Moors Murderer Ian Brady dies

The true personification of evil has died this evening and I hope the only thing he finds is eternal damnation in Hell. It is a pity all the bodies were never found, the families were never allowed to get some closure. Moors Murderer Ian Brady dies

Vimy Ridge - 100th Anniversary

Let us take a moment to remember the scarifice of the those brave Canadian soldiers who gave their lives to the cause of freedom during the Battle of Vimy Ridge (9 Apr 1917 – 12 Apr 1917). Also "the battle,......, is commonly highlighted as a turning point in Canadian history, where the four Canadian divisions fought together as a unified fighting force for the first time. While 3,598 Canadian soldiers were killed during the battle, the impressive victory over German forces is often cited as the beginning of Canada’s evolution from dominion to independent nation" http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/first-world-war/vimy-ridge/100-anniversary

Some other WCQ action this weekend: Mexico v Costa Rica Ireland v Wales Spain v Israel Belgium v Greece England v Lithuania Scotland v Slovenia Who else is excited for some footy this weekend?!

Recipe: Corned Beef Grilled Cheese

I don’t know about you folks, but I’m pleased to say I kind of outdid myself this past St. Patrick’s Day. Of course, I made Irish Soda Bread, as well as colcannon and corned beef and cabbage. I even brined the brisket myself for about 60 hours before throwing it in the slow cooker. Saturday morning, I was delighted to find my fridge overflowing with leftovers, so I used some to make corned beef potato pancakes for brunch. Now, because my eyes were significantly bigger than my Tupperware when I went to the grocery store, I ended up making enough corned beef and colcannon for an army. The question is, “… now what?” While I could just reheat leftovers every day for the week, I prefer to switch things up a little. Here goes. Photo and recipe inspiration from Closet Cooking Corned Beef Grilled Cheese with Guinness Caramelized Onions Yield: 1 serving Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Ingredients: 1 tablespoon oil 1 medium onion, sliced 1 cup Guinness 1 teaspoon Worcester

Question: Why, if I am protected, is my Secure Anywhere console orange with a ! ??

I scanned my computer last night, and the console was green, and fine. Why, 20 minutes ago, did it turn orange with no indication of what it meant? I have been through all of the tabs, the little blurb underneath the "Scan Now" only says a helpful hint of incase I need help.... etc. WHY IS MY SCREEN ORANGE? thank you. I know I am getting close to renewal but, there is no mention of that on the console. Please help. If I am protected, what is going on? Also, if I renew now, I don't want the heart attack a month and a half from now. I want the transaction complete.

Tell Us About Yourself

I thought it might be a good idea if we let others in this community know a little bit about ourselves: our work, our passions, our family, etc. Here’s the opportunity. I’ll start the ball rolling. I grew up on Long Island and attended the University of Vermont and the George Washington University Law School. I graduated law school in 1967. After that, I spent two years on active duty in the U.S. Army, the first year at the Presidio of San Francisco as an armed forces courier, and the second year in Vietnam as a company commander. When I finished my military tour, I returned to New York and started a law practice in Manhattan as a commercial litigator. I spent about thirty-five years in that field. I was actively practicing in the 70s when computers and word processing began. I remember buying a Syntrex Word Processing System in the 70s for my practice, and it proved invaluable. We used floppy disks. I remember how impressed I was, at that time, that a floppy disk could hold 360 kb of

Jurassic Park 4 to be directed by Colin Trevorrow

The long awaited Jurassic Park 4 will be directed by little-known director Colin Trevorrow, Universal Pictures has said. Trevorrow, 36, made his feature film directorial debut in 2012 with the time travel comedy, Safety Not Guaranteed. Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two instalments of the lucrative $1.9bn (£1.26bn) dinosaur franchise, will executive produce the fourth film. The movie - which will be made in 3D - is due for release in June 2014. Spielberg announced in 2011 that Jurassic Park 4 was in development, much to the delight of fans who will have waited 13 years when the fourth film hits the big screen. Universal has given no other details regarding its cast or plot, however it will be written by Rise of the Planet of the Apes screenwriters Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. Jurassic Park and The Lost World Jurassic Park took $914.7m (£604.7m) and $618.6m (£409m) when they were released in 1993 and 1997 respectively. Jurassic Park III, helmed by Captain America director Joe

Recipe: Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread

You guessed it, folks: our March recipe is St. Patrick’s Day themed! But, rather than doing my usual twist on a traditional recipe, I’m going to just let a classic do its stuff. This recipe was recommended to me by a breadmaker of the highest caliber, and I must admit that even I, amateurish as I am at baked goods, managed a pretty perfect loaf of soda bread on my first try. My great grandmother would be proud! Photo and recipe inspiration from Recipe Girl Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread Yield: 2 small round loaves Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Ingredients – Soda Bread: ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats 1 tsp packed brown sugar 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 ¾ cups buttermilk ½ cup dried currants 1 egg white, beaten Ingredients – Honey Butter (optional): ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 tbsp honey 1 or 2 shakes of ground cinnamon The Nitty Gritty Preheat the oven to 375° F

Story Behind Your Members Name

I see many different Members Names here on the Webroot Forum. Some are obvious like some of the Webroot Employees go by there name and some don't. With all the different names here on the forum I think it would be nice to know the story on how you picked your name. When I first started on Forums (not many) I went by the name of "Popeye". I picked that because I was serving my time in the Navy. I then changed that name to "ProTruckDriver" ~ I spent a little over 16 years on the road as a Professional Truck Driver. I go by "ProTruckDriver" on all Forums with the exception of the Malwarebytes Forum, still "Popeye" on there almost 8 years. Well, that's how I got "ProTruckDriver". What's behind your name?

Recipe: Thai Red Curry Salmon Noodle Bowl

Here we are again, dear readers, embarking on another new year. It’s a typical Colorado January for us Webrooters, which means it could be anywhere from a snowy 10° to a sunny 60° tomorrow. Particularly as at least half the office don’t believe in keeping their colds to themselves, it can be a taxing time of the year for one’s immune system. To keep mine in top working order through all climatic ups and downs, I’m a big fan of hearty soups and stews full of antioxidants and immune boosters. Here’s one of my new favorites. Photo and recipe inspiration from Thrive Market Thai Red Curry Salmon Noodle Bowl Yield: 4 servings Prep Time: 10 minutes Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes Ingredients 1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil Options: canola, avocado, refined coconut oil, etc. 1 package thin noodles, rinsed and drained Options: Asian vermicelli, egg noodles, zucchini noodles, kelp noodles, shirataki, etc. Thai basil leaves, chopped cilantro, and sliced limes for garish Note: Th
