Who Loves You?

The journey from the Earth to the Moon is one of the pivotal events in the history of the human race. The words, “A small step for man, a giant leap for mankind”, uttered by Astronaut Neil Armstrong on taking his first step on the Moon are instantly recognized around the world.

In our relationships, when faced with making a commitment and showing our true feelings it’s very much like making a journey to the Moon. The debate rages around fear of commitment and who says what first. Tremendous energy, time and space is being dedicated to analyzing when to say “I love you” and what to do depending on the other persons response. There are even strategies for trying to say “I love you”, without actually saying it! These three little words are so loaded with meaning, that after saying “I love you”, we might as well add, “three small words for mankind, a giant leap for me...” Once you say these three magic words the world does indeed change for the two people involved.

If it’s such a difficult thing to say and has such consequences, then why do people continue to say it? The answer is that the basis for a true romantic relationship is sincere and mutual commitment. We all have a fundamental need to be loved, a love that is beyond the love of parents, siblings and friends. Everybody needs to be loved and to love somebody. The sum of the creative works of humanity is a testament to mankind’s need for love.

The problem arises when one or both of the people in a relationship are not in love with each other. If they can be honest with themselves and each other, then they can establish that the basis of the relationship is something other than love and avoid making a commitment. If people could do this and easily have relationships without love, then most of the relationship advice industry would very quickly run out of work. The reality is that at least one person in every relationship thinks that the relationship is based on love or at some point has the chance of being so.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, there is no easy way to get around saying “I love you”, unless one is great liar or an Oscar winning actor. If in doubt, you can try saying the following lines while looking in the mirror and feel the truth for yourself:

“I like you”
“You mean so much to me”
“I really like you”
“You make feel special”

“I love you”

Feel the difference? The truth has a resonance that is very difficult to fake and, when it comes to love, you can bet everybody’s senses are tuned in at maximum sensitivity. When you are ready and truly say “I love you” to somebody this entails many things. To mention a few implications, it’s expected that you’re sincere, that you’ll be faithful and that you’ve given this matter some thought. Your statement is said with conviction about your feelings and in the hope that the other person can reciprocate your love, but it is by no means an expectation or obligation on the other person. This is the scary part about love, the fear of saying “I love you” and then hearing a very long and painful silence afterwards. The fear of this results in many people never being able to say what they feel.

For those people who are truly in love, not saying “I love you” to their loved one leaves them feeling empty and unfulfilled. Sometimes it’s not the response that’s important but the conviction which enables one to say “I love you”. The belief that you have found the right person and to have the emotion of love flowing in your heart is a feeling that’s central to the meaning of life and for many worth the risk of unrequited love. As St. Augustine said, “Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all”.

Who loves you? The answer is simple; it’s the person who has the conviction to say “I love you” and then lives up to all that these three words entail.

Move Over, Tony Soprano: Play Free Games Like Mafia 1930

ove over, Tony Soprano - there's a new game in town. Mafia 1930 is one of a growing number of free games on the Internet that captures our fascination with the Underworld. Mafia games are rat-a-tat-tatting in popularity, and Mafia 1930 is a free game that has wannabe capos plotting dastardly deeds. Here's the scenario: It's January 1, 1930. You are an immigrant who has arrived in the U.S. from overseas. In your home country you were a nobody. You managed to scrape together the money for the voyage to this land of boundless opportunity. You arrive in this vast city, this vast country, with high hopes. Every door is open to you and your dream is to make it rich. But reality rears its ugly head and the law of the jungle prevails. Society is corrupt. Prohibition has been in force for more than a decade.
Powerful Mafia cartels have formed, making their money from smuggling and running alcohol. They control everything - the bars, the police, politics, and the unions. Since no one is going to offer you a chance, you must seize opportunity for yourself, ruthlessly and without scruples. The law no longer applies to you or to the others who have money, power, and standing. You must earn power, money, and respect by becoming the most powerful Mafia boss of all time. In this Mafia game, you begin with a bankroll of $300. You invest in it personnel who can, in turn, make a profit for you. This mafia-game allows you to enter into a number of tawdry trades, ranging from gambling and prostitution to smuggling and running a speakeasy. You have your own District, but your goal is to shoulder your way in and take over other districts. In this way, you accumulate districts and rise in the mafiagame ranks. You can search through the mafiagames Families and apply to join a Family. Nothing's guaranteed, though - you have to pass muster and pay a hefty fee to join. For even more money, you can form your own family and have others pay you to become members. Ruthlessness and an entrepreneurial spirit will help you realize your dream in these free games. Before you know it, playing this mafia game online may earn you the coveted rank of Grand Padrone, and you will oversee 200 Districts. In the meantime, you can enjoy playing a Mafiosi, Don, Grand Don, Godfather, Grand Godfather, or Padrone.

Local Security


Out of all the different ways an intruder can access your computer, local access is the most promising way to circumvent your security. If a person has local access to a computer, it is only a matter of time before the data on the computer will be extracted.



However, protecting your computer against local attacks is also easy and only takes a few minutes. First, put a password on your BIOS configuration. Typically, it involves pressing Esc, Tab, F1, or some other key to access the BIOS configuration. From there, the configuration menu should have a tab about security. Open the tab about security and choose a decent password (there are hints about choosing a good password later on). Also, set the computer to boot up from the hard drive first, and do not let it try to boot from the A:\ drive or the CD-ROM drive. The reason why it shouldn’t attempt to read the A:\ or CD-ROM drive is that an intruder could use a CD-ROM bootable O.S. like Knoppix to steal your password, even though a BIOS password is set. Now save the changes and exit.



Now to set a password on your accounts on Windows operating systems:



For NT and XP users: Make sure your administrative account has a password on it. Also, put a password on any other accounts you have and disable the guest account.


For 95, 98, and ME users: The security offered on these platforms is insufficient for the protection of your data. The best option for these platforms would be to rely on other forms of protection, such as encryption.
