Appendix A: Security Considerations about Authentication Solutions and Malware
Actually Banking Malware families can bypass the vast majority of the world most secure authentication. How? The answer is simple: by tailoring an appropriate attack on the specific authentication schema with a bit of social engineering. Malware Authors know that the weakest link most of the times is the user himself.

TextField Static Password
Risk Evaluation:
Vulnerable to vast majority of all Banking Malware families in their default configuration
A password is a secret word or string of characters that is used for authentication, and is the world most used and simplest way of authenticating a user to a computer. "Static" means that Password does not change over time, unless manually updated. Textbox input field is the HTML element were password is inserted and this element is compatible with HID (Human Input Devices) such as hardware keyboards and Virtual Keyboards.
How gets defeated
Almost All banking malware can automatically log passwords using two components: Keylogging and Form Grabbing. A software Keylogger component can use a number of very different techniques, because operative systems offer many different ways to know which key is pressing a user. Even if this component seems very powerful, it has the disadvantage of not logging the Clipboard. Users may copy and paste passwords for simplicity or security reasons: many password wallets suggest to use this approach (e.g. KeePassX ). For this reason Banking Malware Authors prefer to log web based credentials using form grabbing components instead of keyloggers: from Wikipedia "this method intercepts the on submit API in browsers and collects web form data before it passes over the internet.". Since FormGrabbing is actually used by any major Banking Malware Family (e.g. Zeus, Spyeye, IceIX etc.) "text field" static password does not represent a secure way of authentication. In addition Malware families can automatically log any password field without using any particular configuration.

Javascript Keyboard
Risk Evaluation:
Vulnerable to vast majority of all Banking Malware families with a minimal configuration of the malicious agent
Javascript Keyboard was introduced more than a decade ago in response to Keylogging and Form Grabbing techniques used by Trojan Stealers. Javascript Keyboard works by creating a virtual keyboard on the screen with a dynamic layout; the random disposition of the keys represent a sort of "turing test" that could be understood by human users but not by malicious software agents.
How gets defeated
Back in year 2002, after a couple of years, Malware Authors realized that they could visually grab images of the clicked key pressed (click area grabbing) or to video record the sequence of key pressed. "Click Grabbing" feature was born and with a minimal configuration was possible to defeat javascript password in a standard and efficient way. This kind of attack simply stores the information remotely for a subsequent interpretation by a human attacker.

Appendix B: Banking Malware Families (Active in 2012)
SpyEye is considered the successor of ZeuS and globally considered as the most advanced Banking Malware kit actually used.
This kit was conceived as botnet easy to manage via a web based control panel.
SpyEye relies upon MiTB ( Man in The Browser ) attacks to accomplish its task, it provides a custom Encrypted Configuration File where there are:
- Plugins
- Web Injection Code
- Collectors List- where stolen data is sent
SpyEye is capable of HTML code injection in the following browsers:
- FireFox
- Internet Explorer
- Chrome
- Opera
List of commonly used Plugins:
- ccgrabber - used to collect Credit Card numbers by analyzing POST requests.
- ffcertgrabber - used to steal Firefox stored Certificates.
- ftpbc - used to reverse ftp connections to the bot.
- socks5 - allows reverse connections via a proxy server.
- billinghammer - charges Credit Cards by using stolen card data.
- ddos - plugin used to ddos a specified target.
- bugreport - send crash reports to the bot master.
- SpySpread - capability to spread via USB, IM Messages
- rdp - Remote Desktop capability
SpyEye kit, actually reached version 1.3.48
In the second half of 2011 appeared a mobile edition of SpyEye, called SpitMo specifically designed to steal mTAN (mobile TAN) authentication systems. SpitMo
Recently (Jenuary 2012) appeared a SpyEye Campaign able to Hide its Fraud Footprint also called Post-Transaction Attack

- SpyEye 1.3.4.x Comes with Noteworthy Modifications (Part 1)
- SpyEye 1.3.4.x Comes with Noteworthy Modifications (Part 2)
ZeuS is a Banking Trojan identified for the first time in 2007, designed as HTTP Based Botnet specifically crafted to steal Online Banking Credentials.
Despite the fact that ZeuS Kit is no longer developed, infection statistics that can be checked here ZeuS Statistics clearly demonstrates that this trojan has a remarkable diffusion.
The ZeuS Kit functionality is based on MiTB attacks, an encrypted configuration file contains URL Triggers and HTML Code to be Injected.
In the past year appeared also a ZeuS for mobile called ZitMo, developed to bypass mTAN authentication system, more information can be reached here:
- The ZitMo Trojan Bypasses Online Banking Security
- Zitmo Trojan for Android defeats two-factor authentication
2011 was also the year of ZeuS Source Code leak, this essentially lead to a number of new ZeuS Variants, here the most significative:
- ZeuS P2P Edition
The most interesting variant is the P2P one, where ZeuS gained P2P Botnet and DGA (Domain Generation Algorithm) capabilities, that make ZeuS able to interact with other victims (nodes) and get Updated Binaries and Configurations.
ZeuS P2P References:

- ZeuS Banking Trojan Report
- Abstract Memory Analysis: Zeus Encryption Keys
After ZeuS and SpyEye the third advanced Malware Banking Trojan is Carberp, that during its evolution reached a great level of complexity, by mixing good bypassing and stealth countermeasures with ability to steal via Browser Code Injection online Banking Credentials.
Synthesis of Carberp Functionalities [1]:
- Ability to run as non-administrator
- Ability to infect Windows XP , Windows Vista and Windows 7
- Will not make any changes to the registry (only in memory modifications)
- Browser Hooking
- Stolen data is transmitted in real-time to C&C server
- Kill AntiVirus Software
- Screenshot Ability
- Form Grabber
- Backconnect
Carberp makes use of encrypted Configuration Files that contains plugins and web injection code
- miniav.psd - Kill Competitors Botnets (SpyEye. ZeuS)
- vnc.psd - Remote VNC Session Capability
- passw.psd - password grabber for FTP, VNC, E-Mail Clients, Stored Browser Passwords

- Carberp + BlackHole growing fraud incidents
- Bootkit Evolution of Win32Carberp: going deeper
- Decrypting Carberp C&C communication
Tatanga appeared in the first half of 2011 as MiTB based trojan designed to steal Online Banking Credentials and spoof (Post Transaction Attack) the real balance of the victim.
Like previously seen trojans, also Tatanga makes use of Encrypted Configuration Files (3-DES) to store plugins and web injection code.
Additionally Tatanga is able to:
- Grab E-Mail addresses
- Remove Competitors Botnets
- File Infector to increase malware spread
- Kill Antivirus Software

New Jersey Transit is conducting an online customer survey between now and May 26th regarding ridership satisfaction, titled "4th Quarter FY 2014 Scorecard Survey". According to the Raritan Valley Railway Coalition (RVRC), this gives commuter along the Raritan Valley Line (RVL) – of which Roselle Park is a stop – to fill out the survey in order to give input on the need for a 'One Seat Ride' from Roselle Park to New York Penn Station.
The 'One Seat Ride', which started off-peak weekday hours on March 3rd of this year, allows for RVL commuters to ride the same train from Roselle Park to Manhattan without having to switch trains at Newark. The purchase of hybrid dual engine diesel-electric locomotives by NJ Transit allows for RVL trains, which use diesel power, to switch over in order to travel through the Hudson River tunnels that only allow for electric-powered engines.
The next proposed step is to have One Seat Ride RVL trains start during off-peak evening hours during weekdays starting in November of this year, according to NJ Transit. The ultimate goal for RVRC is to have One Seat Ride for all trains, including weekends and weekday peak hours.
The survey, which starts with question 17 and skips numbers, asks for input as to travel times, travel frequency, and satisfaction of current performance. It can be filled out by visiting the survey web site (link).

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, where those transgender people who have passed on, whether due to violence, discrimination or suicide are remembered and honored.
Last week was also Transgender Awareness Week, organized by Fenway Health in Massachusetts.
I've been working for weeks now on a long article about the transgender community, so I've been knee deep in interviews and research about transgender people in the United States.
It's depressing, to say the least. Experiences of discrimination are frighteningly widespread. Health disparities abound. Violence is a common fact of life.
But there is also much resilience, much hope, much strength in the transgender community. There is much knowledge that the arc of history bends towards justice, and that the transgender struggle lives in all of us who understand how ideas of gender limit all of us.
I wrote about discrimination and transgender health disparities last week at RH Reality Check, which you can read here. The discrimination that transgender people face impacts their health in serious ways, and when race is factored in, the disparities are even greater.
But on this day of solemnity and remembrance, let us also remember perseverance and strength. For every person who has passed on, there are many more who are thriving and surviving.

'Tag' fights cancer, shares hope
On Saturday, May 18, the Tag Time Trial will remember Philo "Tag" Budlong and raise funds to fight cancer with the LiveSTRONG Foundation.
In the several Trials in recent years, hundreds of people have participated in the spring and fall bike rides.
The Kinross event honors DeTour native "Tag" — a World War II POW and cycling enthusiast that lost his battle with cancer.
Riders will donate $15 ($20 includes a TTT T-shirt) for the privilege of riding in Tag's memory and all the funds collected will be given to LiveSTRONG.
Dave Bourgeault, of Pro Sports, invented the "Tag" Time Trial, that's open to all bike riders. The 12.7-mile road course starts on South Kinross Lake Road, heads into Rudyard, brings Mackinac Trail back to M-80 and ends back on South Kinross Lake Road. Each participant rides against the clock and not against other bikers.
The Great Lakes Electric parking lot on S. Kinross Lake Road will be the staging area for the event. Riders will begin in a yellow and black starting ramp.
The "Tag" Time Trial begins at 9 a.m. Riders will leave the starting ramp one minute apart as each person races against the clock. Riders' time will be recorded and medals will be awarded to the top three riders in each category.
The Individual Time Trial riders will race first against the clock. Cyclists can also join a 3-Rider Team Time Trial, where riders work together to see how fast they can cover the course.
Every rider will receive a "Tag" Time Trial certificate and several items from event sponsors.
To register for the ride, contact Pro Sports in the Sault at 906-632-8161 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Anyone can sponsor a rider by sending a $15 check to: Pro Sports – LSF, 2621 Ashmun St., Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. Please, write the check to "Pro Sports" and put "LSF" (LiveStrong Foundation) in the memo line.
All riders are invited to participate in this fund raising event. Non-riders are encouraged to volunteer as "Tag" Time Trial staff to support the riders. Roadside Tag signs will direct the riders around the course. Volunteers will man various corners of the route to protect riders from oncoming traffic and to encourage all the cyclists.

Top 25 New Places to Stay, Eat and Play: 2012
Central Iowa: High Trestle Trail
If Iowa tallied how many pictures visitors took of a single attraction last year, this bridge would surely win. Opened last spring, the 25-mile paved trail between Ankeny and Woodward stars a beautifully lit 13-story-tall trestle bridge over the Des Moines River. Artist David B. Dahlquist, inspired by Iowa's coal-mining history, created the bridge's giant square arches of steel that glow blue at night (515/795-3930; hightrestletrail.info).
Click through the next slides to see more of our picks for the Midwest's top new attractions, restaurants and lodgings -- places to find outdoorsy fun, engaging history, cultural kicks, unique eats, exceptional stays and more.

Mackinaw City, Michigan: Headlands International Dark Sky Park
An unbelievable blanket of twinkly stars draws visitors to a 600-acre county park alongside Lake Michigan that, last year, became the world's ninth International Dark Sky Park.
Years without development kept the sky free of light pollution; now, it feels like an outdoor planetarium. At free programs alongside a bonfire, you'll hear cool tales likely to leave you wondering just what those ancient Greeks were drinking (231/348-1704; emmetcounty.org/darkskypark/).

Jefferson City: Missouri State Penitentiary Ghost Tours
We certainly can't call a prison that opened in 1836 new, but the ghost tours that started here last year have pushed the interest in this creepy complex to a stratospheric level.
In November, the SyFy channel's Ghost Hunters aired its paranormal trek through what was once was the world's largest prison, luring even more curious travelers eager to hear former wardens share their horror stories. Admission charged (866/998-6998; missouripentours.com).

Fishers, Indiana: Conner Prairie's 1863 Civil War Journey: Raid on Indiana
When visitors cross a classic covered bridge, they leave behind a world of instant info delivered via Wi-Fi and realize how desperate Hoosiers were for news during the Civil War. This new experience at the living-history park just north of Indianapolis seamlessly blends traditional storytelling techniques (costumed townspeople in character) and new ideas (video screens where doors and windows should be) to share how people responded when Confederates raided their homes and businesses in July 1863. Admission charged (800/966-1836; connerprairie.org).
- Photo Courtesy of Indianapolis Museum of Art
Columbus, Indiana: Miller House and Garden
Ever wondered where the conversation pit got its start? You'll find out at this modernist home that opened for public tours last year.
Known for its amazing architecture, Columbus offers another must-see gem with this one-story marble and glass showplace built in the 1950s (the first house to be named a National Historic Landmark while its original owners still lived there). The highlights: the groundbreaking conversation pit, the tulip chairs surrounding the white marble dining table, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grounds and the Flat Rock River. Admission charged (800/468-6564; columbus.in.us).
Chicago: Block 37
It's taken 140 years and seen many manifestations, but this development at State and Randolph in the Loop finally seems ready to complement the shopping along State Street.
Higher-end boutiques and chain stores mix with locally owned shops and quick-serve restaurants. Magnolia Bakery opened in the fall, and a bigger restaurant should arrive later this year. Curious about the district's name? Long-ago city planners called this area Block 37. We love the tribute to Chicago's roots (312/261-4738; block37.com).

Kansas City, Missouri: Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts
We knew when we heard the lineup for the grand-opening performances that this new $413 million home to the Kansas City Symphony, the Kansas City Ballet and the Lyric Opera of Kansas City would be a national destination. Diana Krall? Itzhak Perlman? Placido Domingo? They were there, wowing audiences inside a downtown building that reminds some of Australia's famed Sydney Opera House.
More than 50,000 Kansas Citians turned out for the free open house of the two theaters (one seats 1,600; the second seats 1,800) and a peek inside the limestone lobby, where soaring windows overlook Union Station and the city's skyline. Yo-Yo Ma will take the stage for three performances in January, and the Broadway show Million Dollar Quartet (about a 1956 recording session with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins) launches a six-day run in March (816/994-7222; kauffmancenter.org).

Minneapolis: The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts
The grand opening last fall drew the best-dressed, most multicultural crowd we've ever seen in the Twin Cities, and that's sayin' something in a city known for its depth and breadth of theaters.
The 500-seat venue connects the bones of the transplanted Shubert Theater with the 1888 Hennepin Center for the Arts, creating an intimate space celebrating both old and new. And the dancing? The opener's original mix of Native American, modern and ballet left us craving more (612/206-3636; thecowlescenter.org).

Omaha: TD Ameritrade Park
In 2011, the NCAA Men's College World Series left its home at Rosenblatt Stadium. We miss the small-town feel of that historic park by the Henry Doorly Zoo, but we must admit, the event's new 24,000-seat $131 million brick home next to the CenturyLink Center is pretty sweet.
The giant scoreboard screens invite passersby to take a peek at the action, and nearby bars and restaurants bolster the stadium's celebratory atmosphere. The seats offer a panoramic view of both the diamond and downtown -- not to mention plenty of legroom (402/546-1800; tdameritradeparkomaha.com).

Kansas City, Kansas: Livestrong Sporting Park
Whether you follow professional soccer or just want to take in a concert, this $200 million stadium in the Legends shopping, dining and entertainment area is worth a stop.
The venue says good-bye to steep staircases and cramped aisles and hello to arching canopies over every seating section. The largest high-def video board in the world (25x84 feet) shows a close-up view of what's happening on the field. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. There's even a bright yellow chair in the stands, and at each game, someone affected by cancer gets to sit in that seat of honor.
A venue that's comfortable and charitable? Definitely worth a visit (913/912-7525; livestrongsportingpark.com).

Ironton, Minnesota: Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area
Last year, this mini Boundary Waters in the Brainerd Lakes region opened its long-promised mountain bike trails, all 25 miles of them, wearing names like Little Sidewinder, Easy Street, Roly Poly and Bob Sled. In Crosby, you can rent bikes at Cycle Path and Paddle then catch the paved Cuyuna Lakes State Trail and join the fairly easy mountain biking Boot Camp trail for an 8-mile round-trip (218/546-5926; dnr.state.mn.us).

Manhattan, Kansas: Flint Hills Discovery Center
Just one hour inside this $24.5 million attraction will make you want to spend many more among the Midwest's native tallgrass prairie. A 67-foot-wide movie screen immerses visitors in the region's thunderstorms and bucolic landscapes, and a simulated prairie fire sprawls across the curved interior space while volunteers lead hands-on activities. Admission charged (785/587-2726; flinthillsdiscovery.org).
- Photo Courtesy of Kings Island
Kings Island, Mason, Ohio: Dinosaurs Alive!
Short of a time machine, this new animatronic area at the famed amusement park north of Cincinnati is the closest you'll get to seeing these amazing creatures.
A walking path winds past dozens of dinos that are tucked into the woods, creeping out of creek beds and growling when visitors trip off nearby sensors. They may look a little rubbery to adults, but to kids, the dinosaurs all seem thrillingly real. Separate admission charged, but it's worth it (513/754-5700; visitkingsisland.com).

For adults, a Saturday afternoon spent changing tires and working an ice cream shop would be a drag, but the kids visiting this new hands-on playland can't get enough of the dozens of learning-disguised-as-fun chores here.
The Our Place on the Prairie exhibit offers a uniquely Midwestern experience, letting kids play in a sod house, stand in a tepee and harvest potatoes from a realistic farmstead. And after a little while, the adults who brought their little ones end up finding the same kind of joy in these simple moments. Admission charged (605/692-6700; prairieplay.org).
Davenport, Iowa: Hotel Blackhawk
A symbol of elegance during the Roaring '20s, this Mississippi Riverfront boutique hotel reopened in December 2010 after a massive renovation that added a touch of both the classic and the contemporary.
A fire pit, cobblestone driveway, doormen and piano player welcome guests to the 11-story downtown property, where luxurious touches (including pillow-top mattresses, glass-walled showers and TVs in the bathroom mirrors) compete with the best hotels in the region. From $149 (563/322-5000; hotelblackhawk.com).
Omaha: Hotel Deco XV
We've longed for a high-end hotel in downtown Omaha, and now we have one. The 89 rooms in this restored 1930s building blend Art Deco elements with sleek neoclassical touches in a silver, black and white palette.
Located across from the Orpheum Theater, Hotel Deco XV has a retro-hip vibe—you can easily imagine Tony Bennett having a postshow cocktail in the Encore lobby lounge. Valet parking, Wi-Fi and an overnight shoe shine are complimentary. The mattresses are comfy, the bathrooms have eight-spray European shower panels, and the Zin Room restaurant serves beautifully plated comfort food. Bring on the pampering! From $200 (866/475-3326; hoteldecoomaha.com).

Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin: The Dinner Table
Affordable fine dining and daily menu changes draw diners to this North Woods spot with leather furniture and high ceilings. The chef offers three or four entrees a night, such as a watermelon-barbecue pork chop with sauteed zucchini. Whatever you order, save room for dessert: Key lime pie surrounded by blueberries or bananas Foster served with fiery tableside flair (715/543-8909; thedinnertablerestaurant.com).
Omaha: The Grey Plume
You know the food is fresh when a restaurant doesn't own a walk-in fridge. This green eatery, led by a young James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist, offers an ever-evolving organic menu with ingredients from Iowa and Nebraska farms (and herbs grown on-site).
A floor of recycled barn wood and tabletops made of reclaimed hickory lend warmth to this contemporary Midtown Crossing spot, where the Nebraska bison burger oozes with juicy flavor and artful presentation (402/763-4447; thegreyplume.com).
Columbus, Ohio: Rivage Atlantique
Suburban Worthington isn't the first place we'd look for Atlantic seaboard dining. But that's what we found in an upscale strip mall. Entrees include shrimp and grits and cedar-planked salmon stuffed with lobster, basil and Brie. The sauces are rich with butter; balance your entree with a light starter, and you'll have an enjoyable dinner visit to the coast (614/505-7779; rivageatlantique.com).

Chicago: Bistronomic
It feels like the best of two worlds: a Cheers bar atmosphere with impeccably prepared French food. Chef Martial Noguier, previously at lofty Cafe des Architectes, chats with customers in his little Gold Coast dining room as if he's known them for years. The gourmet grilled cheese, country pate, Amish chicken and filet of beef au poivre satisfy American palates without losing authenticity. Salut! (312/944-8400; bistronomic.net).
Mandan, North Dakota: Harvest
Carnivores head to this churrasco-style restaurant for perfectly seasoned meat delivered on huge skewers. The Parmesan pork alone is worth the trip, but also try the Brazilian rice and beans. Sangria adds a fruity flourish to this all-you-can-eat extravaganza. Our dinner for two cost nearly $100 with tip. Spendy for North Dakota? Yes. Good for a special occasion? Absolutely (701/751-4393; harvestbraziliangrill.com).
Minneapolis: In Season
The name of the restaurant hints at the menu, and we were delighted to find this kind of curated fine dining on a block shared with a greasy Chinese place and gas station. Our expertly served meal -- lime-tinged couscous salad with chickpeas and fava beans, wild salmon wrapped in smoky speck ham, and seared foie gras with strawberry bread pudding and local honey -- was a pleasing bouquet of late-spring flavors (612/926-0105; inseasonrestaurant.com).
Grand Rapids, Michigan: Brewery Vivant
The mix seems a little bizarre: an American craft brewer specializing in Belgian beers operating in the chapel of a former funeral home that has become a certified-green dining room. But it all works, and the pub's exposed ceiling timbers, stained-glass windows and Gothic-style arches enhance the Belgian feel.
As for the brews, Farm Hand is a rustic, unfiltered beer, while Vivant Brune has chocolate touches. Vivant Tripel is classically Belgian: golden and sweet, with a creamy head. Can't decide? Try an $8 flight, along with a charcuterie board of bread and sausage, Yesterday's Soup (soup is always best the next day), white-bean cassoulet or steak frites from the evolving menu (616/719-1604; breweryvivant.com).
Le Claire, Iowa: Mississippi River Distilling Company
A commitment to using local ingredients drives this sophisticated yet earthy craft distillery near the Quad Cities. Every gin, bourbon, vodka and seasonal whiskey produced here features products grown within 25 miles. Visitors learn about the grain-to-glass philosophy on free tours, culminating with a tasting in a room overlooking the Mississippi River. Even the room's decor is local, using reclaimed barn beams and area artists' work.
No need to call ahead, just show up on the hour (noon to 4 p.m.) and prepare to cheer for the two brothers who started it all in December 2010 (563/484-4342; mrdistilling.com).

Pests come in all sorts of shapes and sizes from rats and mice to cockroaches and mosquitoes. None of them are pleasant to have invading your home and all of them can do just that depending on what time of the year it is, what the climate is like, and how well secured your home is against rodents and pests.
Beetles are another insect that you should be aware of as they can do a lot of damage to both your home the landscaping. Sometimes, you may need to consider beetle pest control in Moulton.

Carpet beetles are one of the many common varieties of beetles to be found in the home and even commercial properties and they can damage clothing, furniture and all sorts of things around your home, even while in a larvae state. Even in this basic form they require sustenance in order to grow to the adult stages and they'll scavenge your property for places to feed. You may need beetle pest control in Alabama if your infestation is bad.
Carpet beetles are attracted to foods like grains and basically any crumbs left on the floor and once they've come across sustenance they'll move on to whatever else is around. They like to hide under floors and in all sorts of nooks and crannies around the residence making them a real nuisance and often very difficult to find. Typically they'll eat plant life in a garden as well but once they get into your home they'll grow into full sized carpet beetles and begin causing the destruction they're known for.
Japanese beetles are another common pest you'll have to deal with from time to time and while it seems like a pest that wouldn't be very common in America, it is actually easier to deal with in Japan. In Japan they are not very destructive but the variation experienced in America will quickly destroy a variety of plants and can ruin a garden. Japanese beetles also tend to get inside your living spaces through small unsealed regions around the home where they'll feed on minuscule food scraps.

Don't let these immature beetles grow by feeding off of your furnishings. They may be tiny but the longer you ignore them, the more damage they will incur in time. Make sure to keep a clean house so they won't be compelled to stay. Keep your home sealed to keep pests including beetles out and use chemicals when necessary in order to make a barrier that will keep them from entering your home or destroying your landscaping.
If you've ever had a beetle infestation and needed beetle pest control, you know just what a pain this insect can be. While employing the help of a pest control company is not always required, a qualified beetle pest control service can help you isolate the source of your issue and eliminate it. If you've been lucky enough not to have an infestation, the following information will help you identify types of carpet beetles and make sure your home stays safe from them.
The three most common types of carpet beetle are the black carpet beetle, the furniture carpet beetle, and the varied carpet beetle. All go through a four-stage life cycle, which includes egg, larvae (crawling stage), pupae (cocoon) and adult. The larvae look quite different from the adult carpet beetles.
These are types of beetles to look out for during beetle pest control:
- Black Carpet Beetles: The adult beetle grows to be around 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch long and has an oval-shaped, shiny black or dark brown body. The black carpet beetle larvae tend to be golden to dark brown in color, are usually longer than the adults (around 5/16 of an inch) and have a narrow, elongated body covered with short, stiff, dark hairs.
- Furniture Carpet Beetles: The adult beetle is usually around 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch long and nearly round. They appear to have a mottled appearance, as their bodies are covered with multi-colored scales. The underside of the body is white. The larvae of the furniture carpet beetle are more of an oval shape, around 1/4 inch long, and is covered with thick, dark hairs.
- Varied Carpet Beetles: The adult beetle is similar to the adult furniture carpet beetle in that it is nearly round, grows to around 1/10 of an inch to 1/8 of an inch long, and has multi-colored scales, giving it a "spotty" appearance. Varied carpet beetle larvae have tufts of dark fur, bodies with alternating bands of light and dark color, and are oval in shape, although the rear of the body is wider than the front.
In all varieties, the larvae are scavengers that cause damage as they feed on natural fabrics (like wool, leather, or silk) and open or spilled grain products (such as cereal, pasta, flour and cake mixes). Larvae also eat lint, pet hair, pet food, book bindings — you get the idea. Kill larvae to prevent beetle pest control.

Since adults can lay between 40 and 90 eggs at a time, a group of larvae can be rather destructive. The adult will lay the eggs in what's called a larval food source, a large section of any of the materials described above. Once hatched, the larvae will feed and move around until it is time to pupate (cocoon). During this time, they find dark, secluded places with ample food sources.
It can be easy to tell their damage from moth damage because carpet beetle larvae tend to feed on one area of a piece of clothing or your carpet, while moths tend to cause damage in several different spots. The dark skin shed once the larvae pupate and their fecal pellets, about the size of a grain of salt, can also indicate where larvae have been feeding.
While it can be difficult to keep these insects completely out of your home because they are so small, there are pest prevention measures you can take to minimize their activity indoors. The first step is to keep your home clean in beetle pest control. Vacuum frequently, especially in corners and under furniture, to remove any accumulations of lint and pet hair. Regularly clean draperies, linens, rugs and carpets. Promptly clean any food spills from furniture, rugs and carpets. Make sure all open food containers are sealed tightly after use. Trim back any flowering plants near window or door openings to prevent adults from sneaking into your home.
If you utilize the above pest prevention tactics and are still seeing ongoing evidence of an infestation, contact a qualified pest control service for assistance. A green pest control company will recognize that chemicals may not always be the answer; it is more important to find the source of the infestation and clean out that area completely.

Ghost Rider movie review
I enjoyed Ghost Rider (directed by Mark Steven Johnson) even though I am not a comic book fan and I had not read the Johnny Blaze comics on which this movie is based. I wonder why reviewers here trashed the movie. It's certainly not trash, though silly in parts, but more of that later.
Well, it's basically a fantasy action type of movie and if you like that, you will find this one quite alright. Based on a comic book character, it is about a stunt motorcyclist who gives up his soul to become the devil's bounty hunter and fights the son of the devil – Blackheart. There is fast action and a lot of motor cycle stunts. Nicholas Cage plays Johnny Blaze. Johnny leads a normal life by day as a stuntman and showman, but at night he transforms into a blazing monstor figure with a bike that is also on fire, like him.
The characters all seemed paper cut outs but then it didn't seem to matter much because of the genre of the movie. If one is looking for some deep meaningful dialogues, a riveting story or even witty lines, it isn't here. It's an out and out superficial action flick. Not too deep and very very predictable, and even the stunts are not top class. Yet, the movie is decent time-pass. I wasn't bored at all.
Matt Long acts well as the young Johnny Blaze, but he looks jarringly different from the older version (Nicholas Cage). In fact like many reviewers I too felt that Nicholas Cage was not right for the role. Though I like Cage as an actor (one of the reasons why I went for the movie), he doesn't look like a Superhero here. In fact he doesn't seem to try to be like one. He looks too skinny for one thing. And he has a certain effiminate look about him throughout. Raquel Alessi as a young Roxanne and Eva Mendes as the older one were stunning. True, they didn't have much of a role but then in action movies the woman is often just a decoration.
Interestingly, the movie is doing some innovative marketing here in India. Take a look at this:
Thats a Volvo Bus and it runs on the Mumbai-Pune route. I haven't seen this myself but it is reported that the bus is painted in such a way that when the wheels of the bus turn, it appears as if the wheels of 'Ghost Rider' Bike are turning.

was kind of so-so movie. I could life without it.

Teddy Roosevelt's absence didn't prevent the Washington Nationals' other racing presidents from engaging in some antics during Thursday night's presidents race at Nationals Park.
With TR still out getting treatment for an injury, the three remaining presidents ran a tight race last night — that is, until they hit the home stretch. That's when George Washington practically jumped on top of Abe Lincoln to tackle him to the ground in foul territory.
Clearly George gives revenge against Abe a higher priority than maintaining his lead over Jefferson for 2nd place in the standings.
Meanwhile, the Nationals remain mum about the treatment for Teddy's injury, and with each absence, the rumor mill buzzes more loudly. We hear the frame that holds up Teddy's head is broken. Let's hope for the fans' sake that they get him back in shape quickly — or that Teddy learns to play through the pain!

The new, Republican-controlled House of Representatives started work yesterday, and it took only a few hours before anti-net neutrality legislation was introduced to stop the "vampires" at the FCC from imposing net neutrality on American Internet access providers.
No surprises here; Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) had last year made plain her opposition to net neutrality, and she pledged back in November to legislate against the FCC.
"Chairman Genachowski has little if any Congressional support for net neutrality," she said at the time. "He can expect this folly to be resolutely overturned in the new year, and to ensure that, I will reintroduce my bill to pull the FCC from the policy making process on the first day of the 112th Congress."
Blackburn was as good as her word. She spent her first day back at work introducing a slew of strongly conservative bills, including ones:
Expressing the sense of Congress that the President should issue, and Congress should hold hearings on, a report and a certification regarding the responsibilities, authorities, and powers of his "czars."
To provide for enhanced Federal, State, and local assistance in the enforcement of the immigration laws.
To amend the Clean Air Act to provide that greenhouse gases are not subject to the Act.
To make 15 percent across-the-board rescissions in non-defense, non-homeland-security, and non-veterans-affairs discretionary spending for each of the fiscal years 2011 and 2012.
Finally, there was H.R. 96, a bill "to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from further regulating the Internet." Blackburn had sponsored this bill during the last Congress, too, where it went absolutely nowhere. When she introduced it back in 2009, she suggested it should be called the "Real Stimulus Act of 2009." It contained only a few lines, chief of which was this one: "In General—The Federal Communications Commission shall not propose, promulgate, or issue any regulations regarding the Internet or IP-enabled services." National security issues and wiretapping rules would be exempt from this restriction.
Blackburn's bill has 59 cosponsors. Although unlikely to become law in anything like its current form, it's a reminder of how serious Republicans are about overturning or at least limiting the FCC's net neutrality rules passed back in December.
Blackburn, in particular, hates the idea of such rules with a passion usually reserved for things like tax increases or new federal programs. Consider her rhetoric from last December, when the rules passed the FCC on a 3-2 vote:
There's no such thing as hospice for federal bureaucracies. No quiet corner where bureaus who have outlived their usefulness can go to bravely face the end. The undead need no such niceties; not when they can leap vampire-like upon the next great sector of American life and proceed to suck it dry in the name of "public interest," "fair play," or any other euphemistic glamour the Executive and Legislative branches can be lulled into
Just four days before Christmas, the FCC will make its vampric leap from its traditional jurisdiction—the terrestrial radio and land line telephones that have fallen into disuse; onto the gifts piled neatly under our trees. The iPads and iPhones, Androids, Wiis, Webbooks, and WiFi will all feel the federal bite in a way they never have before
The FCC is effectively nationalizing the web Industry and creative content providers who were coerced into this deal by an over zealous FCC Chairman should take heart. Like the breaking of dawn, the new Congress will prove a swift antidote to the federal bloodsucker you found at your throat this Christmas.
Chairman Genachowski has been warned about his vampiric ways—and it now looks like Congress is after him with cloves of rhetorical garlic and stakes of legislative lumber.

BOSTON—Boston-area residents were coming together in prayer and reflection Sunday after a tumultuous week as the lone surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing lay hospitalized under heavy guard apparently in no shape for interrogation.
What Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will say and when are unclear. He remained in serious condition Sunday two days after being pulled bloody and wounded from a tarp-covered boat in a Watertown backyard. The capture came at the end of a tense Friday that began with his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, dying in a gun battle with police.
· Russia warned FBI about terror suspect
There was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be. The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.
· Boston bombing suspect captured after massive manhunt
The most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.
· Suspect was under FBI surveillance, mother says
U.S. officials said an elite interrogation team would question the Massachusetts college student without reading him his Miranda rights, which guarantees the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Such an exception is allowed on a limited basis when the public may be in immediate danger, such as instances in which bombs are planted and ready to go off.
ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said the legal exception applies only when there is a continued threat to public safety and is "not an open-ended exception" to the Miranda rule.
The federal public defender's office in Massachusetts said it has agreed to represent Tsarnaev once he is charged. Miriam Conrad, public defender for Massachusetts, said he should have a lawyer appointed as soon as possible because there are "serious issues regarding possible interrogation."
But Republican Rep. Mike Rogers told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he's not worried that the government has decided against reading the suspect his rights. Rogers said FBI agents need to know whether there are other bombs more than they need to use in court what the suspect might tell them.
Rogers, a former FBI agent, said there is so much evidence against the suspect that a conviction should be easy.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Sunday that surveillance video from Monday's Boston Marathon attack shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev dropping his backpack and calmly walking away from it before the bomb inside it exploded.
"It does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off, put it down, did not react when the first explosion went off and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion," Patrick told NBC television. "It's pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling, frankly."
He added, however, that he hasn't viewed all the tapes but had been briefed by law enforcement about them.
President Barack Obama said there are many unanswered questions about the bombing, including whether the Tsarnaev brothers—ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and lived in the Boston area—had help from others. The president urged people not to rush judgment about their motivations.
Speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," Patrick said that he has no idea what motivated the suspects. The governor said it's hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm "innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did."
Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when police killed one suspect and captured the other. Boston Mayor Tom Menino said on ABC's "This Week" that information he has indicates the two brothers suspected in the attack acted alone.
Patrick said Saturday afternoon that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition and was probably unable to communicate. Tsarnaev was at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where 11 victims of the bombing were still being treated.
"I, and I think all of the law enforcement officials, are hoping for a host of reasons the suspect survives," the governor said after a ceremony at Fenway Park to honour the victims and survivors of the attack. "We have a million questions, and those questions need to be answered."
On Sunday, a Boston synagogue was opening its doors to worshippers from Trinity Church, which sits in the shadow of the Marathon finish line and remains closed. An interfaith service will also be held Sunday near the finish line. The Rev. Nancy Taylor of the Old South Church said worshippers will be showing solidarity with the bombing victims.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley was offering a Mass to pray for those killed and injured in the attack and manhunt for the suspects. The service will also honour police, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and doctors who saved lives.
The all-day manhunt Friday brought the Boston area to a near standstill and put people on edge across the metropolitan area.
The break came around nightfall when a homeowner in Watertown saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw a bloody Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding inside, police said. After an exchange of gunfire, he was seized and taken away in an ambulance.
Raucous celebrations erupted in and around Boston, with chants of "USA! USA!" Residents flooded the streets in relief four days after the two pressure-cooker bombs packed with nails and other shrapnel went off.
During the long night of violence leading up to the capture, the Tsarnaev brothers killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, severely wounded another lawman and took part in a furious shootout and car chase in which they hurled explosives at police from a large homemade arsenal, authorities said.
Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said one of the explosives was the same type used during Monday's Boston Marathon attack, and authorities later recovered a pressure cooker lid that had embedded in a car down the street. He said the suspects also tossed two grenades before Tamerlan Tsarnaev ran out of ammunition and police tackled him.
But while handcuffing him, officers had to dive out of the way as Dzhokhar drove the carjacked Mercedes at them, Deveau said. The sport utility vehicle dragged Tamerlan's body down the block, he said. Police initially tracked the escaped suspect by a blood trail he left behind a house after he abandoned the Mercedes, negotiating his surrender hours later.
Chechnya, where the Tsarnaev family has roots, has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
Investigators have not offered a motive for the Boston attack. But in interviews with officials and those who knew the Tsarnaevs, a picture has emerged of the older one as someone embittered toward the U.S., increasingly vehement in his Muslim faith and influential over his younger brother.
The Russian FSB intelligence service told the FBI in 2011 about information that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam, two law enforcement officials said Saturday.
According to an FBI news release, a foreign government said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev appeared to be a strong believer and that he had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the U.S. for travel to a region in Russia to join unspecified underground groups.
The FBI did not name the foreign government, but the two officials said it was Russia. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter publicly.
The FBI said that in response, its agents interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev and relatives, and did not find any domestic or foreign terrorism activity. The bureau said it looked into such things as his telephone and online activity, his travels and his associations with others.
An uncle of the Tsarnaev brothers said he had a falling-out with Tamerlan over the man's increased commitment to Islam.
Ruslan Tsarni from Maryland said Tamerlan told him in a 2009 phone conversation that he had chosen "God's business" over work or school. Tsarni said he then contacted a family friend who told him Tsarnaev had been influenced by a recent convert to Islam.
Tsarni said his relationship with his nephew basically ended after that call.
As for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, "he's been absolutely wasted by his older brother. I mean, he used him. He used him for whatever he's done," Tsarni said.
Albrecht Ammon, a downstairs-apartment neighbour of Tamerlan Tsarnaev in Cambridge, said in an interview that the older brother had strong political views about the United States. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as "an excuse for invading other countries."
Tamerlan Tsarnaev studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said. He was married with a young daughter.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a student at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. The college was evacuated Friday, but officials said residence and dining halls will reopen Sunday.
As of Saturday, more than 50 victims of the bombing remained hospitalized, three in critical condition.

A Child Living with a Pacemaker or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
With advances in technology, implanted pacemakers and ICDs generally last 5 to 7 years or more (depending on usage and the type of device) and, in most cases, allow a child to lead a normal life. In addition, advances in device circuitry and insulation have reduced the interference risk from machinery, such as microwaves, which in the past may have altered or otherwise affected these surgically implanted cardiac devices. Even so, certain precautions must be taken into consideration when a child has an implanted pacemaker or ICD.
What precautions should be taken with an implanted pacemaker or ICD?
Your child should wear a medical identification bracelet or necklace to let others know about the device in case of emergency. When he or she is old enough to have a wallet, it is a good idea to also carry an ID card.
The following items do not alter the function of today's pacemakers or ICDs:
Microwave ovens
Kitchen appliances such as blenders, toaster ovens, and electric knives
Televisions (including the remote control), FM and AM radios, and stereos
TV and radio transmitters
Ham radios and CB radios
Electric blankets and heating pads
Electric shavers, hair dryers, curling irons, and other personal care appliances
Gardening machinery, such as electric trimmers
Garage door openers
Metal detectors
Copying and fax machines
Properly grounded shop tools (except power generators or arc welding equipment)
Cell phones
Typically, cell phones do not affect the functioning of pacemakers or ICDs. Most devices made today have a filter that allows the use of most cell phones used throughout the world, including analog and digital technologies. However, the Federal Communications Commission is making new frequencies available for cellular phones, which may make pacemakers or ICDs less reliable. General recommendations include keeping a cell phone at least 6 inches away from a pacemaker or ICD, and avoiding carrying a cell phone in a breast pocket over the device.
Make sure your child uses caution when going through security detectors at airports and government buildings, such as courthouses. Although it is generally safe to go through airport security detectors (they should not damage the pacemaker or ICD), inform airport security personnel that your child has a pacemaker or ICD before he or she goes through security because the device may set off the alarm. Also, if your child is selected for a more detailed search, politely remind security that the hand-held metal-detecting wand should NOT be held over the device for any prolonged period of time (more than a second or two), as the magnet inside the detecting wand may temporarily change the operating mode of the device. Be prepared to show an identification card or a medical identification bracelet in order to pass through security checkpoints.
Other precautions
The following situations may cause interference with ICDs. (Some of the activities mentioned are not appropriate until a child nears adulthood, but may affect older teenagers.) Discuss the following in detail with your child's doctor:
Avoid working with, holding, or carrying magnets near the pacemaker or ICD.
Avoid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines or other large magnetic fields, as these may affect the programming or function of the device. Also, the rapidly changing magnetic field within the MRI scanner may, in theory, cause heating of the device leads. Often, there are alternatives to MRI for persons with pacemakers, but if your child's doctor determines that he or she absolutely needs an MRI scan, discuss this thoroughly with your child's cardiologist before proceeding. If the cardiologist and you decide to go ahead, your child should be closely monitored during the scan, with a pacemaker programming device immediately available. Also, metal objects are never permitted near MRI machines.
Abstain from diathermy (the use of heat in physical therapy to treat muscles).
Turn off large motors, such as cars or boats, when working on them, as they may temporarily "confuse" the device. Do not use chain saws, because of the close contact with the motor components.
Avoid certain high-voltage or radar machinery, such as arc welders, high-tension wires, radar installations, smelting furnaces, electric steel furnaces, and other high-current industrial equipment.
Avoid working in restricted spaces near radio or television transmitting towers and antennas.
If your child is having a surgical procedure done by a surgeon or dentist, tell the surgeon or dentist that your child has a pacemaker or ICD. Some surgical procedures will require that your child's device be temporarily turned off or set to a special mode; however, this decision will be made by your child's cardiologist. Temporarily changing the mode on your child's device can be performed noninvasively (no additional surgery is required), but should only be performed by qualified medical personnel.
Certain medical procedures may occasionally affect the function of the device, but might be performed successfully with some adjustments to the pacemaker or ICD settings. These procedures include the following:
Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). A procedure that dissolves kidney stones.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). A device used to relieve acute or chronic pain.
Therapeutic radiation treatments for cancer
Consult your child's doctor before your child undergoes these procedures.
Always consult your child's doctor if you have any questions concerning the use of certain equipment near your child's pacemaker.
Can my child participate in regular, daily activities with a pacemaker or ICD?
Once the device has been implanted, your child should generally be able to do the same activities as other people in the same age group. Your child's doctor will provide activity instructions specific to your child.
However, when involved in a physical, recreational, or sporting activity, a child with a pacemaker or ICD should avoid receiving a blow to the area over the pacemaker. A blow to the chest or abdomen near the pacemaker or ICD can affect its functioning. Contact sports are usually not recommended for children with pacemakers or ICDs for this reason. If your child does receive a blow to that area, contact your child's doctor. Consult your child's doctor for activity restrictions.
Always consult your child's doctor when he or she feels ill after an activity, or when you have questions about beginning a new activity.
How can I ensure that my child's pacemaker or ICD is working properly?
Although your child's device is built to last 5 to 7 years, always have it checked regularly to ensure that it is working properly. Different doctors may have different schedules for checking devices. Most are checked in the home using a telephone and special equipment provided by your child's device manufacturer. Your child's doctor will recommend in-person device checks at specific intervals as well. Any device setting changes must be made in person, by a trained medical professional, using a device programmer.
Battery life, lead wire condition, and various functions are checked by doing what is called "device interrogation". During an interrogation, the device is noninvasively connected to a device programmer using a special wand placed on the skin over the pacemaker or ICD. The data is transmitted from the device to the programmer and evaluated. Most in-home device interrogation systems use wireless technology to connect the device to special equipment that records the data and sends it to your child's doctor.
Your doctor may ask you to check your child's pulse rate periodically. Report any unusual symptoms, or symptoms similar to those your child had prior to the device insertion, to your child's doctor immediately.
Always consult your child's doctor for more information, if needed.
What is the pulse?
The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood. This can be felt in various points in the body as a pulse. Taking a pulse not only measures the heart rate, but also can indicate the following:
Heart rhythm (abnormal rhythm may indicate a heart disorder)
Strength of the pulse (a weak pulse may indicate a fast heartbeat in which some beats are too weak to feel, heart failure, or a low volume of blood in the circulatory system)
Many pacemakers provide varying rates, depending on your child's activity level and other factors. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Teenage girls and women, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do boys and men of the same age. Athletes, such as runners, who do a lot of cardiovascular conditioning may have naturally slow heart rates.
How to check your child's pulse
As the heart forces blood through the arteries, you can feel the beats by firmly pressing on an artery. Your arteries are located close to the surface of the skin at certain points of the body. The pulse can be found on the side of the lower neck, on the inside of the elbow, or at the wrist. When taking a pulse:
Using the first and second fingertips, press firmly but gently on the arteries until you feel a pulse.
Begin counting the pulse when the clock's second hand is on the 12.
Count the pulse for 60 seconds (or for 15 seconds and then multiply by four to calculate beats per minute).
When counting, do not watch the clock continuously, but concentrate on the beats of the pulse. If you have trouble with this method, try a digital kitchen timer and set it for one minute. Stop counting when the timer alarms.
If unsure about your results, ask another person to count for you.
It may be better to check the wrist (radial artery) pulse than a neck (carotid artery) pulse. If you must check a neck pulse, do not press hard on the neck, and never press on both sides of the neck at the same time; this can cause some people to pass out.
If you are having difficulty finding your child's pulse, consult your child's doctor for additional instruction.

Cinematic Retrospective: A Look At Warcraft Trailers
As most people have probably heard, the Mists trailer is out this morning! I watched it eagerly and I really enjoyed it. I saw some comments going around where people were comparing their "favourite" trailers or rating and numbering them. It seemed like a good opportunity to go back in time a little bit and reflect on the trailers for the previous expansions. It's interesting to see the evolution in both aim and tone.
For me what really stands out about the classic "World of Warcraft" trailer is that it's quite ambitious for the time. Keep in mind, I didn't play the original Warcraft RTS games nor did I watch this trailer when it was current. Based on the way it's put together, it feels to me as if they really wanted to highlight and showcase the various races that would feature in the game that people knew and loved from the originals. So it's very, "Look, it's a dwarf! Look, it's a night elf! Look now she's a panther OMG you guys!" That isn't necessarily a bad thing, either!
Something interesting to note for later (if you're watching the cinematics along with me) is the characterization of the orc versus later orcs. The orc in this cinematic is very much "ROAR" and look there is fire and I am big and scary. To my ears he even sounds more bestial/brutish; if watching this trailer were my only experience with any Warcraft stuff I might think he was a monster rather than a playable, sentient race. This cinematic sets out to get people excited about what they will see in the online version of Warcraft, and is obviously aimed mostly at fans of the Warcraft universe.
The Burning Crusade
This is a trailer I watched closer to when it was actually released. I didn't have any idea of the backstory of Illidan (Tyrande, Malfurion etc) at the time so I had no idea who the scary guy with the voice was. Watching it now with different eyes, I can appreciate the impact of the Illidan voiceover. You know it had a lasting effect, because how many times did you hear someone make a joke or quote, "I/You/Your Dog was not prepared"?
The blood elves and the draenei are characterized; they did a particularly good job with the female blood elf, in my opinion. Especially the first time you watch this trailer, you're surprised by her sudden shift in attitude from seemingly innocent to sinister. There is a need in her that's frightening, which is exactly the story of the Sin'dorei in the Burning Crusade.
Up until this point with the cinematics, Blizzard has been outdoing themselves each time. I'm not talking about the actual graphics of the cinematics (although they have obviously improved, along with technology) but also the scope and ambition. This one shows the Dark Portal with its swirling door – challenging players, even mocking them. "You are not prepared" became a catchphrase because it was so memorable and it hits right at the heart of gamers. You think I'm not prepared? I'm going to show you how prepared I am!
Wrath of the Lich King
This trailer. (Did you watch it again? You really should.) This trailer gave me chills. It's so cleverly done. The juxtaposition of Terenas Menethil instructing his son on the responsibility of royalty paired with the dark visuals and the true horror and irony of what his son went on to become are nothing less than masterful. I don't know if it's because Blizzard had such a legendary figure from the previous games to build upon, but in terms of cohesiveness and impact this trailer blows all of the others out of the water. I can't even find something to nitpick about with it. It has awe-inspiring visuals, emotional heft, and it also tells a story. Even the music used for it is phenomenal and it lends much to the story itself as the trailer unfolds. It is a tragic lament, an incredibly sad song – in keeping with what is also a tragic story.
The cinematic leaves you wanting to defeat the horrors that are hinted at here. I look at the legions of undead and I still get twitchy even to this day. I really want to kill the Lich King and everything he stands for. And this is knowing that I've already done so! This trailer is successful even when it's an anachronism. Basically, I love it, and I loved Wrath, so I am clearly biased.
The trailer for Cataclysm is an interesting case. I would argue (and you're welcome to disagree) that it is much less successful than any previous trailer, even the Vanilla trailer. Oh sure, it has impressive visuals. You get the lava and the forge and the big dragon. But for me therein lies the problem that we've been talking about for all of Cataclysm: the story told in this trailer really boils down to "I am a big dragon destroying your Azeroth rawr." It's sad because the character of Neltharion has a lot of meat to it, none of which featured in Cataclysm at all. I found myself struggling to remember whether I even heard his voice when you're fighting him, or if I only read what he said on the screen? The fact that I can't remember seems eloquent enough to me.
That's where this trailer falls down. It has some emotional impact, yes, but all of the weight of the trailer rests upon the locations Deathwing is destroying. It relies on you caring about seeing them destroyed. In that sense, it works. Seeing Thousand Needles awash in a great tidal wave is definitely upsetting. But other parts of the trailer just expose the suspension of disbelief necessary for Deathwing to work as a villain, and why he simply wasn't that effective in Cataclysm. He was STANDING on Stormwind and he didn't just raze it to the ground. Yes, it's distressing to see a dragon with his claws planted at the front gate of Stormwind. But you know that Stormwind wasn't actually destroyed, and then you have to wonder, why not? It took us an entire expansion to take him down, but for the majority of that he was just flying around randomly breathing fire on some things. Someone on Twitter pointed out (I'm sorry, I can't remember who to attribute this to) that Deathing is basically a griefer. He waits until you are AFK and then ganks you by setting a zone on fire. I know some people joked that during Wrath we saw Arthas a little too much, but we saw him just enough as far as I'm concerned. I'll never forget running into him in the "dream world" near Utgarde and how he squashed me like a bug. He was a villain who made things personal.
Other people have delved into this more deeply than I want to get into here, but essentially: Deathwing is just a big dragon (yawn) and that's basically this trailer to me.
Mists of Pandaria
Now we get to the exciting new shiny that everyone wants to talk about! First of all, I want to talk about the orc here. (Remember how I mentioned orcs earlier?) Notice what a huge difference there is with this orc versus the first orc featured in the classic WoW trailer! This orc is canny. He doesn't just come lumbering up to the human, he's watching him for a moment, gauging his opponent, thinking. Oh, there's no doubt they are going to end up fighting (hello, orcs and humans) but he doesn't just charge in blindly. When he accidentally reveals his position with a sound, then he's lost the advantage and he seizes what he has left to him to try and catch the human off-guard.
I really like the way they chose to portray both the orc and the human here. The human is also a grizzled veteran and someone used to command. He's not going to back down from a fight with the orc, and it's a great fight scene. As the trailer goes on, the appearance of Chen Stormstout just makes it better. Of course it has all the kung fu movie type tropes (effortlessly dodging attacks and putting both opponents down repeatedly, etc. Although the human does take a chunk out of his hat!) This is basically just a good, wholesome fight scene and it's enjoyable to watch. There are moments of subtle humour, too – Chen replaces the pedestal the orc broke and then straightens it (you can almost hear him thinking "HMPH,") and when the human hands the orc the spear their open-mouthed gaping is priceless.
But what about the story, since I was so down on the Cataclysm trailer and Deathwing for lacking a story? Well, it's an interesting trailer because unlike the previous three expansions (and as Blizzard themselves have made this clear) it doesn't have a "big bad." You don't see any villains in this cinematic at all, unless the humans and orcs are the villains, and we just might be in this context. But that doesn't mean it's lacking a story. Chen's voice over speaks volumes about that with the more philosophical questions. "Why do we fight?" etc. The moment when the mists dissipate to reveal the rest of Pandaria gave me chills just like the Wrath trailer. Again, it's a completely different approach and that's what I like about it. It takes several themes – the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance, the nature of the new race we are meeting – and interweaves them.
We know that Mists doesn't have one overarching villain the way previous expansions did. That doesn't mean it lacks conflict. The trailer left me with a strong wish to explore this land and get to know its mysterious inhabitants. That is the best place you could hope for a trailer to leave you – excited, anticipatory, and impressed. If this world is even half as beautiful as the trailer would suggest, I am going to be ridiculously happy wandering around it at the end of September.

Today's News: Our Take - 10 Things to Know About Revolution's Return
The revolution is about to begin!
On Monday, March 25 (10/9c), Revolution returns after a four-month hiatus - and though it's been quite a while since the show has been on the air, the NBC series will pick up exactly where we left off, with Miles (Billy Burke) & Co. on the run from Monroe (David Lyons) and his fleet of newly powered helicopters. But will they be able to make a daring escape? In short, duh! The show can't end like that! But what's in store for the survivors? The cast and executive producers teased what's coming up at Saturday's PaleyFest panel, moderated by TV Guide Magazine's Michael Schneider. Get the scoop below:
7 reasons to be excited for Revolution's return
1. The Blackout, revealed: "We reveal why the power went out and we do it early," executive producer Eric Kripke said, noting that it will open the door to a bigger mystery. "It will be fun to see the audience's reaction to it." Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) actually knows the real reason, so, "there's no reason she wouldn't say it."
2. The world expands: As Monroe's power grows, so too will the world of Revolution as the group may need to rely on other territories in the fight against Monroe. "This revolution against Monroe really begins," Kripke says. "[They] all join together to take on this evil tyrant." But executive producer Jon Favreau noted that loyalties with these other federations may change as power shifts hands. Among the new faces is Leslie Hope's President Foster, the leader of the Georgia Federation. "She's badass," Kripke said. "She's really steely and strong and has her own management style that is quite different than Monroe's."
3. Charlie's not a kid anymore: Even though Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) has been reunited with her mother Rachel and brother Danny (Graham Rogers), she will continue to fight for the rebellion, which will put her at odds with herself. "Is she able to keep her humanity through it all?" Spiridakos said. She may find help in that department in Jason (J.D. Pardo), who Spiridakos noted will be around the rebels more in the second half of the season.
6 things to know about Revolution's return
4. Miles may fall off the wagon: Miles will have to step up as a leader in the rebellion against the Monroe republic, but his past demons may hinder him. "Were the show to take place five years earlier, Miles would be the bad guy," Kripke said. "He's a former bad guy trying to be good. He can be a real son of a bitch in backstory, and he really flirts with some of that again."
5. Monroe goes off the hinges: With Miles deserting him once again, Monroe will set his sights on quashing the rebellion and making Miles pay for it in the process by putting out a kill order on his head. With no one to trust, Monroe may make some questionable decisions. "There's a void in him that cannot be filled with all the power in the world," Lyons says. "He's broken and the question is, can he be mended? I'm not sure."
6. Neville is the ultimate soldier: While Giancarlo Esposito insisted that his character isn't necessarily evil - he's just following orders to keep people in line - his devotion to Monroe will cause a rift with his son Jason. Jason will finally stand up for himself in an upcoming episode, as he tries to make his father realize that Monroe is just slaughtering the masses. Still, there could be hope for Neville. "I believe that Tom is a guy that we may see a sliver of hope for," Esposito says.
7. The past will resurface: Kripke teased that we'll discover more about Miles and Monroe's history and why they ultimately turned against each other. Speaking of Miles, we'll also learn more about his history with Rachel -- like why, in the opening moments of the return episode, Rachel shows the slightest hint of jealousy over his relationship with Nora (Daniella Alonso). Spoiler alert: Lyons also spilled that he has an upcoming scene with Nora.

8. A happy family? Now that Rachel has been reunited with her children, the dynamic of the group will certainly shift, which will be particularly difficult for Charlie. "There's a lot of resentment and anger there for her, especially when they get back together, Rachel has no answers for her," Spiradakos said. Still, it is her mother, so they will attempt to find common ground.
9. Will Aaron get his own redemption? Many viewers questioned Aaron's (Zak Orth) decision to abandon his wife, but Kripke said that that very question will be addressed in a upcoming episode in which Aaron will come face-to-face with his wife again. "They're able to work out their issues," Kripke said, noting that Aaron left her behind because he was a coward, but he's been able to find strength again.
10. The endgame: Even though the second half of the season will see the group on a quest to give everyone power in to even the playing field, Kripke said that the end of the series isn't necessarily about power being restored to all. "Maybe at the very, very end," he said, noting that seeing the consequences of it coming on in waves is far more interesting. "If it stays on forever, [Revolution] just becomes a very exciting single-camera sitcom."
Revolution returns Monday, March 25 at 10/9c on NBC.
