Easiest banana bread I've ever made! I did make a few modifications - I only had chocolate pudding mix so I used that and put in chocolate chips in place of the pecans. I also used 1/4c apple sauce and 1/4c oil instead of the 1/2c oil. Delicious. I will make this again - too easy not to!

Day 4, December 2. We spent another quiet day relaxing in Austin. The hand is almost fine, and if I leave it alone, I feel nothing. If I poke and prod the numb area to see if it still hurts, it will when I stop messing with it. Also, I've learned to offer my left hand when shaking hands with people, as a firm handshake is surprisingly painful. I'm wondering how long this nerve sensitivity will last.
Thanks for coming to visit!

The World Series is almost upon us.
It's ironic that two of the oldest and most iconic teams have been taken to the Fall Classic by two men who are there for the first time in their careers and both of whom are relatively light in Major League managerial experience.
St. Louis Cardinals skipper Mike Matheny is in his second year with St. Louis after succeeding Tony LaRussa after the Cardinals won the 2011 World Series. This was Matheny's first managerial job, period.
John Farrell managed the Toronto Blue Jays for two years before getting "traded" to the Boston Red Sox this past off-season and this is only his third year managing in the Bigs.
Only four rookie managers have ever won a World Series, while six more won in their first full-season at the helm of a team.
The last rookie to turn the trick was former Blue Jays catcher Bob Brenly in 2001 when the Arizona Diamondbacks won their first and only World Series in that classic match-up with the New York Yankees.
The other are "the Major," Ralph Houk, who led the 1961 Yankees to a Series win over the Cincinatti Reds, Eddie Dyer, who was at the helm of the 1946 Cardinals when they beat the Red Sox in seven games and Bucky Harris, who lead the 1924 Washington Senators to their one and only World Series title.
Harris was only 27-years-old when he took over as player manager that season and won two more pennants over his 29 years as an MLB skipper and led the Yankees to a title in 1947. Of those four, Harris was the only one to make it into the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.
The group of six who won in their first full season as a skipper includes four Hall of Famers and one that in my mind should be.
In 1920, Tris Speaker led the Cleveland Indians to their first World Series crown as a player-manager. Rogers Hornsby did the same for St. Louis in 1926, also as a player-manager. Legendary slugger Bill Terry, the last National Leaguer to hit .400, won as a player-manager with the New York Giants. Frankie Frisch also won as a player-manager with St. Louis in 1934.
These four men refute the old argument that great players have a tough time becoming coaches or managers.
The other two on that list are Dallas Green of the 1980 Phillies, who was really more regarded over the years as a general manager. The final name is that of Tom Kelly, who won two World Series with the Twins in 1987 and 1991. Why he isn't in the Hall of Fame is beyond me.
This is the fourth meeting between the Cardinals and Red Sox in the World Series. In 1946 and again in 1967 (the Red Sox Impossible Dream Season,) St. Louis won in 7. But all of that was erased from memory by Red Sox fans when the BoSox ended their 86 year-long World Series drought by sweeping the Cardinals in 2004.
This is the Cardinals' fourth World Series appearance in 10 seasons (they own a 2-1 record in the previous three) and the Red Sox's third in the same decade (they won their previous two.) So essentially, this is for the bragging rights for best team since the start of the new millennium.
Bob Elliot of the Toronto Sun has word that the Blue Jays are on the lookout for a catching upgrade are aiming for either Chris Iannetta or Hank Conger of the Los Angeles Angels in a trade. Clearly, since they're not going to get into a bidding war for the likes of free agent-to-be Brian McCann, it shouldn't be any surprise that the Blue Jays would go back to the Mike Scioscia school of Catcher-nomics.
Over the past six or seven years, the Blue Jays have employed, or at least briefly owned, four other Angels catchers who learned at the knee of Scoscia.
Benji and Jose Molina were with the Angels when they beat the Giants in the 2002 World Series. Mike Napoli was acquired in the Vernon Wells trade and then was swapped four days later to the Texas Rangers for reliever Frank Francisco and cash and Jeff Mathis, who the Jays traded to Miami as part of that massive trade with the Marlins.
Iannetta and Conger wouldn't hit for any more power than J.P Arencibia, but both are considered superior defensively.

Draft Stoppers: Affordable & DIY Resources
Winter is coming. And so are the drafty winds that can make the inside of your home feel like you're living in a tent. I've lived in my share of old and drafty abodes and in a moment of desperation even resorted to shoving old t-shirts in the inch-wide cracks of my brownstone's double-hung windows. (Not pretty but effective.) If you're interested in a more grown-up method here are some great options for you.
You can make your own or buy something simple, depending on your level of expertise and interest. The least glamorous yet highly effective treatment for window and door drafts can be resolved by taking a trip to your local hardware store. Removable foam inserts (like this one found at Home Depot) can be cut to size and neatly stuffed into the cracks of windows. Some are even designed to work while opening the windows when fresh air is needed. Under the door there are some great options that allow you to still open and close the door without having to readjust the draft stopper.
There are also more colorful options for doors and windows. These "snakes" are best for seldom used openings like the basement or attic door or windows that plan on remaining closed during the winter. Many can be found on Etsy for less than $20.00 (search for "door draft stoppers") or, if you have some leftover material you can easily make your own (here's a good tutorial).
Don't forget the other source of draft: the fireplace. Of course you shouldn't plug up the fireplace if building fires is a weekend ritual. But if you never use your fireplace, and if it doesn't have a good draft sealer, consider something like this to stop the cold air from rushing in.

If you live in San Francisco you can get up to $11,000 in incentives for home energy upgrades - sealing up cracks and leaks to make your home less drafty and more energy efficient. www.sfenvironment.org/sfhip
Don't forget window film, plastic over windows and heavy curtains drawn in the evenings.
The local electricity company may do an energy audit for free. I like to roll a beach towel into a cylinder, tie it evenly with three surplus shoe laces, and lay it at the bottom of a door--free, washable, and reversible.
PS You may use one of those free clear plastic bags for wet umbrellas that are distributed at the entrances of some stores to cover a door/window "snake."
Seal n Peel - great clear caulking that easily peels off in the spring. Seal up those drafty windows easily and then pull off the caulk in the spring. I've used this an not had any issues with it discoloring or damaging wood trim or paint.
Oooh, macbride, that sounds like exactly what I've been searching for...I didn't think it existed!
This is a web page we have for insulating antique windows from drafts, heat, cold, UV rays, etc. - they also work with regular, everyday windows, even dual-pane windows that still have drafts: http://www.castlewindowcovers.com/for-antique-windows.html. If you have questions, you can call us or email through the site. Thanks!

Application for admission to the School of Nursing is a separate process in addition to being admitted to the University.
Admission is based upon the applicant's prenursing GPA and the applicant's comoposite score on the Evolve Reach Admission Assessment (A2) Examination. The Evolve Reach Admission Assessment Exam incldues math, grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary, anatomy & physiology, and chemistry and must be completed at the time of application.
The applicant pool is ranked according to the applicant's prenursing GPA and also according to their composite score on the A2 exam and then the two ranks are averaged. The applicant pool is then finally ranked using the average ranking of the prenursing GPA and score on the A2 exam. The students with the highest rankings will be admitted.
In addition to the above criteria, an interview may be required in the application process.
In Fall 2012, the School of Nursing is admitting the last cohort into the current curriculum plan, and then the Basic Nurisng Program will be transitioning to a redesigned curriculum. Thus there will be different prerequisite courses required prior to application and admission to the nursing major depending upon the semester in which the student is admitted into the Basic Nursing Program. The links below provide information about the prerequisite courses required for application and admission and the schedule for completion of the nursing major courses.

Auburn alumni Jason Dufner returned to Auburn Sunday night after winning the PGA Championship. Fans and reporters greeted Dufner at the airport upon his arrival.
"It's neat to think about what happened," Dufner told reporters standing on the tarmac. "I'm starting to get it as it sinks in. My name is on this trophy with a lot of unbelievable players and no body can ever take that away."
Just a few hours after Jason
Dufner won the PGA championship, his plane touched down in Auburn.
Jason Dufner wanted to
share his big moment with Auburn fans in the town he loves most. He signed
autographs took pictures with fans, holding on to the Wanamaker Trophy the
whole time.
"The trophy will be in the house somewhere,"
said Jason Dufner. "That is for my wife to decide. We will find a good spot for
it and keep it polished."
Dufner's college coach
says he has worked extremely hard to be one of the world's best golfers. He was
not a big time recruit.
"He was an
unknown to me," said former Auburn Coach Mike Griffin. "Jason was not even an
invited walk on. He was a pure walk on."
The Internet sensation
known as "Dufnering" is no longer what Jason Dufner is known for the
Dufner says he knew that
if he won the trophy, Auburn fans would come out with their toilet paper, and
maybe even start Dufnering.
"Yeah, that is what I
heard," said Dufner. "People got some things on Twitter yesterday. They were
talking about if I won, they would do it. I saw pictures. That was pretty cool."
And strands of the toilet
paper still flow in the wind at Toomer's Corner. Jason Dufner is a major
champion, and he has a large group of fans celebrating with him.
"I was
standing off to the edge of the crowd. I don't know how, but he picked me out
of the crowd. He comes over with that trophy and presents it to me and lets me
hold it with him. That was a special moment. Real special, yeah," Griffin said.
Dufner says he will take a week off of golf.
Then he will work towards the FedEx cup playoffs and the President's Cup.
With a two-stroke victory over Jim Furyk, Dufner won his first major title. Dufner bogeyed the final two holes Sunday for a 2-under 68 that was good enough to hold off the 2003 U.S. Open champion. The winning score was 10-under 270. Henrik Stenson finished three shots back. Dufner made up for the heartache of the 2011 PGA, when he went to the 15th tee with a four-stroke lead in Atlanta. He dunked that shot in the water, squandered the advantage and lost to Keegan Bradley in a playoff. There was no such collapse on another warm, sunny day at Oak Hill. From tee to green, Dufner was nearly perfect. If not for a bit of a shaky putter, the margin would've been even more.

Questions surround a photograph of a Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy using a smartphone while driving. Nashville's News 2 Facebook fans Michael Childress and Josh Suddath submitted the photo they say was taken July 19th on Briley Parkway.In the picture, a deputy is seen holding and looking at a smartphone. While it isn't clear what the deputy was doing, Assistant Deputy Sheriff Ted Denny told Nashville's News 2 the department has since looked into it."He was returning a phone call while on official business. He was not texting," said Denny. "In this situation the officer wasn't texting, but had he been, there wouldn't have been a law violated."The state's no texting and driving law exempts state and local law enforcement while they are performing the duties of their job. Included in the exemption are firefighters, emergency workers and campus police officers."It's a tough law to enforce, we understand. It's on the books for public safety," explained Denny. Law enforcement officers use laptop computers in the passenger seat, and radios to stay in contact with dispatchers. Denny said the department also utilizes cell phones in some situations. "If there's sensitive information about a call that we don't want broadcast, the dispatcher will put that information on a cell phone."Denny added officers are trained to use multiple forms of communication while in the patrol car cockpit.

Hey everyone,
Welcome to my new blog. I will be posting most of my content here on this site, instead of on social media networks. I hope you enjoy all my rants and ravings and perhaps you may even get a small glimpse into what makes me tick. I am sure you will read some things that you may or may not agree with. If you do not agree with them, feel free to keep your opinions to yourself. Especially, if you are one of those who read people's thoughts and vernacular simply to gather ammunition for a rebuttal against ideals of certain individuals.

From the BBC Wildlife Website:
The giggling sounds of a hyena contain important information about the animal's status, say scientists.
In the first study to decipher the hyena's so-called "laugh", they have shown that the pitch of the giggle reveals a hyena's age.
What is more, variations in the frequency of notes used when a hyena makes a noise convey information about the animal's social rank.

I am not sure about that particular box, but lot of them have mic/line
inputs, though only one or two mic/instrument inputs. Certainly it is nice
to match the pre to the mic and so line ins are nicer for that. The mic
pre on these boxes tends to be "sterile" as that is the most generic. It
means someone who is starting out can use the box with no pre to record a
drum kit. Then as they have the money, can get get a pre for their vocal
mic with some warmth, impedance matching etc. that will go line in. Not a
bad deal. In my case I just have line in and so use the pre from my mackie
mixer. I also have a tube pre made by ART that has more control.
I'm not a big fan of instrument inputs (low level like guitars) as I feel
the cabinet and amplifier are a part of the instrument and how it sounds.
But for the starting studio, it is good to have and always adds options
for anyone.

Hi my name is Sarah and I'm all about passion for life! I know the darkness but I've seen the light that can't be tainted by it! I'm 16 and live for Jesus as best I can. I like the basics about Jesus. I wanna know who He is down to His laugh, smile and smell. And my all time favorite thing about Him is the way He speaks softly and holds my hand. He is amazing! I recomend Him to basically the whole human race but that's just my own unprofessional opinion haha! I'm not so much into ritual as I am into Jesus in the raw. I love singing probably more than anything in this world! Jesus is King, but He's also my best friend :)

Do you know the question of the day? Is not about any big mysteries, but about Porsche and their plans for the future. As you know lately spy photographers caught a few Cayenne based mule and since then everyone is asking: what is Porsche working at? First we though it might be a Lamborghini SUV hidden under, or a Bentley SUV. But, with all the questions and all the answer given no one knows for sure what will be.
One thing is for sure: this mules are one of the fastest cars tested around the Nürburgring. And they make a great noise, we might call it music to your ears. In the beginnings there were only two of them, but know you can see almost every color.
About the mechanical parts: they are rear-wheel-drive only, they are built as light way cars with no power windows and central-looking, plastic windows in the rear doors and backwards.
And back to our question: what is it? Might be a Cayenne RS, or a project Porsche is developing for another brand? Or could it be a new front engine sports car from Porsche based on the new Panamera platform? A two door coupe aiming for the BMW 6-series, Maserati GranTurismo and Mercedes CL?
Only time will answer all this questions.

When it comes to Legionella bacteria, outbreaks occur when two or more people become ill in the same place at about the same time, such as patients in hospitals. Hospital buildings have complex water systems, and many people in hospitals already have illnesses that increase their risk for Legionella infection.
Other outbreaks have been linked to aerosol (mist) sources in the community, or with cruise ships and hotels, with the most likely sources being hot tubs, cooling towers (air-conditioning units from large buildings), and water used for drinking and showering.
Processing Legionella Samples Obtained During Outbreaks
The Procedures for the Recovery of Legionella from the Environment manual describes the procedures currently used by the CDC to process environmental samples obtained during investigations of legionellosis outbreaks. It includes information on the collection and concentration of water samples, preparation of samples for bacteriologic examination, formulas for media, and sources for reagents.

TNA iMPACT!
Pro-wrestling is all about acting. No, I'm not trying to get myself cold-clocked by Hulk Hogan. This is about physicality. I watched a live TNA event from a private box in The Arena at Gwinnet Center in Atlanta. From where I was sitting the wrestlers looked tiny, much smaller than they'd be if you were watching them on TV or playing them on a videogame, but when Sting came into the ring, I instantly understood why he's a star. They guy acts with his body the way Charlie Chaplin did. He sells every moment with his postures, his gestures. Even from the cheap seats you understand, from moment to moment, the emotional details of a match because Sting is telegraphing every minor victory, every setback with his body. That's the magic of wrestling, and it's a major detail that most videogames just haven't been able to pull off.
Sure, old-school wrestling games were able to recreate the People's Elbow or the Tombstone Piledriver -- signature moves of wildly popular superstars. But they've never managed to recreate the in-between moments -- the way a certain pro lumbers across the mat or reels when he takes a blow to the face. TNA iMPACT! aims to change that. Midway's Los Angeles development studio (formerly Paradox) has invested quite a bit of time and effort in making the movement of the wrestlers in their game more true-to-life. Each wrestler's character model is lovingly rendered, bumping up against but not falling headlong into the uncanny valley. Exhaustive motion capture sessions using the original wrestling talent like Samoa Joe, A.J. Styles and Jay Lethal help make the character animations breathe that extra bit of life into each of the fighters.
TNA iMPACT! has been devoted to realism since day one. A very early build of the game featured some of the detailed, 60-frames-per-second character animations -- but the fighting and movement felt sluggish. Such is the danger of trying to recreate flesh and blood with 100 percent accuracy. Real-life wrestling is a different animal from videogame wrestling. Human wrestlers move more deliberately. The pace of action in a match is significantly slower. The latest build of TNA iMPACT! addresses these issues. It feels much more responsive. The moves and movement are quickened without totally shattering the illusion.
Sal Davita walks me through a typical match at the Midway Gamer's Day in Las Vegas. We're playing the Xbox 360 version of the game in a dark corner of a swank bar in the Red Rocks Casino. Davita lounges in the padded booth, maybe a little buzzed. His game is in the final stages of polish -- it was supposed to drop this spring, but they've pushed the game back to the fall to continue refining animations and gameplay. Davita could easily kick my ass if he wanted to, but he goes easy on me teaching me the intricacies of the game's special moves, counters and pin mechanics. TNA iMPACT! is one of those games that really rewards practice. Knowing the timing of the moves and being able to read each character's movements are key to success. Even though I'm outclassed, I don't feel like I'm powerless. With the flick of the thumbstick I'm able to roll out from under an incoming body slam. I occasionally slip out of a grab or nail a decent dropkick.
After the match, Davita spools out the litany of features the game will sport: three classes of wrestlers, over 20 individual characters, 11 match types, weapons, online multiplayer. They're throwing everything at the wall with this game and much of it looks like it'll stick. My instant favorite match is the Ultimate X -- a bout unique to the TNA brand. Multiple wrestlers compete to shimmy across a wire, strung high above the ring. In the center dangles a large, red X. The first wrestler to grab the X and remove it from its perch wins the day. The proposition isn't as easy as it sounds. Other wrestlers can easily jump up and grab you as you're scaling the sides of the ring or inching across the rope -- and the X itself is no pushover. In the real world it takes a while to unravel the fiendish knot that holds it in place. In TNA iMPACT! players have to play a tricky mini-game to snag the X -- all the while fending off angry opponents. If there's one match in TNA iMPACT! that manages to recreate the dramatic push-and-pull of a real-world wrestling match, it's the Ultimate X. This one will make for some great multiplayer moments.
Before we part ways Davida and I talk about the future of the TNA wrestling league. The organization is growing by leaps and bounds -- the only true competitor to the WWE behemoth. Defections from Vince McMahon's massive corporation aren't unheard of and Midway Los Angeles, Davida tells me, is ready to respond to anything. If a huge wrestling celebrity were to sign with TNA after TNA iMPACT! goes gold, Davida and company are prepared to introduce the wrestler into the game as downloadable content. That's how seriously TNA iMPACT! is gunning to topple the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw games. I have a gut feeling they're not going to meet much resistance.
Preview based on an unfinished build of the game as seen at Midway's Gamers' Day and TNA! Bound for Glory.

HENRYVILLE, IN (WAVE) – A city struck by tornadoes is getting special attention from volunteers.
On March 2, several homes were torn apart by tornadoes in Henryville, but Friday volunteers came together to build new homes.
The homes are being constructed in celebration of Sun for Thorntons Humanitarian Day which will be held on Sunday.
The group gathered at Catholic Charities to build the frames of the homes that will be delivered to Henryville over the weekend.
Along with some new homes, new life was planted at Henryville Junior-Senior High School.
Students teamed up with Ecotech to plant replacement trees on the school grounds.

environmental factors – of both infectious and non infectious origin –
have been proposed as risk factors for MS. MS is more common in people
who live further away from the equator. Why this is the case is not
clear, but decreased sunlight exposure has been linked with a higher
risk of MS and there is growing evidence that a lack of vitamin D is
linked to increasing prevalence in a range of conditions including MS.
As we get most of our vitamin D through exposure to sunlight, low sun
exposure and subsequent vitamin D insufficiency has been proposed as one
explanation of this effect. This effect may also explain the recent
observation that there is an excess MS risk in people born in April and
May, and a reduced risk in those born in October and November.
microbes (particularly Epstein Barr Virus, EBV) have been proposed as
potential triggers for MS, but none have been proven. Age at exposure to
infection seems to play an important role, and it has been shown that
moving at an early age from one location in the world to another alters a
person's subsequent risk of MS.
Another environmental factor that seems to be strongly associated with MS is cigarette smoking.

So last night involved a lot of beer.
Good news: I texted congruently and grammatically correct, I had a lot but still remember everything, people were funny as shit, I didn't die, swimming was fun, I found out that I get de-pantsed really easy but am apparently not too concerned about it when I am intoxicated, and Wes and I have way too much energy at 7 in the morning after a night like that. Oh and I didn't die.
Bad news: Hangovers are a real thing, I feel as if I fell off a building, my heel is fucking painful from walking to breakfast drunk, I text people I don't always want to when inebriated, Its not a good idea to see how many people you can hold up on your back, its a worse idea to try a hand stand on a rope (especially when you cant do hand stands), the house i was at had oddly placed light switches so falling over shit was a thing. Lastly, I thought I was going to die even though I was laughing after.
I'm not a check point I'm a destination.
I won't hold a place that isn't mine, I'll make my own and if you wont let me I won't stay. Life is too short to sit around wasting away with people who just want you to be someone else. This is my show now.

Indiana will lose $63 million in tobacco settlement payments next year after an arbitration panel decision.
The group determined the state had not worked hard enough to collect funds from cigarette companies that aren't part of the deal. The ruling means that Indiana's payment will drop from $131 million to $68 million in 2014.
The state can appeal.
Currently, the money is earmarked for a diverse group of health care programs, including tobacco cessation, children's health insurance and community mental health centers. State legislators say that the state has a $2 billion surplus but if tobacco settlement payments continue to be reduced, lawmakers will be forced to take that into consideration when negotiating the next budget.

Jeffery Deaver
Adult Fiction DEAVER
Summary: Lincoln Rhyme is back, on the trail of a killer whose weapon of choice cripples New York City with fear. The weapon is invisible and omnipresent. Without it, modern society grinds to a halt. It is electricity. The killer harnesses and steers huge arc flashes with voltage so high and heat so searing that steel melts and his victims are set afire. When the first explosion occurs in broad daylight, reducing a city bus to a pile of molten, shrapnel-riddled metal, officials fear terrorism. Rhyme, a world-class forensic criminologist known for his successful apprehension of the most devious criminals, is immediately tapped for the investigation. Long a quadriplegic, he assembles NYPD detective Amelia Sachs and officer Ron Pulaski as his eyes, ears and legs on crime sites, and FBI agent Fred Dellray as his undercover man on the street. As the attacks continue across the city at a sickening pace, and terrifying demand letters begin appearing, the team works desperately against time and with maddeningly little forensic evidence to try to find the killer. Or is it killers . . . ? Meanwhile, Rhyme is consulting on another high-profile investigation in Mexico with a most coveted quarry in his crosshairs: the hired killer known as the Watchmaker, one of the few criminals to have eluded Rhyme's net. Juggling two massive investigations against a cruel ticking clock takes a toll on Rhyme's health. Soon Rhyme is fighting on yet another front-and his determination to work despite his physical limitations threatens to drive away his closest allies when he needs them most . . .

Social Engineering - Phishing, Vishing and Smishing!!!
Social Engineering
Social Engineering is the act of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. The term typically applies to trickery or deception for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or computer system access; in most cases the attacker never comes face-to-face with the victim.
Types of Social Engineering
Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication or email.
Example Scenario:
1. A criminal will send email messages to a list of email addresses stolen from a financial institution.
2. The email messages alert the consumer that their credit card has had fraudulent activity or that their bank account has had unusual activity.
3. The email message instructs the victims to call a phone number or click on a link to visit a website where their personal information is requested.
4. Once the victim calls the phone number in the text message or visits the website and provides the information requested, the Phisher has the information necessary to make fraudulent use of the card or access the account.
Vishing is a combination of Voice and phISHING. Vishing is the criminal practice of using social engineering over the public telephone system.
Example Scenario:
1. A criminal will call a list of phone numbers stolen from a financial institution.
2. When the victim answers the phone, an automated message is played to alert the consumer that their credit card has had fraudulent activity or that their bank account has had unusual activity.
3. The automated message instructs the victim to call the following phone number immediately. The same phone number is often shown in the spoofed caller ID and given the same name as the financial company they are pretending to represent.
4. When the victim calls the number provided, it is answered by automated instructions to enter their credit card number or bank account number on the key pad.
5. Once the victim enters their credit card number or bank account number, the Visher has the information necessary to make fraudulent use of the card or to access the account.
Smishing is a combination of SMS and phISHING. SMS (Short Message Service) is the technological protocol used for sending and receiving text messages on cell phones. Smishing is the criminal practice of using social engineering over the cellular phone system.
Example Scenario:
1. A criminal will send text messages to a list of cellular phone numbers stolen from a financial institution.
2. The text messages alert the consumer that their credit card has had fraudulent activity or that their bank account has had unusual activity.
3. The text message instructs the victims to call a phone number or visit a website where their personal information is requested.
4. Once the victim calls the phone number in the text message or visits the website and provides the information requested, the Smisher has the information necessary to make fraudulent use of the card or access the account.

- Be skeptical of suspicious e-mail, text messages, unfamiliar sites and links and any unprompted requests for personal information.
- Protect your personal information. Keep your user names and passwords secret and be skeptical of any requests for personal information.
- Always look for "https://" in the address of any site where you enter personal information; this indicates a secure connection.
- Do not click on links contained within e-mails. Open a new browser window and type the address yourself.
- Do not reply to phishing, smishing or vishing attempts. Never reply to phone calls, e-mail, or text messages asking for personal or financial information unless you can confirm the requestors identity.
- Keep security software (antivirus, anti-malware) up-to-date and keep firewall settings active.
Hearthland Payment Services Data Breach
Important Announcement to our Debit Cardholders
On January 20, 2009, Heartland Payment Systems (a nationwide payment processor for over 250,000 business locations) announced that a data intrusion into its computer network had occurred in 2008, potentially exposing debit and credit card transaction information. This exposure window appears to have occurred from May through November 2008. Heartland has created a website www.2008breach.com with information and FAQs. QNB was not directly a part of this breach nor do we utilize Heartland Payment Systems for card processing.
What are the facts known to date?
It is unknown how many accounts have actually been compromised. The exposed data includes debit and credit card numbers, cardholder names and expiration dates. No other personal information was compromised. QNB is beginning to receive lists of potentially affected debit cards from Visa®. Even though it is not known if any customer information was actually removed during the exposure, we are viewing this data to be at risk based on Visas recommendation.
What is QNB Bank doing to protect our customers?
To date, QNB has not identified any suspicious activity that indicates our cards are being misused. However, we believe that it is prudent to close and reissue cards as they are identified. We do not yet know the number of QNB CheckCards that may have been used at merchants who processed through the Heartland system, but we are anticipating a significant number may be affected. As we get information from Visa about the data compromise, we will be taking action on our customers cards in an orderly fashion to minimize inconvenience without taking undue risk. If your card is suspected of compromise, we will send you a letter explaining the issue as soon as we are informed by Visa. These cards will be reduced to a $400 daily limit for purchase type transactions (this minimizes your risk but allows you to continue to conduct routine daily transactions). Your ATM withdrawal limit will not be changed. You will be asked to stop into a branch to reorder a new card before a designated date (two weeks after the letter is sent). This affords you the opportunity to select your own PIN (PINS were not compromised). If you do not take steps to reorder a card, we will have one issued to you with a system-selected PIN on the date indicated in the letter. Three weeks after the letters are sent the old cards will be disabled. Note that joint account holders cards DO NOT have the same numbers. It is only necessary to close both cards if both cardholders are informed of the breach.
What should you do to protect yourself?
Monitor the activity on the account connected to your QNB CheckCard on a regular basis. In addition to reviewing your monthly statements, you can review account activity 24 hours a day/7days a week with QNB-Online internet banking. If you are not currently enrolled in QNB-Online, sign up today at www.QNBBANK.com. If you do not use online services, you can access your account activity with QNB-Voice 24 Hour Telephone Banking at 215-538-5600 (select option 1). Additionally, you can stop by any of our nine convenient branch locations where well be happy to assist you with any inquiries or questions. You can have peace of mind in knowing that you are not responsible for any unauthorized activity that occurs with your debit card. We want to reassure you that we are fully aware of the situation and are monitoring it closely to protect you.

Identity Theft -- What Is It and What to Do
Identity theft, which the U.S. Department of Justice labels the "crime of the new millennium," cost nearly 10 million Americans almost $5 billion in the past year, according to the Federal Trade Commission. And it costs businesses too. The FTC says 27.3 million individuals have been victimized since 1998 -- racking up a $48 billion tab for U.S. businesses.
Identity theft and account fraud are making big headlines. How can someone steal your identity? Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, Social Security Number, credit card number, account number, or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes.
Identity theft is a serious crime. People whose identities have been stolen can spend months or years - and their hard-earned money - cleaning up the mess thieves have made of their good name and credit record. In the meantime, victims may lose job opportunities, be refused loans, education, housing or cars, or even get arrested for crimes they didn't commit.
Your bank works hard every day to ward off these threats. Security is paramount in gathering personal data, as well as tracking transactions. There is a great deal of emphasis and specialization on things like encryption of information and strict authentication practices, but maximum security is possible only with your help.
Educating yourself on how to protect against privacy invasions is critical. Once you understand what information should be protected and what to do in case that information is compromised, you'll feel much more secure.
Here are some things you can do to prevent these crimes from happening and protect your assets and your good name:
- Don't give out financial information such as checking and credit card numbers and especially your Social Security number over the phone unless you initiated the call and know the person or organization you're dealing with.
- Report lost or stolen checks immediately. Also, review new deliveries of checks to make sure none has been lost in transit.
- Do not carry all your credit cards, your Social Security card, passport, etc in your wallet or purse at all times. Carry these only when need them.
- Carefully monitor your monthly bank and credit card statements and order a credit report once a year to check for inaccuracies and fraudulent use of your accounts.
- Guard your ATM Personal Identification Number and the ATM receipts.
- Be very careful when using your credit card on the Internet, or providing other information such as your Social Security number or other personal information.
- Always shred preapproved credit applications, credit card receipts, bills and other financial information before discarding them in the trash.
- If you applied for a new credit card or your regular bills have not arrived in a timely manner, call the bank or company involved.
- Don't put outgoing mail in or on your mailbox. Drop it into a secure, official Postal Service collection box.
If you think your identity has been stolen, here's what to do now:
- Contact your bank(s) and credit card issuers immediately so that the following can be done: access to your accounts can be protected/restricted; stop payments on missing checks; personal identification numbers (PINS) and online banking passwords changed; and a new account opened if appropriate. Be sure to indicate to the bank or card issuer all of the accounts and/or cards potentially impacted including ATM cards, check (debit) cards and credit cards. Customer service or fraud prevention telephone numbers can generally be found on your monthly statements.
- Contact the fraud departments of any one of the three major credit bureaus (see list below) to place a fraud alert on your credit file. The fraud alert requests creditors to contact you before opening any new accounts or making any changes to your existing accounts. As soon as the credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the other two credit bureaus will be automatically notified to place fraud alerts, and all three credit reports will be sent to you free of charge.

Experian: www.experian.com 888-397-3742

- Close the accounts that you know or believe have been tampered with or opened fraudulently.
- File a police report. Get a copy of the report to submit to your creditors and others that may require proof of the crime.
- File your complaint with the FTC (www.ftc.gov ). The FTC maintains a database of identity theft cases used by law enforcement agencies for investigations. Filing a complaint also helps us learn more about identity theft and the problems victims are having so that we can better assist you.

Internet phishing scams are one of the fastest-growing frauds today. Phishing typically involves a bogus e-mail message that uses legitimate materials, such as a company's Web site graphics and logos, in an attempt to entice email recipients to provide personal financial details, such as credit card and Social Security numbers.

Protect Yourself and Your Computer
There are many nasty things that can happen to your computer resulting in loss of data and/or unintended divulgence of personal information. Following are things that could make you and your PC very unhappy and some recommended ways to protect yourself
A program or piece of computer code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses are capable of replication to other computers. Viruses can compromise computer and network resources and bypass security systems. Some people distinguish between general viruses and worms. A worm is a special type of virus that can replicate itself and use memory, but cannot attach itself to other programs.
- Purchase Antivirus (AV) software AV software detects and removes viruses/worms from your computer (McAfee, Symantec).
- Purchase Firewall software - firewall software protects your computer from anything (or anyone) on the Internet that tries to access or alter files on your PC without your permission (McAfee, Symantec).
- Regularly update the virus definition files associated with the AV software.
- Regularly scan your computer for viruses.
- Do not click on or follow hyperlinks you are not familiar with or do not trust.
- Do not open e-mail attachments sent from a source you are not familiar with or do not trust.
Software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are inadvertently installed when visiting a website or clicking a hyperlink. Once installed, spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information covertly to someone else. Spyware can also gather and transmit personal information (e-mail addresses, passwords, credit card numbers, etc ). Spyware can also cause problems with computer resources causing PC's to run slowly or erratically.
- Purchase software that protects your computer from anything (or anyone) on the Internet that tries to access or alter files on your PC without your permission (AdAware, Spybot).
- Minimize unnecessary surfing on the Internet
- Do not click on or follow hyperlinks you are not familiar with or do not trust.
- Do not open e-mail attachments sent from a source you are not familiar with or do not trust.
The act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. Identity Theft is the procurement of another person's personal information (e.g., name, social security number, credit card number, passport) without that person's knowledge and the fraudulent use of such knowledge.
- Never give out personal information to anyone, unless you know and/or trust the person you are giving the information to. Always be suspicious of someone asking you for bank account numbers, social security numbers, birth dates and other personal information.
Electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. E-mail advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup.
- Purchase Anti-Spam Software - this software filters your e-mail for SPAM and either deletes it or directs it to a destination of your choosing. There are many companies who offer anti-spam software packaged with AV software (McAfee, Symantec).
Power Surges/Failures
Power failures are accompanied by surges and dips in power. Outages, surges and dips can all be harmful to your computer hardware.
Purchase an uninterruptible power source (UPS) to plug your computer into. UPS's have batteries that, in the event of power failure, continue to provide power for your computer providing you with enough time to properly shut down applications and save data. UPS's also provide surge and dip protection.
Security News and Updates
Avoid Charity Scams
The Federal Trade Commission last week issued a new consumer alert, "Helping Victims of Hurricane Katrina: Your Guide to Giving Wisely," that offers tips to help consumers ensure that their donations reach the needy. Among other things, the alert advised people to be wary of charities that spring up overnight. "They may be well-meaning, but lack the infrastructure to provide assistance," the alert said. Also, be suspicious of charities with names that sound like familiar, or nationally known organizations. "Some phony charities use names that sound or look like those of respected, legitimate organizations," it said. Read more >>

Notice of Changes in Temporary Insurance Coverage for Transaction Accounts
All funds in a noninterest-bearing transaction account are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation from December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDICs general deposit insurance rules.
The term noninterest-bearing transaction account includes a traditional checking account or demand deposit account on which the insured depository institution pays no interest. It does not include other accounts, such as traditional checking or demand deposit accounts that may earn interest, NOW accounts, money-market deposit accounts, and Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts ("IOLTAs").
For more information about temporary FDIC insurance coverage of transaction accounts, visit www.fdic.gov.
FDIC Extends Expiration Date for Increased Insurance Coverage
On May 20, 2009, the FDIC extended the expiration date for the per depositor $250,000 insurance limit from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2013. On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except for IRAs and other certain retirement accounts which will remain at $250,000 per depositor.
To calculate your level of FDIC coverage visit www.myFDICinsurance.gov.
Limits on Transfers from Savings Accounts Increased
The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) has announced revisions to Regulation D (Reg D), which take effect on July 2, 2009, revising the transaction limits imposed on savings account transfers and withdrawals. Reg D imposed two (2) limits on certain types of transactions that may be initiated from a savings account per calendar month or by statement cycle period.
* Six Transaction Limit: This limit applies to transfers to third parties or to other deposit accounts at the same bank made by preauthorized means (such as an ACH auto debit), automatic means (such as a savings overdraft protection product), telephone, electronic or other data transmission (such as through an online banking product).
* Three Transaction Limit: This limit, which is a subset of the overall six transaction limit, applies to checks, drafts, point of sale, debit card or similar orders payable to third parties.
During the calendar month the savings account would be limited to an overall total of 6 transactions as listed in either of the above Six or Three Transaction Limit categories; however, only 3 of those 6 were permitted to be transactions as those listed under the Three Transaction Limit.
The revision to Reg D removes the Three Transaction Limit effective July 2, 2009 and the transactions that were previously limited to the Three Transaction Limit category now become part of the Six Transaction Limit category as follows:
* Six Transaction Limit (effective 7/2/09): This limit applies to transfers to third parties or to other deposit accounts at the same bank made by preauthorized means (such as an ACH auto debit), automatic means (such as a savings overdraft protection product), telephone, electronic or other data transmission (such as through an online banking product), checks, drafts, point of sale, debit card or similar orders payable to third parties.
What Happened to the Paper Check?
This informative brochure explains the bill payment check conversion process and answers a number of common questions about check conversion. ( download PDF brochure )
Check 21 Act
Check 21 Act Brings Changes to Checks
In October 2003, the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act became law. Now known simply as Check 21, the legislation's goals include to improve the overall efficiency of the nation's payments system.
Today, most checks must be physically transportedwhether across town or across the countrybefore they can be cleared. This is expensive and time-consuming.
Check 21 provides a new option: legal acceptance of paper reproductions of original checks.
This reproduction is called a substitute check and is produced from a digital image of the original check.
How Will Check 21 Affect You?
By Oct. 28, 2004, every bank will be required to accept substitute checks, just as they currently accept your original paper checks. If you receive your canceled checks or electronic images of your canceled checks with your account statement, you will begin seeing substitute checks after that date. A substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check and will include all the information contained on the original.
Check 21 includes several safeguards for check writing consumers. Check 21 helps speed check clearing, so check fraud can be discovered faster. Faster fraud detection means faster resolution for customers. Another safeguard: A bank that creates a substitute check must warrant that it is accurate. The bank also has to make sure that the substitute check is produced in accordance with industry standards for quality.
A Word About Check Conversion
You may already have experienced two other emerging payment practices, and each is an example of check conversion, which uses the automated clearinghouse, or ACH, system.
In the first example, a retailer converts a paper check into an electronic ACH payment on the spot. In this situation, if you've written a check for a purchase, you are handed the check back immediately after it's converted into an electronic ACH payment at the store or shop.
In the second example, regular billers (telephone, utilities and credit card providers, for example) convert your check payments into ACH payments. The check has been converted to an electronic format, and you won't receive a copy of the original. The payment will be reflected in your bank statement, which becomes the legally accepted proof of your payment.
Keep in mind that both of these example transactions are different from substitute checks.
All of these changes allow for faster payment processing and even better service to the nation's banking customers.
Efficient Check Clearing Benefits You
The improvements brought about through Check 21 allow for faster payment processing and even better service to you, the bankingcustomer. A few of the benefits include:
- Faster check clearing
- Decreased fraud
- Less paper
- Increased security
FACT Act-Free Credit Reports
As permitted by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act), consumers will be able to request a free annual credit report from the three consumer reporting companies- Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
The FACT Act amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act and has three major objectives:
- Enhance the ability of consumers to combat identity theft
- Increase the accuracy of consumer reports
- Allow consumers to exercise greater control regarding the type and amount of marketing solicitations they receive
The free annual credit reports will be phased in across the country from west to east over a nine-month period. Consumers in eastern states, which include Pennsylvania , can order their reports beginning 9/01/2005.

Bond Street is mentioned in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, and Suzanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell- which you simply MUST read, not that you asked. Bond Street also features the interesting statue "Allies", a bronze representation of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt engaging in convivial chat on a park bench.

I know you have been desperately seeking a post from me for the past three days and I do apologise. But guess what I have been doing!!! GUESS GUESS GUESS okay, sorry. I've been planning my holiday to England in April EEEEEEEEEEE!! I have the hotel in London reserved, and a cottage in East Dean **great excitement ensues** Hopefully I will stay out of trouble this time, but I kinda doubt it.
Ok. I wanna live here.


text: There are times where I'm feeling like I've lost all control. And I'm talking about a year or more. And I remember when I was a kid and it was simple. I couldn't ask for more. And I was heading down the straight and narrow, but then the devil pulled me in by my elbows. He gently removed my blindfold. I said "Don't show me more."
