Muslim looking male image at news. Hacked?
I'm not sure how frequented in this forum, but I'll pose my question here before asking in a forum with more traffic.
I have an iPad that's 2-3 years old running 9.3.2
For the past couple of days, I've noticed the the thumbnail icon to the left of the NEWS (current Apple news highlights (that I access by swiping right at the home screen), has been replaced by a photo of a man in what I think of as Muslim attire. It's a very small image and I cannot read the Arabic looking script on the image.
Does anyone know what this means. I double that Apple news has suddenly gotten commingled with an Arabic news outlet?
Here are some images. And a few things to note that might help figure this out. In no particular order.
1. A well meaning relate went to a commercial "Find lost money" site and entered a lot of MY personal info. Name, address, email, blah blah. I have gotten a lot of spam since then (3 mo's ago) at my email w my name (I don't use it). I DO NOT OPEN any of the unsolicit you email, but just delete it.
2. A few weeks ago, I was looking to see if there was a way to watch MSNBC or CNN streaming via my iPad. I do not use any apps, btw. I found one site that worked for a week. Then found another that got shut down ("this was stollen from CNN").
I looked around a found site that offered nothing, but some of them look as though they might be in outer kabikistan, so I left.
I went back to the second free CNN, Fox, Russian, galupistan, any tv offerings streaming free, and got "lucky (?) with the strea,ing CNN being available again.
Uh oh? Am I viewing streaming CNN via a outlaw hacker supreme site? If so, What do I do? Is my iPad filtered up w cooties?
Here are some cropped screenshots of what I see. Anyone else get these guys? Know what it means?
Any tips for me? Do I boil my iPad for 2 days in bleach?
Thanks if any of you can help.
Screen shot. Doesn't look quite right, does it?
Anyone ever see this before or know what it means?

Prune overgrown yews or hack them down?
Comments (5)I have several of them, and I'm just pruning them now. I don't like a shorn geometric look, so I prune them a branch at a time, with plain old hand pruners. It's tedious, but I think it looks more natural. The object is to cut out the longest branches, that contain most of the previous year's growth. Yours have gone for more than a year without pruning, but the technique is the same. Stand well back, and look at each plant. Decide what shape you want it to have, and then just start cutting. Here are before and after photos. Again, I wouldn't cut them round like this, but the photos will show you what branches are removed. Look at the wall and window behind the shrub, and the bed beneath it, and you'll see how much it's size was reduced....See MoreTrying the new image posting feature here
Comments (21)Hi Mary and welcome back! Here's what I have listed as host plants for the Spicebush Swallowtail: spicebush (Lindera benzoin) sassafras (Sassafras albidum) redbay (Persea borbonia) tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana) camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) I hope that you get to raise some. I bought some spicebushes and this will be the fifth year I've had them and have yet to find any cats on them, although I usually have Spicebush Swallowtail butterflies flying around here most years.

Comments (4)Thank you altorama! The big palm tree is a date palm, unusually fat, it is a heritage tree (the city protects them, I wouldnt be allowed to cut it down, as if I would want to), planted, we believe, in the 20's when the house was built. Climbing on the porch is New Dawn--Im so lucky, I always wanted this rose and when I bought this house here it was!-- star jasmine, wisteria and nastursium. My house's name is Rosebud, but it's usually called Mousie Housie. ;)...See MoreHacked off my painter, now what?
Comments (49)I was born and raised in MS and now live in Louisiana so I am a southern lady through and through. Beyond that, my dad was a shovenist (can't remember how to spell it but you know what I mean). He believe woman should be inside barefoot and pregnant. My husband on the other hand is not at all. Without trying to catch rath of the board, I do think your dh was partially right. Yes, you should be able to chew the painter out in front of anyone. The problem is that there are some out there that are pigs and it will only cause more trouble to do so in front of their son. Seems to me your painter could fit into the pig category. Of course, this shouldn't be the case but it might have helped that the kid wasn't present and your dh or other contractor do the fussing. Right or wrong sometimes doesn't matter. In the end, you wanted them to do a better job and if he is a pig that doesn't want a woman telling him what to do then it would probably make matters worse rather than better. Having said that, I know what should be done but I would have tossed that pig out on his curly tail. I never back down, even when I probably should, and being that I am a large woman 6' tall, I usually get my way. Dh just shakes his head when he sees that light in my eyes and my walking off with that look. So you see, I don't fault you but at the same time I do understand your dh. I hope the paint is now finished correctly and you are enjoying life....See More- 8 years ago
