Liverpool Vs Barcelona 'Valued' Prediction
My main betting prediction is 'Both Teams To Score and Over 2'5 Goals'

Liverpool Vs Barcelona Preview
Liverpool took a huge blow to the premier league title hopes as Man City edged a step closer to league title after a close 1 nil win over Leicister City.
Liverpool now face the task of overturning a huge mountain as they try to come back from a 3 nil deficit to Barcelona in the second leg of the champions league.
Barcelona stunned the Merseyside title challengers by hitting 3 without reply thanks to goals by Suarez and Messi with the latter hitting a brace. The visitors had plenty of opportunities to score and will be disappointed that they are heading home without an important away goal. They must of thought they were when the ball fell to Salah a few minutes before time only to see his effort hit the post instead of the goalkeeper less goal.
Liverpool despite the last weeks champions league have been in great from and still have a chance of winning the premier league after a late goal against Newcastle gave them an important 3 points. Despite what has been a fantastic season one that will be trophy less seems quite likely as it stands as Liverpool will need to score 3 without reply and City to not win at Brighton.
To make matters even worse they go into this game without two massive players in the attacking sense with bot Firmino and Salah ruled out with injury's. So it will be hard to see how that void will be filled on Tuesday night and who will be able to get the goals on the night.
Barcelona like Liverpool have had a great season and one that would end with the champions league would put the cherry on the top. They rested basically there whole squad at the weekend bar a few in the likes of Artur, Vidal and Coutinho who was a unused sub but apart from that this team will be fresher of the two sides and that will be a factor on the night when you think about the way Liverpool play.
Liverpool vs Barcelona Betting Tips
It all makes for an open game with Liverpool needing to chase goals, so it should be an entertaining game with action at both ends. Barcelona will have a lot of threat on the counter so they will most likely score and you can also see Liverpool scoring on home patch as they normally do.
So with that said I would recommend going with 'Both Teams To Score And Over 2'5 Goals' accompanied with a 2-2 correct score prediction.

Promoting a healthy community
Members of the Alexandria Bike Club recently organized a Central Lakes Trail clean up. It took several trips to clean the trail of debris from Nelson to Garfield. They were amazed as to how much garbage was collected and advise all trail participants to use the trash receptacles or simply take the trash home.
This is just one of the events the Alexandria Bike Club participates in to promote a healthy community. For more information, find the club on Facebook or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rebecca77 Worth getting
I can certainly say that after 2 doses (1 pill each day for two straight days) my cat is adult flea free. I also ordered advantage 2 at the same day from Chewy.com to apply monthly in addition to vacuuming daily for the next two months. I also purchased the Verbac in home spray that I applied throughout the home and furniture as well from Chewy.com. I can say without question that the Capstar is an important part of the plan to make certain that the adult fleas are dead. It is equally important to ensure you maintence the flea cycle with vacuuming and a monthly flea treatment that breaks the flea cycle or else the fleas will reappear and you and your pet will be back to square one. I am also very appreciative of chewy.com for all three of my deliveries here within 2 days to quickly begin the journey of killing fleas for once and all! Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeanne Pills small enough to hide in food for cats. Seem to work quickly.
Liked the size of pills to give to my cats. Noticed difference in cats/dogs scratching so I knew it was working. Prefer pills over the liquid on the neck type. I have 14 cats and 3 dogs plus I foster feral/tame cats/kittens that have fleas so now I know a product l can depend upon. Thanks

Rated 5 out of 5 by Smoke Works just as described
Works and has no residual effect. You still have to kill fleas, larva and eggs that are not on your cats, but after they take the pill any flea that is on them will fall off over the next 24 hours.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crazycatladyplusdog Loving this product so far
I bought this product for my kitties along with the same item/larger dose for my slightly heftier dog. Previous use of topical treatments were ineffective and seemed to make my kitties lethargic and grumpy. I know you're laughing and wondering how I could tell, as grumpy and lethargic is typical kitty behavior, but it was really noticeable. Getting the kitties to swallow the pill is a bit more difficult than with the dog (as in I had to be forceful and paid for it when they knocked EVERYTHING off of my dresser in retaliation later that evening). However, the product works well with no mess and no noticable side effects. You still have to treat bedding and home with other products, but this is a great first step. My little angel-devils were free of fleas within 24 hours. I know that an infestation is frustrating, but you can overcome it. I strongly recommend starting here. Once you break the life cycle of the fleas with this product, a little bit of diligence in housekeeping will have your home flea-free. Good luck!

Rated 5 out of 5 by joyinlife It works good
I just got my mastiff puppy, sadly she came with fleas and worms, she has no energy to even walk! she will just lay on the grass, so when I got this today I gave it to her, she ate it with no problem. Then I went to take her outside and she started to walk and even run a little and she has been playing and has a lot more energy. I haven't started her deworming yet so I know just by giving her this, she has relief and I did not find any one her coat, which I think they already Fell off her earlier without even combing her hair! she doesn't have long hair. Will continue to give this to her, plus I plan on giving her the advantage because I don't want her getting tapeworms again- tapeworms come from fleas, so treating the fleas first then deworming in a few days. very happy pup and owner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by at8408 Finally dead fleas!
I bought Capstar as a last resort, spraying the house (without cats present) and using revolution just wasn't getting rid of all the fleas in our house.
I finally bought this. I gave one pill to each my cats. First, the pills are really small and my one cat who usually hates meds even in a pill pocket ate this no problem. That's a huge plus for me.
Second, I have only been getting dead fleas when I comb the cats now. I feel like Capstar was the answer to finally ending our flea problem.

The Seattle City Council has voted to reject a proposal to tax businesses in the city per-employee, per-hour to fund homeless services.
The vote on Tuesday was 5 to 4 against the tax.
The tax would have targeted companies grossing more than $5 million annually and cost around $100 per employee, although councilmember discussed different thresholds and amounts. The goal was to generate as much as $24 million per year to fund 24-hour shelters, long-term housing and other services.
A group of 91 business owners signed a letter sent to the Seattle City Council opposing the proposed employee hours tax, writing the tax would burden the business community by adding to already "significant increases in business taxes, fees and utility rates" passed in the last three years.
Councilmembers could revisit the issue in the future.
Meanwhile, the Seattle City Council approved a $8 to $14 nightly tax for short-term rental operators beginning in 2019. It's still unclear how the city plans to spend the revenue, but funding homeless services is a likely option after the employee tax failed.

Ice T recently announced that his metal band Body Count would be making a return, sending out a clip teasing the follow-up album to 2017’s Bloodlust.
“Headed back to the Studio today,” Ice penned in a caption. “New BodyCount album in progress. First two songs locked. Hard as F!! We’re going in. #Carnivore @BodyCountBand.”
HipHopDXreports that the title of the new project has been confirmed to be “Carnivore.”
Body Count first appeared in 1990, a venture between Ice T and guitarist Ernie C at the time. Since its inception, the group has become pretty well-versed in ruffling feathers. Notably, stirring controversy with their “Cop Killer” track, prompting responses from the likes of President George H.W. Bush at the time.
The heavy metal band made significant waves with Bloodlust with a politically-charged track such as “No Lives Matter” and “Black Hoodie,” tackling race relations and police brutality.
“Give me a fucking break,” Ice famously uttered at the beginning of the video for the latter. “I’ve been talking about this shit for over 20 years. And now you can kill a motherfucker just because of how he’s dressed. Are you fucking serious?”
The track earned the band a nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 60th Annual Grammys, losing out to Mastodon’s “Sultan’s Curse.”

An analysis of Lemmings: a swarming approach to mine countermeasures in the VSW/SZ/BZ
Weber, Timothy R.
Mansager, Bard K.
MetadataShow full item record
Lemmings are autonomous tracked underwater vehicles which utilize a swarming approach to mine detection and neutralization in the very shallow water, surf and beach zones (VSW/SZ/BZ). The Navy and the Marine Corps are in great need of developing an effective 'in stride' clearance/breaching method to further enhance the effectiveness and viability of their littoral warfare skills. The Lemmings system has the potential to fulfill this critical need in a cost effective, reliable manner. Utilizing the Janus interactive wargaming simulation, an amphibious operation was modeled, with the amphibious landing taking place through a minefield in the littoral zones. Three scenarios of this model were developed: an amphibious landing through a minefield utilizing no clearing/breaching assets; an amphibious landing through a minefield utilizing current clearing/breaching assets; and an amphibious landing through a minefield utilizing Lemming swarms as the clearing/breaching assets. A comparative analysis of these three scenarios will be performed, examming the measures of effectiveness of landing vehicles killed/damaged, combat power ashore at a given time, MCM assets killed, and percentage of mines neutralized.

Mercy Johnson, an actress in Nollywood, has spoken out about her fight with cancer. During a conversation she had with seasoned actress Joke Silva during an episode of Mercy’s Menu, the mother of four made this admission. Her most recent cooking show episode on YouTube featured the conversation.
Mercy Johnson, an actress for Edo State, claims that she had a cancer scare six months ago. She and her husband naturally needed to talk about the new situation. “I had my thyroid removed,” Mercy Johnson declared. And because we have children, it was like a journey for us.”
She went on to say that the moment she made the decision to have the surgery was life-altering. “They said I was going to be on medication for the rest of my life, and it was a reality we had to sit down,” Mercy Johnson added.
The beautiful actress said that the diagnosis led to a set of instructions and times for when she should take her medication. Mercy Johnson hasn’t spoken out before about the situation with her health.
Mercy Johnson asked Joke Silva about the health of her husband Olu Jacob, which sparked the conversation. Other actors from Nollywood have recently spoken out about their various health issues.
During a Tuesday Instagram Live session with Daddy Freeze, Nigerian singer and rapper Ikechukwu Onunaki talked about his health.
Ikechukwu asserted that he was paralyzed on the right side of his body due to an illness known as acute sciatica and a herniated disc.
Kemi Afolabi, another actress, revealed that she had been diagnosed with lupus, a life-threatening condition. The immune system attacks the body’s tissues in lupus, an inflammatory condition.


Terrorism a major issue before SAARC leaders
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New Delhi, Nov 9, IRNA
The SAARC summit, due to open in Dhaka on November 12, will finalize modalities of the Additional Protocol to the SAARC Regional Convention on Suppression of Terrorism to tackle this growing menace, which has virtually engulfed all countries of the seven-member grouping.
Briefing newsmen today, Bangladesh Foreign Minister Morshed Khan said terrorism was a major issue before SAARC leaders as it posed serious threat to the security of its member countries.
The Additional Protocol, which was finalized at the Islamabad summit, was aimed to give more teeth to the member nations to combat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, he said, adding that "the modalities of the protocol are being discussed and (will be) finalized here for taking collective measures to eradicate terrorism from the region."
"We have built up an institutional framework, which can be utilized by the member countries to initiate effective actions.
"Combatting terrorism is a task that South Asia needs to pursue relentlessly. The issue has been in the international and regional spotlight for very undertsandable and compelling reasons," the minister further stated.
The Additional Protocol was approved in the Islamabad summit after India complained that some countries were extending financial and material support to terrorists to unleash a reign of terror.
It stated that terrorism cannot be justified on any ground as it violates the fundamental values of the UN and SAARC Charter.

[content adapted from Wikipedia]
The Old Idaho Penitentiary State Historic Site was a functional prison from 1872 to 1973. The first building, also known as the Territorial Prison, was constructed in the Territory of Idaho in 1870. The territory was less than ten years old when the prison was built east of Boise, Idaho in the western United States. From its beginnings as a single cell house, the penitentiary grew to a complex of several distinctive buildings surrounded by a 17 ft. high sandstone wall. The stone was quarried from the nearby ridges by the resident convicts, who also assisted in later constructions.
Over its one-hundred and one years of operation, the penitentiary received more than 13,000 inmates, with a maximum population of a little over six-hundred. Two-hundred and fifteen of the inmates were women. Two famous inmates were Harry Orchard and Lyda Southard. Harry Orchard assassinated Governor Frank Steunenberg at the turn of the 20th century and Lyda Southard was known as Idaho's Lady Bluebeard for killing several of her husbands to collect upon their life insurance.Two serious riots occurred in 1971 and 1973 over living conditions in the prison. The 416 resident inmates were moved to a modern penitentiary south of Boise and the Old Idaho Penitentiary was closed on December 3, 1973.
In 1992, the Idaho State Historical Society recorded oral history interviews with fifteen former prison guards. These tapes and transcripts cover prison operations and remembrances from the 1950s to the closing of the prison. The collection is open for research at the society.
The prison has been featured on the television series Ghost Adventures.
The Territorial Prison was completed in 1872 and received its first 11 inmates from the Boise County Jail. This building was converted into a Chapel in the 1930s and was destroyed by fire in the 1973 riot.
The New Cell House (1889–1890) consisted of three tiers of forty-two steel cells. The third tier closest to the Rose Garden served as "Death Row."
The area now known as the Rose Garden (as this it what it is now) was once used to execute prisoners by hanging. Of the 10 executions in the Old State Penitentiary, 6 occurred here.
The Administration Building (1893–1894) housed the Warden's office, armory, visitation room, control room and the turn key area.
The False Front Buildings (1894–1895) held the Commissary, Trusty Dorm, Barber Shop (1902-1960s) and Hospital (originally the blacksmith shop, but was remodeled in 1912 and remained the prison hospital until the 1960s).
The Dining Hall (1898) was designed by George Hamilton (an inmate at the time) and ultimately burned down in the 1973 riot.
Cell House 2 (1899), also known as the "North Wing" contained two-man cells. A "honey bucket" was placed in each cell to serve as a toilet. Inmates burned the building in the 1973 riot.
Cell House 3 (1899) was built the same as Cell House 2. It was eventually condemned for habitation, but in 1921 was converted into a shoe factory. In 1928 this building was remodeled for inmate occupancy and became the first cell house with indoor plumbing.
The Women's Ward (1905–1906) was built out of necessity. Prior to its completion women did not have separate quarters. Male inmates built a wall around the old Wardens home to serve as a separate facility for women. This building had seven two-person cells, a central day room, kitchen and bathroom facilities. This building held the infamous Lyda Southard (Lady Bluebeard).
Built by inmates, the Multipurpose Building (1923) served as a shirt factory, shoe shop, bakery, license plate shop, laundry, hobby room, loafing room and housed the communal showers.
Solitary confinement consisted of two sections. The first, built in the early 1920s, was the Cooler. Although built for solitary confinement, each cell contained 4-6 men. The second section, known as Siberia, was built in 1926 and housed 12 3'x8' cells with one inmate per cell.
Cell House 4 (1952) was the largest and most modern cell house at the penitentiary. Some inmates painted their cells and left drawings on the walls that can be seen today.
Cell House 5 (1954) was Maximum Security where the most unruly and violent offenders stayed. This building also served as a permanent place of solitary confinement. It includes a built in gallows and "Death Row."
Although not a building, there is also an outdoor Recreational Area where inmates played baseball, boxing, basketball, handball, tennis, horseshoes and football. The baseball, and later softball, team was named "The Outlaws" and frequently played teams from across Treasure Valley.
Museum and Historical Society
The site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for its significance as a Territorial Prison. The site currently contains museums, the Idaho Botanical Garden, and is a facility managed by the Idaho State Historical Society.
In late 1999, J.C. Earl donated his personal collection of historic arms and military memorabilia to the state of Idaho. These items were placed on exhibition as the J.C. Earl Exhibit at the Old Idaho Penitentiary. They range from Bronze Age to those used today for sport, law enforcement, and military purposes. The Luristan Bronze collection dates to 3500 BC.

New data from the US Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) reveals that the total number of international students across 8,697 schools in the country has reached the 1.23 million mark, up by 2.9 percent from November 15 of the previous year.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it has published the revised version of Form 1-9, Employment Verification Form. Starting January 22, 2017, the revised form will be mandatory, but the current form with a revision date of March 8, 2013, will still be accepted until that time.
Donald Trump has won the presidency and both parties are right: it’s time to think about healing and immediately unifying a divided nation. But it would be hard to deny that the incoming president’s platform centers, if not leans totally, on immigration. Another fact is that the Republican Party has reassured control over the Senate and the Congress, which means that the president-elect’s future policies could easily gain support and become actual laws.

WASHINGTON (CN) - President Donald Trump's nominee to a seat on a Washington, D.C., federal court has withdrawn his name from consideration after a video of him struggling to answer basic legal questions went viral last week.
Matthew Spencer Petersen was unable to answer when Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., asked him to define common trial terms like motion in limine, or describe basic legal concepts, like the Daubert standard. Petersen, a commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, also told Kennedy he has never conducted a jury trial.
Lawyers submit a motion in limine before a trial to exclude certain testimony from being presented to a jury, while the Daubert standard governs the admissibility of expert witness testimony, taking its name from the 1993 Supreme Court decision Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals.
Petersen also said he last read the Federal Rules for Evidence in law school and that he was not up to date on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Kennedy initially asked all of the District Court nominees testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Dec. 13 whether they had ever handled a trial, but drilled down on Petersen when he answered that he had not. Kennedy has asked nominees whether they have tried a case ever since the nomination of Brett Talley to the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama gained national attention.
The American Bar Association rated Talley not qualified, and it later surfaced that Talley had posted on an online message board appearing to defend the early KKK. Talley also did not inform the Senate of his marriage to the chief of staff of the White House counsel.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, the Iowa Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said last week Talley's nomination would not be going forward in the Senate, and Kennedy has asked questions at nomination hearings hinting at Talley's record in the weeks since the additional information came forward.
Kennedy also voted against the nomination of Greg Katsas, a former White House lawyer who the Senate confirmed to a seat on the D.C. Circuit in November, making the freshman senator arguably the most vocal Republican critic of Trump's judicial nominees.
"I think he's whip smart, probably," Kennedy said on CNN last week, referring to Petersen. "But you can't just walk into a federal courthouse for the very first time and say 'Here I am, I think I want to be a judge.' It just doesn't work that way."
In a letter Petersen sent to Trump that was obtained by MSNBC, the nominee said going forward in the confirmation process would be a "distraction."
"I had hoped that my nearly two decades of public service might carry more weight than my two worst minutes on television," Petersen wrote. "However, I am no stranger to political realities and I do not wish to be a continued distraction from the important work of your administration and the Senate."
The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the decision sent on Monday afternoon. A spokesman for Grassley directed comment to the White House.
A spokesperson for California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, did not immediately return a request for comment sent Monday afternoon.
The liberal group Alliance For Justice hailed the withdrawal, tying Petersen's qualifications to those of Talley and Jeffery Matter, who was up for a spot on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and will also not receive further action in the Senate after it came to light that he once referred to transgender children as part of "Satan's plan."
"It's time for that irresponsible behavior to stop and also time for the White House to stop sending up the kind of nominees we're seeing: individuals with inadequate credentials, open hostility to the rights of fellow Americans, or both," AFJ Legal Director Daniel Goldberg said in a statement Monday afternoon.

K Line orders eight LNG-fuelled car carriers
Japanese shipping major K Line has decided to order eight liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fuelled car carriers, following the recent delivery of its first LNG-powered car carrier Century Highway Green.
As informed, the 7,000 CEU vessels will be built by shipbuilding companies Nihon Shipyard, Shin Kurushima Dockyard and China Merchants Jinling Shipyard.
Two units will be constructed at each of the three shipyards. They are slated for delivery between 2023 and 2025.
The company expects that through the use of LNG as a fuel rather than the conventional one and with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), the units will emit less harmful emissions.
It is anticipated that they will reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) by 25% to 30%, emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx), which cause air pollution by almost 100%, and emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 80% to 90%.
With these new investments, the shipping major aims to meet the latest International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) 2050 reduction targets.
K Line welcomed its first LNG-powered car carrier in March this year. It was built by Tadotsu Shipyard Co., part of the Imabari Shipbuilding Group.
Due to the ship’s environmentally-friendly characteristics, the firm was able to secure an operating lease for the car carrier through Climate Transition Loan with Mizuho Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Ban.
The projects represent an important milestone for achieving the targets set forth in the K Line Environmental Vision 2050 of improving CO2 emission efficiency by 50% compared to 2008, the company concluded.


The Apple Watch is going to start shipping next months. Apple is expected to sell millions of these watches very fast. The Apple Watch won’t be the only game in town though. The Emvio smartwatch happens to be a wearable device designed to monitor your stress level, heart rate, and activity. It uses your pulse rate to calculate your personal stress index and tells you when your stress reaches certain thresholds.
Emvio measures your stress level on a scale of 0 to 10. When your stress is dangerously high, Emvio warns you and provides you with tips to reduce it. The watch communicates with your phone using Bluetooth technology. The watch features two touchscreen buttons, a Bluetooth chip, a 3-axis accelerometer, and touch/pulse sensors. You can find this smartwatch on Kickstarter.

A slight rustle of the wind... and it stands before you. A Unicorn, whiter and more beautiful than you ever imagined it. It has deep wonderful eyes, and you can't help but admire this creature. It came to have a look at you, and now it freely goes. You have not the heart to stop it, and it silently vanishes between the trees.

THE INTERACTION OF MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI AND RHIZOBIU1V1 ON TWO KIND OF CLOVER WITH DIFFERENT ROOT SYSTEMSM. H. SAYADI AND N. SHABANI
The study investigated the effects of interactions between the Rhizobium and Mycorrhizal fungi on nitrogen and phosphors accumulation, increased N and P content, biomass production and percentage of colonization by Trifolium subterraneam and TrifOlium alexanderinum. The plants were grown in a greenhouse until the flowering stage. The obtained results demonstrated that the inoculation of clovers increased the plants biomass, content of P and N and colonization of mycorrhizal in comparison with single and uninoculation with microorganisms under the study. But T. subterraneam with finely branched and hairy roots had lower response to mycorrhizal associations. The result indicated that the synergistic or additive interactions among the components of Rhizobium, Mycorrhizal and plants association increased plant productivity.

Want to drive a Koenigsegg One:1? Good luck with that. They're all already pre-sold, and you can't afford one, anyhow.
There's a consolation prize, though:, Need For Speed: Rivals is at least giving the rest of us a shot to drive the car in the virtual world in a free downloadable content pack. The digital version seems to capture the appeal of the car that was on display in Geneva, although crashing it will have fewer real-life consequences.
READ THIS: Honest Trailers takes on Mario Kart
And Need for Speed has gone one step further: The 1340-hp One:1 will also be rendered as a police car. This means that you can now park the 1340-hp One:1 in your virtual garage in the game, but it also means that you're likely to find one on your six as you flee the fuzz. Terrifying.

This late night McDonald’s video footage is going viral and has sparked worldwide media attention.
Two young women – obviously intoxicated – are at a Western Australia McDonald’s.
They’re shrieking, laughing, throwing food and climbing on and over the counter.
The staff are trying to do their jobs around them.
Patrons are shaking their heads as they try to ignore them.
They are being really, really stupid. And annoying.
And then an unknown man steps in to put a stop to the girl’s behaviour; to chastise them and pull them into line.
He says: “stop acting like sluts,” and then physically pulls them off the counter and demands they start behaving themselves.
Is your opinion forming already? Yeah ours were too, but we all had a slightly different take on the incident.
You can watch the video here:
David Koch of Sunrise describes the man as “the Perth father who stood up to three young women.” Sunrise co-host Samantha Armytage stated “Girls, look at that video – it’s not attractive. Don’t do it.” Viewers congratulated the man for taking a stand.
But the question we’re asking in the Mamamia office is whether he’s a villain or a hero.
We can’t decide just how appropriate his actions were in dealing with the young women. Yes – they were being drunk and rowdy and the restaurant staff were clearly losing control… but was it okay for him to get physical with them and call them “sluts?”
The man in question – who wants to remain anonymous – has said that he would not necessarily use that word ‘slut’ if the incident were to occur again but he doesn’t regret trying to get the girls to behave.
He told a Perth radio station: “Maybe I should not have done that, but I had got to a stage where I had had enough of it…. It could have been a little bit threatening, and it is not the sort of thing that should be happening in a family restaurant.”
“But don’t go in a public place and spread your rubbish all over the place, and they were acting like pigs…. The staff were threatened, and they asked them to stop. You have got to respect property, and respect yourselves.”
We can’t seem to agree. Half of us think he went too far in calling the girls inappropriate names and physically trying to move them out of the way. The other rest think that someone needed to step in and while his language wasn’t ideal, we need people like this who will help out when a situation is out of control .
So what do you think? Do you think this man was right to try and pull the girls into line? Or were the girls just having fun?


We see a lot of issues people have with Windows 10 that are resolved with a restart. The old IT response of “Have you tried shutting it down and restarting?” is now truer than ever but with a catch. You HAVE to restart in a specific way that people don’t always find intuitive as a lot of people think turning the power off and back on is the most thorough option.
When you do a Shutdown on Windows 10 its not really a shutdown – Its a close all open files and programs and then Hibernate the Windows operating system. This means when you power back on Windows will “Boot” nice and quick but it hasn’t actually had a full refresh. We’ve seen some very strange issues on PC’s that linger after a shutdown and power on that simply need a Windows Restart to fix. Simply Push the Microsoft Logo button (The old start button) in the bottom left corner click on the Power symbol and then on restart and it’ll actually fully refresh your windows session. Sometimes after Windows runs updates in the background it can leave things a little unstable until you do the restart.
One of the really odd symptoms we’ve seen was a PC that wouldn’t play netflix – It didn’t matter what browser you tried or even if you used the Windows APP for netflix it just wouldn’t play any video. It worked on every other video source we tried other than netflix. The user had powered the machine off with a shutdown and back on numerous times since the issue cropped up – All it needed to fix it was a restart. Other than that one symptom nothing else appeared to be wrong with the PC.
So next time something is misbehaving try a restart before you call your IT guy and incur a bill (Not that I’d charge a client for asking you to restart and call me back if that doesn’t work).
The most important part of Virus protection is common sense. 99.9% of the Virus’s we see come in via email and given a second look people always realise they never should have clicked the link, often its been an unfortunate coincidence in a weak moment when the user was busy.
General rule of thumb is if you weren’t expecting it – Question it. If its an invoice that you weren’t expecting, delete it – Fake invoices are a very common scam these days as people instantly feel offended they are being asked to pay for something they didn’t get or ask for so they click to complain finding out far too late the link is to a script that will execute a worm. If it was a real invoice then the sender is going to make contact again if they don’t hear from you – It would be nice if people gave up chasing money after the first ignored invoice.
Another common trick doing the rounds is a pdf attachment, you open the attachment and it reports to be a “Secure Document” that requires you to authenticate yourself. Think for a second, how would the sender know your username and password??? These offer links to use your Office 365 or Gmail login to authenticate, in reality they are wanting to steal your credentials and then take over your mailbox. I’ve seen some fairly sophisticated scams where someones email has been hijacked, they have then read through the mailbox history and contacted clients to let them know bank details have changed and provided new account numbers for any future bill payments. The account provided was one they had stolen the logins to but they needed a little more money on hand to steal.
So the rule of thumb is – If its not a typical business correspondence from someone you deal with regularly just go back and read it again, double check the sender address, click reply and see if the address you are replying to is the one that it was purported to have been sent from and the most import tip of all – Hover your mouse cursor over any links as this will show you the actual Web URL/Address clicking the link would take you to. Its very easy to fake a link – If you hover over the link below you’ll see what I mean.
If in doubt forward a copy of the email – We see a lot of this and 99.9% of the time they were dead right to question the email.


The Newark city council voted tonight on a rent control ordinance.
(Aristide Economopoulos/The Star-Ledger)
NEWARK — The Newark city council passed tonight a new ordinance that will make it harder for landlords to raise the rents of tenants in rent-controlled properties.
Under the old rules, landlords of rent-controlled buildings could raise rents annually by 5 percent if the building had 49 units or less and by 4 percent if the building had more than 49 units.
The new ordinance caps the annual rent increases to the the Consumer Price Index in New Jersey.
Under the old rules, landlords could also ask the city to raise rents in vacant apartments up to 25 percent if they showed proof that they spent $100 or more per room to rehabilitate the unit.
But the new ordinance caps the increase to 20 percent and raises the threshold to request that higher rent to $5,000 per room in a given unit.
Proponents said the legislation prevents renters from enduring burdensome increases in rent for minor or no improvements to their units.
But landlords said the proposed rules failed to take into account the cost of maintaining those buildings and disincentives from making improvements to their properties.

Adult book picks: 'The Woman Who Lost Her Soul'
Published: Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 27, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
"The Woman Who Lost Her Soul" by Bob Shacochis. When humanitarian lawyer Tom Harrington travels to Haiti to investigate the murder of a beautiful and seductive photojournalist, he is confronted with a dangerous landscape riddled with poverty, corruption and voodoo. It's the late 1990s, a time of brutal guerrilla warfare and civilian kidnappings, and everyone has secrets. The journalist, whom he knew years before as Jackie Scott, had a bigger investment in Haiti than it seemed, and to make sense of her death, Tom plunges back into a thorny past and his complicated ties to both Jackie and Eville Burnette, a member of the Special Forces assigned to protect her.
“Rising Tide: Bear Bryant, Joe Namath and Dixie's Last Quarter” by Randy Roberts and Ed Krzemienski. During the bloodiest years of the civil rights movement, Bear Bryant and Joe Namath, two of the most iconic and controversial figures in American sports, changed the game of college football forever. Brilliantly and urgently drawn, this is the gripping account of how these two very different men — Bryant a legendary coach in the South who was facing a pair of ethics scandals that threatened his career, and Namath a cocky Northerner from a steel mill town in Pennsylvania — led the Crimson Tide to a national championship.
“Line Up” by Liad Shoham. After a brutal rape disturbs a quiet Tel Aviv neighborhood, baffled detectives find no clues, no eyewitnesses and no suspects. The father of the shattered victim refuses to rest until justice is done, so he begins his own investigation. Keeping watch over his daughter's apartment from the street, he notices Ziv Nevo lurking in the shadows. All circumstances — and the victim — point to Nevo's guilt, and it appears the case is closed. But appearances can be deceiving.
“Burial Rites” by Hannah Kent. Charged with the brutal murder of two men, Agnes Magnusdottir has been removed to her homeland's farthest reaches, to an isolated farm in northern Iceland, to await execution. Horrified at the prospect of housing a convicted murderer, the family on the farm avoids Agnes. Her arrival threatens the peaceful rhythm of their way of life, while her stoic approach to the daily chores is an unsettling contrast to the passion that, rumor has it, drove her to kill — disturbing proof for them of the dangers that can lurk beneath a placid surface.
“Enon” by Paul Harding. In this book, the author tries to come to terms with a shattering personal tragedy. Grandson of George Crosby, Charlie inhabits the same dynamic landscape of New England, its seasons mirroring his turbulent emotional odyssey. Along the way, Charlie's encounters are brought to life by his wit, his insights into history and his yearning to understand the big questions.

FAIRBANKS - When doctors told Allan Doyle he might lose his lower leg and foot after it was crushed in an accident in Iraq last spring, the Army corporal and Fairbanks native told them to do it and get it over with.
"It's a lot better to have a totally functioning prosthetic than to have a foot that doesn't necessarily function normal," Doyle said.
He knew what it was like living with a half-operational limb.
His uncle, Larry Parrish, went through more than 20 surgeries to repair an injury he suffered while working for the Air Force in 1988. Parrish finally told doctors to take his leg.
When Doyle, 31, asked his uncle how to get over the trauma, Parrish's advice was, "Put your best foot forward and say, 'I'm going to do it today. I'm going to do it.' "
Now the two sport prosthetics that start just below their knee.
Three months after the surgery, Doyle was climbing a tree at his grandparent's house in Pennsylvania with his 7-year-old daughter, Rhiya.
Whenever someone would ask his mother, Pat Morgan of Fairbanks, how Doyle was doing, she'd show them the photo of her son and granddaughter in the tree.
Many people found out firsthand how Doyle was coping with a prosthetic lower leg at a welcome home ceremony Tuesday.
Besides veterans, Boy Scouts, active-duty military members and civic leaders, the crowd of about 70 people was littered with familiar faces from Doyle's past.
For Doyle, who was awarded a Bronze Star on July 31, it was a little bit overwhelming.
"It was easier at Walter Reed (Army Medical Center) when a lot of people came into the room because they went and saw everybody and you weren't singled out," he said.
Much to his mother's surprise, Doyle joined the Army in 1996 to see a bit of the world, serve his country and follow in his father's footsteps. His father, Grant Doyle Jr., is a Vietnam veteran.
Doyle and other Russian linguists on April 27 were in Tikrit intercepting and recording enemy conversations for Arabic linguists to translate. Doyle climbed a wall to tie off rope for a shelter from the sun. A concrete block fell on Doyle's left foot and ankle, tearing the skin open, crushing bones in his ankle and breaking both his tibia and fibula.
He was at the Army hospital this summer undergoing rehabilitation with others who had lost limbs during the conflict in Iraq. While there, he met another 31-year-old Army corporal from Fairbanks, Ricky Nelson, who had been shot in the knee during an ambush May 5 in Baghdad. Nelson eventually lost his right leg above the knee. The two have kept in touch since their release.
The two are among about 2,300 military service members who have been injured since the war in Iraq began March 19. Doyle is one of about 370 injured in circumstances that were not hostile.
As of midday Saturday Alaska time, 486 U.S. service members have died since the beginning of military operations in Iraq, according to the Defense Department. Of those, 333 died as a result of hostile action and 153 died of non-hostile causes, the department said.
Doyle is getting medically retired from the Army.

Shot throughout South Florida in 1990, director Martin Scorsese”s version of Cape Fear heavily imitated Alfred Hitchcock’s style.
A hypnotically and engrossing thriller that spins along on the dreams and anxieties of its characters.
This suspense and revenge film has multiple scenes of intense violence and threat.
Starring Robert De Niro as Max Kady, a hardened Southern criminal out to terrorize the family of Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte), the lawyer that put him in jail for fourteen years.
Jessica Lange plays the wife and Juliette Lewis the daughter, received an Oscar nomination along with the De Niro for her remarkable performance.
De Niro gained sixty pounds for the role, had his teeth ground down and his body covered with tattoos (fortunately using vegetable dyes which faded in a few months).
Scorsese inherited the project from Steven Spielberg, who went on to direct Schindler’s List.
The original film from 1962 starred Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum and Martin Balsam, whom all made an appearance in this version.
With a production budget of $35 million, “Cape Fear” went on to generate a worldwide gross of. $183 million.
