House To House Search

Trying To Imagine Urban Warfare

I watch and read the news everyday on the fighting in Fallujah, not realizing the true extent of what our troops are up against until I ran across this ariel map of Fallujah taken last November. Dialup users beware this is a 12Mb file but very well worth a close look at the true meaning of house to house search. After seeing this map indeed a few extra prayers will be said tonight for our troops stationed there.

Firewall Safety

Firewall Safety

Off to the right I posted a new article, Understanding Your Firewall, a firewall is a piece of hardware or software that stops would-be idiots from hijacking your computer, special note for cable and satallite users,the DNS range is more widely know than for dialup accounts. I have Charter Cable so I expect a few more idiots to scan for open ports over a dialup account as cable companies use a specific DNS range (DNS=your computer's address and location). Windows XP has a built-in firewall so make sure it is turned on. Other operating systems need to have a firewall added in. If you don't think you need a firewall and that nobody is interested in you, think again, these jerks scan entire ranges of DNS's looking for an open door. I posted the article and am doing so here to let you know how important it is. To show my point I was going to add my BlackIce (Firewall software) log here but realized it is three pages long just for the last 24 hours. A total of 186 idiots out there just scanning the internet for somebody to have the door open. Just when you thought email was the only way to get hacked...those 186 idiots may have found your door open !

If you need help turning on your firewall or need one, give me a buzz.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 'Save Picture As' Image Download Spoofing

System effected
Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6.0 with Windows XP SP2

A vulnerability exists which can be exploited by malicious people to trick users into downloading malicious files. The vulnerability is caused due to Internet Explorer using the file extension from the URL's filename when saving images with the 'Save Picture As' command and also strips the last file extension if multiple file extensions exist. This can be exploited by a malicious web site to cause a valid image with malicious, embedded script code to be saved with an arbitrary file extension.

Workaround: Disable the 'Hide extension for known file types' option and add the proper extension to the file name in the File name box when saving.

A Proof of Concept exploit has been published.

Perchlorate

Perchlorate

The government has found traces of a rocket fuel chemical in organic milk in Maryland, green leaf lettuce grown in Arizona and bottled spring water from Texas and California.

What's not clear is the significance of the data, collected by the Food and Drug Administration through August 19.

Sufficient amounts of perchlorate can affect the thyroid, potentially causing delayed development and other problems.

Full story....

Federal agencies have been trying since the early 1990s to determine what level of perchlorate is safe.

You would think in 14 years they would know...

Most Looked Up Word

A four-letter term that came to symbolize the difference between old and new media during this year's presidential campaign tops U.S. dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's list of the 10 words of the year.

Merriam-Webster Inc. said on Tuesday that blog, defined as "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks," was one of the most looked-up words on its Internet sites this year.

Little beknownst, I am also an earthquake buff. So here's a link to a "VERY" cool software that just happens to also be "FREE" from the USGS.

The Box

Thinking Outside The Box

Thinking Outside the Box means thinking beyond the parameters of human consciousness and experience - to see beyond the norm - to be a visionary - to activate your DNA. We exist inside the box - the physical plane - but we soon evolve our conscious awareness back to its source of creation - outside the box.



Imagine your experience in third dimension as a puzzle box.
The spheres, rods, grids, holding it in place.
When you think outside the box, the box goes away.
[Note; 3x3=9=closures, endings]

Physical reality is the Tree of Life.
Tree=wood
Geometric shapes - Platonic Solids -
create physical forms that keeps you inside the box.
When you awaken - you move your consciousness 'outside the box'.

Pinocchio was a wooden puppet who became a physical boy.
He was guided by the 'Blue Fairy' (Blue=blueprint of our reality)
In many meditations I have seen humanity as puppets on strings.
To prove himself, he entered the water
(collective unconscious - creation)
and saved his creator, Geppetto.

Are you trapped inside the box?
Can you think 'outside of the box'?
It means leaving behind frustration, anger, stress, and fear.
Can you be creative?
Can you manifest in a reality of infinite possibilities?

Relax. Close your eyes.
See yourself 'in the box'.
Now visualize yourself
or remote view yourself moving
'outside of the box'.

What do you see?

If reality is a 'box'
created by electromagnetic energy grids
how does one use the hidden key to unlock the door
to become free of the pull of the grid of emotions and
able to think 'out of the box' and into higher awareness?

Metaphors: The Ark of the Covenant
is a box which holds a source of creational light energy
that works as a generator or battery in our reality.
Creation takes place outside of the box.
How does one move 'out of the box' to find the true
source of the power or light that forms our reality? The box is also a vessel. Your physical form is often referred to as a vessel at the heart of which is your soul spark of light. When you move your consciousness 'out of the box'
you move out of your physical form.

We also have Jack in the BoX
who is the Clown, Trickster, Joker
who is linked to the elements of surprise
music, geometry and The Game of 3D.
When you think 'out of the box'
you can think beyond his Game.

Does the box have many layers and dimensions?
Is(?) Humanity evolving out of the box and into the light of creation.
