1. Understand that security is a shared responsibility.
It often goes unsaid – and there are two ways to really think about this. The main concept that you need to keep in mind however, is that your security system is only as strong as your weakest link.
No matter how good your security policies are, this becomes meaningless if you (or someone else) is allowed to be lax about their security protections e.g. using weak / no passwords, not using encryption for sensitive data, not taking proper precautions to secure your work station etc.
There are two common types of thinking regarding security responsibility.
- You are the weak link, and think this is ok "because that's a job for the IT / security people". The reality is that you are putting others at risk through you poor security behavior, and this thinking is almost always the cause of over-arching and overly-strict security policy changes from top management.
- You are a strong link, surrounded by weak links that you know about. Meaning you've done your part, so anything else that happens is "someone else's fault" – except when you put your company at risk because you didn't bother to educate or report the issue.
The above points may sound harsh, and they certainly are more cumbersome than simply avoiding the issue. You can also imagine the frustration of coming across this exact same type of thinking time and time again when there is yet another security issue to fix.
2. Check your computer for malware – right now!
When was the last time you ran a malware scan? Most people focus on using antivirus (which is great) – but new malware also crops up all the time, and your automated filters don't always catch them.
If you don't have a malware scanner installed right now, you can easily get one for free using your favorite search engine. THIS ALSO GOES FOR YOUR MOBILE DEVICE – tablets and smartphones are just as vulnerable to malware as desktops, and often even more so because many people don't think about it.
3. Go ahead and change your passwords right now.
If you've been using the same password for over a year – it doesn't hurt to change them, and does a lot for improving your security. Just keep a few things in mind:
- Use a different password for each service you use – this way if one gets cracked, your other services won't be affected. If you have difficulty remembering multiple passwords, you should get yourself a "password manager app".
- Use a complex password that you can remember (yes that does sound like a contradiction in terms) – here is a basic password guide from Microsoft, which also has a tool to test your password strength.
4. Stop using WEP for your wireless security. Change it to WPA or WPA2.
WEP is broken. 100% done. It would take me less than a minute (with my eyes closed) to hack into your wireless network if you're only using WEP security.
Seriously it is that bad – and it only takes 2 minutes to change this option on your router. Do it – now!
Here is a video from Sophos that also dispels some common myths about wireless security. Both home and business users would do well to check it out – especially if you use "network name hiding" and / or MAC address filtering.
Be aware and stay safe!
Help – my web service has been hacked! What do I do?
- You cannot access your website or user account.
- Your website / webpages are defaced.
- Your website redirects to another "unsavory" site, such as a porn or pharmaceuticals pusher.
- Your contacts list notifies you that they have received strange messages from you.
- Google or Bing notifies you that your site / user account / web service has been compromised.
- Accounts, records, or other information is missing or corrupted.
- Your website / web service "behaves strangely" (this is very difficult to describe until you actually encounter this behavior, then it is usually obvious).
- You notice strange traffic on your network or user account (usually a big spike in traffic that cannot be explained).
There are a number of reasons that your web security could have been breached:
- A weak password was compromised
- Malware was used to capture login credentials
- A security vulnerability was found in your computer systems
- Another account / web service was compromised on a shared server / computer resource
Note: a data forensics expert can tell you with remarkable accuracy what was happened, how it happened, with a good chance of identifying the person (or location) causing the breach. This service can be a little out of reach for some people and companies however.
No matter what the case – there are some things you can do to minimize the damage, restore normal operation, and (ideally) close whatever vulnerability that caused the breach in the first place.
Step 1: Stay Calm
Security breaches happen to the best of us at times for any number of reasons. You could easily be the victim of bad luck or circumstance, or some other security flaw or weakness beyond your control.
The point is – there is no point getting flustered. A security breach is not the end of the world, you can recover, and that will happen faster if you keep your head straight.
Step 2: Get Your Website / Web Service Offline Immediately
Depending on the nature of the breach, and what systems are affected. You need to shut down your website or web service before the problem can spread, or otherwise cause more damage (especially to your business reputation).
This can be especially important because Google and Bing can mark your website as compromised, which makes it more difficult to get back to normal operation even if the threat has been removed. It can take days or weeks for search engines to mark your site as safe once they detect malware.
You will know when this happens because when you try to access the site, and you get warning message saying something like "Reported Attack Site!" or "randomsite.com contains malware".
Step 3: Call for Support
This could mean your IT department or system administrator (sysadmin), the support team for your service provider, or a 3rd party professional to take care of the issue for you. You should always have the relevant phone numbers and contact information readily available for these situations.
Yes it is absolutely possible for you to fix the problem yourself (if you have the time and skills). Though most people will simply not have the experience to do this properly, and even fewer IT experts will have the IT security experience to fix what could (potentially) be a rather complicated mess.
Getting experienced people working on this problem will (generally) go faster and smoother than attempting to fix these issues yourself. If you are depending on service provider support, you may consider hiring an outside security expert to do damage control, and close any vulnerabilities exposed by this breach.
BUT – if calling for professional help is really not a feasible option for you, later we will be publishing a separate guide that outlines some steps you can take to cleanup your system so (hopefully) you can get your small business site running again. You can also try your luck scouring Google / Bing for guides on what to do, just try to be as specific as possible when you run your searches.
Step 4: Inform the Right People
Aside from contacting the people who can fix the issue – you may also need to inform your colleagues, customers, or other contacts to let them know what is happening.
People in general are more forgiving if they are informed about what is going on, rather than finding out the hard way that they cannot access your website or web service. Some industries are even legally obliged to contact people potentially affected by the security breach.
Step 5: Smarten Up About Information and Computer Security
Once a breach has occurred, it behooves you to find out how it happened – and then take steps to prevent security breaches from happening again. IT security is a complicated practice at the best of times, but the majority of security threats can typically be avoided through good security behavior and common sense.
There are many websites out there discussing good security practices, and we've also published articles about these topics numerous times. To paraphrase Francis Bacon – knowledge is the most powerful security tool you can possess.
There is no such thing as a "safer" web browser
NSS Labs is a research company that regularly compares the security capabilities of all the major web browsers. According to their latest research – it seems that no one browser is better than others in all areas of privacy and security.
Let's take a look at some of the findings – starting with the phishing URL catch rate:
- Firefox 19 – 96%
- Safari 5 – 95%
- Chrome 25 – 92%
- Opera 12 – 89%
- Internet Explorer 10 – 83%
While Firefox and Safari are at the top of this list, and some of you are likely unsurpised to see Internet Explorer at the bottom of this list (even though 83% catch rate is still pretty good) – this does not tell you the whole story.
Let's take a look at the same browsers, and see how well they block socially engineered malware (using built-in default settings):
- Internet Explorer 10 – 99.96%
- Chrome 25 / 26 – 83.16%
- Safari 5 – 10.15%
- Firefox 19 – 9.92%
- Opera 12 – 1.87%
While these numbers may appear shocking at first glance – you should take a deeper look into how these figures are calculated, how malware blocking affects usability, and how "successful malware blocking" is defined by NSS (pdf link). Ultimately however, Internet Explorer and Chrome are still far and away better than other browsers in this regard.
These discrepancies are mostly thanks to the built-in CAMP (Content Agnostic Malware Protection) technologies now offered by Google (CAMP) and Microsoft (SmartScreen Filter). You should also keep in mind that most computers should have other layers of protection to deal with malware – such as firewalls, antivirus software, and other OS protections.
Internet Explorer is also a clear winner when it comes to default privacy protections – for example while all major browsers offer a "do not track" option, only IE enables this setting by default (which has caused some industry controversy mind you). At the moment however, this feature will generally lack teeth until new proposed legislation forces advertisers to be honest about following this setting.
Since Google and Mozilla (which is subsidized by Google) are so dependent on advertising revenue, it is likely that both Chrome and Firefox will continue to lag Internet Explorer and Safari in this matter.
Safari is considered second best by NSS for default user privacy configuration, though does offer some better protections compared to Internet Explorer. For example Safari actively blocks all third-party cookies, while IE offers only partial blocking by default.
Overall these are still more victories of intent rather than effect, because it is still far too easy for companies to ignore these privacy settings. Again we will have to see what happens to the pending legislation, though clearly both Microsoft and Apple have taken bold action to prove how seriously they take user privacy.
We will just have to wait and see how it all pans out.
Securing Your Email – or Why You Should Stop Using Free Email Services for Business
All emails must be stored *somewhere* until they are retrieved and read. Most email providers (including Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo) will also happily archive all your emails essentially forever (remember when that was a huge selling point?).
Why is this a problem? Well in a perfect world it isn't, and if no one ever cares to read your emails – then it never will be. What if on the other hand you are negotiating a business transaction, or otherwise need to share something sensitive with another person. What if you have been doing this for many years now – then what?
Every single email you have ever sent through your Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo email account is still sitting on their servers, usually stored in plain text, and under the domain of whatever privacy laws exist in that particular country. This means any sufficiently mature email account is a gold-mine for anyone interested in finding out everything they can about you.
Take a look through your archived emails if you want to see what one broken password can reveal about you – or take a look at what happened to Sarah Palin when her personal Yahoo email was hacked.
The email security problem is then compounded when you consider that anything you can do to better secure your email – is inherently going to make your email less useful (or at least less convenient). Unless you really are dealing with a lot of sensitive information (such as business negotiations) or have some need to maintain a high level of privacy (such as being a public figure) – then the benefits may simply not be worth the hassle or expense.
This is certainly a matter of personal choice though, and in either case – people should know what happens when they use email communications – and that there are choices to better secure your email if you want.
1) Stop using free private email services for business
For all the reasons mentioned above – there simply is no good reason to do so, and you should keep your personal and business life separate anyway. Business / enterprise solutions for email are much more secure, and even though they will cost you a little bit extra – at least you can deduct them from taxes as a business expense.
2) If feasible – employ encryption, or use a paid encrypted email service
Setting up email encryption for free is certainly possible, but a hassle to setup for the average user – and it gets difficult to convince all your contacts to use your encryption methods. What good is encrypting your emails if the recipient doesn't want to bother using the decryption key?
Paid services are available which make the encryption process much easier, though there will always be some extra hassle involved. Some popular options for such services (which we strongly urge you to research before using) include: HushMail (US-based), CounterMail (from Sweden), and NeoMailBox (from Switzerland).
Businesses with larger IT budgets will be more spoilt for choice in terms of secure email solutions.
3) Backup your email archive and store it elsewhere
Deleting your public email archive regularly will help make sure that even if someone manages to break into your account, there will be little information for them to exploit. Many backup solutions (both free and paid) are readily available and offer a quick boost to your privacy security.
4) Use a proportional and appropriate response
As we said before – while email is inherently insecure – anything you do to add layers of security will increase the hassle of using email. Paid options are (often much) less cumbersome, but still an extra hassle. You ultimately need to take a close look at what information you really need to communicate via any given channel, and communicate those using an appropriate level of security (and thus extra hassle).
5) Understand that there is no perfect solution (yet)
Believe it or not – there is a relevant XKCD that describes the major flaw with relying entirely on encryption to keep your emails secure. Ultimately if someone is really determined to access your emails, there is a way to do so with enough persistence and advanced knowledge.
Hopefully one day we will have a better solution than SMTP for email communication protocols. Until that day however, you should be mindful of what you communicate via email, and take steps to minimize your exposure as is desirable and feasible for your needs.

This week's adventure took us down to the small island of Koh Samet, just off the coast of Rayong, Thailand. Previous to this I had a few assumptions about Thailand:
1. That old men come here for young women.
2. It's full of piles of filth but for some reason you accept it gladly.
3. People like to party.
Without any hesitation, I can say that all these things still remain to be true. Koh Samet is no exception to the rule. The only addition is, even the "Farang" women go after a nice muscular Thai man!
Koh Samet (or Samed) is gorgeous. It's full of energy, delicious food, and dingy bars/clubs that fit every partiers need. If things get a little out of hand and you're not able to walk up the mountain of stairs to your room at 3am, crawl on the nearest pool table (I'm sure no one would mind too much). The one road that travels from one end of the island to another is complete shit - but makes an amazing ATV trip. Just be careful when you hit a ditch at the bottom of a large hill going full speed. The person on the back of your ATV may have a few choice words for you (and lose their sunglasses). The sand squeaks because its so fine. The fire shows are awe inspiring (even if the little 8 year old boys handling the fire think they're the bees knees).
If you need a cheap weekend you can find a crummy hotel for about 400 baht a night. Just find the mermaid on the rock and you're headed in the right direction. I just hope you don't mind walking up a mountain and using communal bathrooms and showers. It may not be glamorous - but it's a damn good time, and I highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind stepping out of their fancy pants.

Rani Mukerji: When we entered a industry, people suspicion we didn't have a height, looks and voice to be an actor
Rani Mukerji pens a intense note on her birthday
Happy birthday Rani Mukerji: Revisiting a actor's breakthrough opening in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black
Rani Mukerji is behind on a china shade with her latest movie, Hichki, in that she plays a clergyman ridden with a commotion called 'Tourette Syndrome'. While contingent winking and grimacing are mostly seen as a comic gesticulate and socially inapt swear difference and passionate abuses are frowned upon, it turns out that a patients with Tourette Syndrome have no control over these and are mostly mocked for their actions. To strew some light on a subject, we asked some experts what a commotion is all about.
What is Tourette Syndrome?
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological commotion in that a studious has repeated and monotonous contingent movements and vocalisations called tics. Facial grimacing, arm jerking, grunting and sniffing are some of a contingent movements one is probable to make.
Named after Dr Georges Gilles de la Tourette, a pioneering French neurologist who in 1885 initial described a condition in an 86-year-old French noblewoman, there are dual forms of tics characterised in TS–motor and outspoken tics.
What are a symptoms of TS?
The symptoms of TS are celebrated in early adulthood, and benefaction themselves in a form of engine and vocal/phonic tics, according to Dr PR Krishnan, consultant neurologist, Fortis Hospital. Reportedly, some-more males humour from TS than females and a misfortune effects are felt during a teenage years.
What are engine tics?
The word engine implies transformation and engine tics impute to a movements one creates as a outcome of TS. Jaw movements, conduct bobbing, neck stretching, shoulder shrugging, creation eloquent motions like passionate retort movements, hopping, jumping or twirling are a characteristics of engine tics.
What are outspoken tics?
Vocal or phonic tics furnish a sound. They competence engage amiable sounds like sniffing, throat clearing, hooting, grunting and shouting, or in formidable cases, swear words, racial slurs and inapt difference are mostly reported.
Catch a dash of Rani Mukerji's take on TS here.
What is a means of TS?
TS is a formidable commotion and a accurate means is not known. It can be due to genetic or hereditary factors as an particular is some-more expected to have TS if there is a family history, according to a news published by Mayo Clinic.
Other reasons could be low birth weight, cord wrapped around a neck or smoking and celebration by a mom during pregnancy, says Dr PN Renjen, comparison consultant, neurology, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
Here's a video of Ryan Stevens, one of a patients of TS, who shares his conflict with a disorder.
What is a diagnosis for TS?
TS does not respond good to medication, says Dr Renjen who uses one of a common drugs, called Haloperidol to provide a condition. Besides medication, he advises psycho-therapy as a lot of behavioural changes are compared with this disorder.
Some of a famous names with TS we competence know
Dr Renjen says TS need not indispensably have an outcome on a person's IQ and while some patients are mentally slow, others can be really intelligent. Some of a famous names who have had a condition embody mythological composers Beethoven and Mozart, football actor David Beckham, and Dr Samuel Johnson, a 18th century English author.

Most of the summer months are dedicated to storm season. In between the days that are perfect for the beach, with blue and yellow skies, are days full of heavy rain, winds, and flooding, with the occasional–for Upstate New York–hailstorm, tornado, and hurricane. These weather conditions, in combination with increased vacationing travel, road work, and presence of motorcycles and bikes on the roads, contribute to a higher average of fatal accidents taking place in the summer rather than the winter. At times like these, we find ourselves wanting to know how we can maximize driving safety. Below, you will find a list of summertime storm hazards, and ways you can alter your driving to better ensure safety in each of them.
But first, here are a some general staples for driving in severe weather:
Summertime Storm Hazards & Safety Tips
So much in life is unpredictable. Tornadoes and hurricanes may not be so prevalent in Upstate New York, but our summer travels take us everywhere, and we'll never know when situations will call for us to use what we've learned. We can also never be certain that what we've learned will fully protect ourselves in such conditions. In the aftermath, insurance can support you, wherever you are.

Intentional Injuries
Intentional Injuries
Key Findings:
- From 2006 to 2012 the rate of hospitalizations for assault in Middlesex London was significantly higher than the provincial rate. However, in 2013 the rate in Middlesex-London was not statistically different from either Ontario or the Peer Group (Fig. 5.17).
- Males in Middlesex-London experienced a much higher rate of hospitalizations due to assault than females (Fig. 5.16), and also had a higher rate than Ontario males (data not shown).
- Rates of Emergency Department visits due to assault in Middlesex-London where higher than Ontario rates. Between 2008 and 2013 these rates declined significantly (data not shown).
The age group 20-44 had the highest hospitalization rates for assault. In this age group the rates were significantly higher in Middlesex-London compared to the province (Fig. 5.18). For Emergency Department visits due to assault injury the age group 20-44 had the highest rate followed by 0-19 year olds (data not shown).
- The rate of hospitalizations for self-harm increased significantly between 2005 and 2013 in Middlesex-London, whereas Ontario and the Peer Group experienced a significant downward trend until 2011. The rate of hospitalizations for self-harm in Middlesex-London was significantly higher than the Ontario rate from 2007 and onward (Fig. 5.19).
- An upward trend in the female hospitalization rate of self-harm was seen between 2005 and 2013, whereas the rate remained more stable among males. In 2013 the hospitalization rate of self-harm among females was more than twice as high as among males (Fig. 5.16).
- Rates of Emergency Department visits due to self-harm in Middlesex-London were significantly higher than Ontario rates. After a downward trend between 2005 and 2011, rates have since increased significantly (data not shown).
- Males had somewhat lower rates of Emergency Department visits due to self-harm than females, but the difference between sexes was not as big as for hospitalizations (data not shown).
- The hospitalization rate for self-harm was highest in the 10-19 age group and decreased with increasing age. Middlesex-London rates were higher than the Ontario rates in the age groups 10-19 and 20-44, but not significantly higher in older age groups (Fig. 5.20). Rates of Emergency Department visits due to self-harm showed a similar decrease with increasing age (data not shown).
- The rate of death due to self-harm was almost three times higher in males than in females (Fig. 5.21).

Undeterred by promising to end the copy-paste design language, Audi apparently has no problem with hitting imitation-paste on the model lineup.
Autocar reports that when the A3 gets its redesign in 2019, the 3-door variation will be excised from the lineup, for lack of demand.
That's not too big a concern for us Americans, who can't currently buy one anyway, but the go would still be sad in the greater human-family sense, since 3-door hatchbacks are dropping at an alarming pace.
The bigger news in all of this is that the lineup will instead gain a 5-door liftback that could without a hitch come to our shores. This will look a little more like the A5 Sportback, in that it intention be a four-door with the lines of a coupe and hatch that opens from superior to befor the rear glass.
This, it is being argued, will take on the Mercedes CLA, whose star can't be ignored.
Finally, the sedan will stay on, though it will thicken slightly, with more leg room in the rear and a bigger trunk, according to Autocar.
As mentioned upon, expect the next-gen A3 to debut in 2019.

Nova is a cinnicot male, he is 2 years old in July (2015).
So this is where he will need possibly a specialist home he is completely blind and since going blind has become very anti social this is not completely all down to him, it is down to personal circumstances that prevented the owner from being able to handle him, or giving him the time he needs and deserves he went blind six months ago after both eye balls ruptured within a week of each other both eyes have healed nicely and he goes about his merry little way and seems to be able to judge when dinner time is as he sits out and waits in front of his second food bowl for his mealworms and waxworms.
He well come with everything that we have for him as it would be better for him to have everything stay the same.
This little man has been well cared for and well looked after, he has had everything any hog could wish for, only one to one time is missing from his life.
He likes a cricket or two but obviously due to lack of sight they have to be incapacitated.
He only sleeps in shoe boxes witch in winter I add the strawberry to as he finds it easier to find the entrance with a box he has a thermostat and pet nap heat mat a large flying saucer wheel which is the only type he will use
Its probably a lot to ask of someone but he deserves better and deserves to be somewhere he will get the time and attention he needs thank you.
Pictures when Nova was being collected and settling in to his foster home.
Details for Nova - From his previous owner
- Bedding and other washable bits are washed in Surecare washing powder.
- He is blind but knows his way around his cage well. so his layout will need to remain the same.
- I will also eat Iams cat biscuits, however this will make me smell really bad.
- I am not a great lover of veg, however I may give it another go if its offered to me again.
- I love going on my wheel any time of the day or night.
- I have been to the vets only 3 times in my life, every time was to do with my eyes.
- Since going blind I have become a grumpy boy with a tenancy to bite if I am surprised, I like my name being called to warn me you are there before hands come into my cage.
- I like a hand underneath me when I'm bathed and I have a bath in Aveno Oil.
- If you let me walk around on the bed, floor or in a playpen I need watching as I am a speed demon once I'm let go.

June 26, 2010 (CHICAGO) --State officials say they'll waive the $20 fee on state-issued identification cards for homeless people. The law is effective July 1.
The Heartland Alliance is an advocacy organization. It says there are nearly 50,000 homeless people in Illinois and they need state identification for access to many services, including federal and state aid and job training.
The Alliance's vice president, Heidi Nelson, says the law makes it easier for homeless people to have opportunities.
There are several qualifications to be eligible. They include that a person must lack a regular nighttime residence or relies on a shelter.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - As many in the community made their way from booth to booth at the SOAR Summit, Bell County Tourism used virtual reality goggles to draw people in.
The director said they hoped to gather support at the summit for a new trail project.
Vendors set up along the concourse.
Bell County Tourism shared a new vision with the community that includes exploring the mountains and seeing new parts that are difficult to get to.
"There are places back there that are beautiful that you can only see through an ATV or horseback," said Jon Grace, the Bell County Tourism Director.
Grace wants to create an extensive 50,000 square mile trail system in Kentucky.
The system would connect to more than 150,000 miles of Tennessee trails.
"Right now, we are trying to build a support system and we've got some really important meetings set up really soon," said Grace.
To gain community support, Grace brought the outdoors inside at the summit by using virtual reality goggles.
The hope? To give everyone a unique and memorable experience.
"It's a fun way to showcase it when people are kind of spread out, then you can preview it," said Jessa Turner, an attendee at the SOAR Summit.
Right now, Bell County Tourism is in the process of securing land for the trail.

There, he will be humiliated, stood on by several girls and bullied. The fun is at high levels here and the poor guy must suffer in silence because no one will hear him.

That was one of my favorite bumper stickers a few years ago -- and it's even more appropriate today, as more and more employers, states, and now even the federal government are regulating what drivers may do with their cell phones. Just last week, President Obama signed an executive order prohibiting federal employees from texting while driving whenever they are working, whether they are using government-issued phones and cars or not.
State legislators, sometimes in response to well-publicized and horrific crashes, have banned texting in 18 states; it's also banned in the District of Columbia. Although no state currently bans all drivers from using a cell phone, six states require drivers to use hands-free devices if they want to talk on the phone, and almost half of the states ban all cell phone use by new drivers. (You can see state-by-state charts on these issues at the Governors Highway Safety Association website.)
Studies have consistently shown that driving while distracted is very dangerous. An interesting research project by the National Highway Transportation Association and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute studied the behavior of actual drivers by putting video and sensor equipment in 100 cars for one year. And it was a very eventful year indeed: The drivers put more than two million miles on their cars, had 82 crashes, 761 near-crashes, and more than 8,000 "critical incidents," in which the driver either got to close to something or someone (like a pedestrian or parked car) or had to swerve or brake to avoid a crash. Among other things, the study revealed that:
- Dialing is dangerous, but . . . Although dialing a cell phone is significantly more dangerous than simply talking or listening on the phone, the number of accidents and near-accidents attributable to each activity were about the same because drivers spend so much more time talking on the phone than dialing it.
- Bugs in the car cause a lot of trouble. Certain activities that we all know (or might guess) are dangerous, such as reading, putting on makeup, and dialing a cell phone, increase the risk of an accident by a factor of three. Having an insect in the car increases the risk by a factor of seven. And don't try to swat it: Reaching for a moving object in the car increases a driver's risk of having an accident by a factor of nine.
- Experience counts. Drivers with more years of experience had far fewer crashes and near-crashes than less experienced drivers.
- Better drivers just seem nicer. Better drivers -- those with fewer crashes and near-crashes -- scored higher on tests that measure extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness.
- Some people are just really bad drivers. A relatively small number of drivers caused most of the problems. 27 of the drivers in the test were responsible for almost 75% of the crashes and near-crashes. One of them had 15 incidents in one year.
Given the facts on distracted driving, the increasing number of governments that ban texting and hand-held devices, and the potential for liability, many employers now prohibit employees from texting or using cell phones while driving, or require employees to use hands-free equipment. If your company wants to do the same, you can find sample policy language on these issues in my book, Smart Policies for Workplace Technologies.

Branding with Architectural design can leave a strong impression when done with class and simplicity. Scott King is the owner and operator of King Pharmacy. Scott has great vision and a clear sense of taste for good design. We worked with Scott to establish a design that was simple yet created a strong opportunity for branding the pharmacy. This concept had to be adaptable to multiple locations and achievable in a one or two story building type.
King Pharmacy is an example of our ability to economically blend architecture and brand identity with a clear and simple design approach. Scott's business was well established in the area prior to this new design, but his traffic has increased over two fold once the re-branding was completed. Good design and good service has made this investment payback. King Pharmacy operates in multiple locations across southern and eastern Kentucky.

I will be the first to admit that I love my bottled water. It's so easy, and so very integrated and ingrained in my life. I drink more water because of bottled water and I have to say that's not only convenient, but also really healthy. Do I sometimes think, "God, $6.99 for 24 bottles of water every week is crazy!?" Yes, of course I do, but that does not stop me because I am, of course, Robby Johnson. And you know what that means. It means I spend money. Period.
However, in our local paper yesterday there was an article on the significant waste that comes from this industry - like, 38-billion bottles made from 1.5 million barrels of petroleum. I was mortified. My "clean water" is actually creating more waste. And with the revelation that much designer water is bottled directly from a city water supply, the reality that you're getting "more pure" has quickly waned. Fact of life: it's H2O. What gives me the heebie-jeebies about tap water? The funk of the pipe and plumbing system.
Do I still want to filter my water? Sure. I try to minimize my parasitic intake.
The solution? Buy a water-filtering pitcher or install a filter on your tap. (I'm opting for the former since I rent the apartment where I live but, when I buy something, I will go for tap/shower installed.)
Do I need an easy and convenient way to consume my water? Of course! And so I did just what the article suggested and visited www.mysigg.com and in just 7 days, I shall have a glorious new water bottle to carry around. I bought this bottle but added a red top to it instead. Whee!
OK bitches, green-up!

And now an Earthy Message ...

This year's birthday I asked for/received a Pur filter for our faucet. Does that make me sexy or what?

Robbylicious, get thee a water delivery service. I, a bonafide water snob, will not drink tap water unless it is G-U-D. I like yummy water and our water tastes like hairy ass. But we have a big water bottle deliveries, and we refill our little walkabout bottles daily, and the water company refills our bottles for us. Win Win Win!

Featured Workshops
"The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means to be human."
John Naisbitt, Author – Megatrends
Values-Inspired Goal Setting
Do you have trouble making decisions or knowing what to do next?
Do you find it difficult to set and follow-through with your goals?
At the end of the day are you left wondering "where the heck did the time go?",
"what did I actually do today?", or worse yet, "what's the point of all this?"
Too often, we observe people attempting to compartmentalize their lives into the roles they play: boss, mother, co-worker, sister, accountant, caretaker, or husband. There are so many hats to wear and only so many hours in which to get everything done.
Sound like anyone you know?
With all these roles and responsibilities tugging at us, it can become easy to switch into auto-pilot mode…forgetting about what makes us happy, what we value, and what we ultimately desire in our lives. This can lead to frustration and a prevailing sense of dissatisfaction and helplessness.
When we surveyed people who exhibited traits of happiness, purpose and success we found they all had one thing in common. Do you know what that thing is? Nope, it's not a college degree. It's also not lots of business savvy or a big paycheck. It's self-assurance. These people knew what they stood for, what they wanted, and felt deserving of their desires.
Values-Inspired Goal Setting, teaches you practical new skills that will enable you to navigate your career and life with greater confidence, enhanced efficiency, and renewed energy. This is not a cookie-cutter approach. Throughout this one-day interactive workshop experience and post-event follow-up session, we'll partner with you to create a unique roadmap to the future you envision.
You'll come away with:
- Clarity and assurance about what's important to you and what's important about you.
- Clear, actionable and motivating career and personal goals.
- Enhanced communication and decision-making capacity.
- An understanding of the core principles driving the most successful people in society.
- Tools and support to ensure positive implementation of the key concepts.
Here's what one participant had to say:
I attended Kimberly Cope's "Values Inspired Goal Setting" Workshop at a most fitting time in my life–I had left a stable job for the unknown. Attending the workshop helped me feel grounded. I now have more clarity as to what my core values are and how they inform the decisions I make, both big and small. What was also helpful was the follow up session I had with Kim. It cleared up any lingering questions I had. She's a dynamic and engaging speaker who "gets it"–she understands the roadblocks we sometimes experience when connecting our values to actionable goals. I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend the workshop when I did. Thank you Kellie and Kim!

"Cracking" the Communication Code
Interpersonal communication is truly an art, but it's also a science. Effective communication is situational. The "right" thing to say or do in one situation may not be appropriate in another. A message that works with one person falls flat with someone else. Effective communicators have mastered both the science and the art of interpersonal communication.
This fun-filled, half day workshop, Cracking the Communication Code, provides you with a useful guide to developing relationships and motivating people to yield greater productivity, maximized time efficiency, and effective interactions based on innate personality traits.
Personal Productivity
Increase work and personal productivity by getting your work done in less time and with less stress.
- Develop a "personal operating system" for processing work
- Take control of email instead of your email controlling you
- Work individually with a productivity expert who understands your environment, work style and challenges
- Gain an average of 5 to 10 more hours in your work week by implementing the system with the help of a productivity expert
- Productive gains data are based on the results of thousands of participants

Knowles R D, Brockopp D Y: Building rapport; through neurolinguistic programming.
Kango Gijutsu 30(13): 1829-1834, 1984.
Abstract: Explored the basic tenet of neurolinguistic programming theory, concerned with the senses through which people receive information. Visual, auditory-tonal, auditory-digital, and kinesthetic sense modalities were objectively categorized as separate modes for receiving information. The responses of 176 21-47 yr olds in a file-questionnaire setting indicated more preference for the use of auditory-tonal, auditory-digital, and kinesthetic sensory modes than the visual modality.

Good Morning Everyone,
Since Malibu released "SURF GATE" several years ago there have been dozens on companies and countless DIY "SUCK GATE" systems released or built. With the prices of these system significantly increasing over the years. I have used/tested/demoed a large portion of these systems to find out what truly worked the best, sadly IMO I have found that not one size fits all when it comes to these shapers. A system that works great on one boat may not work nearly as well as on another and vice versa. What was needed was a plate that could be adjusted and not only for plate angle but to suit the various angles of the sides of the boat. The most frustrating part is to find the shaper that is ideal for your boat, only to find that it won't stay attached to boat because the angles on the hull.
Wakeballast has created NUFF WAVE what I believe is the only 2 way adjustable system. With a larger surface area to hook more water, an adjustable plate angle, AND adjustable axis suction cups makes this the most adjustable and truly universal system out there. Extensive testing and R&D went into the design of the system and a common sense approach was used as it was created and designed specifically around both the avid advanced rider looking to fine tune the wave but also being budget friendly for those new to surfing.
CHECK OUT THE NUFF WAVE! If you are interested please PM me or POST below any questions as I will be happy to answer any of your questions. If you are interested in ordering one of these systems PM Me and I can get you all setup. We have stock and ready for summer orders.

If the word "resort" only brings visions of summertime fun and relaxation to mind, you are missing half the fun. Minnesota's Sunset Shores Resort not only offers great summertime activities; it offers great wintertime activities such as Ice Fishing on Norway Lake as well.
Norway Lake
With 2,344 acres and over 22 miles of shoreline, Norway Lake is the perfect place to go ice fishing this winter. This proficient fishery is stocked full of plenty of Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Crappies, Bluegill and Sunfish thanks to the four rearing ponds that stock the lake. It is not uncommon to see several ice fishing houses clustered together on the lake, but do not worry—there are plenty of fish for everyone.
Ice Fishing Amenities
Unlike fishing at other ice fishing locations, which leave you sitting out in the cold, fishing at Minnesota's Sunset Shores Resort is ice fishing at its finest. We have large, warm, comfortable fish houses for rent in three sizes. The largest ice house is 10 feet by 24 feet, and it comes with twelve ice fishing holes and six bunks. The medium ice house is 10 feet by 15 feet, and it comes with eight holes and four bunks. The smallest ice house is still a very roomy 10 feet by 12 feet, and it comes with eight holes and four bunks. All of our houses are equipped with warm beds, and barbecues for when you are ready to take a break from fishing.

Lake's Folly is relatively famous for being one of the first boutique wineries established in Australia that preceded the Australian wine boom in the second half of the twentieth century. They also only produce two wines: a cabernet and a chardonnay, both from the Hunter Valley. What is perhaps most unusual is that the sub-tropical steamy Hunter Valley seems so unsuited to cabernet. Their 2001 cabernets vintage is however very good. It had a barny, leathery and peppery aroma, and a palate with soft, opulent length, that perhaps lacked a little depth, but was very pleasant to drink.

Financial Tips for New Grads of Mechanic Training
Career Path : Automotive
Congratulations, you are almost finished your mechanic training. A time for celebration⦠and financial planning.
1. Calculate your âlife pieâ after you become a mechanic
Canadian personal finance guru Gail Vaz-Oxlade recommends that you keep your spending on certain categories within certain percentages:
- spend 25% of the money you make after mechanic training on life
- no more than 35% on housing
- 15% on debt repayment
- 15% on transportation
- at least 10% on saving for the future
Use these guidelines to assess your spending after you become a mechanic. Can you afford your rent or mortgage payment? Do your transportation choices make sense in terms of your budget? Do you even know how much 10% of your take-home pay would be? These are the kinds of questions that it is imperative to ask as soon as you land your first job after mechanic training.
2. Make a budget
Landing your first job after you become a mechanic can give you the impression that your are rolling in cash. Especially after all those macaroni dinners you ate while in mechanic training. But the best way to make sure that your money doesnât just run through your fingers is to make a plan. Thatâs all a budget is, a plan for how you will use each and every dollar of your pay cheque. If that sounds limiting, itâs not. Because a sound budget always includes money for entertainment.
3. Invest in disability insurance and life insurance
Do you think that as a new graduate of mechanic training that you are too young to buy disability or life insurance? Think again. The sooner after your mechanic program that you do it, the better. Insurance is much more affordable to buy when we are young and in good health, savings that continue as we age. So, do yourself a favour and buy some insurance as soon as you become a mechanic.
4. Make a five-year plan
Ok, so youâve become a mechanic, but where do you want to be five years after mechanic training? When youâre in a mechanic program, youâre so focused on one goal â graduation â that you can forget to work on your longer-term plans.
- Would you like to open your own garage?
- Would you like to use the skills learned in your mechanic training to travel to other locations for work?
- Would you like to become a homeowner?
These are the kinds of questions you should ask yourself after you become a mechanic to ensure that your financial house stays in good order.

Dr. Shelby Cooper, a brilliant research scientist, has a good life, with a wealthy husband and two wonderful children. But all of that starts to come apart and the lies about her true identity and her past start to surface. She is being stalked and worse yet for her, her children, especially her teenage daughter, are also being stalked. The stalker frames her for the murder of her ex-lover, and it is up to Jason, Shelby's husband, to find the truth.
This is a spell-binding thriller that hooks the reader in the very beginning, building tension and suspense on every page. The unraveling of Shelby's life is frightening and the more the reader learns the harder it is to decide whether Shelby is a liar or a killer, a victim or the true culprit.
This is a novel which is not easily put aside, and it's also not one that I would want to read late at night. The terror is so vivid and the suspense so great that it's a novel best read in the daylight when you have plenty of time. That being said, my only real disappointment with this otherwise spellbinding novel is that it ends rather too quickly and abruptly. Everything just gets resolved in a blink of an eye so to speak and that doesn't fit with the rest of the pacing. For instance, we don't really learn how Shelby figures out who her stalker is and when she and Jason make their plan to bring the stalker down.
The writing is vivid and intense, drawing the reader right into each and every scene. There are many twists and turns in the plot so that I was kept guessing about who the stalker really was. Readers of mystery thrillers are in for a real treat with Swan Deception.
