- 75 per cent of UK parents think that children see inappropriate content through online advertisements* -
Children as young as five are being exposed to online advertisements and pop-up adverts that contain adult content such as gambling, dating services, as well as sexualised imagery, according to Till Faida, co-founder of Adblock Plus.
Online adverts are often embedded on websites from other sources, making it unlikely that web filters (the primary way many parents protect their children online) will pick up on them.
As a result, Adblock Plus is offering advice as to how parents can protect their children from illicit and inappropriate material, which appears via online advertising.
According to research from Adblock Plus, the average person comes into contact with over 500 online adverts and pop-ups a day. These can range from credit cards and gambling, to 'no-strings-attached' online dating. While most adults are fairly confident at recognising and closing adverts of this nature, Till Faida suggests that for younger users, these can cause confusion and even distress, through the images used.
Till commented: "The growth in online gaming and interactive websites mean children as young as five can competently navigate their way around the internet. Many parents are happy to let their children log on unsupervised, as they believe they are free from accessing adult material, due to installed web filters. A recent report from Ofcom into media use and attitudes amongst parents and children, highlighted that of those surveyed, 85 per cent had online controls in place to ensure against their child accessing adult content, as well as teaching them online safety."
Till continued: "This is all well and good but parents need to realise such measures do not go far enough. The growth in online advertising mean marketers and advertisers are operating in a very competitive field and are therefore becoming much more aggressive in their tactics to ensure their message is seen and clicked through. As a result, a child could be innocently clicking away when something pops up that gets their attention and they click through, opening up to content of a very adult nature.
"We recently conducted a survey into consumer attitudes of online advertisements and our results indicated that 75 per cent of surveyed participants felt that the online advertisements seen by children displays inappropriate content. It's therefore clear that parents recognise the concerns around online advertisements, however, there's now the challenge of teaching them how to assert measures and control them."
Till concluded: "In order to combat this, adblocking software is widely available and is a creditable way of blocking pop-ups and intrusive online adverts. Currently interest and adoption of adblocking software and technology is steadily growing - we alone at Adblock Plus have over 40 million registered users and over 100 million downloads. The appeal adblocking holds for the community and users is that they can benefit from quicker loading and cleaner looking web pages free from advertisements, lower resource waste, and privacy benefits gained through the exclusion of the tracking and profiling systems of ad delivery platforms.
"Currently no web browser offers adblocking capabilities as part of its child protection tools, however, the software can easily be downloaded, giving the power back to the parent, ensuring that the child is free to use the internet without the risk of exposure to inappropriate content."

Notes to editor
* Research conducted by Censuswide between 29th January 1st February 2013, across a sample of 1,175 adults, responding to the question, "do you think that children see inappropriate content through online advertisements?" Results highlighted 885 respondents replied 'Yes' and 290 replied 'No'.

I just have to share this ...
Although I had quite a bit of growth on my Dutchman's Pipevine last season, this is the first time I've found what I believe to be flower buds on these vines. Just had to share my discovery with everyone. I do hope I get some seed this year.
Oh yes, also saw my second big healthy Black Swallowtail feeding on the Purple Homestead Verbena today! ... Mary
Aristolochia tomentosa - Dutchman's Pipevine Flower buds
Yes, Susan, it is this year's growth. Hasn't this weather been crazy lately. I couldn't believe my eyes when I glanced up to see how much growth it had put on and noticed these little buds all over it. My first time watching these vines bloom so no idea how long it will be before the buds open. Hope they wait until there are pollinators flying around.
Is spring in full swing out your way?
Hi, Mary! Great photo of the tomentosa buds. It will take a bit for the blooms to open. I hope you get a pollinator.
I saw your post on Journey North that you have milkweed up. Mine is peeking through, also. Even one of the variegata's that the gopher didn't get! Isn't spring marvelous with all the new life just popping?
Saw my first Monarch flying through last week. Didn't stop, so I'm hopeful there will be plenty of milkweed when more show up. Looks like the scouts are out, which makes me wonder if they are able to communicate their findings. So many mysteries.
Hi Sandy,
Happy Spring to you! And doing the happy dance for your surviving A variegata. One of these days, we're going to get a seed pod off of these beauties! :-)
I have yet to see a Monarch this spring. My A variegata is already up about 12-14 inches and so far, I have 11 stalks on the wild plant. Another 3rd year baby A variegata is showing nice, strong stalks this year. A tuberosa (Butterfly Weed), swamp, showey and common milkweed all showing growth and the overwintered A curassavica is growing strong in pots on the deck. I'm ready for the little gems!
My husband is very ill so I don't think I'll have time to mother the little cats this season but I can at least try and provide host and nectar plants for them.
Please keep us posted on your sightings. I so enjoy reading about everyone's experiences.
Congrats on your flower buds, Mary!
My vines are covered with them, as usual, but I've never gotten even ONE seed pod from them! I opened up one of them, and there were lots of little gnats in it, so here's hoping that one of them will pollinate one of the flowers!
If you get a seed pod from yours, I want you to post a picture of it from every angle, never having seen one myself! :0
Pipevine flowers emit a carrion-like odor which attracts tiny little flies. They are trapped inside until the flower drops, releasing the flies to pollinate yet another flower. So those little gnats you found are the pollinating flies. Cool, huh?
Hi Sherry,
Nice to read you again :-) and thank you for the congrats.
I think your Mississippi weather has moved to our area of the country. You have such a wonderfully long growing season but for my area, this early spring is simply amazing. I will watch and hope for a pipevine seed pod and if one shows up, I promise to take a photo for you. Also happy to read about your new seedlings this year. It is such fun to watch the development of 'new to us' plants.
Susan, thank you so much for the information regarding the little pollinators for the pipevine. Who would ever have thought tiny flies would be pollinators! I learn so much from this fantastic group.
I'm thinking that I mustn't have many of those fly pollinators around here because the first year (2010) that my pipevine (A. macrophylla) bloomed and had tons of flowers I only got one seed pod out of all of those hundreds or thousands of flowers. Last year I didn't get any seed pods at all. I gave all of my seeds away the year before because I have plenty of pipevine already, but it's always nice to have seeds to give away so others can hopefully experience the joy of having Pipevine Swallowtails.
Good close-up Mary. How neat that it's only March and you already have blooms starting. I'm enjoying this early spring. I hope it doesn't get ruined by a freeze.
I have read that people use raw chicken necks or even road kill to attract pollinating flies to pawpaw trees. It might work with pipevine too. It's rather gross though.
Sandy, if you read this, my A. clematitis is coming up after all. I am going to dig some up and move it to the front. It must be one TOUGH pipevine because I didn't water the backyard last year at all. Now, can you imagine a plant surviving those absolutely awful temps we had - well over 60 days of +100 temps - PLUS the drought? Whew, it must be one tenacious plant is all I can say.
Mary, I forgot to ask you, is your 3rd year A. variegata from one of the seeds you grew?
Yes, the 3rd year A. variegata is from a seed (please see photo below); the seed that ctnchpr generously shared with us in 2009. This is the first year it has shown what I would call, good strong growth. The first two years the top growth was rather spindly but this year, they look like the emerging shoots of the wild A. variegata, thick and strong from the get go. I hope it has developed a good root system and is now ready to put forth some energy in top growth.
I have another baby that was growing strong last year but I've yet to see any signs of life this spring. We didn't have as severe a drought last season as you guys in OKC experienced but it was awfully hot and dry here over a long period of time. Still watching his growing spot for signs of life; I hope I didn't let the little guy die from lack of water. ... Mary
A. variegata - AKA Red Ring Milkweed - 3rd season new spring growth from plant started from seed in 2009.
I agree with Susan, you must be one great gardener! I discovered two more very tiny variegata sprouts. The good news is that the Purple MW that the gopher got last year and almost destroyed is coming back! I took the remnants of the plant that he had drug down into the soil and planted them in two pots. The two pots are sprouting. I was so nervous that I might lose this plant that was so beautiful last year. I will put window screening in a deep hole and replant the Purple MW.
I saw Mary Ann at a sale here in Tulsa yesterday. She planted some more variegata this year, but apparently it has yet to sprout. So I'm on the list and will send her an email to keep in touch. I hope to get to go back this year.
Susan, hooray for the clematitis returning!! Mine seems to be so hardy; however, it has yet to make an appearance this year. But, I'm sure it will. I have had a lot of seed pods the last two years. But, this is one of those plants that is tricky to germinate. It needs two cold periods - which makes me think it takes two years in the wild to germinate. I'll be putting the seeds back in the fridge in a couple of weeks. I have had success with germination and growing this plant. It just takes lots of patience. Wish I could say I'm successful at growing variegata!
The gophers are already busy, as are the moles. So, I will be planting some Castor bean plants in the garden in hopes that it will repel them.
Susan, we need to plan a trip to Pine Ridge to see Mary Ann this summer. Maybe we can meet up with others from the area.

Homemade Granola Bars for Tu Bishvat
Tu Bishvat is not the holiday that commemorates the destruction of the temple; that's Tisha B'Av, though I understand why it can be confusing.
I had not even heard of Tu Bishvat until college when I attended a seder celebrating the holiday. And while it may sound a bit crunchy to celebrate a holiday for the trees, nuts and fruit, it comes at a time in our lives as modern Jews when appreciating our natural resources and the environment is more important than ever.
You can host a full-on seder, or also just take a moment to appreciate and acknowledge our relationship to the land. You can even make a batch of fruit-filled sangria, though my daughter and I decided to try our hand this year at chewy granola bars packed with dried fruit and almonds in honor of Tu Bishvat. We chose to use a combination of dried cherries, blueberries and raisins, though you could use any combo of dried fruit that you like.
This recipe was inspired by this version from Alton Brown.

2 cups oats
½ cup raw sunflower seeds
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter
½ cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup ground flax seed
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup mixed dried fruit such as apricots, raisins, cranberries, cherries, blueberries
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 square pan.
Spread the oats and sunflower seeds out on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring 1-2 times.
Meanwhile heat butter, brown sugar, honey and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat until brown sugar has completely melted.
Once the oats and sunflower seeds are done toasting, remove from oven and reduce heat to 300 degrees. Place oats, sunflower seeds, flax seed, cinnamon, salt, almonds and dried fruit into a large bowl. Add melted butter-sugar mixture and combine until completely coated.
Pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread out evenly using an offset spatula. This step is important to ensuring even granola bars.
Bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container.

Mollie Katzen's Grilled Bread and Kale Salad with Red Onions, Walnuts and Figs
Tu Bishvat is the perfect holiday for locavores, school kids and home cooks, alike. It's a fruit-focsued holiday with plenty of room for creative cooking and connecting more deeply with the land as Spring approaches.
School kids love the field trips to plant trees while home cooks and chefs dream up new ideas for integrating the seven edible species mentioned in the Torah:
When M. returned from a quick trip to visit his parents in Israel, he brought back a tightly wrapped disc of plump, moist figs in his backpack. I immediately turned to Mollie Katzen's latest vegetarian book The Heart of the Plate for inspiration on how to integrate these beauties into a dish where figs would be the stars while I stay true to eating within the growing season here in the Northeast.
This kale-based salad really hit the spot and was almost too beautiful to eat! Almost. Check out more from Mollie Katzen and her newest cookbook The Heart of the Plate!
5-6 ripe figs (dried are fine)
1-2 Tbsp fresh lemon or lime
3 ounces parmesan cheese
1 loaf ciabatta or sourdough baguette (fresh or day-old)
1 large or 2 small bunches lacinato kale (1/2 pound total)
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 small red onion, cut in half and then into 1/4 inch thick slices
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted
black pepper
lemon or lime wedges
Stem the figs and slice them lengthwise into about 5 wedges apiece. Place them in a medium dish and sprinkle with lemon or line juice. Toss gently to coat and set aside.
Shave strips of parmesan from the block of cheese, using a sturdy vegetable peeler. Lovely cheese ribbons will ensue. Set aside.
Slice the bread into approximately a dozen thin (as in almost see-through) slices. Larger slices from ciabatta can be halved for easier handling and consumption. Set aside.
Hold each kale leaf by the stem and use a very sharp knife to release the leaf from the stem (it's OK to leave the narrow part of the stem that blends into the leaf farther up).
Make a pile of leaves, roll them tightly, and cut crosswise into thin strips. Transfer to a large bowl of cold water and swish around to clean. Spin very dry and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
Place a large deep skillet over medium heat for about a minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the onion and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt.
Cook, stirring and/or shaking the pan a little, for 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes shiny and is still this side of tender.
Transfer the hot onion to the kale in the bowl and stir everything around for a bit, then return the entire bowlful of kale-plus-onion to the pan. Stir-fry quickly - for just a minute or so - over medium-high heat until the kale turns an even deeper shade of green and wilts slightly.
Return it all to the bowl, tossing in the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. You can add some of the parmesan ribbons at this point, if you like them to melt in slightly.
Remove the pan from the heat, wait a minute or two, then add the vinegar to the pan (stand back - it will sizzle), swirl it around, and pour what's left of it onto the kale. (It will most likely evaporate.)
Without bothering to clean the pan, return it to the stove over medium heat. Wait another minute, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the bread slices in a single layer and grill on each side until lightly golden and perfectly crisp.
Transfer the toasts to the kale, along with the figs and all their juice.
Toss quickly (no need to get things uniform), adding the remaining cheese and walnuts as you go.
Serve right away, passing a pepper mill over the salad and offering wedges of lemon or lime to be squeezed over the figs.

Tu Bishvat Foods Roundup
Happy Tu Bishvat! Today we celebrate the birthday of the trees by eating fruit, nuts, grains, and other things that grow from the ground. Some people like to plant a tree on Tu Bishvat, but personally, I just like to eat cake. For instance, this morning I had a piece of our scandalously delicious Banana Cake for Tu Bishvat. As some people have pointed out, bananas don't grow on trees, but this cake is also packed with nuts, dates, figs and raisins, and I added some chocolate to my version, too. I cannot stress enough how unbelievably good this is. Definitely the best Tu Bishvat dish I've ever made.
But if you're still looking, we have a lemon lavender cake I can recommend, and a lemon and almond semolina cake that will knock your socks off. Combine any of these with a hot cup of tea and you are guaranteed a sweet and happy Tu Bishvat.
Perhaps you're one of the lucky people who went to a Tu Bishvat seder last night, where you drank delicious wine and sangria, maybe got to eat fruit salad, orange and maple baked tofu, granola, Israeli salad, or persimmon cupcakes, all which are yummy Tu Bishvat foods. There's still time to make any of these recipes today if you missed them yesterday.
Or if you're looking for a very low maintenance way to celebrate, how about just stopping by your local grocery and picking up a nice bag of trail mix. As you enjoy the dried fruits and nuts, you can think about all of the great things trees bring to your life. L'chaim! To trees!

The new shell in servicemix is quite a bit different than previous servicemix versions and has been causing some confusion for customers. This change be clearly documented in the release notes, and the new syntax should be described for example stating that commands such as "features list" would now be run like "features/list". Also, as there's no documentation it's not clear how to exit a subshell, for example if I type "osgi" and enter at the console I cannot get back to the root shell with "exit", the "exit" command instead shuts down the ESB.

Foster Care Rights
Georgia Appleseed, in conjunction with King & Spalding LLC, has created two handy reference cards to help foster families understand their rights and benefits under the law: All About You... A Georgia Foster Child's Rights and Benefits and A Georgia Foster Parent's Rights and Benefits.
Just released! Student Tribunals: An Assessment of the Disciplinary Process in Georgia Public Schools
Under Georgia law, a student facing a suspension of more than ten days is entitled to a disciplinary hearing, often called a tribunal. Rarely do students have legal representation at the hearing, contributing to due process violations.
This report examines the fairness of the tribunal and recommends systemic changes to better ensure school discipline is just and fair. Read it here.
Filling the Tribunal Representation Gap
Georgia Appleseeds Young Professionals Council created a training manual and CLE for non-education attorneys representing students pro bono in hearings. The popular course presents experience-based strategies. Sign up here for the ICLE at the Georgia Bar on November 20.
Foster Kids & Tribunals: CLE Participants Opt In
Georgia Appleseed has teamed with the Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) and Fulton County DFCS to identify tribunal-trained attorneys willing to represent foster children who often attend the hearing alone. CLE participants may opt into a volunteer list maintained by the OCA, in collaboration with DFCS.
Education Advocates Foster Educational Success for Children in Care
For children in foster care, multiple placements and changing schools often mean that educational progress and academic achievement are disrupted.
Georgia Appleseed, in partnership with Families First and Georgia CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), has created a first for Georgia: an Education Advocate program. It recruits and trains volunteers to protect the education rights and needs of foster kids at school and in juvenile court

A Turning Point for Georgia's Children: New Juvenile Code Signed into Law
Culminating seven years of effort by GA Appleseed and the JUSTGeorgia coalition, Gov Nathan Deal signed Georgia's new juvenile code into law on May 2, 2013 in Dalton, Georgia.
Leaders of JUSTGeorgia, a statewide coalition working since 2006 to update the juvenile code, called the new law a pivotal moment for Georgia's children and families.
"Georgia's new approach to juvenile law has the potential to have positive impact on generations to come," said Sharon Hill, executive director of Georgia Appleseed, one of three lead partners in the JUSTGeorgia coalition. "This is truly a turning point for our children."
Georgia Appleseed's report, Common Wisdom: Making the Case for a New Georgia Juvenile Code (2008) provided stakeholder input imperative to development of the new code legislation. Thirteen major law firms and more than 260 pro bono volunteers participated in the effort.
Sharon Hill joined with other lead advocates to witness the bill signing. Watch it here.

It's a challenge to direct newcomers: Prabhu Deva

Speaking about his upcoming film titled Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya that stars newcomer Girish Taurani and Shruti Hassan in the lead, the choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva says it's a challenge to direct newcomers.
The director who has worked with superstars like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar in his films in the past, feels it is a challenge to work with newcomers because they are fresh and new and have to be trained in every department.
In 2009 Prabhu Deva made his directorial debut in Bollywood with Wanted. The Salman Khan-starrer was a huge hit and then in 2010 he made another superhit Rowdy Rathore with Akshay Kumar. Both of them were action films.
Now, his third directorial venture in Bollywood is a musical love story with Girish, son of producer Kumar Taurani of Tips. Shruti Hassan however has enjoyed a small stint bollywood having shgared screen space with bollywood biggies like Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan in Luck
"It is a challenge to work with a newcomer. And I am doing this film from my heart and because I liked the subject. It was a good experience," Prabhu Deva said.
"It is a love story, feel good subject. It is a romantic-comedy-musical film," he said.
On why is the film titled Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya, Prabhu says, "Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya means - Ram will you come and it is also a famous song. My hero's name is Ram, so it is a perfect title."
Produced by Tips, the film is scheduled to release in June.

Hornady MonoFlex Bullets 308 Marlin Express (308 Diameter) 140 Grain Flex Tip eXpanding Lead-Free Box of 50
Product #: 373906 Hornady #: 30311 UPC #: 090255303117
Product Information
Hornady has combined the technologies of their GMX bullet line and FTX to create the MonoFlex line of bullets. By creating this bullet lever gun shooters have another bullet in their arsenal. Constructed of gilding metal, the MonoFlex line of bullets offer hunters a solid bullet that will hold together under the toughest conditions and retain 95% of its original weight. One difference between gilding metal and regular solid copper is that gilding metal is harder, tougher and does not foul or increase the pressure the was solid copper bullets do. When the Flex Tip bullet impacts the target, the unique design immediately initiates expansion even at lower velocities that are often encountered in mid to long range lever gun hunting scenarios. The deep penetration and high weight retention combine to produce a bullet that is a great choice for lever gun reloaders.
These bullets are safe to use in all tubular magazines, as well as any other firearm. This is not loaded ammunition.
Technical Information
Caliber: 308 Marlin Express
Bullet Diameter: .308"
Bullet Weight: 140 Grains
Bullet Style: MonoFlex
Ballistics Information
Sectional Density: 0.211
Ballistic Coefficient:0.335

American Connor de Phillippi gets second year as Porsche Junior
Dec 7, 2013, 5:00 PM EDT
After a successful first season racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland in Germany, Connor de Phillippi has been retained by the German manufacturer for a second season as a Porsche Junior driver.
De Phillippi spent three seasons in Star Mazda here in the U.S., but when options failed to materialize for an advancement to Indy Lights (despite his prodigious talent) for 2013, he explored the sports car route.
In his first season, de Phillippi finished ninth in the championship in a field of more than 25 drivers, and was top rookie. He posted 10 top-10 finishes in 17 races, with a best finish of fourth place in the first race at Zandvoort.
"I now know how important it is to achieve a good qualifying result if you want to do well in a Carrera Cup sprint race," he said in a Porsche release. "Winning the rookie classification was a good start. But next year I'll be aiming for the podium. I'm up against some tough opposition, but my dream is to climb to the very top step."
Three others besides the 20-year-old de Phillippi in the Porsche Junior program include Klaus Bachler (22, Austria), Alex Riberas (19, Spain) and Sven Mueller (21, Germany). De Phillippi and Riberas will receive funding of 150,000 Euro – approximately $205,000 – to support another year in Germany's one-make series.
In the past, several of Porsche Junior drivers have been provided opportunities in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, the opening round of the GRAND-AM (now TUDOR Championship) season. With the entry list revealed yesterday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see any of the four Juniors spread among the 12 Porsche GT Americas entered for the race in January.

Reply from Kate and Vicky
Hi Sorrel. Remember when you asked Kate to ask Vicky about the kits in the Ravenpaw mangas? Vicky got back to Kate with an answer. Kate replied to your question on BlogClan, but since the question was pretty old she wasn't sure you'd see the reply there, so she asked me to contact you here with the answer.
Anyway, here are the descriptions for the kits:
"Icicle: sturdy sleek-furred pale gray tom with blue eyes
Snowflake: tiny thick-furred pure white she-cat with yellow eyes
Sniff: dark gray tabby tom with yellow eyes and a bit of a runny nose
Cloudy: pale gray and white she-cat with blue eyes"

I really am sorry for that, but it needed to be said. I work night shift four nights of the week, and I have to sleep and do things like a normal human being, so I can't do everything. You guys (Beebs, you, Jayie, Hawky, and Shinx) are project leads, so the project as a whole expects activity. It doesn't help that some members are pushy and rushing me, either. =/ I've already gotten told more than once I should try and "get more active leads" in the project. tldr; I made that edit summary to jolt you guys so I don't have to resort to something like a VONC or an Inquiry. Those should be used as the absolute last resort. Sorry again, but something had to get you guys to do stuff. =P —Vakarian everybody lies 04:39, 1/21/2015

Prescott Lovern, Sr. (Lovern) has confirmed that EXELON Shareholders have been intentionally, and illegally, kept in the dark about HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of DOLLARS in statutory liability PEPCO has connected to "Customer Deposits," going back many years. PEPCO HOLDINGS, INC. has hundreds of billions $$$$$ in statutory, undisclosed liability that will bankrupt PEPCO & EXELON. High ranking District of Columbia (D.C.) officials, including inside the D.C. Public Service Commission (PSC), Mayor's Office and Attorney General's Office, are intentionally covering-up the illegal conduct because District Officials have been participating in federal felonies, based on precedent U.S. Supreme Court opinions. Lovern gave PSC lawyers the opportunity to dispute the allegations with binding case law but they could NOT, and they refused to put in writing that Lovern is wrong.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is also covering up the illegal conduct throughout PEPCO's service areas, along with all other PEPCO state regulators who are also participating in the federal felonies. FERC and the D.C. – PSC have both approved the merger.
EXELON Shareholders have no idea their Directors have approved a deal that is equivalent to monetary, shareholder equity suicide, as PEPCO's statutory liability [fines] will bankrupt PEPCO & EXELON. Executives and lawyers at EXELON are also covering-up this massive criminal enterprise that includes federal racketeering because EXELON's ComED & BGE are engaged in the same illegal conduct.
Stay tuned.

I adore the Bug Catching Contest in HG/SS. Although bug Pokemon have honestly been a type, I don't favour in general, every time it was on, I'd leap at the chance. The prizes were great in my opinion, stones are definitely a good reward. The Bug Catching Contest also has loads of benefits - You can catch Pokemon like Scyther early instead of waiting for so long.
I'll have to be honest here, usually I come second in the Bug Contest. I rarely come first, maybe Catching Contests aren't really my thing. I dearly wish they were held everyday, that would be awesome xD!

18 kg ganja seized
An inter-State ganja cartel has been busted following the arrest of two persons on Monday and seizure of 18 kgs of ganja from them, the Kollam East police have claimed.
Sub inspector G. Gopakumar gave the identities of the two as Jaganathan, 40, native of Andipetti in Theni district of Tamil Nadu, and Kallan Kumar alias Kallan, 49, of Chengalchoola in Thiruvananthapuram city.
The arrest was following a tip-off that City Police Commissioner Debesh Kumar Behera received a few days ago about the arrival of the duo in Kollam for supplying ganja to two notorious drug peddlers in the city. Mr. Gopakumar said the suspects were one of the main sources of ganja supply in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, and Pathanamthitta districts.
Jaganathan, a post graduate, had allegedly been a ganja dealer since the past 10 years based in Nagerkovil. He was once arrested 10 years ago. Assistant Commissioner of Police B. Krishna Kumar, who supervised the arrests, said the arrested men were the main source of ganja supply to peddlers based at Thiruvananthapuram city, Vizhinjam harbour area, Kovalam, Varkala, Neendakara port, Pallithottam aand Addor and various colonies the three districts.
Mr. Gopakumar said following interrogations the two had given details about 150 peddlers to whom they supply ganja. They source the ganja mainly from Andhra Pradesh and Orissa. The police also seized four mobile phones from Jaganathan. Circle inspector S. Shereef said Kumar was wanted by the Thiruvananthapuram city police in over 20 cases.

My son had to make a project with 100 of anything and he chose to make a money tree with 100 of $100. dollar bills. He was so excited to share his project with his class. some of the children thought it was real! lol
firstname.lastname@example.com added this photo to their favorites. (26 months ago)
LOL, you must be rich if you let your 6-year old boy running to school with 100000 Dollar. I couldn't even see the tree - just dollars, everywhere! ;-)
Kiezkicker.... Ha Ha Ha its not real money, I photo copied a 100 dollar bill on one side of paper and printed off 100 of them.
I then folded the paper bills in half to give the illusion of real money. To get the color I used green chalk.
Cool idea, as long as he learns the value of real money while still real young...I wish it did grow on trees, I'd plant me a forest of them lol...
Hi! Liked your idea:) how did you make tree and how did you attach money to the tree and you only made copies of front side of money? Thx
