A "god game" quasi-tycoon dungeon management simulator a la Dungeon Keeper and Evil Genius.
Developer: Realmforge Studios
Publisher: Kalypso Media
Platforms: Win (reviewed)
Release: 2011
Genre: strategy, simulator, dungeon management
Metacritic score: 65
This game appeals to the dungeon-master side of gamers. Take this dungeon. Attract those heroes by promising gold and combat and decorating your halls with ghoulish items. Let them get fat and happy with their loot… then KILL THEM ALL! It's like evil-Disneyland.
Unfortunately, it doesn't pan out quite as well as envisioned. The tutorial isn't as explanatory as one would like leading to some confusing times in the first level. The actual gameplay is a little stale and wears out quickly. I felt like I "had" to play to get an honest review rather than enjoying myself.
Nitpicks: the graphics weren't glorious, even for 2011. The first intro, Mr. Sidekick (yes, that's his name) wasn't even moving his mouth to talk, and later it didn't line up at all. His voice appears to be inspired by goblin (read: annoying) Yoda, and the other voice actors aren't great either. In fact, one sounded like he was pulled in off the street and told to read this paper in one take.
There is no real penalty for death, just a little health loss to your dungeonheart (which seems pretty blatantly stolen from Peter Molyneux's 1997 Dungeon Keeper).
The whole plot is set up by your demented girlfriend (obviously a winged demon in as little clothing as possible) letting the heroes in to cast you out of your own throne. Now you have to amass power by taking over standard fantasy realms one by one, starting with fat
Hobbits Halflings who like to sing and be merry all day. Oh, and she calls you "Honeycakes" *gag*.
There is some gamer humor in the heroes' one-liners. They randomly spout things like "Here comes my level up!" or "Look! Walking experience points!"
Like evil-Disneyland, however, you end up either micromanaging the heroes, waiting until they are at just the right fulfillment to kill them, or completely ignoring them while you go off in the direction of the actual objective. The heroes, while seeming like the more interesting gameplay choice, are really just a supply of gold who is trying to steal yours. They wander around, stealing from your gold piles, killing your minions, and gazing at the decor like tourists.
I had hoped to be able to build "real" dungeons and have adventuring parties come in to test them, as though I were the DM and the computer was playing my party as opposed to the typical PC DM and I am the player. This is not that game.

This month, I checked something off my bucket list. Something that's been on my list for as long as I can remember.
I went to Ireland.
I went to Ireland, and it was everything that I had hoped it would be.
So, because I'm one of those people who can't stop talking about myself, and because this is my blog so I can do whatever the fuck I want – here's my Ireland recap – complete just a fraction of the pictures we took. (Side note: Sorry, this probably won't be as snarky as my usual posts, but this was just such an amazing experience for me I don't have much to be bitter and snarky about.)
Day 1 – New York Blitz
On our way out to Ireland, we had a 6 hour layover in New York City. I had always wanted to see NYC, and since we had a few hours to kill, we decided to take a break from the airport and do some sight seeing.
We realistically only had about 3 hours to hang out, so we decided on a visit to the Empire State Building, and because it would just be wrong not to, get some pizza.
Notes from NYC
- It's totally possible to see the Empire State Building in under an hour, especially if you have no disregard for anyone's feelings, personal space, or their/your own personal safety.
- I would totally start the zombie apocalypse in NYC.
- The Empire State Building view was cool, for sure.
- The pizza was all it's cracked up to be.
- I didn't see Pizza Rat, any superheroes, or any Ninja Turtles. This whole city is a lie.
Over all, I'm glad we got to see a tiny part of the city. And now I can definitively say that I couldn't care less if I make it back there.
Day 2 – Hello, Ireland
- Best fish and chips EVER.
- No one's kidding when they talk about how pretty Ireland is.
- All the cool houses seemed to be named. Henceforth, my apartment shall be named Lemur's Roost. Do lemurs have roosts? Well they do now.
- By the way, we stayed in a motherfuckin' castle, yo. How cool is that shit??
Day 3: Our Day of the Doctor
Thankfully, I've managed to drag my husband as deep into the rabbit hole of my Doctor Who obsession as I am. We made sure to spend a day of our vacation in Wales, chasing Doctor Who.
I'm so lucky to have a husband who so throughly encourages what is probably a really unhealthy obsession. (Side note – hey, at least it's not an obsession with hookers and blow?)
More to follow….

Re: B.C. increases homeowner grant threshold to $1.2M, Jan. 6 The wrong people are bearing the brunt. The massive hike in property assessments this year has brought homeowners, unable escape, face to face with often huge increases in their property taxes. Shouldn't this penalty either fall instead on those causing the problem, or maybe averted altogether?
Saturday, Jan. 9: Curb foreign influence
Re: B.C. increases homeowner grant threshold to $1.2M, Jan. 6
The wrong people are bearing the brunt. The massive hike in property assessments this year has brought homeowners, unable escape, face to face with often huge increases in their property taxes. Shouldn't this penalty either fall instead on those causing the problem, or maybe averted altogether?
We lived in Vancouver for over 30 years and in West Vancouver almost 10 years and now, through no fault or action of our own, we face the consequences of a 34 per cent increase in our assessed value. Do we join so many who are considering moving because the increase in our property taxes goes beyond our means to pay, or should Canada make changes to the way in which it does business?
It is not the fault of the assessment authority, entirely, although they did choose to make one unprecedented leap forward this year, instead of introducing the increased values over several years. No, the problem surely lies with the purchasing power of foreign money and the facility our government affords it to ravish our homeowner market here.
Both Australia and Britain have recently introduced measures to curb this foreign distortion of their residential markets. They include restrictions on purchase to citizens and residents only, to deterrent land sales taxes (above say a $3-million threshold) and a capital-gains tax on sales by non-residents. B.C. and Canada need to do the same or we'll all end up living somewhere else — and not by choice.
West Vancouver
Paris climate change talk was mostly hot air
Canada has two climate faces. There's the Paris face where Canada became a reborn climate leader, and then there's the domestic face where Justin Trudeau's Liberals show early signs of perpetuating the status quo.
"Canada is back, my good friends," Trudeau told delegates at the recent Paris talks. "We're here to help, to build an agreement that will do our children and grandchildren proud."
Trudeau talked about relying on scientific evidence and advice, and implementing policies to develop a low-carbon economy, including carbon pricing.
Back in Canada it appears to be business as usual. The Liberal government has confirmed that the National Energy Board reviews of the Energy East and Kinder Morgan Trans-Mountain pipelines will continue, despite a campaign promise that the NEB and the process would be overhauled before hearings proceeded.
Then the hiring of a notorious pro-oilsands lobbyist to a high-level position in the minister of natural resources' office boggles the mind.
Before becoming chief of staff to Minister Jim Carr, Janet Annesley worked for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers at the exact time that CAPP was lobbying to gut environmental regulations.
You can't be a climate leader in Paris and then allow the oily NEB hearings to continue. You can't profess to be a climate leader and then appoint a former Big Oil lobbyist as a high-ranking bureaucrat. You can't be a climate leader and support oilsands and pipeline expansion. You can't be both.
Action must follow words. Sound climate policy must follow rhetoric.

Seniors can defer paying property taxes
Re: Metro homeowners face tax hit from rising assessments, Jan. 5
In all of the discussion and wringing of hands regarding the large jump in property assessments this year for most homeowners in the Lower Mainland, and the anticipated increase in property taxes, there is, for senior citizens at least, a viable remedy — property tax deferral.
This option is available to all homeowners aged 55 or older and allows for taxes to be deferred until the property is sold.
The interest rate charged is very reasonable and was a no-brainer seven years ago when my wife and I reached 55.

Curb car traffic in city centre
Madrid plans to make its city centre car-free by 2020. When will Vancouver lead the way by enforcing all lanes as HOV during rush hours?
Tobacco giants should butt out
Re: Canada moves toward plain packaging for cigarettes, Jan. 6
Despite claims to the contrary by Imperial Tobacco Canada (ITC) spokesman Eric Gagnon, there is a significant amount of evidence to show the Australian plain packaging policy is working to help reduce smoking rates.
ITC is part of an industry that, for decades, denied the harms of smoking. The only statement worth retaining from ITC is from its webpage: "Smoking is a cause of various serious and fatal diseases such as lung cancer, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and heart disease."
When you sell a product that kills almost 40,000 Canadians a year, you don't get to offer advice on how to discourage youth smoking and you don't get to threaten to sue over "intellectual property issues." Why? Well, to borrow from a promising young politician, because it's 2016.

Capitals Player Report Card: Scott Hannan
June 22, 2011 Leave a comment
Scott Hannan
Stats: 78 GP, 1 Goal, 10 Assists, 11 Points, +4, 34 PIM
Contract Info: $4,500,000 cap hit, pending UFA
Player Card
Scoring Chance Percentage Rank: 7/29
Defensemen: 2/10
Balanced Corsi: 10/29
Defensemen: 4/10
When the Caps traded for Scott Hannan, fans had a wide range of expectations for him. Some thought that he would be the "big physical shutdown defenseman that we have always needed" while others simply saw him as giving our blue-line more depth, which we needed badly with all of the injuries. I was in the latter camp because I always thought Hannan was a good defensive player, but he's not Shea Weber (then again, who is?) and the fact that we were able to get him for only Tomas Fleischmann. Hannan certainly fared much better than I thought he would in Washington and proved to be a very durable and reliable defenseman that we needed. However, after taking a closer look at his season, it appears that losing him this off-season may not be as devastating as I thought it would be.
"Solid, steady defenseman" describes Hannan best at this point in his career and that's just what he was in Washington. You'll see that he slowly got more even strength ice time as the season went on and led the Caps in ice-time for many games during the middle stretch of the season. Taking a look at his player card, you'll see that he wasn't depended on in Washington as much as he was for the Avalanche. He was given less ice time and saw much weaker competition compared to his years in Colorado. but he still logged a lot of minutes on most nights. He also managed to have one of the best scoring chance percentages on the team despite starting over 50% of his draws in the defensive zone, which speaks highly of his ability to prevent opposing chances more than it does to create ones on his own.
Hannan was also one of the few Caps defensemen who were able to stay healthy for most of the year and he became more depended on during the playoffs due to injuries to Mike Green, John Carlson, Dennis Wideman and others but he was able to handle those minutes. He also played well despite lacking a consistent partner for most of the seasons. He was either paired with John Erskine or Jeff Schultz most of the time and neither of those two make an ideal partner but he made due with what he got. In fact, I think Schultz's play actually in his own zone improved when he was paired with Hannan (still trying to figure out WOWY's for this season so I can confirm this). I said all season that I would love to have Hannan back next year because our defense corps looks better with him, however if Hannan does leave, our defense corps isn't crippled.
Taking a look at how he compares to other defensemen on the team in shots allowed per 60 minutes, he ranks about in the middle of the pack. His corsi improved dramatically compared to previous years (probably due to playing for a better team) but if you look at his relative corsi rating, it's not that impressive. This is mostly because Scott Hannan's game is very one-dimensional. He's a solid stay-at-home d-man but not much more than that. He rarely contributes offensively and his stats over his career show that. This isn't a knock on Hannan's game at all because he's not supposed to light up the scoresheet, he's supposed to be a good defender and that's what he was this season. I feel that defensive defensemen are very common in the NHL and can be signed for a lot less than Hannan made this year, which is why I believe the Caps losing him isn't crippling. Is he better than someone like Shaone Morrisonn or Milan Jurcina? Absolutely. Is he irreplaceable? Absolutely not.
Again, I'm not knocking Hannan's game at all by saying that because he did what he was expected to do and played more minutes than I thought he would so he gets a B+ on the season. I still would like the Caps to bring him back next year but he's going to have to sign for a lot less than what he's making now. It seems that over the past few years, teams have been overpaying for defensive defensemen (see Komisarek, Mike) so he could fetch more in the open market after having a good season with Washington but I think the Caps can find someone whose game is similar to his for a lot less money. If he produces at both ends of the ice then that's a different story.

SAMARA, November 7. /TASS/. Growing demand for Lada cars in Russia has prompted Russia's biggest car manufacturer Avtovaz to switch its procution line to the full capacity, the press centre of the company told TASS on Friday.
"All assembly lines are working at their full capacity - in two or three shifts five days a week," the press centre said. "Apart from that, additional shifts has been introduced on Saturdays for pilot production lines and Lada 4x4 and Lada Kalina assembly lines."
In October 2014, Avtovaz sold 40,207 Lada cars, or by 4.7% more than in September. As many as 37,788 cars were sold domestically, or by 3.5% up on September.
Lada sales in October 2014 exceeded October 2013 sales by 0.8% Thus, Lada sales have demonstrated upwards tendencies after 19 months of slump.

For Better and For Worse
Scratch a rational and you'll find a scientist. The natural inclinations in us, though often formed of discipline and habit, have a way of pushing through. Something warms the spirit in our most fundamental urgings and: "Poof," our clothes tear and muscles bulge as the real identity of the Hulk emerges. Something under the skin is usually waiting to come out. And its light is never brighter than when we give license to it forming. There is an infusive and productive spirit in each, and also a demon that conspires to keep us bound to convenience and mediocrity. Which prevails, the wisdom goes, is the one we feed the most.
The "yes" and "no" in the human condition may be what informs next steps, its sufficiency the strength of interlocking "Lego's" of experience and understanding, and its motivation the thought that becomes behavior. Few would argue the compulsion that makes us late for things, forcing us to tidy up, spend another's time finding just the right shirt or shoes to wear, or finish chores now more evident as we rush to the car to consider excuses for being late. His alter ego: the person who arrives at the airport 3 hours before flight time, just in case. The "yes" and "no" in each is not only what qualifies us uniquely, but helps determine how others might employ our, well… unique style and skills.
Our willingness to reveal this most fundamental urging may hold some promise for the balance it strikes in each choice, but is unrevealed to most. Simply, "yes" means "no" to something, as does the converse. When we agree to join neighbors in cleaning up the streets of litter, we might be saying "no" to a Sunday afternoon football game. The offer is less appealing (in the strict sense) than sitting on the couch with a beer and pretzels, but the ESFP in us (Meyer Briggs) compels the choice by a fundamental urging. Even more compelling is the science that reveals the D4ND gene, which experts say compels us to vote as our parents did.
At the root of much behavior is fear, another term that describes the survival instinct endemic to animal and plant. Our loyalties and intentions are quick to surface, the fuel in the Self-Ideal. We humans are patterned to put our best foot forward, give the best impression of ourselves, our achievements, and our personal design for others and the world at large. What we will and won't do, at least in polite conversation, rolls quickly off the tongue. Few bend to the cloistered mind twisting of the ascetic. So, how do we model the "ideal" with the integrity of our actions: words given meaning by powerful phrases of action?
The world may be hurtling so fast that information overload or eroding ethics want desperately for a "stop" button in the way that the bottom of every text message offers subsequent relief. Refusal takes on a sense of urgency under such circumstances, and yields a "positive no," a prodigious alternative to "out of control" submissiveness. The Delphic ethic in this choice may burn welts on the pages of so many "yes" motivational essays and books, but informs a more concrete measure of rational and feeling behavior than its popular scion.
When customers say "No", is it really "Yes"? No, Yes, Yes, and Yes again! Yes, they did say "no." But what they're really saying is "yes," if they can be shown the real value in your offer, and "yes" they want to buy if you would only help them get there. And "yes" they are not going to make it easy for you. Ask a customer to spend twice his annual budget on promotion and he'll gasp at the nerve of you. Tell him how your proposed methods of promotion are better endowed than any he has used-yielding a 500 percent ROI, then ask if he'd find money he doesn't have to fund such a venture. Can you hear the "Yes" forming?
What we "will" and "will not" do is critical information to organizations, both in hiring and defining the market "use model" for products and services. Know both and better decisions and market success naturally follow. After speaking to so many of those who say: "I can," and those who say: "I can't," I'm convinced they're on to something.

Today has been kind of crazy! I mean, not like yesterday collecting a dishwasher and wearing gym clothes all day crazy, a whole different kind.
I got the tram into town today to do some Christmas shopping (I only broke up yesterday. I only got paid yesterday. There was only so much I could do with no time or money… that's why teachers generally do their Christmas shopping all in one go, usually the last couple of days before Christmas), but ended up missing the tram because the clock in our kitchen is apparently wrong. Good job I bought excessive amounts of batteries today.
I got off of the tram and was immediately overwhelmed. Surrounded by people with no one to help me, with several thousand gifts to buy… eeek! Deep breath and the thought of a mulled wine with my friends at the end of the morning!
I managed it all, bought myself a sneaky coffee halfway round (see picture) in lovely little coffee shop called 200 degrees and even purchased a new gym top (in the hope I will get back into exercising after Christmas), a travel coffee mug, some jeans and a dress to wear on Christmas day. Feeling rather smug, I headed to meet said friends for a mulled wine, and spent a thoroughly lovely hour putting the world to rights and marvelling at being able to sit outdoors and not feel freezing in December. (Although see my post on Global Warming to find out my true feelings on this subject).
A couple of interesting things happened to me today which I think are worth mentioning; there was a TV crew filming around the city, who seemed to be following me around. They were in John Lewis when I stopped in there. They were in the street I walked down. They were even in the coffee shop I stopped in. So I imagine they were not pleased when the girl with the fluffy bear hat kept appearing in EVERY location they tried to film. I'll be looking out for myself on all local news from now on.
I also did what I thought was a good deed for the day which turned out to be wholly unappreciated. I passed a man selling the Big Issue magazine a couple of times and thought he looked chilly, so I bought him a latte. He acted as if I was a slow waitress in a café who had taken too long with his order. I'm not sure what I expected but I won't be buying him another one anytime soon. A thank you would have been nice?!
But I did get some good karma just before I hopped back on the tram to go home; my favourite coffee shop EVER (Starbucks… sorry I know everyone says it's basic but I just love it) was giving away free drinks every time you bought a gift card, and it just so happened that I was buying THREE gift cards. I did not get three free drinks (who can drink 3 Starbucks in one go?!) but the one free drink I did get was much appreciated, so thank you for that Starbucks!

I guess if it doesn't actually go into the turkey, it isn't stuffing, right? Then it's dressing, though it doesn't seem to be dressing anything. Whatever. Doesn't matter. You could argue that stuffing is the actual real reason to roast a turkey, and I wouldn't argue too strenuously with you. There seem to be even more recipes for stuffing than there are directions for roasting the turkey, and each variation has its adherents. Rice dressing, oyster stuffing, cornbread stuffing (which, I have to admit, I am not really crazy about), sauerkraut dressing, onion dressing, Chinese greens dressing, bread stuffing. I read somewhere about an Italian family freshly arrived in the United States who wanted to celebrate this great American holiday. They heard that a turkey should be stuffed – so they made a ravioli stuffing. Works for me.
In her own handwriting, Marilyn Monroe's recipe for stuffing.
This is, more or less, the way I make stuffing. For years I added spinach and sausage to the basic recipe, and then my nephew became a vegan. Out with the sausage. It became an apple and walnut stuffing, and it seemed that everyone actually liked it better. Hmpf. Anyway, I was asked to share a basic stuffing recipe, and this is it. This makes enough to serve 10-12 people with leftovers.
- 2 large loaves cheap French bread (I use the bakery loaves from Winco or Holiday, about $1.50 each)
- 1 large yellow or white onion
- 4-5 stalks celery
- 1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
- dried or powdered sage
- dry thyme
- dry rosemary
- dry marjoram
- 2 or 3 eggs
- chicken or turkey broth
- salt and pepper
Tear up the bread into small pieces (about 1″ square, more or less) – or cut it, if you have lots of patience. This is a good job to assign to a helpful child. It was my job when I was a kid, and I guess I didn't screw it up too badly. Let the cut-up bread sit out to get stale – overnight is ideal if you can swing it.
Chop the onion and celery. Melt the butter in a wide frying pan and saute the onion & celery over medium heat until the onion starts to become translucent. Then add the seasonings, and this is a matter of taste: I like more sage than most people, so I have to remember to tone it down a little. Figure about 2 teaspoons each of sage, thyme, and marjoram, and 1 teaspoon of rosemary. Also add about 2 teaspoons salt and as much pepper as you think prudent, and saute all this together another couple of minutes.
Pour in 1 quart of chicken or turkey broth and heat it, then pour the whole thing over the stale bread pieces. Mix as well as you can with a big spoon, though you will probably have to give in and use your hands. Really smoosh this around so the broth & seasonings are evenly distributed. If there are dry patches of bread, add some more broth. Taste for seasoning and add more of whatever you think necessary. When the seasoning is just right, break in the eggs and mix those in thoroughly.
Spoon dressing into a large casserole or two, cover with foil and store in the refrigerator. When the turkey comes out of the oven, bake covered at 350 for about 45 minutes. If the dressing seems dry, pour on a little stock or melted butter.
Variations and additions:
- Vegan apple-walnut dressing: substitute olive oil for butter. Substitute vegetable broth for chicken/turkey stock. Chop two or three apples – Fuji or Golden Delicious are good – and saute along with the onion & celery. Mix 1 cup walnut pieces into the bread when you add the broth. Omit the eggs.
- Sausage and spinach dressing: Cut open 1 pound of Italian sausages and squeeze the meat out of the casings. (Or use 1 pound of bulk sausage.) Cook the sausage along with the onion & celery until the meat is completely cooked through. Add 1 teaspoon fennel seeds to the saute pan. Wash, trim, and chop 1 large bunch of spinach, and add that to the bread as you add the broth.
- Swiss chard dressing: Trim and chop 1 bunch Swiss chard and add to saute pan along with 1 cup slivered almonds and 1 teaspoon oregano. Rinse 1 cup golden raisins in boiling water and add to the bread, along with 1 cup pitted black or green olives.
- Bacon: add crisp crumbled bacon to the bread.
- Kale: Thinly slice 1 bunch kale – I like the flat-leaf types better than the common curly kale, but use whatever is available – and add to the saute pan.
- Additions: sliced sauteed mushrooms, chopped parsley, roasted peeled chopped chiles, minced sauteed garlic, pitted olives, sliced water chestnuts, the cooked giblets from the turkey.
- Rinse chopped dried fruit (such as apricots, prunes, golden raisins) in boiling water, then soak overnight in Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier. Add fruit and liqueur to bread.
- Add 1 cup each chopped pitted dates and walnuts to the bread.
- Substitute other kinds of bread or use a combination of breads. (I save ends and slices from different loaves of bread specifically for this.)
You can probably think of all kinds of other variations and additions. They're all good and you could create a new tradition with your innovations.

5/16/12 PBS to air Turkana Basin documentary
PBS to air Turkana Basin documentary
Bones of Turkana follows the story of famed paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey and his wife Meave, daughter Louise and their colleagues, as they work in the arid northern regions of Kenya's Turkana Basin to unravel the mysteries of human evolution. While one of the Leakeys' goals is to demonstrate the complexity and truth of human evolution, they also seek to show how the qualities that we proudly call human were all born in Africa.
Bones of Turkana airs on PBS on May 16, 2012. Please check local listings for the time of broadcast.
The story that emerges is exciting, emotional, contemplative, occasionally funny, and in the end, transforming. This is Africa at its most beautiful and harshest.
We hope you will tune in for Bones of Turkana, written, directed and produced by John Heminway.
If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Abruzzi in the Turkana Basin Institute office at 631.632.4608 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

For the past few years when my birthday rolls around, there is one particular thing that you can be sure is on my list. Books. Of course that was on my Christmas list as well, and pretty much any other list that I make for gifts to myself. I would usually get Barnes and Noble or Boarders (when it was still open) gift cards, because I was super picky about my books. That's not to say I'm not picky about them now, but now that the internet has made shopping a lot easier for my mom (I just go to amazon and add what I want to a my wish list) I can get what I want and no one has to guess.
Though, mom has done pretty well in the past, she was the one who picked out and bought Percy Jackson for my 13th birthday (I have the whole series and The Heroes of Olympus).
I was super excited for this year's birthday books, because out of the 8 I got, I've only read one. Now I have the very long list of books on my book shelf that need to be read. It should keep me entertained for a few months at least. I had to re-arrange my bookshelf, again, to get all the books where they need to be. And yes, my books are in order from my favorite to my least favorite, at least for the most part.
Funny story, since there was a book that arrived the day after my birthday, my mom just had me open it up. Lo and behold, there were two of Glass Sword sitting in the box, though neither of us have no idea how that happened.
The books I got are, in just the order I remember to write them down in: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard, Snow like Ashes and Ice like Fire by Sara Raasch, Unravel Me and Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi, Kiss of Deception and Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson. The only one I've read was Kiss of Deception, and that plot twist, just, wow.
I plan to read these and write reviews on them as I go, and I hope you are having a great year so far!
And Happy Valentine's Day!

Mind Your Language (3)
There's just one more thing related to language. My colleague Alison was brave enough to tell a story against herself. Read about it here, and I hope I do not need to spell out the moral of the tale. It was first published by Volunteer Wellington in their April newsletter, and is reproduced here by permission.
Alison's story
I thought I was a pretty good manager of volunteers. I could report regularly on how many volunteers I had, how many new ones I had recruited, any issues my team had and updates on vacancies. I was proud of my volunteers and their performance, which of course was due to the training and support I provided for my team. I was also a passionate advocate for my volunteers with other staff.
Until the day I got gutted by a new boss. I was reporting with my usual enthusiasm on the progress of my volunteers, and he stops me in mid-flight. Excuse me Alison, he says, very politely, they are not your volunteers – they are part of the organization. You will not, he says, ever again, looking at me directly, use the word 'my' in reference to volunteer services.
Well, that was a pretty clear instruction, and I had to do a lot of re-jigging of my self-image, and my perceptions of volunteers, and what my role was really about. And I had to cut that possessive 'my' from my vocabulary. What happened next was just amazing.
Other staff started to show how they felt connected to volunteers, to value and respect the volunteer contributions to our services. And they stopped dumping on me every time a volunteer put a foot wrong. They started taking responsibility for guiding and supporting volunteers, especially the newbies. They started engaging with volunteers, getting to know them and learning how to draw on individual volunteer skills and strengths. Just like they always did with their colleagues. Well hello – volunteers are a valuable asset and a valued resource, no less than paid staff.
As for me – once I had got over the humiliation of being told off, which is what it felt like – I discovered there were a whole lot of new things to learn. Like being able to have open discussion about further developments of volunteer services. Like feeling more engaged with the whole organization instead of being a precious sub-set, and a bit on the outer. The most important lesson was finally understanding what my role was all about.
I am not a 'volunteer' manager – I get paid for managing volunteers. So I do all that HR stuff of recruiting, training, placement, performance appraisal – but that does not mean I 'own' the volunteers, any more than the HR person in your organization 'owns' the paid staff. But neither am I a 'manager of volunteers'. When volunteers are spread across the organization in various roles it is not my job to micro-manage what they do – that's up to team leaders and other managers, and part of that integration thing that happens when you drop 'my' from your vocabulary. What I am really employed to do is manage volunteer services – not the people, not the individuals, but making the services happen. So OK, I might have to turn my hand to event management when there is a Street Appeal, or to rally resources for a particular client need, or to discuss options for a recruitment drive with the manager of our op-shops. I have to be really good at setting up processes and policies for recruitment and screening of volunteer applicants; I have to ensure the best possible orientation and training programmes; I need to have really good communication channels open for the volunteers, by phone, email and even old-fashioned snail-mail; I need to be really smart in maintaining a database; and then I have to show off my marketing skills when it comes to Volunteer Awareness Week and International Volunteers' Day.
And by heck – I need to keep up with all the stuff out there in cyber-space that tells me what's happening in the world of volunteer management. That's what managers do, right?
I do not have to do all this stuff on my own. All round me I can draw on volunteers with amazing skills and willingness to take on assignments. When I let go the 'my' of my work I can embrace the 'our' and accomplish so much more than ever before.
5 Comments »
I love Alison's story. It has been a model for us at Volunteer Wellington to work on with our staff, to retell the story and make sure we all 'mind our language'. We now have been given permission to pull one another up when there's a slip of the tongue – goes to show language changes mindsets, and therefore minds, and therefore ways we all work.
Well, there may be a lesson for me in here, too. I think I'll stop saying "my" patients.
Great article Sue. The "My Volunteers" is very much a motherhood, slightly patronising statement which I have heard. You make a good point about using the correct language and Alison is very brave, open and honest for sharing her own experiences and how she has learned from them. She should be congratulated for her courage and her candour.

I sent out the hallowed "Peace Out, ULAC!" email just after chowing down on a piece of free pie today (mmmm, pie….). The responses are always quite interesting (unless you go hardcore and send it as your last email EVER!)…some of mine included:
— An email from former colleagues telling me to come visit Indianapolis once in a while (for the Rathskeller, I'll do anything!)
— At least a half-dozen emails stating something along the lines of "smart move, m@." (I think so too.)
— "Don't forget about us little people." (This responder was accurate, he is a little shorter than me.)
— "Grad school was a real eye opener for me!" (Uhhhh….?)
— "I just enrolled my oldest son into The Ohio State University!" (Poor kid.)
— An email from the Executive VP of my previous company. (THIS was interesting. He essentially let me know that Ross is a target school for them; he simply closed with "Keep in touch!" Subtle, verrrry verrrrry subtle.)
My weekend is chock-full with farewell parties (for other friends as well, one of whom is going to Japan for a year), BBQs, and Happy Hours. And to be honest, it almost just feels like another weekend here in Seattle, even though it's going to be my last.
I'm sure that, at some random location in Wyoming along Interstate 90, that it'll finally hit me. By then, the Space Needle will be out of sight, and the plains of the Midwest will greet me with amber waves of grain. *tear*

Windows Live Mail storage folder problem
Hello people,
I am new to Windows 7 and need some help to resolve a problem I have when changing the Windows Live Mail storage folder location.
I usually work in three different computers (two desktop PCs and a notebook) and want to keep all my e-mail messages and folders everywere I go without having to import messages, update them or keep a copy at servers, or things like that. Until now, I resolved this very well by keeping the storage folder in a usb drive. All the folders, e-mails, acccounts, etc., were correctly showed when I opened the Windows Live Mail application no matter in which of the three different computers (running XP SP3 32 bits) I plugged the usb drive in.
Now I have installed Windos 7 Ultimate 64 bits in my new PC and after changing the default storage folder location at the Windows Live Mail program to point to the one in my usb drive (as usual), I get an error the next time I open the application when it tries to load the messages, etc. from the new location. The error says:
"Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close."
What is going wrong? The storage works perfectly when is used in all the Windows XP 32bits PCs, but cannot be opened in my Windows 7 64 bits PC?
By the way, I don't use the calendar at all and all the Windows Live Mail versions are the same in all my PCs (except for the 32 vs 64 bits versions I supose).
Any ideas? I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,

Ok, I found a solution. Just in case it is useful for someone else with the same problem here is what I did:
1. Deleted the Calendar folder at the storage folder I was trying to use (the one in the USB drive). This resolved the error message, but then a new error appeared saying that the folder was in use by another application and the program closed.
2. Changed the properties for the message store folder in the USB drive and set all access permissions for it. This resolved the second error and now everything works like a charm.
Hope this helps others.
Thank you and greetings,

W7 64bit
I see that this is 384 days old, but I have just found it. If the originator and solver of the problem sees this I would be grateful for his comments.
I have been helping a friend who has XP and WLM 2009, to install Windows 7 on another partition. In order to be able to get to his emails from both, we put the Store folder from the XP WLM in a Data partition (but did not delete anything from the original location).
Then installed WLM 2011 in W7 and changed the Store location to the folder already put into Data. It seemed to import emails, contacts etc as expected. (We do not use the Calendar).
On returning to XP and trying to open WLM we got the same message that you have reported, plus another "Your messages have been placed in an orphaned account 0X0000000.20"
On returning to W7 there were no longer any emails or other file material there.
We posted on a "windowslivehelp" forum and received some advice there which led us to only working with one OS - XP -for WLM, and recovering from a backup taken 3 weeks earlier, the files of that time. That is, we lost the more recent. We still have the later Store folder in an external hard drive, in case we can ever find a way to get the files out.
Only the WLM in XP is now used, but it is planned that when most work is being done in W7, WLM 2011 will be reinstalled and WLM 2009in XP will be deleted.
Do you think we could return to our original plan if we did as you did with Calendar?
Thanks, dsim.

I do not condone police brutality in any way, but I think society is taking some of this too far. I have several friends who are police officers in Atlanta, and they can tell you stories of how some of these "innocent" traffic violators spit, scratch, and try to stab and cut officers when given sobriety tests or asked to show their license. I'm a firm believer in if an officer asks you to to lay down, you lay down. If he/she asks you to put your hands in plain sight, you put your hands in plain sight. If you don't, they will do it for you. If you persist in not doing what they ask, you get the taser. Police officers put their lives on the line every day so that we can live in a safer world. They are not payed anywhere near enough to do this, but they do it anyway. Same thing for firemen. You would be suprised how many times firemen are assaulted when trying to save a person from a fire or auto accident. I, for one, am tired of hearing about someone punching a police officer, then suing them/the city when the officer uses the taser. I say shoot them, and thin the herd of low-life idiots who cost the taxpayers millions of dollars each year. I guess that is why I will never be a police officer.

It's not just S.C., police act like this everywhere. What a shame.

Sometimes, it would be worth it!

T.H.U.G.S with badges. People become cops so they can bully other people. The dash cam is beginning to make it harder for cops to get away with being cops. But until cops start having to serve time in jail for assault in these cases, it isn't enough.

I become a little weary of "bad police" stories and videos although I know they happen. I'm going to tell a good story just to make myself feel better.
In 1996, coming north from Atlanta, I heard on the radio about an airplane crash into the Everglades. My sister would have been coming home near that time and immediately I was worried it was her flight. I didn't have my cell phone. I was concentrating on what to do when I got to a phone when I saw the blue light in my rear view.( I have to admit here that I've been often stopped for speeding, but not ticketed. Niceness really works in this situation.) I decided that I would just take the ticket, that I probably was speeding, and get to a phone ASAP.
He asked the usual questions, but he asked me at least 3 times if I was all right. I was trying to act composed and "normal". I finally told him that I was sure I was speeding and just needed him to ticket me so that I could get to a telephone and explained what I'd heard. He put away the ticket book and took me to a pay phone. He asked me to consider how killing myself on the highway would make anything better for my family.
Thankfully my sister was safe. I've never sped again after that. I don't know who he was, but he was totally correct and he is my hero.

If you think you can do it better get out there. Otherwise, you are kept by better men than yourself.

I love stories such as these, I love the fact that the media rarely ever shows us the good but they ALWAYS show us the bad. I can't honestly remember the last time I saw a story on the news about an officer risking his own life to pull a woman out of a burning car or an officer stopping a robbery while off-duty.
You rarely ever see those types of stories, but you always see stories about that ONE officer misbehaving. I wonder why.

Two ladies and a whole lotta wool
Hello crafters,
Apologies for the long silence over here, both me and Charlie have had a lot on recently and we've struggled to find the time to share our crafty exploits. However, this week I've realised that you must always make time for the things you love – especially if they help you unwind after a long day.
As I've been so busy I've actually struggled to settle on a project. Sometimes I just want to craft to relax and calm my brain, so I might not necessarily have a project in mind. I've found that the best thing for directionless, itchy fingers has to be the humble crochet square (aka the granny square). They are so satisfying to make and so easy. They require a bit of concentration to get it right, but not too much that you need to focus entirely on it. Perfect for a busy mind that needs something relaxing but not too tiring. My good friend Eve taught me how to make a crochet square, but there's a fantastic tutorial over on Purl Bee for those of you who don't have a crochet-minded friend to show you.
This afternoon I just really needed to unwind, so I made myself a brew, got comfy, put on something to listen to (today it was the Good Job Brain podcast, it appeals to the Trivial Pursuit geek in me). I then picked out some colours I like from my mountainous stash (it's Drops Baby Merino if you're interested), got started and waited to see where it would take me. There are just so many possibilities. What started today as a possible blanket is now going to be a pillow case. What do you think?
And the best thing about the humble crochet square – it's so portable! I'll be bringing this one with me on my morning commute.

Mean Green Claim Four Of Five Events In Pentathlon
North Texas Claims Six of Top Eight Total Times
DENTON - Sarah Vaisse led the way as the North Texas swimming and diving team began the season Friday at its annual pentathlon. Vaisse finished with a total time of 4:59.57, the only total time under five minutes, and posted the top time in the 100-yard individual medley (59.33).
"I told the team today before we started racing to just have fun," North Texas head coach Brittany Roth said. "They've really jumped in on making sure we are UNT-focused rather than individual-focused. As long as it's a UNT cap touching the wall first, that's what we're looking for."
The pentathlon featured two other schools, the TCU Horned Frogs and the UT-Permian Basin Falcons, competing in the 100-yard butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle and individual medley.
The Mean Green claimed the top spot in four of the five events and had six members finish in the top eight on the day. Sophomore Jowita Sienczyk and senior Claudia Kitching recorded the fastest times in the backstroke (58.47) and breaststroke (1:04.69), respectively. Vaisse took second place in each of those events.
"This is her meet. She defended the title again," Roth said. "Now she can put that little feather in her cap."
Newcomer Leigh Faires McGee made her North Texas debut by swimming the fastest time of the day in the 100-yard freestyle (53.15). Junior Brittany Thurstin and senior Sydney Buckley also placed in the top 10 as well.
The Mean Green are back in the pool next friday for the North Texas Relays in Lewisville, Texas, beginning at 4 p.m.
- Friday's pentathlon marked Roth's first event as the program's permanent head coach.
- For the third straight year, Vaisse posted the top total time in the pentathlon.

"Spread it around," at
"There's such a thing as a smart deficit", at
3 comments:
The authors of these two articles are correct; McCain is just as bad as Obama. However, the concept of the "smart deficit" is fundamentally flawed. Thomas Frank argues that current deficits that "benefit the rich and well-connected" are stupid deficits. While he says smart deficits would be spent on "infrastructure, on stabilizing the housing market and on energy independence program." Who do you think will receive the money in his scenario? Only the rich and well-connected will get government money. For 10,000 years, government has always taken money from the poor and unconnected and given it to its friends. Why would that change now?ReplyDelete
Good point! All things being equal, it is better to not run deficits at all. Given that 70% of our national debt was signed into law by presidents named Reagan and Bush, however, while both cutting taxes on the rich and not cutting spending, the idea that the GOP is fiscally conservative is bankrupt. Wasn't the last president to balance a budget Bill Clinton? Imagine how much better off we'd be without all that debt we are saddled with.
To be fair, Reagan and Bush cut taxes for everyone earning income, rich and poor. However, their massive increases in government spending negated the benefits of their tax cuts.ReplyDelete
If the best we can hope for is that Obama will govern like Clinton, well, suddenly I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Neither McCain nor Obama offer any hope of change. If you want change, vote third party.

From nickhaus.com
In February 2006, the Philippines marked 20 years of freedom since its "people power" uprising sent former President Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda Trinidad Romualdez Marcos into exile in Hawaii. Marcos was driven from power following a 20-year reign, which included nine years of martial law used to keep him in office and jail his opponents.
In light of Imelda Marcos' reputation for extravagance, 65 parasols are easy to explain. After all, the sun is hot in Manila. But what did the former Philippine First Lady do with 15 mink coats? These were among the items listed in the government's inventory of possessions left behind in Malacanang Palace by the fleeing Marcoses. Also listed were 508 floor- length gowns, 888 handbags and 71 pairs of sunglasses. The final tally on Imelda's shoes was 1,060 pairs, less than the 3,000 originally reported.
( time.com)
Imelda's family is described as a respectable middle class family that has produced lawyers, politicians, and artists. She was born on July 2, 1929 in San Juan de Dios Hospital in Manila. Her parents were Vicente Orestes Romualdez, a lawyer, former dean of the law school of St. Paul's College, and a music and culture afficionado; and Remedios Trinidad, a dressmaker who traces her roots from Baliuag, Bulacan. Imelda was also a niece of Daniel Romualdez, the Speaker of the House of Representatives during the early 1950s.
A beauty queen in her own right, Imelda was also a fixture in several beauty pageants during the 1950s. Imelda was crowned the "Rose of Tacloban" at the age of 18. In 1953, she also competed in the Miss Manila beauty pageant. Although she placed among the top winners, the pageant – and Imelda – generated controversy due to Imelda's complaints about not winning the title. This prompted then Manila Mayor Arsenio Lacson to bestow upon her the title of, "Manila's Muse." The controversial incident would prove to be the start of a life surrounded by one controversy after another.
Imelda Romualdez grew up in the southern province of Leyte before returning to Manila when she was in her 20s, where she met rising political star, Ferdinand Marcos in the Congressional cafeteria and married him 11 days later. As she recalls, the common opinion was that "Whoever will not marry this guy is stupid."
When her husband was elected president of the Philippines in 1965, Imelda Marcos became an unusually politically active first lady, not only helping to campaign but also establishing public institutions and cultural projects and serving as the governor of Metro Manila and the minister of human settlements and ecology. After the Marcoses declared martial law in 1972, they continued to rule the Philippines as a dictatorship, using their power to amass great amounts of private wealth and siphoning billions of dollars in foreign aid and domestic profits into private international bank accounts, while most Filipinos remained in extreme poverty. Opposition to the Marcos administration was quickly squelched, with thousands of journalists, students and other dissenters taken into custody as political prisoners. Meanwhile, Imelda Marcos remained a beloved and powerful figure worldwide, traveling around the globe and increasingly taking the place of her husband as his health began to deteriorate.
(Adapted from The Biography Channel: Imelda Marcos Marcos, Imelda Romualdez at INDEPENDENT LENS)
On December 7, 1972, an assailant, Carlito Dimahilig, tried to stab her to death with a bolo knife during an award ceremony broadcast live on television. Critics claimed the assassination attempt was staged. The assailant was shot to death by security police and the wounds on Marcos' hands and arms required 75 stitches. In 1978, she was elected as member of the 165-member Interim Batasang Pambansa (National Assembly) representing the National Capital Region.
As a Special Envoy, Imelda toured China, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet satellite states in Eastern Europe (Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, etc.), the Middle East, Libya, then ruled by strongman Muammar Gaddafi, the non-Soviet dominated communist state of Yugoslavia, and Cuba. To justify the multi-million expenditure of traveling with a large diplomatic entourage using private jets, she would later claim diplomatic successes that included securing of a cheap supply of oil from China and Libya, and in the signing of the Tripoli Agreement.
Imelda's extravagant lifestyle reportedly included five-million-dollar shopping tours in New York, Rome and Copenhagen in 1983, and sending a plane to pick up Australian white sand for a new beach resort. She purchased a number of properties in Manhattan in the 1980s, including the $51-million Crown Building, the Woolworth Building (40 Wall Street) and the $60-million Herald Centre; she declined to purchase the Empire State Building for $750m as she considered it "too ostentatious." Her New York real estate was later seized and sold, along with much of her jewels and most of her 175 piece art collection, which included works by Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Canaletto. She responded to criticisms of her extravagance by claiming that it was her "duty" to be "some kind of light, a star to give (the poor) guidelines.
When the Marcoses were ousted from power by a popular uprising in 1986, they fled to Hawaii, where Ferdinand died in 1989. Imelda stood trial in New York on charges of fraud, but was acquitted of all charges. Philippines President Corazon Aquino ordered Marcos's enormous collection of shoes, clothes and art to be put on display at Malacanang Palace as a demonstration of the regime's corruption and extravagance.
Imelda Marcos returned to the Philippines in 1991 and campaigned unsuccessfully for president, but soon after won election to the House of Representatives. Two of her three children, Imee and Bongbong, are also active in politics, while her daughter Irene remains out of the public eye.
Numerous court trials followed, in which Marcos was convicted of corruption and sentenced to 18 years in prison. She successfully appealed and was never imprisoned. In 2001, Marcos was arrested and charged with amassing wealth illegally and sentenced to nine years in prison, a conviction that was also overturned. She continues to face more than 150 additional corruption-related charges, and has become a reviled yet notorious cult figure. Today, she receives a monthly pension of $90 from the Filipino government as a widow of a war veteran.

It's a shame about the running community, but it sounds like you intend to keep a foot in Columbus anyway. And trail opportunities is good.

Is the tie in Goshen the new boyfriend btw? Am I being inappropriately nosy? :D

What you say about food in middle America is really true. A friend of mine who still lives in NE Ohio posted the other day that our hometown had finally gotten its first Indian restaurant, so everyone should go patronize it so it doesn't shut down. I was like, wow, seriously - there's never been an Indian restaurant there? And after thinking about it, I realized the lack of options really had an effect on my eating habits. No one in my family ever made anything other than meat/chicken and potatoes or pasta for meals, and we hardly ever went to restaurants that didn't serve just regular "American" unhealthy food. There was a Mediterranean restaurant that opened just before I moved away to college, but that was pretty much it. I had never even HEARD of Ethiopian restaurants until I moved to Columbus! It's so crazy how few options might be available to a lot of people in smaller towns/less metropolitan areas. I'm sure that once you settle in you'll be able find at least some of the things that you like to eat and it sounds like you have ideas for lots of others. If you ever want us to bring you yummy things from Chicago as we're headed through Indiana to Ohio, just let us know and we can meet in South Bend or somewhere! :)Ginahttps://email@example.com

BioWare Reveals Mass Effect 2 Story Details
Electronic Arts fired over a press release revealing the plot points from the upcoming second installment of the Mass Effect trilogy. According to EA, players will once again assume the role of Commander Shepard and command a crew on a suicide mission in space to discover why humans are vanishing from the galaxy. Players will assemble the team from a variety of characters including mystics, geniuses, and convicts. Each selected character will have an impact on how the team will survive, ultimately paving a set course on how the game will conclude.
"The Mass Effect trilogy is an epic, action-filled saga with consequences that will carry through from chapter to chapter," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Group General Manager and Senior Vice President, Electronic Arts, and co-founder and CEO, BioWare. "Building out a diverse and loyal party is one of the features that makes the Mass Effect series quite unique. The characters Commander Shepard recruits are not only pivotal to the storyline, but essential to the player's overall success."
EA also said that a new character will be available: Grunt, a blood-hungry Krogan fighter who is violent and unpredictable. "Grunt has never faced true defeat," EA adds. "His unsurpassed physical strength makes him a strong asset to Commander Shepard's team, if he can be tamed, and if he can be trusted." Grunt is actually the second character to be revealed; EA previously unveiled Thane--a deadly assassin--back in June.
Mass Effect 2 is slated to hit the PC and Xbox 360 in early 2010.
AnonymousAnd all BioWare.
I would think that as far as the western hemisphere is concerned they're the number one RPG studio. I've tried to come up with a bad game they've made and came up short. In fact, I can't even come up with a mediocre game.
No, I don't work for them in case anyone wants to know. :P
I think they did a good job at porting it to PC compared to the likes of Rainbow 6 Vegas and GTA4, it didn't have any graphical or gameplay issues to my knowledge. Also I think the controls were good enough, mouse, WSAD, and the inventory key and I was all set.
I guess you can't please everybody.
RegulasPlease Bioware, listen and do not ruin Mass Effect 2 like you did the first one with Draconian DRM. You are doing right with Dragon Age, disk check only, keep up the trend with Mass Effect 2. Also stay the hell away from Microsoft and their piece of crap Games for Windows Live and their DRM fiasco.

Yesterday was awfully hard for me. I don't know how to make it through the day. I am struggling to move. Being normal, being a mother is challenging. Its a good thing that my son attended a birthday party. He wont see me wallow. I have been very very down lately. Old emotions coming back out where I buried them. We head out when he came back from the party. I remember crying in our car journey with a fellow passenger totally ignoring me. My son is asleep. Good. He will not see me cry. I am always hiding this emotions to him as I always do. I don't want him to worry about me. He is just 4 years old after all.
Or so I thought.
All through the day my 4 year old son is asking if I am happy? He usually ask this when I am sad or looks sad or mad. He would say 'Mummy are you happy with me?' He probably did ask me that more than 10x yesterday. So he feels what I am feeling. I can't hide these sadness to him now or maybe I should try harder to hide it. My son is really maturing, growing up so fast. I am so proud of him being this sensitive like I had said so many times before.
And to balance all the sadness that I felt I am so happy that when we sat to eat dinner in a restaurant, he ate by himself with gusto! The whole meatball! In one go. I have been starting to make him eat by himself and its a bit of a struggle for us. But yesterday he didn't cause any worry and he is just such an angel!

Take measures to protect your computer data from ramsomware.
That's the warning to Mid-North Coast business owners from Port Macquarie IT expert Steve Laws after four of his clients had their computer data held "hostage" by digital extortionists recently.
Typically embedded within a harmless looking email, ransomware is malicious software that disables a computer's antivirus software and backup systems before effectively holding its data "hostage" with an unbreakable 512-bit digital encryption key.
With the data securely locked, the attacker demands a "ransom" in return for the key that will release it.
The ransom is usually paid in bitcoin because the digital currency's trail is extremely difficult to follow.
Mr Laws, owner of Home and Office Computer Solutions, said ransomware attack cost a Mid-North Coast accountancy firm $25,000 to have their files unlocked.
A local medical specialist paid a "ransom" of $1800 to retrieve patient files, an auto parts store owner more than $3000 and a share trader $800.
'Like a death in family'
Although the accountancy firm was not a client, Mr Laws was called in by the principal to assess the damage the ransomware attack had wrought.
"It's the first time in my 20-year career in IT that I had to tell someone that there was absolutely nothing I could do," Mr Laws said.
"It was very traumatic: I felt like I was telling him that there had been a death in his family.
"His accountancy business had effectively disappeared.
"His client's files, ATO applications, business accounts, the work templates he'd built up over years… everything was locked up and there was no way to unlock it without paying the ransom."
Initially working day and night, it took Mr Laws six days to assess the scope of the attack on the firm, help to arrange payment and secure the encryption key that unlocked the data.
Backing up data to one or more external USB drives will not stop ransomware, Mr Laws said.
The only way to guarantee data is protected is to use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) system, a small file server that uses encrypted usernames and passwords to protect data.
The removable NAS can only be accessed using the company's unique encrypted username and password, which is not stored on any Windows machine.
Arrange for a security audit
Mr Laws believes his four clients are just the tip of a ransomware "iceberg": It's likely there are numerous other local victims.
Australian businesses, government agencies, academic institutions, and even law enforcement agencies have been victims of ransomware attacks in recent years, as well as home computer systems.
Mr Laws said all computer users – not just business owners – should have strong passwords on all network accounts and be vigilant checking emails they receive.
He advises scrutinising new email while it's still in your inbox, checking the sender's address before opening it or clicking on web links within it.
He urged business owners to have a reputable IT specialist conduct a thorough security audit to determine if they need to take additional precautions and how best to protect their network and data.
"The people who make malicious software and Trojans are well aware of what security measures IT professionals can take," he said.
"They adapt their virus to counter the safeguards we put in place.
"The IT industry is constantly trying to come up with ways to stay ahead – not always successfully."
Malware 'increasingly sophisticated'
Most ransomware viruses come in the form of a URL link embedded within an email that appears at first glance to be from a legitimate source, such as a well-known phone company or power supplier.
"People open these emails without thinking too much about it," Mr Laws said.
"When you click on links within them, you are basically like saying 'Yes, I want to proceed and install this software'.
"Windows and the various anti-virus products will generally allow you to do so if you choose to do so. Once you open the link, the virus begins downloading in the background, out of sight."
Ransomware first emerged in Russia in 2005.
Newer versions have become increasingly sophisticated, able to disable the computer's antivirus and hard drive backup systems before slowly – sometimes over weeks – encrypting files.
Ransomware can affect Windows-based or Apple iOS machines, as well as mobile phones and tablets.
The software can also encrypt files in Cloud-based services such Google Drive, One Drive and DropBox.
However, once the ransom is paid, there is no guarantee the key will be sent: Many companies have been left out of pocket and with no way to access their files.
Affordable solution foils ransomware
The cost of the NAS, installing the software that runs it and the dual 4-terabyte (TB) hard drives that make up the solution is around $1650 for a single desktop and $150 for each additional computer.
For companies running a server, the NAS solution costs around $2800, depending on the hardware required.
Depending on configuration requirements, the NAS runs two 2TB or two 4TB drives that are specifically designed to run around the clock in a NAS environment.
Hardware or backup failures, intrusion attempts, and maintenance notifications are sent via email to the network manager.
The NAS also has three USB 3.0 ports.
Whenever an external drive is connected to a port, all backup data is automatically copied to the external drive from the NAS.
Once the copy/transfer is complete, the user receives a notification email telling them the drive can be removed from the network – ideally to a separate location.
This procedure guarantees safe data backup, proactive notification, and offsite and onsite protection.
