold them together, so to use staples in place of jumper cables, you first have to soak them in acetone. When you're done soaking them, you have an incredibly cheap alternative to jumper cables. Since staples come in a wide variety of sizes, you can use them in a variety of ways. The one problem is that since staples are not insulated like a jumper cable, you can't overlap them in the same way, but otherwise they work just as well. Check out the post on Make for a full guide to get your staples prepared.

This Week in Genealogy
This week, I will be moving out from behind the safety of my desk and computer and actually going to two genealogy meetings. The first one I am going to attend is Genealogy Program at the Schaumburg Township District Library. This meeting takes place on Tuesday, 11 Oct 2011. The subject has been changed to "All Things Genealogy" from "Family History Research in Illinois and Wisconsin," which was to be given by Maureen Brady. Maureen has had a death in the family and the Genealogy Program of the STDL will be looking to re-book this talk with Maureen in the future. Doors open at 7pm and meeting begins at 7:30. Hope to meet new friends and maybe see some old ones.
On Saturday, 15 Oct 2011, I will also be attending the CSAGSI meeting in La Grange, IL. This program is titled "Chicago Czechs – Then and Now." Program starts at 1:30pm and is held at the First Presbyterian Church at 150 S. Ashland Ave.
I am excited to see what both of these groups have to offer and it is always nice to get together with those that do not get that glazed over look when you start talking about the dead folk in your family.
Hope to see some of you there!

Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing was hotly anticipated when it was released 25 years ago.
The film about racial tension reaches a boiling point on a scorching summer day in Brooklyn. All the action takes place on one block in Bedford-Stuyvesant, one of the poorest neighborhoods in New York City; a block where African-Americans and Puerto Ricans live, Koreans and Italians work and the New York Police Department plays dirty.
Do the Right Thing would go on to be nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay, where it ultimately lost out to Dead Poets Society. (The Academy Award for best picture that year went to Driving Miss Daisy, a film with vastly more timid portrayals of racial distrust and tension.)
The Academy Hosts A Silver Anniversary Screening
As if to make up for the oversight, the Academy Film Archive premiered a new 35 mm print of the film that was screened last Friday.
The movie opens with Rosie Perez dancing and shadow boxing to "Fight the Power" in what some have called the greatest opening credit sequence in film history. The audience at the event hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was immediately transported to 1989 and its gold door-knocker earrings, biker shorts and boom boxes.
The way the movie explored racial tension and police brutality resonated across the country.
"I lived in South Central [Los Angeles] and it was like, 'Wow, that happens over there, like cops do that over there, too?' " says Jesse Bingham, who was standing in line with his wife, Shaunte, hoping to get into the sold-out screening. Both were too young to see it in a theater when it was first released, but they did see it on video as kids.
Racial tension is in your face in Do the Right Thing — no subtleties, no need to read between the lines. There's even a montage with several characters spewing racial slurs into the camera. Right at you. Whoever you are.
But don't think it's some bash-you-over-the-head-with-the-injustices-of-the-world kind of movie. It's hilarious. (Unfortunately for us, the funniest moments are replete with unprintable language.)
The Risk Of Making 'Do the Right Thing'
"I doubt that Do the Right Thing would be made by any studio today," says Tom Pollock, who ran Universal Pictures in the late 1980s and gave the movie a green light. In a discussion before the screening, Pollock tells the packed theater that studios today aren't as willing to produce original screenplays. Too risky. Director Spike Lee (who also plays the role of Mookie) says "risky" was an understatement when it comes to this film.
"It started at the world premiere in Cannes where there was a segment of the press who did not want this film to come out, who were writing reviews, saying this film was going to cause black people to run amok," Lee says.
Pollock adds there was concern that the film was going to cause race riots. "So what did we do," he says. "We moved the release date up to take advantage of all that controversy!"
The Obamas made a brief videotaped appearance at the event where they talked to the audience and Lee about going to see Do the Right Thing on their first date. "Today I've got a few more gray hairs than I did back in 1989," the president says. "You don't look like Mookie anymore, but Do the Right Thing still holds up a mirror to our society and it makes us laugh and think and challenges all of us to see ourselves in one another."
As Mister Señor Love Daddy, one of the film's characters, says, "That's the truth, Ruth."

Research on the interplay of cognition and mobility in old age is inherently multidisciplinary, informed by findings from life span developmental psychology, kinesiology, cognitive neuroscience, and rehabilitation sciences. Early observational work revealed strong connections between sensory and sensorimotor performance with measures of intellectual functioning. Subsequent work has revealed more specific links between measures of cognitive control and gait quality. Convergent evidence for the interdependence of cognition and mobility is seen in patient studies, wherein cognitive impairment is associated with increased frequency and risk of falling. Even in cross-sectional studies involving healthy young and older adults, the effects of aging on postural control and gait are commonly exacerbated when participants perform a motor task with a concurrent cognitive load. This motor-cognitive dual-task method assumes that cognitive and motor domains compete for common capacity, and that older adults recruit more cognitive capacity than young adults to support gait and posture.
Neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have revealed associations between measures of mobility (e.g., gait velocity and postural control) and measures of brain health (e.g., gray matter volumes, cortical thickness, white matter integrity, and functional connectivity). The brain regions most often associated with aging and mobility also appear to subserve high-level cognitive functions such as executive control, attention, and working memory (e.g., dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate). Portable functional neuroimaging has allowed for the examination of neural functioning during real-time walking, often in conjunction with detailed spatiotemporal measures of gait. A more recent strategy that addresses the interdependence of cognitive and motor processes in old age is cognitive remediation. Cognitive training has yielded promising improvements in balance, walking, and overall mobility status in healthy older adults, and those with age-related neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's Disease.

While I love to escape with a good novel, especially these days, I also read a ton about current events, what's happening in politics, what's happening to the climate, what's happening in the world of technology. It will probably not shock you that is the case for a lot of other people here at NPR, too. Books We Love, NPR's list of best reads from 2021, has hundreds of recommendations for books that came out over the past year. And today, we have four suggestions all about current events. I'll go first. I recommended "Last Best Hope: America In Crisis And Renewal" by George Packer. It is really no exaggeration to say that I have thought about the essay at the core of this book, which is about how America has sorted itself into four tribes that increasingly view each other with suspicion and contempt. Just about every day since I first read it, I think I've sent a link to the Atlantic excerpt to nearly everyone that I know. George Packer's analysis of how the pandemic and the Trump-era hypercharged division in the country is pretty bleak, despite the positive spin that the title's framing and the book's final chapter attempt to put on things. But it is an essential reading to understand what has gone wrong in our politics and in our civic institutions.
LATESHA HARRIS, BYLINE: Hi, I'm LaTesha Harris, an editorial assistant for NPR Music and Louder Than A Riot. I recommend that you read Mariame Kaba's "We Do This 'Til We Free Us" as soon as you can. Last summer, after the police killing of George Floyd, abolition became a mainstream conversation for the first time in its organizing history. Even though global calls to end policing and replace it with other practices of communal safety petered out, the need for that to happen is as pertinent as ever. We saw the double standard of policing in its institution in the verdict of Kyle Rittenhouse. We will always see this double standard because that's how the law functions.
"We Do This 'Til We Free Us" is a vital introductory text of transformative justice and its organizing principles. Kaba's analysis of prisons and policing is human centric and expansive. She explains that as it stands, the institution of punishment is restrictive, carceral and dependent on racism. "We Do This 'Til We Free Us" breathes hope into the movement and is equally accessible for people new to abolition and its veteran organizers.
MANO SUNDARESAN, BYLINE: Hi, I'm Mano Sundaresan, and I'm a production assistant on NPR's All Things Considered. And the book I chose is "Under A White Sky" by Elizabeth Kolbert. Now, there is a pervading sense through this book that we've royally screwed up. Kolbert reports on the many ways humans have created these environmental problems, tried to solve them and create even more problems as a result. This sounds kind of sad and bleak and maybe even dry, but it's actually really, really engaging and really funny. Kolbert's travels take her all around the world, to some pretty bizarre places, including one Asian carp fest, which is quite literally a celebration of Asian carp. It's an interesting book that will make you laugh and make you really think about the state of things and how we've maybe gone too far. And the question it poses and doesn't super answer is, have we gone too far?
DENISE COUTURE, BYLINE: I'm Denise Couture, and I'm a senior editor at NPR. My book recommendation is "Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy And The Fall Of Boeing." The author is Peter Robison. The book is actually kind of heartbreaking. Remember those 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia a few years ago? This book is about what happened at Boeing, the company, that led up to those crashes and why there's been so little accountability. But he also tells a bigger story, one we've seen other places in corporate America over the decades. He explains in detail how Boeing went from being a company of engineers, where creating a perfect product was everything, to becoming a company of Wall Street types where the bottom line was everything and safety took a backseat.
I love this book not just because it's so well researched and interesting, which it is, but also because I'm from Seattle. Back in the day before Amazon, if you lived in the Seattle area, you either worked for Boeing or you knew someone who worked for Boeing. In my case, it was both. And I just think it's really important for people to know where Boeing went wrong.
DETROW: That was Denise Couture recommending "Flying Blind," Mano Sundaresan with "Under A White Sky" and LaTesha Harris who suggested "We Do This 'Til We Free Us." And that was also me, Scott Detrow, recommending "Last Best Hope." For more ideas on what to read, you can find the full list of Books We Love at npr.org/bestbooks.

Kelvin Clips
Kelvin clips are similar to crocodile (also known as alligator) clips, but each jaw of a Kelvin clip insulated from the other. A current lead is connected to one jaw and a potential lead to the other. Kelvin clips are a practical way of making a four-terminal (Kelvin) connection to wires, busbars and plates. Features of Kelvin clipsUnlike crocodile clips, where both halves of the jaw are electrically common to each other andusually joined at the hinge point, the two halves of Kelvin clips' jaws are insulated from each other at the hinge point. They only contact at the tips where they clasp the wire or terminal of the subject being measured. What are Kelvin clips used for?Kelvin clips are used to assist in the Kelvin method of measurement that is typically made using four separate wires. Two of the wires carry the current and are known as the source or current leads. They pass current through an Rx receiver. Kelvin clips grip the tip of the wire for maximum clamp.

Ed Caccia is a loyal listener to the show. He's also a fellow New Yorker, and a very savvy investor. By studying history and understanding the life cycle of unbacked monetary systems, he came to the inescapable conclusion the only lasting wealth comes from the ground. While there are certainly other ways to earn a living or a return, resource based investing has proven time and again, that food, gold, silver, and energy are always worth considering as investments.
Ed and I also talked about the dumbing down of schools and their failure to teach American History. "Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it," this catchphrase has never been truer than today. Hearing someone in Ed's position explain how he came to understand that the present system was doomed can be very instructive. We're looking forward to having Ed on again for a follow-up interview soon.

[Part 5 of the author's "Wives and Fathers: Fatherhood and Divorce Laws in the Victorian Novel"]
t the centre of The Evil Genius (1886), one of Wilkie Collins's late "mission" novels, is a custody quarrel that is decided against the father. The panorama of good fathers in the novel is expectedly wide-ranging. The main story centres on a seemingly ideal family which breaks up when the husband seduces the sympathetically portrayed young girl he has recruited as a governess for his daughter Kitty. After a separation, the wife petitions for a divorce to secure custody of the child. A de facto separation or a private separation agreement drawn up by a lawyer would, in common law, leave custody of Kitty to the father. But since her parents had been married under Scottish law, the wife can petition for a divorce on the grounds of the father's adultery and expect custody of their child. The loopholes of the different laws within Britain clearly constitute a recurring fascination for Collins. The "Irish Marriage" of the mother, which turns out to be invalid, and the "accidentally" contracted Scottish wedding of the daughter are the pivots of Man and Wife (1870), which is Collins's most dedicated novel "about" the inconsistencies of the marriage laws in different parts of Britain. The law in this earlier novel is abused by men that are straightforward scoundrels. The situation in The Evil Genius is different as, firstly, all the participants in this melodrama are sympathetically portrayed, and secondly, because of the novel's emphasis on the significance of fatherhood. The lawyer's humanity rests principally in his affectionate fondness for children. Captain Bennydeck, who eventually rescues the fallen governess, is similarly "a man who loved children" (254). Randal's function in the novel is his role as a playful uncle, while his brother's participation in his daughter's games emphasises that fathers as well as bachelor-uncles can be a child's playmate. A chapter entitled "Kitty Keeps Her Birthday" evokes John Tosh's description of the gift-bearing Victorian father; and Kitty's new doll articulates the need for both father and mother: "Kitty's arms opened and embraced her gift with a scream of ecstasy. That fervent pressure found its way to the right spring. The doll squeaked: 'Mamma!' — and creaked — and cried again — and said: 'Papa!'" (139)
The birthday celebration is already overshadowed by adulterous desires; and the doll's mechanical squeaks for mother and father ominously foreshadow Kitty's cries for her father after her parents' divorce. The husband's infatuation with the young governess, Sydney Westerfield, is detected before adultery can be committed. Kitty pines after the loss of her friend and eventually succumbs to typhus fever. As Sydney is sent for to save her life, the husband flees the house, but as his wife — or rather the "evil genius", his mother-in-law — omits to inform him immediately of his child's recovery, he hears the good news from the governess and, in a state of emotional turmoil, gives in to his passion.
Anticipating Henry James's novel by more than ten years, Collins then proceeds to embark on a melodramatic delineation of the effects of a divorce on a Victorian family. Unable to find a "solution" like the one ridiculed in What Maisie Knew, the characters of Collins's novel engage in a vengeful fight that brings the worst of late twentieth-century TV-melodrama to mind. Living together with Sydney, her father is forbidden even to see his child, as her mother deliberately hides her from him even prior to their divorce. In order to foil his attempts to contact his daughter, she stages an elaborate, melodramatic "flight": They row over a misty lake, dodge their pursuers by disembarking at an unlikely destination, disguise Kitty as a boy to fool any spies at the railway station, and flee abroad. Eventually the lawyer persuades her to petition for a divorce — and "his lordship then decreed the Divorce in the customary form, giving the custody of the child to the mother" (215). As Lawrence Stone has pointed out in his study of the development of divorce laws in Britain, by 1886 it had become customary to grant custody of young children to the mother (390). Expectedly, the Victorian child is never consulted. Kitty in The Evil Genius is terrified by the contradictory signs she reads in their new fatherless home. Her investigations culminate in her desperate appeal to her mother's lawyer:
Mr Sarrazin tried to put her off his knee. She held him round the neck. […] Kitty hung on to him with her legs as well as her arms […] 'Mamma's going to have a new name,' she shouted, as if the lawyer had suddenly become deaf. 'Grandmamma says she must be Mrs Norman. And I must be Miss Norman. I won't! Where's papa? I want to write to him […]. Do you hear? Where's papa? (219)
Kitty's pleas reverberate through the rest of the narrative. The significance of the role of the father in a child's development has become a much-discussed issue ever since the development of the nuclear family in the eighteenth century. In a rather reactionary analysis of twentieth-century debates on family values, Life Without Father: Compelling New Evidence that Fatherhood and Marriage are Indispensable for the Good of Children and Society, David Popenoe details the effects of the "massive erosion of fatherhood" (1). Marriage, he remarks, "can now be broken unilaterally on a whim" (5), and modern society is therefore "headed for social disaster" (80). The conservative approach to divorce in Collins's novel is represented by Captain Bennydeck, whose religious scruples to marry a divorced wife seem to clash with his rescue of "fallen" women, reflecting the ambiguity of Collins's criticism of society, morality, and the law. The fate of the seduced governess is heartrendingly detailed. The scandal-loving bourgeoisie, whose hypocritical members snub the recently divorced woman, is treated with little patience; yet Bennydeck remains a lauded protagonist, even though his conservativism is ambiguously presented. Mr Sarrazin, the humane lawyer, formulates the arbitrariness of the law – though he makes use of the new divorce laws and opposes the eventual remarriage:
Is there something wrong in human nature? Or something wrong in human laws? All that is best and noblest in us feels the influence of love – and the rules of society declare than an accident of position shall decide whether love is a virtue or a crime. (194)
What reads almost as a plea for bigamy stops short of the realities of Collins's solution to his own domestic arrangements. Eventually Sydney is paired off with Bennydeck, who cannot bring himself to marry the divorced wife, though it is stressed that he would make a good father for Kitty, while Kitty's parents remarry — to the consternation of the lawyer. It is hinted that Bennydeck might even consider marrying Sydney, although his initial interest in her is solely paternal, as he identifies her as the lost daughter of his deceased friend. Such "displaced" incestuous desire also informs the husband's seduction of his young, vulnerable, and childlike governess. As he rescues her from her imperious aunt's school, where she had been left when her mother remarried and went to America, and where she is exploited as an underpaid teacher, his feelings for her are at first parental. The terms of equality on which her friendship with Kitty is based, her youth, childlike appearance, and naïveté all identify her as a child-figure seduced by proxy by the pupil's father. This displaced incest sheds of course an ominous light on the function of fatherhood in the novel. Sydney repeatedly evokes parental feelings. The husband's lawyer explains his interest in her by noticing her appeal to his father-feelings: "Perhaps I thought of the time when she might have been as dear to her father as my own daughters are to me."

Dodge Challenger SRT 10 Concept
The opportunity for SRT engineering to "one-up" the modern-day pony car war comes to fruition with the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept. Power for the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept comes from the Dodge Viper 8.4-liter, all-aluminum V-10 engine with 600 horsepower and 560 lb. ft. of torque. This new halo concept car delivers the well-known SRT credo of benchmark performance.
The 2009 Challenger SRT10 concept was developed by Chrysler's in-house performance engineering organization, Street and Racing Technology (SRT) with a focus on the five pillars of every SRT vehicle: bold exterior design that resonates with the brand image, a race-inspired interior, world-class ride and handling across a dynamic range, a standout powertrain and benchmark braking.
"The 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept resurrects authentic American muscle car for the Dodge brand," said Kipp Owen, Director — SRT, Chrysler LLC. "SRT has engineered a superb example of performance engineering capability with a resourceful and creative flare."
At the heart of the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept is the proven Dodge Viper powertrain — a V-10 engine with 600 hp and 560 lb. ft. of torque. The driveline is comprised of a Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission with Dodge Viper gear ratios. The torque routes through a single-piece, four-inch steel drive shaft to an aluminum differential with a 3.73:1 final drive and torque-sensing limited-slip.
With 600 horsepower comes the need for benchmark braking, one of the pillars of SRT. The Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept features an SRT-engineered braking system. All four corners are equipped with silver painted Brembo fixed calipers that feature six pistons in front and four pistons in back. Two-piece 390mm vented rotors are up front and 355mm vented rotors are in the rear. The SRT-exclusive braking system includes knockback mitigation software for even better track response. The system recognizes lateral acceleration and effectively primes itself, anticipating the next brake application.
The 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept is equipped with a significantly re-tuned version of the 2009 Challenger SRT8 suspension, featuring a multi-link short- and long-arm (SLA) front suspension with BILSTEIN® mono-tube shocks at all four corners. The front suspension cradle combines hydroformed steel tube side rails with a stamped box section lateral member to provide the appropriate level of stiffness. The stiffness is tuned to avoid the transmission of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) into the passenger compartment.
In the rear, a five-link independent suspension (IRS) with 20 percent stiffer spring rates and a larger rear sway bar offers a better ride by allowing for independent tuning of ride and handling characteristics. Multiple links maintain independent control of camber and toe during suspension movement. Lower unsprung mass offers a better ride and the de-coupling of left and right wheels over road imperfections maintains better tire contact with the ground and results in better ride comfort. Multiple bushings in the IRS offer the flexibility to tune for ride and comfort. In addition, stabilizer bar attachments to the knuckles provide maximum response to vehicle lean.
The 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept rides on unique 20 x 9-inch and 20 x 10-inch fully-forged Alcoa aluminum wheels wrapped with Pirelli P-Zero 275/35R20 tires in the front and Pirelli P-Zero 275/40R20 in the rear.
The Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept exterior features a fresh coat of Tornado Red paint and unique forged aluminum wheels. The shaker hood is a nostalgic representation of the 1970 HEMI Cuda giving the 600 hp V-10 room to breathe and the driver an incredible view of the torque lean of the engine.
To reduce weight and complement the vehicle's appearance, a carbon-fiber hood and deck-lid were added. Also, carbon-fiber aerodynamic treatments were developed to keep the car on the track at high speeds. Using technology learned from the Dodge Viper ACR, a front splitter and rear spoiler were engineered to enhance down force and maintain overall vehicle balance.
A race-inspired interior includes leather seats with added bolstering and red-stripe stitched accents on the seats and steering wheel. Four-bomb gauges with tachometer and 180-mph speedometer keep an eye on vital signs. The Dodge Challenger SRT10 concept also comes equipped with SRT's exclusive Reconfigurable Display (RCD) with Performance Pages. This system provides drivers instant feedback on zero-to-60 mph, 60-to-zero mph braking, g-forces and 1/4-mile times. Carbon-fiber accents are throughout the interior and of course, the Dodge Challenger SRT 10 Concept inherits the red, dash-mounted, push-button starter from Dodge Viper.
SRT performance vehicles, including the Dodge Viper SRT10, Dodge Caliber SRT4, Dodge Charger SRT8, Chrysler 300C SRT8, Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8 and the Dodge Challenger SRT8, are engineered by Chrysler's in-house performance organization: Street and Racing Technology.

When you make a commitment to create a truly powerful WHY statement, it is a good idea to share it with other people in your social circle. You can share your new personal WHY statement with your family members, your close friends, your employer and anyone else that is important to you in your life.
Some people are not going to know what a WHY statement is and why you have bothered to create one. Explain to everyone that you have now found your true life purpose and that you intend to stand by your WHY statement from now on.
Sharing Provides Accountability
By sharing your WHY statement with the important people around you will make yourself accountable and more motivated to live by it. You may not feel that you need this added accountability because you have a strong will, but you will be surprised how much this can help you to be the person that you truly want to be.
Not everyone that you share your WHY statement with is going to hold you accountable. Some of your family members and friends may not even notice that you have deviated from it. Others may notice, but then show sympathy to you and say things like "well you tried and that was the main thing". This is not going to help you.
Think about who will make a good WHY statement buddy. This is a person who will truly hold you accountable to your WHY statement and will let you know in no uncertain terms of you fall of the rails. They are not going to be sympathetic to any deviances and will give you a hard time if you do not live by your WHY statement.
Is it necessary to Share your WHY Statement with everyone?
There are going to be some people in your circle that just don't get it. They may even laugh at you for creating a personal WHY statement and tell you that you have just wasted a lot of time and effort.
Some people are going to tell you that you will never live by your WHY statement. They know you very well and feel that you will deviate from your WHY statement at the earliest opportunity. We all have these kinds of people in our lives who see the negative in everything.
So should you share your WHY statement with these people? To be honest only you can answer that question. If you know that a person is going to hit you with a barrage of negativity when you share your WHY statement with them then you need to decide if you are going to be able to handle this.
Some people can handle this kind of negativity well. It actually makes them even more committed to their WHY statement. Others will find this negativity difficult to deal with and it may make them think that they are wasting their time with a WHY statement.

Do or Die may refer to:
Do or Die is a 1991 action film starring Cynthia Brimhall, Pat Morita and Erik Estrada. It was directed, written and produced by Andy Sidaris.
Do or Die is the second album by rapper Tim Dog. The album represented Tim's shift of focus, away from confrontation with the West Coast and concentrated on hardcore East Coast rap. The album contained a shout-out to Tupac Shakur whom Tim thanked for assisting him when involved in a potentially violent situation when touring in California.
All tracks by Tim Dog except were noted
Do or Die is the first album released by Boston's Irish-American punk band, Dropkick Murphys. It was released in 1998. A music video for the single "Barroom Hero" was released. This is the only album that featured original lead vocalist, Mike McColgan who went on to become a fireman before forming his own band, the Street Dogs.
Allmusic gave Do or Die a rating of three stars out of five, and said that the album was "an interesting blend of hardcore-style punk with traditional Irish inflections."
A Do or Die poster appears on the wall of John Connor's bedroom in the pilot episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. "Barroom Hero" was used in the final credits of the documentary "Restrepo." "Never Alone" was featured in the Extreme sports video game Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX.
Many songs were a collaborative effort.
Do or Die is the second album released by Gospel Gangstaz. It was released on November 28, 1995 for Holy Terra Records and featured production from Mr. Solo, Tik Tokk, DMG, Aaron Connor, Paul Andris, Sean Freehill and Steve Good. Do or Die peaked at 24 on the Top Christian Albums Billboard chart, but again no charting singles were released.
Do or Die is an American rap trio originally from the Westside of Chicago, consisting of group members Belo Zero, N.A.R.D. and AK. The group experienced mainstream success with the platinum single "Po Pimp", which peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Do or Die gained a hit with their first single, "Po Pimp". Released on a tiny Chicago label, the track became a local hit and sparked the group's signing by Houston's Rap-A-Lot Records. Given a wide release in the summer of 1996, the single hit number 22, increasing the buzz for a full-length from the group. In September of that year, Picture This was released on Rap-A-Lot. The album was certified Gold, and launched the group, as well as fellow Chicago rapper Twista, who was featured on the track, into superstardom.
In 1998, the group released their sophomore album, "Headz or Tailz". Like the group's previous album, Headz or Tailz was a success, peaking at #13 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, producing the successful single, "Still Po Pimpin", which featured Twista and Johnny P, and peaked at #62 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #16 on the Hot Rap Singles.
I don't care if I do die do die I quit livin' if you wave your bye bye
And every day's just the night to cry cry so I don't care if I do die do die
I destroy myself when I drink the warm red wine
You wanted his but more then you wanted mine
Life without you is just a waste of time I don't care if I do die do die
I don't care if I do die do die..
[ steel - guitar ]
You ruin my soul and you wreck my brain your kinda love drives a man insane
Life without you it won't be the same and the battle is one-way train
Well I don't care if I do die do die...

Kitten: So, I got two skeins of Sundara sock yarn!
Sophy: Oh. My. God!
Kitten: Are you making fun of me? I don't even care if you are! I'm so thrilled!
Sophy: It's so pretty! I failed to get some myself and I've given up.
I've promised one of my two skeins to Sophy since I realize how sad it is to want Sundara and not have it.
I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I've started a small knit hat for Nathan with this yarn.
It has an interesting cabled construction (the yarn, not the hat, which is done in simple two by two rib) but I'm not sure I love it knit as much as I loved it in the little yarn cake. Isn't that always the way? I've only knit an inch or two on it, since a stupid RPG for the PS2 has really taken over my life. In a bad way.
But that's partially a lie. I'm also sewing. I decided to make some spring-ish napkins for a dinner party we're having this weekend. I'm totally using this next picture without the permission of the copyright owner, but I hope that my friend will forgive me. Here is a picture of our last murder mystery get together:
Hopefully this next one will be just as much fun. I've got my tiara and pearls at the ready. I will show you pics of that (and my finished napkins, if I ever do finish them).
Okay, but here's the real deal, the crafting for this post. It's not sewing, it isn't knitting, it's not even card making. It's COOKING. I know! On the night before Valentine's day, Paul came home with four bars of chocolate and a plan. We were going to make truffles. At first, I groaned to myself because it sounded too ambitious for my Friday night plans, but after a bit, I got very involved with it.
The worst part of the whole deal was waiting for the stupid coconut and walnuts to brown for the coating toppings. I've learnt that about myself. One of the things I hate about cooking is doing all the small fiddly parts of it. I don't mind stirring, or measuring, or mixing. I hate waiting. I hate knowing that it takes five minutes to brown coconut and that during that time, we're just standing there waiting for it all to be done. It's why when I used to cook for myself to eat when I lived at my mom's, I used to just put a pot of one box meal on the stove, let it cook through and then forget about it while I went to work on the computer. By the time I got back to it, it would invariably be midnight, the food would be dried and cold, and then I'd eat it anyway. No wonder I never gained much weight -- the food I was eating was nearly inedible.
Anyway, so, Paul and I worked together to make some truffles from the America's Test Kitchen recipe and they are DELISH. They are the most fantastic homemade truffles ever. The coating is slightly crisp and shatters slightly when you bite into them. The dusting of cocoa on some of them is so delightful. If you have access to America's Test Kitchen recipes, you need to make some truffles. Hell, sprinkle some sea salt on some. Sprinkle nonpareils on others. Just make them. They are so wonderful. I plan on spiking the next set we make with some Kahlua.
If you'll excuse me, I've got to go eat some truffles.
(When did my knitting blog turn into a life blog? How did this happen?)

Sunlight Changes Aerosols in Clouds
Scientists show how sunlight alters optical, chemical properties of atmospheric particles
Image reproduced by permission of Professor Sergey Nizkorodov and the PCCP Owner Societies from Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2011, 13, 3612-3629, DOI: 10.1039/C0CP02032J. Enlarge Image
Results: Today's climate models regard organic aerosols as static carbon-based molecules, but scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of California, Irvine showed that the particles are very dynamic. Exposure to sunlight transforms the aerosol composition drastically. Changing the composition alters how the particles behave, a topic of interest to scientists and climate modelers. Artwork from this study graced the cover of Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
Why It Matters: Current atmospheric computer models do not consider the evolving chemistry of the organic aerosols. However, small changes in the chemical composition of particles can affect the environment. For example, sunlight bleaches the brown particles white, reducing the amount of heat the particles absorb. When considered on a global scale, a change in heat absorption could have major impacts. By considering the chemical changes, scientists can fine tune atmospheric models, allowing them to better simulate the effects of environmental and regulatory changes.
"We are interested in understanding how sunlight affects the chemical composition of organic particles," said Dr. Adam Bateman, who worked on this and other global change studies. Bateman is a recent graduate of UCI and was a Department of Energy Global Change Education Program fellow.
Methods: In a series of experiments, the team synthesized organic aerosols. The carbon-packed constituents are ubiquitous in airborne particulates, coming from sources as diverse as pine trees and diesel trucks.
"Many modeling efforts assume that once the particles are emitted, their properties don't change as a function of time," said Dr. Alexander Laskin, a physical chemist at PNNL. "It is not that people don't realize that particles evolve. You just have to keep it simple."
The team exposed the particles to light that mimics the range of energy found in sunlight. Using high-resolution mass spectrometers at EMSL, the scientists analyzed the samples of particles. They found that the sunlight changes the chemical structure and physical properties of the particles. For example, the light can destroy relatively large organic or carbon-centric molecules, chopping them into smaller pieces. These chemical changes alter light-absorbing properties of the organic material.
"We found that exposing particles to sunlight makes the particles increasingly more oxidized and acidic, which in turn makes it easier for such particles to nucleate water and make cloud droplets," said Professor Sergey Nizkorodov, a physical chemist at UCI who led the study.
The optical properties of the particles also change. Specifically, the light causes the particles to fade and become less light absorbing. When freshly prepared, particles absorb some light, but as the particles fade, they absorb significantly less. This study further highlights the complexity and dynamic nature of atmospheric particles that may have a significant effect on the environment.
What's next? The researchers at PNNL and UCI are continuing to answer questions about the properties of organic aerosols in the atmosphere. They are working to understand how the aerosols change their physical properties when exposed to different environmental conditions and the ensuing chemical reactions.

Instead of heading straight for the MacBooks and 4K TVs, buy all the less expensive items on your holiday shopping list first. It stops you from having a distorted perception of value, researchers say.
Once you shell out for something costly, your brain loses perspective on what's a good price, says Scott Huettel, an associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina. So once you've paid $250 for a PlayStation 3, doling out $40 instead of $30 for a Lego set may no longer faze you.
The full post at Real Simple has some other cool tips on avoiding spending too much. For example, try not to go to attractive salespersons as studies suggest you are more likely to find them trustworthy.

Over the past few years millions of PCs from around the world have been locked or had their files encrypted by malicious programs designed to extort money from users. Collectively known as ransomware, these malicious applications have become a real scourge for consumers, businesses and even government institutions. Unfortunately, there's no end in sight, so here's what you should know.
It's not just your PC that's at risk
Most ransomware programs target computers running Windows, as it's the most popular operating system. However, ransomware applications for Android have also been around for a while and recently, several variants that infect Linux servers have been discovered.
Security researchers have also shown that ransomware programs can be easily created for Mac OS X and even for smart TVs, so these and others devices are likely to be targeted in the future, especially as the competition for victims increases among ransomware creators.
Law enforcement actions are few and far between
There have been some successful collaborations between law enforcement and private security companies to disrupt ransomware campaigns in the past. The most prominent case was Operation Tovar, which took over the Gameover ZeuS botnet in 2014 and recovered the encryption keys for CryptoLocker, a notorious ransomware program distributed by the botnet.
In most cases, however, law enforcement agencies are powerless in the face of ransomware, especially the variants that hide their command-and-control servers on the Tor anonymity network. This is reflected in the multiple cases of government agencies, police departments and hospitals that were affected by ransomware and decided to pay criminals to recover their files. An FBI official admitted at an event in October that in many cases the agency advises victims to pay the ransom if they don't have backups and there are no other alternatives.
Back up, back up, back up
Many users back up their sensitive data, but do it to an external hard drive that's always connected to their computer or to a network share. That's a mistake, because when a ransomware program infects a computer, it enumerates all accessible drives and network shares, so it will encrypt the files hosted in those locations too.
The best practice is to use what some people call the 3-2-1 rule: at least three copies of the data, stored in two different formats, with at least one of the copies stored off-site or offline.
You might get lucky, but don't count on it
Sometimes ransomware creators make mistakes in implementing their encryption algorithms, resulting in vulnerabilities that allow the recovery of the files without paying the ransom. There have been several cases where security companies were able to create free decryption tools for particular versions of ransomware programs. These are temporary solutions though, as most ransomware developers will quickly fix their errors and push out new versions.
There are other situations where security researchers take control of command-and-control servers used by the ransomware authors and make the decryption keys available to users for free. Unfortunately these cases are even rarer than vulnerabilities in the ransomware programs themselves.
Most security vendors discourage paying the ransom, because there's no guarantee that the attackers will provide the decryption key and because it ultimately encourages them.
If you decide to hold your ground, keep a copy of the affected files as you never know what might happen in the future. However, if those files are critical to your business and their recovery is time sensitive, there's little you can do other than pay up and hope that the criminals keep their word.
Prevention is best
Ransomware programs get distributed in a variety of ways, most commonly through malicious email attachments, Word documents with macro code and Web-based exploits launched from compromised websites or malicious advertisements. Many are also installed by other malware programs.
As such, following the most common security best practices is critical. Always keep the software on your computer up to date, especially the OS, browser and browser plug-ins like Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Java and Silverlight. Never enable the execution of macros in documents, unless you have verified their senders and have confirmed with them that the documents should contain such code. Carefully scrutinize emails, especially those that contain attachments, regardless of who appears to have sent them. Finally, perform your day-to day activities from a limited user account, not from an administrative one, and run an up-to-date antivirus program.
