A Surfer’s Dream

Andy Irons, a three-time world surfing champion and one of the more popular athletes on the Assn. of Surfing Professionals’ elite World Tour, has died after coming down with an undisclosed illness during a competition in Puerto Rico.

Irons was only 32 and leaves behind a pregnant wife, Lyndie, and younger brother, Bruce, who is a former World Tour competitor.

Irons’ death has been confirmed by his family, which in a statement said he passed away during a layover while between flights fro Puerto Rico to his home in Hawaii. That was believed to have been in Dallas.

The statement begins: “The world of surfing mourns an incredibly sad loss today with the news that Hawaii’s Andy Irons has died. Andy was a beloved husband, and a true champion.”

Irons, who was born and raised on Kauai, fell ill during the Rip Curl Search Puerto Rico, the second-to-last competition of the year and the first World Tour competition held in the Caribbean. He suffered from symptoms similar to those associated with Dengue fever.

Irons was known for his fast but fluid style on a surfboard, and for his epic heat battles with Kelly Slater, many of which occurred as Irons was reeling off his titles in succession from 2002-04.

Irons also was a dominant force in Hawaii, where he won four prestigious Vans Triple Crown of Surfing titles and four Billabong Pipeline Masters championships.

His death comes at a time when Slater, 38, pro surfing’s most accomplished athlete, is in Puerto Rico trying to clinch a tenth world title.

Irons had his ups and downs after his title run and often struggled with his surfing and emotions. He took last year off, citing personal reasons, but being newly married seemed to provide him with new inspiration. He returned to the tour this season and is presently ranked No. 16 in the world.

Lately, my internet security system has been telling me that critical, high risk attacks have been blocked. It happens about once a day. I thought that viruses only attacked your computer when you were surfing untrustworthy websites, but I haven’t been on any sketchy sites recently. How do viruses attack your computer when you aren’t going on any out-of-the-ordinary websites? How can I prevent viruses from targeting my computer from this point on? Thanks!

You could have downloaded something which installed itself and then waited to do something. Some virus’ are created like time bombs. They wait for a specific date and time and then attack the computer. There are also virus’ called a "back door," which literally means that it installs itself quietly and unobtrusively and then opens a port thru the firewall (that is why it is called a back door) and then silently communicates with an external source who steals your private information without you knowing it. It is also possible that you installed something from a floppy disk, CD or DVD that had a virus on it.

So what you need to do is make sure that you have your firewall set properly. You also need to get into Safe Mode and run not only virus scans but also malware scans. A couple of good antimalware freebees are Antimalwarebytes and Superantispyware. It’s best to install these programs, update their definition tables and then run them in Safe Mode.

I would like to know which browser is the fastest I know of safari, firefox, ie, Opera but i don’t know which is fastest can some one help me?If you know more please comment.

So many people rave about how good Mozilla Firefox is. I’ll admit it: FireFox IS a good browser. But personally, I really don’t like it. I use Opera. Opera plays videos alright. I would definately recommend Firefox or Opera. Safari and IE are too buggy and sluggish, like someone just said.

I am a trained proffesional! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
(Try it somewhere else like a parking lot or open field)
