I don't have any children but one day when I get it all together I would like some. Thinking about this makes me wonder what I would say to a little-one if they liked the same show's / movies as I do, but are confused by the subject matter.
For instance what if your kid watched Ghost Hunters or Tales From The Crypt and asked you: "Why do people die" and / or "Where do people go when they die?" What would you say? How does a person even begin to answer that question for someone who still believes in Santa or The Easter Bunny?
I liked scary stuff ever since I could remember, but never asked the question as I was sure I'd be lied to by my parents. Till this day, I still wonder about those two questions but I think that all boils down to a matter of what a persons beliefs are, regarding the subject.
Any thoughts?

All the rest is right hereBy the midway mark of last season, it became clear that Henrik Samuelsson's style didn't suit the game being played in Sweden.
The 18-year-old right winger was born in Pittsburgh. He grew up in Scottsdale. The foundation of his hockey career was born in the local P.F. Chang's midget league and refined during his time with the U.S. National program.
His physical approach, heavy shot and affinity for traffic was out of place on the bigger ice surfaces in Europe. So in January, he left MoDo -- which is coached by his dad and former Coyotes associate coach, Ulf -- and joined the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Growing Power deli delays grand opening because of shootings
The newly opened Growing Power's Deli & Food Market, 2737 N. King Drive, has delayed the grand opening scheduled for today because of the killings Sunday in Oak Creek, the urban farm announced on social media.
On Facebook, Growing Power said it was postponing the festivities out of "respect for those who tragically lost their lives and those injured in Oak Creek" Sunday when a gunman opened fire in the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin, killing six before he was shot and killed by a police officer.
"At Growing Power, we honor the diversity of the greater Milwaukee community and hold in the highest esteem the values of tolerance, inclusion and peace," Growing Power says on Facebook. "Oak Creek has been the hometown of our founder, Will Allen, for over 30 years, and we are tied not only to the land but also to every person and organization within this community. Therefore, our hearts are heavy with sorrow and we stand in communion and solidarity with the Sikh community of Wisconsin."
The deli, which sells soups, salads and sandwiches as well as coffee and soft drinks from a counter, opened quietly about a week ago, an employee at Growing Power headquarters at 5500 W. Silver Spring Drive said this morning.
It also sells some produce from the farm, as well as using Growing Power-raised ingredients. It's open Monday through Saturday.

Hey J-S! Great free plug for Growing Power. I'm sure all of us were waiting on pins and needles to see whar Growing Power did. Great news coverage J-S. Or not.Hide replies
Why are some people such haters?
Some people just can't help being haters. You have to lik
e yourself to like others.
I think Will Allen is a class act for pausing to grieve with yesterday's victims and the Oak Creek community. Dona nobis pachem, Amen.
Ate there a couple weeks ago, really good. Can't wait for the real opening
Thank you, Will Allen, you're an honorable and respectable man.

August 1, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - Former NBC president Julian Goodman, a Glasgow, Ky., native who helped establish Chet Huntley and David Brinkley as a well-known news team and led the network from 1966 to 1974, has died. He was 90.
NBC said Goodman died Monday in Juno Beach, Fla., where he lived after retiring as chairman of NBC's board in 1979.
Goodman joined the network at the night news desk in Washington in 1945. He rose through the ranks to become executive vice president of NBC News at the time Huntley and Brinkley were competitors to Walter Cronkite on CBS.
As network president, he later gave Johnny Carson a long-term contract to stay on the "Tonight" show and helped make the American Football League a force by broadcasting the upstart league.
He is survived by his wife and four children.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As many as three in ten voters in North Carolina who cast ballots in the Presidential race skip over the races for judges. There are six contested District Court races in Mecklenburg County alone.
There's no 'D' or 'R' to go by in a non-partisan race and name recognition is minimal. So the North Carolina Bar Association surveyed lawyers anonymously to ask about judges' performance and then to evaluate candidates who challenged those judges. The resulting stark disparity between some opponents has led the candidates who did not fare so well to question the survey.
Take the case of Mecklenburg District Court Judge Ty Hands, who is being challenged by attorney Jeff Thompson. The NC Bar Association survey gave Judge Hands a good or excellent overall performance score in 87% of the votes cast. For her challenger Jeff Thompson, his good or excellent scores were almost half that -- 44.9%.
At a public forum at the Charlotte School of Law Wednesday night, Thompson was incredulous that 15 of his ballots scored him at straight "ones" -– the lowest score available.
"They were supposed to be given out to people … to answer truthfully," said Thompson. "Unfortunately because there's no accountability with this survey people can answer any way they so choose."
But Judge Hands trusts the numbers and campaigns on them.
"With any process anonymously there could be some opportunity to skew (the numbers)," she said. "I think ultimately the percentage is what bears out."

"These new materials have outstanding commercial potential because
they can address a void in multi-billion dollar markets, allowing for
the advancement of new and emerging technologies such as printable
electronics, thin-film-transistors, optoelectronic devices, and new
types of environmentally-friendly light sources." said Graphene
Laboratories CEO Dr. Elena Polyakova. She continued, "The materials
readily can be produced in large volumes, and our team is ready to
scale-up our production to satisfy customer demand."
Graphene - the material which won Manchester University scientists
the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics - has made waves in the scientific
community for its outstanding properties. Since then, however, its
intrinsic limitations have been realized, including its lack of a
band-gap. These challenges have led scientists to become increasingly
interested in other 2-dimensional materials.
MoS2, WS2, and BN have many remarkable properties of their own,
outperforming graphene in a variety of ways. These materials have a
direct band-gap, and if being used for electronic applications exhibit
a high current ON/OFF ratio. In addition, the direct band-gap is the
reason for their high level of photoluminescence, giving them
applications in optoelectronic devices.
Commenting on the expanded product line, Chief Technology Officer
Dr. Daniel Stolyarov said "Our team has been working with graphene
materials for about five years now. We have been amazed at the
properties of graphene, and are equally excited about these new novel
2D graphene-like materials. Though not a replacement to graphene, these
new members of the family of 2D materials have properties which are
complimentary to it. Together with graphene, these 2D materials form a
toolkit to be employed in many emerging technologies."
The new products can be found online at graphene-supermarket.com.

Framework for development
Based upon A Conceptual Framework Indicating Influences on Student Learning (Entwistle, 2003), these pages pose questions and suggest practice consistent with a pedagogic approach that encourages internationalisation.
Teachers' conceptions and beliefs about learning and teaching
UCL employs academics and learning support staff from a range of cultural backgrounds. How do their differing perceptions of teaching and learning influence student learning? How can course designers use this diversity to develop curricula?
The aims of the course
What is the context of the course or module? And why is the international and intercultural dimension relevant to it?
Designing a process for learning and teaching
What kind of assessment methods and techniques for teaching and learning are helpful? Here are some ways in which members of the UCL teaching community have approached this question.
Tutor-student interactions
Who are your students? Why is the international/intercultural dimension relevant to them? What is their role in the development of curriculum? How do you encourage active participation in learning?
Reflecting on your course and design of learning
How do you know if your curriculum is internationalised? What techniques are available?

Miss Teen USA gives lessons to stop bullies
Third, Logan said, children should get up and walk away. If you're not there, said Logan, the bully can't hurt you.
Fourth, Logan said, children should grab some friends and talk to the bully. The purpose of the friends is not to gang up on the bully but to offer you moral support as you speak your mind.
Finally, Logan said, tell a grown-up, whether it's a teacher, principal or a parent. "They can handle it much faster than we can… No one can help you if they don't know."
Toward the end of the program, Logan asked the children to take her "Bully Proof" pledge. The children recited, "As a student, I pledge to treat others with respect and fairness. I pledge to speak out against bullying and report bullying to an adult. I will help others who are being bullied and support those who are recovering. I pledge to be a good role model for younger students and to help others feel safe and comfortable whenever I can. I will never use violence to solve my issues, instead I will use the 'Five Tips' if ever I am being bullied. I pledge to be Bully Proof."
After the pledge, Logan opened up the assembly to comments. Several of the students used the opportunity to offer their own stories about being bullied. And Logan listened than tried to tie the child's situation into the tips and to offer them reassurance.

Don't wanna take'em off...
I ordered the Earl Of Warwick Montagu boots, and I have to say I'm totally flown the buck away. I put them on, and I just can't bring myself to take them off. I've always been into alternative and off-the-beaten-path footwear, but for a dude to walk around in knee-high (dare I say equestrian-style) boots and feel like I'm saying, "you wish you could pull this off!" Well, ya just don't normally get this kinda pleasure outta shoe purchases. My only regret is having the knowledge that so many people out there wear such crappy shoes, and they don't get it and never will.

Everyone loves the Obrigadas
A few years ago I bought the blue and grey Obrigadas on sale. (I thought the blue was turquoise until now.) I only wear them to parties and dancing, they are too beautiful to knock around at the office and such. During the holidays we were lucky to have no ice and snow and I wore them to a holiday party. As soon as I got on the bus they got a compliment, and they were complimented five more times at the party. I hope Fluevog will offer a similar lower-heeled style again with turquoise because it's clear that everyone loves them! As a tall woman with sore feet I wish Fluevog would offer more pretty styles in lower-heeled shoes. I no longer buy high heels. I've seen some on the Adriana platform but that is too narrow for my feet. I saw the preview of the Choice Margies - just what I need! I'll buy black ones for work and maybe the blue ones also. Still it would be nice to have some party shoes in lower heels. Thanks very much for the wonderful quality and style of Fluevogs! :-)

Bigger sizes
I am fortunate to own a few pairs of shoes and boots that are just fabulous. But lately, the selections that appeal to me are only availabe to size 11 - and I am a 11.5 or 12. Please keep up the larger sizes.
Posted by Allison Ryan from Montreal, Quebec, Canada:
Bigger not better please!
It has been years I have drooled at your womens' selection. One day I hope you will consider making some of the models of boots in larger female sizes, there are more of us large foot lusters out there than one may realize! Size 13 plus an insert isn't an easy road to walk in fashion, help us ladies with long feets feel sexy? Pretty please? My kingdom (ok maybe just my wallet) for a knee high brown leather contouring the leg flat heel boot in size 13 (or even 13.5 but this is a fantasy so I can push my luck hehe) *sighs* ()-)

5-Star-Shout-Out for the Assistant Manager Monika (Haight Street store in San Francisco) who has ushered me into the World Of Fluevog. Monika was super patient with me, ran and down the stairs more than 5 times with arms full each time because I was trying on every option for a funky commuting shoe. We found the perfect one with the Map clog/boot! My second soiree with Monika was just as fun. She is super knowledgeable, awesome customer service, fun to chat with and this place is simply a delight to spend 3-4 paychecks for the best shoes and boots on the planet. I just bought the Altos in Black and Purple and am ELATED!!!! Merci John and Monika!!! Looking forward to the Spring 2013 collection!

I totally but my billing address as my shipping address and I no longer live at that property but my mother does. Sherri immediately called UPS and called me back to keep me abreast of the status. I thought about my mistake and called her back. She was attentive and supportive through the whole ordeal. Thank you do much for going the extra step! And after all that to open our well wrapped and packed pair of Fluevog's I was greeted by an awesome letter from Janiece. This made me smile, and a proud customer of John Fluevog. Keep the styles coming! More knee boots in 11 please Johnny :-D

Scout Mule, Please
Please bring back the Scout Mule! I love my Prepare Leader mary janes and Prepare Map boots, and I'd love a mule with a similar heel. It's uber-comfortable.

Posted by Derek from Vancouver:
It was meant to be
Once upon a time ... ok it was a couple years ago ... my girlfriend Victoria fell in love with a pair of Olive Green "Halt" ankle boot, they were on sale from $500 down to $350 but still she needed time to think about it ... as we walked around town she talked about the boots, there timeless style and how she could wear them for 30 years! Like a dumbass I said "your going to ear them when your 70?" Naturally that ruined it for her until .... today. She was in the store on granville and telling the story to another woman who was also shopping when a salesman overheard the story and said they still had them and he knew were! and they were now marked down to $199 .... it's like the shoes found her and it was meant to be *lol :-)

What a gentleman you have become. My first T.I. concert was at club Tinted Windows in Augusta, GA in 2001. Since then my sister and I made a vow to purchase only the original copy of each and every one of our albums. I've attended 3 of your concerts and love the energy you bring to each of your venues. My favorite by far was the Final Farewell concert you had in Atlanta before you went away. Me, my sister, and fiancee were jammin' the whole night. Soooo nostalgic. I love both the old and new songs. You are definitely my favorite "Taker". Without a doubt, this is the best film since Live Free or Die Hard and Running Scared. Keep up the good work and may God continue to bless your life, your family, and your marriage to that angel. xoxo. Rene'.
Tip i love u always have been a fan ,and every actor/musician in Takers i gotta give it up to yall.....all of u was great ....i waited for about nine month for this movie to come out and i gotta say it was well worth the wait ...it kept a smile on my face the whole time .....I'm going back to see the movie again this wknd and it is my birthday wknd so gotta treat myself again .....

Diner Reviews
Been here twice. Great experience
both times. Will be back."
Dined on 7/29/2014
food is ok, but not worth the
prices. Service was good when compared to other South Beach restaurants"
Dined on 7/27/2014
My wife and I came here looking
for the best steaks in Miami, and we weren't disappointed. Our steaks were amazing, the sides were equally great, and our waiter was a very cool dude. Fun atmosphere too, similar to a Vegas restaurant. If you're thinking of going to Prime 112 or another of the notable high end steak joints, check this place out first..."
Dined on 7/24/2014
The service was impeccable. They
provide two waiters for each table. The servers were knowledgeable about wine and the menu. They constantly check to see if you need anything and are very friendly. The setting is very elegant and loungy but still kid friendly. My husband and I brought our 11 year old son. The food was amazing! The best dinner experience we have had in South Beach. Highly recommend the Sea Bass which melted in your mouth. My husband had the steak and loved it. Just a great experience and evening"
Dined on 7/23/2014
I ordered the crab and lobster
cakes for my appetizer. My date ordered the escargots. Both arrived perfectly prepared. I tried her escargots for the first time and discovered them to be quite tasty. My cakes melted in my mouth. Main courses were the meat samplers for each, prepared rare for the lady and medium for myself. Side dishes were asparagus (amazing), truffle mashed potatoes (Whipped and extremely flavorful) and brussel sprouts (which I didn't try, but she finished). The meat samplers were devoured handily. The sommelier paired a perfect red to accompany our meal (a Solocontigo)."
Dined on 7/21/2014
The staff is the best thing there.
Friendly funny and not hipocritical and stuffy. Very honest opinions about their food, we appreciated that. The food however is overpriced, my steak had lots of fatty tissue on it. Ambience is fun, very vibrant the hostess and the waitresses are very friendly."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I read many reviews and the photos
of the interior were beautiful so we went to check it out. The servers were nice but to be honest the food was very disappointing at best. I would have thought with the name "Meat Market" there would have been a focus on having an amazing piece of meat, but my filet mignon was not even close to what I would have expected. I would not return to this restaurant nor would I recommend it to anyone."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Brought along some high-end
Bordeaux. Sommelier was friendly and accommodating. Great food, svc and a hip scene."
Dined on 7/18/2014
Very uncomfortable for two
persons. Always seated at a booth with other guest table 12 inches away. Need to get rid of some tables."
Dined on 7/12/2014
The place did not advise that they
had a no shorts policy. The only place on Lincoln Road with such a policy. Left there went to Smith & Wollensky got seated and had a great steak. Policy should be communicated at the time of booking."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Meat Market mixes South America
Steak with Japanese menu. We were on steak and it was very good. Plenty of Antipasto options as we'll main and side dishes. But all of these choices has its cost. Be careful with wine list that could cost easely $200 for an average wine. When hear "we have some out of menu dishes" be alert!! Ask the price, serving size, and everything you need to know before ordering. Overall it is a good choice for meat lovers."
Dined on 7/4/2014
We celebrated my son's 21st
birthday on Monday night and had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent but I have to say the service was truly outstanding. It was a wonderful time for my son and our family."
Dined on 6/30/2014
Meat quality was good but had to
send back twice to get temp up to medium."
Dined on 6/27/2014
Very disappointed. Beautiful
restaurant, excellent service, pricey, but disappointment was in the food - worst steak I could not finish it - tasted so badly if old,poor quality of meat."
Dined on 6/24/2014
Great restaurant on Lincoln Road -
not a tourist trap!!"
Dined on 6/18/2014
I've been here many times and it's
always great. The food is prepared wonderfully and the staff (Hey Idy!) is on their game at all times. It's a little on the pricey side, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself or someone else to a fantastic dinner."
Dined on 6/14/2014
One of the best steaks I've ever
tasted. We split the new york strip (rare) and it was delicious, tender and beautifully seasoned. Started with the ceviche of the day and the tuna, both excellent. Good creamed spinach (although thought the addition of bacon a bit over the top). The french fries were amazing, seasoned with paprika and sugar I think, very addictive. Couldn't manage desserts."
Dined on 6/11/2014
The Service was attentive. However
The steak was a bit over charcoiled on the outside. As per the starters the tuna tarter missed some tortilla chips (two are rather insufficient) and the wagyu carpaccio and empanada duet being outstanding by itself should have an even number of empanadas (when you're sharing)"
Dined on 6/11/2014
My party and I chose this place
with no prior knowledge of what it had to offer. We were pleasantly surprised that all elements from the food to the service to the ambience far exceeded our expectations. We definitely plan to revisit when we return to Miami!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
The service at this location was
excellent. We had reservations, and we were seated promptly at a nice table in the middle of the restaurant. We had two servers being attentive to us all night. Our glasses were not empty for longer than a minute throughout the night. In my opinion, the food was not good. We had the escargot as our appetizer, which was delicious! Then we had filet mignons(medium), baked potato, and grated potatoes. The food was not tasty, and the meat was not tender either. The house drinks were ok. Later we opted to continue with red wine. Overall, the service was impeccable, the establishment was very nice, however the food was not up to par. I can't recommend and I hardly doubt I'll return."
Dined on 6/6/2014
The service is Great . Food is
good & price OK . Just don't ever order Kobe steak ( Not worth high $92)"
Dined on 6/1/2014
Great food, for meat and seafood
lovers , great service, beautiful place and beautiful people."
Dined on 5/31/2014
Service was much too pushy and
overall price/value ratio was average"
Dined on 5/27/2014
The food was ok - but the serving
people do not make your stay a true experience. They are focussed on making money rather than you."
Dined on 5/22/2014
Was there 2 years ago and was
excited. But this time service was bad (our) and the food was OK but not fantastic. Get better filets at Smith&Wollensky or at Mortons for less money. Will not try again."
Dined on 5/18/2014
The staff could not have been
nicer and more responsive. The foie gras appetizer (grilled) was very good and the bread was fantastic. The atmosphere was nice and the wine list was impressive. Now for the bad news, the main courses were just awful. Our $50 filet was overcooked and completely tasteless. The special of the evening (sea bass with truffle oil) was, frankly, inedible. The undercooked fish and truffle mash potatoes were so soaked with truffle oil that you could taste nothing else but the oil. Overall the experience was disappointing. Hopefully their chef gets it together with his and/or her main courses as the atmosphere and wait staff could not have been nicer."
Dined on 5/17/2014
food was delicious. The
restaurant was a bit noisy, but not so noisy that you couldn't hear other diners. We took clients there and had a great meal. The only recommendation I have however is to allow parties to designate indoor or outdoor on the reservation. Fortunately someone else didn't show so we were able to get an indoor table; outdoor would have been unpleasant in the humidity. As I had not been there before, I had no idea that we were subject to sitting outside. "
Dined on 5/15/2014
filet was not cooked as I ate in
other steak-house in USA. The name of the restaurant is not capable of way of cooking the filet."
Dined on 5/14/2014
For some reason, I was not
expecting much from this place, probably because I don't eat meat very often. However, I was in for a treat. I took the Kobe filet mignon and have to admit, although on the pricy side, it was the best I ever ate and worth every penny. I highly recommend it."
Dined on 5/13/2014
It took our food 50 minutes to
come out of the kitchen. Skirt steak was chewy and not well cooked. My daughters Filet Mignon was rare when we asked for it to be well done. The bread in the beginning was excellent. Over all, food and service mediocre. The restaurant itself is nice. Outdoor seating lovely just wished food was better."
Dined on 5/11/2014
Excellent service and great food
in the middle of Lincoln Road. Usually the service at all these restaurants is very lousy. The service was impeccable! The food was delicious. We sat outside but the inside can be noisy but it's great for groups. "
Dined on 5/10/2014
one of the best in miami but
beware of the prices!!"
Dined on 5/10/2014
The French speaking waiter was a
real disaster. He asked if I knew what pheasant is; he corrected my wife because he couldn't accept that she likes her steak "medium-rare"; he didn't mention any ot the specials of the day; he couldn't care less about anything all the evening. As for the food, our risotto and seabass were well cooked but the taste was horrible because of too much butter. The place is beautiful and you can have a conversation even when it is almost full. "
Dined on 4/28/2014
My experience was more than I
expected. I was searching for the Tomahawk rib-ey! found it, devoured it! Dang that was good! Wonderful wonderful cheerful staff! This place was worth every penny!"
Dined on 4/26/2014
This was our first dinner
experience at Meat Market. The service was excellent and the food was delicious, especially the meats and the sea bass. We will definitely be back!"
Dined on 4/23/2014
Tremendous kudos to Luca & the
service professionals that enhanced the meal with delectable food, but enhanced our lives with smiles & laughter. Allison and her professional, friendly demeanor were welcome conversation throughout the meal. Tuna Tartare, Truffle Roasted Escargot (FANCY!!) & Wahoo Ceviche, all full of flavor & personality, while being divine & mouthwatering. The steak was cooked to perfection & accompanied by flavor enhancing sauces. We loved the Atomic Horseradish Truffle Sauce & Wild Mushroom Truffle Sauce. Dessert for us was Luca's choice, and when we thought dinner couldn't get any better, there was Chocolate Lava Cake with Salted Caramel Gelato (OMG!), & a Key Lime Cheesecake concoction that won't soon be forgotten."
Dined on 4/21/2014
This is a modern take on "steak
house". The food was very good & the steaks were excellent. The wine list is well curated & I enjoyed talking with the sommelier (Allison). We had the '06 Peter Michael & it was perfect with our dinners. They have a range of trophy wines & affordable gems incl many french wines. The outdoor dining is very nice, but b/c we had a larger party, they sat us inside. The table was right up front so we got "bumped" by passersby, but it was ok. The service was just right: there when we needed them. Definitely would recommend and will return!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
Everything from the Black Truffle
Oil to Lobster Mac and Cheese, this place nailed it. I went for my birthday and was happy to find that Meat Market is as good as my friends told me. The steaks cooked to perfection and delicious. All and all a great spot if you want to a nice meal."
Dined on 4/8/2014
...at Meat Market is going to set
you back quite a few bucks, especially if you're ordering appetizers, sides and wine as we did. The wine list is very interesting, though there weren't many bottles that were moderately priced. That said, my steak was excellent and my dinner companions all enjoyed their meals."
Dined on 4/7/2014
Good food, service , and
atmosphere. Definately a go-to spot when in Miami"

Okay, so I am a low time private pilot out of Redlands Ca. I am looking for time in the air. If at all possible I would love to ride right seat on a few flights. I am more than willing to help with the fuel and lunch, just don't expect too much as like all low time pilots money is not something I have a lot of. I am working on my instrument rating at this time. Since I have to fly so many hours, some being X-country I signed up for PNP soon as Ifound out about the cause. I figured, what a great way to put the hours I am going to be flying anyway to good use! Now I would just like to get a mission!
Thanks everyone!

Stay on Track
Checklist for this Week, July 23, 2012
For freshmen and sophomores
High school is quickly approaching. In a month you will begin your "high school experience." There are three critical aspects of making the most of the next four years:
- Be sure that you have chosen the most rigorous courses that you can handle successfully. The skills you will gain in these classes will be your preparation for the future.
- Explore school activities. The key to enjoying high school is to get involved. Choose activities that you have an interest in and go for it. You will learn organizational and leadership skills and have a great deal of fun along the way.
- Consider community activities. Finding a place to make a contribution to your community is both rewarding and fun. Don't give up your volunteer experience once school starts. These efforts keep you connected to the real world.
- Combining learning and extracurricular activities will give you the richest of high school experiences.
For sophomores
This is the year that you will start to take "practice" tests for future college entrance exams. Familiarize yourself with test formats by visiting the following websites:
- College Board (www.collegeboard.com)
- ACT (www.act.org)
For juniors
Your summer vacation may present a unique opportunity for you. Soon you will be choosing a college, so it is never too early to start visiting college campuses to gain information.
If your family's summer trip puts you in the vicinity of a possible college choice, take the time to make a campus visit.
For seniors
You accomplished a great deal in recent weeks as you prepared your resume. Now it is time to move on to another summer task that will save you more time during the upcoming year. It is time to start composing the rough drafts of your college essays. Here are a few pointers for crafting this important part of your college application:
- Personal: Your best essay will be the one that reflects you and your personality. The purpose of the college essay, in addition to getting a sense of your writing ability, is for the college to know who you are. Don't try to write something you think the college wants to hear. Be yourself.
- Purpose: As you write your essay, be sure to address the topic that the application provided. Follow the directions for your essay, and use it as an opportunity to relate personal insights.
- Proofread: Use spell check on the final draft of your essay. Have your parents, friends, teachers, counselor, or a neighbor read the essay. They will give you honest feedback, and they will know if it truly reflects you. They can also check for punctuation and grammar mistakes. Some college evaluators are very concerned with correct grammar and spelling, so you want your essay to be in appropriate written form.
For parents
With working teens in your household this summer, it is a good time to sit down and have some "money management" discussions. Here are a few topics that you may want to cover:
- Outline the financial obligations for which you expect your teenager to be responsible.
- Discuss how much of their summer earnings should be placed in a savings account for emergencies or unexpected costs.
- Prepare a list of all of the costs expected over the next school year.
- Review the family financial plan for college funding.
- Emphasize the fact that colleges expect students, as well as parents, to save for higher education.
- Investigate opening a checking account for your child or letting them use a debit card so that they can begin to learn about money management issues.

Invest in the Old and Boring
Nobody trusts Wall Street anymore. So is this the time to lean against the crowd?
Maybe this is not a good time to talk about investing in the stock market, because stocks have been bouncing up and down like a yo-yo. Everyone seems to think that the market is rigged, and that it's no place to put money you ever expect to see again in this lifetime.
Many of my baby boomer friends were spooked by the 2007-09 stock market crash. The value of their IRA and 401(k) plans swooned just when they were starting to pay attention—when they were in their mid-50s and spying retirement on the horizon.
One friend vowed in 2009 that as soon as the Dow Jones average got back up to 10,000 she was going to sell all her mutual funds and put her savings into safe, secure bank CDs. She followed through on her promise. But now she has missed out on substantial gains, and earns a pitiful 1 to 2 percent return on her deposits. After taxes and inflation, she's losing money.
Another friend received a settlement when he was laid off from his corporate job about two years ago. Instead of investing that money in stocks or bonds, he bought a vacation condo in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He "got a good deal" and he's been able to rent it out. But the rental agent takes a good chunk of his revenue, and condo fees eat up most of the rest. Meanwhile, real-estate prices in Myrtle Beach have sagged another few percentage points.
Now that the stock market is no longer the "next new thing" it's time to take a closer look. And since mutual funds are considered boring and passe—especially compared to sexier ETFs and Internet stocks—just possibly they are now the safest and smartest way to invest your hard-earned savings.
There are thousands of mutual funds. Most of them, by definition, are average. They often charge high fees and produce mediocre returns. Some are worse than average, designed to enrich their sponsors at your expense.
But if you do just a little research on a financial site like Morningstar, and then go shopping at Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, or another discount broker, you can find a decent mutual fund that will almost certainly do better than your bank, with less risk and less work than a real-estate investment.
You don't need to obsess about picking the very best fund, or the one that's on everyone's top-ten list. You only need a mutual fund that's better than average, which is not that hard to find. Look for a no-load fund rated at least three stars by Morningstar that is widely diversified and charges a management fee of less than 1 percent.
Laura Dogu, co-author of The Bogleheads Guide to Retirement Planning and contributor to the Bogleheads community website, vouches for Vanguard founder John Bogle's approach to safe investing. She says owning just three funds—Vanguard Total Stock Market Index fund, Vanguard Total International Stock Market Index fund, and Vanguard Total Bond Market fund—will provide you with a low cost, broadly diversified portfolio that is simple to manage.
I prefer conservative equity income funds that offer a mix of stocks and bonds, like the Fidelity Asset Manager Fund (FASIX), a four-star fund with fees of 0.56 percent, or Vanguard's Wellesley Fund (VWINX), a five-star fund with a management fee of just 0.25 percent.
I've owned a number of individual stocks and many mutual funds over the years, some good and some bad. After I retired and moved my 401(k) over to an IRA in 2004, I bought 10 funds at Fidelity. Now, eight years later in a topsy-turvey market, nine of them have made money and one turned out to be a clunker.
Nine out of ten isn't bad. These funds have not made me rich, but altogether they've done better than any of the individual stocks I've ever owned, and they've easily bested the 1 percent you get from your friendly-but-miserly neighborhood bank.

The first meeting between Carmelo Anthony and his former team will highlight Saturday's 10-game NBA schedule when the New York Knicks host the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden. Tip-off is planned for 7:30 p.m. (ET).
Ironically, just a few of Anthony's old teammates are still playing for the Nuggets, who have totally reshaped their roster and are off to a much better start than the Knicks. In Denver's previous trip to New York last season, the only two players joining Anthony in the lineup who are still starting for the Nuggets are shooting guard Arron Afflalo and power forward Nene Hilario. Both of them signed five-year deals in the offseason to remain with the team, something Anthony did not want when he publicly demanded a trade.
Anthony was sent to the Knicks last February 21 in a blockbuster deal, but things have not worked out according to plan.
New York had dropped four straight games heading into Friday night's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Anthony has been bothered by an ankle injury that caused him to miss one game and struggle mightily in two more since then, as he has made just 14 of his 49 attempts from the field (29%), including 2-of-10 from 3-point range. The Knicks have covered the spread in the last five meetings with the Nuggets, but in four of those games they were underdogs.
Denver is heading in the opposite direction with four wins in five games going into a visit with the Washington Wizards on Friday. The team improved to 6-1 against the spread on the road after pulling out a 108-104 overtime win against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The Nuggets will try to continue New York's struggles at home, where the Knicks had gone 1-9 ATS in their previous 10 before facing the Bucks.
Anthony is not the only Eastern Conference star who has been fighting an injury, as the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks have all been without one of their top players lately. The Heat have bounced back from a season-high three-game losing streak by winning two straight in impressive fashion despite being without shooting guard Dwyane Wade due to an ankle injury.
Wade's absence has allowed star teammate LeBron James to shine, as he has averaged 32 points in helping beat the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers at home. Miami hosts Philadelphia next on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in a rematch of last year's first-round playoff series. The Heat beat the 76ers in five games but went 2-3 ATS.
The Bulls have played their last two games without reigning MVP Derrick Rose, who has been dealing with a sprained big toe. They will be coming off a home game on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers when they host the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Rose played in back-to-back nights last Friday and Saturday before sitting out Monday and Tuesday with Chicago splitting those games.
The Hawks are surprisingly riding a four-game winning streak since losing power forward Al Horford for at least three months with a torn pectoral muscle. They host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7:00 p.m. and have covered the last six meetings in the series, winning the past four.
Lone Star State rivals San Antonio and Houston will also square off Saturday when the Rockets host the Spurs. San Antonio took a 1.5-game lead in the Southwest Division into Friday's home tilt with Sacramento, with idle Houston two back. The Rockets are 6-1 at home this season, also going 6-1 vs. the number on their home floor, while the Spurs are 1-5 away from home both straight up and against the spread.
This will be the third time the two have met on the schedule, each winning at home and Houston covering both contests. The Rockets were 3-point underdogs in Houston on Dec. 29 when they pulled off the 105-85 upset.

isotope i·so·tope (ī'sə-tōp')
One of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
|isotope (ī'sə-tōp') Pronunciation Key
One of two or more atoms that have the same atomic number (the same number of protons) but a different number of neutrons. Carbon 12, the most common form of carbon, has six protons and six neutrons, whereas carbon 14 has six protons and eight neutrons. Isotopes of a given element typically behave alike chemically. With the exception of hydrogen, elements found on Earth generally have the same number of protons and neutrons; heavier and lighter isotopes (with more or fewer neutrons) are often unstable and undergo radioactive decay.
In physics, different forms of the same element, with nuclei that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes are distinguished from each other by giving the combined number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. For example, uranium 235 is the isotope of uranium that has 235 protons and neutrons in its nucleus rather than the more commonly occurring 238. All elements have isotopes.

No mention of the PHP Security Consortium, in which Chris wrote the book on this stuff, literally: phpsec.org
This is an article discussion thread for discussing the SitePoint article, "Top 7 PHP Security Blunders"
Pretty good until the part about sql insertion vulnerabilities. magic_quotes_gpc is a really terrible configuration option: it escapes all your data (even data you might not want escaped) and it escapes it in a way that assumes you will be using mysql as the database (not every database handles escaping in the same way).
I think the worst thing about it is it promotes a careless attitude towards data tainting (one magic config and now I don't have to think about it any more.) A much better idea for avoiding sql injection attacks is to use bound parameters via a db abstraction library like pear DB. See my blog @ http://metapundit.net/sections/blog/45 for example...
great article really helpful. should be read by all php programmers.
yes, it's a good article! great idea too!
still many things i need to know when it comes to PHP security.. :'(
nice article! enjoyed reading it... :)
Sweeeet. Top security articles ever read.
Let's solve the security problem in two pages! YAY!
Here are some additional notes and corrections. I hope they help.
> User-provided data simply cannot be trusted.
Users aren't the only source of input. No input can be trusted.
> An extremely malicious user could append ";rm -rf" to the
> year value and delete your entire Website!
Maybe the attacker will also forget to specify any files to remove. :-)
> You should check the user's credentials upon every load
> of a restricted page of your PHP application.
Be careful. Most people equate "user's credentials" with a username and password. Surely you don't mean to suggest that developers expose such sensitive data more than necessary (once).
> It's also advisable to layer your security, for example,
> by restricting user access on the basis of the user's IP
> address as well as their user name, if possible."
Enforcing IP consistency is only applicable in environments where you have control over the network layer. For a public web application, this is a terrible idea.
> Use the PHP include function to include these files from
> a directory that's not Web-accessible, possibly including
> an .htaccess file containing "deny from any".
I think you mean deny from all:
This offers no protection if these files are not stored within document root. Redundant safeguards are great, but this isn't a safeguard.
> Always name these include files with a .php extension, so
> that even if all your protection is bypassed, the Web
> server will parse the PHP code, and will not display it
> to the user.
Executing code out of context is an additional and unnecessary risk. I would argue that it's safer to instruct Apache to deny access to .inc resources (in httpd.conf) and store includes outside of document root. That's Defense in Depth. Naming includes .php eliminates the potential to add this extra safeguard, plus it just exchanges one risk for another.
> Never, ever, make a backup of a php file in your
> Web-exposed directory by adding .bak or another extension
> to the filename. If you do this, the PHP code in the file
> will not be parsed by the Web server, and may be output
> as source to a user who stumbles upon a URL to the backup
> file.
Surprisingly enough, this isn't true:
> If you must store a password in a session variable, do
> not store the password in clear text; use the sha1()
> (PHP 4.3+) or md5() function to store the hash of the
> password instead.
Don't store a user's password in the session. Sessions aren't as exposed as data you output to or receive from a user, but unnecessary exposure of a user's password is never a good idea.
> To prevent this type of attack, you must perform user
> input validation by disallowing any <script> tags from
> being submitted to your forms. Always convert the < and >
> characters in user input that may be viewed by other
> users to < and >.
You're describing two separate things. Validation (also known as filtering) ensures data integrity. Escaping (converting special characters to their HTML entity equivalents) ensures data preservation. Filter input. Escape output.
Also, Cross-site scripting (XSS) is an output escaping problem, not an input filtering one:
Again, redundant safeguards are great, but always make sure the primary safeguard addresses the root cause of the problem.
> SQL insertion vulnerabilities are yet another class of
> input validation flaws.
I think you mean SQL injection vulnerabilities. I've never heard this one misnamed, but inconsistent naming is a problem with other vulnerabilities such as cross-site request forgeries. The Web Application Security Consortium is trying to help:
> To alleviate this problem, ensure that your
> magic_quotes_gpc PHP ini variable is turned on, which is
> the default in most recently released versions of PHP.
Oh. My. God.
Never enable magic quotes. :-)
> If you're developing software that may be installed on

> change the php.ini file, use code to check that status of
> magic_quotes_gpc and, if it is turned off, pass any user

Use a database-specific escaping function when possible. Also, do this on output, not input.

This is a good point, but didn't you recommend using HTTP authentication earlier?

You can't disable register_globals in a PHP script unless you're using a very old version of PHP. See here for a list of configuration directives and where you can set them:
This dispelGlobals() function might be helpful:
> phpAdvisory is another great site focused on PHP
> security. It lists PHP-related advisories and provides
> articles dealing with various aspects of PHP security.
The information on this site appears to be at least 3 years old, so it's not a good place to look for advisories. The PHP Security Consortium is a more updated resource:
It has a library with links to other helpful resources, PHP-specific summaries of the SecurityFocus newsletters, the PHP Security Guide, and a couple of articles.
I hope this was helpful.
Wow. Now that's what I call a comprehensive critique. Impressive, Shiflett.
It needs saying again: God no! NEVER ENABLE MAGIC QUOTES.
A couple of other points that were missed from the article and Shiflett's post.
If you're passing untrusted data to exec(), you can use regex to validate yes, but you should also use escapeshellarg() and / or escapeshellcmd().
addslashes() is ok for sql input I suppose, but you'll probably find a command more suited to your database engine. For example, MySQL has mysql_real_escape_string()
(taken from php.net)
// Quote variable to make safe
function quote_smart($value)
// Stripslashes
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$value = stripslashes($value);
// Quote if not integer
if (!is_numeric($value)) {
$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
return $value;
I use the above, but with !is_int && !is_float rather than is_numeric. Else you end up with phone numbers like "+44123456879" or "07931712345" losing the + / 0 respectively when being passed to the DB.
"you can develop your own error handling functions that are automatically invoked when PHP encounters an error, and can email you"
Not recomendable, unless you really want your inbox to be flooded within minutes
And like shiflett already mentioned,
never ever store passwords in sessions. You simply don't need them anymore, after a user is logged in. All you need is the user_id and a flag which indicates true(logged in) or false (not logged in
An easy way to secure files from being directly accessed is to include the following code at the top of each file. This method has the advantage that does not rely upon the hosting environment to secure the files.
PHP Code:
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) exit();
In addition to what's already said, "$_GET[month]" is an invalid syntax.
petersj: That method isn't secure at all. If I access one of your files with ?=blah at the end it'll let me in. PHP_SELF doesn't store querystring data whereas REQUEST_URI does.
Thanks everyone for the points about passwords and sessions. It's a mistake I've been making and only just realised how stupid it is. Back soon, off to rewrite some session classes :)
No mention by the article or anyone else about the location of there config file..
If at all possible ALWAYS put your config files outside of your web path. This reduces the risk of exposure due to things like a bad php upgrade.
It look as though a lot of these tips can transfer to other programming languages as well. Helpful.
Here we go again... addslashes() :D
Not everyone quotes integer. So here's a version that'll break your addslashes:Quote:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='$username' AND pass='$password';
However, if the user who's logging in is devious, he may enter the following as his password:
This results in the query being sent to the database as:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='known_user' AND pass='' OR '1'='1';
if (magic_quotes_gpc()){
$username = $_GET["username"];
} else {
$username = addslashes($_GET["username"]);
It still amazes me how many people get SQL injection wrong.Code:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='$username' AND pass='$password';
$password = blah' OR 1=1 OR 'blah' = 'blah
Solution to this: firstly always have a list of accepted formats for your inputs, and reject whatever doesn't match one of those. Secondly, use a query builder or prepared query, like what PEAR-DB or ADODB support. 1=1 will not work if you use prepared queries.
Some more:
Configuring PHP For Security ->
open_basedir - should set this in your vhost:
Having modsecurity installed will also catch most of the stuff you mentioned in the article.Code:
<Directory /path/to/website>
php_admin_value open_basedir "/path/to/website:/tmp"
I think that email header injection attacks are fairly common.
$header = "From: $email";
mail( $to, $subject, $body, $header );
You had better make sure $email is a valid address.
according to the security section of the PHP, you should code without magic quotes, and instead properly escape your data.
Very interesting read, thanks for all the tips.
Oh yeah, this article is dugg at the mo ;-)
Magic quotes will almost assuredly be removed from PHP6.
Here's the developers notes from a meeting about PHP6.
Not every server will have magic quotes enabled anyways, so no matter what you have to check all the incoming data.
and of course i hath stated the obvious after everyone has already pointed out the wrong bits :-).
Speaking of phpinfo(), I got curious about a week ago and did a Google search for "phpinfo.php"... go ahead, try it, and witness the hundreds of thousands of developers leaving their configuration information wide-open to the world.
I'm not giving the exact website, but a University had a phpinfo file and I used that to find out the register_globals was turned on. That university also had a test login page for their MySQL server set up (and available on google). I plugged in ?user=root&password= (default username/password for MySQL) on the end of the URL and, just like that, I had root access to their database. Silly rabbits...
One issue I have seen is also of note is formmail scripts (not matt's, but any type of email that uses user provided input) that don't properly validate fields being used. For example, here's a common flaw I have seen:
A malicous user or bot could insert \n\r (or is it \r\n?) to add an additional To header to send out spam, which will overide the first parameter sent to mail.PHP Code:
$messgae = $_POST['message'];
$headers = $_POST['from'];
mail('firstname.lastname@example.com', 'Contact Form Submission', $message, $headers);
The solution is to stripout newlines, don't use their email address in such a way, or use a library (e.g. PEAR::Mail_Mime, PEAR::Mail) to do it for you.

Anyone remember the hilarious YouTibe video of the kid that went through each game on the schedule and predicted an ISU victory in each one? When he got to the Iowa game he goes..."Iowa....Big Ten, right?.......WRONG!!!" Hilarious.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Been trying to find it again with no luck.
I've seen that video and frankly...that kid was not smart. I couldn't help but laughing what I did watch, and I only watched about half way through.

I thought that was seriously painful to watch. I went back and found the video he was responding to on youtube, and I'm wrong. THAT was painful to watch.
Pretty funny. Not sure if that kids knows anything about football but at least he was close to the Nebraska game. Loved the prediction of the Texas A&M game 43-12??? A good laugh. Don't tell me none of you ever think that way at the beginning of our football season.
I like where he said we blocked a kick to beat KSU. Ironic. That video was pretty funny I thought.
I'm on Twitter too: Tre4ISU
Or so I have read.
that was effing hilarious i needed that today....this kid has issues. Like the confidence in our program but just hilarious lmao
