Apple has released a Java patch that comes with a detection and removal capability for the most common strains of the prolific Flashback trojan.
The update, for Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard), will kill the malware, which is capable of stealing data and hijacking search traffic, among other malicious actions.
At its peak, Flashback contaminated some 650,000 machines worldwide, according to experts.
The fix from Apple also disables the automatic execution of Java applets, which are most commonly used by the average user to play games and view certain images on websites.
Individuals who want Java to automatically run can adjust their settings by visiting the software's "Preferences" application.
Lion users must make use of Java within 35 days, or it will automatically switch off again.
Security experts supported the inclusion of that capability, believing it to be important considering many computer users run unneeded and out-of-date third-party software, which is then commonly used to exploit their machines.
Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer of anti-malware provider F-Secure, tweeted on Friday: "I like the idea of Safari disabling the Java plug-in if unused for 35 days. Next, we need to do the same on all browsers. For all plug-ins."
Ian Melven, a senior security engineer at Mozilla, responded in a tweet that he and his team are working on similar features for the Firefox browser.
Meanwhile, on Friday, security firm Symantec said it has discovered a trojan that is taking advantage of the same (now-patched) vulnerability in Java that Flashback used to spread.
Known as "Sabpab," the "very low" risk trojan, when installed on a machine, opens a back door that can enable a remote attacker to create new processes, download files, take screenshots or install additional malware.

The Winston-Salem City Council is considering amending the ordinance concerning converting private streets to city-maintained streets. The proposed ordinance change requires that a private street have water and sewer installed and at least 40 feet of public right-of-way to qualify for assistance in bringing the street up to city standards. The list below is of private streets that appear to meet these qualifications. Further investigation by city staff will be required to confirm these qualifications if the ordinance change is passed by the City Council.

"I hate politicians when they're asked, what mistake -- like George Bush was asked after four years, what mistakes have you made? 'I can't think of any.' When Scott Walker comes out and says, 'I messed up. I should have listened first before going out and doing what I did. I won't make that mistake again.' Again, you sit there and, go, 'hey, the guy is comfortable in his own skin.'"Rendell then says:
"And conversely, our guys made a mistake by not -- at that point -- raising the victory flag. They'd accomplished a lot of what they wanted to accomplish, declare victory. Don't get an election that's divisive, that may have an influence on the presidential election. We made a mistake doing that."But Scott Walker didn't say I should have listened first. He said he should have explained and won more popular support:
The mistake I made early on is, I looked at it almost like the head of a small business: identify a problem, identify a solution and go out and do it... I don't think we built enough of a political case, so we let ... the national organizations come in and define the debate while we were busy just getting the job done."He's been very consistent about that. It's Tom Barrett's argument that what the governor ought to do is sit down with everyone, listen, focus, work together, etc. That's not Scott Walker. Walker had a plan, got elected, and put the plan into play. He just wished after the fact that he'd controlled the public discourse better.

DENVER — Over the years, Ryan Deakin has become more than familiar with the Pepsi Center when it comes to wrestling.
Since he was in sixth grade, the Legacy freshman made the yearly trek to the arena to watch the best of the sport sort themselves out at the state wrestling tournament. The ritual has left the lightweight itching for his chance to show his moves at the major-league venue.
On Thursday night, Deakin finally got that opportunity and he did not disappoint. The 106-pounder made quick work of his first Class 5A state tournament match to continue what has already been an impressive first year.
"It's been my dream to be down here," he said. "I just need to keep wrestling as hard as I can to see how far I can go."
Deakin, one of four Lightning state qualifiers, walked out of his first match with an 8-2 decision over Rocky Nava. The freshman showed few chinks against the Northglenn wrestler, but he was not overly pleased with the match. After an explosive opening period, Deakin was disappointed he could not score an escape in the second
"I kind of got frustrated, I kind of died down," he said. "But I'll just get a good night's rest and come back fresh tomorrow."
Legacy's first freshman to qualify for state since 2009 — state-champion Jesse Carlson — will need to be rested as he can be for tonight's match. Deakin will have his hands full facing defending state champion Trent Watson in the quarterfinals.
The Coronado wrestler is undefeated on the season entering the match with a 44-0 record. Even with a daunting task ahead, Deakin's coach is optimistic about his wrestler's chances in his third meeting of the year with Watson.
"The two times he's wrestled him before it's been close," Mike Thompson said. "Ryan lost 6-2 the last time, but at UNC it was only a 2-0 match."
The difference between Deakin's past two matches, from his coach's perspective, was his mental approach. Thompson believes his wrestler was not as aggressive as he needed to be in his last meeting Watson.
"But if he comes out the way he has all year then he has a chance," the coach said. "If he wrestles his match and doesn't get caught up in the atmosphere, then he'll be OK."
Facing Watson again might have Deakin feeling some jitters, but the hubbub of the Pepsi Center certainly has not gotten to the freshman.
"There's been no real difference wrestling here or any other tournament," he said. "It just been another match."
Later in Thursday's first round, Legacy's Donovan Cogil lost a 5-1 decision to Greeley West's Dylan West at 113. Connor Casady at 160 and Skyler McWee at 220, meanwhile, both logged big victories to round out a strong first day for the Lightning.

One of my older posts on Stackoverflow listed some of what I consider to be flaws of C# and/or the .NET runtime. A recent reply to my post posed a good question about one of those flaws, which was that sealed classes should be allowed as type constraints. That seems like a sensible restriction for C# at first, but there are legitimate programs that it disallows.
I figured others would have run into this problem at some point, but a quick Google search didn't turn up much, so I will document the actual problem with this rule. Consider the following interface:
interface IFoo<T> { void Bar<U>(U bar) where U : T; }
The important part to notice here is the type constraint on the method, U : T. This means whatever T we specify for IFoo<T>, we should be able to list as a type constraint on the method Bar. Of course, if T is a sealed class, we cannot do this:
class Foo : IFoo<string> { public void Bar<U>(U bar) where U : string //ERROR: string is sealed! { } }
In this case, there's a workaround by allowing the compiler to infer the constraint by making the method private and visible only when coerced as an interface:
class Foo : IFoo<string> { void IFoo<string>.Bar<U>(U bar) { } }
But this means that you cannot call Bar on a Foo, you need to first cast it to an IFoo<string>, a completely unnecessary step.
In principle, every type constraint that the compiler can infer implicitly, we should be able to specify explicitly. This is clearly not the case here, and there is no reason for it. It's a purely an aesthetic restriction, not a correctness restriction, that the C# compiler devs took extra effort to implement.
And that is why we should allow sealed classes as type constraints.

Bitterly cold weather is on the way in the coming days and the Met Office has issued a warning to mobile phone users.
SNOW ALERT: Weather warning issued for Sheffield as 'Beast from the East' heads towards UK
The weather service has this morning issued a Yellow Warning for snow for much of the country - including Sheffield - and the wintry blast could affect your phone signal.
The weather warning states: "Power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phones, may be affected."
BIG FREEZE: Is Sheffield about to see a repeat of epic record-breaking blizzard which buried city under two feet of snow in 2010?
Sub-zero temperatures which are going to grip the country next week can cause power cables to break and cause power outages.
These outages in turn can lead to a loss of mobile phone signal.
BEAST FROM THE EAST: Gritting teams out in force as Sheffield prepares for big freeze

ISCSI storage gets performance makeover
Vendors, including Ibrix, Mellanox, Alacritech and EqualLogic, are offering juiced-up new iSCSI configurations, while 3PAR, CipherMax and NeoScale boost data security products.
Ibrix and Mellanox debut InfiniBand NAS
Ibrix and Mellanox Technologies have come out with a clustered NAS product that connects to hosts using InfiniBand. InfiniBand is often used in clustered systems in high-performance computing (HPC) environments to connect the members of a server cluster at single-port speeds of 10 Gbps or 20 Gbps, but rarely to connect storage to hosts.
Alacritech boosts EqualLogic NAS gateway
Alacritech's Scalable Network Accelerators (SNA) have been integrated into Advanced Media Services (AMS) Windows Storage Server NAS Gateways, specifically supporting EqualLogic PS Series iSCSI SANs. Alacritech SNAs are TOE cards that offload the processing of IP traffic from primary storage and server CPUs.
Chelsio juices up FalconStor IP SAN
Chip startup Chelsio and FalconStor have certified Chelsio's S310 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) Storage Adapter as interoperable with FalconStor IPStor Enterprise Edition software for RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4). The combination can be used to create a 10 GigE IP SAN.
DataCore is packaging up iSCSI versions of its storage virtualization software into Virtual Infrastructure Foundation (VIF) Acceleration Bundles marketed to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB). Bundles include the SAN bundle for SMBs, which wraps up SANmelody virtual iSCSI SAN software, SANmotion for migration and caching algorithms for performance acceleration, starting at $1,000. A business continuity starter bundle for midsize enterprises (SME) adds failover for between $8,000 and $16,000. A disaster recovery starter bundle includes asynchronous IP mirroring and replication, priced from $8,000 to $16,000. A business continuance/disaster recovery bundle includes campus-level failover and long distance replication for between $14,000 and $20,000. Separately, Datacore announced a new SANMelody customer, Australian construction firm Glenvill Group.
EmBoot debuts new Windows iSCSI SAN boot
EmBoot has shipped winBoot/i v2.1, an update to its iSCSI boot-from-SAN product for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 and the forthcoming Microsoft Windows Server 2008. New features include support for Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) for quiescing open files while copying boot images, support for writing crash dump results from Windows servers directly to iSCSI storage and the ability to install Windows Server 2008 from DVD.
3PAR adds LDAP support
3PAR has added native support for LDAP, an open source counterpart to Microsoft's Active Directory, which provides end user authentication. Users with LDAP can now use the same console to manage 3PAR's InServ Storage Servers that they already use to manage other LDAP-compatible devices.
LeftHand lands Nikon Europe
ISCSI SAN maker LeftHand Networks announced that Nikon Europe replaced a Fibre Channel SAN with its SANiQ system. Ten remote offices spread across Europe have the IP SANs installed, replicating to a central location.
CipherMax, NeoScale offer key management for LTO-4
CipherMax's CM140T key management software now supports the key management functions for LTO-4 encrypting tape drives and media, as well as line-speed data encryption capabilities for virtual tape libraries (VTL). Elsewhere, NeoScale announced two new APIs for partners to integrate storage products with its KeyVault key management system. The APIs come in two flavors, one for LTO-4 and one for disk.
Spectra Logic adds upgrade paths to tape line
Spectra Logic's new midrange Spectra T200, T380 and T680 tape libraries now offer a direct growth path from 1-to-24 tape drives, 50-to-680 slots of tape media and up to 136 TB of disk storage in one rack-mount unit.
Pharmaceutical firm picks Riverbed
Riverbed reported that Cubist Pharmaceuticals has deployed its Steelhead WAFS appliances on a globally distributed network. The company picked Riverbed to accelerate replication of VMware virtual machine images for disaster recovery.
California school district extends contract with SSP
California's Riverside Unified School district has extended its contract for another three years with a hosted storage provider, School Web Lockers, which specifically services K-12 schools and school districts. The agreement will provide online collaboration and storage services to 46,000 students, teachers and administrators in 45 schools.
Sanz wins $930,000 DoD deal
Sanz has received an approximate $930,000 renewal order for backup, recovery and archive products for a Department of Defense customer. The customer was not named.
MessageLabs launches v3.0 of email archiving service
MessageLabs launched v3.0 of its archiving service. New features include attachment stubbing and support for Microsoft 2007 applications.
Neverfail adds low-end replication
Server failover vendor Neverfail released Neverfail Replicator, designed for business processes that can tolerate some downtime. The product supports failover and failback, LAN and WAN networks, physical and virtual servers, a low-bandwidth module for speeding WAN transfers and a direct upgrade path to Neverfail's higher end products.
Plasmon rebrands Arkivio file migration
Plasmon has partnered with Arkivio to rebrand its file migration software as Plasmon's Archive File Manager, released this week. The software pulls static data off NAS and SAN-based storage and migrates or copies it to Plasmon's UDO Archive Appliance or Enterprise Active Archive.

Opera truths for cowboys
Send a link to a friend
08, 2014]
Our resident
cowboy, Steve, brought us the shocking news: Cowpuncher Three-Chord
Cortez, that bunkhouse balladeer, plans to study opera, in hopes an
aria or three will make him even more attractive to girls during a
serenade. Apparently, singing "La Donna Mobile" might be more
effective than "You don't know what lonesome is 'til you start
herding co-o-o-ows" ... especially if she doesn't speak European.
1. Take off your hat. You can keep jujubes in it if you
2. If you like a particular aria, you can yell "Bravo!" if it's a
man, "Brava!" if it's a woman or "Bravisimo!" if it's an "isimo."
It's considered poor form to yell "Eeeee-HAAA!" or "You get 'em,
3. One of the strangest operatic devices is called recitative —
pronounced rest-a-TEEF (don't ask) — and is a combination of singing
and speaking that is used when the composer wants to hurry through a
song because he wasn't too fond of it in the first place but it was
in the contract and he wants it out of the way quickly. Feel free to
mention recitative to a woman at halftime. Operas have two
[to top of second
The speaking part of the recitative is done like a machine gun,
and then you break into song when you get tired of that, and it can
happen in the same sentence. For example: "Don't make me come down
there, don't make me come down there, don't make me come down there
and k-i-i-i-I-I-I-I-i-i-ck your bu-u-u-u-u-tt."
4. That bit of music they play before the curtain goes up is
called the overture, and not foreplay.
It's to give you a hint of what's to come, in case you decide to
leave early. You might listen to the overture and say, "That
allegretto tickles my fancy, but if that tenor duet goes on for more
than two minutes, I'll get the scours."
This makes a guy a connoisseur, you see. Connoisseur is European
for smart-aleck.
And finally, 5. Don't forget to clean your boots.

Re: A Reference for New Players
That's actually pretty useful. Definitely going to be using it soon, got a new player into the group who has no previous experience with gaming really, so I think it'll really help her out. Thanks!

I just took a pannetone to my parents house for their breakfast and ate cereal at home. I was the least ambitious of anyone in terms of breakfast, although I did make soup and roast turkey with cranberry sauce for dinner. MY sister made outside of the turkey stuffing, since she is vegan. I would have normally made pork roast with potatoes and veggies in the pan, as it is easy and my dad likes it, but I got a free turkey.

So much for a timely reply...Before family got scattered across the US & Asia, we used to have a big southern style brunch around noon after gift opening. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties, biscuits with sausage cream gravy, grits, hot fruit compote, all with plenty of butter, jams & ribbon cane syrup (similar to molasses). Beverages were tea, coffee, mixed citrus juice, vodka to spike the juice, and brandied mocha.
Pleasant nostalgia! Now it's pared down to dried fruit & nut scones with a pot of coffee or tea & is eaten earlier.

We have Christmas breakfast with my husband's family - where they make egg sandwiches (toasted English muffins, canadian bacon, cheese, egg) on Christmas morning. That is served with cappuccino or black coffee and bottomless mimosas. It is simple, but very warming and easy. Especially the mimosas!

Snowy, sausage cream gravy is a staple in the American South. Sometimes called "sawmill gravy," most of the time it's just referred to as gravy; as in "biscuits & gravy."
Basically, it's just a white sauce to which cooked breakfast sausage has been added. Ideally, you would cook the sausage first, and use the grease from it when making your roux.
To serve it, you split the biscuit in half and pour some of the gravy over it.
The other great Southern gravy is Red Eye. This is made by deglazing the fond from a fried hamsteak with coffee and letting it reduce slightly.

Biscuits & gravy is my favorite special breakfast!
I cook veggie sausage in olive oil and make a lumpy roux with the veggie sausage pieces and olive oil together. Call it lazy roux. I use veggie stock and finish with sour cream and lots of coarsely ground black pepper.

Hi, Russ. Welcome to the forums.

We had the happy privilege of having not only our son, but his charming girlfriend with us for Christmas. Since we do the big blow-out the night before
Christmas morning is slow and easy (now that he's not six years old any more!). We had cocoa - a very rich European chocolate with whipped cream - while opening the gifts. Then after the stockings were emptied, I made scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. On the side were oven dried tomatoes I had put up in September, bacon & pork sausage from a local butcher and local pig! I served my own stollen - toasted and buttered. A pot of strong coffee caps it off. After that, it was off for a bracing hike on the cliffs at Fort Funston in San Francisco. Dandy day!
If we aren't with friends for Christmas Day, we always have leftovers Christmas night. Sandwiches made with Sam's homemade whole grain seeded rolls and leftover pork or goose.
Happy New Year to Everyone!

Ever wonder how to reupholster a chair seat so that it feels cushy and brand new, not saggy or springy? After working on a few chairs and reading tons of tutorials I've learned a thing or two about putting together a nice soft seat. Upholstery can be totally daunting and scary if you've never done it before. The secret to a nice soft seat is in the layers that cover the support, whether it be coil springs, zig zag springs or no springs at all. This method will add a little cush to the tush and look beautiful in the process.
If you missed the first part of the tutorial be sure to check out part 1 of How to Upholster a Chair Seat here.
Now for the part where it all comes back together and starts to look like a chair again. When last we left off we just finished putting the batting onto the chair seat. The batting is the last step before the your fabric goes on!
Use the old fabric you saved during the removal process as a pattern for your new fabric. If your fabric has a pattern be sure to center it before cutting it out. I like to cut the fabric a touch larger than the pattern so I have a little wiggle room for adjustment. Center your fabric onto the seat and cut around the legs using the same "Y" method I showed you for the burlap and batting layers. This time it's VERY important not to cut too far. Be sure to go slow and snip a little at a time.
Here's where the top layer differs from the previous layers. Around the legs the sides will look something like the picture above. That slit was formed when you cut the "Y shape. Now it's time to fix that up and make a nice, clean, finished seam.
Start by folding under the raw edges of your fabric that wrap around the legs.
Next cut another piece of cheap oakley sunglasses fabric, this piece will lay underneath the top layer, if you have a pattern be sure to match it up. Fold under your top edge and tack to hold into place with a few staples. Be sure to clip off any excessive amount of fabric so as not to add too much bulk.
Wrap your top layer around tightly and secure with staples or upholstery tacks underneath the chair. The will hold the underneath piece in snugly and it shouldn't move. See how matching the fabric pattern makes the seam almost disappear? Little details like these all help to achieve professional looking results. Once you're finished move over to the other side and do it again. You should almost be a professional by now!
Now that the chair legs are taken care of it's time to move onto the front. Work out from the center and begin stapling, pulling tightly and evenly as you go.
As you get to the corner gently snip up into your fabric. Be careful not to snip too far. You only want to go as high as the finished portion of your leg. Next you're going to turn under the portion to the left of the scissor in the above photo so clip off any excess that'll make it too hard to turn under. It'll make sense in a second.
Now you can staple all the way up to the corner. and roll under that little portion that's left after you clipped.
Roll under and wrap it around the chair leg, securing with a staple in the corner. This staple will get covered up in a second. Like you're wrapping a present or making a hospital corner on your bed fold down your fabric from the top. It'll make a nice neat corner.
You'll probably notice depending on the weight of the fabric you choose extra bunching underneath. Trim away any excess fabric that won't be seen. It'll help your folder lay nice and flat.
Do the same thing as you did before and cut up to the top of the finished portion of the leg and roll under around the chair leg, securing on top with a decorative upholstery nail. Continue working all the way around your chair pulling, folding and tucking as you go.
Before you know it you'll have a completely reupholstered chair.
Things to remember
- Go slow it's easy to get carried away and want to get it done quickly. Slow and steady wins the race in upholstery.
- Don't be afraid to pull out a row of staples if something doesn't feel right.
- It's ok to snip away some of the underneath fabric when you make your corners. It helps to remove the excess and lets your corners lay flat in the end.
- Be sure to center and line up your patterns.
Happy upholstering!

WASHINGTON (AP) Mike Muscala posted his 15th double-double of the season and hit the game-winning shot with .8 seconds left to power Bucknell to its 8th straight win over American University, 66-65 Wednesday night.
Muscala, who leads the nation in double-doubles and is the only Division-I player averaging over 18 points and 11 rebounds, finished with 16 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and three blocks for Bucknell (18-4, 5-1 Patriot League).
Muscala had five offensive rebounds in the win, one of which came with 21 seconds remaining and the other with 2 seconds showing. The 6-foot-11 center turned both of those offensive boards into points to help Bucknell win its seventh game in nine tries. Both losses were by a combined five points.
Daniel Munoz had 13 for American (7-14, 2-4), which outshot Bucknell 47 percent (22 of 46) to 42 percent (22 of 52) but allowed 12 second-chance points.

There are two construction projects on Interstate 80 East today, one of which will be dangerous this morning.
Repair crews are working on repairing a small piece of the highway at the Pocono-Jackson township line at mile marker 293, with the right lane closed to traffic. The construction has backed up traffic about two miles onto Interstate 380.
The danger associated with the project is that it is backing traffic up into a heavily fogged area of I-80 and I-380, making visibility for stopped traffic difficult. State police on the scene have lit flares on the road to try to get the attention of drivers before the back-up.
The delays were about 20 minutes at 10 a.m.
Stroudsburg drivers already are used to the other delay at mile marker 306, where the right lane is closed before the Park Street exit. The road has been down to one lane in the area for more than a week for construction associated with the Seventh Street Bridge project.
Delays are expected to last through the afternoon on both projects. Check back to poconorecord.com for updates.

I've finished up my facebbok App and currently got stuck when watching the application as an facebook application tab....: the vertical scrollbar is displayed. Actually I've used the following code to auto resize the application iframe:
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: FBAPP_ID, status: true, cookie: true, xfbml: true});
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol +
The iframe successfully gets resized when I load the application tab, but the vertical scrollbar is visible. The body of my app has a width of 520px, the application settings are set to auto-size and iframe-mode. When I add overflow:hidden to the html-element the scrollbar is not visible - but I dont want to use overflow:hidden on the html-tag because the page is also be available as standalone-page.
Does anybody has some ideas how to get facebook to hide the vertical scrollbar when the content fits the iframe height? (or is this currently a facebook problem (...again) ?
Thanks in advance Denis

|Suspected Al shabab fighters attack home of security official in Kismayo
|[Shabelle] Suspected Heavy armed Al shabab assailants have on Wednesday night attacked the house of a senior Somali security official in the southern port city of Kismayo, some 500 Km (310 Miles) south of Mogadishu, reports said.
Abdullahi Qaldan, the official was home at the time of the attack and was reportedly escaped unhurt. Soldiers guarding the home of the officials engaged heavy shootout with attacking beturbanned goons and fended them off from the area, locals reported.
At least one combatant was killed and four others injured during the combat.
In the after of the skirmish, soldiers from Somali government and Ras Kamboni fighters have reached at the area and carried out sweep. No group has grabbed credit for the attack.
Attacks and blasts have been on the rise since the coalition forces from Somalia and Kenyan defence forces (KDF) rolled in the seaside town a month ago, after Al shabab abandoned the city.

With the re-launch of Bowling This Month, April 2014, I wrote about the new and improved Tiered Oval Process Version 3 thumb. TOPS3 will improve your swing and release. TOPS3 is a significantly comfortable thumb shape option as well. The process is designed to create a more anatomically correct shaped thumb designed to avoid bending the thumb.

With the VAR-E Axis of Rotation System, learn how-to alter ball motion more easily. I have found it easier to teach axis of rotation variation by focusing on the center of the palm as compared with teaching it referencing the fingers and thumb. With VAR-E, the key to altering ball motion easily is to envision a clock face relative to the center of your palm.

En Español
An environmental illness is a set of symptoms or a disease caused by chemicals, fumes, pollution, allergens, viruses, or toxins or physical hazards found in the environment. Exposure to toxic chemicals or other hazards may occur in the home, workplace, or community.
The symptoms of an environmental illness depend on what is causing it. The symptoms may be like those caused by other illnesses. Examples are headache, cough, fatigue, and nausea. And symptoms may vary according to the amount and type of exposure. Environmental illnesses may be difficult to diagnose. And they are sometimes mistaken for other illnesses.
Symptoms may occur suddenly and disappear when exposure to the substance ends. For example, headaches or grogginess caused by carbon monoxide at home can go away when the people who live there go to work or school. Sometimes symptoms may not develop for years, which can occur after exposure to cancer-causing chemicals.
The first treatment for an environmental illness includes getting rid of or reducing exposure to the things causing the illness. Additional treatment is based on the specific symptoms and part of the body that is affected.

Towards Turkish-Islamic Union
Attributes of God
Short videos - Don't miss
Crimean Golos Newspaper-November 2, 2008
Adnan Oktar: This is a burden for Turkey, a service, in other words. But at the end of the day, IT WILL BE A GREAT BLESSING FOR EUROPE WHEN TURKEY BECOMES THE LEADER OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD, WHEN IT PLAYS THE ROLE OF OLDER BROTHER FOR THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC WORLD. Europe will be much better off economically. It will enjoy great support in terms of minerals, petrol and labor force. And Europe needs this badly. It needs human resources, and it needs minerals and oil. The Turkish-Islamic Union can easily provide these, and will do so, in a very powerful way. But this also means a huge market. It will also be a great blessing for Turks; it will enrich them, and will enrich the Turkish-Islamic world and will enrich Europe. Terror, violence and conflict will disappear. For example, America is spending billions in Iraq. It is spending billions in Afghanistan. And its energetic young people are being wasted there. Hundreds of thousands of people are being wasted. Then America will be in a position to employ the labor power of these people, it will include these people in economy. And it will be able to spend the money spent there on its own regeneration. The global economy is in crisis. When the American economy was damaged, the other economies in the world were damaged, too. The reason for this is that so much money is invested in the fight against terror, on arms, on sending so many troops all over the place, and these are really energetic people. The result will be events of this kind. Such things will happen when selfishness and egoism spreads. But these things are all events that our Prophet (saas) has spoken of in the hadith. In the End Times, he even says, you will go to the market and people will complain they have sold nothing and earned no money all day. He says that such a time will come, and that is the time we are in now.

" Ask for Raul Menina! He is the best in the biz! Very friendly, very professional, and very trustworthy. He got me a great deal on my New Kia Forte! Thanks to him I was able to buy my very first car on my own! I will only buy cars from Raul from now on "
" Their service department is great. They have always taken care of my car since I first bought him in 2014. Free car wash and the oil change is very affordable compared to the "convenience" places. Their lounge is nice and they have free popcorn and coffee. The wait is never long. I like walking to savers and don quijote while I wait "
" Saw an advertisement for $69.99 oil change and tire rotation with free car wash. All makes and models. Doesn't have to be a Kia. I like GoodYear in general but grew tired and suspicious that every time I go in for an oils change something else is wrong with my car. So I wanted to try Aloha Kia this time. Especially since I can't reach the top of my car for an easy wash. And as fun as it is to take the kids through the car wash.... it doesn't do the job. I called on a Wednesday asking for a Saturday appt. the lady was really friendly and said I could have a 1:30 appt but could drop of my car anytime before so I wasn't held up all day. I just had to pick up my car before they closed at 3:45. Easy enough. Wasn't a lot of staff around when I dropped car off at 12:30 so I was initially unsure of where to go for service but just followed signs and rang a bell for service. They informed me everyone was heading to lunch but they would be starting on my car around 1/1:30... ok. Also told me the tech would call me just before he started on it. I received a call just before 1:30 that they would be starting and just wanted to let me know if I needed a higher grade oil it would be more expensive and sometimes can be about $100. That's standard so I okd it if needed. It was done by 2:30, only cost me $80. Didn't need the higher grade oil. Nothing else wrong with my car. It was washed and tires shiny. And they were done quickly! Yaaasss!! "
I would like to thank Frank McGregor he's the best
" Everyone there at Kia in Hilo Hawaii very very helpful in every way every time I call for an appointment they always take me in "
" I am SO impressed with Aloha Kia Leeward. It is run like a well oiled machine! Everyone was so kind - from the person checking us in for service, and the parts manager, and the receptionist. The waiting room is amazing - an awesome specialty coffee machine, & home made popcorn & clean bathrooms. It made our wait pleasant and relaxing. It is very rare to see every single employee be so positive and genuinely welcoming & friendly! Well done Aloha Leeward Kia! "
Rod Espinoza
" Great customer service, honest and friendly staff. Best service dept. on the Island. I won't buy a car from any where else on the Island. "
" Well worth the extra drive. Scott and Derrick were AWESOME. Very professional, very friendly and respectful. Got me just the used car I wanted for thousands less than the those who run the airport location. (which is strange since a single man / family own all kia's in all of the state) Many Mahalo's Derrick and Scott for getting us this used soul EV + at a fair price and for the extra work you had to do to get it from another Island! :-) "
KIA Forte 2019 @ 1 month gets engine check light?
" Made appt for 'engine check' light 6 days prior; service dept is covered, took a few minutes (she was on another call) to get heard; offered transportation (I waited-only vehicle), stated concerns-was completely understood. Nice clean wait areas (2). Saw the car come back out, but the service person was on lunch so waited longer than needed and within that time, my car was moved from the covered area to the outside/uncovered. And then it started to POUR down rain, at which time the service person came back and I was briefly explained they weren't sure why the EC light came on, but that history stated a 4th cylinder misfire when they had looked at history. And that they had done an update of some ECU logic which was a "Recalled" item. Wondering now if I hadn't come in, how long would it take before I got the notice? Should have asked and needed more in-depth explanation of those, but was not actually thinking about it at the time. Unfortunately now it was raining buckets and I would have to get out to my car - was offered umbrella escort. Wished they would have left it under the covered area. Also there was a river now running directly under the driver's side door, which meant waders were needed to enter the vehicle. :/ Overall, in at 10:30 AM out by 1:15 PM Clean place, friendly folks, convenient location. Will be back to this location (hopefully ONLY because of regularly scheduled maint.) closer than Airport tho that's purchased from. "
" This is the second time we purchased a vehicle here at Aloha Kia Waipahu, and I have to say, the experience on both visits were awesome! Our salesman, Sae Park, handled both purchases, and was amazing! He and the staff are full of aloha. Sae went above and beyond what we expected to help us find exactly what we wanted. Did everything he could to work within our budget, made us feel welcome and comfortable. Practically did everything for us, explaining every step so that we understood it all. Linda, the woman in financing was also great! If ever I have to purchase another vehicle I would definitely go back to Aloha Kia Waipahu, without a second thought. I'd recomend them to anyone, and refer them to Sae Park because he is the man to go to! Thank you Sae! And thank you Aloha Kia for all you've done for me and my family! "
" Communication during the sale was great; however, afterwards, support is noticeably lacking . Noticed some issues after delivery but dealership didn't/won't fix. Suggest to take time during test drive and check everything (speakers, steering wheel, etc). Though sold as is, should take care of the small issues afterwards so as to keep customers and get good referrals. Will go somewhere else to buy a car next time. "
" Took my car in for service and I am simply amazed at the wonderful customer service I received from their service department. First it started with Rose who keeps thing so simple and quick. She is a wonderful person who made getting your car service so easy. This isn't the first time I have been here to get my car service but it is the first time that I was impressed and it takes a lot for me to get impressed. After my car was ready I asked about getting a part to repair some rubber thing for the front bumper. When I went to show the parts guy was when he replies no worries, we took care of it already. I am a second generation Kia owner and I can't wait to buy another Kia when the time is right. Thank You Leeward Kia for being the best. "
" A sales rep got back to me right away and referred me to another person who offered a video of the car once the car came out of inspection. Very helpful! "
" UPDATE TO LAST REVIEW: after talking to diffrent sales managers. I was able to talk to the general manager Derrick. He helped me very much and made a customer valued and cared and may a fair sale on vehicle. Turned a bad situation into a good and postive one and a happy and returning customer "
Aaron Kaapuni Nanakuli, Hawaii
" Marshall Briano was my service agent. Waipahu KIA did an excellent job on repairing my car. They even gave me a loaner!! Both my wife and I own KIAs Thank You Waipahu KIA!! You're the best. "
" Quick response to my inquiry and very friendly "
" We purchase a 2014 Scion xB for a family car. The salesman Raul Menina was very helpful and so friendly. He went above and beyond to make us feel accommodated . He provided us water/hot chocolate and stayed with us until we were done signing papers. He has awesome energy and a good customer service. Thank you Aloha Kia for your great service! "
" Five star review for MVP Raul Menina!! Ask for **Raul Menina** for the best experience you could ask for in purchasing a new family vehicle. I am truly impressed with Aloha KIA Leeward and notably how customer-oriented this experience was. Successful dealerships such as KIA have so many customers to service -- Raul's service shows that even busy dealerships have the time to personalize a transaction with a sincere invitation for a lasting customer service relationship. You'll be pleased with Raul's sincere and warm approach to car sales. Raul is humble and works hard to make sure that his customers go home happy and make the right choice based on why they walk into the Aloha KIA Leeward showroom. I visited Raul at Aloha KIA Leeward to explore options for a new family vehicle before attending the annual First Hawaiian Bank Auto Show (scheduled for April 13th - 15th). My short list of cars included popular options, including the Honda HRV and Toyota Prius. The choice was not set by a budget so much as it was to make the right choice for my family. Raul earned our business and we'll be back. He works hard even after the sale to send you home in your new vehicle feeling on top of the world. Every car purchase should be as simple and joyful as this experience with Raul. Aloha KIA Leeward celebrated the Grand Opening of its showroom today, featuring a gorgeous indoor area to view the KIA Soul, Sportage, and the oh-to-die-for Stinger. "
" I called and was able to talk to an agent right away. When we got there Raul, (Kia Salesman) helped us every step of the way, service was amazing. Everyone greets you with a smile, and go above and beyond to make sure you are accommodated, we were treated like family. We were offered water and snacks as we waited for our Purchase to go through. It was our first time buying a car so we didnt really know a lot about what was going on. Raul along with Kia Manager, Samoan Chief Fau Sua, or Uncle Fau helped us get such a low interest rate as first time car buyers. If you are a first time car buyer, or even just looking to buy a car, come here these are people you can trust that will help you get the best possible outcome in your purchase. Ask for Raul and Chief Fau Sua, these guys are the best, you won't go wrong. "
" October 31, 2018 Wednesday 5-Star rating. Great Service by Rose Victorino. I Thank Techs Calvin Hayashi and Kyle Padilla for working on my Kia Soul. And the house tech for washing my car. Anson for setting my appointment. AWESOME!!! "
" I have frequent at this place many times and the service is exceptional. I appreciate the time they spent explain details of what my car needs. I especially enjoy Bernie the shuttle driver, she is such a delight and so pleasant. Coming here for Service is like bumping into an old friend in the street. They try to make your time here Pleasant by offering a multitude of drinks, and snacks. The area is clean and the new waiting area is comfortable. I'm very pleased to have a Kia and plan on belonging to the Kia family for a long time to come. "
Allen Jose from Kona Kia did an amazing job !
" Allen did a great job helping me with the truck and car I bought from him at Kona Kia I was very pleased with his attentiveness and personal service to make sure I got what I needed and went beyond the call to make sure I got a good deal because of him I will buy my next car from Kona Kia Allen took good care of my son and I and I really appreciate all did . "
" we recently got our beautiful Kia Soul at waipahu Kia. Our wonderful sales person is Roger. Our experience in the past with sales people wasn't as comfortable. With roger there was no pressure or rush. He helped us all he could and it succeeded. Loving our Soul....come see Roger, he will put you in your new car.....Aloha....... "
" The service department has improved! I decided to try them again since they are conveniently located near me. I noticed different employees working and they know how to provide service and follow through, everything went seamless. "
" Considering buying a Kia?? Go down to Aloha Kia -Waipahu located across the street of Waipahu Town Center. Ask for Raul, he was recommended by someone from another dealership. I recently purchased 2018 Kia Soul & VERY much pleased with my new car and service I received so far. In the past my husband & purchased a few cars from another dealership & never gotten the exceptional customer service that Raul has given us! Once other salesperson sold us the cars we never heard from them again. He's not just a sales person! He's knowledgeable, personable & genuinely cares about his customers. A day after we made the purchase I received a phone call from him, following up on how I enjoying my new Kia Soul and made himself available to help us if we had any other questions and thanked us for the sale! A day ago I received another follow up call. During our conversation I mentioned that I was going to take my car to s carwash. He invited me to bring my car down Aloha Kia and he would wash it for me. This evening drove there. He washed my car, wiped it down and made it all shinny for me. Now tell me what salesperson would offer you that kind of service?? Thank you Raul! I really appreciate the extra mile you have gone for me! You definitely deserve a 10! I want to wish you many more car sales to come in the New Year! "
Kia Aloha Waipahu
" Great service! I do not go to any other service shop since i had my Kia Optima (3 yrs). Keep up the good work. My whole family loved our Kia Optima. "
" Saw a used car and it was on sale thru the internet. I was wondering if they were kidding or not. Called Kia and asked for information about the car. The next day, the salesperson named Raul returned my call. I went by to the dealership to test drive the car. I liked it and i didnt hestitate to buy it. My pet peeve though, it took too long to get the car out of the driveway, but i guess thats normal when you are buying a car plus calling insurance, and what not. After four hours, i got the car with everything settled. Although I realized I took the warranty just in case, it added more to my cost. I will just keep it as it is because i know the car i got is reliable. Thanks Raul for helping me. I hopefully will get a car from you after i pay this car off, if you are still working by then. Lol. "
Great car!
" My 2000 Hyundai finally died on New Year's Eve and I was desperate for a new car. Went to Aloha Kia Leeward to check out their sales. Linda Payanal hooked us up with salesman Norlan Horita and he showed us around the lot and explained the various available models. I was disappointed that there weren't any 2017 Kia Soul available but found a 2018 Soul that suits my needs. I was a little shocked at the prices but not having bought a new car ever I realized this is how it is. There was no pressure selling tactics and I was thoroughly satisfied. Linda Payanal was very helpful with explaining the Financial options and was willing to help me find the cheapest interest rate available. I don't mean to be cliche but I love my new Kia Soul! "

Sequester: What Will Happen, What Won't Happen and What We Don't Know
Federal agencies are tight-lipped, but the worst of it won't come until April.
March 2, 2013 -- When it comes to critical elements of the sequester timeline, not much is known -- because federal agencies have been tight lipped.
Asked when specific effects will be felt, officials at three federal departments declined to discuss the timing of sequester cuts and their consequences. Some departments were waiting for President Obama's Friday night sequester order and subsequent guidance they expected to receive from the Office of Management and Budget before talking about what would and wouldn't happen and when.
Read more: 57 Terrible Consequences of the Sequester
"There's no calendar of dates for specific actions or cuts on specific dates," Department of Health and Human Services public affairs officer Bill Hall told ABC News. "Again, these cuts need to be applied equally across all agency programs, activities and projects. There will be wide variation on when impacts will occur depending on a given program."
Some cuts won't be felt for a while because they have to do with government layoffs, which require 30 days notice, in most cases.
For instance, the Federal Aviation Administration won't begin layoffs until at least April 7, one FAA official estimated.
But some cuts don't involve furloughs, and could conceivably be felt immediately.
The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the timeline of layoffs to cybersecurity contractors and first responders funded through states, as well as limited Coast Guard operations and cuts to FEMA disaster relief.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development said it could not comment on cuts to housing vouchers, rent assistance for AIDS patients, maintenance for housing projects.
The Department of Health and Human Services declined to discuss the specific timing of cuts to Head Start services, low-income mental-health services, AIDS/HIV testing, and inpatient substance-abuse treatment.
Read More: Automatic Cuts Could Hurt on Local Level
So even as the sequester hits, we still don't know when some of its worst effects will be felt.
Here's what we do know:
What Will Happen Saturday
Air Force Training. At a briefing Friday, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter warned that "effective immediately, Air Force flying hours will be cut back."
More from Carter, via ABC News' Luis Martinez: "What does that mean for national security? What it means is that as the year goes on, apart from Afghanistan, apart from nuclear deterrence through two missions we are strictly protecting, the readiness of the other units to respond to other contingencies will gradually decline. That's not safe. And that we're trying to minimize that in every way we possibly can."
Closed Doors at the Capitol. ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports that Capitol Police issued a memo announcing it would have to close some entrances to the Capitol, writing: "At this time it is anticipated that the U.S. Capitol Police will be required to close some entrance doors and exterior checkpoints, and either suspend or modify the hours of operation for some of the U.S. Capitol Complex posts located inside and outside of the CVC and Office Buildings."
Capitol Janitor Furloughs. After President Obama warned that janitors at the Capitol will be furloughed, ABC News' Sunlen Miller reported that was not entirely true: The Senate sergeant at arms, Terrance Gainer, told ABC News that no full-time salaried Capitol Police officers would face furloughs or layoffs at this time. They will, however, see a "substantial reduction in overtime," Gainer told ABC News.
Delayed Deployment for USS Truman Aircraft Carrier. This has already happened, the Associated Press reported Friday morning: "One of the Navy's premiere warships, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, sits pier-side in Norfolk, Va., its tour of duty delayed. The carrier and its 5,000-person crew were to leave for the Persian Gulf on Feb. 8, along with the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg."
What Won't Happen Saturday
Many of the sequester's worst consequences purportedly will arise from government worker furloughs, which can't happen right away. In most cases, government workers must be notified 30 days before their workdays are cut and, in some cases, longer, according to Office of Personnel Management Guidelines.
Here are some sequester effects that won't befall us until early April at the soonest:
Fewer Commercial Flights. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has warned that fewer air traffic controllers could mean backed up commercial air traffic. An FAA official estimated that furloughs won't begin until April 7.
Fewer FBI Agents and a Greater Threat of Terrorism. FBI Director Robert Mueller has warned that cuts at the FBI will weaken the bureau's capability to break up terrorist plots. Those warnings have centered on FBI furloughs, which can't begin immediately. The FBI would not comment on the timing, and the Justice Department did not respond to ABC News' request for comment.
Longer Airport Security Lines. TSA workers won't be furloughed immediately. Instead, the agency intends to first implement a hiring freeze. That, along with cuts to overtime, will mean airport security lines gradually will get longer, but they won't be backed up this morning.
A statement from TSA, provided to ABC News: "Travelers will likely not see immediate impacts at airport security checkpoints on March 1, but lines and wait times will increase as reductions to overtime and the inability to backfill positions for attrition occur. While wait times can vary on a number of factors, if sequestration goes into effect, TSA will put in place a hiring freeze, which will result in up to an additional 1,000 TSO vacancies by Memorial Day weekend and up to 2,600 vacancies by the end of the fiscal year. With TSA staffing levels decreasing over time, we expect that during busy travel periods wait times exceeding 30-40 minutes could double at nearly all of the largest airports. In addition, passengers who schedule their travel outside of peak flight schedules and plan to arrive close to their scheduled flight time may see their wait times now reach 30 minutes or more."
More Porous Border. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has warned that furloughs to Customs and Border Patrol personnel will make it difficult to maintain security across U.S. borders. Again, this possibility rests on furloughs that can't happen immediately.
Smaller Medicare Payments to Doctors, Hospitals. While Medicare benefits are protected, payments to Medicare providers (doctors and hospitals) will shrink by 2 percent. That won't happen until April 1, according to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS says cuts will also affect Parts C and D: "Furthermore, CMS is prepared to take sequestration into account when they calculate the April monthly payment amount for Part C and D plans on March 21st and communicate the amount to plans on March 22," an official said.
What Won't Happen at All
Sequestration was advertised as "across-the-board cuts" but, in reality, it doesn't touch everything. Certain mandatory entitlement programs are completely exempt from sequestration cuts.
Here are some of them, as outlined in a Jan. 10 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report on the sequester:
Social Security Benefits. The Social Security Administration warned that once staff furloughs begin, the administrative cuts will mean slower processing for disability claims. But Social Security checks themselves will not shrink.
Medicare Benefits. Payments to providers will shrink 2 percent beginning April 1, meaning "$11 billion in lost revenues to Medicare doctors, hospitals, and other providers," according to CMS -- but actual Medicare benefits are protected from the sequester.
VA Programs. "All programs administered by the VA, and special benefits for certain World War II veterans," will be exempt from sequestration cuts, according to CRS.
Pell Grants. Completely exempt from sequestration cuts, according to CRS.
Medicaid. Completely exempt from sequestration cuts, according to CRS.
Welfare, technically called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Completely exempt from sequestration cuts, according to CRS.
Food Stamps, technically called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Completely exempt from sequestration cuts, according to CRS.
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Completely exempt from sequestration cuts, according to CRS.
"Child Nutrition Programs (including school lunch, school breakfast, child and adult care food, and others, but excluding special milk)" will all be completely exempt, according to CRS.
The Special Inspector General for TARP won't lose funds, along with a few other administrative programs related to economic recovery, according to CRS.
Delayed Tax Returns. ABC News' Devin Dwyer reported that the IRS told ABC News the sequester will not delay tax refunds and may mean fewer audits. The agency has warned its employees to expect furloughs, but not until this summer -- after tax season ends.

Have a happy Halloween, but ...
By Lee Gurga,
D.D.S., Apple Dental Center
Send a link to a friend
[October 29, 2012]
With Halloween just around the corner,
this may be a good time to talk about children's dental health.
For the first time in decades, the American Dental Association is
noting an increase in cavities among children. This increase follows
a prolonged decline in cavities that was a result of increased
awareness and a focus on prevention. Dental fluoride treatments and
sealants have been remarkably effective in reducing the number of
cavities in children.
Why this trend is reversing is not fully understood, but like
everything else, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
When we eat sugar, the bacteria in our mouth also eat sugar and
produce a strong acid as a result of their metabolism. Teeth decay
occurs when these acids leach enough of the minerals out of the
enamel that it becomes porous or even collapses into an actual void
or cavity.
A child will probably not be aware that cavities are developing
until he or she experiences pain. By that time the decay has already
invaded the living portion of the tooth and infected the nerve.
Treatment at this point can be both complicated and expensive.
Regular preventive care is your best defense against childhood
We recommend that children have their first dental visit around
age 3 and be checked every six months thereafter in order to clean
and protect the teeth and treat cavities in the early stages.
Children's teeth are small, with a thinner cap of enamel than adult
teeth, so problems can develop quickly.
It is always a good idea to "introduce" your child to dentistry
before there is a problem so that their initial visit will be a
positive experience. When treatment does become necessary, they will
be less apprehensive if they already know the dentist and staff.
The dental clinic at the Logan County Department of Public Health
can provide diagnostic and preventive services for those who are not
able to access private dental care.
[to top of second column]
Seeking dental care in a crisis at a hospital emergency room can
be very expensive, according to a recent study by the New York
Department of Health. Based on data from admissions between 2004 and
2008, the average bill for hospital treatment related to childhood
tooth decay averaged $4,724 per child. In 2008, 81 percent of these
charges were paid by the patient's family. More than an entire
childhood of preventive care could have been provided for this
amount of money.
With Halloween coming, let's encourage our kids to have fun, but
be smart. Let them enjoy Halloween candy in moderation, but make
sure they clean their teeth as soon as possible afterward. Snacking
all day long is the worst possible scenario for your teeth, because
the longer the teeth are in that acidic oral environment, the more
time there is for decay to develop.

departments and ambulatory surgery facilities and associated charges
in New York state," Journal of American Dental Association. January
2012, Page 59. (Abstract)

Product code: OSD-OC-3FT
A great solution for DTS® and
Dolby® Digital surround sound, Our Digital Optical Audio Cables use
superior-grade optical fiber to deliver better clarity and a more natural sound
from your digital audio video components.
Digital Optical Audio uses polished optical terminations and optical fiber to transfer digital signals through pulsating light. Fiber is immune to all forms of EM/RF interference, providing superior sonic accuracy and a more detailed, natural sound. Ordinary optical cables can compromise your audio performance by using lower-grade, optical-fiber materials, and hot-plate termination of the fiber, rather than polishing. This can result in signal loss that causes poor clarity, loss of definition, and sound that is not truly accurate. OSD Audio Series Digital Optical Audio Cables use the highest-quality materials to enhance your digital surround sound experience.

The first Sino-portuguese mansion in Phuket town, Ban Chinnapracha was built in circa 1903 during the era of King Rama V. The mansion was the former residence of Phra Phithak Chinnapracha (Tan Ma Sieng), son of a local tycoon Luang Bamrung Chinnaprathet (Tan Neow Yee), who were originally from Fujian province in China. This kind of mansion is called Ang Mor Lao by the locals, which means "Western-style building" in Hokkien Chinese. Part of the mansion is now renovated as The Blue Elephant Phuket, the world's famous Thai restaurant and cooking school.
