bdpf on 11/21/06 ===> As a Zone Alarm Free user for years, not the suite, I find it does a good job as a software fire wall.
All in one apps scare me. I use the recommended cluster of free programs to protect my computer.
1) Zone Alarm Free
2) Ad-Aware
3) Spybot Search & Destroy
4) Spyware Blaster
5) Win Patrol
Each program performs just one function of protection and over laps some to catch more mal-ware.
Plus they are free to a single user.
Played Nov 24 in Guam on History Channel. Tried to be as accurate as possible. It is mixed with a show that followed it.
In 1619 Puritans set sail from Gloucester England, and landed in winter 1620 in what is now Plymouth Massachusetts.

This author is a descendant of four Pilgrims, so can apply for membership in the Mayflower Society.
Only 52 settlers survived the first winter; only five women. The celebration of "Harvest Home" was the one pagan holiday the Puritans still kept. Puritans could only celebrate Fast Days, Thanksgiving Days, and Sabbaths. The Puritans considered their first Thanksgiving as a day in 1623 when rains saved their corn crop.
"Desparate Crossing" showed how the Puritans arrived in an area that had been severaly depopulated (90%) starting four years earlier. English had been visiting the New England coast for several decades.
The Wapanoag Tribe under Chief Massasoit sought an alliance with the Puritans. One of their tribe, Samoset, spoke a little English. He was replaced as translator by Squanto, who had spent more than 10 years with the English after escaping from slavery in Spanish by English sailors.
Edward Winslow seems to have been the best diplomat of the Puritans. Two or three of the Puritans slept in the same common house; an easy way to spread respiratory diseases.
John Billington and siblings caused alot of problems earlier. The Manomet near Boston gave the captive John to the Nauset tribe who lived on Cape Cod. The Nauset were so angry with the Puritans because other English had visited their coast frequently and kidnaped multiple men.
By fall of 1621, the following year, the Puritans chose to have a harvest festival. A group of locals attended, including King Massosoit and about 90 men. He was wearing a red coat given by the Pilgrims. Was it a used coat that contained germs? It appears the locals were not invited, but local protocol requiired that the Puritans feed the more than 100 visitors.
Edward Winslow, the diplomat to the locals, left in 1646 to England as a diplomat. He never returned.
Squanto sickens and dies in 1622, only two years later. He wanted to become a citizen.
Wm Bradford will remarry, and stay leader until he dies 1687. Both he and Massosoit will remain friends for life despite conflict with other members of their tribes.
John Robinson and Mr. Bruster left.
Wapanoags could not foresee the thousands of colonists who would arrive.
The show was co-hosted by Wapanoag nation members. My question is: How did the Wapanoag escape the mass deportation of indigenous Americans ordered by President Andrew Jackson. The Supreme Court had already declared the deportation illegal, since certain civilized Cherokee challenged it in Georgia court.
Great news for history buffs. PCMag.Com published an article on 11.13.06 by Natali T. Del Conte reporting this new overlay to Google Earth.
"The David Rumsey maps overlayed on Google Earth integrate historic cartographic masterpieces dating as far back as the 17th century."

ARSTechnica.Com says Yahoo To Add IM Into E-mail
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061110-8192.html
Read this story by Jeremy Reimer on ARSTechnica.Com to learn a prediction from Nov. 10, 2006 predicting Yahoo will add Instant Messaging to within its email. This might allow IM on a platform where the user does not have Administrator priviledges.
Suprising it has taken this long for the major IM providers to realize this. Millions of people working on corporate or government computers that cannot use IM at work because, of course, they are only a User, not an Administrator.
This article is on a demonstration park for a culinary school on 12 new tropical fruit trees for Kona, Hawaii. It is a project from Western Sustainable Ag Research and Extension, with cooperation from USDA-NRCS.
The first two paragraphs state ==>
" Farmers in Hawaii are learning about new crop options and conservation strategies from an ambitious new project known as “12 Trees,” a demonstration site featuring a dozen tropical tree fruits with commercial potential. The SARE-funded project, which has been embraced by the community for its uniqueness as well as its unexpected status as a tourist destination, received a boost when California NRCS District Conservationist Jeff Knowles joined the team managing the site. "
" To start, farmer and organizer Ken Love solicited input from chefs to identify 12 tropical tree fruits, such as loquat, pomegranate, mysore berry, tropical apricot, figs and more, that show commercial potential. Then, project leaders and volunteers planted trees on a demonstration site where farmers and researchers could learn about production methods -- and tourists and local residents could come to see, taste and buy unusual fruits.

Blogs from Vox.com can be more useful for extension because a YouTube video can be imported.
Thus any farmer who can surf the web can see a farm science video on YouTube with a click of the mouse. The farmer really needs fast internet with a new computer to see this.
