I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are
the ones who are confused in your history. If you will refer to the
Bible and the Book of David, 9th Chapter,
you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass.
That…. gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years!
Yours truly,
Patrick Finnegan.

Sneaky Netflix tech support scam could let criminals take over your computer
f you encounter an error on your computer when trying to sign in to your Netflix account, make sure to double-check before you call the listed help line. This scam may be one of the most elaborate ones seen in a while.
Simply put, this is a phishing scam that’s gone above and beyond to access your personal information. Coupling “tech support” with a phishing scam is a devious ploy, but it can fool a lot of people if you don’t know what you’re looking at.

This software is really remote control program that will allow the hackers to gain access to all of your personal files, including your banking information. The hackers will show you an imitation of the results of scans for attacks and run several programs on your computer.

Chunky Salsa Cheesecake
What You’ll Need
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 pint sour cream
2 eggs
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 jar (16 ounces) Pace® Chunky Salsa
How to Make It
1 Combine the tortilla chips and the butter in a small bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the springform pan in a shallow baking pan.
2 Beat the cream cheese, sour cream and eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the cheese, onion, garlic and black pepper. Pour the cheese mixture into the pan.
3 Bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes or until set. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Cover the pan and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
4 Remove the cheesecake from the pan. Top with the salsa and cut into 12 wedges.
Be adventurous! Use flavored tortilla chips (Hint of Lime) or Doritos in the crust. Use a fruit salsa in place of the Pace. Like more zing and zip? Add chopped cilantro or green chilies to the cream cheese mix
Orange and Pineapple Muffins
Orange Pineapple Muffins taste of orange, pineapple, and pecans and the baked muffins, while still warm, are brushed with an orange glaze which keeps them wonderfully shiny and moist. These are lovely little gems that are baked in miniature
Orange Pineapple Muffins
1/2 cup pecans
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk, plain yogurt or sour cream
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
Glaze:
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Coarse decorator’s or demerara sugar
Heat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Spread pecans in a single layer on a cookie sheet and toast 8 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop into small pieces.
Coat a muffin tin with vegetable oil spray, or fill cups with paper liners. Drain pineapple. Increase oven heat to 375 degrees.
Whisk flour with salt and baking soda. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the egg and beat until thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat in the milk, orange extract and zest. Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Fold in the toasted pecans and drained pineapple.
Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full with batter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove to wire rack. While muffins are still hot, brush tops with orange juice and sprinkle with the sugar. Makes 16 muffins.

Orange Pineapple Muffin Cake (Giant Scone)
Called Orange Pineapple Muffin Cake, this easy, wholesome Pillsbury Bake-off contender from 1990 reminds me more of a scone than a muffin. Although the description claimed that “Whole wheat flour adds texture and wholesomeness to this muffin-like cake,” both Molly and I agree that this pineapple orange muffin cake has the consistency of a scone. More biscuit-like than muffin-like. And with just 200 calories and 6 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, this is a whole lot lighter than your typical coffee shop coffeecake, muffin or scone.
Molly was a little concerned that the batter was too thick, but managed to get it spread out in the pan. The orange pineapple flavor really came through and the orange glaze added just enough sweetness. This delicious recipe full of fruit and flavor is definitely going into our “Make Again” file.

A light and tasty coffee cake made with whole wheat flour, crushed pineapple and orange juice that reminds me more of a scone than a muffin Author: Simple Nourished Living Recipe type: Coffee Cake Serves: 12
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder ½ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt
1 can (8-1/4 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained ½ cup orange juice
1/3 cup butter, melted ½ to 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 egg, slightly beaten
For the Glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease the bottom only of a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mixing well. In a medium bowl stir together the drained crushed pineapple, orange juice, melted butter, orange zest and egg until well blended. Add the pineapple mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The dough will be very thick.) Spread the dough evenly into the greased pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 22 to 27 minutes or until a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool for 1 minute. Remove from the pan and place on a serving plate. To make the glaze, in a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, orange zest and 1 tablespoon orange juice. Add the additional tablespoon of orange juice a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake. Serve warm.
