<h2>What is an EV SSL Certificate?<br />
    </h2>
<p>Extended Validation or &quot;EV&quot; is the new standard developed and agreed upon by the major <br />
      Certificate Authorities (like GeoTrust&reg; and VeriSign&reg;) and the major browser vendors to authenticate and issue next-generation SSL certificates.</p>
<p>EV SSL certificates help protect your site from phishing scams and assure your customers that <br />
      they are dealing with a business or organization that has been thoroughly checked out using the New EV standard.</p>

<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Mad Joe Swooshes The Pie Shop &#8211; </strong></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Written By Gerry Cullen, February  18, 2010<span id="more-411"></span></span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The little airplane  skimmed over the restaurant&#8217;s roof, missing the peaks by a foot or two. I heard the roaring engine before I saw it. The plane was coming fast. I looked up at its belly as it flashed over my head, maybe twelve feet away. I was the only person in the restaurant&#8217;s parking lot.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Diving more steeply after  crossing the restaurant, the blue and white plane passed between two pole lights in the restaurant&#8217;s parking lot, brushed the trees between the lights, crossed the six lane freeway below and exploded into an office building. All this in a second or two.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Death by a random  airplane crash has not been on my list of things to worry about. Until today. Today a airplane almost wiped me out.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">An unhappy local pilot  decided to suicide bomb a local IRS office using his airplane. He set his house on fire with his wife and cat inside, drove to the airport and fired up his Piper Cherokee. Fifteen minutes later he sailed over me and vaporized himself and an IRS employee.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Good thing for me this  lunatic was a competent pilot.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Accurately diving a  Cherokee at high speed with full throttle takes above-average piloting skill. The higher the speed, the controls become far more sensitive; tiny control changes will cause big flight path changes. I know because I used to teach flying in Cherokees.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If Joseph Stack had made  one tiny bad control movement he easily could have hit the pie shop&#8217;s roof. A slightly larger control mistake or turbulence would have put him in the restaurant parking lot where I was standing. Either way, I would have been covered in burning gas and plane parts.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But no.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mad Joe skillfully  screamed over me and he pitched the Cherokee&#8217;s nose further down to hit the lowest floor of the building  He arrived squarely at the center of the first floor windows about two hundred and fifty feet from where I was standing. There was no wind that morning and his screaming passage blew a slight puff of wind at me and then a reversal of pressure. I later remembered that feeling from standing on a subway platform as an express train clacked by.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Still  alone at the pie shop&#8217;s parking lot, I stood on the curb, holding my car key. Not a lot of people eat breakfast there.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When the plane hit, the  office building&#8217;s mirrored windows shuddered and warped causing a temporary fun-house distortion to their normal reflections. The  plane&#8217;s impact shock hit me like an soft, overall body punch. I wondered what happened to the office workers. The pie shop workers later told me that their whole building shook.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In a fraction of a second  a bright orange and black fireball ballooned smokily from the airplane&#8217;s  entry hole. Windows steadily blew out from the first story and, oddly, pink pieces of fiberglass insulation began to swirl and climb in the heat of the fire. Venetian blinds fluttered out. A necklace of dark orange fire appeared where the windows were missing.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The freeway traffic below  continued.    I looked around and was still apparently the only observer. My hands were shaking but I decided to report the crash. It was hard to stop looking at the growing fire climb up the building.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just as the fire reached the second floor a passing police car stopped on the access road. The officer got out and called someone on his cell phone. I wondered if he was as surprised and I was.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Four minutes later,  several fire trucks showed up and the firemen began climbing the limestone retaining wall to enter the building. Freeway drivers began to stop to see what the firemen were doing and the freeway quickly shut down. The building burned until late afternoon.</span></span></p>
<p lang="ru-RU"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">No  more pie shop breakfasts. There&#8217;s a coffee shop about a mile up the freeway, nestled between a Big Lots Store and an HEB Supermarket. The freeway overpass protects coffee shop from a northern attack. I&#8217;m safer there.</span></span></p>

<li>Copy and paste the following text into the text area (If your store is not ‘s01’ then you should update the query to reflect the correct store). This query checks to see that there is information in the Image1 URL. If there is no data in that field then it will not export the data</li>
<p><code>SELECT *<br />
FROM s01_ADS_IEProdImgs,s01_Products<br />
WHERE s01_ADS_IEProdImgs.id = s01_Products.id<br />
and s01_ADS_IEProdImgs.img1 &gt; '0'</code></p>
<li>When the results are displayed scroll to the bottom and click ‘export’</li>
<li>If you use Excel then use the following settings:
<ul>
<li>CSV for MS Excel</li>
<li>Check ‘put field names in the first row</li>
<li>Check save as file</li>
<li>Click go</li>
<li>Save the file to your computer and you can then open it in MS Excel, edit it, then import it using the ADS Image Extra Import utility.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Matt Cutts, from the Google &#8220;Search Quality Team&#8221;, officially denies that google uses the meta keywords tag in its algorithm that creates web rank. According to Matt you could leave the meta keywords tag out of your page and it would not make a lick of difference. Even though those are my words and not his that is certainly what he meant.<br />
The video below was posted on the <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/google-does-not-use-keywords-meta-tag.html">Webmaster Central Blog</a>. According to the article and logic there is no way to overuse or under use a keyword in that tag. Matt Cutts says, &#8220;At least for Google we do not use that information in our ranking even the least little bit&#8221;. I beleive him.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up until now it seems that even non PCI Compliant versions of Miva Merchant were not getting flagged by some PCI Compliance scannig agencies such as SecurityMetrics. We came across a site that was being flagged as having &#8216;Possible blind sql injection&#8217; and it was followed by a bunch links to the merchant Miva Merchant store.  Often times the PCI Compliance scanners do raise false positives and in fact this is one of those times but  simply running the latest streaming update from Miva within the Miva Merchant admin allowed this site to pass the scan. Your other option is to contact your PCI scanning company and alert them that this is a false positive and hopefully they comply. You should check with a Miva specialist to make sure the streaming updates will not conflict with any modules or customization that have been made to your store. It is also good practice to check that your additional modules are updated to the latest versions as well.</p>
<p><strong>ALERT:</strong> Security Metrics PCI Compliance Scanning is now picking up on non-compliant versions of Miva Merchant.</p>
<p><strong>SOLUTION: </strong>Stream the latest Miva Merchant updates from the Miva Admin (If it has been a while since the last time you ran the updates and your store is customized you may want to check with your web master or Miva Specialist before running the updates).</p>
<p><strong>Problem Summary per Security Metrics: </strong><br />
Possible blind sql injection on http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=100&amp;Current_Product_Code=&amp;Store_Code=NTFL&amp;Screen=OINF&amp;Offset=&amp;Attributes=Yes&amp;%3FAction=ADPR style=&#8221;display: none;&#8221;&gt; wp &#8211;bsql &#8220;http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=100&amp;Current_Product_Code=&amp;Store_Code=NTFL&amp;Screen=OINF&amp;Offset=&amp;Attributes=Yes&amp;%3FAction=ADPR&#8221; &#8220;http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=100&amp;Current_Product_Code=&amp;Store_Code=NTFL&amp;Screen=OINF+and+1%3D1&amp;Offset=&amp;Attributes=Yes&amp;%3FAction=ADPR&#8221; &#8220;http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Category_Code=100&amp;Current_Product_Code=&amp;Store_Code=NTFL&amp;Screen=OINF+and+1%3D0&amp;Offset=&amp;Attributes=Yes&amp;%3FAction=ADPR&#8221; POST cat &lt;&lt;EOF &gt; bsql.sh curl -L -d &#8220;Category_Code=100&amp;Current_Product_Code=&amp;Store_Code=NTFL&amp;Screen=OINF&amp;Offset=&amp;Attributes=Yes&amp;%3FAction=ADPR&#8221; &#8220;http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/merchant</p>
