McGarvey Custom Homes Hayworth estate model residence at 13881 Williston Way in Quail West was named recipient of eight Superior Home Awards at the Lee BIAs 2014 Parade of Homes Superior Homes Award Ceremony held Feb. 13 at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Resort & Spa.

The Hayworth won Superior Home Awards in the $3 million to $3,499,000 category for Best Livability, Best Interior Design, Best Kitchen, Best Bath, Best Outdoor Living, Best Pool, Best Exterior, and Best Landscape Design categories. The 28th Annual LBIA Parade of Homes is open Sunday at Quail West and will continue Thursday, Feb. 27 through Sunday, March 2. Hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Hayworth will also be a featured model during the CBIA Parade of Homes at Quail West March 7 through 9, and March 14 through 16.

McGarveys Hayworth model features a floor plan with a grand parlour, a grand room, a formal dining room, study, four bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths, a wet bar and wine room, a three-car garage with dedicated golf cart parking, a two-car garage, and an outdoor living area with a summer kitchen, bar, fireplace, pool and spa. The award-winning interior of McGarveys Hayworth model was designed and executed by Arlynn McDaniel of Freestyle Interiors.

McDaniels California Clean design style mixes natural materials and cleaner lines with more modern shiny metallics and a bit of jewelry. The Hayworths neutral color palette is intended to showcase the homes architecture and includes browns, creams, blacks, taupes and whites. Splashes of color are found in contemporary art pieces, throws and area rugs. Contrasting woods and fabrics provide additional visual interest. Flooring in the main living areas is porcelain tile with engineered wood flooring in the study.

A linear fireplace in the grand parlour features a brown-toned polished porcelain tile floor-to-ceiling surround. The tile is laid in a horizontal pattern. Four clean-lined upholstered chairs with espresso wood frames are paired with a metal cocktail table that features a stone top. The grouping establishes McDaniels clean, modern style while conveying the perfectly executed casual elegance found throughout the home. A glass enclosed wine room is situated immediately adjacent to the parlour.

The parlours large arched fixed-glass window offers an exquisite view of the outdoor living area and pool. The covered lanai includes a see-through fireplace, an island with bar seating, a full kitchen and an entry into a dedicated pool bath. As is McGarveys custom, the custom designed pool and spa features unique elements, including a lighted statue water feature.

In addition to its wood flooring, the study features an inverted coffered ceiling with a beam detail. Hidden LED lights are incorporated in the perimeter of the coffer to provide additional interest. Furnishings in the study include a desk, credenza and a pair of occasional chairs.

The Hayworths spacious grand room is the central gathering place of the home and includes a wet bar. A pair of large, comfortable sofas and two large chairs are upholstered in a neutral fabric. Accents are presented in copper, orange, grey, and a touch of red. An asymmetrical, espresso finished built-in includes both floating and attached chunky shelving. Pocketing sliders open the grand room to the covered lanai to create an enormous indoor/outdoor space that can easily accommodate large-scale entertaining.

The grand room flows into a formal dining room defined by square columns with a header. The focal point of the dining room is a double chandelier hanging from an inverted coffered ceiling with perimeter accent lighting. A formal espresso finished dining table is surrounded by dining wood and upholstery chairs.

The Hayworths island kitchen is integrated in the grand room space and includes a counter height island with a warm, walnut-toned base and a three-inch, solid surface countertop with a waterfall edge. The perimeter cabinetry matches the island base. To maintain her clean-lined, modern style, McDaniel contrasted the warm cabinetry tones with stainless steel hardware, oversized countertops, and a stainless steel vent hood.

Many of the best-selling consumer and SOHO wireless routers are wide open to attackers thanks to known software vulnerabilities and poor configuration, a study by security firm Tripwire has found.

Worries about the parlous state of home router security are far from new, but Tripwires probing is a good reminder of the vulnerability of this class of devices.

Using the top 50 selling home routers for sale on Amazon, the firm detected software vulnerabilities in three quarters with a third of these having publically documented flaws open for any attacker to exploit. Common problems included vulnerable management interfaces and dodgy authentication.

Disturbingly, there was also evidence of identical flaws across products from different vendors indicating the possibiliity of a common but undocumented software heritage.

After surveying router users in person, the firm found that many user dont change the default admin password (an ancient problem), few had changed the default 192.168.1.x IP address (which facilitates CSRF attacks), and almost nobody bothered to update firmware assuming an update was even available.

Theres no argument that home routers are a security blindspot, but are these fears being a bit overblown?

While attacking a home router would offer the ability to control, direct and in some cases eavesdrop on traffic, its not immediately obvious that criminals would be able to carry off widespread attacks.

The biggest problem for an attacker is simply that home routers are fragmented across a range of vendors and product generations; getting traction against these devices would be no mean feat when there are far easier targets such as the ubiquitous Windows computer to shoot down instead.

The obvious exception to this are the mass-market routers now handed out in many countries by large ISPs. If criminals wanted to target routers it would likely be against everyone within a given country using a particular providers product.

Although to date no major attacks hijacked home routers on an industrial scale, recently the warning lights have started flashing red.

Many home wireless routers vulnerable, study finds

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) February 23, 2014

The key to a truly safe and secure home lies in the security of the doors and windows. Homeowners should secure these entry points as well as possible, and any home security systems should include components that specifically address these areas.

Door and window sensors are great wireless home security systems additions that make sure a home is as secure as is possible. The team at SecuritySystemReviews.com, a site that provides wireless home security system reviews, has created a list of tips to help people when selecting and installing these devices.

1.Before purchasing any sensors, its important to understand how they work. Many consumers wrongly believe a standard security system protects these areas, but thats an incorrect assumption. Door and window sensors are placed directly on the entry point, and an electrical current indicates if the door or window is disturbed or opened.

2.The most expensive option for door and window sensors is a surface contact option, but its also important to note that these are very visible, which may not be the best option for someone concerned with the aesthetic appeal of the sensor.

3.For consumers who want to opt for more expensive and less visible sensors, the best option may be to only arm the doors and windows that are easily accessible, and exclude those that dont pose as much of a threat, such as second floor windows.

4.For the option to arm an open window, the only choice for a sensor is a vented option, which means two magnets are used to allow a window to be opened a few inches before the alarm is sounded or the monitoring company is alerted.

5.To save money, speak with a security system company about packages that include sensors as part of comprehensive wireless home security systems. This may be a less expensive option than purchasing all the sensors separately, and many companies will include installation with the package.

6.Consumers should understand the difference between a basic open and close window or door sensor, and a glass break sensor. A glass break sensor is different and may be used in combination with a sensor that alerts if a window or door is opened or closed.

7.Before choosing a security system company, check to see if they offer complimentary maintenance services, in case something goes wrong with a sensor.
