Chrome adds reset prompt in Windows to combat hijacking

Browser hijacking is an annoying sort of malicious activity that often spawns from downloading toolbars or freeware of some sort, the end result being a messed up browser and trouble regaining control. Late last year, Chromescored a "Reset browser settings" button, something Google has decided to take up a notch for Windows users.
In a blog post last week, Chrome announced that Windows users with the latestbrowser version will now get a prompt whenever the browser settings have been changed, giving them the option to click a "reset" button to revert the changes or a "no thanks" button to keep them. Those unaware of the reset option in Settings will now have it brought directly to their attention.
Of course, resetting comes with its own hassles, though nothing as bothersome as dealing with malicious software. Performing a reset will nuke any themes, extensions, and apps you have installed on the browser, which will need to be manually reactivated in the Extensions menu.
Google warns that some malicious hijacking programs are designed so that a second hijacking will take place after the first is reversed. If that takes place, users are encouraged to head into Google's Chrome help forums, and to also utilize the reset button under Settings if something seems amiss but the prompt doesn't appear.

Best Free Browser Scrubber

Introduction When you browse the web you accumulate a huge amount of stored data. The sheer quantity is surprising; often gigabytes. Just what is and what isn't junk is a personal decision. For example, I regard the information stored in my browser's history as a valuable resource, but I know that many see it as clutter. That's why the flexibility to choose exactly what you want to keep or delete is a key requirement. Discussion CCleanerIf you exclusively use either Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari, then CCleaner is my top pick. It took the lead in version 2.0 with a complete rewrite including the ability to exclude specific files, folders and registry keys from the cleaning process. There are many other applications that provide the ability to clean up browsers and your system, but when you take into account CCleaner's customizability, speed, ease of use, it's near-forensic thoroughness, portability and the number of applications it can keep clean, then you have a clear winner. In addition to keeping your browser clean, it does a great job cleaning up your entire computer including: Windows temporary files and Windows registry, with an improved Add/Remove program interface, portability to run from a flash drive and the ability to completely erase your tracks by providing delete options to overwrite deleted files. It is updated frequently adding more and more support for new applications. See the related review Best Free File Cleaner for additional information on CCleaner. Caution: One drawback of CCleaner is that it lacks the integrated ability to undo, create a checkpoint, or even backup prior to removing files or making changes. This is not a problem if you regularly backup or image your system but it can be easily overcome by using one of the many applications that exist for this purpose. For most users the easiest way to do this is to create a system restore point. Comodo System CleanerAnother great pick for power users is Comodo System Utilities. People who want to have control of every aspect of their browser are going to love this as there are options to clean things which other cleaners don't, like favorites and bookmarks. This may be useful if you are using a shared or public computer and want to clear all your tracks. Users must however, be very careful and watch what they delete to prevent removing something they later need like browser history. Nonetheless, never fear as there is a back up feature, something that CCleaner does not include. One drawback is that the system must be restarted after cleaning which can be a pain. However, the settings can be changed so that a restart is not needed, but this may be something you would not like to do as it turns off one of the three backup features—registry protection. The other two backup features are to create a restore point before cleaning and back up files before cleaning. These backup features included in Comodo System Utilities restored all my files and settings except for my saved website passwords so it is by no means perfect.Comodo System Utilities only supports Internet Explorer at the moment unless users are willing to update the application manually which requires users to delete a certain ini file and then update the application list manual. This will put some people off. There is much more to this product than just a browser cleaner, there is also a registry cleaner, disk cleaner, secure file wiper, system tweaker and system information. The system tweaker and information tools are a nice addition allowing users to tweak certain system settings and to view advanced system information. The disc cleaner and registry cleaner like the privacy cleaner should be used with caution. I would not recommend the registry cleaner as it found way too many entries for my liking and you would need a considerable level of system knowledge to interpret these correctly. As always with registry cleaners make a backup before hand. If you have a problem with Comodo System Utilities there is a forum dedicated to it over at Comodo Forum. The staff over there are very helpful and quick to answer any query that you may have.

Best Free PC Cleaner

Introduction Over time unnecessary files accumulate, which can be removed with a disk cleaner. Discussion My first choice here is CCleaner, a product that started off as pretty basic but has continued to improve to the point where it is now very close to the best in its class regardless of price. It's very effective in freeing up disk space by removing unused and temporary files, cookies, Recycle bin entries, Windows hot-fix files, history and cache files in many applications such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari and hundreds of others. Note you can configure preferences for browser cookies that you want to keep during a clean (in case you don't want to delete them all), which is a convenient feature for many users. You can define custom rules to include or exclude files, folders or registry keys from cleaning (Temp folders are a good candidate to include), You can wipe free (unused) space from the disk (including MFT data), and CCleaner supports secure deletion of data (1, 3, 7 to Guttman 35 passes). There are options to extend CCleaner adding new programs for software that doesn't come with the base install. Some of these options are explained in the Documentation You can also remove options (programs) that you do not want to be cleaned from the list of available programs that can be cleaned. The options can include adding to or removed from the built in detections that come with the base CCleaner install. This flexibility I have not yet seen in any comparable file cleaning tool. CCleaner has been around for many years, and over that time it has been more actively developed than any other file cleaner software. (It's not unusual to see a new release every 4 weeks). Piriform release new versions to support new software when it comes out (like new versions of the major browsers) and with features to support changes to the operating system - eg. When Windows 7 was released support for cleaning "Taskbar Jump Lists", and even using "Jump Lists" and Windows 7 style progress bars in their CCleaner. The CCleaner Version History lists the new features and fixes introduced with each release Many other file cleaner products were developed for Win2000 or WinXP and haven't seen an update since. If you are running the latest OS, Browser or Office Suite etc - it is best to use software that was developed and tested with the latest software that you are using. I would like to see a tutorial or wizard for first time users when they run CCleaner. Too often the complaints that CCleaner deleted something it shouldn't, turn out to be the user isn't too familiar with what the options mean or what the impact of cleaning temp files and settings from their system. Even selecting every possibly option should still not damage windows in any way - as CCleaner is very conservative in what it will remove, but for some first time users, running CCleaner can seem to be a scary step to take. However, if simply freeing up disk space is your objective then CCleaner is hard to beat. A good companion to CCleaner is Empty Temp Folders. It's not as complete a product as CCleaner and it's been a while since it was last updated, but I find that it always manages to clean more temporary files than CCleaner. That's why I suggest you use both. Another cleaner with a solid following is Steven Gould's CleanUP!. It's compact, well designed and very well maintained and is a real alternative to CCleaner. In use I've had a couple instances which caused problems on my test PC, but this may have been specific to my setup. Certainly the feedback I get from users has been uniformly excellent. In a related category is PC Decrapifier. Its job is to remove unwanted trial versions of programs and services that come preinstalled on new PCs. You can remove all this stuff manually, but PC Decrapifier does this automatically. It can't remove every bit of junk from every computer, but the list of products it will remove is quite impressive.

Best Free Tune-up Program For Computer

Introduction PC tune-up utilities are a great way to get a performance bump for personal computers without upgrading hardware. They can repair issues that lead to instability, and help make a computer more secure by removing traces of personal information. PC tune-up utilities should be part of your overall PC maintenance strategy, which should also include a firewall, anti-malware, anti-virus and a defragmenter. This category will focus on tune-up utility suites. These utility suites are a collection of modules which address most common problem areas and or potential trouble spots found on PCs. While some suites focus on data cleanup, some provide continual monitoring and real-time system statistics like monitoring CPU temperature and RAM usage. The common thread with all these suites are their abilities to clean temp files, remove incorrect registry entries, ensure privacy by deleting traces of information left by Internet sessions and more. For the purpose of these reviews, the focus will be on the ease of use, and how effective a utility is using a one-click feature. All the software reviewed here was tested while installed at the same time. I didn’t detect any incompatibilities between them or other programs. We at Gizmo’s like to keep in mind not all users are created equal. Therefore the major consideration in the ranking is how simple a program is to use yet remain effective. The advanced features are secondary. The user can determine their own expertise and whether or not to delve into the advanced functions. If you have never tuned up your PC, then you should see a real improvement in speed and responsiveness the first time you run these programs. However, on subsequent runs the improvement may be less noticeable, if at all, but it is still a good idea to run them regularly. Caution: These programs make changes to system files. Before you start with any tune-up programs there are important steps you should always take to help prevent problems and provide a way to recover if anything should happen. Prevention can be your most valuable tool. Create a Windows system restore point. Have a recent back up of your critical data. Read about the utility, review the documentation, become familiar with the automatic vs. manual modes before running. Discussion Prelude All the programs tested offer similar features. My first objective was to test them against each other to determine which programs removed the most data using the one-click option. While CCleaner performed admirably (comparable to Glary), it lacked the one-click feature and the additional suite options so it wasn't included in my list. All of the programs reviewed are suitable for the novice user. 360Amigo and ToolWiz removed the most data in my tests. Glary is the best on-demand program performing the fastest one-click clean with good results. Discussion 360Amigo is an impressive program for being in it's first version. When the home screen appears, simply select start scan. A nice default feature is the smart defragmenter to help keep the hard drive defragmented with each scan. The fastest way to launch a scan and repair is from the tray icon. Right click the icon then click "one click cleanup" and 360Amigo will open, scan and clean in one simple step. Since this program is a limited version of the paid version, there are features that are disabled. On the home screen these are listed as Exclusive features. I do like the System Information window though it's not really relevant to the scan. This feature does minimize as a small toolbar on the Windows Desktop by right clicking the tray icon and selecting "show toolbar in the desktop". 360Amigo does offer custom settings on the System Cleaner, System Optimizer and Tools tabs or simply selecting settings by each of the categories on the Home tab under Cleanup. For the novice user I recommend the default settings. As with all of these suites, I recommend reviewing the settings menu to turn off any undesirable features like reminders, updates, launch on startup, etc. ToolWiz Care in appearance is somewhat similar to 360Amigo. The main tab called Checkup offers the one-click feature, system resource information, and some optional features. Since there is no paid version to upgrade too, all the features are functional, unlike 360Amigo. On the downside the program is missing any help to learn all the fancy bells and whistles. The GUI interface is clean and colorful. The program loads quickly and performs smoothly. The tray icon provides many options from a right click popup menu including the floating toolbar. Hover your mouse over the toolbar to see system resource information. The toolbar says "Time Freeze is Off". Time freeze works like a sandbox. If you're not sure what a sandbox is, read this article. On the right edge of the tool bar is an icon called screen capture. It's like the Window's 7 Snipping Tool. Screen Capture will let you capture parts of your screen to save as a picture image, or edit in the ToolWiz Picture Editor. This program has a lot of useful features, some not particularly related to system cleaning so I won't review them, but they could be worth checking out. As a one-click cleaning tool ToolWiz is very good. While I appreciate the fact ToolWiz is free and the developer doesn't solicite donations, the lack of help and support can leave the novice user floundering with all the gadgets. Glary will launch by default upon installation. When the main screen appears it starts on the overview tab. Select the 1-Click Maintenance tab, select the Tracks Eraser then scan for issues. I feel Glary is the best on-demand cleaner. Once you've performed the 1-click scan and repair Glary will remember this setting and alway start here. For future scans open the program, click scan, click repair and its done. The fastest of the suites by far. Glary will clean as good as CCleaner with greater simplicity. Click the "Show Details" links next to the "Problems Found" to easily see what was scanned and removed. This program also adds a lot to the startup process, so I recommend adjusting the options in the settings menu. The Advanced Tools tab is for the more experienced user, offering additional features and custom settings. This can be a dangerous area for the novice, so use caution. There are also additional advanced settings by selecting the icons at the bottom of the window. Again I urge caution for the novice. Glary doesn't provide a floating status of the system resource use like the other programs in the category.

Holiday Stoner Gift Guide

Holiday Stoner Gift Guide

Holiday presents for the potheads you love
Bong BuddyBong BuddyIt's the gift-giving season, and there's nothing like sharing a puff and presents with the people you love!
Big and small, pricey and cheap, here are some goodies for the cannaphile in your life who doesn't quite have everything. Please note that the prices indicated are in US currency.
The Original Buddy
This is a great new invention. In combination with cleaning liquid, the magnetic scrubber tool cleaned all the impossible-to-reach places of my bong I could never get to. It's surprisingly simple and very effective, so I give Original Buddy a big thumbs up. It's a perfect stocking stuffer! Comes in different colors, like hot pink for your hot girlfriend. Retail priced around $10.
Hot BoxHot BoxHot Box Vaporizer
When we first saw this new vaporizer, we had low expectations. How good could it be? It's basically a ceramic tile box, a tube, and a mouthpiece. Well, despite being accustomed to the Volcano, our test group was surprised by the very effective yet simplistic nature of the Hot Box. The vapor was fresh, powerful, and full of flavor. It was a direct, clean hit of pure THC. I immediately got my own Hot Box for home. It's a great gift, especially for your non-smoking cannabis fan! Retail priced around $200.
The Veg-a-pipe
As seen in our CC issue 56 review, the Veg-a-pipe is almost a stoner essential. At any time, in any place, you can construct a pipe out of almost any kind of fruit or vegetable. Travelers, tourists, students, and closet-tokers alike can all make use of the basic inconspicuous tools. If you aren't able to invest in a glass pipe or quality smoking device, be sure to pick up this super handy kit. Another awesome stocking stuffer! Priced around $8 - $10.
Extractor 1000
It's quite a production compared to the original hashmaking Bubblebags or the Bubbleator, and it's pricey at $750, but it did produce the tastiest full-melt bubblehash of any method we tried. The blender appliance that is part of the Extractor 1000 is a bit awkward to use, and overall, it's not as convenient as other hash extracting methods, but the results are very sweet and nearly worth the trouble.
No Extradition teesNo Extradition teesTemp Gun
Ranged in price from $25 to $45 depending on the size and features, these temp guns can measure the heat leaking out of your grow room. They allow you to make improvements, preventing detection by police using thermal imaging technology.
No Extradition t-shirts
If you want to buy a gift that can support Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams in their fight against extradition to the USA, this is the item to get! The shirts are made of comfortable cotton. They are available in red, bright green, black or white. You can also get girls' fitted tees in comfortable stretch cotton. Available in red, pink, black or gray. The familiar "No Extradition" logo is featured on the front ? guaranteed to be a conversation starter! Express your love of cannabis and freedom by sporting this t-shirt, and help raise funds for the legal battle in the process! $29 each.
The Koota Game
"The most exciting and fun board game to be released since Woodstock," reads the website, "the Koota Game has it all ? psychedelic artwork, massive tri-fold gaming area and more action and laughs than any other game!" It's about pot, but the game has enough warnings on the box to induce a bout of paranoia: "Smoking is a health hazard", "The bongs and cones referred to in this game are for tobacco use only; the Koota is a completely fictitious herb, any resemblance to other combustibles is entirely co-incidental." Takes away some of the fun, we think. Priced at $35 - $45
Reefer magnetsReefer magnetsReefer Magnets
These magnets, available for $2 each, show your love for cannabis. They feature quotes, cartoons, buds, and funny one-liners. Stick them on your fridge, in your school locker, in the bathroom stall at work ? wherever they'll go! Perfect, cheap, and fun gifts for your bud buddies. (Hilarious dress-up George W. Bush magnet set available online too!)
Volcano vaporizerVolcano vaporizerThe Volcano
Absolutely the top-of-the line when it comes to vaporizers. With German technology and a 3-year warranty, you are guaranteed to be satisfied ? and totally impressed ? by the efficiency and effectiveness of the Volcano. It has been featured at every major cannabis event, and is a mainstay of most pot-related establishments. Medicinal marijuana users have found it to be one of the best ways to ingest their cannabis, and the vapor bag also enables groups of friends to enjoy their marijuana recreationally. A wonderful gift for anyone! $725.
Suru Board
This is a very good concept. Instead of attempting to roll joints on a floppy magazine or a small CD cover, you can comfortably lay back with a cushioned rolling tray on your lap. The solid wooden top, with grooves for holding herb or finished joints, is fixed to a bean-bag-like pillow that conforms to whatever surface you have to use. There are secret side pockets for papers or lighters, and you can't go wrong with the classy fabric and color choices! At only $30, this is a steal for serious smokers.
BUSTED! The Book by Chris Fabricant
Marc was reading this sobering book when he was busted by the DEA on July 29! It's a terrific read on several levels. For those involved in the "mother business", it details exactly what you need to know to understand the legal consequences of being a drug user or supplier. On another level, you are horrified to see how much of a police state the USA has become. New York criminal lawyer Fabricant is in no way sentimental, but painfully candid. Robert Crumb cartoons provide wry gallows humor to the most essential book released for our culture in recent times. Get this! $15.
The Bubbleator
Looks like a sleek, contemporarily designed vacuum cleaner that takes very little space. A beautiful appliance that extracts the trichomes off cold, dry pot plants. Very light and portable, with good results. Comes in indoor and outdoor models. $275 usd. Available in 110 volt North American models now exclusively through Green Harvest.
Legalize bandsLegalize bandsLegalize Wristbands
Marijuana lovers unite! By sporting this soft, comfortable green wristband, imprinted with the word "Legalize" and two pot leaf icons, you are supporting marijuana people and reform all over the globe. Many activists in the marijuana movement wear these as a sign of solidarity. You too should proudly don the green band of freedom. A portion of the $5 cost (or less when bought in bulk for rallies and events) is donated to the legal defense fees of the BC3, thanks to the generosity of the distributor!
Bud Inc.Bud Inc.Bud Inc. by Ian Mulgrew

We're just ordinary great folks. Released Canada-wide on November 8th, 2005. HarperCollins publishing, $35 hardcover.

How to be a Weed Dealer

How to be a Weed Dealer

Overgrowing the consumer market!
Selling marijuana isn't difficult, but dealing successfully is.
Distributing can be as easy as handing out bud business cards, or wearing a "The Dealer Is In" t-shirt in an area known for scoring green. Picking up for several friends when you're out buying - known to some as the Deadhead way to smoke for free - is the most common entry into the business. This method won't make cash and often creates losses, but if done properly the price of your own chronic use should come down. Successfully dealing as a sole source of income requires savvy. Don't anticipate one big transaction with mucho coin. Like growers, many distributors see large wads of cash and manage it poorly. Twenty grand is considered a small amount amongst big "playas", but that's 10 pounds with about 10 to 15 percent return upon turnover.
Those with the big bucks all began on the lowest level and learned how to avoid being caught by the fuzz to make their float. There's no guarantee you won't spend time behind jail cell bars; whether you sell dime bags or pounds, there's always risk involved - hence the money. Prohibition is the reason behind the markup on cannabis, but it is the right of the people to break unjust laws. Marijuana selling keeps plenty of people employed. Many folks who are underpaid and overworked have turned to grass distributing to make ends meet. Some have little opportunity other than a McJob.
According to the cops themselves, cannabis is an economic engine in the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario, Canada, where there's no formal method of getting into this billion-dollar industry. No one is placing classified ads. No resume is required. The best trait to have is common sense. Having a good head on your shoulders limits risks, so trust your instincts, and don?t be stoner stoopid, like spending your re-stock money, or wearing "bling" and gangster threads when you're carrying cash or quantity. Cops, I assure you, will stop you.
Do not have a lot of girlfriends. Even one is risky. People do crazy shit over "love" and jealousy or betrayal. It's a truism that any grower or dealer can relate to if they've been around in the business. Love turns to hate, greed or vengeance at the most awkward of times.
Ten Steps To Selling Cannabis
1. Smoking Free is Good For Me
2. Smoked Out of Business
3. My Friend?s Bad Credit
4. University Students Buy in $10 & $20 Lots
5. The Connoisseur Market
6. Bulk Buying and Bulk Selling
7. Just In Time Delivery
8. Location, Hours and Customer Service
9. Pot Karma, Dude
10. Dad, I?m In Jail
1. Smoking Free Is Good For Me
Everyone has a few friends who have problems hooking up. Or maybe the herb you're buying is primo and they're buying Mexican brick weed, so your three best friends give you money and all want a quarter-ounce. You score an ounce for $180, break it into quarters, and sell to the three pals for $60. You're smoking free.
But sometimes they hang around a little too long, and want to smoke a little too much of your stash. That's why call display is critical to weed out those annoying stoners who repeatedly harass - like guys who will call you to buy a gram, five different times a day. Just buy a quarter ounce at one time, please!
2. Smoked Out of Business
Unfortunately, the smoking free plan has a major Achilles heel. Say the third fellow is late picking up their quarter stash, and you've already smoked your quarter. This spoken-for quarter - that you just paid for - is sitting in your fridge amongst your vegetables.
And you're jonesing. Not for the vegetables. Two days later this stoner finally inquires about the quarter; but unlike the milk at the back of the fridge, it's long gone by now. It'll always be a bad scenario when you don't have money to buy another ounce, and instead of toking free you end up smoking yourself out of business.
"Don't get high off your own supply." - Scarface
3. My Friend's Bad Credit
Establishing a line of credit for the business is dangerous in many ways, especially when starting out. Giving ganja for IOUs is as risky as getting high on your own supply! Relates Vancouver delivery dealer SneakyD: "My homeboy's got a list three pages long of people who owe him. Its so true man." It's very awkward once you are in the situation of being bank and dealer.
Known as "fronting", a line of credit can turn worse than a trailer-park-familybrawl on the Springer set. At what point do you get heavy with a friend for owing money on their smoke? And do you? Marijuana people are a pretty docile bunch. Everyone in the business has the story of the friend who became too irresponsible, or the long-time friend who no longer comes around because they owe amounts as a little as $60. In many cases, the creditor would rather have that person just chill until times get better. However, many want to ring up more credit, but don't allow this to happen either. Ending the line of credit is the best way to resolve the problem, so be prepared to write the amount off.
The money lost is profit pissed away on someone you may have called "brother" or "sister". For some they're actual blood. What amount they can reach before getting cut off at the trough is really a personal decision based on your own financial situation.
4. University Students Buy in $10 & $20 Lots
"Homey, I sell an ounce worth of dimes a day at Brock."
The Phatboy is proud that his post-secondary education is already paying for itself through petty selling on the local university campus. He's a hilarious business major who moves small amounts during class - for party money mostly - then flips a few quarter- pounders off campus... and I'm not talking McDonalds.
The Phatboy is exploiting the university market with dime bags, which is what most students are looking for. These reefer rookies don't need anything more than a few bong hits to last the afternoon. But of course campus transactions come with many pot pitfalls, such as campus police. Often times, security students looking for work experience roam the expansive school grounds, so you should spend plenty of time scoping out discreet transacting spots. Do some ground work on campus before the term begins if possible. Take the campus tour two dozen times - or better yet, in second year begin hosting the tour. How about an alternative toker tour of the campus? In September, go where pot smokers celebrate 4:20 every afternoon, or find a safe haven to take your new cannabis clients to.
Keeping a quarter pound at the dorm is reckless. Those White House drug warriors smack stoner students around by ripping up scholarships - another reason students purchase in small amounts. Get involved in campus life to meet stoners. After tuition and books, use your remaining student loan to purchase a load of grass. Find an offcampus location to store larger amounts and bring in as needed. Keep in mind steps one and two. Fall is not only the time to return to school, but harvest too, which drops the price of pot.
If it's pointed out to the Phatboy that 28 dime bags in his blue baggy sweat pants is evidence of transacting, he can use a good old excuse: "What, you don't buy an ounce this way? I asked for an ounce and this is what he gave me. Cost me $300. How else do you buy an ounce?"
5. The Connoisseur Market
If you've got beautiful wellmanicured herb, demanding more money is perfectly acceptable. Tokers with coin will spend on quality herb. This is more evident in the American market than it is in Canada. Canadians aren't bartering- type people; the price is the price to most of them.
There's a vast difference between Hamilton, Ontario's sewer weed ($50 1/4 at Ferguson Station) and gorgeous Humboldt green, thus there is a difference in the price. Sewer weed makes up the majority of supply in every town, but there's a high possibility that someone is smoking fantastic herb, somewhere. However, that toker may only have enough for a personal stash because of their limited four-plant grow room.
Given the small quantity, this great green isn't common in your market but the best dealing herb is most likely in your town. You need to locate these fine spliff specimens. Developing this elite market is not only about who you know, but also depends on the size of your customer's wallet. If your customers can only afford commercial but they bitch about it, tough schwag! Finetasting, well-cured, half-ounce buds cost money - unlike commercial, which is grown in vast quantities. Connoisseur isn't mass-produced. This makes quality grass expensive and difficult to obtain; it requires a "cannabis flair" to purchase.
6. Bulk Buying & Bulk Selling
Having "cannabis cool" or "cannabis chutzpah" is very necessary to be a hugely successful weed dealer. Some peeps are stoner stylin' while others are doobie dorks. People are attracted to cannabis cool when they're buying. The dealer by nature is a "source" of cool.
"There are four distinct states of being in the cannabis and marijuana society. There's cool, groovy, hip and square. If a square can figure out what is happening he can raise one notch and become hip. And if he can convince himself of what is happening then he becomes groovy. Groooovy. Then he can raise himself to the rank of cool. He can become one of those cool guys." - Dr. L. Ron Bumtwist (Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas)
Chances are if you're uncomfortable in the setting of buying fifty pounds a week, the wholesaler is going to sense you are in the state of "not cool". There's stress involved in high-volume transactions due to potential jail time. The movers and shakers who shift quantity not only have their own sense of fl air, they have developed a solid setup to move marijuana. Sophisticated networking is required. You don't move a ton of hashish out of the Middle East without savvy, smarts, and style.
A sharp mind and great memory are required to remember amounts, phone numbers, times and dates without keeping physical records. Write nothing down. If writing is required because of volume or technicalities, use a pocket size flip top notebook and destroy each page as transactions are completed. Invest in a paper shredder for cell phone bills and try to switch numbers often. Always count your money twice. A large amount of paper green is needed to obtain a few pounds of green. Nine times out ten this is acquired through doing business; very few start out shipping tons. Those too burned out won't be able to develop the sophisticated network required of volume dealing.
Regular mail in an envelope with postage is probably the safest form of communication, because firm legislation is in place regarding the unauthorized opening of private mail. If you think using code words is keeping the fuzz at bay when you use the phone or email, think again. Lingo isn't confusing anyone.
Info obtained from wiretaps isn't so much for reliable court evidence but to keep tabs on your movements. Invest in a PGP encryption for email - Hushmail and Gmail offer amazing privacy options. Funnily, folks tend to save their passwords via a "cookie" on their computer, and if this is you then you're really not cut out for volume. If you get busted, the fuzz doesn't even have to figure out your password as it's saved on your computer. Leave no trail.
7. Just In Time Delivery
In an effort to cut their inventories down to nothing, automotive manufacturers developed a system known as "Just In Time delivery." It's not that sophisticated of a plan, really, and works amazingly for cannabis.
As an example, parts from one automotive plant are timed to arrive at another plant only when they're needed at the next stage of car building. Thus no inventory is stored in warehouses. The goal is a seamless flow of parts without any hold-up. However, if one of the links in your chain is weak, then all havoc will break loose. The Big Three automakers have less worry about their delivery system than cannabis people will. There are always headaches when it comes to developing a seamless flow of cannabis business.
Your whole purchasing chain needs to be littered with professionals, not slackers. Keep as little inventory around as possible because it will be to your advantage if the DEA boot down your door. Have four people prepared to come over to buy their ounce within the half hour of the quarter pound arriving. If it's eight stoners, then you'll need a half-pound. Sixteen stoners is a pound; and on it goes. Throw in the "Payday" system and the cash register should really start ringing. Both "Just In Time" and "Payday" are perfectly suited to the connoisseur market. Develop a reputation where everyone knows you have amazing weed every Friday. Even commercial British Columbia dealers need to be fully stocked for the weekend. That's just a given! At Friday's five o'clock punch out, before everyone heads to clubs, concerts and parties, they're going straight to your place to buy a big ounce.
Keep a small amount during the week (personal stash). Make it sound like a hassle to scrounge up some on their behalf mid-week - and maybe it is, in your situation. Tell potential customers the best day to buy is Friday and over the weekend for you, and stock up late Thursday afternoon. But there's sacrifice here: No going out on the weekend, because pot peeps are getting hooked up at your house.
8. Location, Hours, & Customer Service
Unless you're living in alleyways, street dealing (selling dime bags on the corner) should be avoided. This is just summer sustenance selling, and can lead to winter months behind bars if a beat cop lands your peddling butt in prison; if you can't afford bail and have no fixed address, you proceed to spend months in the local lockup. An autumn arrest is best, because you at least get three squares and a warm bed every night during the harsh winter.
Most sellers do not have established business hours, which results in potheads calling for bags 18 hours a day, or even 24/7. Small operators rarely have hours, which burns them out in more ways than one. There's the common belief that dealers don't wake up before noon, but that's not true of people who are earning dosh. Hours of operation and a place of business is "cannabis cool". Stoners will have difficulty understanding why you only conduct business from 10:00 a.m. to 4:20 p.m., so be prepared to explain why you're not a full-time connection.
Have a business cell phone and a home line for non-business. Don't answer the phone during non-business hours, so you don't forget to go off and enjoy life. Get away from the dealing career by establishing hours, and move your supply in the busy days and weekends. Again, good quality and always being stocked during specific times and days goes a long way in eliminating out-ofsupply fears.
The home office is a fantastic connoisseur investment. Plenty of people coming and going all hours of the day to a residential home is kind of a sign (should someone pay attention) that something is going on. Go to City Hall and register a home business related to a hobby or actual profession. Find out if city zoning allows a home based business, as some don?t. Whatever you decide for as a cover - graphic design, computer programming, model train building - needs to have some basis in reality. The home-based business explains to your neighbors why you're around all the time and why people are always stopping by. Your clients need a solid and likely "reason" for being at your place. Once established, observers will almost never suspect the real business going on.
In New York City, Toronto, Vancouver, Philadelphia and many other North American cities, weed is delivered via Vespa scooter, bicycle, car, subway and bus. You don't invade anyone's turf with a delivery service like you might with a fixed location, where "blocks" are usually some existing dealer's turf. (If you get arrested, your bicycle, motor scooter, or car may be seized. Know that your beloved weed-mobile could be forfeit at some point in your dealing career.)
With delivery, no one knows where your stash is, or where you live, or where the money is. They call and you bring weed. They pay on delivery. There is no credit, and you know where they live. If you don't like the look, attitude or vibe of any customer, you don't do business with them and don't let them buy at your place. Delivery services can be regular business hours or value-added hours, say like $15 or even $20 for delivery from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekends. You know how people get when they just "have to party".
9. Pot Karma, Dude
There's plenty of potential for earning big bucks selling cannabis. The lure of good money on your own terms is the reason people get into the business. Sadly, our weakness to greed, hoarding and consumerism is often such a downfall that it leads to arrest. It takes discipline to not spend willy-nilly!
So do something productive with your dollars. Give to cannabis charitable organizations, but do so without seeking recognition for it. Provide your local activist group some cashola to produce legalization pamphlets or protest flyers; send an anonymous money order to NORML or the Marijuana Policy Project. Give something back to the community, but do so anonymously. There's nothing worst than a big donor's ego getting the best of them.
The outspoken activist in the spotlight unfortunately can't be heavily involved in the industry, and vice-versa. So if the leader of some hard-working marijuana reform group or organization is buying from you, cut them a good deal! Build pot karma by doing ganja good deeds.
10. Dad, I'm In Jail
Get ting pinched sucks. Whether it's street trafficking or cargo ship interception, getting caught by the fuzz while still on your buzz is terrible come down. Handcuffs are a rude awakening, but making the highlight reel of the local news station is cool.
Hopefully you retained a lawyer - a professional and experienced one - when the coin was rolling in. Tell your booking sergeant who you want to speak to, and provide a phone number. Always set aside some profit for lawyer retainer fees, because it never hurts to pay up front when it can save your ass from prison. Very good legal representation is expensive, but not investing for future legal predicaments is the most common folly among weed dealing practitioners.
The lawyers who advertise for stoner clientele in Cannabis Culture clearly want to be retained. It's preferred you don't call them from jail and introduce yourself; you'll be better off if they know who you are beforehand. The complexity of your case will determine your costs for uber-legal eagling. If you run a big business, retain a lawyer immediately. An incredible number of prisoners are in for cannabis offences, which is scary as these are non-violent lawbreakers mixed in with the real threats to society.
To really keep yourself safe from being nabbed by cops, you should pick up a copy of Busted! Drug War Survival Skills by M. Chris Fabricant (as seen in CC #58). This is the best book you can buy if you want to be aware of pot pitfalls, and should help you become a successful weed dealer!

    ===============
    Hi I nailed the new CCNA Exam earlier, with a score of 1000/1000
    New questions came accross from http://www.examtut.com/2013/09/new-questions-in-ccna-200-120-hsrp-vrrp.html

    but encountered 2 NEW QUESION w/c i havent seen on any dumps:

    Q1. What is SNMPv2 authentication procol.
    A. Community Strings
    B. HMAC-MD5
    C. HDMAC-SHA
    I answered "B" tho. (not xur if my answer is correct)

    Q2 (Etherchannel Questions that goes like this)
    Refer to the exhibit. Etherchannel has been configured on Switch1 as shown. 

    Switch1# conf t
    Switch1(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 1/1
    Switch1(config)# Channel-group 5 Mode "AUTO"
    Switch1# 
    Switch1(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 1/2
    Switch1(config)# Channel-group 5 Mode "AUTO"

    Which is the correct command set to configure etherchannel on Switch2?


    A. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethernet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode auto

    B. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethemet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode passive

    C. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethernet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode desirable

    D. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethernet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode ACTIVE


    I may not remember the exact wordings of the question,
    but it mainly says "AUTO" on the other switch and asked wat mode should be on the other end?
    I put D as my answer, the one with an "ACTIVE" word, not xur if its correct.

    anyway i hope some 1 can update the NEW CCNA Questions with ANS with this info.

    To all NEW CAndidates? BEST OF LUCK!

    Thanks 9tut, examtut and Examcollection.
    DUMPS are updated.

    CHEERS!

    For the SNMP quastion:

    Q1. What is SNMPv2 authentication procol.
    A. Community Strings
    B. HMAC-MD5
    C. HDMAC-SHA

    I think the correct answer is (A) as in the below link
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/configuration/guide/cli/sm_snmp.html

    (B) & (C) is for SNMPv3

    Switch1# 
    Switch1(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 1/2
    Switch1(config)# Channel-group 5 Mode "AUTO"

    Which is the correct command set to configure etherchannel on Switch2?


    A. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethernet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode auto

    B. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethemet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode passive

    C. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethernet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode desirable

    D. 
    Switch2# configure terminal
    Switch2(config)# interface range gigabitethernet3/1 -2 
    Switch2(config-if)# channel-group 5 mode ACTIVE


    Answer is (C)

    LACP- can have only ACTIVE or PASSIVE
    PAgP- can have only AUTO or DESIRABLE

    since we have AUTO in SWA, then SWB should be DESIRABLE

    Good Luck to ALL

  38. Thank God ..passed today 1000/1000 in Egypt
    Thanks you examcollection, 9tut, examtut and sprinty

    One more thing for egyptian students stay away from New Horizons centers ..it has a very poor service and the test machines sucks ..it keeps disconnecting during the exam ...after finalizing the EIGRP Lap I had to reconfigure it again as it was no submitted:S

    3 laps 
    ========

    Studied this dumps No new question out of those dumps and espically the new questions because I got about 15 or 20 of them:

    Or 

    http://www.examcollection.com/cisco/Cisco.Actualtests.200-120.v2013-10-12.by.Spintry.299q.vce.file.html

    Have a look on examtut as well:

    http://www.examtut.com/2013/09/new-questions-in-ccna-200-120-hsrp-vrrp.html


    ACL 1
    http://www.examtut.com/2013/09/access-control-list-acl-simlet.html

    ACL 2 ( Modification 4 but for host C not d)
    http://www.examtut.com/2013/08/ccna-access-list-control-acl-simulation.html
    access-list 100 permit tcp host 192.168.33.3 host 172.22.242.23 eq 80
    access-list 100 deny ip any host 172.22.242.23
    access-list 100 permit ip any any 

    EIGRP but AS 12 or 212

    They added an irrelvant network on the main Router I think 192.168.52.0
    No passive interfaces is already added this time from their side.
    IP default network and ip route are added as well.
    simply correct the AS number on the new router and add it on the main one.

    Questions that are still in my mind:

    Hi
    I have passed ICND2 (200-100) 973/1000..
    CBT Nuggets, Todd Lammle's book , real practice on hardware and of course examtut , and dumps from http://www.examcollection.com/ especially one by RonBoot, helped
    and have also 
    Cisco.Actualtests.200-120.CCNA.v2013-10-01.by.examtut.278q 
    Although this last dump was for 200-120 , but also helped.

    only one question from new topic in which I have to select the virtual mac of HSRP

    Two simlets one is in all dumps. In one simlet , which I have never seen anywhere, four questions were asked .there were 5/6 routers running eigrp but all were running same eigrp AS no. and so there was not a single question rather answer about it. One question was about connectivity issue and it was because one of the loopback interface was shutdown , but it was advertise by EIGRP while in other question one of the network was not advertises and in one question problem in forming the neighbour relationship and it was because of passive interface.

    Key is to always read the all the answers first , it will save the time which is wasted to look all the config

    Most of the dumps with date after 20 Nov are valid { most of them are same anyways}

    I have passed ICND2 (200-100) 1000/1000.
    CBT Nuggets, Chris Bryant , lead2pass dumps (660 approx. questions of old course) and new questions mentioned all here (Including the 2 etherchannel and 1 snmp question in posts below) all helped me getting the score. Labs and simlets same as mentioned here on examtut.com (except as number or ip addresses might be different).

    Clear your concepts
    prepare: 
    dumps (as told above),
    labs ,simlets on this website and your good to go.
  53. mehnas says:
    I passed ICND2 today with 1000/1000 score.
    Regarding the test in my case 95% of the questions were from the examsdeal Website too. A few questions were from the Examtut-Website (look to the “new questions”). Sims as mentioned above Frame relay and EIGRP. EIGRP you can solve with the show ip route and show run command.
    Good luck

    I passed these couple of days.
    got 53, 3 labs.
    u will need, ronboots 100q, and the 29 new questions from test-inside.
    new questions are also on examsdeal 267

    2 of the labs were the showcommand labs from ronboots, the third was a 6 route eigrp lab i never see before, but u dont have to worry, its supereasy and if u fail, it dont matter, cause u can reach the needed points with the the vce files i named above
  55. I think SNMPv2 is Community string not HMAC-MD5
