brief (max 100 chars) reason post should be removed:
My sister is getting married. All conversations with family friends now consist of "you're next!" or "I know a nice Indian boy…"
Other Indian Friend: Yeah.. Lakers are okay.. I like Celtics, though.. :D Me: gasps Indian Friend # 2: Shh… Don't say that to any other Indian or they'll jump you…
Me: OMG! Dad, I got a 99% on my [insert subject here] test!! I'm so happy! Dad: 99%?! D:< You could've done better.. You could've gotten 100%!
You know you have immigrant parents when you're at the store, and they remove the wrapping or open the box to see what's inside a product. That's not it though. When they decide to buy it, they leave the one they opened, and take an unopened one to the cashier!
After watching the Rebecca Black – Friday video 20 times yesterday, it still manages to make me laugh. Unfortunately, I wasn't considering the effect it would have on those around me. Today I caught my mom singing: .."friday friday, sunday, monday".. She said it was a good way to learn english.
Everytime we eat out at a non-desi restaurant, this is what my dad says:
Today, my mom caught me smoking. She hit me with a pan SO hard that the handle came off. Then she started yelling at me for breaking the pan.
Indian parents have discovered Facebook, and they're telling all their friends. Maybe this is a sign to try and quit again…or figure out how the privacy settings work.
Indian parents will never give you "The Talk". Although I really do wonder how they'd pull it off.
You know you have cheap parents when all the ketchup around your house is from Mcdonalds, Taco Bell and Wendys packets. You know you have cheap IMMIGRANT parents when all your shampoo and conditioner are from Travelodge, Motel 8 and Holiday Inn.
all of you stfu! My dad is literally the star of the Metro PCS commercials
In the car with my dad today, and Justin Bieber comes on the radio… (comment below)… I didn't know whether to correct him or give him a high five.
Mom: Close the TV. Me: You mean turn it off? Mom: Ya, close it, and open the lights, it's too dark in here. Lesson: Lights, TV's, stereos and other appliances are "opened" and "closed", never turned "on" or "off"
My relatives will travel the long journey from India to visit and if you asked them what their favorite place is in Canada, their answer will be: the Dollar Store.
You know you have immigrantparents when… They still yell into the phone when phoning "back-home" because phone technology hasn't changed in 20 years :\ You are also heavily encouraged to do the same.
Dad: a B on the report card stands for BEATING

fixed wirelessFixed wireless refers to wireless devices or systems that are situated in fixed locations, such as an office or home, as opposed to devices that are mobile, such as cell phones and PDAs. Fixed wireless devices normally derive their electrical power from utility mains, as opposed to portable wireless devices that normally derive their power from batteries.
The point-to-point signal transmissions occur through the air over a terrestrial microwave platform rather than through copper or fiber cables; therefore, fixed wireless does not require satellite feeds or local phone service. The advantages of fixed wireless include the ability to connect with users in remote areas without the need for laying new cables and the capacity for broad bandwidth that is not impeded by fiber or cable capacities.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am new to this school and I am worring a little about this.My son was enrolled not by the lottery but by the waiting list.I am happy but at the same time nervous.He went to Christian Academy Private school for his kindergarten year and I was not satisfied-teacherhis ,Ms.Martin, didnt teach him anything extra even though he went there with the 1st grade knowledge-reading,counting,general knoledge in history,geography,they learnt how to write in script though through the school year which is really cool, but it was not enough for my son.He was bored all the time getting misbehavior notes,which was very upsetting for me.That is why I decided to try a new school-Ithis time Infinity.I hope it would be a wonderful year for my son there, and I will definitely keep you posted further.Good luck for every parent out there looking for a better school.Hopefully our efforts will pay off in future.
As a student who currently attends ICS, I will give you the facts and only the facts. Only send your kid here if you are looking for the education, not the art and music program. My 6th grade teacher was okay, but I've had better at Paxtonia Elementary School, the school I attended grades K-5. My 7th grade teacher is, by far, the best teacher ever! She is the role model everyone could look up to. But, Infinity tells parents one lie, "We don't give homework." I get homework, trust me. Not as much as my brother who attends CDMS, but still a fair amount. The art and music program is pretty bad though. Art class is boring and will positively give no beneficial information to your child. In music class, the music teacher gives you no instruction at all. She has the middle school singing songs that Kindergarten students should be singing. PE is okay, although many students don't think the teacher is good. German class is one of my favorite classes. The teacher is amazing. But, the paraprofessionals are mean and annoying. One always shushes you, even when you explain that you are consulting with a classmate for help. Danke f r das Lesen! (I think I spelled that right.)
My child recently started HS after attending Infinity since it's inception. Infinity did a fantastic job of preparing my child for life long learning. Students at Infinity are required to present reports and presentations to their class from Kindergarten on up. They receive positive and constructive feedback on their work. Giving a 3 minute speech about "yourself" in HS was a no brainer for my Infinity grad, not so for kids of other schools. My child's typing skills, note taking skills, attitude towards school, teachers and learning are far above those of their HS classmates. The supurb, enriched, learning environment at Infinity is certainly missed by my child. I will be forever thankful to NJH and the Infinity Charter School staff for the amazing work they have done and continue to do with my children. As for art and music, take a look at Infinity's yearbooks. See the amazing artwork produced under Mrs. A's direction. See how many students participated in Dauphin County Chorus and Dauphin County Orchestra every year, thanks to Mrs. W. Incredible opportunities await your GIFTED child at Infinity Charter School.
Pardon abbrev's, but lot to pack in 1,200 chars. Many w/bad reviews just don't get it - CD would kill to have Infinity (INF) die, so a certain amount of protective behav by staff/admin is expected - have had to fight hard to exist. Kids that say they are always in trouble-wonder why?? INF has great discipline which pub school sorely lacks (anything goes). So if your kids like to cut up/misbehave, keep em in public where they will thrive! My daughter just finished 3rd, and worked her way from 3rd to 7th gr spelling in 1 yr-so much for no individualization! She had German in 3rd-not until high school in CD! For those who think that parents don't get a say-try public! Don't even get a parent-teacher conference in pub middle schl, and many at CD don't return e-mails/ph calls. My middle schl son heard so much positive from sis-now he is going to INF just for 7th & 8th. Yes, music, art, athl are weak-but because the school is so small-they do best they can. INF is for gifted, but cant discriminate-shy, mediocre, disruptive kids wont like it. Real vacations on INF calendar-way better than CD pub. New princp this yr will only make better. INF IS A GREAT SCHOOL-NEED MORE LIKE IT!
I say this with all due respect (which is little) but this school is one of the worst I've ever heard of. I went there from its inception and graduated to go onto SciTech last year in 2010. The music and art programs are not only bad but insulting, the curriculum consists of not doing any real music or art but just doodling mediocre paintings and singing songs for 3rd graders (which is great until you graduated 3rd grade). The teachers of music and art rely more on keeping control of the students by putting them down (and sometimes insulting) then they do actually teaching. I won't lie this school is great but only if the teacher's like you, otherwise you're out of luck. I would not recommend this school for any child that actually has opinions and can differentiate from right and wrong conduct of a teacher. The only thing that stopped me from rating this a 1 is the fact that the 7th/8th grade homeroom teacher. She is supportive and will actually teach a gifted curriculum if you're an above average student (unlike most other teachers). Considering I only have like 120 characters left I will let my rating explain how good of a teacher she is, keep in mind she brought the rating up 3
I currently attend this school and I love it! i've been at the school since it first opend and will be devastated when I have to leave in two years. I find the teachers to be very helpful, paitient and friendly. I have never had a teacher that I was never able to click with. I feel that the ciriculum is perfect. It's just the right mix of challenge and fun. I love the way the clases are combined and the way this school operates. I love how they have themes, and that every subject is centered around that theme. I could never pick a favorite theme. I would say the only downfall of this school is the building. It's a little run down, but I know that they are trying to build a new place. In all, it's an amazing school and I would highly reccomend sending your kids here.
My family is continually grateful for the opportunities that this school has afforded us. The individualized learning has suited my three children well, as they are able to excel and advance in areas that they are strong, while still assuring that areas that need work are not ignored or pushed under the rug. While no school can meet all students needs all the time, this has been a great fit for us.
I'm amazed at the disparity in these reviews; parents seem either to love or hate Infinity. My family has been here two years now and for us it has been a great fit. My kids were identified as gifted in their public school, and needed a richer and more challenging curriculum. Other parents I know with similar situations also love the school and find it to be a good fit for their children. I could be wrong, but I wonder if some of the negative reviews come from parents for whom the school was just not a good fit for their children. If your child does not love learning, has difficulty behaving and paying attention in class, and needs lots of drill/repetition and homework, Infinity is not for you. Alternatively, if your child has a thirst for knowledge, learns quickly, and is fairly well-behaved and respectful, you will love Infinity.
I was part of the first graduating class at Infinity, and I have to say that I look back at my years there with no regrets. . The curriculum offered unlimited possibilities, as I was introduced to the concepts of silicon based life forms and bioengineering in seventh grade. Infinity covered the basic material that you would learn during a year at public schools in a matter of weeks, and then challenged me to expand my thinking with delightfully challenging course material. As a public school student that STILL struggles to find adequate challenge even in college, I highly recommend Infinity to the parents of gifted students.
My child attended Infinity for 4th & 5th grade and is now back in public school for 6th grade. Up through & including 3rd grade she tested in the advanced range and upon leaving Infinity after 5th grade tested with a combination of basic and proficient. She was extremely bored with Infinity. My child is very shy and due to the despotic atmosphere strongly pushed at Infinity my child withdrew even more and became very anxious about going to school. Having two school aged children and trying both Infinity and public school, we realize the grass is not always greener and public schools have a lot to offer. To each his own of course but for our family we would not recommend Infinity for academics, learning social skills, nor for learning responsibility, independence, nor self confidence all of which are vital aspects of a well rounded education.
Disappointing is the word I would use to describe Infinity Charter School. I say this both as the parent of an Infinity student and as an educator who has taught gifted children. The school simply does not deliver the gifted curriculum that it advertises. Yes, it does have some of the elements of a gifted program such as ability grouping, but the academics are far from advanced. Contrary to what is advertised, instruction is NOT individualized and students are routinely shortchanged when it comes to resources. Plus the school s atmosphere is so repressive that the kids are not allowed to express their individuality or creativity. Not exactly the kind of setting that you would want, especially for a gifted child. A year at Infinity is enough. My gifted child will not be returning next year.
Our children are new to Infinity Charter School this year, but will definitely be returning next year. Both now come home from school excited and anxious to share what they have learned at school. The most exciting details brought home from their previous school was 'we had fun at lunch and recess.' We feel that the individualized curriculum is wonderful and allows our children to easily challenge themselves to the 'next level' in learning. Previously, our children's teacher's did not have time to assist with accelerated learning. This was left to a gifted teacher to provide during a pull-out program twice a week. I must agree with something a parent posted yesterday; 'at this time, we could not imagine returning to a school where mediocracy and teaching to the middle are best practices..' . No one school is going to be perfect for everyone. You must be open to new ideas.
My children have just thrived at Infinity. I feel that the idividualized curriculum has benefited both of my children. For the first time my children are allowed to go at their pace and are excited about school. My youngest is bright but struggles with processing issues and the staff and administration has bent over backwards to help him utilize and teach him skills that will help him. They both come home and eagerly share what they have learned at school (that NEVER happened before). I have seen a lack of respect to the children by some of the ancillary staff but I have brought it to the administrations attention and it has been dealt with. No school is perfect but for us, at this time I could not imagine returning to a school where mediocracy and teaching to the middle are best practices. We will definitely be returning next year.
While we mostly agree with the post of May 4, the unfortunate aspect to Infinity is the lack of respect given to the children & parents alike. Sadly, the children seem to be treated as though they are in a detention type setting and the parents are asked to voice their opinion(s) but unless you have something positive to say...they really do not want to hear it. I feel this 'suppressive' type atmosphere is not conducive to healthy learning nor a healthy child. We have chosen not to trade in our childrens' self esteem for this alternative approach to learning...our children will not be returning. In addition, although they teach according to gifted practices, not all of the students are 'gifted' and this has also been a downfall for us. Our children, who were tested as gifted, have a hard time relating/understanding many of the students logic and behaviors.
I would not recommend this school to the parents of any child, let alone a gifted child. My child attended Infinity for 2 years. The school did not even have a curriculum, let alone a gifted curriculum. The science and social studies programs were weak, and the music, art, foreign language & PE programs were very poor. The state academic standards were routinely ignored. The Director/CEO cared more about keeping her iron grip on the running of the school than she did about the students. I suspect that this school is being used to develop an Infinity Charter School franchise that will financially benefit the current operators of the school. Too bad students have to pay the price.
Infinity has been an extremely good school for our two kids, who have hard-to-meet needs. Our son has dyslexia and has been given a customized program that has made a huge difference for him. Our daughter has graduated at this point and is doing extremely well in all Honors classes in high school. I understand the concerns from other middle school parents about transitioning to high school after not getting a lot of homework at Infinity, but this really didn't turn out to be a problem for our daughter. Kids get used to homework; the more important thing, I think, is that they be prepared academically, and Infinity certainly did a great job there. She found she was way ahead of her classmates from other schools, so kudos to Infinity on teaching a strong curriculum!
This school is a Godsend for gifted children. This is my son's second year in this school and I am very pleased with his progress.
After three years at Infinity...my child now in middle school...I must pass this on. My honest opinion...the worst aspect of Infinity's middle school is the lack realistic preparation to study & work that traditional school brings. Virtually no books come home to study from & do homework, a rude awakening when in 9th grade. One book came home in 6th & none after! New middle school teacher may help the other superior one change this problem. They don't supply enough textbooks for each child & are never 'allowed' to bring textbooks home...why? Almost no field trips due to lack of funds...why? Our tax dollars...children seem to be shortchanged...we need to address the issue of WHERE that per student cost allowance going? Outside audit & parent reviews & former students might provide honest evaluation to school board. More honest than 'crony reviews' I have read. Infinity not recommended for 8th graders!
Our family loves Infinity. We have found that the teachers are concerned about the students and work to ignite the kids interest in the subject they are learning. The curriculum is challenging and allows each child to move at their own pace. The environment is caring and respectful among the children as well as between the teachers and students. I love the mixed age classes and smaller class size. The only drawback is the older facility which hopefully be remedied in the next few years and a high teacher turn-over. We have only left the school because we moved out of state. I am looking for a new school as much like Infinity as I can find.
ehhh, infinity really isn't the best. it's my first year there and i already am wishing i would've stayed at my old school. Even though most of the teachers are nice, the 7/8 teacher makes us get in trouble for everything and the principal is way too overprotective. I don't really necessarily reccomend this school much.

4 Beverage Giants Destined to Get Even Bigger
Larry is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Forget all the jokes about liquid assets. Beverage stocks are a good place to be. This is a non-cyclical industry that has solid dividends and good long-term prospects. The best way to invest is in the shares of the four heaviest hitters.
With the middle class expanding rapidly both in Asia and South America, demand for this quartet's consumable liquids is poised to rise for many years to come. At the same time, the mature markets in the U.S. and Europe provide stability and consistency for their businesses.
Our four companies cover the spectrum of the beverage business: soft drinks, soda distribution, liquor and beer. They are big, and through acquisitions, getting bigger – and thus claiming more market share.
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) for instance, the goliath of the soft drink sector, has bought its distributors for years while partnering with companies in emerging markets. Anheuser-Bush (NYSE: BUD) burst onto the global stage when InBev bought it four years ago; it now manufactures nearly 200 brands of beer worldwide. Diageo (NYSE: DEO), the world's largest hard liquor maker, has quietly acquired smaller competitors like Cabin Fever Maple Flavored Whisky last June. In South America, Coca Cola FEMSA (NYSE: KOF), the largest franchise bottler of Coke products in the world, acquired the beverage division of Mexico's Grupos Formento Queretano in 2012.
Given the growing world demand for beverage products, there are few bargains to be had. Nevertheless, the industry's continued growth and much of the world's improving economic outlook should propel its stock prices higher.
Diageo, headquartered in the United Kingdom, sports such brands as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Bailey's Irish Cream and Jose Cuervo. They all are the leading brands in their categories sold in 180 countries. Diageo dominates its market. Their well-known brands and strong distribution network give them a formidable advantage in their strongest market, the United States, resulting in a 35% margin, well above their consolidated margin in the high 20s.
They pay a 2.4% dividend with positive cash flow above $6.00 per share. The price for this company is high, with a current price/earnings ratio of 20. But then again it should be that high, with a 35.9% return on equity. The industry average is only 3.8%. Their forward price to earnings ratio is 16.5, which does not seem too high when compared with the current industry average of 32.8. Debt is heavy, with the ratio of long-term debt to equity at 1.32, but cash flow can easily service it.
Anheuser-Bush InBev dominates the global beer market as the largest brewer. The iconic maker of Budweiser, once based in St. Louis before Belgium's InBev took it over, now has a 48% share in the U.S. market, and in China it ranks in third place – China is projected to account for 40% of global beer growth through 2020. Return on equity is 19%, up from 16%, thanks to a more expensive mix of beers sold these days.
The dividend yield is only 1.5%, but the payout growth was 35% in 2012. Meanwhile, the payout ratio (the amount of net income used for dividends) is only 30%, allowing plenty of room for future increases. Earnings are up 30% year over year, though revenue grew by only 1.8%. Operating cash flow is up 21.6%. While margins were only slightly higher at 31.6% from the prior year, they are well above the industry average. Based on 2013 earnings estimates, the company's P/E ratio is 17.
Coca-Cola is the world's soft drink leader, as well as a major player in non-carbonated drinks, an area of significant growth. This includes such brands as VitaminWater, Simply Orange Juice, Minute Maid, Dasani and Powerade. This is especially important in the U.S. where consumption of carbonated beverages is falling. Atlanta-based Coke operates in more than 200 countries and invests heavily in Russia, China and Brazil to generate growth. They earn 70% of their revenue outside of the U.S.
Good news for investors: The company is currently buying back 500 million shares, more than 10% of the outstanding volume. Return on equity, at 27%, is strong but is down from 41% in 2010, as a result of buying their distributors, which carry a much lower ROE. Cash flow is up 15% year over year and the dividend is 2.7%. Their payout ratio is 52%, so the dividend will continue to grow. Earnings are expected to increase 10% in 2013. Their forward P/E is 17.
Coca Cola FEMSA, headquarted in Mexico, is the most expensive of the four stocks highlighted. But as the world's largest bottler company by volume, it is worthy of consideration at the right price. They have operations in Mexico, Central America, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. They also recently purchased 51% of Coke's Filipino bottling company, giving the company a foothold in that dynamically growing Asia market.
Their ROE is 14%, up from 12.5% in 2011, yet that is below the industry average of 24.4%. They have little debt, and operating cash flow grew 8% year over year. Revenue is up 19.3%. The dividend is only 1.3%, but is safe. Earnings are expected to increase 26% in 2012 and then only 13% in 2013. With a forward P/E of over 25, the owners of the shares have been generously rewarded. New participants should wait for a price dip to buy.

mTrawl – A free gift for the web community
For a number of years the landscape free website checkers hasn't really moved forward that much. Since the introduction of xenu's link sleuth it seems like everyone said game over and stopped trying with free link checkers and other quality tools.
We don't want that to be the case. Our tools, frankly, aren't for everyone (yes, I really did just type that). If you're a professional web developer working on many sites or the owner of quite a large site then DeepTrawl and CloudTrawl make complete sense. You need pro-tools, because you're time is very valuable. But, if you're an ametuer web developer, or a pro in the making then you may simply not have the cash to splash out on something commercial. You may want something free. That doesn't mean the tool you use should be slow, unpolished, or lacking in essential features.
This is why we've created mTrawl. It's based on DeepTrawl, just with less features. It's aimed squarely at those who need something to check their website works right, but can't justify spending money on a product or service.
So what does mTrawl do? Check it out:
It's a link checker
Install it on your PC or Mac & click start. mTrawl rips through every page page of your site (yes, every page, there are no limits) & finds the broken links. It shows every broken link on every page in a really easy to read report. It even gives you the line number where the broken links were found.
It's a validator
This is where mTrawl really excels. If you just want a free link checker there are many options. None were aware of also validate your html. While mTrawl is checking each page for broken links it's also validating every page, just like the W3C validator does. Why would you want this? Well, validation is really, really important. It checks your code is correct, i.e. complaint with a standard (either html 5, xhtml or 4.01). If you have errors in your code that could damage your seo or mean your site doesn't render correctly in different browsers.
It's really very, very polished
It's may have way less features than it's sister, DeepTrawl but it's just as polished. Just because it's a free product doesn't mean it should look bad, crash, only work with some older operating systems, or generally just annoy you with little niggles. All we know about producing a successful commercial product also went into mTrawl, so you'll feel good using it. Of course we hope that one day you'll love it enough to move over to one of our pro products. Until then, happy trawling!

Adding a description meta tag in wordpress
Having a description meta tag in your pages is really good for SEO. A description goes in the head section of your html & looks like this:
<meta name="description" content="Description of your page." />
The description is often used displayed below the title of the page in search results. Although it isn't generally technically used as a ranking factor for your page it is important to SEO. If the description is poor, viewers are less likely to click. Since modern search engines actually use click through rate as a ranking factor, the description can influence your page's rank indirectly! This makes is very important to have a good, compelling description for your pages which includes your most important keywords.
When we released DeepTrawl 4, we added a cool new SEO feature which takes your list of keywords and checks every page in your site to make sure at least one is optimized for it. Amongst several ranking factors this feature makes sure the keyword is in the page's description tag.
When we started pushing our own long tail SEO more we discovered that adding a description meta tag in WordPress is not supported by default. Damn. This seems like an odd omission. There are a few plugins that attempt to fix this but we wanted to go plugin-free (won't get into why here).
The solution we discovered is surprisingly simple. We now use the Excerpt feature which is built into WordPress and output it's content as the description. The Excerpt box is shown below the text entry box in the WordPress editor:
Before using this technique you should know that the excerpt can be used for other purposes, and you should be sure you're fine with using the same text for the page description and any of these:
1) It can be used in place of the full post texts in RSS fields.
2) Depending on your theme it can be displayed in places like search results and archives.
Most of the time, the same thing you'd want Google showing for your page description is probably what you'd want in these places, but it's best to go in with full knowledge. More on the above can be found here.
Adding the code to your template
We'll assume at this point that you're comfortable making basic edits to your WordPress template. Once you've added the code below you're pretty much done. That's why we love this technique, it's stunningly simple.
1) Open the header.php file in your theme
2) Insert the following code right after the <title></title> tags:
if (is_single() && $post->post_excerpt != "") {
$post = $wp_query->post;
$descrip = strip_tags($post->post_excerpt);
echo '<meta name="description" content="'.$descrip.'">';
The code above adds a description tag containing the excerpt text if there is an excerpt and if the viewer is looking at a single post (e.g. it won't be added to your blog front page).
Once you're done the code should be below your title tag, like this:
<title><?php wp_title(", true, 'right'); ?></title>
if (is_single() && $post->post_excerpt != "") {
$post = $wp_query->post;
$descrip = strip_tags($post->post_excerpt);
echo '<meta name="description" content="'.$descrip.'">';
Now save your template and you're ready to test it out.
Adding descriptions to posts
You can now add a description meta tag in wordpress posts very easily. Just update your posts by adding an excerpt. Remember your descriptions should be engaging, they should make searchers want to click your link. Also remember to include your keywords, just don't be spammy .
Also, since you're clearly into SEO, remember that DeepTrawl can make the process of performing on site SEO much easier. It checks you have a page optimized for each of your keywords. This allows the SEO process to be all about writing great content, not worrying about the minutiae of on page SEO. Learn more here.
Before we end, thanks should go to the people who helped us figure out the code above, it was based on the discussion here.
An seo url tweak: adding keywords to urls in wordpress
In DeepTrawl 4 we added a new keyword seo feature. It checks a page of your site is perfectly optimized for each keyword on your list. This encouraged us to up our own long tail seo game.
One of the things the feature checks is that a page has the required keyword in it's url, like this:
The reasons for doing this are quite well documented. Having your most important keywords in a page's url (what we call an seo url) helps you to increase your rankings in search results and helps clicks-throughs since Google highlights the keywords in the seo url (this subtly sends a signal to the searcher that the page is more relevant). Adding keywords to urls really is a no brainer, even Google's own Matt Cutts thinks it's a good idea.
We found it very easy to follow this policy for the parts of our sites that run on flat html files. For the parts in Wordpress this is a little harder, but with the steps below you can get wordpress to play ball and become an seo url master.
Step 1: Change your permalink settings
"Permalinks" refers to the url scheme used by wordpress. It can use many different schemes, for example the default is probably the worst, just giving a unique id for each article:
Although wordpress can give you a much better scheme with a couple of clicks, we're going to show you how to create the best automatic permalink structure, which can then be tweaked and changed for each post by adding keywords to urls manually. By default, your untweaked urls will look like this:
So, let's get started:
1a) First, log into wordpress and go to Settings > Permalink Settings. You'll see a screen like this:
1b) Click the Custom Structure button and enter this:
Now click Save Changes.
At this point you may see a message like the following:
If you don't get this message you can move on to step 3. If you do see the message, it means Wordpress didn't have the permissions needed to change your .htaccess file. It's important to get this resolved right away but you'll need to be able to log into your server using ssh or similar. If you don't have access to do that, reset and save your permalink settings & you'll be back where you were. If you do see the message and you can ssh into your server, continue with step 2.
Step 2: Amend your .htaccess file if needed
This section assumes you have Wordpress installed on Linux and are comfortable using a command line at a basic level. If these don't apply to you, we recommend you revert your permalink settings in the WordPress dashboard & stop here.
2a) Log into your Wordpress server using ssh or similar
2b) cd to the root directory for your wordpress install. It may be something like this:
2c) Edit your .htaccess file or create one if it doesn't exist, (we prefer to use vi for this, but tastes vary)
2d) If the file already contains some settings, down key to the end and paste the directive given to you in the WordPress dashboard. It's best to paste from the dashboard as this may vary, but the directive we were given looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
Now you should be all set. To make sure, go to the main page of your blog and click one of the post titles. As long as the post appears ok everything should be fine now, the url scheme and the rewriting directives are now working together. Phew!
We can't help putting a plug here, having a link checker like our own DeepTrawl or CloudTrawl really helps with peace of mind for changes like this
Step 3: Control the url for each post
The this point each post in your blog will have changed to an seo url scheme, the links will all be pointing to urls like:
This is great, but post titles aren't always the best default for your seo url. It's best to try not to have more than 5 words in any url. Much more and the most important words look less important and large amounts of words in urls can look spammy, both to visitors and to search engines.
It's a good idea to manually override the url of a post when it gets too long. Luckily WordPress will now make this easy.
3a) Create a new test post
3b) Click Save Draft
3c) You can now see the permalink box underneath your post title:
This makes changing your url really easy. Generally keywords are separated with hyphens (-).
So… you're done. You can now enjoy all the seo benefits of adding keywords to urls.
Don't forget; DeepTrawl can make your on site SEO much easier. You can learn more here.
How to spell check web pages effectively
Making sure to spell check web pages is really important. This isn't a new issue. The problem of spelling errors is as old as the written word, but the modern web does present some unique challenges. When you review a page on the screen, you need to make sure you're checking all the text. This is sometimes tricky. Take a look at this example:
Can you see the spelling error? Try looking again. Still no? Here it is…
The reason you couldn't see the spelling error in the (made up) example is that it was hidden until the mouse roles over the menu, and this is a common issue when spell checking sites.
If you spell check web pages manually in your browser you need to be extremely careful to check the "hidden" areas of the page. Often these are simply menus, where there isn't too much text to get wrong, but in some sites these hidden areas can be a lot bigger….
In the above example there's a large amount of text hidden behind those tabs. In fact, taken together they contain more text than the rest of the page. So the first lesson is: beware of tabs, menus and other hidden areas, they often contain text that needs to be spell checked.
The following sections contain hints on checking other parts of pages, which in some case are completely hidden when you view them in the browser, but they're some of the most important parts of the content.
The title
The <title> tags in the <head> section of a web page contain the text that will appear in a couple of places:
1) The browser tab used to open the page:
2) Search engine results. Search engines use the title tag in their listings. This makes the title an incredibly important page element to check!
The description
This is a slightly more obscure part of a page. It never appears in the browser when the page is viewed. The description is found in the top of your html, like this:
<title>Your title</title>
<meta name="description" content="Text describing the content of the page">
The description is often used by the search engines to describe the page, enticing the viewer to click on it. Here's an example of how it appears:
Image alt's
<img src="imageFile.png" alt="A description of what's in the image" />
How to handle these
If you're spell checking manually by opening pages in your browser it's important to check tabs and menus etc. to find hidden content. It's also important to do right click > View page source and make sure all the hidden areas (title, description, image alt's) are spelled correctly.
There is also a better way. Our tool, DeepTrawl, will automatically check all the content of every page and all of the above. With a single click you can find the spelling errors in an entire site.
DeepTrawl v4 is here
It's been a little while since DeepTrawl has seen a major upgrade so this one is truly huge. Here's an overview of the most important new features.
Html 5 validation
This is something we're very proud to announce. Html 5 validation is now baked in. In fact it's exactly the same html 5 validation you get from w3c. Of course as with every DeepTrawl check, this works on your entire site with one click. More.
Css Validation
This is a brand new feature in v4. When a site is trawled all of the internal, external and inline styles are read, just like the html. Css validation shows you all the errors along side all the site's other issues. But we've gone a lot further than just validation. Css is now a first class citizen – user added checks can now analyze css and it's import, font & image links are checked. More.
Keyword SEO
This is such a big feature there's too much to go through in this post – so here's a very quick overview. The first step towards getting to the top of the search results is really good on-site seo. You need to make sure each keyword you want to rank for has at least one really well optimized page. That page must have the keyword in the title, h1, body text and there are a lot more details to check.
There are a few tools out there to make sure a single page is optimized for a single keyword – that's relatively easy to do. The problem is anything more than a tiny site will have a lot of pages and a long list of keywords it wants to target. That's where DeepTrawl 4's Keyword SEO check comes in. It checks every page in your site against all of your keywords and gives you a report showing which page is optimized for each keyword. If there's no perfectly optimized page it will show the closest matches and tell you how to optimize them.
As a bonus, because this is like every other check in DeepTrawl it's run every time you trawl your site so you can spot if your seo efforts are being wrecked by changes later in the site's life.
This is a completely unique feature – we haven't seen any other tool which handles the on site seo for every keyword and every page in your site. More.
(Much) better html exports
We've upgraded html exports hugely. They're now beautifully rendered in html 5 & css. We've also added branding options – you can now add your own logo, colors and texts making html exports perfect for sharing with clients.
Dependency checks
DeepTrawl has always checked for broken links. In fact for a long time it was known mainly as a link checker. Starting in v4 we've added the dependency check, this does link checking for things like JavaScript, font & iframe imports. Ever seen a page with a broken css import? We bet you have and would wager the page was ugly as hell – now you never have to torture your visitors like this. More.
Better UI
The interface in DeepTrawl is now a lot sexier. We've gone for a cross platform look & feel that works really well on all modern platforms like Windows 7, 8 & OSX Mavericks. Besides looking better the interface now also works better. We've added features like Chrome style reorderable tabs and a new Monitor which pops out from the bottom of the screen, instead of being in a separate window.
Improved filters
DeepTrawl has has filter tabs for a while now – they allow you to see pages with specific errors in a new tab. We've enhanced with two new features:
1) It's now possible to hide all other errors in the filter tab.
2) Filter tabs can now be used to filter by url. This allows you to show only errors in specific parts of your site or even zero in on a single page in the error results.
Check analytics code
Did you remember to put your analytics tracking code in *every* … *single* … *page* in your site? 100% sure? Now DeepTrawl can tell you which pages you've missed.
Try it
There are many more new features and enhancements (actually there are more than twice as many new features and enhancements compared to v4). We suggest you try it out.
Why Google should use plus for rankings – and almost certainly will
Recently there was a bit of a stir caused by Moz.com discovering that there's a correlation between sharing on Google + and the ranking of pages. Their data shows that pages with more shares tend to get higher rankings.
They made the case that Google + is actually something of an seo machine – that each post is like a mini seo'd article. This seemed very odd to us. Google own all that data – they don't actually need to crawl it all with their spider to index it. It's already in a database sitting in one of their data centers. Now – maybe they do just crawl it because everything isn't always as joined up as we might imagine but that seems unlikely. As the article points out, shares on + are indexed way faster than most pages indicating some kind of special sauce.
But, here's the really interesting part: The article explicitly stated that giving a +1 to a page wasn't directly influencing it's ranking. In a response to the article on Hacker News (later appended to the article), Google's own Matt Cutts even took the time to explicitly rule this out:
It is not the +1's themselves that are causing the high rankings of posts but the fact that most +1's on a site result in a shared post on Google+, which creates a followed link back to the post. It's instant organic link building.
This got us thinking… why on earth wouldn't Google use +1's to directly influence page rankings? The obvious answer is that it would be open to manipulation by spammers. That's true, but by all accounts Google's previous most powerful weapon (PageRank) has been demoted in relevance by them because it's being spammed way too much. Generating spammy links is just too easy these days.
The advantage of +1's is that they're tied to your Google account which gives the search giant a lot of really useful details to try and hone in on and ignore the spammers. For example they could:
- Not count any +1's generated in the x days after an account was created
- Discount any by accounts which have +1′d a number of sites deemed to be spammy
- Weight against +1's from non-verified accounts.
That's just a quick though experiment. Given time one could generate hundreds spam-y metrics using the data Google holds about all of us. Hell – I might seriously demote the +1's of anyone who'd Googled phrases like "black hat seo" in the past – ooh – creepy!
But slightly sinister jokes aside – it's clear that this data could help Google create a better search. Even if they aren't using +1's now it's a good bet they will in the future. So, if there weren't enough benefits already installing those +1 buttons is probably a good idea to do it now – you might just see a direct rankings boost from it in the future.
The world's biggest companies have boatloads of broken links
Since we recently released CloudTrawl we decided to undertake some research to prove just how valuable it is. The uptime of major websites and the damage to reputation and profits downtime causes has been written about extensively, so we decided to go a different way. Every web user has seen a broken link; they often make our blood boil & frequently people will leave a site on seeing one assuming the content they're seeking simply doesn't exist. 404 has become the new blue screen of death. Broken links are a real risk to reputation & profit but we've never seen a comprehensive study on just how common they are in major sites.
We decided to undertake that study and to perform it on the group of sites whose owners aren't lacking in resources: the Fortune 500.
The Results
Here's a big figure to open with:
You read that right, 92% of the sites in our sample included at least one broken link & most had several. 68% had more than 10 broken links, 49% had more than 50 and a surprising 43% of Fortune 500 sites have more than 100 broken links.
We also broke down the amount of pages which had broken links against the total amount of pages in each site. A stunning 13% of all pages in Fortune 500 sites have at least one broken link (many pages have several).
What isn't shown in the figures is the importance of some of these links. We saw examples of broken links to annual reports, quarterly statements, social presences (e.g. broken Facebook links) & external + internal news articles. Perhaps most worrying were the unreachable legal notices & terms & conditions documents. Along with making users leave the sites (& possibly making lawyers pass out!) these things are bad for search engine optimization. Google won't be able to find these pages & sites will be penalized.
Our Method
To get a fair cross section of the Fortune 500 we chose 100 companies at random across the set. We entered their names into Google and picked the first US / international result owned by that company. This resulted in a mix of sites. Some were corporate (company news, quarterly statements etc.) and some were online presences for customers (stores & marketing). We rejected any sites which CloudTrawl didn't finish crawling in 5 hours or which contained more than 5,000 pages (these can sometimes spawn loops in page generation and unfairly bias results, search engines also stop crawling sites if they think this is happening).
To eliminate false positives we quality checked results both randomly and where sites contained a high percentage of broken links. To make sure the headline figures weren't biased we only check links (not images) and only checked for 404 & 410 http error codes, ignoring server timeouts etc. as these can sometimes be temporary.
Although there are some big headline figures above, the one that troubles us most is the 13%. Essentially we're saying that more than 1/10 Fortune 500 web pages has a severe bug that's waiting to pop up and grab unsuspecting users.
Next time you see a 404 error you'll at least have the consolation that they're proven to be really common. Of course we do give webmasters the tools to fix these issues – and I think we've presented a decisive demonstration of why they're needed.
Note; feel free to use the infographics in this post; we hereby release them for use on other sites.
OMG; We've Launched!
It's a proud day over at CloudTrawl.com; we just launched the full live service!
We'd loved it if you sign up for the free trial and we're all ears for new feature requests & suggestions.
So, what made it into the first version? CloudTrawl is designed to watch out for stuff that goes wrong on it's own, even if you don't change your site. So for the first version we have:
- Link Checking (we check every page of your site, daily or weekly)
- Uptime Minotoring (we check your site is online every 30 seconds / 24×7)
We also have features like complete history charting, the ability to share site reports and settings with colleagues & customers, very cool looking real time views for uptime checks, the ability to "Start Now" for link checks, image validation and a lot more.
Even this tidy set of features is really just the tip of the iceberg of what's planned for CloudTrawl. The ultimate goal: monitor absolutely everything that could go wrong with your site on it's own; over time we'll be adding more checks and we'd love for you to tell us what extra features and checks you think CloudTrawl should have.
Happy Trawling!
Last bug is fixed!
This is a real development milestone. All of the code for CloudTrawl v1 has been written for a while and we've been focused entirely on testing. Our testing has included a lot of steps:
1. Automated testing; we now have a massive suite of automated tests which can be run at the click of a button
2. Functional testing; making sure every feature works as described and they all hang together well
3. Cross browser testing; making sure the interface works across browsers and operating systems
4. Scale; running up hundreds or thousands of uptime checks and hundreds of link & image checks simultaneously to make sure the system performs well with lots of people using it (if I can think of a way to make this not boring it deserves a blog post all of it's own).
5. Third party testing; we got the guys over at TestLab² to do a barrage of tests to make sure we hadn't missed anything.
And then this evening it finally happened… the last known bug was fixed. So "OMG", it's so nearly time to open the champagne hit the release button. Watch this space!
Will crawling affect your Google Analytics?
This is a question we've been asked a few times. Many users want to know if the hits generated when their pages are checked for broken links will show up in Analytics. The answer for both CloudTrawl and DeepTrawl is no, it won't be a problem. For reasons I've written about previously, both products don't execute the Javascript on your pages. Since Google Analytics relies on Javascript to count page views it has no way of knowing that we've visited a page, so this won't show up.
As a side note, in the next version of DeepTrawl we're planning to implement a way to make sure all of your pages contain analytics tracking code, until then it's relatively easy to do this check yourself using DeepTrawls ability to add your own new checks.

I had terrible problems with my teeth, until Dr. Noveck came to the rescue. Then my dental nightmare evolved into a "Hollywood smile." The crowns and bridgework that Dr. Noveck created for me is so natural looking that no one guesses my front teeth are not my own, or that I have anything but perfect teeth.

I had issues with my teeth and gums since I can remember. I tried never to show my teeth when I smiled. I have to tell you that has changed dramatically. I now wonder if I am not smiling too much, just to show off the beautiful smile I have now, thanks to you. You gave me so many choices as to what I could do, and offered your advice when asked.

Cosmetic dentistry is a subspecialty of dentistry dedicated to enhancing the aesthetics of the smile. Cosmetic dentistry encompasses an extensive array of procedures, such as tooth whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers. Some of the latest advancements of cosmetic dentistry include dental implants and clear orthodontics technologies. Dental implants are sophisticated restorations that allow patients missing one or more teeth restore beautiful, confident smiles without cumbersome dentures. Once integrated in the jaw, dental implants look and function just like real teeth and do not require any special care. Clear orthodontics, also known as Invisalign clear aligner system, is another exciting cosmetic dentistry advancement that allows patients to greatly improve the alignment of their teeth in a convenient, time-efficient manner. By using these and other state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry technologies, cosmetic dentists today can turn even the most worn-our, damaged teeth into a stunning smile.
Additional Cosmetic Enhancement Options
Many cosmetic dentistry New Jersey patients are positively surprised by the amazing aesthetic improvement that can be achieved through procedures such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and dental implants. The beautiful aesthetic transformation often inspires cosmetic dentistry patients to pursue additional elective treatments in New Jersey. For example, individuals desiring to enhance the definition of their body contours sometimes schedule consultations with a NJ plastic surgeon to explore their cosmetic surgery options. Some of the more popular surgical treatments patients request are liposuction, tummy tuck and breast augmentation in New Jersey. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, these procedures can deliver beautiful yet completely natural-looking enhancement results.

This receipe has a nice spice to it. The sauce is a bit hot but is tolderated by someone like myself who doesn't like hot, spicy food. When serving this sauce I have to make 2 versions, 1 hot/spicy and 1 not (do this by simply not adding any hot sauce or cajun seasoning. This recipe has been a HUGE hit with my family and friends and the constantly request me to make it all the time! Adding the tomatoes and lettuce to it makes it just perfect! GREAT recipe!

Leadership Conference 2012 >
Why Attend This Conference?
We know you want compelling content quickly and more time to talk about it and make sense of it. And that's what we offer!
Every session is crammed with valuable, practical information and insights (the Aha!s). There is no "fluff!" We know you want to get good value for your hard earned dollar, and we make sure that happens.
The conference format includes morning and mid-day structured networking to guarantee you a chance to meet everyone you want to meet. Then, of course, you can stay a bit and go to dinner at a local restaurant with a group "chaperoned" by a real New Yorker!
The conference is unique in its focus on promoting health leadership development to people not yet necessarily identified or self-identified as prospective public health leaders. What we do that's different is to provide you with what may be the first forum in which you can recognize your leadership abilities. We demonstrate the myriad of leadership opportunities available now and in the fast-approaching future, encourage you to dare to take on those leadership roles, and give you a list of the training resources available locally.
Throughout the day as you move from session to session, you'll experience a number of exciting and energizing "Aha!s". Our opening speakers, Courageous Leader panelists, roundtable discussion facilitators, and afternoon workshop facilitators are remarkable women and men currently leading important health movements and initiatives...people whose passion, dedication, commitment, achievements, and audacity will touch, maybe shock, and surely inspire you…to dare to lead!
There is so much to do – you can listen, think, network, relax, share, discuss, debate – whatever best fits your needs. There are keynote presentations, a chance to hear from and ask questions of this year's panel of Courageous Leaders, network, and attend workshops. The vibrant Call to Action closing should leave you "chomping at the bit" and ready to move forward and do "your bit" as a leader role model, leader-to-be, or emerging leader.
Though the conference highlights local issues and specifically promotes health leadership challenges in the Greater New York area, the information, insights, and inspiration have universal relevance and applicability. We have attracted – and warmly welcome - participants from other regions, states, and countries!
Participants love this conference. Over 20% come back regularly to learn more about leadership, get the support and encouragement they need to dare to lead, to meet new role model, to be inspired by new courageous leaders' stories, and to see old friends and make new ones. People leave this conference, when they finally tear themselves away, smiling, hugging, and waving – in addition to having exchanged business cards. And, as promised when they come back, they bring colleagues, co-workers, and, best of all, their supervisors.

Take the Bite Out of Raw Onions with This One Simple Step
Tips from The Kitchn
If you love the crunch and flavor of raw red onions on your grilled burgers and leafy green salads, but avoid them for their rather pungent and lingering aftertaste, then this one tip might change your whole summer.
All you need to do is give the sliced onions a good soak in a bowl of water before serving them. This one simple step tames the bite of the raw onions and mellows out their flavor. The sulfur compounds responsible for that harsh "biting" flavor and onion's powerful aftertaste dissipate into the water from the cut surfaces of the onion.
Just peel and slice the red onion as called for in your recipe, then submerge them in a bowl of cold water. Let them sit for at least ten minutes, stirring once or twice, before draining and using them in your recipe.
For added flavor, you can also soak the onions in lime juice, lemon juice, or vinegar. This method also works for other onions and bitter melon.
Have you ever tried this? Any other tips for taming onion's bite?

I've done this and it works great. Raw onions are too harsh for me, but the ice water soak makes them entirely palatable.
I will definitely give this a try.
My usual method is to quick "pickle" them for sandwiches: Thinly slice the onion, pour boiling water over and let stand about 10 seconds, drain, then refrigerate in a half-water/half-vinegar solution with a little salt. Not crispy, but they keep a long time and add a ton of flavor without the onion breath.
I just soak them in lime juice. It takes the evil bite off and tastes great.
I often make lamb burgers and serve them with red onion that's been marinating in balsamic vinegar for 10 minutes. This takes the bite out of the onion, and adds a sweet note to the flavours. Add some feta cheese for a salty touch.
I also rub them with salt before placing them in cold water. Salt works wonders removing the bitterness.
Not only does the soaking tame their bite, but it also gives them an irresistible, crunchy bite. (I add ice to the water too.)
I've been making a lot of Greek salad lately and this is exactly what I do with the rd onions. It works beautifully!
@kathryn, I add ice, too!
Me three on the ice trick! I read that once a long time ago - that it was the trick to good salsa.
I use ice water (a tip from "Joy of Cooking") or sometimes a soak in seasoned rice vinegar (lifted from "Cocktail Food," by Mary Corpening Barber and Sara Corpening Whiteford).
mmm I love red onions. the bite is actually my favorite part, I know, I know it's odd. however I also LOVE to sweat them with lemon juice and salt for 30 minutes or so until the bite is really gone and the red onions start to turn bright pink. then add a little olive oil and red wine vinega to marinate for at least a nother 30 minutes, the longer the better!
divine on salad and burgers! I am also guilty of eating them all by themselves.... :)
Thanks for this post!! I'll definitely try this. White onions rarely bother me but red ones do...I never cook with them anymore for that reason. Maybe now I will :p
I do this all the time, it does work. Most of the time I add a little vinegar and a pinch of sugar too. I will have to try lime juice though, that sounds like it would add a nice flavor.
So, this is a repeat of a post from five years ago, that was also posted a year ago under a different headline? http://www.thekitchn.com/onions-in-salads-soak-them-in-water-first-172984
Running out of content?
I have to try this!! I like the taste, but it stays in my mouth for almost a whole DAY after I eat raw onion... not so great.
And even though this has apparently been posted twice before, and I've been following the Kitchn all that time, I somehow never saw it until now - so thanks!
To Seattlejoe:
There is nothing wro g with reposting articles. New people, who have never heard of doing this, get to learn it. I have never heard it and appreciate the info
white onion chunks soaked in rice vinegar has been a Korean banchan staple for centuries.
If you're using red onion in a salad save yourself a step and simpy marinate the onion in the dressing for 15 minutes before tossing together your salad.
I didn't see this tip five years ago and I'm grateful for it now.
yum. will do this
I'm definitely going to try this! I've also heard that dipping your knife in water when slicing onions helps with the tears ;-)
Oh, I definitely have to do the lime trick for the next time I make fish tacos. That would be so good! Great tip, thanks!
For making Chilean salad (tomato, onion, and parsley), people use these tricks: either submerge the onion in ice water for a few hours or in boiling hot water with sugar. Not only does it take the raw flavor away but it gives the onions a nice, almost feathery feel which is a key part of the salad.
Take the middle out before slicing. Takes the bite out and makes you cry less when slicing.
By soaking the onions you are also washing off the sulfur and quercetin both powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals....I rather have bad breath!!
Soaking in an ice water bath gives them an incredible crunch. For me the best way to prep red onions is a quick pickle. Adds a nice mix of acid and sweetness, while maintaining an awesome crunch.
For a quick pickle it is a simple 4:1:1 ratio. I use 2 red onions, 1 cup of vinegar (usually white, apple cider or balsamic), 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of sugar. I then add a chopped clove of garlic, a few grinds of pepper, a dash of red pepper flakes, and a dash of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the onions and then lower to a simmer for about 10 minutes. Transfer everything to a jar and allow to cool in the fridge. *PRO TIP* :) Add a bit of pickled onions to a pasta salad, the acidity cuts through the richness of a creamy dressing.
Ooh! I'm curious to try this with bittermelon. That stuff is disgusting, but I'd like to know what it tastes like without the superbitter.
Blogs are dynamic media, seattlejo, so no need to feel too smug.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
Let me comment on this post by saying that password length beats
complexity character for character.
So go long and forget complexity. Complexity pisses end users off.
At 15 characters (complex or not), password is uncrackable. Tell normal
users to go 12 character min. (actually 9 and above is pretty good).
Admins should go 15+.
I frequently demo this idea using Cain (www.oxid.it) and its brute force
cracking mode.
If I can get your LM hashes, I can crack your password no matter how
complex. If you go 15 char.+, I'll never crack it, no matter how big
the rainbow tables or how many computers I have.
Linux folks should use bcrypt password hashes to accomplish the same.

Subject: RE: ADS Password Storage Protection
The first couple of Mr. Grimes' suggestions are spot-on, but password
cracking is often not the problem. To understand the threat-vectors for
your ADS passwords you have to understand how they're stored and shared,
which I believe was your original question.
In Active Directory the passwords are actually stored encrypted in
active directory files. As mentioned by Mr. Grimes, this is the
NTDS.DIT file on your Windows ADS Domain Controllers. The passwords are
hashed (a one-way mathematical encryption-style function) using a
combination of the username and password for the user. Again as Mr.
Grimes pointed out, by default Windows stores these using a now-outdated
storage format called Lan Mananger. My methodology differs a bit from
Mr. Grimes here. In my opinion, the quickest increase to your security
is two-fold:
1) Force the use of NTLMv2 (New Technology Lan Manager version 2) as
Mr. Grimes suggested.
2) Force complexity requirements of 8 characters with at least 1
number, one capital letter, and one special character (You will only
give users heartburn by making it more than 8 characters and not
effectively increase your security).
Once you do this, reset everyone's password so they must change it at
their next login (otherwise the LM hash stays).
You don't really need to worry about cracking of passwords, you just
want to make them hard to guess. In order to crack a password, an
attacker needs to export your passwords from NTDS.DIT. Access to do
this requires administrator-level authority on your Windows domain
controllers. If your attacker has admin rights on your domain
controllers you're already compromised.
Second, when a system authenticates it does not send the user's name and
password over the wire. It computes the hash and then sends the hash
over the wire. The server then compares the hash sent from the client
to the one stored in ADS. If it matches the system _assumes_ the
correct username and password was entered at the client. SMB (windows
authentication) clients that inject hash credentials already exist in
the wild. If someone has your password hashes, they don't need to crack
a thing (Google for "pass the hash").
Some additional suggestions on securing your password databases:
1) Turn security logging on! Monitor mass authentication failures!
2) Set the lockout threashold to something higher than 3, like 25... A
human typically remembers 8 things at one time, and will get frustrated
and contact a helpdesk between 8 and 15 tries. If a lockout ever occurs
from 25 attempts, you KNOW an automated brute-force is attacking your
system and not just some poor guy that can't remember which of the 4 or
5 passwords he knows is for that system.
3) Obtain an intrusion detection system and monitor access to NTDS.DIT!
If you need to, run a password dump against your system to obtain a
definition for the attack (but be sure to delete the hash files that
result when you're done).
4) Force your passwords to change often (90 days?) in case you miss
someone exfiltrating your password database or someone uses the same
password that they do for their web accounts.
I welcome a discussion on this topic. I think that authentication
security is one of the most misunderstood topics in computer security

There She is. Its Celeste. Wow shes still stunning. I walk back towards her.
"Hey Celeste," i yell.
But she doesnt hear me.
"Celeste!" she still doesnt hear me.
Where is she going? Who is she kissing? Whos that guy?
I can believe it. Has she completely forgotten about me?
Deans Prov

God i cant wait for tonight. I going to sneak into her dorm and blow her mind, well thats not the only thing thats going to get blown. If you know what i mean ei.
Well its now like midnight, i guess iĺl sneak in now.
Celeste´s room mate is out or state so it will just be me and her, oh yeah and i little, i mean HUGE thing i call dick.
I knock on the door.
Celeste quickly answers it, pulls me towards her and shuts the door.
"did any one see you?" she asks before sucking my lips.
"No..I..dont..think..so" i say in between the kisses.
She starts to un button my shirt. She slides it off and slowly starts working her way down my body. Kissing my neck, My chest, my stomach. As she does so he is undoing my pants while i slide off her top. She slides up to my face and we fall onto the bed. She lands on top of me.
I undo her bra strap. It falls to the ground.
We are one. Our bare chests rubbing.
Sams PROV
Whats happened. I thought we had something.
I dont understand, I havent stopped thinking about her since that lovley night and here she is with my brother.

I cant sleep it just wont work.She keeps comeing into my mind. Her smile. Her Eyes. Her Face and her tears.
I get and go to her dorm. I have to sneak or else i'll get busted and there will be hell to pay.
I see Dean walking out of her corridor. I really hope he wasnt in her dorm.
I knock on the door.
"Sam?" she says with a puzzled look on her face.
"what are you doing here?" she says with a look of confusion.
"Um hey could I please talk to you?" I say trying to rush inside.
"um yeah" she says, her face still looking confussed.
"Could I get you something?" she asks me.
"umm.... no im fine... i mean i came here to talk to you" I say awkwardly.
"ohh" she kind of dully says and walks away.
"Celeste... i really liked you" i state.
Her eyes fill up with tears.
"You really hurt me, I really thought we would of worked" I say calmly holding back the hurt.
"loved ?" celeste says.
"Love" i say taking her hand. " love, I never stoped"
I grab her hand and turn her to face me.
I look in to her beautiful blue eyes. Moving my head in closer to her face i passionately kiss her.
Things start getting intimate. Im not the kind of guy who kisses and tells so i will not be telling this little insert(yes pun intended).
The next day was like the past few years never happened and Celeste and I were back together.
I wait for her after classes.My week is all about her, i just meet her at her classes and and then we go out for dinner. I love her.

The Moonbase DVD Artwork Revealed
Clear some space on the DVD shelf: The Moonbase is finally getting its own DVD release! Sporting some rather gorgeous sleeve artwork from the estimable Lee Binding, The Moonbase looks to be similar in appearance to the 'rebranded' The Enemy of the World and The Web of Fear DVDs, deprived of the usual TARDIS roundels that featured on previous releases, but looking good nonetheless.
This early Cyberman adventure starring Patrick Troughton will feature animated reconstructions in lieu of episodes 1 and 3, with episodes 2 and 4 included in their entirety. There will also be an audio commentary and a making-of featurette.
Here's the official synopsis:
In 2070, Earth's weather is controlled with ease from the Moon. When the TARDIS arrives at the Moonbase, the Doctor, along with his friends Polly, Ben and Jamie, is accused of starting a plague that is killing off the base's crew. It's not long, however, before the time travellers discover the true cause of the deaths – a powerful, unstoppable race that the Doctor has met before: the Cybermen.
Due for release in January 2014, this classic 'base-under-siege' adventure is a welcome edition to the classic series collection. Want to find out more about the menaces from Mondas' second story? Well, Kasterborous has a handy guide…
8 Responses to The Moonbase DVD Artwork Revealed
I assume this DVD will have a reversible cover with the inside one having the TARDIS roundels – as found on earlier releases – as with the latest Spearhead blu-ray and Enemy DVD.
It will be a nuisance if they arbitrarily drop the roundels, it wont fit in with the rest of the set. After all, the latest TARDIS set is a miserable place without them as all the Doctors seem to agree in the anniversary special. For 49 years roundels have been the iconic identifying feature of the TARDIS, so Moffat drops them in favour of: nothing very interesting.
The new design is way more striking than the old ones. Really couldn't care less about them being different to the old ones if the new one is better!
I agree the new covers look fantastic and make the round elder covers look claustrophobic, childish and cheap. I never liked the rounded cover mandate (tho I love the TARDIS rounders in the TARDIS – the museum curator scene walls just scream for inclusion – or was that a hint the museum was the Curators TARDIS?). The DVDs look far better w/o them and more inviting for new viewers to pick up. Certainly having an alternate reversible cover with them for those who do like them is the best approach of all, and should continue. It can't cost much to simply make a version with them overlaying the top of the brilliant and beautiful artwork especially of the past few releases and print it on the back of the main cover insert allowing consistency with those loyal customers with library collections – keep both versions, please the max number of customers therefore maxing sales!
Just wondering where you got the info about it following the same cover style of Enemy and Web from. I know a cover has been doing the rounds but this is fan made (all bar the artwork by Lee.) The image posted on Lees Facebook page is just minus the template.
I'll be surprised if this ends up being outside the roundel template

Just when you thought you were safe from Bandette, writer Paul Tobin got the chance to spill the beans on his experience as a creator behind a series with 4 Eisner nominations.
1. When were you first inspired to make comics and what book set you on the path to becoming a creator?
Love of creation. The feel of making something from nothing. Probably Love & Rockets set me on the path.
2. If you weren't making comics right now, what other occupation would you most like to see yourself in?
Jetpack instructor. Godzilla adviser. Cookie inspector. International thief. Layabout.
3. If you could have dinner with any other comic creator living or dead, who would it be and why?
Alex Schomburg (for those Golden Age covers) or Hugo Pratt, for his amazing life / art.
4. If you could GIVE an Eisner award to another creator working today who would it be and why?
Colleen, because of duh. Or Jeff Parker, for putting joy in comics. Or Jeremy Bastian for Cursed Pirate Girl.
5. If you do win, where are you going to keep the award?
Would it be too gaudy as a necklace?

"Legend Of The Christmas Spider" Ornament Craft Kit. There's no need to be scared. This craft features a helpful spider and a fun holiday story! Learn why we put tinsel on our Christmas tree with "The Legend Of The Christmas Spider": "One Christmas Eve a mother was busily getting her house ready for the arrival of St. Nick. As she swept all the spiders fled to the attic to escape her broom. When all was quiet, the spiders slowly crept downstairs for a peek. "Oh my what a beautiful tree!" the spiders exclaimed. Filled with excitement and joy the spiders scurried up the trunk and out on the branches, among all the twinkling lights and bulbs. By the time they were done the tree was covered in their dusty gray webs. When Santa arrived with the gifts for the children he could see how happy the spiders were but he knew that the mother would be heart broken when she awoke to find her beautiful tree covered in dusty gray webs. So with a wink of his eye and a nod of his head he turned the webs into silver and gold strands. The tree sparkled and glimmered and was even more beautiful than before! This is why we use tinsel on our trees and why every tree should have a Christmas Spider on its' branches." Makes 12. All craft kit pieces are pre-packaged for individual use.
