Discovery of Malicious Code Evidence
Today's advanced computing environments with terabyte and beyond media require new approaches to rapidly and accurately identify the presence of malicious code. Beyond viruses and worms the threat of botnets, keyloggers, anti-forensic wireless hacking tools, rootkits, steganography and other threats is essential knowledge for the investigator. Knowing what is installed and in use by the adversary can help prove intent, cognizance of guilt and a better overall picture of the situation. During this hands-on lab session class participants will be exposed to the advanced malware technologies being utilized by today's cyber criminals. During the lab session participants will utilize WetStone's award winning malware discovery software, Gargoyle Investigator™, to detect and analyze the presence of malware found during a mock investigation.
Participants must bring their own laptop with windows XP or above, if they wish to participate in the lab exercise. Participants that desire to become Gargoyle Investigator Certified may choose to take a certification exam at no charge.
Assessing Source Code Vulnerabilities and their impact
Assessing and mitigating vulnerabilities in web sites, databases and applications that handle personal identifying information (PII) or electronic protected health information (EPHI) is vital. During the past year the sophistication of these vulnerabilities has grown and has become increasingly difficult to investigate without both sophisticated tools and knowledge.
Participants will be given the opportunity to examine various web, database and application vulnerabilities along with specialized tools used by criminals that exploit them. In addition, a host of assessment and mitigation methodologies will be reviewed, demonstrated and discussed. This is a lecture / demonstration only class, and does not include a lab session.

The information provided was accurate when it was published; however, legislative provisions and requirements can change at any time. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)makes every effort to provide timely updates to this publication and its Web site.
If you have information about suspicious cross-border activity, please call the Border Watch toll-free line at 1-888-502-9060.
You will find the information in this publication helpful if you are:
The CBSA considers one year to be one calendar year from your date of departure. For example, if you leave on January 1, 2011, and return on January 1, 2012, you are considered to have been absent for one year. For more information consult the publication called Immigrating or Returning to Live in Canada on the CBSA Web site.
If you are suffering from a communicable disease upon your return to Canada, or if you have been in close contact with someone with a communicable disease, you are obligated to inform a border services officer or a quarantine officer, who can determine if you require further assessment. If you have been ill while travelling or become ill after your return to Canada, consult and inform a Canadian doctor that you have travelled abroad, where you were and what, if any, treatment or medical care you received (e.g., medications, blood transfusions, injections, dental care or surgery).
Before your return to Canada, you should prepare two copies of a list (preferably typewritten) of all the goods you intend to bring into Canada as part of your personal effects. Include the value, make, model and serial numbers, where applicable.
Since jewellery is difficult to describe accurately, it is best to use the wording from your insurance policy or jeweller's appraisal and to include photographs that have been dated and signed by the jeweller or a gemologist. You should describe each item of jewellery on the list of goods you submit. This information makes it easier to identify the jewellery when you return to Canada, and later if you return from a trip abroad with this jewellery.
Divide the list into two sections. In the first section, list the goods you are bringing with you; in the second, list the goods to follow. Goods that arrive later will only qualify for duty- and tax-free importation under your entitlement as a former resident if they are on your original list.
To qualify for duty- and tax-free importation, you must have owned, possessed and used the goods for at least six months prior to your return to live in Canada. The six-month stipulation is waived if you have been away from Canada for five years or more.
Replacement goods are also exempt from the six-month requirement. To qualify for the exemption, the goods must be replacements for goods that would have met the six-month ownership, possession and use requirements, except for the fact that they were lost or destroyed as the result of a fire, a theft, an accident or another unforeseen circumstance. In addition, replacement goods must be of a similar class and about the same value as the goods they are replacing.
For further information, consult the publication called Immigrating or Returning to Live in Canada available on the CBSA Web site.
Any single personal or household item (including an automobile) that is worth more than CAN$10,000 on the date you import it, is subject to applicable duty and taxes on the amount that is over CAN$10,000. The item must have been acquired after March 31, 1977.
When you arrive in Canada, even if you have no goods with you at the time of entry, you must give your list of goods to the border services officer at the first point of arrival in Canada. Based on the list of goods you submit, the officer will complete a Form B4 , Personal Effects Accounting Document, for you, assign a file number to it, and give you a copy of the completed form as a receipt. You will need to present your copy of the form to claim free importation of your unaccompanied goods when they arrive.
You can make the process easier by filling out Form B4 as completely as possible, in advance. Form B4 is available by selecting "Publications and forms" on the CBSA Web site or by calling the Border Information Service at one of the telephone numbers listed in the section called "Additional Information."
If you sell or give the goods away within the first year of importing them into Canada, duty- and tax-free, you have to pay any applicable duty and taxes immediately. If you divert the goods for commercial use, the same rule applies.
As part of your former resident's entitlement, you can include goods for your personal and household use such as clothing and linen, furniture, furnishings, appliances, etc. For a more detailed list, consult the publication called Immigrating or Returning to Live in Canada on the CBSA Web site.
If you import goods that you use or will use in a trade, such as vehicles, farm equipment or other capital equipment for use in construction, contracting or manufacturing, you may have to meet several government requirements, and must pay the goods and services tax (GST), as well as any applicable duty on these items.
You are entitled to claim a duty- and tax-free personal exemption of a maximum value of CAN$800 for goods you acquired abroad or while in transit. You do not have to own, possess, or use these goods before you return to Canada to resume residence.
You can include in your personal exemption the following amounts of alcoholic beverages* and tobacco products as long as these items are in your possession with you when you arrive in Canada.
*Alcoholic beverages are products that exceed 0.5% alcohol by volume. Minimum ages for the importation of alcoholic beverages, as prescribed by provincial or territorial authorities, are 18 years for the provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec and 19 years for the remaining provinces and territories.
You may import additional quantities of alcoholic beverages above your personal exemption, as long as they are within the limits set by the province or territory where you enter Canada. If you intend to ship alcoholic beverages to Canada, contact the appropriate provincial or territorial liquor control authority in advance of your arrival in Canada.
** If you are 18 years of age or over, you are allowed to bring in all of the above-mentioned amounts of tobacco products into Canada, free of duty and taxes within your personal exemption, if they have an excise stamp "DUTY PAID CANADA DROIT ACQUITTÉ."
If you include cigarettes, tobacco sticks or manufactured tobacco in your personal exemption, a partial exemption may only apply. You will have to pay a special duty on these products unless they have an excise stamp "DUTY PAID CANADA DROIT ACQUITTÉ." You will find Canadian-made products sold at duty-free shops marked this way.
The Excise Act 2001 limits the amount of tobacco products that can be imported (or possessed) by an individual for personal use to five units if the product does not have an excise stamp "DUTY PAID CANADA DROIT ACQUITTÉ". One unit of tobacco products consists of either 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars, 200 grams of manufactured tobacco or 200 tobacco sticks.
If you are importing or exporting monetary instruments equal to or greater than CAN$10,000 (or the equivalent in a foreign currency), you must report this to the CBSA when you arrive in Canada or before you leave. This applies to either cash or other monetary instruments. For more information, please refer to the publication called Crossing the border with $10,000 or more?
Before importing restricted or prohibited items, consult the publication called Immigrating or Returning to Live in Canada to ensure that the items which you are planning to import are admissible to Canada.
Examples are firearms and weapons, explosives, fireworks and ammunition, goods subject to import controls (such as clothing, handbags and textiles), food, plant, and animal products and related products, consumer products (such as baby walkers and jequirity beans), endangered species, obscenity, child pornography, hate propaganda, prescription drugs and certain antiquities.
Before you purchase or import a vehicle, you should consult the publication called Importing a Vehicle Into Canada.
For more information within Canada, call the Border Information Service at 1-800-461-9999. From outside Canada, call 204-983-3500 or 506-636-5064 (long distance charges will apply). Agents are available Monday to Friday (08:00-16:00 local time/except holidays). TTY is also available within Canada at 1-866-335-3237.
You may obtain further information by consulting the publications (Guides and Brochures) available on the CBSA Web site at www.cbsa.gc.ca.

The Chicago Public School Board plan to raise taxes on homeowners is getting support from an unlikely source.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel defends the proposed $150 million property tax increase to balance the 2012 budget.
That's the maximum amount allowed by law.
The increase comes to about $84 a year on a $250,000 home
It wasn't too long ago that Emanuel said he wouldn't raise taxes.
Last April, Emanuel was asked whether he would support a property tax hike for Chicago's public schools. His answer could not have been clearer.
"No, I do not support it," he said.
The mayor sang a new tune on Tuesday.
"It's not something I relish," Emanuel said. "It's about the tough choices we have to do."
So what changed?
Mayor Emanuel said CPS leadership - facing a $700 million deficit - did a good job squeezing new efficiencies out of the system, cutting $400 million of fat out of the bloated school bureaucracy.
"They've reigned in the bureaucracy and they've made fundamental reforms," Emanuel said. "Close to 60-percent of the savings were found through cuts and reforms."
But it's getting a frosty reception in City Council.
"Yes, they've made cuts. We know the numbers are down," Alderman Bob Fioretti said. "But a property tax increase at this time has a devastating effect on our economy and our fragile housing market here in the City of Chicago."
Mayor Emanuel also argues the tax hike is tied to improvements in critical school programs, and should be regarded as an investment in Chicago's future.
"Other school systems throughout the country are cutting early childhood and pre-kindergarten," Emanuel said. "We're expanding it. Other school systems are cutting gifted programs like the magnet. We're expanding it."
Chicago's Teachers Union, who saw their pay frozen this year, said the property tax hike doesn't go far enough.
"Chicago's children need more than another Band-Aid approach," Union President Karen Lewis said in a statement. "The proposed property tax increase doesn't begin to fix the massive funding inequities in our schools."
Aldermen may not like the tax hike, but there's not much they can do about it.
The school board gets the only vote - and that'll come after a quick round of public hearings that ought to generate plenty of heat.
The mayor has said he will not consider a property tax hike to fix the city's budget problems. He feels there's still too much waste and bureaucracy at City Hall.

Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?-- Ebeneezer Scrooge, Charles Dickens' "A Christmas
WISN-TV in Milwaukee reports:
A Milwaukee teacher is charged with disorderly conduct after punishing a first-grader by cutting her hair.
Lamya Cammon is angry, confused, and scared by the incident last week in which the apparently frustrated teacher cut one of her braids off after she wouldn't stop playing with them in class. Cammon, 7, sports a few dozen braids, but one is conspicuously absent. "She told me to stop playing with it. Then cut it off and sent me back to my desk," Cammon said. Cammon's a first-grader at Congress Elementary and said her teacher used a pair of classroom scissors to cut off one of the braids after she absent-mindedly kept playing with them. Read more...
This report made my breath catch in my throat.
What would so enrage an adult who is sworn to assist in the growth and development of children to make her lure a sweet-faced little girl with the promise of candy then hack off a piece of the child's hair with sharp scissors, sending her back to her desk with a smug, "Now, what are you going to go home and say to your mama?" The action is gratuitously mean and mentally abusive.
Parents send their little ones to school to be educated, to spark their intellect, to make them curious, useful, creative people and good citizens. Discipline has its place in the molding of young minds. But it is hard to see how the draconian punishment meted out by Layma Cammon's teacher will contribute to making the child a stable and productive adult. The actions of the Milwaukee teacher, who has since been issued a meager fine, seem more suited to a Dickensian tale than a modern school system.
Speaking of Dickens, I took my nieces and nephew to see the play, "A Christmas Carol" on Sunday. There is scene when Ebeneezer Scrooge, accompanied by The Ghost of Christmas Past, watches himself as an innocent young boy being smacked with a ruler by a uncaring and mercenary headmaster for the sin of coughing. Fans of the classic holiday tale may remember that Scrooge's mistreatment as a young, poor child, forged him into the hard man he eventually became.
The principal forces that shaped A Christmas Carol were the profoundly humiliating experiences of the author's childhood, his sympathy during the decades of the 1830s and 1840s with the poor, especially children...
We don't treat marginalized children this way anymore...Do we?
I know nothing of the financial status of Lamya Cammon's family. I do not know if she is marginalized by her class. But I can see that she is a little black girl. And experience tells me how little society values black children, girls in particular. I know the sorry state of education in many black communities. I know how little attention is given when black girls and women go missing. I know what happens when a popular R&B artist is seen on videotape sexually abusing an underage black girl. And now I know what happens when a teacher calls a young, black girl to the front of a classroom and physically assaults her. The teacher is fined less than $200 and allowed to continue teaching other children. It is no wonder that in the classic novel, "The Bluest Eye," Pecola Breedlove yearns to be a litte, white girl with blond curls and blue eyes--a girl that people find lovely and want to love and nurture and protect. We just don't seem to cherish black girls in the way we do other girls. We don't seem driven to protect them.
Note some of the reaction to the incident from commenters on the WISN-TV Web site:
Maybe if the kids actually paid attention and listened to their teacher none of this would have happened.
Wow, MPS is such a joke. I don't know what's worse, the fact that a seven year old and her teacher can't use proper English or the fact that the scummy teachers union blames the budget. Because I work for the city, I'm held hostage and will have to pay around 12,000 dollars a year to send my kids (when I have them) to private school to keep them away from MPS... What a joke.
Again, David I do agree with you! This is not an issue over RACE, and in NOWHERE of any of my comments, did I ever state such a rude justure, Mr. cryaway! I am not against any color, creed, race, or religion, I love people of all races, color, etc! The teacher was wrong to cut her hair, but she needs to be corrected and learn better stress management, and as far as the child goes, we really do not know what actually happened in class? Does the child get disciplined at home? That has a lot to do with it also, in behavior, or does she have some type of attention disorder, which would give a reason for the behavior? When we were in school, we had our fingers hit with a ruler, if we did not pay attention, and we learned and paid attention! Plus, the teachers then, were not charged with any type of crime, and the students were actually smarter than today! I feel sorry for the child and her parent, and yes, I would be upset if it were my daughter, but I would completely investitgate the dilemma first before jumping to concluetions.
The kid wasn't listening to the teacher. The teacher was stressed, obviously for countless other reasons. The teacher did something very stupid. The kid lost a braid. To be honest, I think you all should re-read your comments and reflect on your own issues, because I think this story is not so complicated.
I am a bit awed by the responses I'm reading. While the behavior by the teacher was wrong, by all means it is NOT child abuse... how can you put this on the same level as a child being beaten? What we don't know yet is what the exact behavior the child was exhibiting, and was it chronic behavior? Again, the cutting was not appropriate, but I am wondering what the roll of the child was in all of this?
Lamya should be happy that it was just a braid. It will grow back in time. The momentary humiliation could have been a lesson to serve her well in adulthood (a "teachable moment, as Mr. O. likes to say), except that her mother completely negated it with her tirade and taught her daughter the exact opposite. Now the girl will think you can get away with anything, as long as you bellyache and whine about it enough. Instead of punishing the teacher, she should be praised for trying to teach her young charges about citizenship and paying attention in class. I remember being humiliated when I was in grade school; the result is that I can now sit still and be attentive in a meeting or classroom situation. It's annoying to have to share those spaces with adults in their 30s and 40s who still act like Lamya.Now, I should mention that several commenters found the actions of Lamya Cammon's teacher outrageous. But far too many sounded like the ones above: There must be something the public doesn't know. The seven-year-old must have brought the punishment on herself by constant and flagrant hair playing...and by speaking poor English. Lamya must be guilty somehow. If she is not punished now, she may grow up to be a 40-year-old ne-er-do-well. After all, it's annoying to have to share those spaces with adults in their 30s and 40s who still act like Lamya. You know which folks the commenter is talking about...don't you?
Back to Dickens...reading the comments above made me think of Scrooge's retort when asked to help the poor during the holiday season. He didn't see the value. And some folks clearly don't see the value in nurturing children like Lamya--of cherishing them, treating them like they matter, like they have a future. Some children we treat as innocent blessings. Others, like criminals.
What is the point of molding little black girls into curious, useful, creative people and good citizens?
Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?

A Brenham Toddler's 2nd Birthday Gift Will Be His Sound
Tuesday, March 26th, 2013
Thanks to the fine doctors at The Med!
From KBTX.com:
For the first time in Brazos Valley history, doctors with the College Station Medical Center have performed Cochlear Implant Surgeries on two deaf children from Brenham in hopes of restoring their hearing.
Before now, parents of hearing impaired children had to go to out of town to get the procedure.
Cadyn Beard, 1 year old, was the second child to have the surgery in the Brazos Valley. The first surgery was done earlier that same day at the Med.
…Next week, doctors at the Med will be turning on his Cochlear Implant for the first time.

Patti Smith, who contributed several photographs to the book to illustrate the poems of her life-long friend and mentor, will be on hand to celebrate the release, along with Lenny Kaye from her band.Advance Praise for Body of Water"...This book is a romantic, surreal, lyrical Voyage. It twists and turns with the playful tide of poetic vision, enhanced by the delicate measures of Patti Smith's photography. Kudos all around.†--Anne Waldman"Reading Janet Hamill now, as I have over the last thirty years, I'm amazed again at the particulars of the world her poetry makes – a night world, as I read it, peopled with bright creatures & splashes of color, beautiful & terrifying by turns....With this & much more, she has become indispensable.†--Jerome RothenbergWith its unbridled surrealistic, hypnotic imagery, Janet Hamill's alchemy of language gives us back communion with our souls. With a magician's grace she reminds us of the enchantment of our being. Hers is a music both modern and magik. --Maureen Owen"...Hamill's mastery of form and feeling comes together to create a poem that delicately examines celebrity, gallantry, silence, talent, and beauty. Only a poet could do that. Or maybe only Janet Hamill.†--Patricia Spears JonesBowery Books gratefully acknowledges that this publication is made possible with public funds from The New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

Friday is my sewing day, and a friend recently asked me to make a wallet for her, inspired by this I made another today.
Think my old one is going and this will take its place:)
Enjoy your weekend.
Today I completed my second A4 Quilt top for our local quilt group challenge. The top quilt in the photo above was the inspiration and the bottom my interpretation of it. It couldn't be more different, I tried to follow the lines of the quilt for the basis to it, not sure. Not sure I succeeded, it certainly changes the direction for the next quilter in line.
Linking with Nina's 'Off the wall Friday'
Enjoy your weekend.
It's the new year, so why not challenge myself to something I've never done before?
We were set a challenge at the local quilt group I attend, taking inspiration from a photograph or picture chosen by another member we had to create a quilt top, A4 size, to pass onto the next person, who then takes inspiration from only the quilt top previous in line, creating a 'Chinese whisper' effect when they create their own piece. Each member submitted their own picture, none of which we see apart from the one given to us at the start of this challenge. It's going to be fun seeing how the theme developed at the end of six months. Looking for tips from Melody Johnson and her fibremania blog, this quilt top was totally constructed by fusing fabric, I added the stitching today. The process was exciting and something I will definitely try again.
Happy new year.
If you are looking for more inspiration head over to Nina's Off The Wall Friday where I will be linking this post:)
Using some of the fabric I dyed last week I turned this t-shirt…
into something prettier…
Now I think I need to refashion the neck and size so my little one might want to wear it:)
The method I used is reverse applique, quick and effective don't you think, more on the refashioning to come.
Happy sewing,
I tried a different approach to dyeing this week, using three primary colours plus black, jars as well as plastic bags – these fabrics have all been dyed with the low-water immersion technique. I found Ann Johnston's book 'color by accident' fantastic inspiration and got some surprising and mixed results.
This is such a messy, wet and fun process.
I've got one more batch still to come, then it's time to talk what to do with all these fab colours. And perhaps begin to explore some surface design techniques too.
Happy mid-week:)
I haven't had my sewing machine out for more than a month and I do miss it, instead to keep me in touch with something crafty I've been doing a bit of dyeing, experimenting with different hues of the same colour….
It's been fun, more to follow soon and then perhaps a little sewing time too:)

Judith Levine
SOURCE: "Theory of Relativity," in VLS, No. 30, September, 1992, p. 17.
Levine is an American journalist and nonfiction writer. In the following excerpt, she lauds Ernaux's focus on language, class, and familial relationships in A Man's Place.
The class mobility of a family's first educated child is a story of hope and betrayal, pride and uneasy rivalry, and often filial guilt. Annie Ernaux's A Man's Place tells this story in the spare and uninflected language that characterizes the writer's work—here felicitously translated from the French by Tanya Leslie. Ernaux's narrative-splintering self-interrogations admit to the memoirist's intrinsic unreliability; they solidify, rather than undermine, the reader's trust, making A Man's Place a work of ruthless authenticity.
A Man's Place (La Place, 1983) is the second...

ROXY Pro Gold Coast 2014 #ROXYpro
The first stop of the 2014 ASP World Tour, the ROXY Pro Gold Coast, officially kicks off March 1st. It's summer in Australia so expect sunshine, bikinis and some epic surfing with surprises along the way (you'll see).
This also marks the first time the ASP is officially taking over the tour and we're excited to see the changes to support women's surfing around the world. Roxy team riders Stephanie Gilmore @StephanieGilmore , Sally Fitzgibbons @Sally_Fitz and Bianca Buitendag @BiancaBuitendag will begin their season alongside other familiar faces on the new Women's ASP World Championship Tour [WCT]. A favorite spot of the WCT for more reasons than one, the Gold Coast – Snapper Rocks (better known as Australia's Super Bank) hosts a perfect right-hand point and boosts the premier amphitheater setting to experience the action firsthand (just see the pictures for a taste)…And the weather looks in our favor as well!
Roxy's very own Rosy Hodge will also be taking over as part of the core commentary team for the ASP. Nothing beats the South African beauty and her quick witted reporting (nothing – period), so we're stoked to see her representing the tour.
So…get ready for some giveaways (check back here soon), follow ROXY on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for all the latest updates and don't forget to watch live on the ASP's new event website.
In the meantime, let the trailer set the stage and get a taste of what's to come for the 13th edition of the ROXY Pro Gold Coast!

The concept of natural personal care—products made without artificial or animal ingredients or chemicals—is one whose time has come. Tom's of Maine has been at the forefront of this innovative idea since their founding in 1970, and thanks to this early leadership, today it is the number one natural care brand, with nearly 200 employees and 90 oral and body care products found at more than 40,000 retail outlets across the country and world.
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Tom's of Maine - Natural Toothpaste Sensitive Fluoride-Free Wintermint - 4 oz. (113 g)
Tom's of Maine uses the same FDA-allowed, maximum strength ingredient to fight tooth sensitivity as the leading brand. Tom's sources naturally occurring nitrate ore for their active ingredient Potassium Nitrate, clinically proven to help reduce and relieve your painful sensitivity caused by exposed dentin on the surface of your teeth.
Some consumers prefer a product without fluoride, which is why Tom's is pleased to offer a fluoride-free version of their sensitive toothpaste!
Here are the things that Tom's of Maine does not put in their products:
Animal ingredients Tom's of Maine's support of non-animal-testing models also includes the belief that they don't need to use animal ingredients to create effective products. Just one example: glycerin, used in toothpastes and soaps, is often made from animal ingredients, but theirs is vegetable-based.
Artificial colorantsBecause Tom's does not add artificial colorants, the appearance of our products may vary from batch to batch.
Artificial flavorings or scents Tom's of Maine does not use any synthetic flavors, colorants, or scents. The customers that Tom's caters to prefer the fresh, natural taste and smell of herbs, fruits, and flowers (or no scent at all!).
Artificial preservatives (EDTA, formaldehyde, parabens, etc.)Natural preservatives work as well or better than artificial alternatives. For example, they use rosemary to help guard freshness in our soaps.
Ethylene glycol Ethylene glycol can be found in hair care products and facial/body washes as a fragrance ingredient, a solvent, and as an aid in controlling viscosity. Tom's of Maine uses water and ingredients derived from corn, coconut and palm kernel oils, and sea salt to control consistency in our body washes, and natural fragrances in all of Tom's products.
GlutenAside from Tom's of Maine liquid hand soap and body wash, which contain wheat protein, all other Tom's of Maine products are gluten-free. They do not use alcohol, casein or caseinate, MSG, wheat, oats, barley, rye, malt, spelt, kamut, HPP, or HVP. None of their flavor oils are grain-distilled. Tom's does not use flour of any kind in their manufacturing process for conveyor belts or for any other purpose, and their containers are not dusted with flour before filling.
Grapefruit seed extractStudies have shown that natural preparations of this ingredient do not show antimicrobial activity; instead, it is commercial preparations that include synthetic antimicrobials or preservatives that show antimicrobial activity due to those artificial ingredients. Tom's instead uses hops for their natural antimicrobial action in their deodorants. (Armando, C., Maythe, S., Beatriz, N. P. Antioxidant activity of grapefruit seed extract on vegetable oils. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 1997 Dec:77(4):463-467.)
ParabensParabens are used as fragrance ingredients or as preservatives. Tom's of Maine relies instead on natural preservatives and ingredients.
PeroxidesTom's of Maine does not use bleach or peroxide in our whitening toothpastes; instead they use silica from sand to clean your teeth and create a whiter appearance.
PhthalatesPhthalates are used to improve the performance of some personal care/cosmetic products (for example, to fix fragrance in a formula), but Tom's of Maine has always avoided this class of ingredient.
Saccharin or other artificial sweeteners Many conventional toothpastes contain artificial sweeteners; our customers prefer a less-sweet natural flavor. Tom's of Maine uses natural sweeteners.
Adults and children 12 years of age and older apply at least a 1-inch strip of the product onto a soft bristle toothbrush. Brush teeth thoroughly at least 1 minute twice a day (morning and evening) or as recommended by a dentist or physician. Make sure to brush all sensitive areas of the teeth.
Children under 12 years of age: consult a dentist or physician.
When using this product, do not use longer than 4 weeks unless recommended by a dentist or physician.
Stop use and ask a dentist if the problem persists or worsens. Sensitive teeth may indicate a serious problem that may need prompt care by a dentist.
Active Ingredients PurposePotassium nitrate 5% Tooth desensitizer
Inactive ingredientssorbitol, water, hydrated silicas, xylitol, glycerin, organic Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, natural flavors, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine, xanthan gum, titanium dioxide.

11 Weekend Makeover Projects
Redo Your Front Door
Give your house curb appeal with these fast fixes for your front door. A fresh coat of paint, and a few accessories, can change the entire look of your home!
Create an Instant Mudroom
Start with a bench — it provides both a focal point and a place to slip on boots; individual cubbies offer family members a catchall for scarves and gloves. A boot tray collects shoes along with drips and mud; a rug softens the surface underfoot. Then use accessories to establish your style.
Easy Porch Makeover
A few small (and affordable) solutions can turn a bare front gallery into a full-fledged outdoor room.
Turn Old Chairs into a Bench
All it takes is three rickety old chairs, a screwdriver, a salvaged plank, and some wood glue to make this charming bench, perfect for a mudroom or foyer.
Update Your Sink
An elegant faucet will create a focal point that de-emphasizes a less-than-pristine kitchen sink. For a country touch, try a bridge faucet.
Get "Built-In" Dining Room Cabinets
An unfinished wood corner cabinet saves money when a few deft decorating tricks are applied. Painted the same color as the dining room's walls, it gives the impression that it was built in and original to the house.
Conquer Your Closet
Conquer closet clutter once and for all! Begin by taking inventory of the essentials that must be stored. Do this as you sort through your wardrobe. Then you can evaluate the space for its real potential.
Bathroom Display Shelf
Add shelving to your powder room to hold pretty toiletries. Remove the back of an old wine crate or wooden box. Make shelves to fit inside the box, then add a bit of glamour by fastening a gilded frame onto the front of the unit. For an antique finish, spray-paint with Krylon Crystal Color.
Two-Day Apartment Makeover
With a little planning and a few good friends, you can redo your entire home in a weekend!
Create a Stairway Gallery
Transform a boring, old stairway into a gallery for all of your favorite artwork! All it takes is a little free time and a fresh coat of paint.

Following Ed Sheeran 's earlier tweet that a video done entirely in Legos was in the works, the pieces have snapped together for the video premiere of "Lego House (Lego Version)." The singer took to Twitter to announce the debut of the all-Lego video, which was animated by Dylan Woodley.
The video features a split screen: one side shows the original video, while the other side is its Lego equivalent. The video shows actor Rupert Grint -- better known as Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter movies -- and his Lego twin as they stalk Ed and his Lego equivalent.
Fans should let go of any concerns that the Lego video differs drastically from the original. It's essentially a shot-by-shot remake of the original "Lego House" video, complete with the scene where the real Lego Ed comes face-to-face with stalker Lego Rupert as he's escorted by security out of a concert, only to later console himself on his Lego couch with his Lego Ed Sheeran mannequin.
Fans seem pretty stoked about the unique video treatment. Several tweeted their support for the clip, with one complimenting Ed for making such a cute Lego figure and another recommending that any documentary about the singer's life also be done in Legos.

THE MP for North East Hampshire voted against the gay marriage bill, but said his opinion might yet swing the other way.
James Arbuthnot, whose constituency includes Bramley and Odiham, was one of 175 MPs to vote against the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill that was debated in Parliament on Tuesday last week.
A total of 400 MPs voted in favour of the bill which was introduced by Basingstoke MP Maria Miller, Minister for Women and Equalities. MPs were given a free vote, meaning they were not ordered to vote in a particular way by their political parties.
In a statement, Mr Arbuthnot said he voted against gay marriage but admitted being uncertain during the debate.
He said: "I voted as I did because my instinct, my upbringing and our history made me think that marriage ought to be between a man and a woman, and that we should change that law only if a strong case had been made for doing so.
"I felt there had been insufficient warning to, or preparation of, the country for this change. And given that I was so torn, I felt that it would be arrogant of me to do other than give great weight to the views of my constituents, who had written to me overwhelmingly opposed to the bill."
He added that the support shown meant the bill would go through "and the world will not come to an end, neither will our society descend into decadence or immorality as a result".
He said: "I shall analyse the discussion, and may well find myself persuaded to support the third reading of the bill."
* In a separate development, Mr Arbuthnot has been appointed parliamentary patron for the Rural Fair Share scheme, a lobby group that argues rural areas do not receive as much Government support as urban areas.
The campaign states that people living in rural areas earn less on average than urban-dwellers, pay more in council tax and receive less in government grants.
Mr Arbuthnot said: "Rural areas tend to be good stewards of public funds and make do with what is offered. This has sometimes been used as an excuse to provide them with less funding."
There are around 45 members of the cross-party group.

Universal Audio 2-610 Silverface Dual Channel Mic PreThe Universal Audio 2-610 is a two-channel tube microphone preamplifier based on the legendary Universal Audio 610 modular console, which was never commercially available (though Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles each had one). The UA 610 has left its mark on countless classic recordings from Sinatra to Pet Sounds to Van Halen to LA Woman. Designed by Bill Putnam, the Universal Audio 610 was among the first modular recording consoles. Early Universal Audio consoles were used in all of Putnam's studios including Universal Recording in Chicago and United Western in Los Angeles. Many prominent engineers such as Bruce Swedien began their careers in these studios with this classic rotary knob console. Along with the 610, UA's 1176LN Limiting Amplifier and Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifier have remained studio standards since their introduction and continue to define the sound of modern music.Unlike many vintage "style" mic pres, the 2-610 is true to the design of its predecessor, the Universal Audio 610. The expertise of Universal Audio in analog design translates into a classic tube preamplifier with all of the character of its vintage predecessor, yet designed for the requirements and rigor of the modern studio. Universal Audio has taken great care to preserve the quality and character of the original, while adding functionality with more boost/cut settings, phantom power, direct inputs and impedance controls.The Universal Audio 2-610 Mic Pre is the perfect tool for tracking and ideal when used in conjunction with a Universal Audio compressor such as the 1176LN and Teletronix LA-2A. Whether you're running pure analog or seeking to enhance your digital audio workstation, the 2-610 will bring classic tube character to your recording.

Why I Wished I Hadn't Switched to Android
Alec is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) first introduced the iPhone, I knew I had to get one. At $499 for the 4GB model and $599 for the 8GB model, at that time it was just too expensive for me. After the newer iPhone 3G came out in 2008, along with the price drop to $199, that's when I jumped on board. I first bought the iPhone 3G a few weeks after it came out, and have upgraded to every other generation, up until the iPhone 5.
After the iPhone 5 came out, my contract had just expired and I was itching to get a new phone. I went to every Apple store in the area to get one, but every store was sold out and didn't know when new shipments were arriving. Being home for only a week before heading back to college, I really couldn't wait to get a new phone, and if I didn't get one, I'd be stuck with the iPhone 4 until I went back home in the Summer.
Having read many reviews online, and after hearing how great the new Samsung Galaxy S3 was, I decided to go ahead and buy the GS3. The Galaxy S3 for those of you who don't know uses Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android operating system, which is the lead competitor to Apple's iOS.
I've had the GS3 for a few months now, and to be honest, I miss the iPhone. Don't get me wrong, the Android operating system is great and is easy to use; it's just the little things that get me. For example, I can't type with one hand, I need to hold the phone with two hands and use two thumbs to type (because the phone is too big to hold in one hand and type at the same time). Also, I enjoy the iPhone's notification system better than Androids'. I don't get the popups and same type of alerts as the iPhone.
It may look like I'm being picky, but both phones are really good, and in fact the only way to differentiate them is by discussing the small details. Android has a lot to offer, but as a long time iPhone user, I can't seem to shake it off. When my contract expires, I do not plan to get another Android.
What This Means:
That's the main problem with phones today. Android people have a tough time switching to iPhone, saying it's more restrictive and less customizable, and iPhone users miss holding a sleek and sexy device. In addition, there seems to be a new player in town with BlackBerry's new Z10 phone. From what I've read and seen, I'm not too impressed but I may be wrong. I haven't used the device, so we'll just have to wait and see.
I am NOT alone:
According to data derived from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech USA's consumer panel, "36% of iOS sales were derived from other smartphone users over the last year. The proportion of Android users moving towards the Apple brand increased: 19% of iOS sales over the last year were derived from Android users, compared to 9% in 2011."
That's almost 2 out of every 10 iPhones being sold to Android users!
Android currently has the lead of worldwide smartphone market share at 72% compared to Apple's market share of 14%. Remember, this is worldwide, and since most people overseas (mainly China and India) can't really afford iPhones, Android's lead makes sense (because it has cheaper models).
When combining those two data points, Android could still sell a record amount of smartphones, but Apple is selling more and more iPhones to previous Android users. What this means is that people are initially buying Android phones because they are cheap, and then realizing that iPhones are actually better, resulting in more people switching over.
The Bottom Line:
Google and Apple are the main players in the smartphone industry. Blackberry could be considered third with its 5% market share and possible growth resulting from the Z10 and Q10 phones. The fact of the matter is that people are initially buying Android phones, but are not repurchasing Android phones. With 50% of mobile users now using smartphones, the growth of the iPhone is exponential, whereas Android growth will be more bell-shaped. Blackberry could go anywhere, as we're going to have to wait for the sales figures to be released when the Z10 is released in March. Thanks for reading.

Grant doesn't communicate, says McCarthy
Friday 15 April 2011
Benni McCarthy has revealed that he cannot remember when he last spoke to West Ham manager Avram Grant. The South African striker recently had his contract at Upton Park terminated, having been taken out of the 25-man Premier League squad.
"I don't really know when I last spoke to him," McCarthy said. "But he's got a lot on his plate at the moment. I'm sure he could help his position if he'd maybe take a little bit more time to speak to players. That's what you do if you are a manager and you have a good relationship with players, you get results."
McCarthy also acknowledged that his fitness problems were partly self-inflicted. "I let myself down," he admitted. "I just went hiding under a rock because I couldn't deal with the fact I was injured."

An Americus family is staying in a hotel after strong winds knocked over a tree in their front yard, Wednesday night.
It hit their house and crushed their car.
Even so, the homeowner says it could have been a lot worse.
Carol Hartage describes the horrific noise she heard right before this tree snapped and came crashing down on her car and Columbia Avenue home.
"The winds were howling and everything and we just heard a swishing noise and we looked out and the tree was down on the car and house," said Hartage.
She is grateful because the damage could have been worse.
Hartage and her family were home when the tree tumbled over and says it barely missed the living room where her children were at the time.
She fought back tears thinking of what could have been.
"I was just trying to locate my children and make sure they were ok," said Hartage.
Not too far from the house on Highway 49 was another tree that fell, backing up traffic for hours.
One driver described the moment he saw the tree tipping over.
"It just fell. I saw it falling and I just stopped. Then I looked and said dang that's a tree across the road," said Patrick Harris.
No was hurt in either incident.
Hartage says although seeing the damage hurts, she's happy everyone is ok.
"I'm just thanking God that we were all fine. The martial thing can be replaced, but my family is what matters," said Hartage.
The Flint River Chapter of the American Red Cross has put the family in a hotel for the night.
Power crews hope to have all power restored in the Americus area by early in the morning.

Children who shine from within
"Because you shine from within," I said, touching my finger to her heart. "Not everybody sees it, but I do. I see it. And my job is to protect that light.

10 dog breeds that love and hate the water

7 signs your dog owns you
You might proudly call yourself a dog owner, pet parent or canine guardian, but let's be real: Your dog owns you. You might be laughing now, but think about it — you've surrendered the best seat on the sofa to him, you plan your entire weekend around his trips to the dog park, and you take him to the groomer more often than you get your own hair cut. And let's not forget who's in every photo on your Facebook and Instagram feeds. Sound familiar? We thought so. But in case you still think you're in charge, here are seven classic signs that your dog is the one calling the shots.
9 unusual dog breeds the vet is seeing more of
One of the best things about being a veterinarian is all the different dogs I get to meet. Of course, I love the Labs and Beagles and Boxers and Poodles, not to mention those crazy Canine Cocktails, or what my parents used to call Heinz 57s. They are among the more popular dogs out there, and I see a lot of them. In fact, it used to be that it was rare to see anything else. Here are nine dog breeds I sometimes see now that I didn't see in the past.

Narrow your search
The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.
The iPhone Bluetooth headset is a super stylish headset with a very easy pairing process made just for the iPhone, but we do wish it had a few more features plus a lower price tag.
The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
T-Mobile G1 Soft-Touch Stylus
Pricing not available
The LG G3 S, also known as the G3 Beat in Asia, is a smaller and cheaper version of the G3 Android smartphone.
Pricing not available
With the iPhone 4, Apple again shows that it is a powerful player in the smartphone wars. It won't be for everyone, the call quality and reception vary if you don't use a case, and AT&T's network remains a sticking point, but the handset's striking design, loaded feature set, and generally agreeable performance make it the best iPhone yet.
Though the new Xbox 360 certainly addresses most of the concerns we've had with the versions before it, we don't think it warrants a purchase if you already own an Xbox 360 in working order with an HDMI-out port and a hard drive.
Though it's a decent camera, the Sony Cyber-shot G3's Wi-Fi implementation is a disappointment, and makes the camera overpriced relative to nonwireless models, including its better designed but otherwise similar sibling, the DSC-T700.
Except for the black color and a slightly shorter cord, the Shure E4g earbud headphones are identical to the awesome-sounding E4cs.
The lighter version of the G3 flagship still has Android 4.4 KitKat and LG's charms, but a smaller price tag.

Summary: Since the dawn of time, the Faerie have taken. . . .For seventeen-year-old actress Kelley Winslow, faeries are just something from childhood stories. Then she meets Sonny Flannery, whose steel-gray eyes mask an equally steely determination to protect her.Sonny guards the Samhain Gate, which connects the mortal realm with the Faerie's enchanted, dangerous Otherworld. Usually kept shut by order of icy King Auberon, the Gate stands open but once a year.This year, as the time approaches when the Samhain Gate will swing wide and nightmarish Fae will fight their way into an unsuspecting human world, something different is happening . . . something wondrous and strange. And Kelley's eyes are opening not just to the Faerie that surround her but to the heritage that awaits her.Now Kelley must navigate deadly Faerie treachery-and her growing feelings for Sonny-in this dazzling page-turner filled with luminous romance.Wondrous Strange is a richly layered tale of love between faerie and mortal, betrayal between kings and queens, and magic . . . between author and reader.
