A jury trial for a Dorset Township woman accused of hiring a hitman to kill the first wife of her late husband has been rescheduled for August, according to Ashtabula County Common Pleas Court records.
Angel Brown recently obtained a new attorney, her third since arrested more than a year ago. Albert Purola is representing Brown, replacing Leo J. Talikka, according to court documents.
Brown faces a charge of conspiracy to aggravated murder and was scheduled to stand trial last month. The new trial date is Aug. 6, and the case will be heard before Common Pleas Court Judge Ronald Vettel, according to records.
Brown was charged in January 2012 after she reportedly paid an acquaintance $4,000 to kill Lisa Luke, the first wife of Brown's husband. Authorities have said Brown apparently feared Luke or her three children would receive money from an insurance settlement resulting from the man's death in a 2011 traffic crash.
However, the man Brown allegedly hired for the job had worked as a confidential informant for the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Office, deputies have said. The man contacted Sheriff William Johnson with details of the plot and detectives immediately launched an investigation, according to reports.
Brown is free on a bond that carries plenty of restrictions, including the provision she wear an electronic monitor that tracks her movements and location, officials have said.

Cast: Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vinay Virmani, Vikram, Monica Dogra, Isha Sharvani, Tabu, Lara Dutta, Milind Soman, Akarsh Khurana, Nassar, Saurabh Shukla
Director: Bejoy Nambiar
Three stories set in three different time periods, each with a protagonist bearing the same name, is the central idea of director Bejoy Nambiar's David. The link between the three stories, revealed in the final ten minutes of the film, is a tenuous one, but Nambiar nevertheless throws up interesting ideas, and you can't accuse the film of being predictable.
The first track, set in 1975 London, is shot in pristine black and white, and stars Neil Nitin Mukesh as David, right-hand man and adopted son of a famed Muslim gangster. Our hero's loyalty to his boss is tested when he discovers the very foundation of their relationship is based on a lie.
David Number 2 is Vinay Virmani (last seen in Speedy Singhs), who plays a struggling musician in Mumbai in the film's second track set in the year 1999. The son of a Christian priest, our happy-go-lucky hero finds his life turned upside down when the followers of a Hindu fundamentalist politician assault his innocent father, accusing him of encouraging religious conversions.
And finally in the third track, set in 2010 Goa, Tamil movie-star Vikram plays a loutish alcoholic named David, who falls for his best friend's deaf-mute fiance.
Oozing style and technical finesse reminiscent of his earlier film Shaitan, Nambiar's latest has some genuinely tense moments, but suffers gravely on account of flabby writing. Each track feels unnecessarily stretched, and there are bizarre moments in each story that'll have you scratching your head in bafflement.
Of the cast, Vikram leaves a big impression as the permanently inebriated fella with a weakness for punching women. He benefits considerably from sharing scenes with Tabu, who ups the game with a memorable cameo as a massage parlor owner and his best friend, committed to giving him romantic advice. Neil Nitin Mukesh, when he isn't scowling, is nicely understated, and Dhobi Ghaat's Monica Dogra does well as his convention-defying girlfriend.
David makes a subtle but well-taken point about the growing communal and religious tension of its times, and leaves you pondering your stand on morality and redemption. And yet, the film is never consistently engaging because of its formidable length and script holes.
I'm going with two-and-a-half out of five for director Bejoy Nambiar's David. There's much to appreciate here, but you can't help feeling it could have been so much more.

For the past 87 years, Weston Nurseries has provided garden goods and services through good days, bad days, and days of triffids. If your plant expertise doesn't even go back 87 seconds, Weston's staff of friendly, knowledgeable chlorophyll enthusiasts will happily guide potential green thumbs through a library of nearly 1,800 plants. Assorted perennials start at $8.95 and stand ready to be planted in fertile crescents throughout the Super Mario Brothers level you've built in your backyard. The less soil-inclined can gussy up a porch or balustrade with a hanging planter full of colorful annuals (starting at $32). Otherwise, sweeten summers with highbush blueberry cultivars ($36 for a #3 pot) or give the lily of the valley something to be jealous of with a Rose-of-Sharon ($36 for a #3 pot). Every gardener worth his or her pruning shears knows of the earth's constant craving for crustaceans, so feed its need with Coast of Maine Lobster Compost ($7.99 per one-cubic-foot bag). Gardening accessories are also plentiful; gear up with phalange-guarding West County women's garden gloves ($27.99) and an OXO 3L watering can ($19.99), to name just a few.
The horticultural experts at Perreault Nursery delight gardeners with a bountiful harvest of blossoms, shrubs, mulch, and outdoor ornamentation. The garden gurus accompany each rose bush or Japanese maple with helpful advice on how to care for the plant before sending it off to college. In addition to its blossoming blooms—grown in Perreault's own greenhouse—and a plethora of trees and shrubs, the garden depot outfits yards with mulch and stone, custom planters, and ornamental pottery or statuary, including fountains and bird baths. After picking out their new plants, visitors can drop by the nursery's butterfly house, where hundreds of butterflies flutter amongst babbling brooks, flowers, and benches. Or, for clients who would rather use a trowel to comb their hair instead of raking mulch with it, the professionals offer landscaping services to transform yards into lush oases with creeks, pathways, and beautifully designed flower beds.
Since 1982, The Veron Company has dispatched talented technicians to lawns and homes for professional maintenance and beautification projects. The team was assembled from a pool of experts with decades of experience in landscape design and lawn care. Summoning the power of Gamgee, the God of Outdoor Design, they magically transform outdoor areas into lush landscapes with services such as organic lawn maintenance, mulching, and irrigation. The team also handles seasonal projects such as snow removal, installation of ice-melting systems, and professional holiday lighting.
Healing Massage Therapy's staff remedies bodily maladies by drawing on orthopedic and medical massage training. Before each appointment, the team assesses the client to discover which massage style will be most beneficial. The studio's massage therapists draw on myofascial massage, trigger-point therapy, and neuromuscular techniques. Massage recipients stretch out on a heated hydraulic table, whose soft surface permeates bodies with soothing warmth, like a waterbed full of chicken-noodle soup, and can decompress spines into a more malleable state. Isolated stretching techniques then help to improve range of motion in woebegone joints. The staff kneads problem areas with surgical precision, hoping to decrease clients' long-term need for medical attention. After the massage, the muscle technicians share their findings and advice on general well being.
Roberta Dehman Hershon founded Hope in Bloom after her lifelong friend and fellow gardener died of breast cancer in 2005. The organization designs and installs indoor and outdoor gardens at the homes of Massachusetts residents who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. With gardens tailored to each individual's living space and lifestyle, they serve as tranquil sanctuaries and have helped improve the quality of life for women and men with breast cancer and their families during what is often a stressful time.

You might recall the Obama political ad a few weeks ago that featured a practically unknown Hollywood "celebrity" talking about her "first time" in a video ad? The ad eventually revealed that her "first time" wasn't her first time having sex, but was her first time voting for President. This ad was hailed as innovative and new. Turns out it was just a rip off of a 2010 ad from the Australian elections.
The ad featured Z list celebrity Lena Dunham, a young woman that has done a few things in the entertainment industry but is largely unknown. The ad starts out with Mz. Dunham saying, "Your first time shouldn't be with just anybody" and goes on to portray the girl talking about how your "first" should be a man that cares about women, etc. As the ad rolls on you begin to realize that this girl is talking about voting, not sex.
Now, one thing about this idiotic ad that makes no sense. Mz. Dunham is 26-years-old. If she is talking about her "first time" voting now, why didn't she vote for Obama only four years ago? She was of age to vote. Why is this her first time if she thinks voting is so darn important?
Anyway, that aside, this ad was hailed as a great new idea. But, as it turns out, it isn't new at all. It was simply copied from an ad made by an Australian Green Party candidate named Sarah Hanson-Young.
In her video, Hanson-Young says things like "Your first time is a precious gift. Don't waste it. Don't give it away to just anyone. Be safe," before she goes on to talk about the 2010 election for which her video was created.
Obama's video is hardly "new" or "innovative" and is instead just a pale rehash of someone else's work.
Kind of like his whole presidency.
Not surprising. Just what has this administration done that is actually 'new'?
Piled up more debt then all of the previous Presidents combined?
What? You're upset because the left is unoriginal? Face it. The left hasn't has an original thought since Stalin died.
So the worst presidente ever adds plagiarizer in chief to his growing list of non accomplishments.
C'mon Tuesday.
I am shocked and outraged.
Woa! November 3 BOMBSHELL. You NAILED him. He's going…. to win.
just like Obama keeps nailing you right?
Putin used a version of the ad also. Putin had it as a fortune teller who predicts that the girls first time will be for love. It closes with the girl going into the polling station. Not sure if the Aussies stole it from Putin or Putin stole it from the Aussies. In a way it is somewhat appropriate given how many first times are latter regretted.
Umm, last time would have been her first chance to vote for president, and her "first time" was with Obama. Now she's giving advice to other, younger women about their "first time." That's the point of the ad.
It's not that hard. Duh.
Did the Obama campaign claim that the whole idea was new and had never been thought of before? Or did those "hailing" it as new and innovative say that? Do you blame the campaign or the ad because OTHERS had never seen anything like it before?
I worry about your health, dude. All this outrage about Every Little Thing can't be good for your blood pressure or your acid reflux.
Actually if she is 26, then 2004 would have been her first time… or should have been.
Yes of course you're right. But there many 18 year olds in 2004 who were underwhelmed with the choice between Bush and Kerry.
The more likely answer is that the vast majority of 18YO kids are more interested in beer and sex than Presidential elections. Kids don't vote as a general rule.
HEY! I don't like saying "Yes, you're right," two comments in a row.
The only thing surprising here is that they didnt steal the idea from communist china.
If she is talking about her "first time" voting now, why didn't she vote for Obama only four years ago?
Why don't you watch from :45-:58 again? That's where she talks about how her first time was voting for Obama four years ago.
All political ads are recycled. Where was this claimed to have been "new" or "innovative"? You use quotation marks, but you don't cite where you're quoting from. Is there such a place?
"Obama's video is hardly "new" or "innovative" and is instead just a pale rehash of someone else's work.
Kind of like his whole presidency."
Yes.. A rehash of Jimmy Carter.
Nah. Carter only sucked up to communist dictators. obama wants to be one.
Obama is one. But he is about to expire. ttl
Australia? Try Nicaragua. P.J.O'Rourke in his hilarious "Give War a Chance", describes a billboard aimed at young voters (a 16 yr old could vote) in the 1990 election when Violeta Chamorro beat Ortega. It "showed a moonstruck couple in Ortega T-shirts walking hand-in-hand toward a voting booth beneath the headline 'When you do it for the first time, do it for love.' "
Good catch. All the more evidence that Huston's claim that this ad was "new" and "innovative" are so much BS.
Learn to read. Warner stated that others hailed the ad as new and innovative. Those others would be your imbecilic fellow travelers on the left who thought that it was ever so witty.
Reading comprehension. You really need to work on that.
I know that's what he said. And I asked, what others? In the absence of a response, I can only assume that this is just Huston's strawman.
Lawrence O'Donnell called the ad: "the hippest ad in the history of presidential campaigning, starring, possibly, the most ultra-cool person in the history of television."
That is sufficiently close to "new" and "innovative" as to be the same thing.
"Sufficiently close." Nice try. Still waiting for the source of the quoted "new" and "innovative", other than Huston's imagination.
Not to be off topic, but as the Instapundit reminds us, "Don't forget to change your clocks tonight, and your President on Tuesday.
"Her father, Carroll Dunham, is a painter of "overtly sexualised pop art", and her mother, Laurie Simmons, is a photographer and designer who creates "disquieting domestic tableaux" with dolls."
Well, that explains a lot about her.
I believe the implication in the ad is that she voted for him in the previous election and is planning on voting for him again. I've watched it several times now (I'm writing a paper about it) and that is the conclusion I've come to. Just so you know.

January 28, 2014 - Love my slippers, I practically live in them. I live just south of Chicago and these are like my 3rd pair of socks. They're nice and snug and slip right into my winter boots when I go out to feed the birds and squirrel. Made well, great price and helping a wonderful cause!
January 10, 2014 - I love these slippers. I don't use these running around the house but for sleeping. I have never wore anything on my feet sleeping before but one night I fell asleep with them on and my feet didn't get hot or cold. It's weird but "just right" They are so comfortable.
November 20, 2013 - These boot slippers are warm, comfortable, and washable. A great value and I'm so glad I have them!
March 15, 2013 - cozy!
February 15, 2013 - LOVE these! Warm and toasty yet lightweight and cool, if that makes any sense. They are large enough to accommodate socks underneath on especially cold nights but fit perfectly fine alone. I'm wearing them right now and will likely get a second (or third) pair.

TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Washington Nationals
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Washington Nationals
After a brutal 6 game losing streak where it seemed like just about anything that could go wrong for the Dodgers did go wrong, the Dodgers stole one in Baltimore on Sunday.
Now, after a day of rest, the Dodgers bring their 8-10 record to Citi Field for a matchup with the New York Mets, who are 9-8 and come into this series 3 1/2 games back of the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.
The Dodgers pitching rotation gets a little bit thinner. Chad Billingsley was unable to go on Sunday with a sore elbow and for the moment his rotation spot belongs to Stephen Fife, who pitched fairly well under tough circumstances in 4 2/3 innings of work. Billingsley has received even more bad news and is undergoing Tommy John surgery today. Billingsley will be lost for the remainder of this season and at least a portion of next. Billingsley joins fellow starters Chris Capuano and Zack Greinke on the DL, and the once-overloaded Dodger starting rotation looks a little thin only one month into the season.
Matt Kemp appeared to start coming out of his month-long slump, getting 3 hits in two of the three games down in Baltimore and driving in and scoring key runs in the series finale on Sunday. If Kemp continues his improvement in New York, it gives the Dodgers a much better chance at taking their 3 game set with the Mets and going back to Dodger Stadium this weekend with a little momentum after ending a 6 game losing streak.
The Mets are getting good offensive support from David Wright, recently signed to a long-term extension. Wright's .311 average, 2 homers and 14 RBIs have been a big reason why the Mets have had a lot of early season success, and his continued success will be key to the Mets' chances in the East.
The big story so far for the Mets this year, however, is young right-hander Matt Harvey. Harvey has won his first 4 starts this season and has blazed his mid-90′s fastball to an 0.93 ERA. In his last outing, Harvey beat Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg, pitching 7 innings and giving up 1 run on 4 hits while striking out 7 and walking 3.
Here are your matchups for this mid-week 3 game set at Citi Field in Queens.
Tonight's 4:10 p.m. Los Angeles time game features Clayton Kershaw (2-2, 1.88 ERA) going for the Dodgers against lefty Jon Niese (2-1, 3.80 ERA). Kershaw struggled significantly in his last start despite picking up Career Strikeout # 1000 and looks to get back on track against the Mets. Niese is coming off a quality outing against Colorado in which he went 6 innings and gave up 3 runs but unfortunately took the loss.
Tomorrow's matchup, also a 4:10 p.m. local time start, will feature Ted Lilly (0-o, o.oo ERA) making his season debut for the Dodgers against Matt Harvey (4-0, 0.93) for the Mets. Lilly will look to pick up where he left off last year, where he was strong in the early going before suffering what turned out to be a season-ending injury in May. Harvey will look to build on his hot start and improve his April record to 5-0.
The series finale will be on Thursday afternoon, a 10:10 a.m. start back here at home, 1:10 p.m. New York time. Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-1, 4.01 ERA) will go for the Dodgers against righty Jeremy Hefner (0-2, 7.07 ERA) for the Mets. Ryu had a no-decision his last time out against Baltimore, giving up 5 runs in 6 innings pitched, while Hefner is coming off an outing that saw him give up 3 earned runs in only 4 innings of work last week against Colorado.
Will the Dodgers' offense break out in this series, or will Matt Harvey and company be able to shut them down? The next 3 games will tell the story.

Hot answers tagged cambodia
Two weeks is a decent amount of time to explore Cambodia. Here are a couple of my recommendations:
Siem Reap: The Angkor Wat and surrounding temples can either be covered in a day, or over a couple of days. This is important because you need to buy a pass, and there are passes of different durations: 1-day ($20), 3-day ($40) etc. There's a 7-day pass too ...
Recently while planning my trip to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, I did a little research: I am not sure about direct buses from Siem Reap. However, Stueng Traeng is about 5 hours. From there, you can get a mini bus connection to Pakse. This takes about another 5 hours. From Pakse it is an overnight sleeper to Vientiane. If you have time, it is advisable to ...
For Laos, Canadian citizens require a Single Entry visa, valid for up to 60 days.
Cambodia you require a single entry visa, valid for 90 days.
However, in both cases, while they're valid for 60 and 90 days respectively, this is just the period after application during which you enter, and you can only actually stay in each country for 30 days, or when ...
Well according to Wikitravel:
The nearest Cambodian town is Stung Treng, and the border is a 90-minute speedboat or bus ride away. Note that the border is lightly used, with almost no onward public transport available at the border (therefore book through transport from Stung Treng to Ban Nakasang for Si Phan Don/Don Det) and both customs officers and ...
I think to get from Saigon to Kampot, you have to go through Phnom Penh. The main roads and bus lines go that way. Even if there are more direct roads, I doubt they can be used by buses because of the condition of many bridges in the area.
Usually you can always get a private taxi to take you anywhere, but I doubt you'll find someone in Saigon driving you ...
The Minibus from the Oasisbar in Ha Tien to Kampot via Kep leaves at noon as I mention in this answer. Though the motobike taxis leave whenever you want. And yes it is not as safe as in a car. Though the driver can take your backpack between his legs in front of him like shown in the picture.
So you either take a little risk or get the minivan at noon. ...
Will you need visas? Yes
Based on hippietrail's great comment, here's the breakdown:
Fiji: No visa
Indonesia: Visa on Arrival (VOA)
Thailand: No visa (expect to get entry stamps in your passports)
Cambodia: VOA
Laos: VOA
Vietnam: Visa required before entry (or pre-approval, read below)
Swede (same requirements as Canada for these countries):
Mark's answer covers most parts so I'll throw in a couple of notes from my experience:
The on-arrival visa is a single-entry visa; the same visa won't allow you to get back from Laos. You could get an ordinary visa or a business visa (the type 'E' that Mark refers to) but by default these are single entry, and you need to get an extension to get multiple ...
Another option would be to go through Thailand, take a bus from Pakse to Ubon Ratchathani (3 hours leaving 7:30 am).
From there take a bus to Surin running on highway 24, there may be a train (3 hours) as well.
From Surin you can take a swangthaew or minibus to the Cambodian border at Chong Jom (2-3 hours).
16 km south of the border is Along Veng but ...
The ferries between Koh Kong and Sihanoukville ended a few years ago, and the service seems unlikely to return. Between the paving of the southern road, the rise in fuel prices, and the fall in foreign tourism it is no longer economically feasible, and despite the election of the Shinawatra government, tensions between the two countries are high due to ...
As far as I can tell, the official answer seems to be nothing. As a Philippines passport holder, you don't need a visa for either country for stays of less than 21 days.
But since the ASEAN visa-free zone isn't quite as smooth in practice as it is in theory, do bring along any written documentation about why you are going to Vietnam, who you are meeting, ...
As mentioned in the comments you have very few options flying into Cambodia.
You can check Cambodia Airport site to see exactly who flies in and out of the 3 major airports in the country.
The closest major airport to Phnom Penh that one might fly into actually appears to be Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, though to fly there you will still have to make a ...

the bus leaves from the Western Bus Station in Saigon,at 21.00 and gets ...
You can get a tourist visa on-arrival in Cambodia at all airports and most main land border points with Thailand, so you don't need to obtain one in advance. If you still want to get one in advance, the easiest way is to apply online for an 'e-visa', the details for which are listed on the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Getting a visa in ...
There is no convenient midpoint stop, I think it's better to just bear the long road journey (I hear it's better in 2012 than few years ago).
Chachoengsao has a huge buddhist temple (allegedly the largest in the world), an old market and a decent river tour. Worth a visit, technically on the way, but rather close to Bangkok (1-2h).
Poipet is a seedy ...
There are boats between Battambang and Siem Reap, they leave in the morning (around 7am) and take most of the day. You spend several hours on a small river where you can see tons of animals and birds, later you cross Tonle Sap Lake, the last part to Siem Riep is by jeep. It takes a while but its a great ride.
The fruit shakes in Battambang are ...
I can't vouch for micro SIMs, but this wiki (very handy) will give you the lowdown on getting prepaid SIMs most everywhere you need to go. Shops or airport kiosks will probably know more about getting a micro SIM. If all else fails, though, you can use a SIM cutter.
I can't say about the smaller places, but in the big cities like Hanoi, Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh it's fairly easy to get the sim cards. (both normal and micro sim's)
it appears that the 3G network is also quite good, and not expensive. (check viettel.com for some information)
I didn't get to travel to Laos because of travel (transportation onward from Stung Treng sounded iffy from reports I heard due to local flooding at the time) and unclear visa situation for Indian passport holders for visa-on-arrival at the border. Still, I gathered something from travellers who went there and back to Cambodia.
Laos is a tougher country to ...
The easiest path is through Phnom Penh and Chau Doc. This is an established traveler path.
Going through Ha Tien is possible, though more adventurous. You will be very much on local transportation, unreliable and overcrowded. I'm not confident it will end up being quicker or cheaper than going through Phnom Penh, but you may get lucky.
If you are at a ...
Yeah - the boats can't run in the dry season.
You can get a taxi from about $30 (depends on your bargaining skills and what stage of the tourist season it is).
There are also inter-city buses that run between the two starting at about $6. Prepare for a long and uncomfortable trip, with lots of stops. The taxi is worth every cent.
The taxi's default speed is ...
Overall, it sounds like a lot of the new development is happening, and the ruins aren't much to see any more.
This blog post about going there rates the scooter trip there and back as the highlight, and as he cynically puts it:
Because if there is one thing Cambodia needs more of in its national
parks, it is apparently golf courses, entertainment ...
The non-flight option is bus/car & train. You can get a bus or private car from Siem Reap to the border -- your hotel or any travel agent in Siem Reap will easily organize this. Once you cross the border you'll need to get to the train station and get the train to Bangkok. If you book through an agency they may hand you off to someone on the other side ...
Google Maps has a way of showing this for you.
In this case, searching for directions between the two shows that it's approximately 179km-244km, depending on which highway/road you take. The fastest route is expected to take 3 hours 20, and the longest will be just over 4 hours.
At this point you could look at the routes and perhaps check on google images ...
From everything online (blogs, wikitravel, and websites) the ferry as you know is best in the wet season, when the river is high (June to November, usually)

No, you cannot do this any more.
The reason is that the Angkor Wat archaeological park is a protected complex, and drivers need to be registered with the authorities who maintain the park to be allowed into it. My tuk-tuk driver told me they need to be registered too, and of course, any tourists need to buy a valid pass. I am guessing that people who live ...
I liked the 4000 Islands (Si Phan Don) in the very South of Laos and did the relaxing and reading as Ankur is mentioning - not much more to do there. When I was in Pakse I rented a motobike and drove to the Bolaven Plateau for Coffee, local market and the Waterfall Tat Fan which is a 120m high twin-waterfall.
While in Seam Reap I'd also recommend going on a boat trip on the Tonlé Sap lake to see the floating villages. As Ankur suggests you can hire a tuk-tuk driver for the day for like $15. We hired one who drove us to the lake (which was an adventure in itself down a crazy mud/clay road) and came with us on the boat trip. It lasted a few hours and was quite ...

Hello and Good morning.
I thought we'd start today with a little bit of MOO Egg Hunt trivia to help get you in the right frame of mind for a day of hunting…
Fact 1. So far we have had had over 3,500 entries into the MOO Egg Hunt
Fact 2. Of all of our winners to date, we have had 20 x two-times winners, 10 x three-times winners, 3 x four-times winners and 1 x five-time winner
Fact 3. The egg with the most entries was Egg One (hidden in our FAQs) with over 450 entries.
Fact 4. The egg with the fewest entries was Egg Six (typing 'lapin' revealed the egg on our homepage) with only 2 valid entries.
Fact 5. Over the weekend, the country with the most found eggs in the 'Great Outdoors' was the UK, followed by the USA and then also high on the list was New Zealand, France, Canada and Japan.
Interesting, right? Anyway, enough of all that. How about some more hidden eggs? It seems yesterday's clues left some of your stumped so we're going to take it easy today with one clue in the morning and two in the afternoon to give your brains a breather. Now, let's get on with the clue, eh?
Clue for Egg Twenty-Eight
There once was a happy customer
Who came by to place an order
She filled up their cart
And she went to depart
When an Egg she found at the closure!
And finally, the hints, locations and resting places of Eggs Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four – the Egg Cracking heroes are:
Egg Twenty-Three: sarah, at 11.07
Hint #1: The first line is a hint about a first name.
Hint #2: The last line is a hint about a last name.
Hint #3: The middle bits should help you find him on out site… and once again, the egg of course.
Still stuck? We'd hidden this little egg on on the MOO designer page of Michael Bedard!.
Egg Twenty-Four: Stephen Shirley, at 11.04
Hint #1: What partner site features handmade items?
Hint #2: There's an important verb in the last stanza.
Hint #3: The verb is also a link on the site where the egg is hiding.
Still stuck? The link was hidden on Etsy's Press page
shhhh – I've also added hints for Eggs Twenty-Five, Twenty-Six and Twenty-Seven
Do I have to actually place an order to find the egg? I went through all the steps up to actually ordering something and didn't see an egg…maybe I missed it though.
Hahaha, looking at Fact 5, I'm a little bummed that there aren't any 'Great Outdoors' eggs here in Australia. I'm sure we could give the rest of the world a run for their money!
But yay, more clues!
Zachary, I thought that too. You're on the right site, of course, but you need to think about the clue differently. Remember it's moo, they're sneaky with these clues!
@Ramie, I also can't help but think the same as Zachary. It's really not where we seem to be thinking it is? Any sly hints?
I think I found 28, right when the end of my tether had been reached.
Next time you are doing this and if I am located in Australia or South Africa I would be glad to help out. (At the moment I am in London and have my camera)
yey! i found #28
Oh yeah, I also wanted to say I was *so* sad to see there was nothing in Los Angeles. Please, if you ever want to do *anything* here, I will help in any way you need.
Katie, focus on the last sentence, the last word really. Once I did that I found it no problem
It all makes so much sense now! Thanks Ramie!
can someone help me??
AIM: penguinfreak8182
i am so horribly stuck
is there an egg 87? because i found one :/

Jerusalem, an important business center
By JOHN BENZAQUEN
09/19/2012 16:25
A basis for Israel's tourism, government and much commercial activity, Jerusalem employs more then 50,000 people.

Jerusalem is famous the world over as a religious, historical and cultural center; consequently, it is a city with vast tourist potential. Jerusalem is also a center of learning and government, and this creates a high level of commercial activity and many business opportunities. These three sectors together employ more than 50,000 people. In the past few years Jerusalem has become home to a thriving and growing science-oriented sector that is adding high-paying jobs to a city whose economy was based almost entirely on low-paying jobs.
To the outside world, Jerusalem may not be perceived as a business center, but in fact it is an important one. Tourism, learning administration and science-oriented industries create business opportunities and circles of economic activity.
As business opportunities in Jerusalem abound, the city an important destination for the business traveler.
Jerusalem has great business potential, and government and municipal authorities are promoting the capital as a center for science based industries. This policy may solve two serious problems – one is demographic and the other is economic.
Over the past years, there has been a significant population drain in Jerusalem. Young people are not keen to remain in the capital because most of the job opportunities are not exciting enough, and the salaries tend to be low. Salaries in science oriented companies are much higher than the average. Employment in hi-tech, biotechnology or medical devices can be very appealing for university graduates. So if this type of industry is promoted in Jerusalem, it may stem the young brain drain and, in addition, attract educated young professionals from other areas.
Another reason the central and local governments are promoting the hi-tech industry is that salaries in government and tourism tend to be low; consequently, Jerusalem is a poor city. One of the ways to improve its economic profile is by increasing the number of well-paying jobs.
Most of the promotion of Jerusalem as a business entity is undertaken by the Jerusalem Development Authority (JDA). Moti Hazan, director general of the JDA, says, "We have been promoting economic activity in general and science-oriented industries in particular for a number of years and have had considerable success. The number of science oriented companies that have relocated to the city has risen substantially as has the number of such new companies that have chosen Jerusalem as their venue. Consequently, the number of relatively interesting and well-paying jobs has risen. We are offering very attractive financial incentives to such companies, which is one of the reasons for their increasing numbers. Science-oriented companies are given grants according to the space they occupy and the number of employees. It adds up to NIS 400 per square meter and NIS 80,000 to NIS 95,000 for each employee. In addition, employees moving to Jerusalem receive a rental grant of NIS 30,000 for two years."
Last year, the government inaugurated a new plan called Marom and earmarked an additional NIS 290 million in grants to promote economic growth in the city.
Through the JDA, the municipality and the government are promoting economic development in all fields. The incentives for entrepreneurs include grants to finance land development costs, local government tax and more. The JDA also gives grants to individuals relocating to Jerusalem.
The JDA is also promoting tourism and low-tech industries. Jerusalem is designated as Development Area A, which makes it eligible for government grants and tax breaks.
The government and the municipality pride themselves on their promotion work, but how does the business sector view their activities? Yitzhak Hirshberg, the owner and manager of the Tamar Laboratory supply company, is not overly impressed. He believes the JDA is doing a good job of promoting science-oriented industries but thinks it should come to the aid of commerce especially in the downtown area.
"Their help is very lopsided," he says. "They are willing to assist industry -- and not just all industry but rather the science-oriented industries -- and they call that promoting the economic well-being of the city. Science-oriented industries are just one part of the economy of Jerusalem. There are other areas, such as commerce, that are completely ignored. They seem to ignore that commerce is what holds an economy together; it is the link between the producer and the consumer. A well balanced economy does not consist of industry only it also includes commerce. They should also take this into account".
Jerusalem has also created a large infrastructure to cater to the needs of the business traveler. It has many luxury class hotels, as well as more modest hostelries that cater to the business traveler.
Haim Alkobi is the general manager of the Crowne Plaza Jerusalem Hotel. It is one of the capital's leading luxury hotels, with magnificent public areas and ultramodern guest rooms. It is close to the Binyenei Ha'uma, the capital's premier convention center. With regard to Jerusalem as a business center, Alkobi says, "Jerusalem is an important business center, especially in science oriented industries. It is also an important global convention center and the center of government.
Business persons from all over the world with business dealings with the Israeli government must come to Jerusalem. The hotel is very well located for a business person. It is a few minutes' walk from the Binyenei Ha'uma convention center, within walking distance of the government office district and a few minutes' drive from the Har Hotzvim science-oriented industrial park. We are very much geared toward the business traveler. The hotel has a business lounge with panoramic views, free Internet connection and much more."
The Crowne Plaza Jerusalem is not the only hotel in Jerusalem that focuses on the needs of the business traveler. Most of the capital's first-class and luxury class hotels cater to this clientele as well.
Bruno Deschuyter, general manager of the Inbal Hotel, says, "The business guest is a very important segment of our clientele. They are not the majority of our guests, but they generate an element of stability."
The business of tourism
The fact that Jerusalem is a world-famous historical city has created a large tourist-oriented business sector of hotels, restaurants, shops and services, such as guides and transportation facilities. The tourist industry in Jerusalem employs approximately 30,000 Jerusalemites. It is big business, and there are plenty of business opportunities. Around 90 percent of tourists who come to Israel visit Jerusalem, and the numbers are growing. Recently, there has been a marked increase in the number of one-day tourists. These include passengers from cruise ships and visitors, especially from Eastern Europe, who take a holiday in one of the neighboring countries and come to Israel for a one-day trip to visit the holy sites. These three million tourists must be lodged, fed, entertained and guided around the historical and religious sites. This means hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, taxi drivers and souvenir and gift shops. And that means a lot of business and a lot of opportunities.The Tourism Ministry partly finances the building of new hotels with grants of 28% of the required investments. The ministry also partly finances attractions and other tourist facilities. Ilanit Melichor, who is in charge of tourism at the JDA, says, "The Tourism Ministry puts up the cash, but we at the JDA help entrepreneurs dot the i's and cross the t's. We also help them with the bureaucracy involved in setting up a tourist-oriented enterprise, whether it is a multimillion-dollar luxury hotel, a shop, a pub or a transportation business."

I have memorized five Internet passwords. Each contains a different mix of lower-case and capital letters, symbols, and numbers. One is especially long: my favorite line of poetry (with underscores replacing spaces).
A recent New York Times article bemoaned the "mind-boggling array of personal codes squirreled away in computer files, scribbled on Post-it notes or simply lost in the ether." Even my own unusually obsessive, security-conscious approach doesn't save me from frequently resetting arbitrary passwords I can't remember.
The password is a relic: a dated method of authentication of the same kind that governs children's club houses. It is a key example of the inelegance with which we handle identity on the Internet today.
The Internet has become increasingly sophisticated and central to our lives, but some aspects lag behind. The password jungle is one symptom. Another is the fact that I can't still can't notarize a document or renew my driver's license without waiting in long line across town.
This week, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is not a federal crime to violate an employer's computer use policy or a website's terms of service. The opinion offers a clear expression and confirmation of our serious policy concerns regarding the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).
The CFAA is, as originally conceived, an important piece of federal cybersecurity policy. A broad interpretation of the statute, however – which some courts have endorsed – allows private parties to wield the authority of criminal law through their computer usage policies, thereby criminalizing commonplace Internet behaviors. As Congress considers cybersecurity proposals that amend the CFAA, we urge clarification of the CFAA's scope to reflect the Ninth Circuit's important opinion.
To recap: the CFAA is a federal law that imposes civil and criminal liability for an array of hacking offenses. The trouble with the law is that it's vague and has been stretched by recent court decisions. At the crux of each CFAA violation is the act of obtaining "access" to a computer without (or in excess of) "authorization." For example, one prong of the CFAA makes it illegal to "intentionally access[] a computer without authorization or exceed[] authorized access, and thereby obtain[] information."
The Administration isn't waiting for a new law to make progress on privacy. A baseline consumer privacy law is needed more than ever (and the Administration has called for one), but as the White House wrote in its Privacy Bill of Rights press release: "We Can't Wait."
In the meantime, the Department of Commerce is launching a collaborative process to improve how companies handle personal data. It plans to gather a group of interested parties—including companies, consumer advocates, technical experts, international partners, and academics—to solve a subset of the many privacy issues we face today. The goal of this so-called multistakeholder process is to produce "codes of conduct" that industry can choose to publicly adopt. After companies commit, they can be held accountable by the FTC. In exchange for cooperation, companies get clear rules—which they had a hand in defining—and an opportunity to maintain consumers' trust.
To succeed, it is essential that companies come to the table ready to negotiate in good faith. With the current lack of applicable legislation and the insufficiency of self-regulation, this is one of the best opportunities we have to provide businesses with privacy guidance and consumers with privacy assurances.
Against the backdrop of controversy surrounding the use of monitoring software pre-installed on mobile phones, Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) recently released a draft bill requiring clear disclosure and express consent before monitoring software is used.
CDT has long advocated for a comprehensive privacy law that would obviate the need for narrow legislative responses to newly-arising privacy issues. That said, this bill recognizes important privacy issues and we commend Markey for his efforts. Individuals have the right to know of, and in many cases say no to, monitoring software on their mobile phones.
We encourage further discussion around key provisions of the bill. This is a complicated issue: mobile phones implicate different players with different interests and obligations. For example, a wireless carrier's collection of certain data concerning the operation of its network might be considered a "commonly accepted practice" when clearly disclosed and subjected to reasonable use limitations. Furthermore, app stores should not be burdened with disclosure and choice obligations that properly fall to individual application developers.
Context: The Carrier IQ Controversy
Amazon recently unveiled a new entrant to the tablet marketplace — the Kindle Fire. One of its notable features is a new "cloud-assisted" web browser, Silk, which promises to improve web browsing by funneling web traffic through Amazon's powerful cloud computing servers. Silk's design should help render web pages more quickly. However, this cloud-assisted browsing could give Amazon access to a tremendous amount of new information. Amazon has yet to formally answer some important privacy questions.
Silk works its magic by positioning Amazon's servers between its users and the web. Amazon's servers then optimize and accelerate the delivery of web content. For example, if you visit a news website, Amazon might have many of the images and other assets cached and ready for immediate delivery, speeding up the loading of the page. Amazon's servers will even make predictions based on the sites it renders to predict where users might go next.
This technology may well improve web browsing performance. However, it requires users to trust Amazon to be the gateway for all of their web traffic. In its Silk Terms and Conditions, Amazon likens itself to "Internet service providers and similar services that enable you to access the Web." Given Amazon's significant computing capacity and familiarity with sophisticated machine learning algorithms, the company could conceivably gain even more insight into your online behavior than your ISP.
This is a sea change in Amazon's relationship with its users, one which demands great transparency about its practices.
Today Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ) released the first comprehensive privacy bill the Senate has seen in more than ten years. (CDT put out a formal statement about the bill earlier today.) We firmly believe that the introduction of this legislation moves us one step closer to the enactment of needed baseline privacy protections. The bill gets a lot right and, while not perfect, it is a fine starting place for Congress this term.
The United States has been embarrassingly behind the times on online privacy. We at CDT have long advocated for a 21st century "refresh" for old sectoral privacy laws that leave most personal data completely unregulated and free for the taking. The Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights Act importantly addresses the full range of Fair Information Practice Principles to ensure that all consumer data is protected. The bill is also designed to withstand the test of time by including flexible provisions allowing companies to work with the Department of Commerce and the Federal Trade Commission to come up with industry-specific rules that make sense for both consumers and businesses. It also gives the Federal Trade Commission and state Attorneys General the ability to obtain significant penalties from companies and organizations that fail to comply with privacy rules.
Yesterday the Obama Administration announced its support for baseline consumer privacy legislation. This is the first time in history that the White House has called for a baseline consumer privacy bill. In a Senate hearing entitled The State of Online Consumer Privacy, Commerce Department Assistant Secretary for Communications and Information Lawrence Strickling acknowledged that the United States' current patchwork of data privacy laws is insufficient and called for "[a]n overarching set of privacy principles on which consumers and businesses can rely could create a stronger foundation for consumer trust in the Internet." Accordingly, he said, "The Administration urges Congress to enact a 'consumer privacy bill of rights' to provide baseline consumer data privacy protections."
On the heels of Microsoft's announcement that it would implement "Tracking Protection Lists" in Internet Explorer, Mozilla, developer of the Firefox web browser, has announced plans for its own "Do Not Track" settings. CDT applauds this trend and reemphasizes that privacy-enhancing browser tools are an important part of progress on online privacy. It is heartening to see browsers competing on privacy and empowering consumer choice.
Mozilla's approach to "Do Not Track" differs from Microsoft's. As discussed earlier, Microsoft plans to allow users to create or subscribe to a list of web addresses that track. Internet Explorer would then prevent communication with any domains on the list. Mozilla, on the other hand, is considering implementing an option to broadcast a "Do Not Track" header to each website a user visits. In other words, users will be asking every website they visit not to track them.
As discussion heats up around the FTC's "Do Not Track" proposals, Microsoft has added its voice to the debate. Yesterday Microsoft unveiled a new Internet Explorer 9 feature, called Tracking Protection Lists, which promises to empower users to control what third-party sites can track them when they're online.
Here's the issue: Most of us share information with websites beyond those we see in our address bar. This is because websites can prompt our browser to connect to other servers and exchange information behind the scenes. This enables profiling, behavioral advertising, and other sorts of data collection some may find objectionable.
Microsoft's Tracking Protection List feature could help shield users from these practices—if they choose. The feature allows users to create a list of web addresses within Internet Explorer (for example, those of known behavioral ad networks). Referencing this list, Internet Explorer will refuse to initiate a connection with any address listed. Users can subscribe to lists maintained by trusted organizations, making the process all that easier. In short, when used properly, this tool gives Internet Explorer users a higher degree of control while browsing online.
This week, a piece of software called Firesheep reminded us of how important it is to browse the Internet securely.
Firesheep is a very user-friendly Firefox add-on that allows its user to snoop on unsecure connections on a local network (such the Wi-Fi at your local coffee shop) and hijack services being used on that unsecure connection. This means that, by default, a visit to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and other popular services might be enough to give anyone using Firesheep access to your account. Just look at how simple the Firesheep snooping program is:
The Supreme Court has been doing a pretty good job of resisting government arguments that interpretation of the Fourth Amendment should ignore the implications of modern technology.
Two years ago, for example, the government argued to the Court that using a GPS device to track an automobile 24/7 for nearly a month was no different from assigning a police officer to tail someone. Following a person on the public streets was never considered a "search" under the...
With more interactions between educators and students taking place online and through apps, increasing amounts of sensitive data are collected, retained, and used by schools and companies. Data related to education tends to be very personal, so the need for appropriate standards on protecting this data are important to encourage greater adoption of educational technologies. To that end, the Department of Education (DoE)...
