Master Angel Certification Class

Introducing the Master Angel Certification Class, Fort Lauderdale with Charles Virtue and Peroshini Naidoo!

*Spanish Translation provided

This class is the most intensive and complete in-person certification class Charles has ever created. This class is a complete combination of all three of the classes Charles has taught most regularly for the last 10 years!

Charles has been teaching three main classes around the world -

ACP (Angel Certification Program) which is the level one Angel Certification class designed to get you in touch with angels, get you familiar with spiritual and angelic energy and teach you hands-on how to connect with and clearly communicate with Angels. This class was designed from the ground up to show you just how powerful you are, and the class allows you to see proof of this power by giving you multiple opportunities to practice all you learn in class in a relaxed and pressure free environment.

The next step, level 2 if you will, from the ACP class is the AACP class (Advanced Angel Certification Program) and this continuation of the powerful lessons taught in ACP is designed to take your reading/healing career to the next level. This class teaches students how to do advanced readings (with and without cards) to help you to get even clearer and more specific messages for your clients (and for yourself!). This class focuses on business aspects of being a reader/healer/spiritual teacher and helps to clear up many of the sometimes confusing aspects of advertisement, ‘getting out there’ and getting your life aligned with your true purpose and calling.

Charles also teaches Angelic Mediumship This course is all about learning how safe and beautiful it is to communicate with lost loved-ones with the help and guidance of the Angels. This class is meant to help dispel the myths and fears normally associated with mediumship work and help the students realize how essential and healing it is to offer this type of reading to their clients. I strongly believe that few types of readings can bring the amount of relief, well being and peace than what clients regularly experience with Angelic Mediumship. This is a gentle and down to earth class meant to empower students to bring confirmable messages from those that have left their bodies.

Incorporating her Soul Ascension Therapy and Stepping Into Your Power courses, Peroshini will teach you how to deepen your connection with nature and learn the magical Angelic Animal Communication modality. In this powerful segment you will learn:

- Who your animal guides are

- How to do animal guide readings for yourself and your clients

- How to communicate with animals

- How to communicate with the plant kingdom

Peroshini will also be bringing to class an introduction to being a modern day light worker. You will explore:

- The energetic differences between Ascended Masters, Angels and the animal kingdom and meet these powerful beings in guided meditations.

- How to use your gifts to make a tangible difference in the world

The Master Angel Certification Class

This is a complete combination of all other classes. This class teaches, giving accurate readings, healing, starting your own spiritual business, manifestation and of course - finding and living your life purpose. This class is meant to leave the students with no questions left to ask about their place in the world and their reason for being in this life.

This empowering and enlightening class helps to show the students just how powerful they are - and the class is able to prove this power to them by giving them a chance to practice their intuitive skills during class and see beyond doubt that they are able to connect to the energy of heaven and receive accurate messages for their in-class partners.

Each student in this class will receive 5 certifications!

-Certified ACP

-Certified Advanced ACP

-Certified Angelic Medium

-Certified Soul Ascension Therapist

-Master Angel Certification

Property Pal

Last edited: September 02, 2017 at 16:55:23

If you are considering to invest in property in Chiang Mai but you are not sure about certain things, such as: price, location, rentability, yield, contract and risks, we can help you.

Lawyers and real estate agents in Chiang Mai have their own limits and interests.
Lawyers cannot advise you on economic aspects, such as price and yield. They are often rather expensive and sometimes don't carry out what should be the scope of their work.
Agents in Chiang Mai mostly act out of one interest: to get commission and short term benefit, not to serve the best interests of their customers and to build a long term relationship. Even though some agents advertise that they represent your interest, the main driver is and remains for them to make the deal happen.
Some agents in the market that claim to represent your interests only, but in fact they are also selling and buying property and it's very doubtful that they can act purely on your behalf. However, often there is an inherent conflict of interest if they have a property on offer that they want to introduce to you.

We offer various real estate services, acting as your Property Pal:

Module I. Value assessment

We estimate: fair market value; potential for capital apprecation; possible rental yield; quality of interior / renovation; risks, current and possible future problems.

Fee: THB 3,000 for a condo, or THB 5,000 for another property
Discount possible if you selected more than one property in your shortlist.

Module II. Negotiation

Negotiation can be done for either party, but happens most often on behalf of the buyer. There are many things that can be considered in the negotiation to get a better deal. Being well prepared with regard to the values of the property, the situation of the seller, the quality of the building and interior design, and the government parameters can help a lot to get the best deal.

Fee: THB 3,000

Module III. Preparation of Purchase Contract

In the process and as a result of the negotiation, it can be very useful to put all points of agreement down in a contract. Often, certain things are forgotten or overlooked, leading to problems at the time of transfer.
We have compiled a standard contract based on examples from several agents and lawyers, that includes the best and most reasonable clauses and protection for both parties. Many contracts used in the market by both agents and lawyers are unfair or don't give appropriate protection to either side.
We will help you to draft everything into the contract that is important to you, and co-sign as a witness.

Fee: THB 3,000

Module IV. Assistance to transfer the title deed

When all paperwork and finance are ready, we assist you to go to the Land Registry Office until the moment the title deed is transferred. Although in principle the transfer is very straightforward, many things can go wrong due to inadequacy of paperwork or poor preparation for example with regard to reported value. We can also save on waiting time at the Land Registry Office.

Fee: THB 2,500

All above four modules together: THB 10,000

Our 2nd opinion can give you peace of mind that you are making the right investment choice that suits your purpose. Our assistance can help you successfully through all stages of the buying process.
We are confident that you can easily earn back our fees by avoiding mistakes, saving time and money on the purchase price, the negotiation and the paperwork.

Other service modules: upon your request

There can be all kinds of other questions you have with regard to (investing in) property. We are flexible to your demands and can offer other services at your request. Please ask us and we can discuss how we can help you.

Our interest is to help you deal with the property matters that concern you. We have no portfolio of properties and no mixed interests. We only have experience, knowledge and ambition that we can share with you. As a third person, we approach the situation in a different way, estimate value better, and impact the negotiated price.

Contact us with the property details and we will send you a specified approach.

Hello Rolf, you probably mean The Treasure Condominum, a project by the same developer of My Hip Condo: This is a new condominium project in planning. The information by the developer isn't complete yet, neither is their map. We will edit the information as soon more is confirmed.

As for other new developments in Chiang Mai, there are probably about 60-70 (!) new condominium projects now. It depends on personal preferences which one is good for you. We can help you to fine-tune your shortlist and evaluate projects on their price and quality.
Rolf Lethenstrom Posted on July 28, 2014 at 05:08:59
I just visited Chiang Mai and saw a add about a new property called the "The Treasury" I can not find the website if you could help me with that or any other new developments with contemporary style that a foreigner can buy I would be grateful.

Shop for Kansas City Chiefs gear at

Chiefs and Johnson Agree to 5-Year Deal

The Chiefs and Larry Johnson are finally getting along. After a couple of back and forth weeks of bickering, the two sides have come to terms on a new 6-year deal worth $45 million. Johnson was absent from Chiefs camp since it kicked off, and went back and forth with the club about wanting a new deal. He was on the field at camp Tuesday, and even took a swing pass from Brodie Croyle and raced down the sidelines, much to the delight of his teammates. “It was a long, hard negotiation,” general manager Carl Peterson said, according to AP. “We are very happy to have all our children in camp now.”

The contract extension with KC will keep him in red through the 2012 season — the extension plus the year remaining on his old contract. Johnson is guaranteed $19 million according to the Kansas City Star, and will make $27.7 million over the first three years of his deal. The back was fined more than $19,000 per day that he missed of camp. He broke the Chiefs single-season rushing record in each of the last two seasons, and last year set a league record with 416 carries. He rushed for 1,789 yards.

Despite being at camp now, Johnson is not expected to be on the field playing this week as the Chiefs host the New Orleans Saints Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium. “He is in really good shape and we’ll check it out more thoroughly but I have been monitoring his progress,” Peterson said of Johnson. “I think people already know that he was down in Arizona working very hard. I got a scouting report from Brady Quinn who was down there with him when he was out of camp. But again, Larry Johnson is very important to this organization. I think he knows that, his family knows that and we’re glad he’s going to be here – perhaps for the remainder of his career. I hope it goes beyond six years.”

Shoulder Pain Causes and Chiropractic Treatment Options

Shoulder pain is a common complaint from individuals seeking chiropractic care. About half of adults will experience shoulder and back pain during some point in their life. The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in our bodies. This makes it more susceptible to a variety of injuries. We often don’t think about our shoulders being delicate, but the truth is that they are one of the most at-risk joints for pain.

A Family Chiropractic Clinic treats many patients for a variety of shoulder pain and problems. We make it our priority to help your shoulder heal without the risk of surgery or side-effects of medications. Our understanding of the human body puts us in a superior position for treating shoulder and back pain.

Signs You Should See a Chiropractor for Shoulder Pain

If you find yourself experiencing shoulder pain that doesn’t seem to be related to a specific trauma then it’s a good idea to visit your chiropractor. Starting on a treatment plan sooner than later will help you get back to a pain free life more quickly. Reach out to a qualified chiropractor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Shoulder pain lasting more than a few days
  • Recurring shoulder pain
  • Inability to carry objects
  • Difficulty using your arm
  • Joint deformity
  • Shoulder pain at night
  • Shoulder pain while resting
  • Difficulty raising your arm

Any of these symptoms could point to a condition that can be treated with chiropractic care. Chronic shoulder pain doesn’t have to rule your life. Even if your pain regularly flares up and dies down on its own, you should see a chiropractor. They may be able to assist you with treating the cause of the pain.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

There are a number of causes responsible for the pain you may be experiencing in your shoulders. It’s important to first establish the cause of your shoulder pain. Once we know what is causing your pain then we can create a treatment plan specifically for your condition. Common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Bursitis/Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
  • Rotator Cuff Tear
  • Referred Neck or Back Pain
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Calcific Tendinitis
  • Shoulder Instability
  • Shoulder Dislocation
  • Ligament Injury
  • Labral Tear
  • Arthritis

Chiropractic care is a common treatment option for many of these causes. Your chiropractor will examine you during your appointment and ask questions about your health history. Using diagnostic tools they will help diagnose your condition so you can create a treatment program. This treatment program is specifically designed for your specific condition and pain level.

Your chiropractic treatment could also include complimentary physical therapies which are offered here in our office. These additional therapies are targeted at helping you heal more quickly and efficiently. Our expert staff is highly trained and experienced in treating shoulder pain resulting from many different causes.

Treatment Options for Shoulder Pain

Your chiropractor will create a treatment plan based on the specific cause of your pain. The goal of chiropractic care is to help the body heal itself. This makes it a great option for individuals who prefer to avoid undergoing risky surgery. Chiropractic treatment is also a better option than medication. This is because medication doesn’t help with the source of the problem, it only treats the symptoms. In fact, medicating shoulder pain may actually result in more damage. If pain subsides due to medication then it’s much easier for you to further injure your shoulder. It’s always best to get the proper treatment when dealing with this type of pain.

Many cases of shoulder pain are treated using traditional chiropractic methods. It’s not uncommon for the pain to be caused from a misalignment in the neck or upper back. Your chiropractor will make the needed adjustments to ensure that your spine is in alignment. They may also recommend additional treatments in conjunction with your chiropractic care. Many of these additional options can be done at your chiropractor’s office. They include:

  • Heat and Ice application
  • Stretching
  • Exercises
  • Ultrasound
  • Electrical stimulation

When your chiropractor feels that any of these additional treatment options will benefit you then they will suggest making them a part of your treatment plan.

Continued Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain

Depending on your condition, your chiropractor may recommend ongoing treatment for your shoulder pain. This can be common for recurring injuries or chronic pain in your shoulder. Your chiropractor can also provide you with advice on stretches and exercises that may improve your condition over time. By strengthening the muscles around the neck, back, and shoulder you can help reduce the occurrence of incident and reduce possible pain flare ups. A well trained chiropractor will be able to see beyond your immediate shoulder pain to help you find a long term solution for pain relief.

Call A Family Chiropractic Clinic today at (940) 566-0000 for more information on how we use chiropractic care to treat shoulder pain.

angry - colourHello, and welcome to Chris Griffin Says…

I have often been accused of having far too much to say for myself and being insistent on voicing my opinions whether people want to hear them or not. In the past, perhaps simply in a vain effort to get me to shut up, some friends have suggested that I set up and maintain a blog to commit some of my inane ranting and rambling to text. You know who you are and only have yourselves to blame.

Because now, here it is!

I will write about anything and everything, although there’s a good chance it will involve:

–  sport, specifically football, and more than likely, Wigan Athletic

– a general intolerance of people and situations I believe to be ridiculous

– basic musings about the life and times of the people in and around Wigan – where I live – and the wider world – where I don’t.

They say that everyone has a book inside them just waiting to get out. Well, I have three of them, and you can buy them all in this site’s Book Store, in paperback, e-book, PDF or Kindle format. Please do – everybody needs a pension fund!

You can sign up to my mailing lists here. Alternatively,  the site contains a links to my Facebook page. Please like and share the page and you will receive articles and updates direct to your Timeline, immediately they are published. From there you will see…

54F-square-orig_75x75For as long as I can remember, certainly since the advent of email, the end of the working week has always been marked by someone circulating a joke, or an amusing picture or article – the Friday Funny, as it became known. I have now evolved this into a regular blog that I call 5-4-Friday, a light-hearted list of 5 favourite things or 5 pet hates ideally related to some burning issue of the day or week.

vftw_square_75x75View From the West is a regular football-based blog with the subject matter normally focusing on events at the club I support, Wigan Athletic, as I see them unfold from my vantage point in the West Stand of the DW Stadium. For non-Wigan fans, wider football issues and talking points will also be given an airing. For a bit of fun, I will scour social and digital media and various fan forums to identify a Hit of the Week, a Miss of the Week and a Pic of the Week.

54T-square-orig_clipped_75x7554T is an occasional variation on 5-4-Friday in which a friend of the site, a minor celebrity (or, god-willing, if it takes off, a not-so-minor celebrity) will tell us which four famous people they would invite round to share a Friday evening chippy tea. We will learn what they would feed them, what drinks would be chilling in the fridge and, when the stimulating conversation dries up, what music they would listen to, what films would they stick in the DVD player and what entertaining games they would play.

predictionleague_clipped_75x753in! is a friendly football prediction competition that has been running for around twelve years now. Participants have to predict the outcome of just three fixtures from the weekend’s football programme with bigger rewards available the more off-the-wall you are prepared to go. It’s my type of gambling – all hypothetical, no real money involved. All the news for the 3in! players can be found on Chris Griffin Says…

dreamleague_blue_original_75x75Dream League is now into its 25th year. It is a fantasy football competition with a difference. Each of the 16 Owners (who should be old enough to know better) buys a squad of players and pits their team against the other 15 Owners in a traditional, home and away league season. Goals your players score are netted off against goals your defenders concede. Out-perform your opponent in the week and you win. Simples! Again, all the up to date news can be found here.

Poetry Workshop: The Art of Getting Messy

  • Nashville Public Library Inglewood Branch (map)

Painters' jeans are usually splattered in specks of color—evidence of the artist letting go and getting a bit messy. Sometimes we don't allow ourselves to get messy enough in our poems, though.

Social Policy

The Centre for Independent Studies remains at the forefront of social policy debate in Australia, with a focus on key issues such as welfare, health care, education and child protection. Ending the growth of the welfare state is a priority for the CIS social research team, as government spending on welfare continues to increase, seemingly unabated.

Since the 1980s, the CIS has been researching social policy issues, with the aim of promoting policies that emphasise personal responsibility and individual choice.

The CIS seeks a future for Australia that has individual freedom under a limited government. We believe that such a future would strengthen community life, leading to a more cohesive and flourishing civil society.

Vinyl trend continues

07 March 2013

Keith Robertson, training director of the National Carpet Cleaning Association, offers some advice on keeping up with the latest in vinyl floor care

Keith Robertson, training director of the National Carpet Cleaning Association, offers some advice on keeping up with the latest in vinyl floor care

Vinyl flooring materials have advanced dramatically and significantly increased importation of vinyl flooring from the Far East has provided the market with a much greater range than was the case when most products were made in Europe.

As the second decade of the twenty-first century approaches, it is now true that the specifics of the cleaning and polishing products used on a vinyl floor should be chosen according to the nature of the flooring, and it is essential that people cleaning vinyl flooring have and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for cleaning. Some products that make one class of vinyl floor shine can make others dull.

Expensive vinyl flooring products are generally thicker, softer and springier to the tread and much more resistant to staining, scratches, gouging and tearing.The best vinyl flooring also usually carries a longer and more effective warranty with fewer get-out clauses.

The customer's impression of how well any given vinyl floor lasts is usually proportional to the quality of the topmost wear layer.The thickness and nature of the wear layer varies considerably and it is virtually always thicker and less vulnerable to damage in higher priced vinyl materials.Most of the loss of shine and colour consistency in an ageing vinyl floor occurs because of microscratching by grit, sand and dirt, to which the most recently developed urethane finishes used for the wear layer are much more resistant than those used in the 1980s and 1990s.

Take care
Unfortunately it is often assumed that daily, or even weekly brushing, wiping or washing and occasional buffing is all that is required to keep vinyl in good condition. Not so.

Some vinyl floors may require thorough deep scrubbing using a rotary machine and proprietary nylon pad or suitable brush head to properly clean the floor.

Other floors may benefit from having the remaining damaged seals and dressings removed to enable bright fresh coatings to be applied. Frequently, it is not fully understood that water based emulsion dressings are added not only to enhance the appearance but also to protect the floor surface.

Dust mats at every door opening on to vinyl flooring can help a lot by reducing scratching of the surface.They can also help minimise the high amount of staining that arises from the treading in of the sealants used for tarmac driveways.

Life is hard
At the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) almost half of the association's 600 members now list Hard Floor Care among their floor cleaning specialties.The NCCA also runs a hard floor care training course to teach members new to the industry how best to approach the maintenance and repair of vinyl.

The extent of refurbishment needed for any particular floor relates to the actual damage, the type and location of the floor.What has also improved within the last 12 months is the ability to deal with surfaces that were previously considered beyond redemption. Instead of tearing these floors out, replacing the sub-floor and supplying and laying new vinyl, it is now possible to carry out 'Full Restoration'.

Should you want to learn more about this system or if you would like more information about vinyl and resilient floor care, feel free to call Keith Robertson direct on the number in the box.

Keith Robertson is currently the training director for the National Carpet Cleaners Association. In addition, he is an IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning Restoration Certification) trainer.

He writes extensively on floor care subjects while also having run his carpet cleaning and floor care company for the last 33 years.

Stop Allowing Yourself to be a Hostage to Success

Body shop deductible loans

Stop asking your estimators to lie to vehicle owners. Seriously.

Because if they are just selling, they are never really being honest with your potential customers.

Here’e the rub, I sell too, so what am I talking about?

The collision business is not easy. That’s a fact. Another fact is, the only way to really be ethical in sales is to only sell to people who are completely, no ifs and no buts a 100% fit for your collision center. No exceptions.

Guess what?

Vehicle owners who are qualified, already want your bodyshop to repair their vehicle. So you don’t have to sell them. They are already sold.
you don't have to sell them. They're ready to buy right now.

So who do you keep trying to sell? You may have guessed it. The rest of the vehicle owners that need repairs out there, who are not yet a 100% perfect fit.

So selling is bad, selling is an uphill battle of trying to convince someone that they should have something they really don't want or need.
All you’ll encounter is resistance, objections, not to mention, all those people who lead your estimator’s on because they are too afraid to say "no" and then never return any of your estimator’s calls or emails.

Here’s my last fact:

When people need something from a bodyshop business, they know it. Nobody needs to sell it to them. When they want something, they know it, and don't need to be sold. Sure, there might be some price negotiation or they more than likely do not know how they are going to pay their deductible. That’s it. The next time a vehicle owner seems to be playing games, throwing out hollow objections or not returning your estimator’s calls, you should consider that maybe you were not altogether honest with yourself in even considering them to be a good prospect in the first place. Until you solve their problem. No deductible cash. Use “in-house” deductible loans managed by Collision Financial Services. Register your shop today @

Whilst technology has spawned a great many things that are too extensive to list, for the purpose of this article it has most notably birthed a new era in architecture. Through the introduction of 3D visualisations which have undoubtedly shifted the landscape in a different direction, architects and those in the construction industry as a whole are able to explore new dimensions within their field.  Today, 3D visualisations are the norm, although only mastered by a few. Whilst it is not exceptionally complicated in any way, one certainly needs to have an eye for design, not to mention temperament for dealing with technology. On that note, here are a few benefits of this practice on architecture.

Enhanced Visual Representation

One of the biggest concerns most clients have when looking to build is that they cannot always immediately picture what the final result looks like. This has in fact been a point of frustration for many years, as people have not been able to depend on very much other than their mind’s eye. Now, the story is rather different. Thanks to 3D visualisation, you get to have a complete view of what the finished building could potentially look like, effectively allowing you to make calculated changes as necessary, instead of prodding in the dark.

Precision is incredibly important in the world of architecture and architectural rendering; else you will end up with oddly shaped buildings which are not welcome if that is not what you wanted. 3D visualisations allow for extreme precision and accuracy, since CAD data, Google Earth, and other technical tools are merged to produce the final result. You can even converge actual photos with 3D visualisations, to help you come up with something completely new and innovative, all the while based on something that particularly catches your fancy.

Improved Marketing

Architects are now able to market their services more powerfully through 3D visualisations. Instead of spending time drawing several plans and trying to make clients understand what they have in mind, they are now instead able to show it straight up. When vying with other architects and designers for a job, this is especially useful since they can quickly focus on the strengths of their concept, and show the client how they can work with them to deliver the desired result. They can even be merged into videos, which take things up a notch.

Much as you might wonder how using all these technical tools when rendering is simplicity, remember that they all make perfect sense to those within the industry. The benefit here is to clients since they need not pore over-elaborate, complicated architectural plans which they understand nothing of unless they are walked through it by the architect. A visual representation is quite simple in this regard since clients can decide whether they like how it looks or not and whether certain functionalities need more improvement than others. They need not spend half an hour trying to locate the door to a room, when the door is pretty much drawn up in the presentation, making 3D visualisations incredibly efficient on top of everything else as well.

Simple Tips to Securing Your Laptop

Friday, October 14th, 2011

Back in 2005 the FBI reported that the losses due to laptop theft were estimated around $3.5 million. They also identified that the average cost associated with a lost company laptop was around $32,000. Since 2005 the number of laptop users has dramatically increased and it has been assessed that one in ten laptops have or will be stolen. Laptop protection has become a major concern for many laptop users. The threat that laptop thieves pose is more than just concern for our expensive devices, it triggers our fear that someone could have access to our stolen and vital personal information.

Kensington Laptop Cable Lock
From , Oct 2011

Laptop theft is a significant and serious threat. Thieves will often target laptops because they are small, easy to grab, easy to conceal, there is a market for them, and they are a quick way to get cash. Most of these criminals target laptops because they know that a property theft charge is a better alternative to a personal robbery charge. Once stolen, a laptop can then be sold to a used computer store or pawn shops for as much as half the original retail costs.

What can you do to secure your laptop? There are two components to laptop security, the physical side and the virtual. Physical protection refers to instinctual protection like keeping your laptop with you, keeping it out of sight as well as purchasing protection devices such as cable locks, laptop safes, and motion detector alarms. Virtual security on the other hand implies defenses such as software protection programs, passwords, and tracking safeguards.

The following guide is intended to identify security techniques and tools to protect you from being a victim of a laptop theft. The tips will cover practical security methods, virtual defense techniques, and physical protection devices. For the best protection it is recommended that you use a combination of each.

Practical Security Tips:

  • Never leave your laptop unattended or in plain sight.
  • Keep your laptop in a secure, or hidden place
  • Lock your doors and windows when you’re not in your room.
  • Never leave your laptop in an unlocked vehicle.
  • If you leave it in your vehicle make sure that it the car is locked and the laptop is out of sight. The best place is in a locked trunk or covered in the back seat.
  • Write down your laptop’s serial number.
  • Don’t store sensitive content on your laptop.
  • Don’t share your passwords and make sure that they are sufficient.
  • Don’t store your passwords. A lot of programs now have the option to remember passwords. It may make it easier for you to access your information but if stolen it will also make it that much easier for criminals to gain access to your accounts.
  • Personalize the look of your laptop with clear identifiable marks.
  • Carry your laptop in a nondescript carrying case, briefcase, or bag. Placing it in a case designed for computers is an immediate alert to thieves that you have a laptop.
  • Lock the laptop in your office during off-hours.
  • Back up your information on disks and store the disks at home or the office.
  • Pay attention to where you use your laptop. Be aware that someone behind or next to you can see your computer screen.
  • At airport checkpoints, be observant. Don’t place the laptop on a conveyor belt until you are ready to walk through the checkpoint.

Physical Protection Tips:

  • Sometimes just having some type of security device attached to your laptop is a good enough deterrent for thieves.
  • When you have to leave your laptop unattended you can store it in a Laptop Locker. These safes secure your device whether it’s in your office, car, or home.
  • When out in public or in a shared office you can use a laptop Cable Lock. Using a laptop security cable is one of the easiest methods of laptop security and protects against theft. Click on the link to see some cable lock options.
  • Another option for securing your laptop is to have a secured bracket or a docking station. A security bracket or dock bolts your laptop in a stationary location either in its open or closed position.
  • If there isn’t a structure to attach your cable lock then you could always use a Motion Sensor Alarm.
  • A STOP Security Plate will also prevent criminals from stealing your device. These stickers have a unique barcode for each laptop and user. If the sticker is removed it reveals a permanent “Stolen Property” mark and provides a number to report the theft.
  • Check out devices with Biometrics like finger print or retina scanners.
  • You can also use a Privacy screen to ensure you are the only viewer able to see your information. Privacy screens limit the angle at which the computer screen is visible.

Virtual Defense Tips:

  • Although user passwords are not nearly as effective as they once were, it doesn’t hurt to still use them.
  • Encrypt your sensitive documents.
  • Use Full or Whole Disk encryption. This is software that encrypts the data on the entire disk including the Bootable Operating System partitions. Disk encryption software does not encrypt the Master boot Record. However certain Disk encryption hardware will encrypt everything including the MBR.
  • Purchase Remote Laptop Security software so that you can deny access rights to someone trying to access your stolen device.
  • See if your device is eligible for laptop insurance from
  • Use a Theft Recovery Software.
  • Set up a BIOS password. The BIOS software is built into the PC, and it is the first code that a computer runs when powered on. Establishing a password in the BIOS will ensure that a laptop thief will be unable to load the Operating System unless they acquire the correct credentials. This Pre-Boot Authentication guarantees a secure environment that is external to the operating system. Pre-Boot Authentication is confirmed with something you know (username or password), something you have (smart card or other token), or something you are (biometric data).

How to establish a password in BIOS:

1. Start or restart your computer. When the BIOS screen comes on, press the Delete key to enter BIOS setup. (Some computers used “F12? or “F2”, or other keys)

2. Use the arrow keys to choose “Security” and press Enter. You will then see “Supervisor Password” and “User Password” on your screen.

3. Use the arrow keys to move down and highlight “Set User Password”, Press Enter. Enter the password in the password field and enter the password again in the confirm password field when it appears. Press Enter to set the password.

4. Use the arrow key to move down and highlight “Set Password Check”, press Enter. The options to invoke the password during “Setup” or “Always” will then appear. Choosing “Setup” requires a password to enter the BIOS. Choosing “Always” requires a password every time you start your computer. Highlight your choice and press Enter.

5. Press Esc one time, use the arrow key to select “Exit”, press Enter. Save your changes and exit. Your computer will then exit the BIOS screen and reboot.

When a laptop is stolen the actual loss can be huge. The replacement cost of a stolen laptop includes the cost of the new laptop, any stolen peripheral devices (network cards, modems), replacement software, time to configure the new device, and time to install new software. Not to mention any work material, photos, purchased media, memories, and personal information are now history. Any stored information on your computer is vulnerable and even if laptop thieves can’t benefit from the sale of your computer they could potentially gain access to personal information or your online accounts. If you aren’t already utilizing some of these suggestions or devices we strongly urge you to do so immediately, overlooking the importance of laptop security could be huge mistake.

Have a Great Day!

10 iPad2 Security Tips to Help Protect Your Investment

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Earlier this month Apple held its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, during the event Apple unveiled the new features of iOS 5 which is set to arrive later this fall . Although the much anticipated release of the iPad2 had come and gone back in March, the news of the newest iOS  has seemed to spur iPad2 sales. At a price range set from $499-$829, these devices are definitely an investment that is worth protecting. The following are ten tips to help ensure the safety and protection of iPad devices. The list covers both physical and virtual security so that customers can hopefully prolong the life of their device and be able to take full advantage of the upcoming iOS improvements.

ipad Passcode screen

from, June 2011

  • Use a Case:

The iPad Smart Cover isn’t a customer’s only choice however it seems to offer the most protection along with usability. In addition to providing protection, the Smart Cover can also be transformed into an iPad stand with various positions, activate the sleep mode when covered, wake the device when uncovered, grip the iPad using built in magnets, comes in a number of colors and is available in two different materials. Users can also choose to use full shell cases for heavy duty protection or portfolio and envelope cases for the professional environment.

  • Screen Protection:

A case or cover doesn’t necessarily mean the screen is fully protected. Screen or scratch protectors are well worth the purchase and not only do they prevent scratches but they have also been known to prevent the screen from shattering on impact. Prior to the release of the iPad2, Apple had stopped selling all anti-glare and screen protection film as what was thought to be a way to advertise the iPads screen durability. However screen protectors are still available through other companies, the trick is finding one that provides durability and is easily adhered to the iPad without causing damage.

  • Physical Security:

It may seem like common sense but some people still leave their iPad unattended or believe it to be safe in their car. A car is not a safe place to leave expensive devices, leaving your device in sight and unattended will only entice someone to break in and steal it. In addition to passwords, iPad owners can also use security locks and security cables to provide extra protection when not in their possession.

  • Password Protection:

At the very least all users should utilize the password option to protect their information and data. To configure the password settings go to Settings, General, and Passcode Lock. Once the password option is activated the passcode will be required when restarting the device, waking the device, and unlocking the screen. Users can also specify how many times the screen must be locked before activating the password prompt. A typical passcode has four digits however they can be changed to a longer alphanumeric code by disabling the simple passcode option.

  • Auto-Lock, iPad tracking and other Security Preferences:

The iPad2 comes with a find my iPad app that lets the user locate a stolen or lost iPad as long as it’s still operational. Users can also determine how many password attempts are acceptable before disabling the device or remotely erasing the data from the device. Try to avoid using the common passcodes like 1234 or 0000. The auto – lock will activate the lock automatically after the iPad is inactive for the amount of time specified by the user. If someone does happen to acquire your device then these appropriate security settings along with an adequate password will at least protect your information.

  • Safe Browsing:

When surfing the Internet from your mobile device there are several options that provide extra protection. For example turning off the Auto-Fill option in the Safari Browser settings will disable the iPad from remember passwords or other critical information. You should also check to make sure that your pop-up blocker is turned on as well as the fraud warning feature. When it comes to accessing websites and email attachments be sure to practice good judgment. Users can also clear browsing history, cookies, and cache so that no information is stored.

  • Perform Update:

It is extremely important that you perform all available updates not only for the iOS but for your iPad applications as well. Updates are often released to resolve vulnerabilities and to protect users against newly discovered malware like viruses and spyware. Updates for Apps can be performed by accessing the app store and selecting update all under the update menu.

  • Backup Information on iTunes:

Performing routine backups in iTunes can help protect your information and prevent data loss. In the event that your data or device is lost, corrupted, or stolen, users will still have access to it on their PC’s. The upcoming iCloud can also be used to store backup information.

  • Disable Bluetooth when not in use:

While not using Bluetooth it is recommended that you turn off the feature. Allowing Bluetooth channel to remain open can potentially create a vulnerability that is susceptible to intrusion.

  • Extra Apps For Extra Security:

Consider purchasing apps that provide enhanced security. Here’s a list of 50 Security Apps that perform functions like storing passwords, activating alarms, monitoring business transactions, and safe web browsing.

Hope these tips help keep your device safe and your information protected. For more details check out and keep an eye out for Apple  iOS 5 this fall!

These security tips are not limited to only the iPad2, many of them can also be applied to the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices.

Thanks for Reading and Have a Great Day!

Strong Passwords: Major Elements That Every Password Should Include

Friday, December 24th, 2010

wordpress login

Hello, Dustin back with some useful tips to assist you in creating a strong password.  How confident are you with the strength of your current passwords?

Some of the elements of a strong password may appear to be common sense but be often overlooked.  Most applications, resources or tools at your disposal require password protections that should not be taken for granted regardless of the level of importance that the information offers.

Passwords are for your safety and even if the information that is being protected is not detrimental, in the hands of criminals this resource could be utilized in an effective manner.  It is more than likely that if a password is required the information is important and for your eyes only.  Exercise the following steps to ensure that your information is safe and sheltered from outside users with a strong password.

  • The longer the better: A strong password should utilize 10 or more characters.
  • Variation Matters: Mix it up! Don’t use repetitive characters or common sequences.
  • Add Complexity: By adding numbers, symbols, and various upper and lower case styles will greatly increase the protection of your password.
  • Take advantage of the full keyboard: Avoid using familiar character groupings or letters and numbers found in the same row (example: qwerty123). Branch out using the full keyboard and select characters that have some distance between them.

Here is a Helpful method for creating a password:

  • Create or think of a saying that is familiar to you,
  • Select a letter position of each word, for example the first, second or last letter in each word, use this to create a row of letters,
  • Add a couple numbers that you can easily remember,
  • Add a symbol if allowed,
  • Select 1 or more letters and capitalize it,

When Life Hands You Lemons Make Lemonade.

Check to see how this password checks out in the Password Meter!

Additional Tips regarding your password:

  • Keeping a hard copy of your password is o.k. but make sure that it is also secure.  Make sure you don’t leave a hard copy of your password out or think your being clever by keeping it under your computer keyboard or taped inside you desk drawer.  The best place is locked in a safe.  Also avoid giving out your password or let others see it when being typed.
  • Avoid using personal information such as your birth date, your pet’s name or email account.
  • Number sequences may be easy to remember, but 1234 is also easy for unwanted users to figure out as well.
  • Avoid misspellings, slang, backwards or transposed spellings.
  • Don’t use all the same passwords for multiple applications.

Still not sure if your password is strong enough?

Employ a password checker!  When creating a password some applications visually show you how strong your password is and won’t let you proceed until it meets their specifications.  However for those programs that don’t present this resource users can venture out and use secure public password checkers.  Try this Password checker with your current passwords! Secure Password Checker.  Also available online and as browser add-ons are password generators, but these can be hard to remember since they don’t use data that is significant to you.

Did your passwords meet these standards? Hope these tips and resources will be able to assist you when creating or recreating your first line of defense.

Passwords: Keys to the Kingdom

Friday, February 5th, 2010
Hey, everyone. It’s Josh from Computer Fitness again. We are a Tech Support Company for Small and Medium businesses located in Finksburg, MD. password

This week I’d like to talk about Passwords. We all have them in various areas of our electronic lives. We all need them, and too often we are not as careful as we should be when choosing them. In choosing a password there are several things to consider.

An important part of choosing a password is the length. Certainly a lot of websites give us guidelines when setting the password length, but they are often the minimum requirements. A good thing to keep in mind for password length is making them longer than 8 characters.  This is because of the way that different operating systems interpret them. Without getting too technical, passwords are harder to break them if they are over 8 characters.

Another “best practice” is to include special characters and numbers in your passwords. This can turn something like “baseball” into b4s3ba!!”. Someone could easily guess your password if they know you well or your interests.  However, simply knowing you like baseball will not be enough if you add in these steps. Someone could spend days trying to figure out the combination, and more often than not, they would be locked out before actually cracking your password.

Well, that’s all for this week. Hopefully, you now have a better idea of how to keep your personal accounts a little safer online. If you have any questions, feel free to email me!

Cone Beam CT Scan

We are thrilled to announce the addition of CBCT (cone beam CT scan) technology to our office. This high-tech tool gives us 3-D imaging in just 14 seconds!

The most frequent reasons for needing a dental CT scan are:

  • Sinus issues
  • Dental infections
  • Failed root canals
  • Undiagnosed pain
  • Placement or removal of dental implants
  • Extraction of wisdom teeth
  • TMD/TMJ issues
  • Sleep issues (We are also pleased to offer take-home sleep studies.)
  • Bone issues in either jaw

If you are suffering from any of these problems, ask your dentist if you would benefit from a dental CT scan.

Laser dental treatments

Restorative dentistry has come a long way in recent years, thanks to the latest in laser and computer technology. Lasers have been the standard of care in medicine for surgical and cosmetic procedures – LASIK, wrinkle, hair and vein removal and many others.

Fewer shots, less drilling & less anesthesia

The Waterlase® laser was approved for dental procedures in 1998. Since then, thousands of dentists have performed millions of successful procedures – reducing the need for shots, anesthesia, drills and post-op numb lips. Waterlase also reduces patient anxiety and provides a more relaxing dental experience. Waterlase is a versatile tool that allows us to cut and shape teeth, bone and gum tissue with less trauma. It also allows us to do procedures that can’t be done with traditional tools such as drills and scalpels.

Same-day CEREC® crowns & bridges

If you have ever had a crown or “cap” placed to restore a damaged tooth, you likely had to make multiple visits to your dentist for impressions to be made, placement of a temporary crown and placement of the final restoration after adjustments. Thanks to CEREC dentistry, we can now create a precision-crafted crown restoration in just one visit. Single-visit crowns are natural-looking, tooth-colored restorations that fit and function perfectly.

No temporaries, no multiple visits, no hassles

Single-visit crowns make it possible for you to visit once and walk out with a brand-new crown and a nicer smile that day. Get the fastest, most convenient dental crowns you have ever had and improve your smile at the same time.

Discover state-of-the-art restorative dental care with Concierge Dentistry. Call 310.820.0123 or for your convenience, you can fill out our Request an Appointment form to book your consultation. In addition to English, we speak Russian, Spanish and Farsi.

Mormon Boy Scout Sex Case Ends with $1.4M Settlement

April 14, 2010

Oregon man awarded $1.4M in Boy Scouts sex case

By WILLIAM McCALL, Associated Press Writer William Mccall, Associated Press Writer Apr 13, 2010

PORTLAND, Ore. – A jury delivered an embarrassing rebuke to the Boy Scouts of America on Tuesday when it found that the organization failed to protect a man who was molested by an assistant Scoutmaster in the early 1980s.

Jurors awarded $1.4 million to the former Portland man and decided that the Irving, Texas-based organization was liable for up to $25 million in punitive damages that will be decided in a separate phase of the trial.

Over the first three weeks of testimony, secret Scout “perversion files” — records of known sex offenders — were used as evidence, though it’s unclear if jurors consulted the documents while deliberating over two days.

The Scouts denied allegations of negligence and said the files actually helped them keep child molesters out of their ranks.

Lawyers for Kerry Lewis, 38, the victim who filed the lawsuit, argued the Boy Scouts organization was reckless for allowing former assistant Scoutmaster Timur Dykes to continue to associate with the victim’s Scout troop after Dykes acknowledged to a bishop for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints early in 1983 that he had molested 17 Boy Scouts.

Dykes was later convicted three times of various abuse charges involving boys and served time in prison. Shortly before trial, he acknowledged in a deposition to abusing Lewis.

The church was the charter organization for an estimated third to one half of the Boy Scout troops in the nation in the 1980s.

The Boy Scouts must pay $840,000, or 60 percent, of the $1.4 million verdict while the Cascade Pacific Council must pay 15 percent, or $210,000.

The church’s $350,000 portion, or 25 percent, was considered to be part of its settlement so that money has already been paid, said church attorney Steve English.

“We settled these claims well over a year ago and were able to give the victims compensation to start their healing process,” he said, adding that “the LDS church absolutely condemns any kind of child abuse.”

Deron Smith, Boy Scouts national spokesman, said the organization believes the allegations against its efforts to protect young people are not valid and the Scouts will appeal.

“We are saddened by what happened to the plaintiff. The actions of the man who committed these crimes do not represent the values and ideals of the Boy Scouts of America,” he said.

In court on Tuesday, Lewis tried not to react as the verdict was read but gave his mother a long hug afterward.

All lawyers in the case declined comment pending the second phase of the trial to determine whether to award $25 million in punitive damages.

Nine other similar claims are pending against the Scouts.

Kelly Clark, an attorney for Lewis, introduced the confidential files to argue that the Boy Scouts was negligent because the files were not used to protect boys from alleged sex abusers but instead were kept secret.

Although the existence of “perversion files” kept by the Boy Scouts at its national headquarters has been known for awhile, the Portland case is believed to be only the second time any of the documents have been seen by a jury.

The Boy Scouts has fought to keep those files confidential. But the Oregon Supreme Court in February approved the release of more than 1,000 files the Scouts kept on alleged pedophiles from 1965 to mid-1984 to be used in the Portland trial.

Chuck Smith, the attorney for the Boy Scouts, told the jury the files helped the Scouts keep potential pedophiles out of the organization. He also said the Scouts relied on local Scout leaders and volunteers to take action because they, not the national organization, were supervising the boys.

He and Paul Xochihua, the attorney for the Boy Scouts’ Cascade Pacific Council, further argued that records were unclear about whether Dykes remained officially involved with Scouting after his admission.

The Lewis case is set to resume April 20 and involves only the national Boy Scouts, since the jury decided the Cascade Pacific Council was not liable for punitive damages and the church has settled.
