Pet Tails

Within the Mind of a Millionaire

Two Pals Hi Everyone! We are Moses (aka Moe) and Oliver (aka Ollie.) We were adopted, three years apart, from the Sacramento Co. Animal Shelter by Sylvia & Wendell Coon. We were both very ill when adopted, but with all the loving care from our new Mom and Dad we have turned into the healthiest, handsomest, and nicest cats possible. We fought when we first arrived. Now we are real buddies and play “chase around,” we groom each other and we sleep together at the foot of the bed. We are are indoor cats, of course. I am Ollie the smart one, it took only two days to figure out how to open all of the kitchen cabinets by standing with my front paws over the non-hinged side of the door and walking backwards on my legs. I can also pull out the kitchen drawers, the purpose of which is to throw the napkins, tea towels, etc all over the kitchen floor. I am Moe, a sweet little cat who doesn’t have the cabinetry skills as finely tuned as Ollie does. I can get the door of a cabinet open with my paw, nose my way in and then the door slams shut on my tail. My claim to fame is to open the closed door to the guest bedroom (cat free space). I do this by leaping on the closed door and hitting the lever door knob on the way down to push the door open. Then Ollie and I take a nap on the guest bed. For a long time our dad was blamed to having left the door open before they discovered who the culprit was. It is rumored that we might have a new little sister one of these days…yikees.

Making the Right Choices As we go through life and develop our relationships, we are influenced

by neighbors, friends, church, teachers and of course our parents. Other major influences are the things we read, the music we listen to, what we watch on TV, and of course where we work. All these things help to make up our belief structure. If you think about it, until we read it, hear it, or experience it, we have no way to judge it. But after years of programming, whether good or bad, our past experiences and relationships make up our core belief structure and determines how we react to the daily occurrences in our life.

Its starts during childhood in a home were the parent constantly told the child they were fat or lazy, or they would never amount to anything. Or it was said, “why can’t you be like your brother or sister?” In school the teacher constantly picked on one particular child telling them, “you’ll never make it through school let alone make it in life, you’ll never amount to anything.” How about the kids that were considered most likely to not amount to anything. How about the kids that were constantly getting into trouble, what kind of programming were they getting?

Don’t think for one minute these kids were not being programmed for failure. But usually it’s not so obvious it is usually comments like “you have to be realistic”, “be careful, it’s better to be safe than sorry”. Now the flip side of this is the kids that had positive feedback by people like their coaches who said things like, “keep this up and you’ll be MVP, there’s a scholarship with your name on it”. The students whose teachers were constantly praising and acknowledging them in class; parents who constantly encourage and focus on successes not mistakes or failures have a hugely positive impact on a child’s self esteem. I remember growing up around both positive and negative influences. At times I thought I would never amount to much and at other times I felt I could do anything depending on who said what to me. I look back on the influence my mother had on my brothers and me and I have to say that if you weren’t on her good side you knew it and she made sure everyone else did too. I look back at some of my friends and I can now see why they as adults act the way they do and have poor self images and low self esteem.

I have to say it was my father who always believed in me and always supported all of his five boys in all our endeavors usually leading by example.

Continued next month.

How to Succeed: A Fresh Look at Familiar Tools

Q. How can I make my business successful?

R. Each article in Home Based Entrepreneur answers one piece of that question. The basics never change; write a good business plan, get advice from reputable sources, meet people and ask them to try your product or service, adjust according to what your market tells you, constantly knock on doors, stay alert to opportunity, manage well, and treat others the way you want to be treated. Are you on the verge of creating the next microchip? Apply for the federal Small Business Innovation & Research (SBIR) grant. Five California businesses recently received about $70,000+ each. Interested? Go to http://www.zyn.com/sbir/

Need an idea for a stellar business plan? Look at the Moot Corp website http://www.businessplans.org/businessplans.html and think about submitting your business plan to a 2011 competition. You will get exposure to investors whether or not you win.

Biz Idea for Kids By Sarah Cook

Web Design DynastyEvery company on the planet should have a website and if you know how

to design them, then you can strike it rich as a biz kid! It does take quite a bit of education either at a school or on the Internet going through tutorials but there is definitely a big market for web designers. You will need a computer as well as access to software such has Dreamweaver or FrontPage. If you design websites you can charge between $100s on up to $1000s !

It would be best to design your own site first as well as a couple of samples so that people can see your work and what you are capable of.

You can make money on the side of your design work by selling web-hosting, a domain purchasing service, as well as selling advertising on your site.

Legal Ease

Judicial Foreclosure In order for any lender to get a deficiency judgment against a borrower on a loan secured by a deed of trust, the lender has to file a “judicial foreclosure” proceeding in civil court. That means hiring an attorney and possibly having to wade through the probable year long duration of the civil suit. It also means having to process a sheriff’s sale of the property once a judgment is obtained and then holding a “prove up” hearing in court, supported by an appraisal, to determine the deficiency amount. In order for any of this process to make sense, the judgment also has to be collectable and not discharged in bankruptcy. And as if all that isn’t bad enough, the property is subject in the usual case to a year long “redemption period” during which the lender (now owner) of the property is unable to sell it. All in all, not an attractive course of action and usually a hollow threat from most lenders.

Successful Thinkers By Darren Bocksnick

The Battle Cry of Business

In the art of ancient warfare, the prelude to battle that often signaled its beginning was the war cry. Though on the surface a war or battle cry seemed little more than a loud shout; it carried a much deeper, more profound significance. To those warriors issuing the war cry, the action was as if the soul of the entire army was embodied within that shout. At the very sound of the cry, advancing warriors felt empowered by their leader’s call to move forth and conquer. The cry was their compass that led them forth toward victory. It also served as their inspiration to continue in the fight, even if the hope of victory seemed futile. To the opposing army, a well-delivered war cry could usher in fear and cause intimidation among the ranks. For soldiers on the receiving end of an enraged band of advancing warriors, the sound of the cry was in itself, a weapon. In this regard, the war cry produces such hysteria and psychological meltdown that many a battle has been won merely by the sound of the cry, even before the first sword is slung. As it is in the art of ancient warfare, so it is in life. Daily, we are surrounded by enemies. We have enemies of our time, enemies of our purpose and enemies of our priorities. In essence, we are constantly in a battle, whether we feel up to the fight or not. If we are to come out victors in this struggle for our survival, then we must fight back! Rather than swords and guns to turn the tides of battle, we need to learn the art of the battle cry! While we do not need to shout at everyone, we must encourage ourselves for the fight ahead with a bold and robust battle cry!

Spring Cleaning Brings Buried Treasures

With rain deterring me from my normal sunny spring diversions, I decided to engage in an annual event my mother instituted when we were kids: spring cleaning. Spring in Illinois is almost as cold and dreary as the winter months, as opposed to California, where the sun normally lures you away from your domestic duties.

This year I had no excuse. Plenty of rainy day opportunities to sift through boxes, cabinets, and under beds, looking for rambunctious dust bunnies, or in my case, dust elephants. It’s amazing the valuable treasures you can find hidden in your closet.

One such treasure was a wedge-shaped piece of bright yellow foam, with an indentation for a head. Yes, I own one of the infamous cheese hats worn by Green Bay Packer fans who evidently spend far too much time in sub zero weather. The first question is why would anyone send me a cheese hat? Question two. Why have I kept it for the past 12 years?

Then there’s the bird bath I found in a corner of the garage, three yellow cats holding up the bath, their Cheshire cat grins mocking my incredibly bad taste. Since I bought this oddity myself I have no excuse other than it must have been after too many margaritas at the Hacienda.

I discovered clothes which were never worn, their price tags screaming sizes I couldn’t possibly fit into again. Time to share the wealth with Goodwill and hope their new owners will enjoy them.

By the time my day was done I had four car loads of goodies to donate. I had also walked down memory lane and discovered a few precious mementos: the mint julep glass from the 1972 Kentucky Derby, the Santa mug my aunt hand painted, the child size rocking chair my daughter rocked in during her toddler years and the homemade heart crafted by my son in pre-school.

Spring cleaning not only provided a treasure trove for others, but it provided me with the opportunity to savor some of the most treasured moments of my life.

How to Solve Procrastination

I am a student of Time Management (or why would I have gotten into to Time Management Software business) and a big part of time management is solving procrastination. We all procrastinate - even those of us who pride ourselves on our time management skills. From my studies, I like these 7 proven ways to beat procrastination.

Do the worst thing first thing: This is known as swallowing the frog 1. first thing and the rest of the day looks good. It gets me through lots of “procrastination” issues.Break it down: Often there are small parts of the task that can be done. 2. Often the reason that we procrastinate is because the task ahead of us is too big. How do you walk 100 miles? One step at a time.Get help. I wasn’t actually referring to delegation (but of course that is 3. good too), I was referring to having someone help you start the task. Often it is the act of starting a task that is enough to get the task done.Do the pleasant part of the task: Often many distasteful and large jobs have 4. some parts to it that are not particular distasteful. Do them so at least you are moving forward on your most important items.20 minutes: Just spend 20 minutes on a task. I have the attitude that I can 5. spend 20 minutes doing anything. Often by spending the 20 minutes on a task is enough to get the momentum rolling to get it done.Track it: The simple act of tracking process on a goal is often enough to 6. keep the goal moving forward.Reward or punish: The reason we do something is because it is more 7. painful than not doing something, so if we can make a task more rewarding or more painful, then we tend to move forward faster.

Remember that even successful people occasionally procrastinate. And it is solvable. If you want to track how you spend your time, check out Chrometa’s time management software at www.chrometa.com

Green Energy

The Smart Grid The Electric Utility Grid is approximately a hundred years old. The grid is generally laid out so that a small number of power producing centers distributes energy to a large numbers of consumers. The electric grid was not primarily meant to incorporate small renewable energy sources such solar energy from residential rooftops, nor was it meant to integrate demand response or to integrate smart devices or smart electric cars into the grid. Today, however, with the Obama administration having provided one of the largest grants totaling $3.4 billion earlier this year for modernization of the US electric grid, we have an unprecedented opportunity to define, architect and build a Smart Grid. The overwhelming excitement today in the energy transmission and distribution sectors is the innovation that can result from the investment and modernization of the grid creating a fundamentally new cyber-infrastructure. Other industries such as the mobile phone industry, telecommunications industry, computer industry and the music industry, have gone through a considerable and often unexpected technological and consumer change in the last 25 years. Twenty five years from now, the Electrical Power grid is expected to look very different, and a key question that is being raised is what type of innovative evolution will it follow - the iPhone from the mobile industry, or, Google from the Internet, or, perhaps an entirely new model? Also, what other entirely new innovations will it create or will it absorb some of the innovations from emerging sectors such as ZIgbee or RF-sensors from the wireless industry? These are some of the questions that remain to be answered as we continue to look for cleaner and more efficient ways of producing and delivering energy, while at the same time work to reduce the amount of energy that is needed to live as productively as we have in the past.

History Repeats itself with Over Spending

In 1854, the state legislature had finally settled on Sacramento as the location for the state’s capitol. With the location set, the legislature decided to build a proper capitol building to house the state’s government.

A local architect named Reuben Clark drew the original plans for the building that were approved by the legislature. The plans contained space for all three branches of the state government: legislative, executive and judicial.

The legislature set aside $500,000 in 1860 to build the capitol. When it was finally finished in 1874, the final cost was about $2.45 million. That’s almost 4 times what was budgeted. I wouldn’t be able to get away with doing that in my household. Would you? In today’s dollars that would be more than 46 million dollars!

Has our legislature improved their ability to keep in budget?Send your thoughts to [email protected].

Huber Bill to Increase Government

Transparency Signed by Governor

SACRAMENTO – Legislation to increase government transparency by Assemblymember Alyson Huber has been signed by the Governor. The bipartisan bill, AB 1181, would require most state candidate committees, ballot measure committees and slate mail organizations to file a list of contributors online with the Secretary of State’s office.

“This bill will improve transparency by making it easier for the public to track how money is raised and spent,” said Huber. “We should be doing everything we can to make government as open as possible and this bill moves us in that direction.”

Existing law requires state candidates, committees and slate mailing organizations to file campaign statements and reports online if the cumulative amount of reportable contributions, expenditures and loans made or received is $50,000 or more. Similarly, state lobbying entities are only required to file reports online if the total amount of any category of reportable payments, expenses, contributions, gifts or other items is $5,000 or more in a calendar quarter.

While the exemption may have been logical when the online filing statutes were created in 1997, the availability of free electronic filing software makes this exemption no longer necessary for state lobbying entity documents and the vast majority of state campaign documents.

AB 1181 lowers the under $50,000 and under $5,000 exemptions to $25,000 and $2,500 for all state lobbying entity documents and most state campaign documents, requiring these documents to be filed online.

AB 1181 was sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of State.

This zoo is a unique facility in that it houses animals that are native to Northern California and cannot be released. This zoo is sometimes called the “Misfit Zoo”; The animals in the zoo were either injured, abandoned in the wild, or were pets that became too unruly for their owners. After being relocated, these animals were nursed back to health and acclimated to their new surroundings. Although other zoos may have larger and more exotic animals than the Folsom Zoo, none have animals with more personality.

Each animal has its own story, which visitors can learn on their self-guided tour, or on a guided tour that can be arranged for groups over 15.

Probably the most popular animals at the Folsom Zoo are the black bears, as well as the 2 new tigers. Wolves, foxes, coyotes, mountain lions, feral pigs, a variety of birds, and even tiny squirrel monkeys can be seen at the zoo. Although these are the types of animals you would expect to see on a farm, the Folsom Zoo also has a variety of more common animals such

as barbados sheep, pigmy goats, a badger, raccoons, squirrels, peacocks, and even chickens.

The Zoo has classes, activities, story-times, and a “ZooMobile”, which brings animals and teachers to schools as well as private events. Programs can be directed at different age groups and all stress the importance of responsible and appropriate behavior toward all animals.

The Folsom Zoo is part of the City Park on Natoma Street, next to the Community Center and City Hall.

Low-Carb CrepesIngredients:1 large egg beaten3 packets Splenda 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup whipping cream zest of 1 lemon 1/2 cup berries juice of 1 lemon

Step1: Heat an omelette pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Step 2: Meanwhile, whisk together egg, cinnamon and 1 packet of Splenda. You could also add ground cloves or nutmeg.Step 3: Either microwave or reduce your berries in a small saucepan with lemon juice and a packet of Splenda to form a sauce.Step 4: Combine your cream, lemon zest and Splenda. This will make more whipped cream than necessary (about enough for 4 crepes), but it is very hard to whisk 1/4 cup of cream.Step 5: Use a hand blender or whisk on the cream until it is thick and sticks to a spoon.Step 6: Add the egg mixture to the hot buttered pan and give the pan a quick swirl to coat with the egg. This will cook very quickly. As soon as the egg starts to set, run an edge of a spatula around the outside and flip over, cooking the other side. It will only take about 2 minutes total.Step 7: Transfer the “crepe” to a plate and fill with your berry sauce. Roll it up, top with whipped cream and more berries and enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Coconut BallsMy great grandma Vera used to

make coconut balls every year to give as Christmas gifts. To this day, our family continues that tradition. We’ve modified her recipe over the years by by adding toasted slivered almonds. The sweet flaked coconut combined with toasted nuts make these coconut balls what an Almond Joy bar has always hoped to become.

Ingredients:2 cups Almonds, chopped or ground 1 14-oz. bag Flaked coconut, sweetened 3 cups (3/4 pounds) Powdered sugar 1 14-oz. can Sweetened condensed milk 1/8 teaspoon Salt 1/2 cup (1 stick) Butter, unsalted If using salted butter, omit salt1 teaspoon Vanilla extract 3 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips or Melty’s 3 tablespoons Vegetable shortening, unflavored

Step1: In a large bowl, mix nuts, coconut, powdered sugar and salt.Step 2: Add melted butter, milk and vanilla. Mix well. Refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes.Step 3: Use a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon to form the mixture into balls. Step 4: Roll the balls between your hands to form the ball shape.Step 5: Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.Step 6: Mix chocolate and shortening in a metal or glass bowl. Melt chocolate by placing the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate is completely melted; then remove bowl from heat.Step 7: To chocolate coat the balls, drop 3-4 balls into the chocolate mixture at a time. Use two forks to fish out the coconut balls and allow the excess chocolate to drain off. A plastic fork with the middle two tines broken off works best for this step.Step 8: Place chocolate coated balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Place finished balls in the refrigerator until well chilled. Store at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, coconut balls can be frozen in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Fashion By Karri Grant

Designing Your StyleIn May 09 I moved into my new home. Now in a very different layout I spent several weeks

deciding where the furniture was going to go, what colors to paint the walls, what was necessary to keep and what needed to go. Having some handle on design, color and style, I felt I had done very well in making my house beautiful. Even though I liked what I had done and enjoyed how the house appeared some things were missing…but what were they? Just because I am an Image Stylist does not make me an interior designer, so recently I hired one.

Cara Crowley, Interior Designer, came to my house and discussed with me “how I wanted to feel when I came home..what styles/colors did I enjoy…how serious was I going to be about achieving my goals..etc”. We then proceeded to go from room to room taking note of these questions and she providing design answers. A bit to my surprise she tells me “I have a great sense of style and had done very well…I was missing key pieces to pull the look together”. BINGO…I was missing ACCESSORIES! Now we are speaking my language.

I learned a lot from hiring Cara, but mostly learned that your “house” is not a “home” without the proper “accessories”. Just as I teach my clients, your “clothes” are not a “wardrobe” without the proper “accessories”. Many times clients flip through magazines admiring the styles portrayed there, but feel that even if they mimicked it, it never appears the same way. Typically I find it is all about the “accessories” and learning how to pull a look together to take them from looking GOOD to looking FABULOUS.

Now my “house” is a ‘home” thanks to hiring an expert and get a new perspective. I am sure many readers feel the same way about their “clothes” and their “wardrobe”, so hire an expert (I think I know one..haha) and get a new perspective.

Remember, Looking Fabulous Is Never By Accident!

Visit Folsom Prison Museum

All the granite walls of the Folsom Prison were built using the rock excavated during the construction of the Folsom Dam. The California Legislature authorized the construction of Folsom

State Prison in 1858. Twenty years later, in 1878, construction began on one of the nations first maximum-security prisons. On July 26, 1880, Folsom received its first 44 inmates. The inmates were transferred by boat from San Quentin

State Prison to Sacramento and then by train from Sacramento to the prison. Folsom State Prison’s location was selected due to an unlimited amount of native granite stone for building the prison. Also, the American River offered ample water and formed a natural boundary. Inmate laborers built the first dam and canal on the American River, which led to the first hydroelectric power generation for the Sacramento area. Prior to the completion of the granite wall in the 1920’s, the prison witnessed numerous escape attempts; the first one occurring shortly after the first inmates arrived in 1880. Throughout Folsom’s violent and bloody history, numerous riots and escape attempts have resulted in both inmate and staff deaths. The Folsom Museum is located near the entrance of Folsom Prison. Run solely through the support of volunteers, the museum contains an abundance of documents and artifacts from throughout Folsom’s long and colorful history. The Folsom Prison Museum is packed full of interesting artifacts from

the prison. The museum is located just outside the main gate of the prison.

Take Hwy 50 east to Folsom •Blvd exit; turn left on Folsom Blvd Continue 2.7 miles past three •traffic lights until you see Natoma Street Turn right on Natoma Street •Follow Natoma Street for •approximately 1.5 miles through numerous stop signs and traffic lights (note: watch for the Police Station on your left) Pass the Police Station and •make a left turn at the next light.

On April 22, 2010, 10 businesses and individuals were honored with the Community Services Planning Council’s People Helping People Awards. The Awards recognize excellence in community service

and were presented before an audience of 500 business and community leaders at the 22nd

Annual People Helping People Awards Luncheon.

The People Helping People Awards have been presented by

the Community Services Planning Council (CSPC) since 1989. The awards honor businesses, civic

organizations and individuals for

exceptional community service. The awards luncheon is held annually

during National Volunteer Week and serves to promote volunteerism and service in the Sacramento Region.

Proceeds from the awards luncheon support two CSPC programs: Hands

On Sacramento, a program that inspires and empowers people to

change lives and the community through meaningful volunteer action,

and 2-1-1 Sacramento, a free, confidential 24/7 information and

referral service, helping people every day of the year find the resources and services they need for themselves and

their families.


Techy AdviceTop 10 Privacy Tweaks You Should Know

AboutWith all the talk lately about Facebook’s flawed privacy systems, it’s a good time

to consider what you’re making available elsewhere on the web and on your system. These 10 settings tweaks and setups make your web life a little less public.

The most basic means of boosting your privacy in any computer system is encrypting your data, but that’s more of a system setup than a slight change to your usual setup. Still, it’s worth looking into if you’ve got files for your eyes only.

10. Run a Background Check on Yourself to Know What’s Out There

It takes only a few seconds to know what Google knows about you, but there are many, many other avenues into your past and present on the web. Want to know more about what a potential employer can know? Consumer action blog Consumerist has a nicely comprehensive list of background check tools to try out. You shouldn’t try and run them all, but at least get a feel for what can be known about you with just a few clicks.

9. Skip Incognito/Private Browsing and Really Leave No TracePrivate browsing modes might prevent your coworkers or roommates from

seeing where you wander on the web, but you still leave plenty of traces for someone who knows where to look. Take the How-To Geek’s advice and really browse without leaving a trace. Wipe away Flash cookies, clean out DNS caches, and automate your system so every boot-up is a fresh start.

8. Pick Better Security QuestionsSome security questions and password recovery schemes offered by webapps

are so bad, anyone with your casual acquaintance and a small amount of Google savvy could poke into your email whenever they felt like it. To get around weak security questions, use blogger danah boyd’s security question algorithm. Instead of straight-up providing your mother’s maiden name, use a scheme, such as “[Snarky Bad Attitude Phrase] + [Core Noun Phrase] + [Unique Word],” so that your answer becomes “StupidQuestion MiddleName Booyah,” substituting “MiddleName” for the actual answer. If you’re lucky enough to be able to choose your own security questions, Lifehacker reader James has written about the best kinds of questions at his blog.

7. Set Up BitTorrent for Private Downloading

BitTorrent is a public commons of file sharing, and that means that all kinds of folks interested in, say, what your home IP address is, and what you’re downloading, can dig into it. With both a proxy and settings in your favorite torrent app, you can protect your privacy when downloading. Nothing’s foolproof, but a few checkboxes and a different downloading path can do a lot to give you great peace of mind.

6. Know Your Google Settings If you’re anything like us, or most of our readers, you’ve got a lot of your life

floating around in Google’s cloud-based apps. It pays, then, to know how to set what Google shares publicly about you, how much of your search history is being saved, and how to back up your data so you’ve always got your own copy. These are among the 10 Google settings you should know about that center on privacy and data retention, though it’s always a good idea to know the parameters of the spaces you share your data in.

5. Know How to Travel Without Being Spied OnJust because some countries have widespread net access doesn’t mean it’s an

open and private web. It’s often meant to deter dissidents in strong-handed regimes, but why take the chance of letting your web data fall into the wrong hands? One reader, wishing to remain anonymous and in a non-specific region, crafted a survival guide for traveling where privacy isn’t respected. Using secure Gmail, carrying two cloned USB sticks, relying on KeePass and TrueCrypt for passwords and encryption, and knowing how to send data over the web without having it looked at are all good skills to have, both for traveling and in general.

4. Know Where You Stand With Facebook at a GlanceFacebook has promised “simplistic” privacy settings coming soon, but in the

meantime, knowing exactly what you’ve offered to share or keep private is far from transparent. One very crafty hacker at ReclaimPrivacy has put together a settings-scanning bookmarklet that shows what you’re sharing beyond your social circle, and offers links and automatic fixes for those settings. Another coder, Ka-Ping Yee, offers a site that shows what the public web can see on Facebook, some of which you can then remove. They’re both excellent eye-openers, both for your own account and for friends who refuse to consider what’s being shown out there.

3. Run Your Browser Through a ProxyIt’s not something you’ll want to do all the time, but once in a while, you might

want to hide your online tracks. To do so, you can use the go-to web randomization tool, TOR, which has tools available for nearly every OS and browser. For a DIY solution that can work from any browser, we’ve detailed installing the free PHProxy tool on your home computer or hosted web space to get around restrictions and slightly disguise your tracks. You could also run a proxy through Google’s App Engine, and go the full-tilt geek route of encrypting your browsing with an SSH SOCKS proxy. Any way you choose, it’s a smart skill to have handy for dodgy connections and restrictive networks.

2. Better Protect Your Mint.com or Other Financial Accounts

The thing that makes Mint.com such a convenient one-stop shop for financial data and budgeting also makes it a gold mine for anyone looking to learn more about you, or know which accounts they could try to jump into. Security professional Jason Owens provides some smart tips on better protecting your Mint.com account that can apply to any site where you manage your financials. Key among them—don’t use your regular email address. Set up a new email address you don’t tell anyone about as your login/password verification address. You can forward its mail to your main email, sure, but if someone compromises your email, don’t make it too too easy for them to get a hold on your finances.

1. Stay Available on Facebook Without Really Being In It You might have considered quitting Facebook, but stopped short because it’s how a few far-flung friends and relatives stay in touch, or a place those without your email address can ping you. We can understand, and, luckily, have a halfway solution to recommend. Quit Facebook without really quitting. Create a new account, linked to a different email, and set it up so that your old friends are still there, but Facebook, even at its most Draconian, can’t really reveal all that much about you, and your friends can’t really overshare without your permission. What steps have you taken recently to bolster your own web or desktop privacy? What would you like to fix, but need some pointers on doing so?
