The Refresh Orlando Heirs

Adware is on of those things that most internet users don’t even think about until its too late. More often than not the majority of us do not even realise the existence of spyware until the damage has been done. Each and every day thousands of hidden applications are trying to gain access to computers all over the internet.

The amazing thing is that only a small percentage of people protect themselves from this kind of adware parasite and most only seek protection once the damage has been done. There are many ways that spyware and adware can take advantage of those of us who tend to be lacking in the area of computer security. Most times it is just our internet usage details that these nasties are after but at the other end of the scale there are some adware programs that are acting in a completely sinister manner.

If we all treated our computers like our bank accounts then you would not even be reading this article. The sad fact is we do not and every day there are thousands of people that are putting their private details at risk. None of us should have anything in our computers that we do not want and did not willingly invite but I would bet my last paycheque that anyone reading this article has a few unwanted extras lurking in the depths of their P.C’s.

It is absolutely essential that you be very aware of the possibilities with the latest of today’s scumware. If you are not willing to purchase some internet protection on the grounds that you might be infected then you should at least take advantage of an online scan. These scans are free and easily accessed so to be honest it would be sheer madness to ignore their existence and simply carry on regardless.

Run a free adware scan and the end result will be you are either spyware free or do in fact have a computer stowaway nestling inside your computer. If you are adware free then you can carry on without a care in the world, Your money will still be in your pocket and your computer will be running safely. If on the other hand you do find an intrusion then you can simply spend a little of your cash and rid the gremlin from your computer.

There are many free adware help sites all over the internet and it is very easy to get the latest news on all the recent adware outbreaks. Listen to the experts and weigh up what you have to lose.

If your computer is clean then a free scan will cost you nothing.

If it is infected then just how much do you stand to lose should your data be accessed?

Dear valued PayPal® member,

Due to recent fraudulent transactions, we have issued the following security requirements.

It has come to our (attion)**Spelling Mistake**, that 98% of all fraudulent transactions are caused by members using stolen credit cards to purchase or sell non existant items. Thus we require our members to add a (Debit/Check card)**Ding Ding Ding are your Alarm Bells going off Yet???** to their billing records as part of our continuing commitment to protect your account and to reduce the instance of fraud on our website. Your Debit/Check card will only be used to identify you. **YEAH RIGHT!!!** If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and renew your records you will not run into any future problems with the PayPal® service. However, failure to confirm your records will result in your account suspension.**All Paypal Accounts Earn Good Money For Paypal, Why Suspend Them?**

We are requesting this information to verify and protect your identity. Federal regulations require all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record identification from all persons opening new accounts or obtaining ongoing payment services.

Moral of this Story:- NEVER CLICK FROM AN EMAIL TO A SUPPOSEDLY SECURE SITE
Chances are it is not!

By the way if you did click that link it looks like a very good replica of Paypal, but ask yourself these questions:

# 1. Why is the color of the address bar still the same, Paypals secure bar is not a white background, but more a beige color, which incidentally matches a graphic bar on their website.

# 2. The Email address box on paypal is ALWAYS filled in with my email when I arrive at Paypals site, this copy website’s box is not showing any email at all.

# 3.The Whole page is Different.

# 4. In the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen there should be a Padlock for a secure website such as Paypal. If you look at Paypals login screens status bar it also says www.paypal.com then the padlock is shown.

Well, I hope this helps you to be more alert when checking your emails.

Have A Safe And Secure Day!!!

Help, I was sitting in front my computer and it started acting strange! Pop-ups were on my screen and I was not even surfing the web. My home page was changed somehow and so did other web settings. My programs are at a crawl and overall my computer is just not working the way it should be.

If this sounds like your computer, chances are you have been infected with some type of malicious software. Several types of software can infect your computer; some of these are spyware, a virus, a Trojan, and a worm. That is why you need security software.

Below is a brief and simple description of the software that can infect your computer and cause poor performance.

· Spyware is a program that gathers information about the user through the internet without their knowledge. It monitors your web activity and passes this information to another party without your knowledge. Spyware is designed for commercial gain, thus when it is installed in your computer you will probably receive unsolicited pop-up advertisements. It can also gather your email addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers stored on your computer.

· A virus is programming code or a piece of code that loads onto your computer without your consent. A virus is also self-replicating by inserting copies into an executable code or documents. Any virus is dangerous as it uses up memory and brings your system to a halt.

· A worm is much like a virus in the fact that it is self-replicating but differs in the fact that it does not need another program to do so. A worm can spread itself without any action from the user. A worm can attach itself to you address book and send a copy to everyone in it, then attaches itself to the receivers address book in addition, send it out to everyone in that address book. Worms are dangerous and in the end can cause networks to crash.

· Trojans are designed as legitimate software that you can download onto your computer. Once installed though, they can be annoying and/or malicious. Annoying activities of a Trojan would be changing your desktop around or silly icons appearing. Malicious damage from a Trojan is capable of deleting files on your computer and allowing personal and confidential information to be collected without you being aware.

Preventing spyware and other malicious software from infecting your computer through security software is lots easier going online and finding a reputable online scanning site after the fact. Sometimes if your computer is infected, you may not even be able to get online. Therefore, prevention is better than fixing.

You can protect your computer from malicious programs in many ways. Here are a few tips to consider.

Always have the latest version of anti virus and anti spyware technology on your computer. You will also need to keep the program files up to date in order to protect against newest threats.

Only download files from a trusted source. If you are not sure, run a virus scan on the file before downloading it or saving to your computer.

There are limitless resources on the internet offering anti spyware and antivirus programs. Many sites offer free online scans, and provide instructions for removal of any malicious programs on your computer. Once you have selected a well known, (well-known being the optimal word) follow the instructions for installation carefully to ensure that the scan will work properly. Below are the most common and well-known virus and spyware removal programs.

McAfee (mcafee.com) virus remover features up-to-date protection from the latest viruses and web activity threats for the user. They have three main anti-virus and anti-spyware programs that you can choose perfect for home and business uses.

Microsoft has an anti spyware (microsoft.com) removal tool that you can use to scan your computer. This functions mainly by reviewing and checking your files for unwanted software contents, and once found can be selected and removed depending on the procedures indicated on the program. Just follow the tools and guides on how you can remove the infected files.

Ad Ware Personal provided by Lavasoft.com features scanning and fixing infected files and drives, detection of known and unknown but potentially damaging software with its Code Sequence Identification (CSI) technology. This program also has a spyware removal and capabilities of removing other damaging programs in your system.

The above sites are just a few of anti spyware and anti virus removal programs that are available on the web. Take the time and do the research and you will find the right security software for your needs. Once again, it is imperative that the site you select for your computer security is credible.

Your teen by now is probably looking to have a cell phone. Teen cell phone usage is growing. One third of all teen or tweens are carrying a cell phone. As a parent you need to decide if a cell phone is the right choice. Most teens are out and about, making a cell phone a good choice for you and for them. You can use the phone as a way of keeping curfew. Or, you may choose to receive a picture mail from your teen after they arrive at an event.

Parents are often worried about costly bills coming from teen cell phone usage. All of the following features of plans can cost you: Extra minutes text messages, email, Internet usage, picture mail, and ring tones. There are many choices of plan that may fit into you or your teen’s budget. If overuse is a concern you may consider a TracFone or other types of prepaid wireless plans. Your teen will have all of the features of a standard cell phone, without the costly features. With prepaid plans you will need to help your teen learn how to manage their remaining cell phone minutes. However, your teen should be responsible enough to manger their own cell phone usage. Paying for phones and service is another choice you will need to make. By making your teen responsible for the bill you may be able to help them control their own usage naturally.

Several plans exist that may or may not meet you needs. You can select a Stand Alone Plan where your teen will have their own phone, plan, and bill. You can control the number of minutes they have in this plan, but not prevent them from going over. However, you can view their usage each month on a bill or online, including dialed numbers. Add A Phone Plan consists of adding a phone to your line. In a lot of cases you can do so with little cost and may even get a free cell phone for your teen. Picking free phone for a teen may be a challenge due to cell phone styles. This is where you may decide to allow them to pay for which ever phone they may want. You teen will be using your minutes within your shared plan. This option does not prevent over usage. Prepaid Plans allow you to select a phone that does not require a service contract. These phone come with the same features, but are not tied to an account. To use the cell phone you or you teen must purchase minutes. The minutes may be managed to talk or to use features like email and text messaging. The only downfall to this option is the cost of each purchase minute.

When selecting a plan you will want to keep the following in mind:

What is the basic monthly charge?
How many anytime minutes are included?
How many free night and weekend minutes are included?
What is per minute airtime rate if included minutes are exceeded?
What is the long distance charge? (most now include long distance)
Are there roaming charges when you are outside your local area?
If so, how much per minute?
What are the hours per day for peak versus off-peak minutes?
What is the charge for text messages, email, internet, and picture mail?
What is the length of time for the contract if any?
Can you make changes to the plan during the contract period?
What is the cost of termination during the contract period?
Is insurance available on the phone. (protect your teen cell phone from damage)

Obviously the biggest changes come from Microsoft’s new browser, Internet Explorer 7. IE7 has a new interface which is a big improvement compared to their previous browsers. Next to this new interface, security has improved a lot and new features such as tabbed browsing, embedded search and RSS feeds are being introduced.

Although this may look like a big list of improvements, it really isn’t that astonishing. The new features take a large part of the resources cake. And, maybe the most important reason: Opera and Firefox are already using these features for a long time.

Firefox has recently released version 1.5. Although we really were satisfied with Firefox in all previous versions, this new version really is a disaster in our opinion. We have seen a lot of crashes and also loading times have increased quite a bit.

While firefox released a slower new version, Opera has done the opposite. Opera 9 is currently available as a public preview version and has impressed us the most from all new browsers. Not only is opera 9 by far the fastest browser available, it also brings new features such as tab previews and widgets.

With the interest of Google in both opera and firefox the new browser war could become a very interesting one …

The greatest truth in life is that endless possibilities are available to us every moment of our lives. Whether our lives today repeat the monotonous drone of yesterday’s script or whether we create a new script for ourselves is up to us. We have the power to change our lives in the way that we want to and any moment that we want to. All that we have to truly understand is that the past is the past.

Let me take you into the truth of this statement with an experience. I want you to look back at what you were doing just before you clicked to read this article. Take yourself back to that moment. You are not the same person in this moment, as you were at the time you clicked on this article. It might be hard to accept that, but that is the truth. The only reason that it feels like you are the same person is because you are carrying a self-concept of yourself from the past into the present. Your self-concept consists of the belief of the person that you are (the identity you are identified with), the things that you can and can’t do, and other such beliefs about yourself. Depending on the self-concept that you have, you can either be freeing yourself or limiting yourself. For example, if at this moment you describe yourself as an overweight person, you are simply carrying that belief from your past into your present moment. The truth is, in this very moment, you can choose to look at yourself as someone else. Now, you may be saying, “Yeah, but that will not make me any thinner!”

I understand that totally, and I do agree that just thinking you’re not overweight will not make you thinner. However, thinking that thought will make you start to do different things. For example, if you believe you are an overweight person, you will continue to live the lifestyle of an overweight person. You will do what you believe an overweight person does. You will not do anything different because that’s what you’ve always been doing. However, if in this moment you decide to look at yourself as someone else, you will start to act in ways that are more congruent with the new self-concept of yours. I know that you believe the change cannot happen that fast. That is just another belief of yours that you are choosing to bring into this moment of infinite possibilities. Everything can change in an instant! You have to realize the basic fact that the past is just that: that past! It is something that doesn’t have any pull on you at all. It is the record of what you have done up until this moment, but that doesn’t mean that it always has to be that way. Things can change right now. The past is not the present. Who you were up until the moment you read this article, doesn’t have to be who you are when you finish reading this article. That is how fast a change can occur. You don’t need years. You don’t need time. You just need the awareness that you have the choice in this very moment to be who you want to be and to live the life that you want to live. Nothing can hold you back from what you truly want. The past can’t hold you back from what you want because it has no reality in the present. That is why they call it the past!

We normally tend to create a self-concept and then “make believe” that it’s who we actually are. Your self-concept is not a fixed thing. It is something that was either created in you by your external conditions or by your own self. Whatever the situation was, the basic truth is that you accepted that image of yourself. If you believe that you are not a smart person that was what you accepted from the outside. Every aspect of your self-concept needs approval from your side in order for it to become real for you. The reality, however, is that there is no such thing as a self-concept. It’s all invented. Everything is invented. In this moment, you have the ultimate freedom to choose to be who you want to be, and live the way that you want to live. Realize that the past is the past and regain your freedom and unlimited possibilities in this present moment. What would you like to do right now? Know that you can do it. What would you like to be right now? Know that you can be it.

1. Ask permission and indicate the date or period for which it is needed.

2. It is your responsibility to return it quickly. Say when you will do so,
ask if that is acceptable and honour your pledge.

3. However well the owner looks after it, do so ten times as well.

Regardless of the item’s material value, to the owner it may be beyond
price.

4. If it is washable, cleanable or serviceable, indicate your intention to
do so before returning it and ensure that that is acceptable.

Note that we are not looking for excuses to avoid having the item
washed, cleaned or serviced: we are ensuring that there are no special
requirements for doing this of which we are not aware. You don’t want to be
responsible for shrinking a family heirloom, having the item irreversibly
change colour or grind to a halt because an oil has been changed for another
which is inappropriate.

5. Ensure it doesn’t get damaged by yourself or anyone else while in your
care. Whatever happens, you are responsible.

6. If anything unexpected happens to it, confess!

7. If it does get damaged, have it repaired - immediately!

8. If it cannot be repaired, replace it with another of at least the same
value.

9. If it cannot be replaced make an incredible gesture of gratitude and
remorse.

Tailor this to the person from whom you have borrowed. It might not be
a personal gift, it may be a generous donation to their favourite charity.
And what is generous? Depends on your circumstances, the sum may be $5, $500
or $5000 but the key is that it is enough to hurt.

Do you own a home or property? Do you hope to someday? Don’t get too attached to it. The Supreme Court has ruled that local government can seize property from you at their discretion. The Ten Commandments is not constitutional in courthouses. Well, only in some. Actually it is constitutional in State Capital buildings. Remember, you are required to swear on the Bible in court. It’s not all a bit hypocritical is it? And the all important file sharing decision. How does that even make it to the Supreme Court? Well, file sharing is unconstitutional. Let’s recap: File sharing and the Ten Commandments unconstitutional. Taking your home is constitutional.

People are worried about President Bush appointing conservatives? You better hope he appoints some new judges in a hurry. Abortion will be the only right you have left. And if you think liberal judges care about your right to abortion you are wrong. It is an attack on religion. Particularly Christianity. That issue is just used to divide people while they strip you of your rights.

So many decisions are made by a narrow margin. An enormous amount of decisions on what is constitutional and what is not are made by a 5-4 margin. Isn’t our constitution worth more than that? That means a lot of times at least 4 or 5 judges ruling on everyone’s future in the United States have to be wrong. That in itself should be ruled unconstitutional. But who is going to do that? I think decisions that don’t have a clear majority should be brought to a vote by citizens. So many things have been passed that would not even come close to passing a vote of the people. Passed by activist judges who were not voted on and can’t be voted out. They take their time and whittle away your rights. Decisions that pave the way to make the next one easier for them to make. When they know something will bring an outcry from the public they simply don’t bring it to a vote. They save it for another day when they feel they can push it through with less resistance. Remember the Pledge of Allegiance debacle? Remember they ruled that an atheist father did not have legal standing to bring the case and did not rule that saying to Pledge of Allegience was constitutional. You can bet it wouldn’t be allowed if it weren’t for the enormous public outcry. Remember when these guys step over the line they are never satisfied. It is on to their next injustice.

The Supreme Court judges get plenty of help from the politicians. All the whining and bickering over crap, and the issues that go to the heart of the country are ignored. Just for one example, I’ll bet 90% of the people in this country don’t even realize that China is trying to take over one of the biggest oil companies in the United States. China, whose leaders have openly declared the United States as their biggest enemy… But all we hear about from most of the politicians is partisan bickering. Can you imagine if the United States tried to acquire a China Oil company? The outrage from liberals in this country would probably be ridiculous. But it’s OK if communist China does it to us.

Don’t think if you are against religion you shouldn’t still be worried about taking religious freedom out of the Constitution. It will cease to be a Constitution when it is separated. Everyone’s rights will be gone except for the elite few. You will truly have to worry about who is the President then. If you think you’ve seen abuse of power you haven’t seen anything yet. It will be too late then. The United States has always saved the world but who will come to our rescue?

Before anyone cries about the Patriot Act or the President they should focus their attention on what we already know to be a real danger. Liberal activist Supreme Court justices(injustices). They are an abomination to the United States. They have done more lasting damage to the United States than our enemies ever have. Where are the ant-war protesters on these issues? The environmentalist nuts? Save the “tree cricket” people? Abortionists? ACLU anyone? Hello? Where did they go? You are losing your rights and you are worried about President Bush stealing Saddham Hussein’s oil and false accusations of a terrorist having their Koran flushed down the toilet? Can you hear anything flushing right now?

We all want great relationships but they seem so elusive. What can you to strengthen yours? The key is communication, but try taking it up a notch. Communicate at all levels with your partner – emotional, mental, physical and spiritual.

Make time for communication with your partner, and remember that the greatest gift you can give someone else is to listen to them. Here are some tips for listening with love.

GIVE YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION

This means look at your partner, quiet background noise, and rid your mind of distractions. Don’t be thinking about your day, or thinking about what you’re going to say – next, or ever. Just still your mind, and make it receptive for taking in what the other person has to say.

ASK ABOUT FEELINGS

Ask you partner how they’re feeling, but include all levels – emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. This will help them get in touch with their center, and will also bring you closer to know how they’re feeling in all areas.

INDICATE WITH NONVERBAL EXPRESSIONS THAT YOU ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED

In doing this, you will generate interest. It’s not always easy to listen to what your partner has to say. You may have heard this, or another version, many times before. Often we have recurring things at work, for instance, that we need to talk about. Maintain active eye contact, add “uh huh” or “really?” or “oh my” from time-to-time, and try your best to keep still. Fidgeting may not mean you’re not interested, but it may be taken that way.

Learn to express love and concern on your face. It’s very important. This is natural when you look at your baby, for instance. Your heart melts … your eyes soften … you can’t help a big smile. Give this gift to your partner. Show that you love them. It’s in the eyes, first and foremost.

It’s also nice to add, “I love you,” or “I enjoy listening to you talk.” These reassurances are loving, and can’t be overused.

MAKE IT YOUR PARTNER’S TIME TO TALK

It’s better if you can take turns. This will allow your partner the time to talk it out completely, without you feeling the pressure to get on to your turn, and your concerns. In a good relationship, you can be sure your turn will come.

DO “TALK STORY”

This is a Polynesian term for a special kind of communication between two lovers. It means the couple sets aside a special time and one partner just talks and talks until they are through. It can go on for quite a long time. The other person just listens. This is harder than it may sound at first, but you can develop the habit, and it will greatly enrich your relationship.

It’s similar to “free associating,” because the speaker can count on not being corrected, judged, interrupted, or even really commented upon. This is amazingly freeing, healing, and amazingly hard to come by. It allows the speaker to get to the heart of the matter, and his or her feelings, and learn all sorts of things.

MANAGE TIME

Time is a crucial element to loving communication. We are under so much time pressure these days, our serious conversations can be squeezed in between changing diapers, taking out the garbage, and getting the dinner dishes done. We often feel rushed to hurry up and say what we have to say, and we listen the same way, unconsciously sending out the vibes that we hope our partner will just hurry up and get it said because we have to catch our favorite television show, or get to sleep because we have a big meeting in the morning.

The other person can sense when we’re listening this way, and it defeats the purpose of Talk Story.

A good way to do this is lying side-by-side, on the bed, a hammock, a blanket under the stars, a sailboat! It is “just” talking and one of the most healing things a person can do. The other person just listens, without making comments or judgments.

LEARN TO LOVE THE SILENCES

Between two people who are intimate, silence can be a very special place. They are often the prelude to very important sharing.

For one thing, it is rarely tolerated in casual conversation, so it is special just in itself. Being able to sit with the silence of your partner will allow them to look more deeply within, and bring up what it is they need to talk about. Don’t rush them by feeling the need to “fill air time.” Allowing empty space is a great gift you can give one another. Give them permission to take their time, and to fill the silence when and if they’re ready.

Good communication between two partners involves talking and listening. A lot more has been written on the art of talking. Remember that the listening, and the silences, are equally important.

* What are the different types of batteries?

Batteries are grouped in two ways. It is by application and by the process of construction. The major type of application batteries are the automotive, marine, and deep cycled. While the construction type are flooded, gelled and AGM.

The deep cycled types of batteries have a capacity for solar electric for back up energy. As for a technical description… Compared to AGM battery, this type has a starve electrolyte or dry mechanism. Most of the application batteries are made of fiberglass mat with a high-density compound of sulfuric acid, which applies a “no excess liquid” compounds.

Construction batteries have a standard and removable cap. It is sometimes called as maintenance-free battery. It also has a regulated sealed valve. The valve contributes the slight regulated pressures.

For a complete chart of all types of batteries, see the link in the author’s signature.

* What is a DC battery?

Direct current is a kind of electricity supplied. By using a DC battery, the electric charge moves in a single direction. It can cause an imbalance to the electric charges.

The side of the DC battery is sealed with electrolyte and several forms of metal. The electrolytes have a different form of electrons, which is positively charge.

The terminal of the battery has positive and negative poles. These poles are connected which each other. The current flows with the connection of the poles.

* What are sealed batteries?

Sealed batteries are non-spoilable and a maintenance-free battery. They have no liquid, therefore, there is no corrosion. A sealed battery has a characteristic of low self-discharging and cracking amperage.

A sealed battery is designed to supply both starting and reserve applications. It has a longer life and more competent outline. Most of the sealed batteries are used in order to have a more “cost cutting” battery and to minimize the price to the user.

* What is a deep cycle battery?

A deep cycle battery usually has a thick, heavy lead plate. This plate helps the battery withstand deep charging. It cannot dispense a charge rapidly compared to a starter battery. It can also be used to initiate combustion in engines. It is a kind of battery with a longer life span because of its thick plates.

* What is a starting battery?

A starting battery is intended for engines for combustion to continue without interruption. It has multiple thin plates which enable it to release a large amount of current very quickly for just a small amount of time.

On the other hand, a starting battery cannot stand being discharged deeply. The majority of the starter batteries can only withstand a complete discharge a few minute before spoiled.

* What is a gel cell battery?

A gel battery is also called a gel cell. It has a quantity of silica gel that converts the acids into a solid mass. The great benefit of these batteries is that it is unfeasible to drip acid even if they are broken.

This kind of battery charges slowly. They cannot cope up with the conventional automotive charger. The current flow is also limited. Furthermore, they can be damaged easily.

* What is an AGM battery?

AGM stands for “Absorbed Glass Mats.” It is the newest type of sealed battery that is used between plates. The plates are composed of a very fine fiber made of Boron and Silicon glass. This kind of battery has the same features as a gelled type, but it can take more of a discharge.

It does not spill out evenly if it is broken. Glass mats assist in holding together the acid and electrolytes. It is also immune from spilling damage because it has no liquid on its inner layer.
