DELHI: Private equity investment in the real estate sector fell by 46 per cent to $ 276 million in the first half of 2013 due to lack of good projects and weak sentiments, property consultant Cushman & Wakefield said.
The decline in the quantum of PE investment in realty sector was due to to less number of deals (13 in H1 2013) as the average ticket size of deals remained same. In first half of 2012, there were 19 PE deals.
The consultant noted that about $ 2 billion (INR 11,854 crore) is available with private equity firms ready to be deployed in real estate, but PE funds want to put in money in only those projects with strong fundamentals.
"While the PE investments in real estate was recorded at $ 276 million (INR 1,638 crore) in H1 2013, which is 46 per cent lower when compared to first half of 2012 ($ 514 million/INR 3,050 crore), the PE funds continue to show keen interest in the market with a number of deals in discussion," C&W said in a statement.
The highest value of private equity investments has been recorded in Pune at $ 131.6 million, followed by Mumbai at $ 67.5 million, NCR at $ 38.8 million and Bengaluru at $ 16.9 million.
The pace of growth of the Indian realty sector has been impacted due to current prevailing volatility in the market, slower economic growth and rupee depreciation.
"It is noteworthy that despite a slowdown in the construction market and reduced number of investible projects in India, real estate features as the fourth most invested sector by private equity funds in the latest report," C&W Executive Managing Director South Asia Sanjay Dutt said.
He said an estimated $ 2 billion has been committed recently which would be deployed over the next 1 year.
Investors are willing to invest in real estate, but they are exploring the market for right real estate projects, Dutt said.
"We anticipate that in the next few quarters, after some regulatory and politico-economic environment are regularised, the momentum in real estate will pick up throwing open more investible options for the investors," he said.
The fund-raising environment (domestic and offshore) has consistently improved with more quality capital available for the sponsors with demonstrated track record.
Segment-wise, the total value of investments in the residential recorded at $ 156 million in H1 2013 witnessing a drop of 48 per cent over last year.
The total value of investments in the office segment was also lower in H1 2013 at $ 118.1 million. However, there is a strong growing trend towards investments in ready office space.

Alessandro Scarlatti's ambitions for his son led to various appointments composing opera and church music. Domenico's first thirty-five years were busy but undistinguished as he played the harpsichord, composed Masses for St Peter's, operas for Venice and Naples, and concertos and chamber works for anyone who asked. He achieved some fame as the finest harpsichordist of his day, but his compositions were merely competent and cannot be considered particularly inspiring.
In 1709 Scarlatti became harpsichord teacher to the exiled Polish Queen, Maria Barbara Casimira, in Rome. When she became Queen of Spain eight years later he followed her to Madrid and stayed there for the rest of his life. This appointment enabled Scarlatti to devote himself to his first love, the harpsichord. This is the turning point of Scarlatti's career as a composer. For Maria Barbara, he composed over 500 harpsichord pieces, works of such dazzling brilliance that they place him abruptly in the front rank of composers.
In his hundreds of single-movement sonatas or esercizi (exercises) for the harpsichord, Scarlatti developed exciting new techniques such as rapidly repeated notes and crossing one hand over the other, and experimented with new kinds of musical form. Here he was a true pioneer and an important link between the Baroque period and the musical forms and styles of the Classical period that followed in the 18th century.
Although Scarlatti's famous exercises were originally written for the harpsichord, today they are more often played on the piano. Imaginative and graceful, the music of Scarlatti often seems to dance easily over the keys, almost as though it composes itself. At other times, it is more reflective or subdued. Always, though, the breathtaking range of moods and techniques is both adventurous and a sheer delight to listen to.
The influence of Scarlatti is often underrated. Certainly he anticipated many of the developments of the Classical period, and his hand is seen in the works of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven (the three composers who represent the first classic phase of the sonata).
Domenico Scarlatti died on 23 July, 1757 in Madrid.

|Millard and Helen Coleman- Alliance, Ne. about 1943
When I was a little girl and would stay over with my Grandma, one of the most fun activities was pulling down an old hat box from the top of her wardrobe and going through it's contents. It was a Navy hatbox that her son, Millard had sent her while he was in the Coast Guard. In that box were some of her lifelong treasures...her hanky collection! That collection was so special to go through as a little girl but the box is what has stayed in my memory all these years. What I would not give to have a photo of that box on top of that old wardrobe now. Grandma was so proud of her son for his service and she was a lifelong member of the Navy Mother's Club in his honor.
Millard Coleman was born on May 21, 1919 in Broken Bow, Nebraska to Opal Edith Gardner Coleman and Frederick M. Coleman. He grew up in Alliance, Nebraska where he graduated in 1936. He met his wife, Helen Lyon in Alliance and they were married in Salt Lake City in 1941. During WWII, Millard joined the Coast Guard and during the war he and Helen lived in various places during his service years and they eventually settled in Boise, Idaho where they spent the rest of their life working and raising two children. Millard Coleman passed away in 2008 and is buried in Boise, Idaho.
♥Remembering our uncle, Millard R. Coleman, with love and honor.

I'm fine with it. I mean, we were told at NYTF that the figure was called "Battleground Teela". To me, that meant Teela in a particular battleground armor of some sort. What were people expecting?
I don't want more than one toy of each character on my display and consider the filmation looking Teela to be my definitive Teela but this is a cool looking toy so she will be Vikors biatch.
I don't mind that she is Teela, especially if the bio is well written.
Although that's a huge "IF".
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
Still gonna get her. Don't really care about the bio. She's just the comic version of Teela to me. Maybe even somewhat of a Preternia Teela when I set her next to Vikor.
She's not THEE Teela though. THEE Teela is the most popular looking Teela obviously.
I am disappointed but I will still buy her.
Such a missed opportunity to have a new character. The bio could cetainly save it though so I will wait and see
I don't care, and I will still buy her. I like the bios too though, they're clever and interesting.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
More interesting, is why she has no cleavage?
Where is the 'It does not matter' choice; these are just fictionalized characters.

Doesn't matter a single bit to me. It's toys. They can be what ever I want them to be.
Vikor is Conan, and "Battleground Teela" is his love interest. Admittedly, she does look like a mix between Belit, Valeria and Red Sonja, so maybe I'll just give her a new bio. Teela, Conan's love interest. Yeah that can work.
Check out my blog about toys and food: http://toysandbacon.blogspot.com/
That's How It Should Be!!!
I was anticipating that Battleground Teela was going to be someone else--probably a precursor who ran around during the Oo-Larr days, namely Teela's mum who is also named Teela. Now she turns out to be our Teela.
Now Teela being blonde and having two outfits is not only now legitimate, but it is now apart of the MOTU mythos going forward as one of her looks. It's akin to the black Spider-man or the Gray Hulk, once questioned looks but now apart of those characters' mythos. I look forward to this happening with Queen Marlena if we get all three DC Comic (white hair), Filmation (Orange hair) and MYP (brown hair) royal looks.
IN MY CANON...I'll have Teela interchange between these two looks freely (how I love choice!), but she'll be blonde most of the time. Sorta like how I do with 200X He-Man (Re-deco KG with TRU He-Man's head) and Classic He-Man. Somedays I have 200X He-Man up, other days I have Classic He-Man up.
Teela is now in good company: all of the major MOTUC women have multiple looks...Evil-Lyn (4), The Sorceress (3), Queen Marlena (5), She-Ra (4) and Catra (4). I'm on Cloud 10 right now. I haven't been THIS excited for a figure since She-Ra! It's feels great to feel like everyone else for a change.

There was no "I don't mind because she looks cool" option but that is how I feel and I will get her. However I will place her in the era of Vikor, King Grayskull, He-Ro etc.
"I can usually be found hanging out somewhere between 1980-1989."
Disappointed but will still get her.
I think what people need to realize, is that there is a major separation between a figure and a character.
That said, I love this figure, but I don't care for her being an actual Teela. I'd have been happy if they'd said it was a "Teela" from a previous time, the same as how Oo-Lar and Wundar are the "He-Men" from previous times.
However, the good thing about there not being any official MOTU canon being presented by any sort of media (comic, toon, movie, etc), is that I can ignore aspects of the "established" bios as I see fit.
This, this "Teela" is merely a companion for either Vikor, Wundar, or Oo-Lar (when he eventually arrives). I just haven't decided which one yet. Perhaps when Oo-Lar finally arrives, I'll have made a choice at that time. I also haven't decided if I'll keep her name as "Teela", or something else entirely.
200X Power Sword, 200X Toon, 200X Continuity.... Yeah, it's all about 200X!!
Fine with me.
Fits in with my personal "early ancestors of main characters" concept I have in my personal "Universe".

I think this figure is awesome. She's an accurate interpretation of her appearance in the DC comic (and she had blonde hair in the mini comics too, sometimes). I recognize that there is a certain amount of "artistic licence" when it comes to fictional characters, so I can't get upset that new versions of established characters aren't always "faithful" to the original interpretations.
I love this version of Teela. I love having multiple versions like Battle Armor He-Man and blonde Teela. It makes it feel like it's a bigger universe. Every toy line has multiple versions of the main characters. Just look at Star Wars and G.I.Joe.
A journey that began long ago in a place neither near nor far

Until now.
This is our story. These are our heroes
I'm dissapoint, but I dont care, she will be Teela that hung out with young man-at-arms and 00-larr n such, per minicomics, ect. I believe she is/should be Teela-Na, the sorceress before.
Or perhaps Vikor ladyfriend as has been suggested
I Don't Care Since I Ignore The Bios Anyway!!!
I'm really glad that this was an option.
Odd Man Out
I said I'm disappointed but would buy her since I have a subscription, and thus no choice, but I wouldn't buy her otherwise. The Teela transition, as I like to call it, makes no sense. Why would she bother going from blonde to a redhead? She's never been that worried about her looks. Or even COULD she go from a blonde to a redhead? I don't think Loreal markets to Eternia. It would just make a lot more sense for her to be another character.
Good Trades with: MOTU_Maniac, bmoore, Riddle of Steel, sandrockgundam04, Brian Ozone, and blue monkey.
I see the SSJ in your name so I hope you get the reference but remember when Vegeta had like brown hair and as the series went along it became black? They never really explained that transition. Leave it up to your imagination.

That was due to cel painting artists getting the shade wrong at first. Those kinds of things used to happen all the time in cel painted animation. This hair (and clothing for that matter) change is a very different situation, and just doesn't make much sense given what we know of both Teela and Eternia.

I wish that battle ground Teela was apart the two pack of MOTU vs DC. Because Im not a fan of her.
There is all ready Teela and the Goddess (which is just a repaint of Teela) I hope this MOTUC toy line don't have too many variations of the same characters.

Genevieve Rose Randall will tell you that she doesn't like competition, but with some encouragement, she entered the Texaco Country Showdown a day before the deadline and won the local round of the contest.
She wasn't expecting to win, but now that she has, she is "on cloud nine" and really excited for the next stage of competition.
The 19-year-old rural Morenci resident has used her talent for singing and playing guitar for a decade, starting out on a karaoke machine at age 9.
When she's on the stage, seeing people smile makes Genevieve happy. She plays a lot of older country songs that many listeners love, but are surprised to hear. She's often asked, "How do you know these songs?"
Genevieve has written some of her own songs, but she is only just getting started in songwriting. A dream of hers would be to some day sing at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Continuing on in the competition, Genevieve will perform Aug. 9 in the state portion at Bay County Fair in Bay City, Mich. The winner of the state finals will move on to national contest, with the winner receiving a recording contract and $100,000.
Some of Genevieve's upcoming local performances include Adrian First Fridays at 6 p.m. June 7 at the Pavilion and the Lenawee County Fair July 27.
• Genevieve completed her self-titled "Genevieve Rose" CD in January. To obtain a copy, write to her at P.O. Box 44 Morenci, MI 49256.

Brockley in the media: The Sunday Times' "Buying and Selling"
A Brockley flat features in a piece on buying houses at auction in today's Sunday Times.
The writer visits places in Kilburn, Crystal Palace and Camberwell, before coming to her senses and checking out SE4:
"The third property I singled out was a lower-ground-floor flat in Brockley, a short drive to the southeast. It was on Wickham Road, a beautiful street lined with oak trees and impressive Grade II-listed homes. A five-minute walk from Brockley station (a stop on the East London Line extension, due to open in 2010), the flat was in a Victorian brick house with a jolly red staircase."
But like many Brockley landlords, the owner hadn't bothered to do some basic improvements before putting it on the market:
"It was not quite so jolly inside: the walls were filthy and cracked, and the smell of damp was overpowering. The flat had gone on the market at £190,000 in March, but was going to auction with a guide price of £110,000-£120,000. The owners, who lived in the country and had been letting out the flat, appeared to have put little effort into making it attractive to potential buyers. The ceilings were fairly high for a lower-ground-floor flat and most of the problems were cosmetic: the kitchen cupboards were filthy, while the garish bathroom decor, all fake marble tiles, dirty pink cupboards and swirly bronze handles, made me want to run a mile.
"Dealing with all this would cost a lot of money, but given that one-bed flats in the area sell for upwards of £180,000, it still seemed a good deal..."
And guess what? The flat failed to reach its reserve price at auction. So instead of a property supplement writer living in the area, we have an empty, mildewed husk.
As an anon points out in 'Suggest a Topic', the final twist is an apocalyptic note from a 'former estate agent', who took a folder of hyperbole with him when he cleared his desk:
"I wouldn't waste your hard earned cash on areas like Brockley. Wait another year and you will find you can afford Clapham and Battersea. Wait another two years and you will find you can afford to move to Fulham. Happy hunting from a former estate agent.
Lawrence, London, UK"

Orwellian 101
In the book 1984, the totalitarian government known as "Big Brother", uses high technology and cleverly crafted language known as "Newspeak" to control the minds of the masses. In that fictional world, any person thinking about notions of freedom or revolution was punished with torture or severe brainwashing. You see, in that world, thinking about true freedom was considered a "thoughtcrime". So Big Brother used "Newspeak" to get people to think in narrow terms, limiting the range of thought, in order to make "thoughtcrime" impossible.
I'm getting sick and tired of the Orwellian Newspeak. Just turn on the television, all you hear is Orwellian Newspeak. Nothing is as it seems.
Nation Building
Lately I've been hearing pundits argue the pros and cons of "nation building". Sorry, I prefer the old term-- "colonialism". You see, when you invade and occupy a sovereign nation in an instance where they have not attacked you and thereafter kill and oppress their people for your national interests, its called colonialism. So even if I hear the mainstream media focusing on the negative aspects of "nation building", they already missed the point. Using the term "nation building" automatically removes the thought of colonialism from the discussion. With "nation building" as a starting point, all you're left to argue is whether its good or bad to "build nations". So how bad could it be?
You don't build a nation by killing and oppressing it's people, ruining it's infrastructure, and usurping its natural resources. Thats called "colonization". And you certainly don't build nations by introducing radioactive material to the population. This brings us to........
Depleted Uranium
Your television will never mention the topic of depleted uranium. Depleted Uranium (DU) is a dense, radioactive metal used for armor-piercing shells. American tanks and A-10's fired DU munitions all over Iraq, littering the Iraqi terrain with an estimated 75 tons of DU shells. (These shells have been found to contain traces of Plutonium, which is the most toxic substance we know of. With a half-life of 4.5 billion years, Iraq is destined to be a radioactive nightmare for the rest of human history.)
Beside the fact that our media rarely discusses depleted uranium, when it does get mentioned, it's misleadingly called "depleted uranium". That's Orwellian newspeak again. It should really be called what it is-- "Enriched Uranium"
"The term "Depleted" refers to the removal of uranium-235, but the process for its removal is called "Enrichment." It is Enrichment because what remains is uranium-238, a highly potent radioactive carcinogen that emits alpha particles. Once in our body, either inhaled, or in a flesh wound, or even ingested in contaminated food or water --- you get cancer in your lungs bones, blood or kidneys (Caldicott, 2002). There is one more way, the Uranium is Enriched. Uranium-236 and Uranium-238, otherwise know as Plutonium is laced into the so-called "Depleted" uranium weaponry." -- David M. Boje, Ph.D. (March 13, 2003).You see, this clever language makes it hard for the public to discern that we fought a nuclear war in Iraq. To be precise, it was an Enriched Uranium Nuclear War. And there is a profound reason for this Orwellian language-- Enriched Uranium weaponry is illegal under the terms and conditions of the Geneva Convention. It is a violation of the Geneva Convention to leave harmful materials on a battlefield after the conflict has ceased.
This brings us to....
Dirty Bombs
Funny thing is, when other people use weapons similar to our "depleted uranium" we call those weapons "dirty bombs". When discussing the threat from the point of view of the potential victim rather than the victimizer, our government is finally honest in it's description. And with that more honest term, "dirty bomb", the government is able to elicit fear.
'We use depleted uranium (harmless), they use dirty bombs (dangerous)'
True, "dirty bombs" work differently than "depleted uranium shells" but their long-term effects are quite similar. Both leave the same kind of horrific damage-- a radioactive mess!
This brings us to.....
Operation Iraqi Freedom
In the late 1980's, the Pentagon became very clever in it's description of military events. Wheras in the past, the government had simply adopted honest and generic titles for its foreign wars (i.e. Vietnam War, Korean War, World War II, etc.), in 1989 the Pentagon became Orwellian. Specifically, the Pentagon decided to call the invasion of Panama "Operation Just Cause". It's not easy to argue against a war when that war isn't even labeled as a war, and is furthermore labeled on it's face as a 'just cause'? Just like Orwell's Newspeak, the government is able to sell us language which limits our ability to think for ourselves.
Operation Iraqi Freedom is no different. Who doesn't want the Iraqis to be free? So how could anybody protest a war that is 'righteous' on its face? Certainly anybody who disagrees with Operation Iraqi Freedom is anti-freedom, right?
With purposeful traingulation, the government chooses language that puts independent thinkers at a strong disadvantage. The government is well aware that most people don't have the time (or ability) to think through or beyond the language that they introduce. You see, when they choose the words that can be used in the discussion, and sell it to an unquestioning and/or brain-dead media, it becomes increasingly difficult to speak out without having to first breakdown all of the preconceptions that arise from the language. I mean really, how could anybody protest 'Iraqi freedom'?
This brings us to......
Defense Contractors
We've all heard about the armed "defense contractors" roaming Iraq. These are people who work for private defense companies (e.g. Halliburton, Bechtel, etc.), armed with state of the art weaponry, and immune from all liability for any acts they commit in Iraq. In essence, these are men who can "privately" (and secretly) kill whomever they wish in Iraq without any oversight or risk of penalty. In the old days, they used to call these people what they really are, as defined in the dictionary-- "mercenaries".
The term "defense contractor" makes it sound like they are all out there building schools or installing an extra bathroom in some poor Iraqi family's house. Perhaps some of them are actually building schools. But the reality is, the mercenaries comprise the second largest military force in Iraq. Yup, there are more private warriors than British troops. Using Orwellian speak, however, the government gets to obfuscate the hidden reality of the mercenaries. They are armed and beholdent to nobody!
There are so many more examples of Orwellian speak. If your Orwell Radar is turned on, you will catch it everywhere. Social Security Reform (should be called "Social Security Removal"), No Child Left Behind (should be called "No Child's Behind Left"), Death Tax (should be referred to as the "Wealthy Family Inheritance Tax"), Clear Skies Initiative (should be called the "Clear Lies, Dirty Skies Initiative"), the Defense of Marriage Act of 2004 (should be called the "Sexual Intolerance Act of the Book of Leviticus")....and it goes on and on.
"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end, we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it... The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought as we understand it now." -- character from Orwell's 1984.

text: The Panama Papers: addressing the consequences Global Tax Alert Partilhar 7 APR 2016 Approximately 11.5 million internal documents were leaked to media organizations around the world that reveal the operations of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. The law firm's leaked files (popularly known as the Panama Papers) show that Mossack Fonseca worked with more than 14,000 banks, law firms and companies to establish shell companies and offshore bank accounts in tax havens for its clients, which include high-profile individuals and public officials. Several countries – among them the United States, France, Germany, Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands – have already begun investigations into the Panama Papers. Although there are legitimate reasons to utilize a Panamanian corporation, individuals exposed by the Panama Papers as potentially engaging in improper activities may face criminal prosecution in the United States. For activities that had an impact in the US, charges could potentially include tax evasion, mail or wire fraud, money laundering and other crimes. Federal prosecutors may also seek to establish jurisdiction over foreign persons to the extent that activities involved US intermediaries or transactions cleared in US dollars through correspondent accounts. A spokesperson for the US Department of Justice stated this week that the government would investigate "all credible allegations of high-level, foreign corruption that might have a link to the United States or the US financial system." Independently, the US Treasury Department has issued proposed regulations, known as "customer due diligence" or "CDD Rules" to require US financial institutions to identify any individual who owns 25-percent or more of an entity owning a US bank account. The CDD Rules are intended to ensure the US banking industry has systems in place to track the ultimate beneficial owners of US accounts and avoid the type of secretive financial transactions disclosed in the Panama Papers. Notably, however, in addition to jurisdictional questions, the Justice Department may face evidentiary challenges to the use of the leaked records. Kathryn Keneally, chair of DLA Piper's Civil and Criminal Tax Controversy practice and the former Assistant Attorney General for the Tax Division of the US Department of Justice, states, "Since 2008, the Justice Department and the IRS have steadily increased enforcement activities to crack down on the use of offshore structures and foreign bank accounts for tax evasion, money laundering, and other crimes. Anyone who is concerned about these activities should act quickly to address those concerns." For more information, please contact Kathryn Keneally or Michael A. Silva.

Plans for an east Houma subdivision for low-income families are getting under way after more than three years of deliberation.
Plans for an east Houma subdivision for low-income families are getting under way after more than three years of deliberation.
The Terrebonne Parish Council approved a $2.7 million loan, using federal hurricane recovery money, for the development of the Parkwood Place Subdivision.
The council met Monday as its Community Development and Planning Committee. It is expected to give final approval to the loan when it meets as the full council Wednesday evening.
Houma developer S.P. LaRussa plans to develop a residential community containing 226 lots on about 44 acres on East Street, between Senator Street and Memory Lane. The loan would pay to install infrastructure such as roads, drainage and sewerage.
LaRussa said he hopes to break ground in November and start building homes by March.
Fifty-one percent of the homes will be sold to households making up to 80 percent of the area's median income or less. For a family of four, that means an annual income of $45,000 or less. For a single person, the threshold is $29,950.
Parkwood Place would be a subdivision consisting of curb and gutter streets, underground utilities, community sewerage, sidewalks, landscaping, fencing and green spaces.
The traditional, "stick-built homes are designed to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The home sizes would range from 1,100 to 1,500 square feet and would cost between $125,000 and $135,000. They would be financed through existing first-time homebuyer programs.
"This is part of the Community Development Recovery money we received after Hurricane Gustav and Ike to reinvest $5 million for affordable home ownership, and this is the first project we're doing," said Council Chairwoman Arlanda Williams.
LaRussa said he is excited about wrapping up the project. All local labor and materials will be used in the construction of the subdivision, he said.
"It's been a slow process, but this subdivision is badly needed in Terrebonne," LaRussa said. "This place has been neglected all my life, but this subdivision will change that."

I always keep my operating system and security software such as AV and firewall up-to-date. I know I'm not 100% safe out there (Sony's PSN outage, anyone?), but is that enough for a typical user? Do I have to worry about something else?
Maliha (I don't work for lenovo)
ThinkPads:- T400[Win 7], T60[Win 7], IBM 240[Win XP]
IdeaPad: U350Apple:- Macbook Air [Snow Leopard]
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes, in my view. Some important suggestions:
1. If you have broadband, use a router/firewall behind the broadband entry point. Having said that, many ISPs are providing broadband modems with built in router and firewall capabilities. If you have an ISP supplied modem which you suspect contains a router/firewall, call your ISP and ask. If the modem does indeed have a router/firewall, ask your ISP how you can tell if the router/firewall has been turned on. As with any security system (software or hardware) they should be kept up to date. Router/firewalls are actually small low powered computers. Their "firmware" or built in software, should always be kept up to date. ISPs will usually push firmware updates to your router/firewall/modem if it is their hardware. If you purchased one yourself, make sure to periodically visit the manufacturer's site to check if new firmware has been released.
2. Learn more about the nature of malware threats on the Internet. Visit specialized sites like mine (SpywareHammer) or other UNITE members to follow what types of malware they are seeing, and how they infected victims systems.
3. Use safe browsing. Limit your exposure on social networks like Facebook and Twitter by keeping your data private and secure. Be wary and suspicious of everything you receive in your email - there is a lot of fake stuff out there, and phishing is rampant these days. Most of all, be smart, and always watch for potential scams or unsafe sites.
4. If you ever suspect your system is compromised, get it checked at a known site that does malware removal. UNITE is a good guide for reputable well known trustworthy sites that do proper malware removal. And, our sites are all completely free - we never charge for our services.

"UNITE is a good guide for reputable well known trustworthy sites that do proper malware removal."
True, although the sites listed at UNITE is limited to sites which also host training facilities. A fairly comprehensive list of sites providing malware removal help by trained analysts, including non-English language help sites, that I compiled is available here. [Edited to correct URL formatting.]
Should anyone need to seek help at one of the malware removal forums, be sure to read the instructions provided at the site where you seek help as the instructions may vary from site to site.
Security is never passive and there are a host of 'safe hex' practices you should follow. But it would take more than a forum response to adequately address all of these so I will address only your patching question.
Keeping your OS and security software up to date is only part of the battle. Most malware today is distributed via the Web and most of those exploits are via third-party plugins such as Java, Adobe Reader/Acrobat, Flash, Quicktime, etc. Many of these third-party plugins come pre-installed so many users may not even be aware of their existence. But left unpatched, they can quickly lead to silent drive-by infections.
Qualys has a handy (and free) online tool that will check the patch level of these third-party plugins and let you know what needs updating: https://browsercheck.qualys.com/
Other installed software can also cause a problem. Secunia Online Inspector is a free and quick way to check the patch status of these: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/
Visiting both of these sites at least monthly for a quick checkup will help ensure all the needed critical patches are installed.
Great information, mlande! There is also a installable version of the Secunia program, Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI). The Secunia programs will only provide information about security updates, not version changes that do not address security vulnerabilities.
Something to think about is that a lot of people have Java because it was part of the original setup. However, it really isn't needed. Following reasons why someone may need Oracle Java installed on their computer:
Yes, the things that are mentioned above are correct. You should not limit the updates on your OS and AV products alone, you should also make sure to get the updates/patches of the softwares that you're using on your computer. A good example that was mentioned already was Adobe. There are multiple vulnerabilities that were discovered on their Acrobat product and they released updates/patches to address those.
Another one is your browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.). The developers of these browsers are also releasing updates and patches to address the vulnerabilities found on their softwares.
11-30-2011 03:28 PM - edited 11-30-2011 03:30 PM
As Microsoft has hardened recent versions of Windows and Office against attack, attackers have renewed their efforts to attack other parts of the software ecosystem. In particular, Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash and the Oracle (formerly Sun) Java runtimes are all commonly targeted due to their ubiquity and being rich frameworks that allow all sorts of third-party constructs. These programs all contain update mechanisms which allow them to update themselves, but sometimes a vulnerability may not be patched for a while, which allows for all sorts of exploits to be crafted.
As previously mentioned, Secunia's Personal Software Inspector, or PSI, for short, is a good solution for home users who want to check their computers for out-of-date programs.

I usually recommend UNITE sites because of the training facilities. That way we know their staff is top-notch because they are constantly staying updated on new threats and removal techniques.
Trend Micro also a has list of recommended malware removal forums:

The inaugural Decanter World Wine Awards 2004 saw many of our wines recognised by the judges.
Both the Valenciso Reserva 1999 and Valenciso Reserva 2000 vintages of our Rioja from Compañia Bodeguera de Valenciso were awarded Silver medals, while from Toro, Bodegas Fariña won a Bronze medal for their Gran Colegiata Reserva 1996.
Caves Fermí Bohigas also received a Commended for its lovely fresh Blanc de Blancs 2003 - quite an achievement, given that Spain isn't really reknowned for its white wines, although we feel we have found a gem here.
Fans of our wines from Utiel-Requena will be delighted to know that Bodegas Virasa Vinícola also had a very successful year, with the Cerro Bercial Reserva 1999 winning a Bronze while their stunning new wine 'El Perdio' 2001 was Commended. This latter wine is definitely one to watch - not really ready for drinking now (although you can and we do after decanting and letting it breathe for a number of hours!), this will be an amazing wine in a few years. Buy some now and keep it if you can.
Congratulations to all our bodegas - we look forward to trying the new vintages in due course!

There has been a lot of talk about Pepsi's use of social media, with millions of Facebook fans and Twitter followers generated out of big budget campaigns. But this is just a little bit different, introducing the new Pepsi Social Vending Maching.
This video shows the full capabilities of the digitally-connected touch-screen social vending machine, which includes letting users send free drinks to their friends by entering your friend's name, mobile number and personalised text message with a code redeemable at any PepsiCo vending machine. Consumers can also personalise the message with a short video recorded by the machine which is kinda cool, but seems pointless?
This is a nice concept but it seems to be lacking "real" social integration. The involvement required here for a consumer to gift or receive a free drink is quite high and it feels like the potential to spread this message via social networks is currently non-existent, with a PepsiCo rep saying that Facebook or other social integration "are Phase 2 — being explored as it evolves.", but surely for a social vending machine that would be stage one?
I'm keen to see where they'll take this, but importantly, what do you think it?

Mellinger Mennonite Church (Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA)
Mellinger Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), located at 1916 Lincoln Highway E., Lancaster, PA, is one of the strongest and largest congregations of the Lancaster Mennonite Conference. With Jacob and Felix Landis, Martin Bare, Jacob Kreider, Joseph and Dorous Buckwalter, and others, Mennonite immigrants from the Palatinate, able to buy land from the London Company by 1722, the fertile acres soon became a prosperous Mennonite community. The settlers first worshiped in private homes. But at least by 1767 had a meetinghouse, called Lampiter. A schoolhouse adjoining was added later. Martin Bare as minister signed the Dordrecht Confession at the 1725 conference in Germantown. Benjamin Landis was his early co-worker as preacher followed by Jacob Hartman, Bishop Tobias Kreider, and John Stauffer in the 18th century. Martin Mellinger (1763-1842), an immigrant from the Palatinate, was a prominent deacon. When a new meetinghouse, now a sexton's house, was built in 1855, it was named in his honor. A new meetinghouse was built on the present site in 1884, with extensive remodeling in 1894. The 1950s brick meetinghouse replaced it in 1914. This has always been one of the two largest congregations in the Lancaster Conference, and remained largely rural in the 1950s, although located only three miles (5 km) from the center of Lancaster. In the mid-20th century the city rapidly moved to engulf the congregation and its building. Among the prominent ministers of first half of the 20th century were John and Tobias Kreider, David Buckwalter, Adam Ranck, John L. and Sanford B. Landis. In 1956 the membership was 600, with Elmer G. Martin as bishop, and David L. Landis and Harry S. Lefever as preachers. In 2005 the membership was 391.

Have you been shelving your dream? Or you don't know quite what you really want?
Join me on Wednesday, October 18 - I'm starting a new Success Team, based on Barbara Sher's book, "Wishcraft," now in its 19th printing. http://www.wishcraft.com
Wishcraft sets forth a practical, no-nonsense formula for getting what you want that relies on a simple method - End isolation - based on a simple idea - You can get what you want even if you don't have a positive attitude, money, skills or connections. This is not therapy. We won't be creating a vision board. It's not woo-woo (not that there's anything wrong with that!), but it will be fun and it will WORK.
For 8 weeks, we will meet once a week to identify our dreams, set goals, brainstorm on how to get ourselves there, and help each other keep up the momentum. It begins on Wednesday, October 18 and continues until Wednesday, December 13, at B'nai Keshet synagogue in Montclair.
Barbara's TED Talk on the secret to Success Teams -- what's been described as the most effective strategy to enact real change -- can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2rG4Dg6xyI&t=2s
It's never too late to get what you really want! Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested in attending. Space is limited!

Here is my VW shell, I only used it once, too nice to bash about.
Nice bright colors!
Lets see that mounted to the car
I was able to finish mine this past weekend. While not an original idea, there are more than a few on this post, it was what I wanted to do from the time the body came out. I decided to omit the ragtop opting for a hardtop race version. Details on the truck, er, car: VXL setup, RPM bumper, shock towers, rear motor guards and mount, skids, Traxxas dish lite wheels (fronts all around), Pro-Line Gladiators in rear and Pro-Line Edge tires in front. RPM arms to come as needed and big bore shocks are on the short list. We are considering a bug topped SC class at the track which would be pretty cool. I have another bug in the works that will be painted more like the retro sand scorcher versions pictured in this thread.

Thank you, the frogs are inside the rest are exterior except the hood, it is paint.

I've recently been playing a lot, and I mean A LOT of Samurai Warriors 3 for the Nintendo Wii recently and I decided to just look around online to see if anyone had anything to add to my experience.
The first thing I noticed, however, is video game reviewers; IGN gave this game a 3/10. I was confused at first, I started to wonder if I was a suck up or if I just didn't see the game the way anyone did. So I clicked the IGN link and read one of the most awful examples of Video Games Reviewing of all time. Now granted, I'm sure a lot of people don't like the game but being platformed on the Wii, I'm sure a lot of Samurai (and maybe even Dynasty) Warriors fans were on the fence whether or not wanting to buy this and this review surely pushed a lot of people to the wrong side of the fence.
You can read the review for yourself if you want but basically the whole review is bashing the game for, you guessed it, "It's just the same as the other games in the franchise", which is fair enough, I know that some people only like a couple Warriors games and, myself, I like many of them because I can find the smallest differences to be at least something new and exciting to what I already know and love. But the fact that the review only talks about the negatives and makes them even more negative but the author's word choice is just wrong.
And what's wrong with this is, like I said, the author makes everything a negative within the review. Instead of saying something like "The character models seem to be quite repetitive" they say "It's just the same fat ugly muddy guys" that is no way to review a game. Now I believe Video Game Reviewing should be all about telling people how good a game is , rather than is this game good or bad because everyone has an opinion and, and by saying the game is "not good" instead of "could be better" really throws away a lot of people and it shouldn't be like that people should choose for themselves if the game is good enough for them and not have someone else choose for them.
I know I ranted on for a bit and there's still a lot I want to get covered here, but imagine if this was for Call of Duty,or a Fifa game, I bet a ton of people would be thrown off and get angry at IGN. Like I said, I know some people don't like it, and I know many people would give it a 3/10 but to say the game is "awful" instead of "It's not fantastic but fans of the series would like it" is just horrible Video Game Reviewing Etiquette that people have gotten into.

It's almost Halloween - hooray! I don't know what it is about this holiday that always has me a bit giddy. We are definitely not the family to recreate a graveyard in our front yard or go to town carving pumpkins. But, I love my Halloween decorations that come out of the box each year, and have been enjoying creating a few new ones this year.
First up, another bunting/garland. I made my first appliqued bunting for little A's birthday. I thought I would do another very similar but with square panels instead of triangles (it was kind of tricky fitting and centering the letters on the pennants). I had planned to sew orange pom poms to connect all the letters but then saw the orange rick-rack and went with that. After seeing an old post on Made by Rae, I decided to use the tiny black rick-rack to make little tags instead.
All in all, I like the look of this, but, let me tell you: it is NOT easy to slide tiny rick-rack along a larger rick-rack length. And....if you want to get a photo of your completed project, don't do it on a windy day - these letters were flipping around all over the place! (Where I actually hang the bunting inside is in our stairwell - the light is really tricky for getting a good photo.)
Also, if you have a dog, you might want to keep him inside for your outdoor photo shoot or he might grab the bunting and run for it, causing a tangeld, twisted mess (not that MY dog did that...wait, yes he did. Sigh...)
On a last, wonderfully positive note: I found a new product that I love, love, love - Sulky Temporary Spray Adhesive. Not using iron-on fusible web makes me feel a bit like a cheater, but it was soo easy to simply spray, stick and sew!
Happy Halloween!

If you turn to page 109 of Lindsay McCrum's photo book, you'll see a photo of a woman wearing jeans and a green baseball cap standing in a grassy field. She's looking straight at the camera, clutching a semi-automatic rifle as if it were a water bottle. Standing between her legs is her son, his blond hair peeking out from behind her thigh as he poses with his toy gun, a miniature of his mother's.
More than 15 million women in the U.S. are gun owners, and 78 of them are in McCrum's new book, Chicks With Guns. McCrum tells Rachel Martin, guest host of weekends on All Things Considered, that the idea came to her while reading an article in The Economist.
"I was really struck by the extraordinary size and scope of the gun business," she says. McCrum began reaching out to women who owed guns across the country and visiting them at their homes to do photo shoots.
Part Of Family Life
Chicks With Guns features women of all ages and backgrounds posing in a variety of settings. On one page, a bride holds a pistol; on another, stuffed animals surround an elderly woman wearing a big grin and holding a revolver.
McCrum's original intent was to include only photographs, but halfway through the project she realized she needed to include more of the story.
"When anyone looks at a portrait, whether it's a painting or a photograph, they project onto that picture," McCrum says. "Now you add a gun into the picture, and a woman, and there's even more projection."
So she added narratives taken from her conversations with the women. "It provided a context, the history and the achievement of these women," she says.
While many of the women McCrum profiled became interested in guns because of the men in their lives, they developed their own relationship with firearms. Guns are a welcome part of their families' lives.
"What I learned ... is how important the activity of shooting and hunting is as a family activity," McCrum says. "I also realized that if you or I had grown up in a different region of the country, odds are we would have had our hunting tags by the time we were 12."
Guns, Politics And Self-Defense
McCrum's book shows that hunting isn't the only reason women own guns in the U.S. As the project evolved, she began to photograph women in law enforcement. Then came women who owned guns for protection. One woman bought a gun after working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher.
"When you get people who have witnessed people who have been victims of crimes, they have a very different relationship [with guns]," McCrum says.
Her images of women who own guns for self-defense tend to elicit a common response, she says: "What a sad commentary that is on our culture that a woman would feel the need to have a gun in order to feel safe and protect herself and her family."
Despite the controversy guns inevitably bring up, McCrum insists politics has nothing to do with her images — in fact, that was something that helped her build trust with her subjects.
"I would always make it very clear there was no political or ideological agenda attached to this body of work," she says.
McCrum, who has never owned a gun herself, says completing the book left her with a larger understanding of the role guns play in women's lives.
"There's a remarkable diversity of women," she says, "and there's an extraordinary range of reasons they own guns."
When fine art photographer Lindsay McCrum was putting the finishing touches on a book about fashion and young girls, she decided her next project would feature women and a very different kind of accessory - pistols, rifles, revolvers - all kinds of guns. In her new book, "Chicks with Guns," Lindsay McCrum captures intimate portraits of some of the millions of women in the U.S. who own and use guns for work or protection or as a hobby. Lindsay joins me now from member station KQED in San Francisco. Lindsay, thanks so much for talking with us.
LINDSAY MCCRUM: Thank you.
MARTIN: I want to start out by talking about the cover of the book. There is a very small, petite young woman on the cover in a gray dress. She is reclined on an oriental rug, and next to her is a full staff(ph) that's been mounted, and a 19th century pistol, and four antique guns are hanging on the wall. What's the story here?
MCCRUM: Her name is Greta. Her dad is an antique gun dealer. And what was fascinating is that you look at her and you think, oh, this was just a beautifully posed picture and that she has no relationship to guns. She's been shooting ever since she was a child. And there was a PBS special on Annie Oakley where the producer had seen her shooting clay pigeons, and they hired her to play the young Annie Oakley in the PBS special.
MARTIN: Why women and guns? How did this idea kind of congeal for you, of all the things you could focus on?
MCCRUM: Well, I think if you had picked one word, Rachel, about this entire project, it would be unexpected. In the spring of 2006, I read an article in The Economist talking about how hunting and guns was such enormous business. And I was really struck by the extraordinary size and scope of the gun business, and I thought it could be potentially an interesting subject. But I never intended it to be a book.
MARTIN: The photos themselves are remarkable and very memorable. I mean, there are women of all ages posing in a variety of places, some in their homes, some outdoors. And often, what's striking is that the photos are really incongruous. You know, everything from a bride holding a pistol or an elderly woman with this huge smile on her face, and she's surrounded by stuffed animals, and there she is holding a revolver. And you didn't just photograph these women. You did, as you mentioned, you had to talk with them.
MCCRUM: Well, the text actually evolved halfway through the project because when anyone looks at a portrait, they project onto that picture. Now, you add a gun into the picture and a woman and there's even more projection that happens. So the narratives were added halfway through the project, and I think that it was really important because it provided a context, the history and the achievement of these women.
MARTIN: When you talked with these women and learned their stories, which ones really stuck with you?
MCCRUM: There were certain ones that I thought were really amusing. One woman, Jenny in New York, she said, I can't imagine my life before firearms. You know, at this point, I think I own more guns than shoes.
MARTIN: Wow.
MCCRUM: And then another woman, Wendy, in Houston, Texas, said I don't wear perfume, but I love the smell of cordite.
MCCRUM: And then, one of my other favorite ones was...
MARTIN: Cordite, I assume for all the gun novices out there, cordite is used in ammo or something?
MCCRUM: Yeah, it's that smell of gunpowder...
MARTIN: There you go.
MCCRUM: ...when it goes off.
MARTIN: Lindsay McCrum, each woman in the book has a different kind of relationship with the gun. You can tell. I was struck by Pamela on page 18. She's very elegantly dressed carrying - what's that gun? It looks very intimidating.
MCCRUM: Oh, a .454 Casull hunting handgun.
MARTIN: Oh, of course.
MCCRUM: That gun has so much kick. And what is interesting is people look at that photograph, and they think: oh, well, that's a model, and she's holding that gun. And in the photograph, she's surrounded by this taxidermy. And then you read her text, and I love it because she talks about, well, I'm 5'2" and weigh 110 pounds and going up the mountains with a .375 rifle got a little heavy, so I started investigating hunting handguns. Well, I now shoot with a .454 Casull hunting handgun. That gun has so much recoil most men can't shoot it.
MARTIN: So speaking of the gender roles in gun ownership, how many of the women that you spoke with got into guns because of a man in their life?
MCCRUM: Quite a few. I would say 75 percent, probably, it was their dads that taught them to how to shoot. And then you got husbands or boyfriends. In the narratives, only one woman talks about going out and shooting with her mom.
MARTIN: And, you know, that's this incongruous idea again that, you know, we don't often think of women and their kids and firearms all being part of the same dynamic. I wonder how many of the women that you talked with discussed how owning a gun affected their families.
MCCRUM: Well, what I learned, which was really interesting, from the book is how important the activity of shooting and hunting is as a family activity. And I also realized that if you or I had grown up in a different region of the country, odds are we would have had our hunting tags by the time we were 12.
MARTIN: Yeah. I turned that down, but I did happen to grow up in Idaho in a part of the country where people carried guns, and it was kind of part of growing up. We took guns out to shoot at aluminum cans. We didn't ever shoot at anything that was living. But it was part of where we lived and what people did. You know, interesting, there's one woman, though, in your book who talks about getting a gun to protect her family. Tell me about her.
MCCRUM: She has a job as a 911 dispatcher. And when you get people who have witnessed people who have been victims of crimes, they have a very different relationship. When I first started the project, most of the women I photographed were either hunters or competitive shooters. And then as the project evolved, I started photographing law enforcement, women who collected guns, and then women who had guns for self-defense.
And many people comment when they see, for example, pictures of the children, let's say, with the mother and the gun, will say, what a sad commentary that is on our culture that a woman would feel the need to have a gun in order to feel safe and protect herself and her family.
MARTIN: And exactly, you talk about how one could say that this is a sad kind of commentary. On the other hand, there is a sense of empowerment in these photographs. Were you trying to get at something political in this book?
MCCRUM: No, not at all. And how I got the talent was I would always make it very clear there was no political or ideological agenda attached to this body of work.
MARTIN: I have to ask, Lindsay, what is your relationship with guns?
MCCRUM: I only shoot cameras.
MCCRUM: And I am truly a very unlikely candidate for doing this project. Four years ago, I didn't know the difference between over-under and a side-by-side. And if you had asked me what the castle doctrine was, I would have thought that had something to do with King Arthur's Court. I really had no idea about gun culture. So I didn't have any really strong feelings about guns one way or the other.
MARTIN: Has that changed?
MCCRUM: I think my views have been expanded. I think there's a remarkable diversity of women, and there's an extraordinary range of reasons they own guns and the roles that guns play in their lives.
MARTIN: That's Lindsay McCrum. She has a new book out called "Chicks with Guns." Lindsay McCrum, thanks so much.
MCCRUM: Thank you, Rachel. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Deschamps renewed his attack on Villas-Boas on Thursday, claiming Lloris was losing his sharpness after being used in a rotation system with Spurs No 1 Brad Friedel.
The France manager had twice previously questioned the wisdom of Lloris' decision to swap Lyon, where he was guaranteed first pick, for Tottenham.
"He does not have enough playing time," Deschamps was quoted in the French media as saying at a press conference.
"He plays one game per week in the Europa League. It is a situation that is cumbersome and not ideal. He is a competitor and he cannot simply play two or three matches."
When asked how he felt about Deschamps' constant commenting on his goalkeeper, Villas-Boas pointed to his head and said: "It goes in one ear and comes out the other."
Lloris' failure to clear a Kyle Naughton backpass allowed Robert Beric to equalise just before half-time in last night's Europa League Group J meeting at White Hart Lane.
Naughton's pass was heavy, leaving Lloris with little time to clear before Beric closed him down, but the France skipper still did not take the opportunity to clear the ball to his side - a move that would have certainly prevented the Slovenians from scoring.
Villas-Boas insisted Lloris still has a chance of making Spurs' team for Sunday's game at Manchester City despite the error.
He said: "Sometimes things like this happen.
"It happened to us at Chelsea with Petr Cech last year. It's mistakes that make you evolve as a player and I have no problem with that.
"It could happen to any goalkeeper during any game. It will not affect my decision-making."
Who was to blame for the Maribor strike proved inconsequential in the end as Tottenham ran out comfortable winners thanks to Jermain Defoe's hat-trick.
The 30 year-old's triple strike meant he moved ahead of Teddy Sheringham in to eighth place in Tottenham's all-time top goalscorer list.
"That's special on a personal note as Teddy was a player I watched as a kid," Defoe said.
"He was a great player for club and country.
"It was amazing [to score a hat-trick]. As a forward you get judged on scoring goals. It's the best thing in the world but it was important we won the game tonight."

So, you've got yourself some Chanel handbags, and you've also got some Chanel jewelry. Maybe now you're thinking, "How can I combine those two things, and also get some home decor into the mix?" Don't worry, Karl Lagerfeld has you covered in ways you didn't even realize you needed until this exact moment in time. That's right: you can now be the proud owner of a Chanel jewelry box, finished in the same quilted lambskin from the brand's iconic bags.
If you're wondering why someone would buy a Chanel jewelry box, I want you to stop, back up and reconsider, because you're asking yourself the wrong question. Why wouldn't someone want a Chanel jewelry box, assuming that, for the person in question, $4,100 to $6,200 is a relatively trivial amount of money, relative to all the other money they have? They're beautifully made and very functional, just like the brand's bags, and it's much harder to figure out how to make a handbag a part of your home decor. A jewelry box, on the other hand, can just hang out on your dressing table for years. (People who have Chanel jewelry boxes definitely also have dressing tables, don't you think? With, like, a mirrored tray for perfumes and stuff?)
For those who have extensive jewelry collections, very large dressing tables or both, this collection also includes an option above the previously mentioned price range, but you'll have to pester your friendly neighborhood Chanel sales associate for a definitive number. Check out the available models below, which are from the brand's recently released Metiers d'Art 2016 collection.
