We are able to help patients who are referred to us with implant problems for advice, treatment, or re-treatment.
We treat many patients every year who have been referred to us with bone loss as a result of failed implant treatments who have not been able to find treatment elsewhere.
Peri-implantitis is an issue which is becoming more common, simply because more and more patients have been treated with dental implants over the years. Sadly, we often find that the cause of the implant problems these patients have is as a result of low cost and inadequate implants or implant components!
We want patients to have an improved quality of life from their treatments, which is why Dawood & Tanner Implant treatments only use high quality implants and implant components which are assembled in our in-house laboratory, thus making them highly successful and rarely subject to failure. We also ensure that our patients understand the commitment they need to make in maintaining their implants with regular hygiene and check-ups.
Other contributing factors to Implant Failure
Implant failure is a little more common at the back of the mouth, where the jawbone tends to be 'softer' and there may be less bone available. Implants that fail outright usually do so before the definitive crown and bridgework restorations have been completed.
Other factors that increase the chance of implant failure and peri-implant problems are:
- High biting forces from clenching or grinding teeth ('bruxism') which can cause bone loss around implants
- Smoking - someone who smokes may have poor bone quality and a poor healing capacity, and that can mean that an implant simply does not 'take'
- Patients with diabetes can have slower healing rates, which can inhibit osseointegration
- A patient who is not in the best state of health or has dental or gum problems near the implant, can be more prone to having problems with their implants
When there is substantial bone loss, it usually leads to complete failure of the implant and restoration. This can make re-treatment more complicated, but we will endeavour to find an appropriate and effective solution.
Gum disease itself does not seem to be a cause of peri-implantitis, as some patients with very severe gum disease have had no problems at all with their implants, whereas patients with no previous gum issues can develop the condition.
Initially there can be many similarities with periodontal (gum) disease around teeth, for instance, the first sign of a problem may be soreness or bleeding from the gum – 'mucositis'. Treatment at this stage may prevent progression to peri-implantitis, when progressive bone loss starts to become an issue, and can ultimately lead to catastrophic loss of the supporting bone as well as the implant or implants. Peri-implantitis can take years to develop, and progresses slowly, sometimes in fits and starts.
If inappropriate materials or techniques have been used, this may only become evident later on, which is why it is always best to ensure that you have the best possible implant treatment right from the outset.
Treating peri-implantitis can be extremely challenging.
We begin with meticulous hygiene to improve comfort and slow down the progression of the condition. This consists of meticulously cleaning under the gum of the implant using ultrasonics and jet-polishing. There may also be grafting with bone scaffold materials in order to replace the missing bone tissue or thicken the surrounding gum. This treatment can calm the peri-implant condition, allowing for survival of the implant crown or bridgework.
If the problem is persistent, or there has been advanced bone loss, then there is little alternative but to remove and replace an ailing implant, which will also mean the loss of the implant restoration. In these circumstances, this may be accompanied by a great deal of bone loss, although we will generally find a solution which may involve the use of grafting, special custom implants such as Zygomatic implants, or specially made short implants.
Implant treatments are a lifelong commitment, it is important to also consider the potential for short-term failure or longer-term problems, and to do your utmost to maintain your implants with daily care and regular hygiene appointments. These highly biocompatible materials and precisely engineered implant parts make a great difference to the long-term outcome of your implant treatment.

Chevvai Bhagavan is worshipped in the town of Vaideeswaran Koil which is also called Thirupullirukku Velur. Sambathi, Jadayu, Lord Muruga, Suriyan are also reputed to have worshipped in this sthalam. Even diseases that could not get cured by Mani Manthira Aushathangal got cured at this place and the presiding deity came to be called Vaidyanathar. His consort who was the chief of women of both worlds is hailed as Thayal Nayagi. Selva Muthukumarasami of this temple is lovingly called Muthiah. Kumaragurubarasami wrote the book "Muthukumarasami Pillai Thamizh".
History of Vaitheeswaran:-
Once, when Lord Shiva was in deep meditation, perspiration from his third eye fell on earth. The male child that was born of this sweat drop was Angaragan (Chevvai). Angaragan married Sakthi Devi of Avanti town and had a son called Sumarasan. Problems from wife/children/brothers, enimity with friends, loss of wealth, quarrels, problems with Govt., lasting poverty, anger, bad friendship, Kalathira Dosham are because of Chevvai. By praying to him, a person can offset the problems arising out of his afflictions. Brothers and sisters, physical strength, victory, valour are the beneficial aspects of this planet. The sthalam of Chevvai Bhagavan is Vaideeswaran koil, which is located 6kms from Sirgazhi en route to Mayavaram. His wives are Malini, Susilini. The presiding deity are Vaidyanathan and his consort Thaiyal Nayaki. Chevvai is the Lord of Mesha and Vrichika Rasi and he faces South direction. The Adi Devatha is Boomidevi; Prathyathi Devatha is Kshetra Balagan; his colour is red and his vahana is the ram. The grain associated with him is thuvarai; the flowers - shenbagam and red arali; fabric - red cloth; gem - coral; food- rice mixed with toor dhal powder.
It is said, pul(bird), Rig(once among the four vedas) and Vel(Lord Subramanya) worshipped Lord Shiva in this temple and hence, the village is known as Pul Rig Vel Oor(Oor means village - Pullirukkuvelur). Lord Rama, Lakshmana and Saptarishis(Seven important saints) had also worshipped the presiding deties of this temple. Pujas are being performed every day for six times, Usha kalam at the dawn and artha yamam, late in the night. Karthikai(star) is being celebrated in grandeur and Bhrahmotsavas are being celebrated in the tamil months Thai and Panguni every year. Before waging war against the demon padmasura, Lord Subramanya was blessed by Lord Shiva and goddess pervathi here by offering bouquet and this festival is being celebrated every year in the name skanda sasti.
Vaithyan means physician in tamil. Hence, here Shiva is known as Vaithyanatha, the supreme healer. His consort thaiyalnayaki accompanied to assist him as a nurse, bearing a pot on her head which contained thilam(herbal essence) and goddess parvathi is known as Thaila Nayaki(now she is known as Thaiyal Nayaki). What we use to perform abishek(holy bath) to Lord Shiva joins in the sacred tank of this temple using the way provided and hence, the holy tank inside the temple is known as Siddhamirth(amirth means the elixir and siddhi means sucess) Tirta. Snakes and frogs, it is unique, are unable to survive in the holy tank. By taking bath in the holy tank, the efforts that a devotee extends to get relieved from diseases, would prove fruitful. Tiruchandu Urundai is the prasadam being offered to the devotees here and it is made of medicinal clay(being extracted from a pond close to the temple), essence from neem leaves, neem bark-powder and holy ash being collected from Homa Kundam(sacred fire). It is a panacea capable of curing almost all kinds of diseases that an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva suffers from. Netirapadi chandanam is the other prasadam being offered to the devotees. It is nothing but sandal paste mixed with saffron and it gets medicated powerfully when it is offered to Lord Subramanya.

Vaidyanathaswamy is the main deity here and His consort is Thayyalnayaki ambal. She stands with the medicinal oil to cure the diseases of the devotees. Lord Subramanya, a very important deity here, is known as Selva Muthukumaraswamy. It is to be noted that Chevvai is ruled by Lord Subramanya. During Lord Subramanya's fight with Tharakasuran – brother of Surapadman – there was a lot of casualty on both sides leaving many dead and injured. Lord Shiva obliged Lord Subramnya's prayer to treat the injured.
The Sthala vriksha, the sacred Neem (Margosa) tree, is in the eastern outer corridor. The important Teertham known as Siddhamurta Teertham is a big tank lying south of the temple of the Goddess in the southern corridor. There are several deities like Sri Nataraja, Sivakami, Durga, Sun, Angaraka, Sapta Kannikas, 63 Nayanmars, etc., in the southern corridor. There is also another Teertham known as Jatayu Kunda near-by where it is believed that Rama and Lakshmana cremated Jatayu. There are images of Rama, Lakshmana, and Vishwamitra. Vasishtha and Jatayu near the Kunda. Singaravelar, Ayyanar, Mariamman, Draupadi, Bhikshatanar and Angaraka are the other Deities enshrined near-by.
The Chevvai dosham (malefic effect) caused by unfavourable position of Angarakan or Chevvai in the horoscope may manifest as aggressiveness, tendency to get into unnecessary arguments or jealousy in the native. It can also result in loss of money, physical injury or even imprisonment. Chevvai dosham is rectified by performing parihara poojas (appeasement poojas) to this deity. Devotees may perform Angaraka Pooja to get rid of financial crisis. Worshipping Chevvai here helps in neutralizing the negative effects. Offerings of red cloth and Bengal gram or kadalai paruppu are made to Chevvai here. Tuesdays are special days here as Chevvai is associated with that day of the week.
Speciality of Sri Vaidyanathar Temple, Vaitheeswaran koil:-

There are two flag posts-Kodimaram before the presiding deity made of silver and gold. Navagrahas the nine planets are generally in the front side of the sanctum facing different directions in Shiva temples. Here they are behind the sanctum on a straight line obeying the presiding Lord blessing the devotees freeing them of their adverse aspects, it is believed.

The nectar used for the abishek mixed with the holy spring. 18 theerthas are mixed in this tank which cures all diseases people suffer from. When Sage Sadananda was performing penance here, he saw a snake trying to devour a frog. As the incident disturbed his penance, he cursed them. Since then, no snake or frog comes near this tank.

Siddhamruta Theertham:-
A big tank opposite to Ambal's shrine, is known to have medicinal property. Devotees believe that taking bath in these waters cures them of their diseases, especially skin diseases. Angarakan was cured of his leprosy after a dip in the holy water here. It is also known as Goksheera (Go means cow and ksheera means milk) Theertham, as Kamadhenu's milk flowed into this tank when she performed abhishegam to the deity here with her milk. It tastes sweet like a cane juice and hence known as Ikshusara (ikshu means cane and sara means juice) Theertham. Jatayau had his bath here and hence it is also known as Jatayu Theertham. Devotees buy jaggery from one of the many shops outside the temple and dissolve it in the water here. However, these days the temple administration is very conscious about keeping the water clean and discourage this practice. A separate bin has been placed near the temple tank to deposit the jaggery. After a dip in the tank or prokshanam (sprinkling water on ones head), have the darshan of Vinayakar and then offer salt and pepper opposite to Ambal's shrine. You could buy the Silver plated body organs and deposit in the Hundi. This is supposed to cure all diseases.

Selvamuthukumar, Gajalakshmi, Natarajar, Durgai, Dhanvantri, Dakshinamurthy, Sattanathar, Jatayu Kundam and Angarakan (Utsava murthy) are all there as you do the pradarshanam (cicumambulation) of Lord Vaidhyanathaswamy.
Jatayu Kundam-pit:-
Jatayu the eagle engaged in the service of Lord Rama was killed when he prevented Ravana from abducting Mother Sita. As requested by him, Sri Rama performed the last rites for the bird in the Vibuthi Gundam here. A king, Veerasenan by name came here with his son suffering from tuberclosis , bathed in the theertha and offered sweet nivedhanas. He consumed the nivedhana with his son. His son was cured completely.
As a beloved son of Lord Vaidyanatha and Mother Thaiyal Nayaki, Lord Muruga in the temple is praised as Chella Muthukumaraswami – Chella-beloved. The Prasad containing items used in the Arthajama Puja as described above is an effective medicine for various diseases devotees suffer from. Lord Muruga enjoys all prominence in the temple. Hence all festivals are dedicated to Him.
Pujas to Lord and Mother are offered only after pujas to Lord Muruga. A 10 day festival is celebrated in January-February beginning from Tuesday. 28 day Panguni Brahmmotsavam is celebrated in March-April. Of the Navagrahas (9 planets) importance temples in the state, this belongs to Mars-Angaraka. Lord Muruga is facing west. A medicine prepared with sacred ash, anthill sand and oil is an effective medicine for leprosy.
Lord Muruga is always worshipping His divine Father and Mother in the temple. While the Navagrahas are generally seen in the front side of the sanctum sanctorum, they are behind the presiding deity here. Lord Rama had worshipped in this temple. Mother Thaiyal Nayaki ensures the welfare of the children. Planet Angaraka-Mars blesses the devotees on his Goat Vahan on Tuesdays. Medical students pray here to pass their exams with distinction.
Nethrapidi Sandhanam and Thiruchandu Urundai are two of the prasadams which are believed to cure all ailments. Thiruchandu Urundai or medicinal pellet was given by Vaidhyanathaswamy to Angarakan to cure his leprosy. It is prepared from the Homa Kundam. Nethrapidi Santhanam is a paste made by mixing sandal powder and saffron with water. This is applied on Muthukumaraswamy's forehead before being given as medicine.
The Chevvai dosham (malefic effect) caused by unfavourable position of Angarakan or Chevvai in the horoscope may manifest as aggressiveness, tendency to get into unnecessary arguments or jealousy in the native. It can also result in loss of money, physical injury or even imprisonment. Chevvai dosham is rectified by performing parihara poojas (appeasement poojas) to this deity. Devotees may perform Angaraka Pooja to get rid of financial crisis. Worshipping Chevvai here helps in neutralizing the negative effects. Offerings of red cloth and Bengal gram or kadalai paruppu are made to Chevvai here. Tuesdays are special days here as Chevvai is associated with that day of the week.

Naddi Shastram:-
Naadi Shashtra or Palm leaf Astrology is an ancient Indian method of recording data. It is believed that by reading through the writings on these leaves one can learn about one's past, identify the present and predict the future. It is said that thousands of years ago, the great sages of India had the power to look into the past and future of the entire universe. It is believed that they done this and recorded the life of each human being who has lived, is living and of some one who is yet to be born.These predictions were written on palm leaves in an ancient Tamil script, which can now only be deciphered by expert Nadi astrologers.
Naadi in Tamil means in search of. It is believed that an individual goes in search of his details of his past and seeks to know more of the unknown future. Hence it is a search. These palm leaf inscriptions are scattered throughout India. Some of these inscriptions can be found in Tamil Nadu.
These ancient scripts were standardized, ordered and classified in Tamil Nadu nearly 1000 years ago during the reign of the Cholas in South India. There are a number of Nadis who are named after the rishis. They are the Agasthiya Naadi, Suka Naadi, Brahma Naadi, Kaushika Naadi and others. There are only a few Naadi readers available who can interpret the inscriptions that are written in in poetic Tamil.
Each Naadi or set of leaves is made up of ola or palm leaf, written in Vatta ezhuthu, a Tamil script, with a sharp, nail-like instrument called ezhuthani. Rubbing peacock oil on auspicious occasions preserves the palm leaves.
These palm leaves are still preserved in the Saraswati Mahal Library in Thanjavur. The primary centre for Naadi Shastra is in Vaitheeswaran Koil.
The palm leaf inscription of an individual can be identified as being meant for the person by lifting a copy of one's thumb impression. It is well known that the whirls and loops of the fingers of people on the earth are unique and they cannot be replicated. It is believed that these prints are classified into 108 types. The Naadi palm leaves are arranged according to these types. The Nadi readers identify the particular types of lines on the thumb and finding the corresponding set of palm leaves are taken. The time duration to pick up your leaf depends upon the identification of the thumb impression. Some impressions are identified easily and the corresponding leaves are found soon, there are others that may take months or even years to locate.
The leaves are not just records for Indian nationals but also for people of other nationalities, religions and creeds. It is also stated that about 40% of the people in the world are likely to get these results. The other leaves might have been damaged or may have been lost in the course of time.
Origin of Naadi Sastram:-
The origin of the Naadi inscriptions can be traced back to approximately 2000 years ago. It is said that the ancient Indian rishis or sages had written the life patterns of each person on palm leaves using their yogic and intuitive powers.
During the British Rule, the British sold these leaves to the locals who were interested in getting them. People belonging to the Valluvar community in Tamil Nadu and were specialized in astrology bought most of these leaves. The astrology families in Vaitheeswaran Koil also acquired some of these. The leaves were found in Vaitheeswaran Koil around the 13th century. Those interested in Astrology realised their values and copied the contents on palm leaves and made exact replicas. These leaves have been handed down over generations to make predictions about the future. They earned their livelihood through Naadi Shashtra. They got trained by their elders to do the reading.
The then Mahratta king Sarabhoji and Chola Kings patronized this form of astrology and translations. It is said that the Naadis had originally written on animal skins and it was later copied on palm leaves.
The primary centre for Naadi Shastra is in Vaitheeswarankoil, near Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu, a state in South India. Here Lord Shiva is said to have assumed the role of a vaidhya or doctor, who alleviated the miseries of his devotees.

Maserati's Chicago Booth Is as Boring as it Gets
Not even a new special-edition model...by Ciprian Florea, on
Today's automotive market is based on clearly defined rules that are known to have worked for decades (for the most part at least), but some carmakers take the unbeaten path from time to time. For instance, a few companies, usually from the luxury market, opt to unveil their new cars at private event or happenings that take place between major auto shows. That's simply because they don't really need an auto show to advertise their cars. This is the kind of attitude that brand's like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce have, and it's perfectly understandable. But it doesn't always happen like that and that's when the automotive business become weird and confusing. And the latest example is Maserati's decision to bring its entire lineup to the Chicago Auto Show.
There's nothing wrong with doing that, but the issue is that Maserati has nothing to show for at this point
The Italian manufacturer has five vehicles on display in the "Windy City," including a Ghibli S4 Q4, Quattroporte S Q4, Quattroporte GTS, two Levante S, and a GranTurismo MC, whih covers its entire offering as of 2018. There's nothing wrong with doing that, but the issue is that Maserati has nothing to show for at this point. Sure, the Ghibli, Quattroporte, and GranTurismo gained small updates for 2018, but the new features are barely noticeable. So why is Maserati attending a small event that likely doesn't help with marketing in the absence of a brand-new or special-edition model? I don't have an answer to this question, but it's a strange attitude coming from a carmaker that usually only goes to big auto shows and self-made fancy events.
Granted, some people will probably be happy to see some Maseratis on the show's floor, but I still don't see how the company's presence here is good for business. Stranger things have happened though...

Room: Montreal 6-7
Roger Haston, Chief of Analytics, PetSmart Charities of Canada
Animal welfare is changing rapidly, as the types and complexity of the problems we now face have less to do with sheltering and more to do with people, pets and the communities that they live in. Many of the metrics and constructs that we have used in the past no longer reflect the work that is being done. Further, animal welfare has struggled to engage and incentivize governmental agencies to spend money on animal-related issues. This is in part due to a narrative that is narrow in perspective and lacking more holistic aspects of community development.
The concept of social capital was developed by Robert Putman in 1969 to understand how to improve and strengthen democracy in Italy. Since then, the field has been expanded into economics, community development and many social issues. In this talk we will re-examine animal welfare through a social capital perspective to understand how this framework might allow a more robust pathway and understanding for the future of animal welfare and how to create a broader community model around pets and people.
- An understanding of the social capital model.
- A broader understanding of how social capital can be utilized in animal welfare.
- Key pathways for utilizing social capital to improve the lives of people and pets.
Dr. Roger Haston received a PhD in geophysics from the University of California Santa Barbara and an MBA in finance from Rice University. After working for Amoco and Arco in Houston, Dr. Haston moved to Colorado in 1998 where he started and grew a successful business in geophysical data processing. He had a strong desire to give back to the community and became involved with the Humane Society of Boulder Valley as a volunteer, Board member and Board chair. He also worked with both for profit and non-profit organizations on strategy and leadership development, with a strong focus on creating mission-driven organizations. His passion for helping animals continued to grow and, in 2012, he committed himself full time to animal welfare and took over as Executive Director at the Animal Assistance Foundation where he has merged his passion for science, business and people to help the animals of Colorado and beyond. He has recently joined PetSmart Charities as the Chief of Analytics. He also serves on the boards of National Council on Pet Population and Shelter Animals Count.

I bought this amp brand new and have had it only a short time but I have figured some things out.
This amp comes equipped with a Celestion Vintage 30 16ohm speaker and "Ruby" tubes. From what I read of the Rubies they could be anything.
I found that the amp was missing a considerable amount of bottom end in stock guise when plugging the guitar (SG Standard) straight into the amp. I was anticipating that as others have noted this about it too.
Two simple remedies that people suggested were to replace the stock preamp tube and get a booster/equalizer pedal.
I have done both and OH MY GOD this thing is on fire now. The Ruby Tube is gone, replaced with a Tung Sol 12AX7. That added some bottom end and a serious amount of gain. Serious. Almost too much.
I also added a Boss GE7 in front of the amp. That definitely gave it the bottom end it needed. Sounds amazing now. Done and done. I imagine plugging into a good 4x12 will be heaven at this point.
I haven't tried the GE7 in the effects loop yet but it works great in front of the amp.
Now I'm finding that I need to tinker and dial in my sound. The Tung Sol and GE7 have added a lot of flexibility in how to set it up.
Interestingly, I find that the ISF dialed left (the US side) sounds like a Marshall (which I love) and dialed right (to the British side) cleans out the Marshall sound. Lol. At least it has the Marshall sound in there.

'Tis the season for festive decor, family and friend gatherings, time-honored recipes, and holiday-inspired coffees. I look forward to the first day of November every year. It's the day coffee baristas start creating the classic flavors of the season I've come to adore: pumpkin spice, gingerbread, mocha peppermint, and eggnog. There's no limit to the holiday flavors baristas create this time of year.
And while my taste buds rejoice at the first taste of the holiday-inspired coffees, my wallet isn't such an adoring fan. Repeated visits to the coffee shop to sip on my favorite holiday flavors can quickly add up.
Last year, I decided that a solution to my coffee-loving-wallet-hating dilemma must be found. There must be a way to enjoy my favorite holiday flavors from the coffee shop without having to actually visit the coffee shop. I'll admit the idea of making a specialty drink like a flavored latte at home sounded intimidating, until I discovered the Nespresso® by KitchenAid® with Milk Frother.
With the help of the Nespresso® by KitchenAid® (okay, really the Nespresso should take all the credit, but we'll just say "help" here), creating a specialty holiday-inspired latte is effortless. While I've been able to create many latte flavors, using simple, inexpensive ingredients from my kitchen, let's talk about just two of my favorite holiday-inspired flavors.
To make both drinks, flavorings like spices and/or cocoa, are whisked into milk. Once the milk and flavorings are combined, the flavored milk is added to the frother where the latte "magic" begins.
After a minute in the frother, the milk is ready to be poured into a mug. The mug is then placed under the Nespresso®, and a Lungo capsule (110 ml / 3.7 oz) is inserted into the machine. Within seconds a specialty, holiday-inspired latte is ready to be enjoyed. Simple, right?!
Using this simple process just about any specialty latte can be made in your Nespresso® by KitchenAid®! What will you make?
Be sure to share your take on these holiday-inspired lattes with us on Instagram using #MadeWithKitchenAid for a chance to be featured.
Homemade Eggnog and Mocha Peppermint Lattes
Makes 1 latte per recipe
For eggnog latte
1/2 cup eggnog
1/4 cup whole milk (skim, almond, or coconut milk also work)
2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, depending on sweetness desired
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 Lungo Nespresso Capsule
For mocha peppermint latte
3/4 cup warm whole milk (skim, almond, or coconut milk also work)
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8-1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, depending on the peppermint flavor desired
1 Lungo Nespresso Capsule
For eggnog latte
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the eggnog, milk, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
For mocha peppermint latte
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the warm milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract.
For the steamed milk
Pour the milk mixture into the Nespresso® by KitchenAid® Milk Frother and press the button once for steamed milk. Once steamed and frothy, pour the milk into a large coffee mug.
For the latte
Place the Lungo Nespresso Capsule inside the Nespresso® by KitchenAid® and fill the water tank. Place the mug under the espresso drip and turn the dial to the Lungo setting, dial 5 (110 ml / 3.7 oz). Once the machine stops brewing, remove the latte from the machine. Enjoy the latte warm!
For an extra treat, serve the eggnog latte with whipped cream and a pinch of nutmeg, or serve the mocha peppermint latte with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies.

Older Windows XP Pro SP2/Windows 6 hard drive infected with Adobe Reader X 10.1.1. Used Spybot S&D scan and looked gone, only to find again on re-boot. Scanned w/,ThreatFire, ClamWin, McAfee free versions to no avail. Using TF and Avira w/ Sygate Firewall free real time versions but acquired anyway. Please suggest a known program for removal, as well as better protection. Realize Adobe Security Bulletins recommended downloading Adobe Reader 10.1.2 and another for 9 versions for older computers, but that is now a Monday Morning quarterback issue for me. Thanx and much obliged for responses of known, real solutions. I'll be watching here.
6 Comments
If you acquire this Adobe Reader X 10.1.1 Update from a fake email messages that masquerade as legitimate sofwtare upgrade from Adobe then I am 100 percent sure that it was part of the Braviax family of Trojans.
Make sure that database is update and you run the scan in safe mode of Windows. My second recommended anti-malware (based on my experience) is Superantispyware. It may catch other threats not detected earlier.
Lastly, run TDSSKiller or Norton Power Eraser to eliminate rootkit Trojan that is associated with Braviax.
Thank you tintin98… I acquired it as an adobe red icon appearing on my task bar, simulating an automatic update. Have learned it is referenced on the internet as w32.fakeupver.trojan in Softpedia and other tech forums (posted below). Still no one has a recommend fix–Adobe Security Bulletins recommend AR X 10.1.2 download but don't know if that will overite/fix? No instructions on internet for virus name. One posted stated Malwarebytes tried/failed.
Security researchers from Vietnamese security vendor Bach Khoa Internetwork Security (BKIS) have identified a computer trojan, which copies itself over the update components of popular software. So far, Adobe Reader and Java Runtime have been targeted.
The malware, which Bkis has named the W32.Fakeupver.trojan, is written in Visual Basic and uses the technique to fool even experienced users. Malicious Trojans that employ file names similar or identical to known components in order to hide their process and startup routine are not new.
However, this trojan also imitates the icons and versions of the targeted programs. For example, checking the version information on the fake AdobeUpdater.exe file will show the developer as being Adobe Systems Incorporated and a "Copyright (c) 2002 – 2010 by Adobe Systems Inc" notice will also be displayed.
Version information of fake AdobeUpdater.exe
Enlarge picture
Furthermore, the researchers point out that the malicious executable is overwriting the original file, thus breaking legit functionality and making it harder to detect. "Ordinary users, sometimes even virus researchers themselves, are easily 'fooled' and skip such malware without raising an eyebrow," said Nguyen Minh Duc, senior security researcher and security director at BKIS.
The trojan creates a registry entry called Adobe Update Manager under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run pointing to where the legit AdobeUpdater.exe should normally reside. Otherwise, a file named AdobeUpdater.exe appearing in a process or startup listings with a different path would look very suspicious.
After infecting a computer, the trojan starts several services if they are not already running, including DHCP client, DNS client and network share. It also opens a special port in order to listen for commands from the hackers.
Adobe is not the only company whose products are targeted by this threat. The update component from Oracle's newly acquired Java Runtime Environment is also masqueraded and deleted. BKIS has seen a variant of this trojan using the "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jucheck.exe" path and file name."
Did you ever find the fix?
I simply open the task manager, look for AdobeARM.exe, (that will do 300,000kb + of memory usage if you don't stop it or has been operating for some time) and terminate the process. This isn't a REAL solution, but for now, it helps, because if you don't do this, the virus will consume so much space that it will make your computer hang.
Ever notice that it uses a small star instead of the adobe symbol? I've been trying to get rid of it for weeks. Still working on it. If you remove Adobe altogether, it tells you to update auslogics, or irfanview, or some other program. It also likes to hide files, and/or move them around. I thought it would help to install Comodo–and now it has tricked Comodo into doing some of its dirty work.
No answers, yet.
Nice to know it's really out there and not just in my head!
I read about a wonderful program a while back in a forum that a couple of Geeks recommended Its called WinPatrol. You can Google it. It sits in your system tray and monitors what your computer is up to. Every time Flash or Adobe wants to do an update without my knowing about it, it pops up a window and asks me if I'd like the update to go through.
If you have run-away updates occurring on your computer take a look at this small very useful program. There's a free and paid version. I went with the pay version since I was so impressed. Your choice though.

This is a very hard to find automobile fender flagpole and pole top which could be used by just about any organization. It's suitable for officer's pennant of the Army, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, SS, SA, NSKK, NSFK, NSDAP, and so on. There are 2 extra clips attached as well. The top is a nickeled swastika in a ring, which was most often used by the NSDAP but again is suitable for most organizations. The lower section of the pole has a threaded post and wing nut, which allows the pole to be mounted on the auto fender. A choice and impossible to find original!

Oracle's Larry Ellison Taunts HP's Ray Lane and Leo Apotheker
In the tech industry's latest version of a World Wrestling Entertainment event, Oracle co-founder and CEO Larry Ellison dared Hewlett-Packard's board chairman and new CEO to testify in court over a suit that Oracle brought against SAP.
Ellison issued a statement (see below) in which he maintained that the new HP CEO, Leo Apotheker, was knowledgeable about theft of Oracle's intellectual property while he was an executive at arch rival German software maker SAP.
The suit, filed in 2007, alleged that an SAP company, TomorrowNow, infringed on Oracle copyrights. In August, SAP proposed a quick end to the suit. SAP copped to the basic charges but disputed Oracle's claim that it suffered more than $1 billion in damages (see ZDNet's coverage for a more in-depth view). Oracle's lawyers apparently don't agree with SAP's request for a quick end to the litigation.
Ellison's stance on the Oracle-SAP lawsuit may be influenced by the recent executive shuffle that brought Apotheker to HP.
Ellison hired expelled HP CEO Mark Hurd as president of Oracle. HP sued Oracle for hiring Hurd, claiming the former CEO would be taking unfair advantage of his knowledge of the company, but that suit was quickly settled. Hurd gave up some HP compensation to resolve his new employment situation and the two companies went back to competing on the information technology battleground.
Then HP tapped Apotheker as its CEO, replacing Hurd. In addition, HP named Ray Lane as its chairman. Lane was formerly a president and COO of Oracle, and worked directly for Ellison. When Apotheker was announced as HP CEO, Ellison said, HP had chosen "a guy who was recently fired because he did such a bad job of running SAP," and that the "HP board needs to resign en masse."
The Oracle-SAP trial is expected to begin Nov. 1, 2010, the same day that Apotheker begins his tenure at HP.
Following is the statement Ellison issued on Tuesday:
"A few weeks ago I accused HP's new CEO, Leo Apotheker, of overseeing an industrial espionage scheme centering on the repeated theft of massive amounts of Oracle's software. A major portion of this theft occurred while Mr. Apotheker was CEO of SAP. HP's Chairman, Ray Lane, immediately came to Mr. Apotheker's defense by writing a letter stating, 'Oracle has been litigating this case for years and has never offered any evidence that Mr. Apotheker was involved.' Well, that's what we are planning to do during the trial that starts next Monday.
Unless Mr. Lane and the rest of the HP Board of Directors decide to keep their new CEO far, far away from HP Headquarters until that trial is over. If HP keeps Leo Apotheker far from HP headquarters we cannot subpoena him to testify at that trial.
I don't think Ray Lane wants to risk Leo Apotheker testifying under oath as to why he allowed the theft of Oracle's property to continue for eight months after he was made sole CEO of SAP. I hope I'm wrong, but my guess is that HP's new chairman, Mr. Lane, will keep HP's new CEO, Mr. Apotheker, far, far away from the courthouse until this trial is over."
HP stated that Apotheker has "limited knowledge of and role in the matter," and described Oracle's behavior as an "effort to harass him and interfere with his duties and responsibilities as HP's CEO."alt="" creditUrl="" targetUrl=""/>

Dee Yun: (contact-deleteme[at]-deleteme-direman [dot] com) 2013-02-21 10:40:48
I love outrageous claims. You ever meet one of those people that just brag spuriously about everything, but try to pass it off as mere revelation of fact? Like, they start talking about all the books they've read (but when pressed, cannot discuss them), or their vacations to Europe where they rode a motorcycle on the autobahns at over 200 mph (but can't tell you how fast that is in kph), or how they were trained in MMA by UFC champions (but don't know what a keylock is)?
"Destiny is the world's first shared world shooter."
I love the sheer audacity of that statement, especially in light of Bungie's "reveal". They're clearly still trying to figure out what exactly they can pull off, and the presentation was vague and conceptual lacking any substantive details. Except that a giant sphere is approaching the Earth, as opposed to a giant halo.

Stalin, Vol. Ii
Stock information
General Fields
Special Fields
What it took, and what Stalin managed to force through, transformed the country and its ruler in profound and enduring ways. Rather than a tale of a deformed or paranoid personality creating a political system, this is a story of a political system shaping a personality. Building and running a dictatorship, with power of life or death over hundreds of millions, in conditions of capitalist self-encirclement, made Stalin the person he became.
Wholesale collectivization of agriculture, some 120 million peasants, necessitated levels of coercion that were extreme even for Russia, but Stalin did not flinch; the resulting mass starvation and death elicited criticism inside the party even from those Communists committed to the eradication of capitalism. By 1934, when the situation had stabilized and socialism had been built in the countryside too, the internal praise came for his uncanny success in anticapitalist terms. But Stalin never forgot and never forgave, with bloody consequences as he strove to consolidate the state with a brand new elite.
Stalin had revived a great power with a formidable industrialized military. But the Soviet Union was effectively alone, with no allies and enemies perceived everywhere. The quest to find security would bring Soviet Communism into an improbable pact with Nazi Germany. But that bargain did not work out as envisioned. The lives of Stalin and Hitler, and the fates of their respective countries, drew ever closer to collision.
Stalin: Waiting for Hitler: 1929-1941 is, like its predecessor Stalin: Paradoxes of Power: 1878-1928, nothing less than a history of the world from Stalin's desk. It is also, like its predecessor, a landmark achievement in the annals of the biographer's art. Kotkin's portrait captures the vast structures moving global events, and the intimate details of decision-making.

Flashback: Black Men United, 'U Will Know'
There are so many small pleasures in this song that grab me. The first time the hook comes in and you hear these amazing voices in harmony. The depth and power of Gerald Levert and Christopher Williams ("it _taint_easayyyy"). The stunning clear tones of Joe and Brian McKnight. The absolutely devastingly beautiful performance of R. Kelly, who takes that moment – "woo hoo" – to let the message sink in.
But it's Raphael Saadiq and McKnight who choke me up every single time:
And then I got stronger
And tired of the pain
That's when I picked up the pieces
And I regained my name
I love the vulnerability of the couplet- "That's when I picked up the pieces/And I regained my name." It's the heart of the song for me. It's the moment that the song reveals itself to be more than an anthem. It's empathy for black male brokenness makes the whole thing work so that when you hear "you must act like a man" it doesn't feel like judgment. It's recognition. And I regained my name.
The song is hopeful of course, but that undercurrent of profound sadness actually makes its anthemic qualities resonate more deeply. It's literally the struggle to be a whole, healthy black man in song.

How to Get Started With EOS
If you think EOS might be helpful for your business, it's time to engage your leadership team in the discussion. Together, you have two decisions to make:
1. Do we really want to run our business on EOS?
There are some things that the entire Leadership Team will need to do, both individually and as a group. One example is a weekly Leadership Team meeting, called an "Level 10 Meeting™" in EOS.
With so many EOS companies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, ask around in your personal network. Learn from the experiences and suggestions of those companies as you determine the "fit" between EOS and your company.
2. If we decide to implement EOS, which of the two options for EOS implementation will work best for us?
Finding an EOS Implementer™ the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro is not difficult as there are over 15 EOS Implementers in this area alone. Select two or three based on recommendations and your own online research, and set-up a 30-60 minute conversation with each of them – just the CEO and the EOS Implementer.
Then schedule a 90-Minute Meeting with your leadership team and the one or two EOS Implementers you feel are the best fit for your company. This meeting provides an overview of EOS, the EOS tools, and the EOS Process™.
This meeting is an educational event, NOT a high-pressure sales pitch. It's just the simplest, best way for you and your team to learn about EOS in some depth and to connect with an EOS expert.
There's no charge for this meeting and no obligation to do anything more. It's a valuable learning event that will answer all your questions and fully equip you and your team to decide how best to move forward with EOS. One critical output is building consensus within the leadership team on the correct course for your business.
Another option is to "self-implement" EOS, utilizing the Traction© book, free tools available on the EOS Website, and possibly having a leadership team member complete the EOS Implementer Base Camp™ course.
Some companies start out as "self-implementers," then later work with an EOS Implementer to move farther and faster. Others will start with an EOS Implementer, then "graduate" to self-implementation. Some will work with multiple EOS Implementers over the course of the years.
The Bottom Line...
The "bottom line" is that there is no "one size fits all" approach to EOS implementation.
Check out knowledgeable EOS companies in your network, have discussions with your leadership team, research and interview your EOS Implementer options, and have at least one 90-Minute Meeting with your entire leadership team.
Interested in EOS® at Your Company?
Schedule a 30-minute call to discuss your goals.

In 2004, a lay missionary in the person of Ms. Agnes Gatpatan of the Catholic Tokyo International Center visited Sapporo through the kind invitation of Father Jim Mylet of Welcome House.
Ms. Gatpatan gave a talk in different areas of Hokkaido to connect and network help to international residents, non-residents, students, or temporary visitors encountering various problems.
In our private talk during her two-nights stay at my home, Ms. Gatpatan mentioned about how other Filipinos in Tokyo and elsewhere are doing the BLOCK ROSARY of our Lady of Fatima, basically from the Philippine Catholic Christian devotion revering the Mother of Christ. Hearing such wonderful activity, I humbly asked Ms. Gatpatan if it's possible to follow it. She happily agreed and promised to send me a FATIMA which Father Mylet was kind enough to bring from his Tokyo visit few months after our said conversation, henceforth commenced on June 2004.
With the cooperation of some thoughtful and helpful friends, we immediately started the FATIMA on June 2004. This is not an organization or any sort of an NGO/NPO. We are just a handful members who believes in the power of PRAYERS. Moreover, this is one good way to bring back other Catholic faithfuls who can't find a way , time or inspiration to pray due to a different environment and society. Therefore we do the honor bringing GOD's image and atmosphere to someone's home.
This prayer activity also serves the need to pray for our loved ones who has gone to their eternal rest as a sign of our love and respect.
Every person who invited our Lady of Fatima to his/her home gives a voluntary donation of any amount but not compulsory. Then it is handed under the care of Ms. Susan P. Fujita. This becomes the Fatima Fund that will only be used to help any future emergencies that will absolutely need financial assistance, or donate to any fund raisers, victims of natural calamities and sick members who regularly invite Mama Mary.
We also use the fund to celebrate the Feast of Mother Mary, or buy presents for special occassions connected to our Catholic Church events.
Gladly, with the increase of members inviting Mama Mary, I am now creating a new concept on how we could improvise and to reach out to more believers and how we could be of more help to the spiritual needs of everyone.
(Sgd.) Ms. Susan P. Fujita

For nearly a decade, the EU in Lesotho has worked together with Lesotho's Ministry of Social Development and the Lesotho chapter of UNICEF on the Strengthening Governance of Social Protection in Lesotho: Building an Integrated Social Protection System programme. The aim of the programme is to strengthen and integrate the Kingdom's social protection system whose goal is to assist the most economically and socially vulnerable segments of the country's society. This is to ensure that Lesotho's vulnerable receive the kind of sustainable social assistance and services that they need.
A pillar of the social protection strategy is the National Information System for Social Assistance (NISSA), a single integrated web-based database where the socio-economic information on all households in the country is stored to identify vulnerable populations. NISSA will objectively and transparently target and select those sections of the population who are in need of support and thus maximise the impact of the Lesotho's social protection system.

Macular Degeneration as related to Nutrition
Food Additives
Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition affecting as many as 15 million Americans and millions more around the world. The disease attacks the macula of the eye, where our sharpest central vision occurs. Although it rarely results in complete blindness, it robs the individual of all but the outermost, peripheral vision, leaving only dim images or black holes at the center of vision.
The taking in and use of food and other nourishing material by the body. Nutrition is a 3-part process. First, food or drink is consumed. Second, the body breaks down the food or drink into nutrients. Third, the nutrients travel through the bloodstream to different parts of the body where they are used as "fuel" and for many other purposes. To give the body proper nutrition, a person has to eat and drink enough of the foods that contain key nutrients.

Degrees and Certifications:
Mr. Curto
The eighth grade social studies curriculum focuses on American history. The beginning of the year will start with the original 13 English Colonies and examine certain American political and social ideals that were evident in the colonial era. We will then move into the causes of the American Revolution and the war itself. Much of the school year will be spent learning about the formation of the United States Constitution and the design and function of the government. We will study the expansion of the United States throughout the 19th century and the growing division over the issue of slavery and debate over its expansion into new territories. The curriculum will culminate with the causes of the American Civil War, the war itself, and the time period after the war known as Reconstruction.
What you need for class:
Spiral Notebook: Notetaking will be a large part of social studies class. Practicing this skill will help you learn the material, organize your thoughts, and prepare you for high school and college.

An ambitious multi-million coastal protection project earmarked for Fleetwood and Cleveleys has moved a step forward.
The Wyre Beach Management Scheme would see the creation of new rock groynes and increased levels of sand to provide a natural barrier to reduce the power of the waves – and help safeguard more than 11,250 homes.
It would provide an additional layer of protection from the sea, which is forecast to rise in future years, following the the official opening of the new £68m sea wall at Rossall last year.
But in order for the scheme to progress, Wyre Council needs to access up to £22 million of government cash from the DEFRA's Flood Defence Grant in Aid (FDGiA) fund.
Now councillors have moved the proposals forward after agreeing to appoint Preston-based civil engineering firm Volker Stevin (UK) to assist in the preparation of a business case for the coastal scheme.
A Wyre spokesman explained: "Volker Stevin will not be the contractor for the work needed, but they have already provided estimates and other planning stages information which we can use as part of our project."
Wyre would need approval from the Environment Agency (EA) to access the DEFRA cash for the scheme's design and construction.
A council report stated: " To be able to progress the scheme to construction it is necessary to follow the EA's appraisal guidance, which is in accordance with DEFRA policy statement.
"The work requires the assistance of a competent contractor who has significant knowledge of this length of coastline to develop the economic, technical and buildability aspects of the business case."
Wyre says the scheme will help protect the existing sea wall and give it a longer life.
It would reduce the amount of repairs needed and effectively lower the level of the waves

Tougher penalties for food fraud backed
The Environment and Food Safety Committee of the European Parliament voted to approve the draft report from MEP Esther de Lange.
The draft report identified olive oil, fish, organic foods, milk and grains as the top five products most at risk of food fraud.
It called for a definition of what constitutes food fraud, an enhancement of the Food and Veterinary Office (FVO)'s role and resources in food fraud case and official controls for the problem.
Private initiatives to set up anti-fraud programmes should be encouraged and a legal obligation for food business operators to report to competent authorities of fraudulent behaviour could contribute to reveal more fraud cases in an early stage and limit the dangers to public health.
Attitudes of enforcement bodies should move to a policing approach, sanctions should be at least double the amount of the economic advances sought and registrations of food business operators should be withdrawn for repeated offenders, proposed the report.
The next step is getting the full parliament to approve the report early next year.
Ordinary goods marked as organic
Sinn Féin MEP Martina Anderson welcomed the result of the vote in favour of the de Lange 'Food Fraud' report.
Anderson said: "Food fraud does not just occur in horsemeat being labelled as beef. I was shocked to learn of further examples including; marketing ordinary goods as 'organic', selling battery cage eggs as free-range and even road salt being used as food salt.
"It is unacceptable that the potential financial gain for those involved in food fraud is higher than the risk of apprehension and penalties do not present a sufficient deterrent."
The risk of fraud is highest when the risk of getting caught is small and the potential economic gain is big, according to de Lange.
The complexity and cross-border character of the food chain, with the focus on food safety and the national character of controls and enforcement are often cited as contributing to a low risk of food fraud actually being detected.
Accountability target
Anderson said that producers and supermarkets selling meat must be accountable for the quality and standard of the food they sell.
"Included in the my amendments, was a call for increased transparency in the food chain and stronger point of origin labelling, including for meat used as an ingredient in ready meals or other processed meats.
"I was especially gratified to see that one of my amendments highlighting the existence and necessity of regional systems of labelling, such as the case in the North, was incorporated into this report and passed in the vote.
"It is important that producers here are entitled to label their produce as 'Irish' or 'British' if they so wish."

It's the little things, really.
Chopping an onion a bit more slowly, so the pieces are uniform size instead of bludgeoned.
Choosing the less sexy vegetable in season instead of the one we think we want, all the way from Chile.
Seasoning a piece of meat with salt and pepper from chest height, instead of right on top of it, to make sure it tastes good.
And then there's the hot pan.
Before I met Danny, I was impatient to eat. I didn't cook as much as I do now. I certainly didn't enjoy it the way I do now. I thought the point of all this was to put food on the plate, and fast.
How much I missed!
When I started to cook a chicken breast, before I met Danny, I turned on the burner, plonked down a skillet, poured in the oil, and plopped down the meat. All within 30 seconds of each other.
Danny taught me a different way. Want to see what a difference it makes?

Back to Projected Impacts
Human responses to climate change will likely be more important than direct impacts on nature
People will be forced to respond to climate change, such as through changes in where and how crops are grown, energy is produced, and people live. Southern Africa, for example, could lose more than a third of its maize crop by 2030, requiring alternative staples to be grown. Fiji, on the other hand, has allocated entire islands to people emigrating from the Republic of Kiribati, which is losing land to rising sea levels. Such human responses will likely affect birds and other biodiversity more than the direct effects of climate change.
Case Study 1
Considering the impact of climate change on human communities significantly alters vulnerability assessments of IBAs
The set of IBAs projected to suffer the greatest direct impacts of climate change and highest rates of turnover of bird species do not entirely match the set of IBAs likely to be indirectly impacted by human responses to climate change (those with the greatest projected human vulnerability). Setting priorities for adaptation interventions, therefore, needs to account for likely human responses to climate change.
Case Study 2
Bioenergy expansion could drive biodiversity loss without careful planning
The direct effect of climate change on the range sizes of European birds is expected to have an influence of greater magnitude by 2050 than the effect of land-use change for biofuel production. Bioenergy, however, is predicted to have a negative impact on a larger proportion of species–96%–compared to climate change alone, which impacts an average of 37% of species across scenarios.
Case Study 3
Poorly planned responses to coastal flooding have negatively impacted waterbirds in the Netherlands
Habitat loss caused by the construction of storm surge barriers and dams in the Oosterschelde/Krammer-Volkerak delta region of the Netherlands has driven declines in waterbird populations. Although some birds appear to have benefited, more than twice as many have undergone local population declines. The effects of climate change will lead to the construction of similar infrastructure projects which, if poorly planned, could result in substantial wildlife impacts.
Case Study 4
Converting natural habitats to oil palm for bioenergy is bad for both birds and climate change
Widespread use in food production and bioenergy make oil palm is one of the fastest expanding crops in equatorial regions. It is estimated that palm oil plantations take 75-93 years to compensate for the carbon lost through forest conversion, or nearly 700 years if peatland is converted. Avian species richness is vastly reduced in these plantations compared with forest, which highlights the negative biodiversity impacts when biofuels replace natural forests.
