Yonanas Review: Stupid Name, Amazing Dessert

Years ago I heard that you could make a delicious and healthy "ice cream" type dessert simply by blending frozen bananas. While the result was indeed tasty, it killed my blender and was really hard to scoop out. More »

What Things To Do For Home Improvementwith me | Marijuana for ...

Step into the home improvement world! Home improvements are a complicated endeavor. When you?re able to customize your changes, you may feel overwhelmed. Keep reading this article to learn some great home improvement tips.

If you hate painting and paneling, try wallpaper. Wallpapering can be very easy to do and will give your room more visual interest than a simple paint job. Be careful, though, some wallpaper is hard to remove.

Wallpaper and art additions can make a bathroom look better. Wallpaper trim or borders can be affordable and has so many options for colors and styles. Additionally, it?s fairly simple to put it up. When you put some nice art up with it, it?ll look stunning.

Do not use price as the only consideration when choosing a contractor. You might think you are saving money, but if he does not ask for a lot he may charge you more in the end. Others will do poor work due to the low price they are paid. Taking the time to learn as much as possible about each candidate is your best bet for hiring the right man (or woman) for the job.

You?ll want to be sure that your bathroom has a window in it. If your bathroom does not have ventilation it will quickly become a haven for bacteria and mold. Even applying paint to the walls will not completely remove the mold. It is better to make a change to prevent it from forming in the first place. Reduce humidity by adding a window or air ventilation.

To keep heated or cooled air from leaking around your windows and doors, install sealant strips and draft excluders. Draft excluders go underneath the door and prevent air from going in and out. Find sealant strips that go around the door frames. You can find these in hardware and home improvement stores.

If you think that you need to spruce up the look of the outside of the house, think about putting in a pergola. This garden fixture is becoming more and more common because of the rich appearance and the ability of the pergola to lend romance to shaded areas. With just a little help, a pergola can be installed in a weekend.

Keep a drain snake on hand to save yourself money. You will avoid the cost of buying expensive drain cleaners. Drain snakes are not for the completely inexperienced, so you may want to have a plumber show you how to use it the first time. Drains and pipes come in different sizes, so buy the right drain snake for the job to minimize damage occurring.

One way you can improve the look of your home is to replace your blinds. Over time, blinds become faded by the sun or damaged by little hands and paws or other mishaps. You?ll be surprised by the big difference new window treatments can make in your home.

There is a great variety of staining agents on the market if you are looking to refurbish your deck. You can buy clear stains, oil-based ones, solid colors, or toners on the deck. All clearly have advantages and disadvantages, so it?s important that you locate which one works best for you.

As you already know, home improvement projects add value to your house and give you a great sense of satisfaction. You should be ready to make the best choices, get inspiration and save money with the help of these tips.

Barnes

Barnes & Noble: hacked PIN pads were located in 63 stores in nine states. If you used a debit or credit card at one of them, change your PIN number immediately and contact your bank.?

By Schuyler Velasco,?Correspondent / October 24, 2012

A Barnes & Noble bookstore is shown in Encinitas, Calif., in this 2008 file photo.According to Barnes & Noble, hacked PIN pads at 63 of its 700 bookstores may have allowed hackers to steal credit-card information from customers who used the pads.

Barnes & Noble has been hacked, and is warning customers of a data breach affecting 63 of its stores in nine states.

The breach was ?a sophisticated criminal effort to steal credit card information, debit card information, and debit card PIN numbers from customers who swiped their cards through PIN pads when they made purchases,? New York-based?bookseller said in a statement Wednesday.

States with stores involved in the breach are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,?Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.

The hackers placed bugs to collect information on one PIN pad at each of the 63 affected stores, and only customers who used those specific PIN pads (less than 1 percent) are at risk, Barnes & Noble says.

As a precaution, Barnes & Noble has halted PIN pad use at each of its 700 locations nationwide. Customers can still make credit card purchases via cash registers.

The ?customer database is secure,? the company statement read. ?Purchases on Barnes & Noble.com, NOOK and NOOK mobile apps were not affected. The member database was also not affected. None of the affected PIN pads was discovered at Barnes & Noble College Bookstores.?

Customers who have used PIN pads at any of the affected locations should take the following steps:

Debit Card Users:

  • Change the PIN numbers on debit cards
  • Review account activity for unauthorized transactions
  • If any unauthorized purchases or withdrawals are discovered, notify your bank immediately.?

Credit Card Users:

  • Review statements for any unauthorized transactions
  • Notify your bank if you discover any unauthorized purchases or cash advances

Syrian military agrees to Eid cease-fire; residents report shelling

A look back at the violence that has overtaken the country

By NBC News staff and wire services

Damascus residents reported artillery barrages by Syrian troops on Thursday, hours before the scheduled start of a cease-fire to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, according to Reuters.

Residents said the shelling by troops stationed on a mountain overlooking the Syrian capital targeted Hajar al-Aswad, a poor neighborhood inhabited by refugees from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

"Consecutive artillery volleys from Qasioun shook my home," said Omar, an engineer who lives in al-Muhajereen district on a foothill of the mountain.

A Free Syrian Army commander had earlier given qualified backing to the truce, proposed by U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, but he demanded that President Bashar al-Assad free detainees. An Islamist group said it was not committed to the truce, due to start on Friday, but may halt operations if the army did.

Brahimi proposed the temporary truce to stem, however briefly, the bloodshed in a conflict that began as popular protests in March last year and has escalated into a civil war that activists say has killed more than 32,000 people.

Syria agrees to cease-fire during Eid holiday, says mediator

The fighting pits mainly Sunni Muslim rebels against Assad, from the Alawite faith which is linked to Shiite Islam, and threatens to draw in regional Sunni Muslim and Shiite powers and engulf the whole Middle East, Brahimi has warned.

"On the occasion of the blessed Eid al-Adha, the general command of the army and armed forces announces a halt to military operations on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, from Friday morning ... until Monday," an army statement read on state television said.


It reserved the right to respond if "the armed terrorist groups open fire on civilians and government forces, attack public and private properties, or use car bombs and explosives."

It would also respond to any reinforcement or re-supplying of rebel units, or smuggling of fighters from neighboring countries "in violation of their international commitments to combat terrorism."

Qassem Saadeddine, head of the military council in Homs province and spokesman for the FSA joint command, said his fighters were committed to the truce?but demanded the release of opposition prisoners on Friday.

Syrian opposition skeptical of 'feeble' ceasefire plan

Abu Moaz, spokesman for Ansar al-Islam, said the Islamist group doubted Assad's forces would observe the truce, though it might suspend operations if they did.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry has yet to announce that a cease-fire between government forces and rebels has been finalized. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.

"We do not care about this truce. We are cautious. If the tanks are still there and the checkpoints are still there then what is the truce?" he said of the organization, which includes several brigades fighting in the capital and Damascus province.

Brahimi's predecessor, former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, declared a cease-fire in Syria on April 12, but it soon became a dead letter, along with the rest of his six-point peace plan.

Report: At least 20 killed in Aleppo as rebels battle Syria army

Violence has intensified since then, with daily death tolls compiled by opposition monitoring groups often exceeding 200.

The U.S. State Department said it hopes the opposition forces and the government in Syria will put down their weapons and abide by the call for a cease-fire.

"What we are hoping and expecting is that they will not just talk the talk of cease-fire, but that they will walk the walk, beginning with the regime and we will be watching very closely," spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.??

Nuland called any day in Syria without violence progress and expressed hope that if the cease-fire is in place, there may be "space for more work to be done on a transition."

But Nuland also expressed skepticism, saying: "The Syrian regime in particular is good at making promises and less good at following through."

China urged all sides to respect a cease-fire, an idea also backed by Syria's main regional ally Iran.

Aid window
U.N. aid agencies have geared up to take advantage of any window of opportunity provided by a cease-fire to go to areas that have been difficult to reach due to fighting, a U.N. official in Geneva said.

"UN agencies have been preparing rapidly to scale up especially in areas that have been difficult to reach due to active conflict and which may become accessible as a result of these developments," he told Reuters.

The U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said that it had prepared emergency kits for distribution for up to 13,000 families - an estimated 65,000 people - in previously inaccessible areas including Homs and the northeastern city of Hassaka.

"We and our partners want to be in a position to move quickly if security allows over the next few days," UNHCR Syria Representative Tarik Kurdi in Damascus said in a statement.

The U.N. World Food Programme has identified 90,000 people in 21 hot spots from Aleppo to Homs and Latakia in need food parcels and will try to reach them through local agencies, the U.N. official said.

Ban Ki-moon, the U.N. secretary-general, welcomed?the planned cease-fire, according to Al Jazeera.

"We would simply fervently hope that the guns do fall silent, that there is a suspension in the violence so that humanitarian workers can help those who are most in need," Ban's spokesman Martin Nesirky told reporters, according to Al Jazeera.

"The world is now watching," he added.

Reuters and NBC's Catherine Chomiak contributed to this report.

Could Romney Overturn Roe v. Wade?

If former Gov. Mitt Romney wins this year's presidential election, there is a realistic chance that Roe v. Wade ? the Supreme Court decision that protected a woman's right to have an abortion ? could be overturned under his administration, experts say.

With the justices sitting on the court now, it's very unlikely an abortion case would garner the five votes needed to reverse the ruling, said Harvard Law School assistant professor I. Glenn Cohen, co-director of the school's Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics. But Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a left-leaning judge who is 79, could retire during the next administration, allowing the president to nominate a more conservative-minded judge. Another justice could retire as well.

If that happens, it's "possible to likely" that the court would have enough votes to overturn the 1973 ruling, Cohen said.

For the Roe v. Wade decision to be overturned, a case dealing with abortion rights would have to reach the Supreme Court, and there are cases in the lower courts that could easily make their way to the nation's top court, Cohen said.

Even if a case does not directly address the legality of abortion ? but instead, for example, centers on whether a pregnant woman should be required to view an ultrasound image of the fetus before an abortion ? the court could use the case as an opportunity to rule on Roe v. Wade as a whole, Cohen said.

If Roe v. Wade were overturned, laws regarding abortion would be decided by each state. Some states, including Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Dakota already have already passed laws that would make abortion illegal immediately in the event Roe v. Wade were overturned. Other states, including California, Hawaii and Maine, have laws protecting abortion rights if the ruling is reversed. Other states would have to pass new laws to address abortion rights, Cohen said.

It's not clear whether it would be constitutional for Mississippi, for example, to try to prohibit its residents from having a legal abortion in California, though such cross-state medical procedures would be difficult to control, Cohen said. Even if women could legally go to another state for an abortion, such travel is not always feasible, Cohen said. "It's not a great solution for women," he said.

Without replacing a judge, the court could still "chip away" at Roe vs. Wade, Cohen said. Currently, abortions in most states are legal until the fetus is viable ? meaning it could theoretically live outside the mother ? a stage reached around 23 weeks into pregnancy. However, about a dozen states have passed legislation that ?aims to make abortion illegal after 20 weeks on the basis that a fetus could feel pain at this point ? a disputed claim.

Because Roe vs. Wade does not address the pain of the fetus, such cases present a new "interest" that the court did not previously consider, Cohen said. As such, the cases present an opportunity for members of the court to narrow the time period of a legal abortion by about three weeks, Cohen said.

However, the Supreme Court decides which cases to take ? about 80 cases are heard each year ? and it's not certain the Court would pick an abortion case during in the next administration.

Pass it on: It's possible Roe vs. Wade could be overturned if a new Supreme Court judge is appointed who takes a stance against abortion rights.
