			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the TV show<em> Nature</em>, the episode titled <em>Is That Skunk?</em>, this recipe makes a solution that will neutralize the smell of skunk spray on a dog.</p>
<p>Mix up fresh when needed, always out doors:<br />
- one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide<br />
- one quarter cup of baking soda<br />
- one teaspoon of detergent</p>
<p>Pour the mixture on the dog, carefully avoiding the eyes. Use all of the solution. Never store any left over. Wait five minutes, then rise with plain water.</p>
<p>I have not used this but Nature seems like a creditable source.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IT security people have told us for some time that we need to use &#8220;strong&#8221; passwords, non-word combinations of upper and lower case letters, numbers and other characters. This scheme does produce passwords that are strong, but often they are almost un-rememberable. As a consequence, users write them down and leave them in obvious places. A strong password that is easily discovered is almost useless.</p>
<p>There are three methods for discovering passwords.<br />
1. Ask the user. Hackers try this all the time because it often works. Don&#8217;t reveal your passwords.</p>
<p>2. Guess, based on knowledge of the user. Don&#8217;t use easily guessed passwords like your name or the name of your child or a pet, your date of birth, or the town you live in.</p>
<p>3. Mount brute force attacks with computer software that quickly attempt logins using combinations of characters or lists of words in a dictionary. To defeat a brute force attack, choose passwords that will take far too long to discover.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the good news. Sufficiently secure passwords that will take too long to discover can be made using a combination of three words. One word is useless. Two words is better. Three words is very secure.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t use a well-known phrase. &#8220;Mickey Mouse Club&#8221; and &#8220;spit and polish&#8221; would not be good choices.</p>
<p>Three words that rhyme or describe something you know would work well and should be more easily remembered than something like &#8220;kN*dfm5as&#8221;.</p>
<p>Here are some examples: &#8220;cat will dig&#8221;, &#8220;monsters eat pudding&#8221;, &#8220;desk 2 high&#8221;, &#8220;blue shoes hurt&#8221;.</p>
<p>Some systems will require the use of upper case letters, numbers, symbols, or disallow spaces. Work these parameters into the same patterns: &#8220;Cat%will%dig&#8221;, &#8220;Monsters 8 Pudding&#8221;, &#8220;desk*2*High&#8221;, &#8220;blue sh0es hurt&#8221;. Be a bit creative but use patterns that are easy to remember.</p>
