PC viruses have plagued computer users for years now. No matter how advanced the antiviruses get or how smart they become, there is always that new virus doing the rounds of the internet that manages to fool every antivirus on the planet. Currently, the situation is almost same with the ZeroAccess virus. The ZeroAccess Virus Removal process can be tricky!
What Is ZeroAccess Virus
The Trojan.ZeroAccess.B is a virus belonging to the Sirefef family and employs rootkit techniques on the infected computer. Traditionally rootkit viruses are very hard to detect and remove and it is no exception with the ZeroAccess virus. It alters registry entries, shuts down antivirus protection, disables firewall and creates hidden files to launch itself. It is also known to unleash other malwares or viruses in the system to make defence mechanisms completely useless. It can also patch Windows driver files with its own code for malicious reasons. Some variants of the ZeroAccess are known to connect to remote computers and send your personal information to them.
How to Identify and Remove ZeroAccess Virus
The infection mainly spreads through different application downloads and attachments. Once inside the PC, it has the ability to completely take control of the systems. Rootkit viruses are the hardest to remove among all variations of viruses so it can be tricky to get rid of the ZeroAccess virus. But if not removed quickly it might result in loss of all the data in the Hard Disk.
There are some methods to remove the ZeroAccess available in the internet. The signs of infection by ZeroAccess includes sudden slowdown of the PC and applications, frequent pop ups while surfing the net and random redirection to unwanted sites. One of the trusted methods of removing the virus manually is fairly easy to perform and the instructions are as follows:
Restart your PC and press F8 to bring up Windows Advanced Options Menu. Select the "Safe Mode With Networking" option and press Enter.
Open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl +Alt + Del and kill any processes created by the ZeroAccess virus.
Open run and type regedit. This will open the registry editor. Here you have to delete the malicious entries created by ZeroAccess virus. The following paths will have some entries created by the virus. Delete those entrties.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\random
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\run\ random
Find and delete the C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Desktop.ini and C:\WINDOWS\system32\ping.exe files. This should take care of the ZeroAccess virus issue.
There is another option available to help you with the process killing and registry editing process in case you are not confident doing them. Just follow the steps mentioned below:
Open Internet Explorer and go to Options-> Connections-> Lan Settings and if the check box under proxy server is checked, uncheck it.
There are several tools available free on the internet, such as: Combofix, MalwareBytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and more.
But all the antivirus companies are working on it at 24/7 and a proper solution will be out soon. Till then stay safe, do not download unknown files and keep this tutorial handy.

Women's Gymnastics
Club Search
Strategic Plan
The Women's Gymnastics committee with various sub-committees work to a four year Strategic Plan, which is pre-endorsed by Gymnastics Australia's Board of Management.
The four year plan is prepared via an extensive review, evaluation and consultation process co-ordinated within the Women's Gymnastics program area. This process begins in the final year of a business cycle (ie: 2012 for the 2013 - 2016 plan). The draft document is then presented to Gymnastics Australia's Board of Management, prior to key elements being presented to the Sport Program members for approval.
This planning process, which is adopted by all Gymsports, ensures that while each Gymsport is working towards their own unique outcomes and targets they are also contributing to the overall achievement of Gymnastics Australia's Vision, Mission and Goals.

Forages can become deadly in drought conditions
Feeding corn stalks, corn hay or corn silage to the herd this year could be akin to poisoning your cows. Given extreme drought conditions across much of cattle country, dryland corn crops are more likely to have high levels of nitrates this year. And the first sign of nitrate poisoning is usually dead cattle.

Fantasyland Expansion previews start Nov 19 at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
Written by Robert Niles
Walt Disney World announced today that previews for the latest phase of its Magic Kingdom Fantasyland expansion will begin on November 19. The official grand opening of the new additions will happen on December 6.Tweet
Concept art, from Disney, of the Be Our Guest restaurant.
This phase of the Fantasyland expansion includes the Under the Sea: Journey of The Little Mermaid ride, Be Our Guest table-service-for-dinner restaurant, the quick-service Gaston's Tavern, and the Enchanted Tales with Belle meet-and-greet.
We'd heard that previews for these new attractions will open for annual passholders in November. No word yet on when previews will be open to the public. As with most soft openings, there likely won't be a public announcement. Just show up and see if you get in. Also, no word on if Disney will be opening up a paid preview event, as it did for Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.
The final phase in the expansion, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train family roller coaster, will open in 2014.
Readers' Opinions
From 188.8.131.52 on August 7, 2012 at 3:29 PM
"...no word on if Disney will be opening up a paid preview event..."
It's Disney, why wouldn't they find some idiots who are willing to pay money to be the first to see a copy of a mediocer darkride, some restaurants and some shops.
From Amanda Jenkins on August 7, 2012 at 4:19 PM
This is exciting news. We will be there three days after the Grand Opening. I personally can't wait to see how this turned out.
From Dominick D on August 7, 2012 at 4:57 PM
I might attend a preview since I don't know how long I can wait, but I'll be counting the days! If they offer a pay preview, I would go then. And to the number person who said, and I quote:
"It's Disney, why wouldn't they find some idiots who are willing to pay money to be the first to see a copy of a mediocer darkride, some restaurants and some shops."
Isnt that a little harsh? I would want to avoid long lines at the "mediocer darkride" and be able to eat at a fancy restaurant without making a reservation, therefore I wouldn't be an idiot ;)
From Tracy Bates on August 7, 2012 at 6:42 PM
I've been on a waiting list for a DVC rental for the weekend after Thanksgiving for 2 months now.
Call it a hunch, but there isn't a prayer that anyone will cancel now.
From 220.127.116.11 on August 7, 2012 at 8:51 PM
I will be there the last few days of November/first few days of December. Is it too much to hope for soft openings while I'm there!?
From 18.104.22.168 on August 7, 2012 at 9:45 PM
I don't think an 8 rating qualifies as mediocre.
From 220.127.116.11 on August 7, 2012 at 10:07 PM
Don't be concerned with long lines at little mermaid. Its an omnimover It devours lines. I rode little mermaid the week it came out in Anaheim and the wait was only about 45 minutes. It'll rarely be over an hour ...mostly if it stops operating and the line builds up.
From 188.8.131.52 on August 7, 2012 at 10:33 PM
I am visting at the end of November/beginning if December. Is there a good chance we will catch the soft openings!?
From David Brown on August 8, 2012 at 12:05 AM
Gutted :(
We can only get to Orlando about once every 4 years or so and we'll be there the first two weeks of November. We'll leave on the 14th and you're telling me it will all open on the 19th... That's just too cruel.... :(
From Mark Kausch on August 8, 2012 at 12:17 AM
If the Ariel dark ride is anything like the DCA one, there won't be much in the way of lines. Not because it is - or isn't - mediocer (lol), but because it's a people eater.
From Dominick D on August 8, 2012 at 4:24 AM
Omnimovers are people eaters, but I expect MK to have longer lines due to the fact it's a more popular park.
From 22.214.171.124 on August 8, 2012 at 5:46 AM
Was just there this summer. Is it just me or all this hype for an average ride and a restaurant? And another ride in 2 more years? Seems they closed more than there opening. Send the Universal creators in and it would be double the rides, double the excitement and for half the budget, in half the time.
From Joseph Catlett on August 8, 2012 at 6:02 AM
Trust me here kids, Ariel is a mediocre dark ride. Think the 21st century version of Pinocchio's Daring Journey. I can pretty much guarantee the wait will NEVER exceed 30 minutes in the opening year except for maybe the opening week.
From Tom Rigg on August 8, 2012 at 6:43 AM
I think the first response to this article is a highlight of what some people get frustrated with when it comes to criticism. The remark is pretty unqualified and there is nothing constructive about it.
Whether or not the whole expansion is a success or not remains to be seen. And I don't think anybody expects The Little Mermaid to be an E ticket. What in Fantasyland is an E ticket?But that isn't the point.
The point, as it seems to me, is to make the whole of Fantasyland more engaging, immersive, and offer more space and experiences for families. It's already started to pay out on this with the indoor circus play area, adding an extra Dumbo, and the Casey Jr. water play area. And the environment looks to be a huge leap forward from what Fantasyland has offered up until now.
I will say that it makes me scratch my head when I hear that the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train won't be open till 2014. That seems like an awfully long time.
From Brian Bauer on August 8, 2012 at 7:14 AM
It was clarified in the comments of the Disney Blog that November 19th IS the beginning of soft openings for the general public.
Someone also e-mailed Disney and got a response saying AP previews were still not set but would be before 11/19.
Also, WDWMagic is reporting that Storybook Circus will also be fully open.
From Mark Kausch on August 8, 2012 at 7:58 AM
"Omnimovers are people eaters, but I expect MK to have longer lines due to the fact it's a more popular park."
Not sure that that is true at the moment. Nevertheless, from what I hear - and I don't get there that often, even though I'm an AP holder - there is rarely ANY line for TLM. Partly because people are doing other things *Cars Land*, partly because it is a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater, and yes, partly because there's not a whole lot of new ground broken on this ride. Or new water, I guess.
Point being, after the initial wave (sorry) of people for a new attraction, I don't expect any lines for this one. I was at DCA just last month, in the middle of summer, and walked right on to this A/C attraction which def isn't that old.
From Dominick D on August 8, 2012 at 10:27 AM
I'm looking forward to riding the ride, but like others said, I'm not expecting an E Ticket. The Mine Train will be the big E Ticket, so patience my friends, TLM is to stall us per say ;)
From 22.214.171.124 on August 8, 2012 at 11:00 AM
I don't understand why they're getting rid of snow white for the mine ride? I think Walt would've said "Lets have both!". Heck there's 2 rides based on alice, and two rides based on Dumbo at Disneyland! Snow white is more deserving of two rides than any animated film being the very first! Its a shame I never got to ride it as it seems to be better than the Disneyland version. Well I guess ill just have to wait for my Tokyo visit to see this ride...hope they have an English version just wouldn't be the same for me in Japanese haha.
From Anon Mouse on August 8, 2012 at 11:52 AM
The new Fantasyland is anti-climatic. There's only one new ride and a bunch of new EXPENSIVE restaurants. I miss the classic dark rides. There are few left.
From Jay R. on August 8, 2012 at 1:30 PM
Little Mermaid line at DCA goes fast. Hopeed on in about 10 minutes. I don't think it's a mediocre ride, it actually fits alongside the other "Fantasyland style" dark rides. While the tech is more advanced, it seems like they weren't TRYING to break the mode with this. So I wasn't expecting anything too revolutionary here, I'm just glad that the Disney Renaissance peeps are getting actual attractions!
From 188.8.131.52 on August 8, 2012 at 10:50 PM
Mine Train ride is not an E ticket. More like a c+ or D. Very dissapointed Fantasyland Expansion.
From 126.96.36.199 on August 8, 2012 at 10:58 PM
Ive heard many times in recent weeks that snow white was too scary. Well then they should get rid of haunted mansion and space mountain I know some kids that are scared of those rides too. Better yet get rid of any ride with conflict in the story that way no one can be scared or offended. Fear is one of the most thrilling sensations someone can experience and there is something powerful about introducing fear to children so that they can learn to overcome it. And colflict is essential to a story.Man i rememebr always being scared on snow white, pinocchio, mr toad, but i would never support losing those great rides. Being scared and going through scary things is part of life and very important for kids to know that. Seriously what a pathetic argument for closing an attraction.
Walt certainly wasn't opposed to "scary" being in his stories. The donkey scene in Pinocchio and the spindle scene in sleeping beauty are two of the scariest things I've ever seen in a cartoon. Oh and what do you know those are two of the most classic and acclaimed animated features ever made.
Now if you just tell me the rides closing cause the new snow white area is moving to the dwarves cottage so the ride must be closed because snow white has her own area of new fantasy land. Now that's a valid point and less hard to swallow.
From 188.8.131.52 on August 8, 2012 at 11:34 PM
The little mermaid ride is good. if they would have included the giant Ursula scene and a scene with human Ursula it would've been a great ride...maybe even the best of the classic dark rides! Although in DCA they didn't have the space for more scenes...in Orlando however they have plenty of space and should've added those scenes, continuing the tradition of improving Disneyland rides.
From Mark Kausch on August 9, 2012 at 12:35 AM
The thing I have against TLM is it seems to be weak in the storyline department, somewhat like Pinocchio. The songs are nice, the animatronics fairly advanced, but...
From Dominick D on August 9, 2012 at 11:55 AM
The Mine Train is in fact an E Ticket. An all new ride system and a massive coaster track makes it an E Ticket.
From 184.108.40.206 on August 10, 2012 at 12:43 AM
I wish Disney Would tell us WHEN in 2014 The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train will open..... so we know when to plan trips for. I don't like the idea of planning a trip there in May and then finding out it opens in July!
From Rob Pastor on August 10, 2012 at 6:42 AM
Dom: Massive coaster track? Your definition of massive must be minimal. True, the ride appears very themed. But there really isn't much to it. It's a stretch as an E ticket. The attraction was a last minute substitute for the originally scheduled meet & greet so I doubt much innovation went into it's design. It's basically a kids coaster with theme. The coaster car testing was done driving a mock up around a parking lot in a pick up truck bed. That's a little short on innovation.
From Dionne Oliver on August 10, 2012 at 7:04 AM
I'm so very happy!!!! My family and i are coming to Orlando 24th November,from the UK. So we will get to see the new area. So pleased,i had my fingers crossed it would open when we came. YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Chapter 12: Medical Emergency0 Reviews
Chapter 12: Medical Emergency
Roll sprinted through the house at breakneck speeds, twisting in and out of broken corridors, trying to get through to the outside to find where the police were. Dr. Light was trapped under the ceiling fall, still conscious, but bleeding. Where were those police? They should have been here by now.
She skidded to a stop before the security server room, which was upstairs. "Damn," she muttered. The stairs were out and she would have to walk all the way around to find an alternative route. There was no time for that. She pulled out her laser gun, the green visor automatically slid in place, and fired two shots at the ceiling. The floor collapsed in front of her. Jumping up on the rubble she hoisted herself up to the second floor, right in front of the security room. The grid of closed-circuit cameras and a large blinking computer in the wall were overseeing the grounds. According to the monitors, about eight police cars and two fire trucks were wailing outside the gate. Their occupants were just standing there, talking to themselves.
Roll picked up the speakerphone and clicked 'gate'. "Hey, get in here! We need medical attention!"
On the monitor, a cop jogged over to the gate and pushed the intercom button. "We'd like to but the security protocol is still up."
/Damn/, Roll thought, /it was/. Searching through the control panel she looked for the disabling mechanism. The outside grounds' security must have been activated when Wily burst in. It was meant for small intruders, not large hulking robots. The laser and motion sensors would instantly disable any police that tried to walk on.
She looked up at the computer. All the buttons and switches and not one label. Dr. Light never told her how to work the security program, it was all automated. "Computer, are you voice-activated?"
No response. Apparently not. She started flipping switches, turning some up and some down. The monitors flickered out. She flipped that switch back on. A warning on the outside camera flashed "Security disabled - perimeter."
Roll came back to the microphone. "It's off. Get in here."
The police sent one lone cop towards the house, apparently as a scout. He huffled in and entered the torn away wall that used to be the entrance foyer. He waved to his partners and the collection of EMT's ran in. Roll dropped the microphone and headed over to the foyer. Jumping down into the hole she had created, she sped down the hallway towards the front of the house and nearly ran into a firefighter.
"You. What happened here?" she said.
"Not important. Need assistance for Dr. Light. Follow me."
The firefighter called back to the others. "Charlie, get the parameds in here!" She followed after Roll.
Roll hurdled debris easily. The humans and helper robots climbed over it, not having her agility, but they still managed to keep up. They found Roll standing over a pile of rocks and wood like a loyal retriever.
"Aw, jeez," the firefighter said. "Get the shovelers out here now." The ones who had made it to the scene started pulling off wreckage as fast as they could. "Get this stuff off him." Roll helped as much as she could, but she still didn't have as much strength as she ought to for a battle robot. An EMT came in holding two small robots with shovels attached to their face. He set them down on each side of the pile and they began digging up rocks at the foundation, making it easier for those who were pulling off the top. Roll pulled off a piece of tile and found the right breast pocket of his lab coat.
"I see him!"
"Put your backs into it." The paramedics and firefighters started pulling faster, knowing the finish line was there. "Get that stretcher ready."
They pulled off the last of the ruins and brushed off the dust. "Dr. Light, can you hear me?" Roll said.
A paramedic came in with an electronic med-box. "Clear out." He ran a pull-out scanner over Dr. Light while looking at the readings on the box. "Slight internal bleeding. Broken femur and tibia. Ribs... Heart looks good." He looked up to the other medics. "He's stable but hurting. We can move him."
"Let's get him out of here."
The medics pulled lifted him up and put him on the hoverbed next to the ground as gingerly and quickly as possible.
"Uhhh..." Dr. Light moaned.
"Doctor, can you hear me?" Roll said, gleeful that he had the ability to still speak.
"Roll... I'm okay. Sort of," he groaned raspily as they pushed him out of the house.
"It's okay, Dr. Light. I'm right here. I'm going with you."
"No, don't. Roll... you need to stay here and search."
"That object was here. You must find it. If it was more valuable than my technical secrets or his revenge... who knows what danger we may be in."
Roll followed him until they reached the ambulance. They lifted him into the vehicle while Roll waited at the entrance, bound by her programming to follow his orders.
"But... all right, doctor. I'll find it."
"Find it. And find your brother. Don't worry about me."
"I will."
The EMT's closed the doors, the sirens started their wailing and the ambulance sped out. If Roll were human she would have been crying.
Mega Man and Link crawled over the grassy knoll and saw the castle in the mist.
"There it is. Hyrule Castle. The center of Hyrule."
Mega Man had never seen a real castle before - one with medieval architecture, made of mortar and stone. It seemed authentic, as if real and a picture at the same time. A reinforced off-white wall surrounded the castle itself, with guards posted at central locations. He could see a beautiful courtyard from this distance, filled with trees and other greenery. In the center was a path leading from the entrance down to wooden gate and melding seamlessly across the river to form a bridge. It seemed very inviting and friendly, not like the castles he'd read about, with cold stone walls with guards, cannons, and drawbridges, designed to keep any and all intruders as far away as possible.
"It looks beautiful," Mega Man said.
"It is." Link had found a new pride in the royal castle, since he had been to the Dark World and found its equivalent to be a soulless golden pyramid where the Triforce was housed. "We'll rest here a bit." Link took a seat under the shade of a thick oak tree and took a deep breath. Resting was definitely a perk on a quest and he intended to use it whenever possible. There wasn't any need to be in the castle right now.
"So, we've got the finest mages and seers in the castle. They'll probably be able to get you home," he said as he plucked up some grass and threw it around idly.
"I hope so, but I have my doubts. How I got here seems to be beyond human comprehension. It may have been a fluke in mathematics that can never be repeated." Mega Man doubted that the underdeveloped people here would ever be able to get him home. He was brought here by science. What hope did a people who still believed in magic have of being able to recreate the same instance when even humans from his world wouldn't understand it. If they knew he was here. By now, Light's mansion was likely destroyed and everyone was dead. Without him around to save them, Wily would likely have taken over the world by now. That was only if time was still going in his world the same as it was in this. For all he knew, time was going backwards since he left.
"Well," Link responded. "What will you do if you can't get back?"
"Unknown. It appears your justice system could need some revising."
Link laughed. "Yeah, you'd be good at that. A nigh invulnerable captain of the guards. Horace would be happy to have you replace him." Link picked up some more grass blades and started chewing them. "So what's it like there?"
"There are many tall buildings, commercial centers. Other robots keep the streets clean, buildings repaired, transportation running smoothly. It is essentially a utopia. Humans are happy. I would think, though, that you would find it too busy, fast, and crowded for your liking."
"Perhaps," Link said as he tried to picture it. He imagined tall castles with spires next to each other. "I wonder how many other worlds there are out there. Like, what's beyond Hyrule. The mountains border us to the north, plateaus to the south and east and dense forest in the west. We're pretty secluded in here."
Mega Man nodded. "World travel is common where I come from. People can jump from one side of the world to another in an instant."
"Wow, I've lived in Hyrule all my life. I can't imagine what else could... be..." Link became distracted by something down the hill on the other side. Mega Man looked down and saw the buzzblob waddling up the hill with wide coal-black eyes.
"Aw, come on. Go away already!" Link said as he stood up angrily. "Shoo! I thought we lost you at the river."
The buzzblob just kept on coming up, as if he didn't understand them. It had been following them since the ravine, despite numerous attempts to try and lose it.
"Well, he did help us with the Card Club."
"Oh, he's just attracted to you. Cause you got that lightning gun."
"Don't hurt him. He's just lost."
Link rolled his eyes at Mega Man's compassion for a monster. Even if it was sort of cute. "Okay, you. Go... that way. Over there. Go. Now. Shoo."
"Come here, little guy. Come here," Mega Man said as he slowly advanced down the hill to it.
"You're not helping."
The buzzblob cheerfully wobbled up to Mega Man. He held out his hand like he would for a dog to sniff it. The buzzblob cautiously looked at the hand and nuzzled it with the top of his head. Mega Man was surprised when he didn't feel a sharp painful jolt. "Hey, it's all right. It looks like the shock is just a natural defense mechanism."
"Great," Link said from the top of the hill. "You wanna take him home with you?"
"Well, it would be a shame to lose such a good helper." He picked up the buzzblob like a baby and carried him over to Link.
"Oh, you are not carrying it like that."
"Isn't he cute?" Mega Man held the green blobby thing up to Link like a child.
Link rolled his eyes. "Fine. But how are we gonna get him inside the castle. The guards will snipe him with an arrow once they see him. And they have good eyesight."
"Hmm," Mega Man pondered as he put it down. Mega Man couldn't let this monster be taken out when it had done so much good for them. "I have an idea. Do you have any extra clothes?"
The tower guard swept over the breadth of the castle with his telescope, watching the backs of other guards posted around the outside walls, milling about. It was a slow day, but then every day was a slow day. Bright blue painted the skies, songs of idle birds in the forest, same as any other day. The most fun was when a crow would suicidally decide to breach the castle walls. Then the lucky one would get to shoot it down with his crossbow and they would all talk about it for weeks, building it up until the crow had posed the most dangerous threat to Hylian walls since Agahnim.
The guard took the telescope from his eye and perused the grounds with his naked eyes. Just as little happened up close as far away. Oak trees and hills obscured the grounds in front of the castle beyond the river. He sighed and looked up at the sky, watching a cloud pass by. Peaceful, natural, and the same thing he'd seen for the past eight years. As he cracked his stiff neck he suddenly saw a speck approaching the castle, just emerged from the trees. He fumbled with his scope for a bit, off-put from the excitement and looked down below.
It appeared to be Link coming towards the castle, recognized by his green tunic, along with a... young-looking palace soldier dressed in blue full-body armor? With a helmet? And between them was... a very small person wearing Link's shirt and hat? They were holding hands with him, but it looked like his arms weren't big enough to reach the ends of the floppy sleeves.
"Ahoy! Who goes there?" the guard called out once they trio had reached shouting distance.
"It's me, Link!"
"And what company do you keep?"
"He means who are you with," Link said to Mega Man, rolling his eyes at the guard's penchant for taking his job too seriously. He shouted back up as he stopped at the wooden gate. "This is Mega Man, he is from another island very far away and we need help to get him back home."
"And who's that betwixt you?"
"This? Ah... this is my... friend! Buzzy!"
"Yes, Buzzy."
The guard tried hard to look at Buzzy's face, but the hat was covering him up completely. How was he able to see? "Are you sure? He seems awfully small."
"Uhhhh..." Link stalled again. "He's been sick."
"Oh... All right then," the guard said. He was still a little suspicious, but Link could be trusted. "Raise the gate," he called down to the guards in the courtyard. They began turning the crank, making a clickety-clack sound as the wooden door was raised. The three started walking under the archway.
"'Buzzy'?" Mega Man asked as they walked in.
"I didn't see you coming up with anything," Link said in jest.

I know we have never really posted about anything like this, but I got tired of seeing the Save The Ring news post so thought I would at least put something a little more LFS related up.
And what better way than to inform you that the Drift Server of the Year has returned, finally a server that's not running Autocross! I've encountered many old faces in just the past few days on there and it feels like I have a home again, a home where you are not driving around a car park in 2nd gear...

Evaluating Online Curriculum Resources
- Thursday, November 01, 2001
The Five Ws (and one H) of Cyberspace is part of the Canadian Media Awareness Centers site. This one-page handout provides a list of appropriate questions to ask about any Web site, and also describes how to decode a URL (Web site address).
Evaluation of Web Sites. This component of a larger University of Chicago professional development Web site for teachers contains a tutorial with many details about how to evaluate Internet information for elementary and secondary education, including a printable evaluation checklist (http://cuip.uchicago.edu/wit/2000/curriculum/homeroommodules/assessEdSites/evalchecklist.htm).
Home-schooling families choose homeschooling in large part because they feel very strongly about their responsibility before God to direct their childrens education. Carefully evaluating instructional materials both traditional and online is an essential component of that responsibility.

Research Activities
Dr. Martin's research, teaching, and public health service focus on the health of women and children, with particular attention paid to the role that violence plays in their lives. Much of her research has examined violence during pregnancy and the postpartum period, with investigations concerning the prevalence of such violence, risky health behaviors (such as substance use) associated with this violence, and screening for violence within health care settings. In addition, she has conducted studies focusing on topics such as adolescent dating violence, sexual assault, and violence in military families. She has also played key roles in examining the impact of various types of services for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, including services within North Carolina and worldwide. She works collaboratively with many groups on her research, including the Governor's Crime Commission, the North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and the World Health Organization. She has more than 100 publications examining these issues, with many of these papers including her student colleagues.

I love this Dabney! My daughter and I want to give all handmade gifts this year. I can't wait to see all ideas.
So excited for this! I could use some good handmade gift ideas.
I'm usually months & months behind on handmade gift ideas but yesterday I saw some kitchen towels made of drop cloth fabric and stencilled. Bingo! I said, and knew I had my Christmas project and plenty of time to make a couple dozen.
Great idea, Dabney! Looking forward to seeing everyone's contributions (and adding one of my own)! :)
The last couple of years I have handmade almost all of our Christmas presents - the only trouble is that each year needs new inspiration so that I don't repeat myself.
When I saw the title, I actually hoped this would something akin to a "Secret Santa" (i.e. that I would submit my name and address, and AT will give me the name & address of an AT poster who I will send a handmade Xmas gift to).
But the exchange of ideas is nice, too. I will try to come up with something.
Ha! I CanadianMango- I was *hoping* that's what it was! I'd totally do a handmade gift exchange!
But yes, ideas will also be nice.
Last year I silkscreened our family crest onto black t-shirts (for the guys) and canvas totes (for the girls) with gold metallic paint. It doesn't hurt that it looks like an awesome two headed griffin. My silkscreening skills suck, so it kinda worked that it looked like a weathered stamp. For the other side, I created a family cookbook with scans from my then-recently-deceased Grandmother's handwritten recipes through Shutterfly. I think this year, I'll swap it up - cookbooks from my now-92-year-old Grandma's recipes and family crest swag for the other sides. Nothing says "clan" like a crest and food....
@maynelander We do something similar and I like to hand knit toys for the kids! They are always a hit!
Fabulous! I certainly need new inspiration and ideas :) I'm planning to do handmade gifts this year since recently (ever since I discovered AT) I've been into lamp and small furniture making as hobby.
My best friend makes kids hair clips, bands etc she's even lokking into doin ties for boys! Both myself and my daughter have heaps :-) if u'd like to know more send me a friend request at facebook. My name is Jackie Ryan and my pic is the one with blue hair and sunnies lol
That's what I thought too. I would totally sign up for that. It would be so much fun seeing what you get.
I am hoping to make aprons for my mom, sisters, aunts & girl cousins from my grandmother's table linens. They are great vintage fabrics in her unique style, and will be a great reminder of Christmases past. But I'll be shocked if any are completed in time to submit by 10/31!
HollyP - that is a great idea!
@CanadianMango - I hoped so, too :)
Could I suggest making a similar idea exchange for gifts kids can make? Last year, my son (then five) selected poems for each member of our family. We typed up the poems, which he then illustrated. I'd love to get more ideas for similarly simple gifts that would be easy for kids to mass-produce!
I usually make at least 2 different gifts (usually for people in the same household or otherwise closely related). Can we submit more that 1 idea?
Dang, I make homemade candy every year...oh well.
Love that idea!!! I would so be into that!
This is a great idea for those with skills - I really dislike getting poorly executed things unless from the little kids (which are sweet, sweet).
BUT sign me up for edibles any time. BTW- I find the Kitchn links annoying - too many clicks to get there and back.
Oh goodie! When do we get to read everyone's ideas? Has anyone sent in any, or is everyone like me, hoping to mooch but no having any very precise ideas to contribute? (other than cookies)
@ Maynelander, OMG, you are going to get me hooked on crochet again, ha-ha. Those are the cutest patterns. Thanks for sharing the link.
"Gift exchange" means something different to me too, though this way is far easier.
I'm doing beaded jewelry for my mom's friends and a big cookie/booze basket that will probably have some handmade ornament on it for my local friends, but I doubt I'll have any tips or pictures by 10/31.
I'm scaling back, though, on the number of homemade gifts I do this year. Having made a zillion candles, ornaments, etched glasses, bath salts, t-shirts, banners, pictures, necklaces, etc in my lifetime, I find it takes a certain person to appreciate them, even if I spend the time and money to make something nice. My aunt who had a kiln and was an award winning ceramicist eventually gave up making most gifts because, as she put it, so many would rather just have an iTunes gift card. So make sure you aren't spending an inordinate amount of time and energy on something that might wind up in a closet for six years. I know for a fact my mother's friends want jewelry, so I think I'm okay this year. But there are a lot of extended relatives who I am just going to get gift cards for from now on, as much as I despise gift cards.
Last Christmas my daughter and I bought loose teas in several flavors and mixed custom blends for each person on our list. We packed the tea in mason jars with a nice label and a tea infuser. It was a hit. And easy to do. You could add a pair of mugs in a basket if you want to get fancy.
I'm planning to knit a few of these, in bulky yarn, so quick and easy:
And I've also made this:
Ooh, this is great timing! I work at Community Forklift (a thrift store/salvage yard for building materials in the DC area) and for the day after Thanksgiving, we're planning a "Green Friday" celebration as an alternative to Black Friday. We'd like to do some workshops about making your own gifts from reclaimed materials - so that folks can come hang out and craft together, instead of spending the day buying plastic junk from chain stores. I'm looking forward to seeing all the ideas that AT readers share!
Kinda, I made mini cheesecakes for people I work with.
Actually gift I tend to stick with gift cards. Lame I know but maybe I'll make a fancy homemade card for everyone this year.
I would TOTALLY love an actual exchange of gifts with other AT readers!!!! I cherish anything homemade or handcrafted. That would be so fun! (And I thought that was what this was too...)
Family crest, now THAT's an idea! I'll have to experiment a bit with ours, I think...
I think I'm going to make and gift the spoon butter posted here recently: http://www.thekitchn.com/homemade-spoon-butter-165182
I know it says "thekitchn" but it's not edible!
I am not very crafty. However, I made little stocking gifts and "I need a little something at the last minute!" gifts: Chai tea mix (yummy! Get the recipe on AllRecipes. I used pint canning jars) and a lemon scrub (olive oil, lemon, and salt. You can subsitute lime for the lemon. I got the jars at World Market). I'm making the same things again (everyone loved them and wants them again) and additionally I'm making my own vanilla extract for my baking friends: cheap vodka or rum soaked with vanilla beans for 8 weeks. I got lovely jars from World Market and also got the vanilla beans (a great price at World Market). I plan on making one friend a version of Hot Damn: crushed red hots soaked in cheap vodka (Chef John has this recipe). I'm totally having fun. And, for a non-crafty girl, this stuff is easy.
Also (I forgot this one): years ago, when my brother was in the Army, he drew stamps on the envelops (they got free mail). I kept all those. I have one already framed for me. I plan on having the stamp and postmark of the rifle framed for him this Christmas. Just some black matting, the stamp on top, in a black frame. I think some of the best stuff are things like that. I have a recipe card, complete with all the splatters, of my Grandma's - her buttermilk pancakes, my favorite - framed in my kitchen. (By framing, I don't mean "professional"). I also have a map my Dad drew framed. I think precious things like this make wonderful presents. Maybe not crafty and hand made in the sense of the word, but thoughtful indeed.
Haa! ME too! I'm in, JNR, anyone else? LOL!
I bet the homemade gifts from At writers and commenters are spectacular!
I'm happy to see this post, it will give me extra motivation to get going early. I try to reuse materials and I want to finally learn how to use my new sewing machine. Should be interesting.
I am crocheting items this year. So far, I have stocking caps of fishermen yarn (water resistant) for my niece and nephew, as well as the maintenance men. {We have a great maintenance team at the apartment in which we live, and I feel they deserve some notice, so they will get a box of caps to choose from, 2 for each.) I am trying out a pattern for a hood and cape for my sis; already have a very soft, fluffy scarf for my wonderful mother-in-law, so just have to think of something for my father-in-law. Maybe a pair of slipper socks for him, if I can get his size. That is all I have worked out, so far.
Yes - same! That's what I thought it would be.
I make homemade soaps, which are a huge hit and everyone always looks forward to them. I make everything from scratch and kind of overdo it with the variety, but you can stick to one kind or a couple. Many soapmaking suppliers have plain soap bases that you can add things to, if you're not into making soap from beginning to end.
In the past I've made gourmet burger condiments (homemade ketchup, homemade mustard, pickled onions, zucchini pickles), unusual jams (wine jelly, pear vanilla bean jam, milk jam, strawberry habanero, raspberry chocolate), and panforte.
I love making handmade gifts, and it's always a struggle to limit myself to just a few things!
I have an embroidery machine, and I make homemade jams and candies. I'm thinking I'll embroider little custom tags to put on jars of homemade jam or candies. I did use my machine for a birthday gag gift of a pillow that said "TWERK" in a decorative font, surrounded by roses...but Christmas is for more serious gifts.
I was looking through a couple crafty books for inspiration over the weekend. I hope to make a couple things for the holidays, but my follow through on this type of work is embarrassingly low. A commitment to a group would certainly increase the odds that I at least start something. =0
In addition to the books, I have a Pinterest board devoted to craft ideas.
I have a bunch of wine corks that I need to use up, so there are lots of ideas on there for using those up.
I just made a sticker book for my 3 year old daughter - the old school kind that you can actually put stickers on the page and remove them. Can't find them anywhere and after googling for some ideas, I decided to use contact paper (instead of the laminating sheets that every tutorial used). Had a mini binder, scrapbook paper and contact paper on hand - cut the paper to size, contact-papered two sheets together, punch holes and that was it. Hoping this will mean stickers will stop appearing on my hardwood floors!
Such great ideas!!!!
I've been making most gifts for my family for at least 25 years. I try to make lasting, quality things that will stand up to heavy use yet still be stylish enough to outlast style trends that come and go. But I, too, like some above have mentioned, am running out of ideas. I was on a hat-making blitz a couple years ago and may repeat it...you can never have too many earflap hats here in the NE, especially for a family that loves the outdoors and loves to ski. I invented the pattern so if you're clever you might be able to duplicate it. I use exclusively Lamb's Pride wool, Bulky (they have luscious colors), and size 10.5 round needle. I dislike joinery. I can't tell you the needle length but I think it's the shortest one they make. I always start with 66 stitches. Decreasing starts at around row 12/13, I think. I work out the designs on graph paper with colored pencils or crayons. The earflaps are made by picking up 16 stitches on straight needles, then decreasing after the first two rows. I finish off the knitting with a simple crochet stitch around the edge. I always include a fleece liner, stitched in by hand, for warmth and to reduce itchiness. Here's a link to my blog which shows a gallery of these hats. http://hats-louise.blogspot.com/
CRANBERRY ONION MARMALADE is another thing I'm making this year for everyone. It's a super easy, amazingly delicious spread. There are recipes on line but after experimenting a bunch I finally settled on using three red ingredients to make it really pretty: red wine vinegar (actually, a homemade raspberry red wine vinegar, intensely concentrated by boiling it down a bunch), red onions and the red cranberries. I also suggest a heavier mustard flavor so add an equal amount of Dijon to match the mustard seed portion. This is a gorgeous and tasty spread that goes great with brie and turkey on sandwiches. It makes a great starter, too, when put on toasted baguette slices, topped with brie or another melty cheese. I'm making enough to fill 12 pint sized jars and will decorate the lids with red striped linen and yarn ties.
Have been making the majority of gifts for the past 3 years. A lot of finger-less mittens and hats, cookies, this year a spa kit with homemade scrub (coconut, oil, sugar and lime!) knitted scrubbies and other goodies.
I do bath salts & scrubs and brandied figs [from my tree]. i'm planning to do terraria this year, and have been buying booze in interesting bottles to use.
I used to do cookies, but it was dangerous [one for you, one for me].
A secret santa would have been cool!
I would love to be on your brandied figs list!

It has been 10 years since the civil war in Sierra Leone ended. For Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, however, the war and its effects are engraved not just in the memories of the band members, but in the group's very name.
As listeners to their 2006 debut, "Living Like a Refugee," or viewers of the 2005 documentary devoted to their story know, the group formed in refugee camps in Guinea in the late 1990s.

By Jay Polk - bio | emailJanuary 5, 2009
SHELLMAN, GA (WALB) - Shellman Mayor Paul Langford was surfing the Internet one day when he saw something interesting.
"(I) saw an article where Arnold Schwarzenegger was honoring a lady for her birthday."
After a little investigation he discovered that the woman - Gertrude Baines - was set to become the oldest person alive. What was interesting was that Baines was born in Shellman. In 1894. Langford knew what he had to do.
"Back this Summer, the council and I we sent her a key to the city and we did a proclamation naming it Gertrude Baines Day," said Langford.
Becoming the oldest living person has a certain level of fame attached to it. The local paper even did a nice story on Gertrude.
"I found an article that was in the Los Angeles paper. I double checked it and it was true. 114 years old," said Dave Brown, the Publisher of the Citizen News.
And she's become quite the topic of conversation in this town of 1200 in Randolph County. But as it turns out, Gertrude is not alone when it comes to living a long life.
In the 16th century, Ponce DeLeon came to Florida searching for the fabled Fountain of Youth, but if he wanted to live to a ripe old age all he had to do was take a little trip to the north to this small town in Southwest Georgia.
That's because, in Shellman, there are a number of people who have also lived into their 90s and beyond.
"We've got one resident here right now that's 102, still living. We've got another lady, just below town. Her son lives here in town, she's 98. She lives alone, drives, mows her own grass and she's got a big yard," said Langford.
So what allows the people here to live so long?
"I think it's the stress free atmosphere," said Brown.
So maybe you won't find the Fountain of Youth, but you can still live a stress free life here. And that's not so bad.

WALLA WALLA - Jami Klicker drained a trey, then hit a deuce to cap a 13-6 Wa-Hi run to open the second quarter Saturday in girls non-conference basketball action.
The Blue Devils led 11-9 after one, and following Klicker's pull up jumper, increased the lead to 24-15 with 1:24 left in the first half. Wa-Hi never looked back as the Blue Devils went on to down Kennewick 50-29.
"We improved from the first quarter to fourth quarter last night (a win over Pasco)," Wa-Hi coach Jill Meliah said. "I asked them to take off tonight from where they left off last night. We were able to do that."
Klicker hit a long 2-point shot at the buzzer to end the first period and give the Blue Devils the lead for good at 11-9 after one.
The Blue Devils went inside to their three posts, 6-foot-2 Gabby Anderson, 6-2 Torri Crawford and 5-11 Sydney Christensen, for six points in the second quarter and went to intermission in control at 26-15.
"We're about working hard and playing defense and that will fuel our offense," Meliah said. "Tonight that was the case, and having three solid posts, we have to take advantage of that. Our girls did a good job of looking for our posts first."
The Blue Devils went 2:15 into the third period before Anderson scored on a 3-point play for a 29-17 Blue Devil lead.
"We challenged them at half time to put this game away," Meliah said. "Then we came out really flat in the first two minutes. I called a time out and reminded them (of the challenge). After that, they really came on strong and were able to put the game away."
Anderson finished the quarter with six points and grabbed four offensive and four defensive rebounds in the quarter and a team-high 11 boards for the Blue Devils. Libbie Jimenez drained a trey to end the quarter's scoring and send Wa-Hi to the fourth with a 39-21 lead.
Jimenez finished a fast break with a spinning lay in as Wa-Hi ran its lead to 50-25 with 3:10 left and finished with the 50-29 win.
Kennewick's Angelique Whistocken was the Lions' offense as she finished with a double-double with game-high 17 points and 12 rebounds.
The Blue Devils produced an inside-out balanced scoring attack in improving to 2-0 in the non-conference season. Anderson led the way with 13 points, and fellow posts Christensen and Crawford chipped in with five and six, respectively. Guard Klicker and wing Allie Greene each added nine, and Jimenez finished with eight.
"Our posts are really coming along," Meliah said. "They're still learning, so it's nice to see them have the success they had tonight. (And) I'm really happy to see the balanced scoring. We'll be able to win some games if we continue to see balance in our scoring."
The Blue Devils travel to Hanford to take on the Falcons in a non-conference battle Friday.
KENNEWICK (29) - Nielson 0-0 0-0 0, Valerio 0-5 0-0 0, K. Sanders 1-3 2-2 4, Hicks 0-1 0-0 0, M. Sanders 0-1 0-0 0, Whitstocken 7-15 3-4 17, Kump 1-7 1-2 3. Harrod 1-3 1-7 3, Taimani 1-2 0-0 2. Totals 11-37 7-15 29.

It's an online radio, but better than anything I've ever used before. You enter in a song or artist you like, and it creates a playlist based on that. As each song plays, you can click whether or not you like it, and it continues to personalize the playlist. I end up loving about 90% of the songs they choose for me. What a great way to explore new artists, and it's totally free! :)
For what I've been listening to lately, enter artist "Duffy". You'll end up with a sweet playlist of bluesy, mellow, melodic tunes :)
Have a great playlist to share? Put it in the comments!
