"I would like to applaud you and your staff for taking such diligent care of my dental care needs. On September 24, 2013, I came into your dental clinic for a routine cleaning. My experience began in the waiting room with absolutely no wait. I was immediately recognized by your receptionist and given the proper paper work to fill out. Upon completion, I was then greeted by your hygienist who proceeded to provide the best cleaning I've ever had! I also enjoyed your thorough examination and recommendations for continued dental health. I look forward to seeing you (and your staff) 6 months from now for my next routine cleaning. In the meantime, I will continue to tell my friends and family about the pleasurable experience I had. Thank you!Michael L. Kieffer, Kieffer Capital
"Going to the dentist is on my list of 10 things I absolutely dread doing. I'd been going to the same dentist as my family since I was young, so when the opportunity to find a new dentist arose, I took the time to find someone I wouldn't resist going to regularly. The entire experience of visiting Dr. Andrea Diamond resonates of comfort and knowledge. Beyond the obvious dentist talk – Dr. Diamond is able to provide candid advice for the proper care of my teeth. The office staff is always very helpful and the technicians are careful and gentle. I would highly recommend Dr. Diamond's service to anyone looking for a quality dentist – for themselves and for their family."Ivan Mladenovic, Preemo
"Dr. Andrea Diamond, I would like to thank you for my recent dental treatment. You were all aware I was extremely nervous at my first visit, but you made me feel very welcome and I knew that I was in good hands. I am really pleased with my new smile! "Alberto Llano, Del Sur

There was a time when insurance was purchased by clients to protect themselves from disasters, misfortune, and catastrophe from nature, accidents and irresponsibility. But insurance has evolved and expanded over the years due to the fact that, society has become extremely litigious.
People will sue for the craziest things, and often businesses and employers are targeted from their own employees. Whether the circumstances are due to a rise in unemployment, companies down-sizing, a struggling economy or the belief that "I am not hurting the business, because the insurance company pays," employee suits against business owners have risen dramatically over the last 10 years with an increase of over 13%.
And although all the lawyers that I deal with personally and professionally are responsible and conscientious, there are those that know all about liability and how to work the insurance system for financial gain.
In the last few years, I have heard numerous stories of "my employees are like my family;" "I didn't know it was considered "offensive;" and "But this is the way our office always behaved," that turned into filings with he Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Many times there was no ill-will or offense meant. All intentions were good and honorable, but you never know how staff may interpret your interactions.
Any prospective, current or ex-employee can file a "Charge of Discrimination" with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The most common types of filings include the following categories:
One a complaint is filed with the E.E.O.C. the commission will begin an investigation into the charges filed. Companies must hire lawyers, build a defense, rebuttal the charges, supply the E.E.O.C. with extensive documentation and evidence. The link below provides business with an overview of how the entire process unfolds
But as a small business owner, you do have protection, before any actions against you or your company occur: Employee Practices Liability Insurance. EPLI covers businesses against claims by workers that their legal rights as employees of the company have been violated.
I strongly suggest to every small business owner that he look into E.P.L.I. It is a policy hopefully you will never need to use, but often not having it can do incredible damage to your finances, your reputation and your state of mind.

Shower Cost
Who doesn't love taking hot showers? Hardly anyone we'd guess. Except being a fantastic way to relax after (or ahead of) a long day, taking a long shower also means a huge loss of water and energy used to heat it up. We're not going to explore environmental effects here but they're certainly not very positive either.
According to statistics showers account for third largest water use in a household, after toilets and clothes washers (and the latter ones sometimes get overtaken by showers too). We believe the first step in limiting our water usage starts with awareness and this is exactly what this tool will help you with. We based the calculations on the most popular electricity-powered water heaters and ran the equations around our office. Most people were surprised how much money they could be wasting this way. Will they limit their shower time or choose to take it less frequently? We should hope so.
Now, back to you. To give you the most accurate estimations we will need several details from you. First of all, tell us how many people live in your household, how many showers they take on average and what's the average duration of each. Based on your location we'll try to grab the latest prices of water and energy in your area and will use it to calculate the costs. Last thing is shower flow rate so the amount of water that's pushed through shower head every minute. We set a default value already but feel free to edit it depending on your shower head. If you're not aware of this metric you're probably good to go with what we set, unless you use some super-efficient or ancient technology to power your shower.
Based on these numbers the tool will tell you how much a single shower costs and how much you could be spending per month or year. Sounds like a lot of money? Feel free to play with the numbers, lower the duration by just a minute and see how it will affect the results. Research some water-saving shower heads and see how they would affect your spendings. And maybe consider limiting your washes to just one per day for starters? Options are countless and the tool will update automatically with every change. On top of water and energy costs you'll most likely also pay for savage and the exact amount will be dependent on the water used. We didn't take this factor into consideration in this tool due to differences in calculating the costs around the world. Keep those in mind too though and they will make every minute of your shower even more expensive!

and the Glycemic Index
The smaller the number, the less impact the food has on your blood sugar.
Look for the glycemic index on the labels of packaged foods. You can also find glycemic index lists for common foods on the Internet. Harvard University has one with more than 100. Or ask your dietitian or nutrition counselor.
Foods that are close to how they're found in nature tend to have a lower glycemic index than refined and processed foods.
Most beneficial: Low GI
Note from Four Winds Nutrition: If you have a blood sugar issue try anyone of these two formulas and add GTF Chromium.
Medium Gi
36 - 50
Low GI
35 and lower
Why Is GI Important?
Over the past 15 years, low-GI diets have been associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, stroke, depression, chronic kidney disease, formation of gall stones, neural tube defects, formation of uterine fibroids, and cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, and pancreas.
Excerpts from WebMD
The glycemic index gives you a way to tell slower-acting "good carbs" from the faster "bad carbs." You can use it to fine-tune your carb-counting and help keep your blood sugar more steady.
Glycemic Index Can Change
That number is a starting point on paper. It could be different on your plate, depending on several things.
Preparation. Fat, fiber, and acid (such as lemon juice or vinegar) lower the glycemic index. The longer you cook starches like pasta, the higher their glycemic index will be.
Ripeness. The glycemic index of fruits like bananas goes up as they ripen.
Other foods eaten at the same time. Bring down the overall glycemic index of a meal by combining a high-glycemic index food with foods that have lower ones.
Your age, how active you are, and how fast you digest food also affect how your body reacts to carbs. If you have a diabetes complication called gastroparesis, which delays your stomach from emptying, your body will absorb food much more slowly.

Verizon and T-Mobile don't give access to the new update; Nokia looks for ways to make up for it
Bad news for all the owners of Lumia 810 or 822 who have subscribed to the Verizon or T-Mobile network; it is being reported that the Lumia Black firmware update isn't going to reach the users anytime soon. Apparently Nokia has already completed this new update and it was all set to go until the carriers decided not to push the update towards the users.
All this information has been gathered from a conversation with the Nokia's Customer support and further clarification has been made to this point. The carrier Verizon is only listing the update as Coming Soon and is not directly conveying to the customers what it has in mind. This Coming Soon tag is only being used to avoid arguments with angry users. We can't think of any reason why a finished update is not being released. Some might think that the update release has something to do with fulfilling the carrier's approval process. Nothing can be said about what is going to happen and it clearly looks like we will have to wait for the official release of the Windows Phone 8.1 in April. Till then we have to keep the question on a hold that whether these two models of Lumia will be stuck on Amber.
April is going to be a long wait and there are some angry customers after all and to make up for this, Nokia has been distributing a free Purity Pro headset for the users who are having Bluetooth issues on their Lumia 810 or 822.

How to get to Cornwall
By car
A30 trunk road • Northern route • A38
There are three main routes into Cornwall:
A30 trunk road
The A30 trunk road running down the centre of the county after leaving the M5 motorway at Junction 31 near Exeter. It runs to the north of Dartmoor before bypassing Okehampton. The road enters Cornwall near Launceston and runs west to Penzance, with roundabouts serving all the major towns of Cornwall.
Northern route
The northern route, along the A39 Atlantic Highway from North Devon crossing into Cornwall to the north of Bude, runs along the north coast of Cornwall before passing Wadebridge and Padstow. The A3058 leads off to Newquay at Trekenning roundabout before the road joins the A30 at Highgate Hill. The A39 continues south towards Truro at Trispen before making its way to Falmouth on the south coast at the Arch Hill roundabout.
The A38 is accessed at the western end of the M5 motorway at Junction 31 near Exeter, running to the south of Dartmoor before entering Plymouth and making its way to Bodmin via Saltash skirting Liskeard and Lostwithiel and running through the picturesque Glynn Valley before joining the A30 at Carminow Cross on the outskirts of Bodmin.
By train
Trains leave London Paddington daily at regular intervals for Penzance, with very convenient interchanges at Reading and Taunton. One of the most romantic ways to travel is by sleeper.
You can purchase rail tickets online at thetrainline.com.
Please remember that, if booking in advance, two single tickets are often a lot cheaper than a return ticket!
Public transport
Find your bus timetable here, offering comprehensive bus travel throughout Cornwall.
By coach
National Express offer a comprehensive coach link service to destinations such as Newquay, St Agnes, St Austell, Truro, Penzance and other popular locations.
By air
- There are regular flights from London Gatwick to Newquay.
- Loganair, Scotland's Airline, and a franchise partner with Flybe runs non-stop services between Glasgow and Newquay Cornwall Airport.
- Head further west to the wonderful sub-tropical Isles of Scilly via Skybus - from Newquay Cornwall Airport and Land's End
- Slightly further afield Flybe fly to a range of UK and European destinations from Exeter International Airport.

Dublin Port Company has launched an open call to artist and arts projects to create original work to breathe new life into the Port. They are looking to create a series of innovative public artworks and installations as part of their new project 'Port Perspectives'.
With these new artworks they hope to enhance the space and the local areas around Dublin Port drawing in an audience, heightening the experience of port visitors and creating a living exhibition and cultural trail.
In recent years Dublin Port has increasingly interacting with the arts world. Projects such as the recently successful Starboard Home an album inspired by the relationship between the port, the river and the city has provided powerful means to tell the story of Dublin Port and renew its historic link between it and the city.
Eamonn O Reilly, Chief Executive of Dublin Port says: "One of the challenges for Dublin Port is to create stronger links between the Port and the City, and through the arts we are working to achieve that. With Port Perspectives we want to bring the port and surrounding areas to life, using new and original artworks that inspire, engage and tell the story of Dublin Port to audiences far and wide."
"This is a project that celebrates both the visual arts and built environment where we live and work, and one that will greatly enhance the quality of the public realm at the port. I look forward to seeing how artists respond to the brief and working with them on this exciting new initiative."
Dublin Port are opening the call to all artists in the areas of visual Arts and film. Proposal may be made for temporary and permanent artworks and a number of locations have been selected to display these works including Poolbeg Lighthouse, the Half Moon Battery, Dublin Port Company's Headquarters and the North Quay Extension close to the East Link Bridge.
The deadline for applications is 10th October and artist can find more information on the Business to Arts website, who are managing the project.

|Orange orbs, lights in the night sky again
We were out closing the gate again, and we went to have a look in the Sky to see if we could see anything, as we have so far filmed these lights on three different occasions - then I spotted a light and yes it was the same kind of pulsating light and very brilliant.
I was outside with my husband and Son, we all saw it, as I carried on filming a second one appeared further East to the left of the light I was filming. Gradually the first light faded out. Then to the right appeared two more lights in the sky, very similar to the two we watched on the 15th of October.
As we filmed we noticed a third light coming across very fast from the south, one of the two lights started to dim a little and move, then this one coming in from the south crossed right in front of it.
On closer inspection of the footage filmed it looks like it was chasing the other light. Just an incredible night. Will send Video and photos.

Finding a room mate
Finding a roommate can be a very difficult task. Sometimes you'll feel like absolutely no one wants to apply to be your roommate, and at other times it'll feel like you're being bombarded with requests by people asking you to let them be your roommate. However, you need to know exactly how to find the right roommate. The right roommate will be like your best friend in many ways, and will perhaps become your confidant and trustworthy friend to whom you'll go to whenever something is bothering you. You can always count on a good roommate to always be there for you when things seem down for you. Everyone who has seen the TV series friends knows exactly what this means.
On the other hand, when you end up with a roommate who doesn't appreciate living with you too much, or is completely different from you, thing might not be so smooth. There will be fights all the time if you end up with a roommate that doesn't like dealing with things like an adult. There have been some really horrifying stories of weird roommates in the past, and you don't want to have your next few months be anything close to those stories. Imagine a roommate banging on your door at 5:00 AM in the morning, or messing up all your belongings and throwing them outside the window. If you don't want to end up like that, then you'll be better off following a few tips that might save you from the most horrible potential roommates out there and can perhaps land you with someone that you'll enjoy staying with.
Make a list
Once you get the flow of potential roommates flowing, you really want to start making a list. Once you meet the potential roommates, you should give them an honest rating out of 10. Remember that while first impressions are important, they aren't everything. Some people who feel like they are nice people on the first meeting could turn out to be complete maniacs, and people who don't have the most impressive first meeting could be nice, down to earth people that you might like a lot in the future. Therefore, you should make a list, but not let it dominate your final decision of who your roommate should be.
Get to know roommates before you let them in
Before you agree on a specific person to be your roommate, you should get to know them first. Have a few coffees with them and get to know their likes and dislikes. These details could eventually make all the difference.
Get someone you already know
This might be unlikely, but if there is a person who you've known for a while looking for a place to stay, you should consider them as you already know what kind of a person they are. That being said, if they don't have a good personality, then you should stay away from them.

How to tell good stories in PR, and why it matters

This delightful memoir had me hooked from the first page. Who would have ever thought the mandolin could be so enchanting? Well, it is. And so is author Frances Taylor. A natural writer as well as musician, Taylor describes in rich and vivid detail the years she traveled from the UK to Italy to study under the tutelage of Maestro Ugo Orlandi. Her innocence and then maturity as both a traveler and a musician is honest and heart-warming. The strength and determination at which she accomplishes her musical goals serve as a model to others. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and took my time near the end because I didn't want it to end!

Shea Moisture Misses the Point
I'm convinced these brands will never learn to not exclude black people through their marketing. It's actually getting ridiculous at this point. It's like brands sit around and find the most exclusive ways to launch a campaign - even if black people make up so much of the audience. Shea Moisture - I guess it … Continue reading Shea Moisture Misses the Point
The first thing I learned in ECON 101 was opportunity cost, essentially the value of the next best alternative. The opportunity cost of doing one thing is the value (monetary or enjoyment) of what you gave up. Thus, you make a sacrifice to do one activity over another. We sacrifice everyday. We are constantly choosing … Continue reading Sacrifice

British rockers COLDPLAY refused to speak to one another before they began work
on their new album – because they'd fallen out with each other.
Frontman Chris Martin admits he and his bandmates were at a stalemate when
they started to work on Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends in 2006.
But the four musicians managed to enlist the help of superproducer Brian Eno,
who Martin credits with helping to get their sound – and relationships – back
on track.
He says, "The place we got to two years ago felt dirty. We weren't speaking.
We all had our corner office in a tower block, but there was no vibe.
"We had to get our own place and then call Brian in. We decided to play in a
little room, forget our awards and reviews."

InstaFamous: [adjective] to be famous and have thousands upon thousands of followers on Instagram. Some might say this isn't a real thing, but it's hard to argue with numbers—especially when they reach the millions. In relation to the beauty industry, social media (and Instagram, specifically) has largely democratized the space and made it that much easier for up-and-coming brands to build an audience and tell their stories. Today, we're shining the light on some niche #InstaFamous beauty brands that blew up on Instagram and used the platform to bring their brand to the next level.
Warning: may cause strong urge to buy alllll the makeup.
Keep scrolling for nine Instagram-famous beauty brands!
Followers: 1.6M
There's something about L.A.-based makeup brand ColourPop's brightly colored shadows, silky blushes, and velvet lip colors that cause the strong urge to double-tap. We're fans of the brand's marshmallow-scentedLippie Stix ($5) and have currently been using every single product in its #Squad collection with makeup artist Jamie Greenberg (the Matte Blush, $8, in New Lowes is stunning on all skin tones). The best part? Everything is so wallet-friendly.
Followers: 1.2M
It's hard to deny the pull of adorable packaging—especially when said packaging is a lipstick that comes in the form of a pink-and-white pill. The brand's Pretty Poison has legions of InstaFans, all swearing by the color payoff and smooth consistency. The brand is also launching its first Liquid Lip Color, a creamy matte mauve with gold sparkles that "shine brighter as the formula sets." (Check it out here.)
Followers: 1M
Gerard Cosmetics promises products that are "never trendy," but rather reflective of timeless beauty ideals. The cruelty-free line boasts creamy and matte lip colors in every color of the rainbow, although reds, violets, and taupey nudes seem to be the brand's signature.
Followers: 88.5K
The first thing you'll notice about Hot Makeup is the exquisite rose-gold packaging, which will look right at home among your Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks and Tom Ford eye-shadow palettes. The second thing you'll notice is that the inside reflects the outside—the formulas feel high-end, with silky powders and pigmented lipsticks, but they all ring in at a more-than-reasonable price point. Our favorites? The inky volumizing mascaras.
Followers: 445K
We first heard about this indie lipstick line when it launched a line of Harry Potter–inspired lipsticks that subsequently set the Internet in a frenzy. (It promptly sold out—Muggles loves their lipsticks.) Luckily, you can still get your hands on the brand's vast collection of liquid lipsticks (called Lip Couture) in every color of the rainbow.
Followers: 855K
L.A. Girl took off on Instagram with a pro-inspired line of products that tout HD Concealer ($5) and Velvet Contour Sticks ($5). Fans of NYX or NYC Cosmetics will love this affordable cruelty-free line—and find plenty of makeup inspiration on the L.A. Girl Instagram page.
Followers: 1M
Remember MySpace? Once upon a time, there was such a thing as a MySpace celebrity—and Jeffree Star was one, and then some. The glam-rock model, personality, and makeup icon launched a namesake line of products, much to the delight of his legions of followers. Standouts include the Velour Liquid Lipstick ($18), which doesn't discriminate when it comes to shades: You'll find baby blue, forest green, and black at home with baby pinks and nudes.
Followers: 1.5M
When two celebrity makeup artists (one of whom used to work with Rihanna) launch a line of lip colors, you can expect two things: high-pigment color and a long-lasting formula. Melt's cult lippies coat your lips in vibrant color in one sweep and leave an ultra-matte finish—just look to the company's Instagram as proof.
Followers: 2.1M
A quick scroll through Morphe's Instagram will yield plenty of poreless, perfectly sculpted faces—all achieved using the brand's freak-out–worthy line of brushes. Followers love the brushes for the quality, variety, and price tag—most ring in at under $15, with some in the $3 range.
Have you heard of or tried any of these lines? Sound off below!

One of my most precious momentos from our time with Mila are her hand and footprints, I have created a variety of things using her handprints, such as these ornaments, but I really wanted to be able to have colour versions of her handprints.
This tutorial uses wiidely available basic software and is intended as a guide for those who do not have the relevant experience to use Photoshop, Illustrator or similar software. There are no doubt many other ways of altering the colour of your child's black and white handprint, if you know someone who is a graphic designer they may be able to help you do this in a different way. I use Firefox as my browser, and Windows operating system; this uses the website StencilGram (version as at 18 June 2015).
Follow these simple steps to alter the colour of your child's handprint ...
1. Scan handprint to your computer.
2. Open scanned image and crop as required. Cropping away excess background helps us to more accurately size the handprint later on.
3. Open web browser and navigate to http://stencilgram.com/
4. Click 'Upload an image to begin' button. Find and select your scanned (cropped) handprint image. It may take a minute or so for the site to process your image.
5. Edit your image as required:
|Use these controls to alter colour and balance
- Click on 'Foreground' to select a different colour.
- Click on 'Background' to alter the background colour
- Click on 'Border' to alter the border colour. If you don't want a border, set the Border colour to white (or the same as the background colour).
- Slide the 'Balance' slider left or right to adjust the 'stencil'. For Mila's handprint, I moved the Balance slider about ¾ of the way to the right.
- Slide the 'Border' slider to the right to widen the border.
6. When you are happy with the image, click the 'Push to Finalize!' button.
7. To save a copy of the image on your computer, click the 'View/Download Full Size' button. This will display the finalized image in a new tab. Right click on the finalized image, and select 'Save image as…' to save a copy of the image onto your computer.
Before printing and using your image, you may need to adjust the size of it – I do this in Microsoft Word as follows:
1. Open new Word file.
2. Select Insert | Picture. Find and select the image you created on the Stencilgram website
3. Once inserted into your document, right click on the image. Select 'Size …'

With interest rates likely to remain low, some homeowners
see borrowed cash as a means to kick-start a major home
improvement. Yet many critics blame easy credit as the cause
of unreasonable consumer debt. If you're thinking of securing
a loan to improve your home – even at a very low interest
rate – you should consider the following advice to ensure
you do not put yourself at unreasonable financial risk:
• Do not rely on renovations to immediately improve the
resale value of your home.
• Look into alternative means of financing, so that you do not
use your home as collateral for a renovation loan.
• Budget the pace of your payments to contractors,
keeping track of progress (including performance
guarantees and contract obligations) so that you are
not paying out borrowed money for work that is not
yet completed.

Women's Winter Bible Study
Every Thursday until April 10, 2014
9:00am – 11:00pm
Location: 6170 Irwin Simpson Road, Mason, OH 45040Category: NorthCincy Women
The deepest need of every person is to know God. Not just to know about Him, but to know Him as your personal Creator, Redeemer, Judge and Friend. Paul prays in Ephesians 1:17 "that God...may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him."
Do you know God? Really know Him? Are you growing in your knowledge of God? J.I. Packer's Knowing God, has been instrumental in the lives of Christians for over 30 years. It is recommended reading by some of our most gifted pastors, from John Piper to R.C. Sproul, by gifted authors and teachers like Elizabeth Elliot and Kay Arthur and is considered to be one of the top Christian classics of all time. As Billy Graham says "Dr. Packer has the rare ability to deal with the profound and basic spiritual truths in a practical and highly readable way."

Avoid Ransomware Attacks with Cisco Security Training
On May 12th, 2017 a world-wide ransomware attack, appropriately named WannaCry, infected hundreds of thousands of vulnerable targets, including hospitals, schools, law enforcement agencies, and small businesses. Organizations still using older Windows operating systems were targeted, as the ransomware quickly spread through networked computers in over 150 countries.
Where Did WannaCry Come From?
On April 14th, 2017 the hacktivist group, The Shadow Brokers, tweeted a link to a Steemit article, providing instructions for accessing stolen NSA tools. Among these was a tool called ETERNALBLUE, which was recently used to create the WannaCry strain of ransomware. This ransomware tool exploits vulnerabilities found in Windows XP, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2003.
Microsoft's Response
"We have seen vulnerabilities stored by the CIA show up on WikiLeaks, and now this vulnerability stolen from the NSA has affected customers around the world. Repeatedly, exploits in the hands of governments have leaked into the public domain and caused widespread damage," remarked Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer, Brad Smith.
Protect Your Organization with Cisco Training
While the recent ransomware attack came from a 10-year-old technology and could've been prevented with a simple update, future attacks will certainly become more sophisticated. Protecting your organization's most valuable assets requires more than just equipment upgrades; it requires expert supervision that only comes from a highly-trained staff.
"Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption and secure access devices, and it's money wasted, because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain." – Kevin Mitnick
Cisco Security training provides a host of critical skills your network team needs to thoroughly protect your organization from ransomware and more. Protecting complex infrastructures goes far beyond malware awareness. Cyber threats come in all forms and Cisco Security provides a comprehensive approach to protecting your network.
Cisco offers associate, professional and expert-level certifications in network security. These include:
CCNA – Cisco Certified Network Associate
CCNP – Cisco Certified Network Professional
CCIE – Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert
CCNA Security
The CCNA Security validates an associate-level of skill required for providing support on complex Cisco networks. This includes the ability to create a security infrastructure, identify threats, recognize vulnerabilities, and mitigate security issues. Students also learn to install, troubleshoot and manage networks and devices. Achieving the CCNA Security requires the successful completion of two exams and previous networking experience is recommended.
CCNP Security
The CCNP is a highly-respected security certification, because it validates the ability to lead security teams or work independently on complex infrastructures. This certification takes a deeper dive into the subjects learned at the associate level and challenges students to learn how to secure large networks. Achieving the CCNP Security requires four additional exams beyond the CCNA. Certification prerequisites are any CCIE or the CCNA Security.
CCIE Security
The CCIE is the highest level a Cisco Security practitioner can achieve and validates an expert-level of knowledge and experience. The CCIE program recognizes Cisco practitioners' ability to design, implement, troubleshoot, and manage all Cisco Security technologies and solutions, while using best practices to secure modern infrastructures. Achieving this certification requires an existing CCNP Security and passing both a written and lab exam.
Summing It Up
Although ransomware continues to wreak havoc throughout the world, Cisco provides security solutions to help IT departments defend their most valuable assets. Whether the focus is certification or product knowledge, Cisco Security training provides a blanket of protection, unmatched by equipment alone.
"If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked. What's more, you deserve to be hacked." — White House Cybersecurity Advisor, Richard Clarke

As you can see, I made it to Whitehorse, Yukon! Yes, that's still in Canada. Look on a full sized picture of the country, and look at the NW corner of it. No, not Alaska, that's part of the States; the triangle bit of land beside it to the east. That's where I live now!
|Here I am, about to leave on my epic road trip. Aw dear Tommy (my hot little car). Poor guy was loaded to the roof.
|Oh hey, is that a thread rack in the back window?
So I went from the prairies...
...to the mountains...
...and I can't think of a better way to fall in love with your new home than to drive to it. The change in landscape was amazing to see, especially for a prairie girl unaccustomed to things like 'topography'.
And I haven't done a stitch of sewing since arriving. In fact, my sewing machine is still wedged between the front and back seats in Tommy. There's just so much to do outdoors here (never mind all the hassle of switching over my car insurance, licence, bills, and you know, finding a job and all), and there's not much summer to enjoy doing it in. This means that sewing and crafting projects will probably be a bit on the light side from me until the weather turns.
Which, admittedly, probably won't be that long.
Anyways, I have managed to get my patterns and fabric unpacked and put away. And look, my fabric is put away NEATLY and FOLDED! Poor fabric are probably in shock, this is the first time ever that they've been put away tidily!
|Wovens and a bin of tools (with interfacing and some plastic on top).
|All sorts of wovens, with my small collection of knits at the back on the left. Wow, prooves how much I don't work with knits.
|Pile of vintage sheets, to be made into a blanket for my bed at some unknown distance future. Maybe.
Hey, I said they were folded and neat, I didn't say organized. Yep, there's silk mixed in with polyester and cotton and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't identify. Not even the denim is bunched together. WHATEVER IT'S TIDY.
Patterns, pretty much how they were at my apartment, except facing the other direction. I reused my sorting tags by folding them over, and I love this so much more! You can actually see what section is which, and how many patterns are in that section. Boy do I ever have a lot of dress patterns for a girl who doesn't make them that often.
And a shelf for my sewing books (plus an iron and oversized patterns).
The biggest problem I'm going to face when I do start sewing again is that I don't really have any room. This is all in my bedroom, and it's not a big space. I have no where to lay out and cut patterns and fabric, and no space for an ironing board. I'm going to have to get extremely creative to come up with solutions. Suggestions more than welcome!
Oh, I did check out the local thrift story, a Salvation Army. Uh, it's less than stellar, but...it had 6 DRAWERS dedicated to sewing patterns! I only allowed myself two patterns, a sweater pattern that I'm sort of in love with (hey I'm in the Yukon now, I need warm clothes!), and blouse pattern that I've been on the watch for ever since Forrest from Presser Foot Propaganda made up her version of it! YAY!
Thanks for your patience, and I hope you'll forgive me for my (former and probably ongoing) absense. I'll be back sewing in no time! In the mean time, don't be surprised if you get a comment or two on some old posts. I'm catching up!

Invasion USAD: Alfred Green (1963) with Dan O`Herlihy, Noel Neill, Edward G. Robinson, Jr., Phyllis Coates
AUGUST 18, 1997: Several lushes are holding down barstools in mid-afternoon and listening to dire news about the Commies on a newfangled television device, when a mysterious stranger makes them watch while he sloshes brandy around in a snifter. Next thing you know, the news gets a lot worse, with the Russkies invading the West Coast with paratroopers, A-bombing New York, Boulder Dam, and a shipyard, while the U.S. military feebly fights back. (Modern-day audiences should enjoy the scenes of Congress members being machine gunned by Soviet troops.) But wait, it wasn't real! The mysterious fella hypnotized them all with the swirling booze! The lounge lizards clamp their fedoras on their blunt heads, straighten their ties, and leave sober as judges, full to the gills of scotch and new resolve on how they can all help make the U.S. a safer place. Apparently the filmmakers thought WWIII would look a lot like WWII, since about one-third of this film is made up of WWII and Korea newsreel stock. Even the post-nuke NYC is footage of London after the 1940 blitz. They even go so far as having the Russian officers look and sound like Nazis (cutting a few corners on costumes). Keep an eye out for both of TV's Lois Lanes (Phyllis Coates and Noel Neill) and Peggie Castle. Also, see if you can figure out which actor is Edward G. Robinson, Jr. (I couldn't). File under cold-war hysteria exploitation quickies, but remember that in '53 buying a bottle of vodka was enough to get you hauled in front of Joe McCarthy as a pinko commie symp. And no, don't confuse this with the Reagan-era film by the same name in which hero Chuck Norris single-handedly repels the Red Menace.

Davy Boyle, The Caring Caretaker, will continue his sit out this week.
The annual sit out began last Monday, and so far things have been going well for Davy and his volunteers.
The sit out will continue right up until Christmas Eve, so there's plenty of time to put a donation in Davy's churn, and support his charities - Willies Orphan Fund, The Children to Lapland Trust, The Robinson Hospital, Children's Heartbeat Trust, Autism Causeway Coast Branch and the Meningitis Research Foundation.
"It's been going well," said Davy.
"The weather has been tricky at times, but I just want to thank all those that have supported me so far."
To date this year Davy has raised £11,000.
Keep up the good work folks!

Is Marvel Returning to Old Numbering After SECRET EMPIRE?
Marvel Comics had made it clear over the last several months during retailer events and public announcements that after Secret Empire they'll be reemphasizing their core, classic characters. Could that also include the decades-long numbering system that publisher has more-or-less abandoned over the last decade for frequent series relauches?
According to a brief report at The Beat, it sounds like that may be on the table.
Marvel Comics reportedly spoke with retailers about "the legacy numbering returning post-Secret Empire." This occured during a closed-door meeting with retailers Thursday at Diamond Comics Distributors' Retailer Summit.
If Marvel returns titles to their original numbering in some form, it would follow in the footsteps of Venom - a new ongoing launched in January 2017, which will jump to #150 in May and continue with #151 in June and #152 in July. Previously, Marvel had reverted to so-called 'legacy' numbering for special issues of certain titles like Uncanny X-Men and She-Hulk, but reverted back its previous, lower numbering after one issue.
DC Comics' two longest-running titles, Detective Comics and Action Comics, reverted back to their original pre-New 52 numbering in June 2016 as part of "Rebirth," and both are within a few years of reaching issue #1000.
Marvel could not be reached for comment.

Media Responsibility
August 30, 2005
At the time of the Los Angeles riots, I wrote a piece for the May 3, 1992 Los Angeles Times titled "When Television Throws a Riot." It isn't available in the online archives, but the thrust of it was that televsion coverage can and does communicate invitations to lawlessness which are acted on by people who realize that there is no threat of police arriving and arrest.
This same dynamic seems to be taking over in New Orleans right now, and even though very few folks are watching television with the power out, news still travels instantly, and television producers have got to discipline themselves to refuse to broadcast pictures of and locations of looting, especially in the areas outside of New Orleans. The government cannot enforce such a ban, but it is very much in the interest of the people in the devastated region these media outlets purport to serve to downplay civil unrest. The national shows also need to avoid throwing fuel on the fire. If you want more civil unrest, broadcast pictures of civil unrest and the cell phones and blackberries will do the rest.the rest @ Hugh Hewitt

Peace Corps Volunteers in the Philippines have become more security conscious following the killing early this year of Julia Campbell
We do take safety and security of our volunteers very seriously," US Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney told reporters during her visit to outgoing National Police chief Director General Oscar Calderon and his successor, Deputy Director General Oscar Calderon at Camp Crame. According to Kenney, there are more or less 200 peace corps volunteers in the country at any time. All "feel safe" working in various communities, she said. Peace Corps Volunteer Julia Campbell, reported missing after hiking in Ifugao, was found dead April 18, 2007. Kenney said that in her talk with Calderon, she praised the latter for the PNP's efforts in solving the case of Campbell and for "their extraordinary compassion to our volunteers and to all of us at a time that was devastating for Americans and the Peace Corps volunteers." "I'm actually looking forward to getting up to Banaue myself at some point because I wanna thank the police up there, the local citizens who helped us look for Julia Campbell, have a chance to see for myself the extraordinary beauty, and have a chance to see all the projects of the peace corps, USAID," Kenney said.

Envoy: Peace Corps men more security conscious
Members of the US Peace Corps in the Philippines have become more security conscious following the killing early this year of Julia Campbell in Ifugao province.
This, even as the number of volunteers have not dwindled due to the gruesome incident, said US Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney on Wednesday.
"We do take safety and security of our volunteers very seriously," Kenney told reporters during her visit to outgoing National Police chief Director General Oscar Calderon and his successor, Deputy Director General Oscar Calderon at Camp Crame.
According to Kenney, there are more or less 200 peace corps volunteers in the country at any time. All "feel safe" working in various communities, she said.
The volunteers, based on a statement posted at the US Embassy website, are spread in the regions of Cordillera, Ilocos, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol, Central and Eastern Visayas.
"I visited two of them in Ilocos Norte on Thursday and Friday. They traveled with me for two days to visit schools and they love their work, they love being here," Kenney said.
Kenney said that in her talk with Calderon, she praised the latter for the PNP's efforts in solving the case of Campbell and for "their extraordinary compassion to our volunteers and to all of us at a time that was devastating for Americans and the Peace Corps volunteers."
"I'm actually looking forward to getting up to Banaue myself at some point because I wanna thank the police up there, the local citizens who helped us look for Julia Campbell, have a chance to see for myself the extraordinary beauty, and have a chance to see all the projects of the peace corps, USAID," Kenney said.
Campbell was initially reported as missing when she went on a hike in Banaue in April. A few days later, she was found dead. The suspect was identified as Juan Donald Duntugan, 25, who claimed to have mistook Campbell as his long-time enemy who was following him on the night of April 8.
Duntugan is now in jail and undergoing trial before a local court for the crime of murder. - GMANews.TV

Read PCOL's executive summary of Senator Chris Dodd's hearings on July 25 on the Peace Corps Volunteer Empowerment Act and why Peace Corps Director Ron Tschetter does not believe the bill would contribute to an improved Peace Corps while four other RPCV witnesses do. Highlights of the hearings included Dodd's questioning of Tschetter on political meetings at Peace Corps Headquarters and the Inspector General's testimony on the re-opening of the Walter Poirier III investigation.
What is the greatest threat facing us now?
"People will say it's terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they change us? No. Only we can change ourselves. So what is the great threat we are facing? I would approach this differently, in almost Marshall-like terms. What are the great opportunities out there - ones that we can take advantage of?" Read more.

Dodd issues call for National Service
Standing on the steps of the Nashua City Hall where JFK kicked off his campaign in 1960, Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd issued a call for National Service. "Like thousands of others, I heard President Kennedy's words and a short time later joined the Peace Corps." Dodd said his goal is to see 40 million people volunteering in some form or another by 2020. "We have an appetite for service. We like to be asked to roll up our sleeves and make a contribution," he said. "We haven't been asked in a long time."

Public diplomacy rests on sound public policy
When President Kennedy spoke of "a long twilight struggle," and challenged the country to "ask not," he signaled that the Cold War was the challenge and framework defining US foreign policy. The current challenge is not a struggle against a totalitarian foe. It is not a battle against an enemy called "Islamofascism." From these false assumptions flow false choices, including the false choice between law enforcement and war. Instead, law enforcement and military force both must be essential instruments, along with diplomacy, including public diplomacy. But public diplomacy rests on policy, and to begin with, the policy must be sound. Read more.

He served with honor
One year ago, Staff Sgt. Robert J. Paul (RPCV Kenya) carried on an ongoing dialog on this website on the military and the peace corps and his role as a member of a Civil Affairs Team in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have just received a report that Sargeant Paul has been killed by a car bomb in Kabul. Words cannot express our feeling of loss for this tremendous injury to the entire RPCV community. Most of us didn't know him personally but we knew him from his words. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. He was one of ours and he served with honor.
