Building Your Personal Anti-Spam Strategyby Michael Herrick
You're just getting back from a well-deserved and much-enjoyed vacation. For two weeks, you haven't touched a keyboard, looked at a screen, or put a phone to your ear. Now it's payback time. It's your first morning back in the office and you can't put it off any longer. You've got to check your email.
Your first glance at the email status bar confirms your fears. There are 1,840 messages waiting to be picked up. You groan. You know that translates to about 1,800 spams. Well, it's nice to know someone cares. Hold my calls for the next hour. I'm deleting spam.
What used to be a minor annoyance has become the scourge of the Internet, ruining your email experience. Everyone gets spam, of course, but you've been depending on business email for years, so you get a lot of spam. When your Aunt Gussy starts complaining about the junk she gets on her AOL account--"positively dozens!"--you just roll your eyes. Try hundreds. Try thousands. Day in and day out. What can you do about it?
Maybe you accept spam as an inevitable annoyance. Maybe you've grown used to hovering over the delete key while reading email. Maybe you've given up.
Spam may seem like a big problem, and it is, but you can do something about it. In fact, you've got to. You don't have a choice. If you're one of those people who receive 50 or 100 or more spams every day, you've simply got to find a way to manage it. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce the time you spend dealing with spam. In this article, we'll look at some of the ways you can reduce or limit the amount of spam you receive by becoming invisible to spammers. In the next article, we'll discuss some ways you can automatically identify and remove spam you are already receiving. Put them together and you can build a personal anti-spam strategy that works for the kind of mail and the kind of spam you receive.
Spam's Not Funny, But Don't Stop Smiling
The first essential in any anti-spam strategy is a sense of humor. A sense of humor can protect us from the natural, but pointless fits of powerless indignation. I'm not at all suggesting a grin-and-bear-it, "I-just-hit-the-delete-key" approach to dealing with spam. I don't recommend resignation. But if we can't laugh at spam, what can we laugh at? Yes, spam is an unconscionable intrusion on your time, an immoral theft of electronic resources, and a repugnant reminder of the most shameful degradations endemic to human nature. But where else can you receive serious, money-laundering offers from third-world con-artists, candy bars with 1,200 negative calories, or incompetently faked nude photos of celebrities you don't even recognize? Yes, they really expect you to believe it. And some people do. Isn't it fun to imagine a disappointed customer sending before-and-after photos to the attorney general proving the ineffectiveness of the latest enlargement formula?
The need for humor is one reason why I always insist on referring to the problem by its most evocative name, spam. I get impatient with anyone who insists on referring to it with some polysyllabic incantation of Latin origin or, worse, an acronym. Maybe a bombastic name is helpful when trying to bamboozle a senator into sponsoring an anti-spam bill he doesn't really understand, but those of us outside the world of legislation (which was once likened to another processed meat product) can afford to be less stuffy. What better way to refer to in-box crud than with the name of a funny meat that makes a yucky slurking sound when it plops out of the can? Spam is a fun word, even a legally permissible word, that can take some of the sting out of processing the daily flood of digital sewage.
Protect Yourself
Spamfire removes unwanted commercial and pornographic email from any email account. Works with any email program. Automatic filter updates keep fighting spam. Click here for more info.
Having armed yourself with the mental attitude needed to protect yourself from useless bursts of wrath, what technical steps can you take to stem the flood of spam? First, you should begin at the beginning. Before you start trying to delete the spam you're already receiving, is there anything you can do to prevent new spam?
In order to send spam, spammers need email addresses. To date, the most common way for spammers to obtain valid email addresses has been Web page harvesting--the use of specialized automation software called "spambots" to scan thousands of Web pages and save all the email addresses that can be found. Spammers continue to develop nasty new ways to get your address, but publishing your email address on a Web page is still the easiest way to get attention from spammers.
Anytime you publish an email address on a Web page, you should take steps to protect it from being harvested by spammers. There are several ways you can protect your email address, ranging from the totally useless to the reasonably effective.
- Try to obfuscate the characters of your email address. Some people
paraphrase their email address--spelling out "at" and "dot
com"--or insert extraneous characters intended to trip up spambots.
Not only do such techniques look unprofessional, they provide very little
protection. Any decent spambot can decode them and get your actual email address.
- Create a robots.txt file to keep spambots away. The robots.txt file
is a file you can place on your server to specify how automated software should
be allowed to access your pages. But adherence to robots.txt guidelines is
wholly voluntary. Legitimate Web crawlers will honor a robots.txt file, but
spambots don't care. Simply posting a "No mosquitoes allowed" sign
on your patio will not guarantee a pleasant barbecue.
- Encode your email address with HTML entity codes. Every keyboard
character has an ASCII number equivalent that can be specified on a Web page
in lieu of the actual character. Browsers automatically convert the code to
the required character, but spambots, it was assumed, do not. In fact, spambots
figured out this trick a long time ago, so changing the @ character into @
doesn't offer any protection.
- Render your email address with a server-side script. All server-side
scripting environments allow you to ask for the name of the browser program.
You can choose to block access from known spambots or unrecognized browsers.
Unfortunately, most spambots spoof their credentials and claim to be the latest
version of Netscape Navigator, so you're not fooling anyone with this trick.
- Render the text of your email address in an image file. Don't type
your email address into your Web page or link to a graphic file that is an image
of your email address. Spambots are unlikely ever to implement graphics-to-text
converters, so this method is a pretty sure-fire way to prevent harvesting
while still making your address readable by most users. But the graphical
approach has disadvantages. Your email address won't be readable by visually-impaired
users or users with certain browsers, including some wireless devices. It
is not possible to create a clickable email address link with this tactic
since the HTML code for the email link would be vulnerable to harvesting.
And a graphically rendered email address may be more difficult to maintain,
especially when many email addresses are involved. You might be able to alleviate
some of the maintenance problems by creating a single graphic of an @ symbol
and using that, in combination with text, to produce a readable email address.
- Render your email address with a JavaScript. You can create a very
into an email address but which looks like gibberish to most spambots. In
its simplest form, your JavaScript might look something like the following:
<script language="JavaScript">
document.write( "jim_smith" );
document.write( "@" );
document.write( "matterform.com" );
JavaScripts like this are easy to write; you might even be able to automate their creation. The more complicated you can make the JavaScript, the less likely a spambot will ever be able to decode it. Numerous free Web sites let you instantly convert any email address to a reasonably obscure JavaScript, and a few companies (including mine) publish commercial software that can automate the process on multiple Web pages at once. If your JavaScript creates the right HTML code, you can offer your visitors a clickable email link, something not possible with other techniques described here.
- Create contact forms instead of email links. By making a contact form that sends you an email, or stores messages in a Web-enabled database, you can keep your email address off the Web altogether. Just make sure you store the email address in the server-side script or CGI application that processes the form, not in the form itself, where it would still be vulnerable to spambots. If you do it right, you get complete protection. Your email address will be completely protected and completely hidden from any spambot. It requires additional setup time and expertise, which may be impossible if your Web hosting provider doesn't let you create custom scripts or CGI applications, or unfeasible if you have numerous addresses to protect. And you may decide that contact forms just aren't appropriate for your site. I have always felt that a real email address published on a Web page, along with a phone number and snail-mail address, goes a long way towards establishing credibility in the e-commerce world.
Anti-Harvest Measures
Will anti-harvest measures reduce the amount of spam you receive? Not anytime soon. If you already get lots of spam, don't expect it to disappear overnight just because you've scrambled your email addresses with JavaScript. However, anti-harvest measures are a must for any new email address. Whether you're putting a new employee's address on the company directory, creating a Web site for a new business, or adding a contact point for a new product or service, you should never publish a new address without implementing some anti-harvest measures. Harvest deterrence should be standard practice for all Web sites and all Webmasters.
New email addresses can stay spam-free for a long time if you simply take some precautions against harvesting. Of course, you also need to be aware of how you use the new address. Don't type it into other Web sites or into Usenet discussion groups. Keep throwaway addresses on hand for those occasions or type out the URL of a spam-protected Web page. Don't allow employees to use their business email address for personal purposes; offer them a free personal account on your mail server that can be kept separate from the business account, or insist that they get a personal account elsewhere. And don't publish personal addresses at all if you can avoid it. Instead, publish department addresses, like, which can be redirected when new staff come on board and abandoned entirely and replaced if they start to get bogged down in spam.
Protecting email addresses on your Web site will prevent most new spam, but there are other ways spammers can get your address. Other ways to protect the privacy of your email address include the following:
- Don't give out
your address unless you have to. Whether it's an online business or a
brick-and-mortar business that's asking you, phony addresses, throwaway
addresses and outright stubborn refusal are your best protection.
- I don't really
have to remind you, do I, that you should never reply to a spam or use an
unsubscribe link. If it's something legitimate you really remember signing
up for, you can probably sign off, but don't believe the dirt balls who
tell you that you asked for their spam.
- Don't even open or
preview spam unless you know that your email program is configured not to
auto-load images and other rich media content. Not only does this expose
you to graphics you'd rather not see, the images themselves can be
configured to trigger a script on a spam server that marks you as someone
who reads spam. This nasty trick is called a WebBug and is becoming more
and more common.
- Don't use your
primary address when registering a domain name. Spammers can look up
domain name records and steal the email addresses of the administrative,
technical, and billing contacts. When registering a domain, use an email
address that you've set aside for nothing but domain name registrations.
It will still get spam, but it will be separate from the rest of your mail
and easier to deal with.
- An unusual,
unguessable email username can't hurt. Because spammers send out junk to
randomly chosen addresses,
gets way more spam than
may want to consider disabling any wildcard email addresses that
forward anything,
including lots of spam, right to your personal account. Also, you should
be aware that some domains have worse spam problems than others. Hotmail
is notorious for the amount of spam their addresses receive, but Apple's
.Mac service goes largely unnoticed by spammers.
- As far as I know
this hasn't happened yet, but it's only a matter of time before spammers
figure out how to use viruses to harvest email addresses. You could be put
on a spam list not because you got a virus but because the cousin who forwards all those chain
letters to you got a virus and you were in her address book. It will be a
technical challenge to deliver the email addresses to the spammer without
leaving a trail for law enforcement to trace, but you can bet that
spammers are working on it right now.
- The big and dirty spammers are beginning to use a technique called "Directory Harvest Attacks" to obtain valid email addresses. This allows them to steal addresses right from your service provider's mail server. I don't have room here to discuss counter-measures, but you should make sure your system administrator or Internet service provider is taking steps to protect your email addresses from these attacks.
Final Thought
Unfortunately, the only way to become perfectly and permanently invisible to spammers is to become invisible to everyone else. Close your email accounts, and stay off the Net and the spam will disappear like magic. If that's not an option for you, though, spammers will find you from time to time, no matter what you do. Nevertheless, prevention remains an important part of any anti-spam strategy. Once you've patched the serious privacy leaks that are opening you up to lots of spam, you'll be ready to get serious about identifying and deleting existing spam, and that will be the topic of our next article.

New Anti-Spam Mail-System
2002-11-13 14:41:36 anonymous2 [View]
A perfect solution for the future against spam would be to introduce a new mail protocol. In this new mail protocol a user would have to pay to send an email (but not for receiving them). The amount of payment for each mail can be quite small (even less than a dollarcent). Because spammers always sent mails in very large quantities they will quickly get into large amounts of money. However almost all standard users only sent a limited amount of mails a year (less than a 1000).
Disadvantage is that all mail programs will have to be updated for using this protocol. And that every user will have to open an account and transfer some money to it. But I would gladly
pay a few dollars to be rid of spam forever!
New Anti-Spam Mail-System
2002-11-18 11:07:56 jdrake [View]
This would be very impractical.
A protocol may be defined, Microsoft would try their magic, anybody else and their brother might try the same thing. With so many different providers like this, nobody would want to integrate it.
There would be nothing to stop you from setting up this sort of system on yourself. Then where does payment go? It goes no where, because its your server. This in itself is exactly what would make this ineffective.
A central authority may work, but who will run it? We know how well ICANN and Microsoft have worked as central authorities. ICANN abuses power, and so does Microsoft. Entering another monopoly... charge rates that they want.
Next, competing email providers... might work, but you still have fraudulant domain providers and this would be no different.
There must be some other way to make it so that it is not economically feasible for spammers to operate.
Mail.app filtering
2002-11-11 08:32:24 anonymous2 [View]
It seems to me that the new spam filter built in to Mail.app that does syntactic analysis is sufficient; my spam volume is not huge, but it does filter a couple dozen spams a day, only missing one or two. It hasn't given a false positive since about a week after I got it, either.
Spam, Spam, Spam
2002-11-11 01:06:04 anonymous2 [View]
I have several web based e-mail accounts. Excite and Yahoo are the two I use. Of these two the Yahoo account gets quite a large volume of spam. The Excite account is mostly used for ordering and registering items, it gets spam but not near the amount of the other.
Both accounts have spam fighting capabilities, mine are used and are maxed out for the number of filters that they can have. Yahoo has a 15 filter limit and I just saw that I can block up to 100 addresses (something else to set up). Excite has 11 filters and unlimited address blocking.
One address I will add to both are hotmail. This service seems to have the most spammers. Since no one I know sends me anything originating from a hotmail account I will reject all mail from that domain. I�ll have to read up on how messages are rejected, not sure if the mail is bounced or just goes pouf.
My ISP is Adelphia and I get very little to no spam there. Of course that address isn't used or disseminated as much as the web based ones are.
I use Mail as of mid October, before that it was OE. Both have extensive filters. I employ the use of both positive and kill filters.
My .mac account has been getting spam from basically one source. I'm not sure if the real domain is peoplepc.com that is the address that is viewable. I have tried to bounce over ten of these mailings and all have been returned with an error form the .mac server stating that it was undeliverable. Bouncing has never worked for me.
I have recently started using Spam Cop. I'm using the free service and haven't used it long enough to be able to report a yea or nay on its effectiveness.
Free Javascript encoder and filtering "service" - no software...
2002-11-10 10:11:03 anonymous2 [View]
We offer a free Javascript encoder than guarantees that nobody will be able to decode it with a spambot. It encodes the length of your email address right into the encoded address. This will prevent any spambot from decoding it.
Also, we offer the Internet's first and only anti-spam ASP that allows you to build a custom filtering solution that works no matter where you check your email. It's server-side, requires no software to install, and no mailbox or MX record changes. Free trial at:
Apple Laptop Keyboards Unsuitable for Unix Users
2002-11-07 23:12:06 anonymous2 [View]
Apple laptops are effectively unusable for unix users.
I am a long-time Unix user. That means I need to have the Ctrl key to the left of the A key. This is a genuine need, not merely a want; it is based upon ergonomics. The Ctrl key is heavily used in unix, and it must be easily accessable. It cannot be off in the lower left corner of the keyboard where it is difficult to get at, and where it distorts the position of your left hand such that you can't easily type other keys while holding the Ctrl key down.
Apple desktop keyboards are now all USB. They are all OK. The CapsLock key can be re-mapped into a Ctrl key.
Unfortunately, even in this modern age, all Apple laptops have built-in ADB keyboards. The ADB keyboard is broken-by-design. It is, in general, not possible to remap the CapsLock key into a Ctrl key.
There are some exceptions, but they are horrible kludges. They are horrible kludges because the original design of the ADB keyboard was a horrible kludge. The correct solution would be for Apple to re-design their laptop motherboards to use built-in USB keyboards. This hasn't happened yet. If you run Linux, use Debian's solution. For Mac OS X users, uControl works. There are no solutions (that I know of) for either NetBSD or OpenBSD. Please note once again that the "solutions" above are in fact kludges, because of the original bad design of the ADB keyboard.
Apple provides a technical note on how to remap the keyboard, but provides no solution to the hardware problems caused by the design of the ADB keyboard. This tech note helps foreign language users, but does nothing for the CapsLock/Ctrl problem.
Apple is (currently) ignoring Unix users! This is not merely speculation on my part. In an on-going email exchange I am having with an Apple employee (whom I won't name) in their marketing department, the Apple marketing person directly stated to me that Apple was catering to their historic Mac customers, and is purposely ignoring the Unix market. He also claimed that Apple would soon start paying more attention to the Unix market. I won't hold my breath. Apple has been ignoring Unix users for more than 12 years. I expect that trend to continue. (Also note that my Apple contact indicated that Macs would never ship with a 3-button mouse, even though Apple intended to port almost all X-window software and deliver it either on a CD/DVD or installed directly on each Mac's hard drive. How Unix friendly is a 1-button mouse with X programs that often require 3 buttons?)
Apple has now lost two opportunities to sell me hardware. I really wanted an Apple laptop for their superior battery life, and for the PowerPC with Altivec CPU. (The Altivec is vastly superior to the x86 line for DSP.) Because I can't live with the broken-by-design built-in ADB keyboard in all Apple laptops, Sony and IBM sold me laptops instead. If Apple fixes this problem, they will sell me a PowerBook next year; if they don't, I'll still be running OpenBSD on x86 hardware, and wishing I could use a Mac.

Why laws aren't needed
2002-11-07 10:24:43 matterform [View]
While I support anti-spam legislation, I think technical solutions will improve to the point where people lose interest in legal solutions. Do not imagine that techniques like address obfuscation and content filtering have no effect on spammers. One spammer recently complained "My operating costs have gone up 1000% this year" trying to get defeat anti-spam efforts.
Once everyone is using good, adaptive technology to eradicate spam automatically, spam will cease to be a worthwhile business. Already, spamhouses tell their customers that they can reliably deliver only to 50% of the addresses on their list. That number will continue to shrink. Because nobody is willing to wait for politicians to figure out what to do about the problem.

i always use email@example.com when filling out web-forms - if they sell the list of addresses, i know who's responsible.
and mail.app's bounce to sender is a god-send - i automatically bounce all spam, and within a couple of weeks went from tens a day to a couple a day.
bouncing worked?
2002-11-07 10:29:33 matterform [View]
Your report that bouncing resulted in a marked decrease in spam really surprises me. Most spammers don't even pay attention to bounces. Didn't you get a lot of re-bounces after your bounced to bogus addresses? I wonder if you were getting a lot of duplicate spam from a single spammer and so got a decrease when that one spammer took you off their list. I'd be interested to hear if others have found bouncing to be effective, because I have always found it to be a waste of time.
Reply address ping test spam killing strategies...
2003-05-24 14:22:23 anonymous2 [View]
In my experience almost all my spam replies, which are automatically generated and transmitted by my extensive list of Eudora filters, and include a note advising that the sender that his message was automatically deleted by spam filters and was never seen by a human, just result in a delivery failure email from the ISP contained in the false reply address, or the router if the ISP name was fake too.
But for a business address there's no escaping the requirement to notify the sender, because otherwise a false positive filter hit can leave a customer or vendor with the impression that he was rudely ignored by a human, and to a legitimate customer or vendor, that's absolutely unforgivable. So in those rare cases when a spam filter deletes a message with a legitimate reply address, the sender is advised that he needs to resend his message, this time with a code to allow it to bypass the bulk of the filters. The code is often changed of course.
The requirement to reply is an inescapable reality. Some email addresses, whether business or personal, simply can't be changed. In my case, email@example.com (we'll call it) is on the panels of all our physical products, which often last for decades. The address is in circulation in spam hell, as was eventually inevitable. But I dare not allow any false positive filter hit to leave someone wondering what happened to their email - a response of some kind is always mandatory. So it simply doesn't matter that 99+% of the filter advisory replies just create a delivery failure message - I can't take a chance that a legitimate sender would be completely ignored. And fortunately, the delivery failure messages are very easy to automatically filter into oblivion.
But I do archive every single one of my outgoing messages, because if one of my emails bounces, it's unlikely that I'd see the failure notification (unless I sent the message to someone who's in my address book, but that's only a fraction of them). If I expect a response but don't receive one, then I resend, and then watch the delivery failure messages for a while.
But it could be better. I'd like to see a lot more discussion and experimentation with reply address ping test spam killing strategies. For example, I'd like to be able to set up Eudora to perform a reply address ping test, and if the test fails automatically delete the email. I can wait for the outcome of a ping test before reading most messages - they usually aren't highly time critical, and most of my regular contacts are passed by the filters before spam testing begins anyway. And the best part is that a reply address ping test would obliterate almost all spam as it's now configured. And I can't think of any case in which legitimate customers, vendors, or personal contacts use a fake return address. But should the need become apparent, I could post information on an ever changing filter pass code for the sender who's actually personally reviewing my company's web site, such as email@example.com.
Spammers would no doubt be tempted to respond by using a working stolen email address in their reply address, but there's a serious down side to that - there's a much higher chance they'd be successfully identified and successfully prosecuted. (What! I don't have a 'free speech' right to ID theft and fraud?!?) They could create their own working reply address and ignore messages to it, but if the address is serviced by a legitimate ISP, it would almost instantly go over quota with replies from systems like mine, and quota busting traffic raises a fast and prominent red flag with the ISP, so their account would likely be very promptly deleted. And in the meantime it would fail ping tests, which would consider an over quota response a ping test failure. If they use a black market ISP or own their own ISP, the reply address would ID them and their ISP. They or their ISP would then be quickly added to every filter in the Universe. They'd also be an easy target for large numbers of very frustrated Internet users, some of whom have access to excellent attorneys. And while nobody should cross the legal line of course, the reality is that some spam hating users have the expertise to email some nasty pathogens. And cyber assaults might not be the limit of some people's retaliation, especially if they've been financially hurt by a spammer's fraud. The point being that most spammers do not want to be identified. So a real return address is the most desperate of options for them.
It seems to me that the bottom line is that a good ping test infrastructure might put spam on the run in a big way. So does anyone provide a return address ping testing product, or is anyone working on one? If not, why not?

Reply address ping test spam killing strategies...
2003-08-17 06:44:31 anonymous2 [View]
For the ping test, you could not do an actual ping as the email domain server may not have ping switched on for security reasons. If by ping you mean connecting to the senders mail server and checking the email from address, this can be done quite easily. Valid emails such as newsletters may have a no-reply address which is not valid. So a category of false positives is opened up.
ID theft occurs continually, bouncing emails to a stolen address makes the problem worse, especially for the unluck recipient.
By the time your mail server accepts your email address the spammers know they have a valid address. Tackling the problem at the front end is already too late...

Seems to do the same thing that SpamVaccine does (wrap encoded text in JavaScript) but it's free.

Legal Solutions Can Help but no Panacea
2002-11-06 05:16:34 anonymous2 [View]
Many factors motivate spammers, but a principal reason for spamming is to make money, directly or indirectly. In this sense, it is not at all the source of the spam that is at issue, but rather the sink of the money. If illegal spam promotes the sale of goods or services, and there is a venue to place the money, a legal system can seize the money, punish the offenders and provide at least some disincentive.
True, there will always be people who care not about the law, or will find ways to skirt it. But even a mild amount of friction can significantly reduce the mass of spam. The trick is not to make spam free to send. Just a little friction can make a lot of difference.
True, there will always be risk of first amendment and free speech violations in spam regulation. Bit it need not be so -- effective spam regulation can be obtained merely by making it illegal to lie about the spam. Consider one modest proposal.
Other options
2002-11-05 09:14:59 arkham999 [View]
There are some more active things you can do.
1) Create a separate email for spam. I have my email@example.com address. I use that for any web forms I need to fill out. Then treat that mail very suspiciously (route it to a separate folder if it makes it through the spam filters).
2) All my mail gets spam-filtered three times before I see it (first by Eudora Internet Mail Server's black list, then by Spam Assassin, then finally by Mail.app's Baynesian filter. Of the 50+ spams I get a day, maybe 1 or 2 get through.
3) Bounce any spams that get through. Some spammers use a real return address to know which emails bounce and which get replies (to make their lists better). If you bounce the spams you get (Mail.app does this for you with the click of a button), you may be able to reduce your exposure.
legal system cannot fix spam
2002-11-05 07:32:04 anonymous2 [View]
The legal system cannot fix spam. The only thing a comprehensive law against spam in the US would achieve is an increase in the amount of spam I receive from .ru (Russia) and other countries. I don't even waste my time with that. It would be nice to at least see legislation that requires all unsolicited mail marked as such, and at least for it to be illegal to spoof the from and reply-to addresses, but even that won't stop spam.
One solution - change countries
2002-11-03 14:39:16 anonymous2 [View]
Obviously spammers are primarily interested in North America. I have had my email address available for all to read for the last 5 years on our web site at www.casa.gov.au. I also get all our webmaster@ emails. On an average day, I get less than 10 spams.
I'm not indiscriminate in handing out my email address to web sites but I don't hesitate if I trust the site.
Presumably a .gov.au address is just not a prime target for most spammers.
or maybe not...
2002-11-14 18:48:11 anonymous2 [View]
Sounds to me like it's the ".gov" that's turning them off.
It won't work
2002-11-02 09:25:00 anonymous2 [View]
The whole idea of using your email address as a password permitting others to send mail to you simply is misguided. It contravenes everything that security people know about effective password schemes. We need to destroy spammers and the ISPs that collude with them, using the legal system. That will take time, but in the end, it is the only thing that will have a lasting effect.

Forestry Field Day a success
By JUSTIN DEWBERRY
The Marshall County Forestry Association held its 13th Annual Field Day on October 3.
We all know forestry today as a modern tool, just as the topic of the field day was "Modern Opportunities for the Tree Farmer."
The tour stops included – Shortleaf/Loblolly Pine, which was discussed by Dr. John Kushla, associate professor, Mississippi State University Extension Service; Wildlife by John Gruchy, wildlife biologist for the State of Mississippi; Agro-forestry by Henry Gordon, MSU graduate student; American Chestnut Blight by Jared Everitt, MSU graduate student; Tip Moth Control by Landis Herrin, MSU graduate student; Herbaceous Weed Control by Alan Van Valkenburg, Timber Investment Mgrs., LLC; Genetically Cloned Pine by Dr. Randy Rousseau, associate Extension research professor, MSU; and Kudzu Control by Dr. John Byrd, Extension research professor, MSU.
These topics were discussed in relation to the everyday forestry landowner and how to recognize and determine the uses of forestry and its impact for the present, and the future.
The tour went well as the departure was at 8 a.m. It was an enjoyment for everyone. Donald Pogue, president of the Marshall County Forestry Association, did the welcoming of the guest speaker, who was Dr. James Shepard, associate director of Forestry and Wildlife Research at MSU. Dr. Shepard spoke on the current and future timber markets and their outcomes.
A memorial of one of the well-known friends of the MCFA and everyone who knew him, Travis Casanova, was done by W.L. Wallace.
A well-prepared meal was catered by Byhalia United Methodist Church – which consisted of barbecue, beans, rolls, and other beverages.
The field day was sponsored by several local businesses from the surrounding area. They included Timber Investment Managers, Cellfor Inc, Ripley Outdoors, Mid-South Ag and Equipment, Federal Land Bank of North Mississippi, Bank of Holly Springs, Miller Timber, Citizens Bank, Hendrix Feed and Cousin's Express on Hwy. 7 North.
We send our thanks to all of the sponsors who participated in this event. The supporting agencies included the Mississippi Forestry Commission, MS Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Stations, MSU Extension, MS Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Mississippi State University College of Forest Resources and the Mississippi Forestry Association.
We send our appreciation to all 105 attendants who helped make this a learning experience about the future of forestry, and for all of the time spent by everyone putting their efforts to work, to make it a worthwhile experience.

One of Marrero's favorite strategies is to look at the frequency of use of each item — you could be taking up some valuable closet real estate with items you're not using.
"A" items are things that get daily use — like socks and underwear — and should be the most accessible, she says. Items in the "B" category you wear often, like general everyday shirts. They can go in drawers that are a little higher or lower.
Seasonal items such as a Christmas sweater are "C" type items and should be up on a high shelf and out of the way, Marrero says. And "D" type items are items you're not using, but that are sentimental — think your high school letter jacket — and should be stored away.
Donate to the thrift store
Marrero, also an ambassador for Goodwill's Donate Movement (donate.goodwill.org), says that in general, Goodwill takes gently used clothing for resale and it's always helpful if you can bring those items in washed.
However, if you have torn, ripped or stained clothes, or used socks, for example, you can put those items in a separate bag labeled "salvage" so it will go into Goodwill's salvage and recycling program.
And be sure to track the value of your donations for your charitable deductions come tax season.

**NEW RELEASE** Stage 1 Software Now Available for 2014 SEAT Leon Cupra 280 The latest SEAT Leon Cupra is built around the MQB Chassis and uses the latest EA888 engine also shared with the VW Golf R and Audi S3. There's been a lot of positive press about this Cupra, SEAT themselves proud to promote it as the hottest and most exciting Cupra they've ever made. With a sub 8 minute laptime of the fabled Nurburgring under its belt the Cupra is certainly a capable car. "The New Leon Cupra is the hottest hatch we've ever made…" – SEAT UK "The most exciting Cupra we have ever made…" – SEAT UK "SEATs most powerful car ever" – EVO "…the quickest and most powerful SEAT ever" – Top Gear So, what can Revo do for it? We already know the Cupra is capable of more, as both the Golf R and S3 with the very same engine are making 20bhp more in factory form. From the months of development and testing already put into this engine we've shown its true potential in the release of our Stage1 software for the Golf R. Even when we were initially looking at our own Golf R and S3 we were excited to get our hands on a Cupra… they've always been a little more 'frisky' than their 4wd VW and Audi counterparts. Now, months down the line we're very pleased to release our Stage1 software for SEATs 'Hottest Hatch', the Leon Cupra +95bhp +90lbft OBD Port Flash (No ECU removal) SPS switch-ability Fuel specific performance modes Revo Power and Refinement They say power is nothing without control, well in our minds power delivery is key to giving the driver control and producing the best software on the market. Put the impressive gains to one side for a second, the months of testing and the miles covered in a variety of climatic conditions have all ensured our software gives smooth, responsive and most importantly useable power.

Details on Industry Insight.
An experienced snowboard boot designer and a former wetsuit designer have teamed up to create a new sandal brand called Freewaters.
Freewaters has two main focuses: To provide drinking water to those in need and to make great product, said Eli Marmar, a founder and partner in the brand, who graduated from the Art Center College of Design and previously designed wetsuits at O'Neill.
Some Freewaters men's sandals
Martin Kim, who designed snowboard boots at DC and Burton, is the other founding partner along with Martin's father, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who provided Freewaters with seed money.
Martin and Eli wanted to start their own brand, and settled on sandals after studying the market. While there are a lot of sandal brands out there, the two felt the category was underdeveloped in terms of styling and that there was not a lot of technical innovation.
Also, they believe sandals will become more and more accepted in the larger world as society continues to become more casual. And while there are lots of sandals brands in the surf space, the partners think the more sophisticated, streetwear market is underserved.
The humanitarian aspect came into the brand in part after Martin and Eli were inspired by how Toms was giving back while creating a successful business at the same time.
Currently, Freewaters is focused on building wells in Kenya, and has built five so far, providing clean water to an estimated 5,000 people.
I asked Eli if he worried at all that so many other companies seemed to be following in Toms' footsteps by incorporating a humanitarian aspect into their core business plans.
He pointed out it's a good thing if more companies are giving back and helping others. The important thing is to create original product that stands out, he said.
Freewaters house shoes come with a removable, washable liner
Freewaters' entry-level sandals, called Plus Class, range in price from $28 to $35, focus on comfort, and do not require breaking in, Eli said. Its middle tier, which it calls Bizness Class, retails for $38 to $50 and includes an ergonomic footbed that makes the sandal supportive and lightweight. The First Class tier contains running shoe architecture and retails for $60 to $100.
Freewaters offers 11 women's styles and nine men's styles, in addition to house shoes than include a removable, washable liner.
A few women's styles
Freewaters is currently sold in 100 accounts in North America and seven European Union
countries. Right now, the focus is on solid boardsports and outdoor accounts that can pay their bills, Eli said, and the brand recently hired an LA sales rep to target boutiques and department stores.
Eli and Martin are based in San Francisco, while Jeff Osthus, who heads up sales, is based in Huntington Beach. The brand's warehouse is also located there.

You are bidding on a Rare Demo from Yngwie Malmsteen thatyou will not find any w else but This is the Demo that Yngwie sent to Mike Varney that got him in the Spotlight Colum in Guitar player magazine. It also got him his Start in the bands Steeler and Alcatraz before he went solo. I have had this demo since the early 80's. Yngwie plays guitar, keyboards, and sings, His brother Bjorn plays drums, bass and backing vocals. This was recorded on a 4 track recorder at Yngwie moms house in Stockholm Sweden in early 1980. Yngwie singing is pretty funny if your used to hearing Jeff Scott Soto sing. This is a killer find for the die hard Yngwie fan and you will not be disappointed. It has some hissing in it but over all it kicks ass as far as the sound.

I love the front facing speakers and would hope to see this design in a smaller form factor, maybe 7-inch. The tablet app ecosystem is still not there yet on android and having a tablet this large to use phone apps doesn't sound pleasant. It starts at $399, a $100 less then the iPad air so there's that.
This phone is massive, think iPhone 6 Plus but much thicker. It's got some killer specs and starts at $649, no longer Google subsidized?
This is Google's version of continuity. It would have been more interesting if this worked with just the Chrome browser not Chrome OS.
Google's responses to Apple's CarPlay. I'd take either over any stock system from an auto manufacture.
Cleaner, more consistency, more fluid, and more iOS-like.

Does this mean the end of the Nexus program is near?
Matt Honan of Wired has a great round up of everything announced at the very long Google I/O keynote today.
Google is now offering the Nexus 5 in red in their Play Store and it looks so sweet!
Google doesn't like what Samsung is doing with Android and is putting them on notice. So much for no being evil.
I'm also worried at a new trend: I rarely see Google employees wearing theirs anymore. Most say "I just don't like advertising that I work for Google." I understand that. Quite a few people assume I work for Google when they see me with mine. I just hope it doesn't mean that Google's average employee won't support it.
Fewer Google employees are wearing them because they don't see a use for them (yet). I know many people that have paid hard cash for Google Glass and they are in the same camp. They uses it for a couple of weeks because it seems cool and they like the attention, but they get tired of charging and carrying it around only to not find any practical use for it. Right not It's just a $1500 paperweight for most.
It was just a matter of time before it got yanked because it violated Google's terms. The good news is you can still side-load the app if you really want it.
Or they could ship this by default and allow power users to install what they want, similar to how Apple ships the Mac App Store in OS X.
So 18 months and you're out of luck.
In 2005, Google promised that banner ads would never come to web search, saying:
There will be no banner ads on the Google homepage or web search results pages. There will not be crazy, flashy, graphical doodads flying and popping up all over the Google site. Ever.
Marissa Mayer was leading the charge against these things at Google and she's no longer there. I'm not surprised to see this now.

Where are some of the best bakeries in LA?
Where are your favorite bakeries in LA? I live on the westside but I am willing to drive a bit if it is worth it.
re: helluva meal
Here's the other (the original) branch.
Porto's Bakery
315 N Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA 91203
re: Das Ubergeek
Since you just gave me such great info about where to 'eat' in Long Beach, can you tell me where the greatest bakeries are in or near Long Beach?
re: chemchef
I have a confession to make. None of those places I gave you are in Long Beach. I have never eaten in Long Beach, except one absolutely hellacious banquet dinner aboard the Queen Mary. I couldn't tell you about great bakeries in Long Beach.
That said, if you get down here to OC, we have Van's Bakery, which is a Vietnamese bakery and a vision all unto itself -- picture French pastries and Vietnamese charcuterie all in one place.
Paris Baguette. The stores are mostly located in different areas of Koreatown but they are spreading to other areas.
bakeries in the westside (in random order)
1) clementine
2) urth cafe
3) jin patisserie
4) susiecakes
5) vanilla bakeshop
re: mollyomormon
For Jewish style bakeries try Bea's Bakery in Tarzana. In the fairfax area try the bakery at Canters Deli. Both are wonderful.
re: SIMIHOUND
You are joking about Canters right?
re: friedegg67
What's wrong with Canter's? I've never been disappointed with anything I've gotten at its bakery.
Susina on Beverly near LaBrea.
7122 Beverly Blvd
And Porto's.

re: Diana
Nata's is great.
For a good old fashioned bakery, I love Beverlywood (partly nostalgic since Gram used to buy cinnamon danishes there every time I visited her).
Viktor Benes' for Chocolate Parisian cake and cannolis.
Auntie Em's for red velvet
Jamaica's Cakes
I'm blanking on the name of the place on Montana just west of 17th St. on the north side of the street that sells great bakery products and coffee...
re: fdb
thank you! i literally run by it every day! i end up here or caffe luxxe regularly to meet up for coffee w/ friends and such, so i've sampled quite a bit.
the ciabatta, challah, whole grain cereale bread and baguettes, the cookies (chocolate chip, biscotti, italian wedding), a whole grain scone i had once, bran muffin, peach muffin, all the muffins... tart (fruit, white chocolate), and the cakes as well... all stuff i've had was pretty good, even the croissants.
re: fdb
i have... not bad either, but entirely different atmosphere for me... not a place i'd meet a date or anything, but maybe sit at the front window bar w/ a friend to people watch. the cinnamon croissants and cookies are pretty good. the bf likes the sandwiches (maybe chicken rosemary?). also have sampled good brioche, chocolate challah and panini breads.
edit: and i almost forgot the apple tart and pain au chocolat were pretty tasty as well. you can also get good breakfasts... steel cut oats.
Buttercake on Pico.
Not a huge selection but we have enjoyed everything we have tried, especially cupcakes and birthday cakes.
My favorite is Paradise Pastry in Glendale.
(818) 545-4000
1815 W Glenoaks Blvd
Glendale, CA
re: katkoupai
What is good at Paradise?
re: fdb
They have great cream puffs. They have a variety of Middle Eastern pastries, such as baklava, almond cookies, and buttery cookies with apricot jam on top. Turnover rate is very high, pastries are fresh, and cost is cheap. I love that place. I love the fresh fruit tarts and chocolate covered strawberries as well.
re: katkoupai
My favorites are:
* Maison du Pain on Pico near Hauser in Mid City (Love all of it!! My all time fave for sure!)
* Boule in BH and La Cienega (I love their macarons and other pastry)
* Chantilly Pastiserie in Lomita (Their Black Sesame Cream Puff is heaven!)
* Pheonix Bakery on Valley in San Gabriel (Their creamy puddings and jellos make me swoon!)
For bread only:
* Normandie Bakery on Jefferson and Cochran in Jefferson Park (I especially love their little bollio dinner rolls! )
* Bread Bar in Century City or 3rd street in BH (Love their Cheese Bread and all other loaves)
re: smfoodie
Are they moving to another location in the same mall? They make some good tarts, and yes, great prices.
re: smfoodie
I think they've already moved across Santa Monica Blvd. into the new complex there.
re: mollyomormon
I really enjoyed the fruit and cheese danishes I tried at Emil's recently. Reminded me of Neldam's, my favorite old-school bakery in the SF Bay Area. My only regret was that I couldn't try the bear claws, which were sold out.
re: smfoodie
One more vote for Emil's - they make the most devine, decadent chocolate fudge cake.. I ordered one four years ago for my fiancee's birthday, and he raves about it to this day.
re: EastBayShortcake
Always liked the fudge cake at Junior's on Westwood/Pico myself...
re: messermm
Porto's, but I don't know if they deliver. Their prices are bargain-basement compared to places like Susiecakes or Sour Shrew Jane, and their carrot cake and mango cheesecake are just...YUM.
re: messermm
Cakewalk Bakery might be a good option down there.
Also, have you seen this by USC?
How can I order a birthday cake for my student?
Parents have been very satisfied with http://www.delightfuldeliveries.com/. Please try to order in advance because delivery charges are higher for 1 or 2 day service.
Another option is Cakes to Go at 1-888-422-5324.
If your student lives on campus, you can order a cake through USC Dining Services at 213-740-0259.
it's not a dedicated bakery, but people rave about the pies at babalu in SM.
1002 Montana Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90403
Buttercake on Pico is soooo good. My bro just got married last week, 4 people for dinner, cake at last minute, called Buttercake that morning, AMAZING chocolate cake by evening. Like one of the best cakes I've ever had.
Pain Quotidian -- okay it's a chain but it's still a great french-organic bakery/restaurant. Breads are fantastic with good variety and their belgian chocolate brownie is evilly delicious. Also great tarts and pies. Another plus, they will also let you buy a half-loaf of bread (at least they did at the one on Melrose last time I went). Am also a big fan to their egg-salad sandwich. Yummy! Have locations in Brentwood, West Hollywood and Sherman Oaks that I know of.
re: bite bite
Second that on every count. I've also been getting half, or even quarter loaves (if they're really the big round loaf, they'll quarter them, like the whole wheat sourdough, which is really good).
re: bite bite
I agree about the Pain Quotidian. I really love how they let you half the loafs too. I also have to second Porto's, my girlfriend loves that place.
BTW, has anyone been to Big Sugar Bakery on Ventura in Studio City. I think that's the name, I've heard good things but haven't been.
re: roasted138
I went.. not impressed. Too many cutesy tchochkes competing with the baked goods. This tells me two things:1 they are cutesy. I hate cutesy bakeries. 2. They don;t trust their baked goods to ring in enough $$$ to cover overhead. That's not a good thing when a baker doesn't believe in the product!
I tasted a few non-nut baked goods. meh.
I'll go to Leda's over Big Sugar ANY DAY.
I like Angel Maid's cakes a lot, and have bought very good fruit tarts at Delice. Bread is tougher, but the Santa Monica Saturday's farmer's market on Pico/Cloverfield has some good bakery vendors.
Delice Bakery
8583 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90035
Angel Maid Bakery
4538 S Centinela Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Paris Pastry, Westwood. Caveat: Haven't been there for about 30 years!~ they used to have great brioche.
Paris Pastry
1448 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Amandine is my favorite for croissants and cakes.
I go to Emil's for fresh fruit tarts.
Grateful Bread makes good breads, especially the whole grain with sesame.
Caprice French Pastries on Pico Blvd (across from Trader Joe's) does most business wholesale to restaurants, but walk-in customs get to taste free samples. Go and see if you like what they are baking.
re: redrover
Porto's you can. There's a cafe section at each branch.
Why leave the Westside when you've got Buttercake, Emil's and, especially, A M A N D I N E !!!!
It's not fancy or delicate, but it hits the spot--King's Hawaiian (there's two branches in the South Bay in Torrance). The Paradise cake is awesome and very inexpensive.
No one's mentioned -- oof, the Persian bakery on Westwood, named....Iris cafe perhaps? It's on the west side of the street north of Pico.
And then there's another Persian place, Star Bakery I think it's called on Santa Monica Blvd in the mall with Western Bagel, south side of the street.
And then there's another terrific Persian bakery on Sawtelle, west side *just* south of Santa Monica. Mmmmm their little cookies are delicious. And the mocha cakes. Yumee!
I wish I had four stomachs like cows....
re: aliris
Another Persian bakery that seems popular and the few things I have bought from them have been quite good:
Orchid Bakery
1927 Westwood Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 441-4420
I like Diamond Bakery on Garvey and Atlantic. I think the city is Alhambra or Monterey Park. I love the Mango Cakes. It is an Asian bakery with the best Sesame Balls made with rice flour stuffed with sweetened red bean paste or taro root.
I also like El Gallo Mexican Bakery located in ELA. You can get a Champurrado with your "pan dulce". I think they carry the Tres Leches Cake there. Pick up a taco at King Taco before stopping at the bakery.
re: kanosis
I found a great custom cake website in Westlake Village, www.PastriesByVreeke.com Has anyone heard of it?
Been going to Emil's for many years now. I especially like the horseshoes (thursdays) and the raspberry napoleons which show up only occasionally. You can order a dozen anytime though.
do cupcakes count as a bakery item?
lark in silverlake (very long drive, i know, but it's worth it) is amazing. i love their chocolate cupcake and would fly across the continent to get my hands on them.
not a fan of jin's - their cakes are stored in an overly cold glass cabinet and seeing the condensation does not exactly make my mouth water.
re: stsuchih
I agree...haven't had that cheesecake, but everything i've tried there is exceptional--
Hi.. suggestions for good bakeries at which to order a birthday cake (that is still good not just pretty) in the SFV (East) or SGV (West)? Leda's is all booked up - they suggested Big Sugar but they got a bad review in this thread. Anything in Burbank (besides Porto's), Glendale, Studio City or Pasadena? Anyone try Martino's (I haven't but it was a place that came up on on Yahoo when looking for Burbank bakeries)? Thanks.
re: burbankfoodie
I have purchased and enjoyed bday cakes at Paradise Pastry in Glendale.
Paradise Pastry
1825 W Glenoaks Blvd
Glendale, CA 91201
(818) 545-4000
Open Daily 6am-10pm
re: burbankfoodie
Ugh, don't go to Martino's. Everything tastes like sugar and nothing else. It's bad. It's not the same owners either (though you can get the tea cakes from the original Martino's people at United Bakery, in the 700 block of South Flower Street in a truly God-awful part of Burbank).
Agree with katkoupai -- Paradise Pastry is really good. Or if you want a tres leches cake, go to Vallarta, specifically the one at Victory and Ethel in Valley Glen.
re: Das Ubergeek
I'll third the Paradise rec. And the prices are great, too.
Try Euro Pane if your around Pasadena. The owner is a Paris-trained pastry chef.
950 E. Colorado Bl
Cakehouse in the Galleria supermarket on corner of Western & Olympic. They have SO many different types of individually packed breads that are filled with anything from cream, butter, peanut butter, and sweet beans. They also have fresh croquettes which are to die for!! My favorites are the tuna and curry croquette. The breads are delicious and they even carry finger sandwiches which are hard to turn down. They also have a pastry counter with beautiful cakes, whole or sliced, which look amazing but I'll admit to not having tried yet. There's always a TON of people so you can be sure everything's fresh It's a Korean bakery but trust, you won't be disappointed!!
Did House of Pan get a mention in this thread? Love their chocolate mousse (which they rarely seem to have)

Gilbert Arenas' turnaround reveals maturity
Over the past year, Washington Wizards fans have seen Gilbert Arenas pull a complete "180." In 12 months, the one-time superstar has transformed himself from playful NBA character to a stern, serious player on and off the court. The timeline for Arenas hasn't come without sin, as we all know, but looking closely at how the point guard has changed should make us feel a bit sad.
Arenas first came into the league in 2001 as a member of the Golden State Warriors. Arenas, then a ripe and immature 20 years old, started 47 games his rookie season, accumulating 511 points. Two years later, he moved to Washington and became the face of a franchise and a city that, with the addition of the Washington Nationals just two years later, was in the midst of a youth revival.
Immediately Arenas elevated from an all-star to superstar. In his first four seasons with the Wizards, Arenas scored more than 7,500 points and lead Washington to the playoffs three times. Soon, however, things soured, ultimately resulting in last season's incident in which Arenas brought guns into the locker room, landing him a 50-game suspension and time in a halfway house.
But that was last year. Now, a more serious Arenas has reported to Wizards camp, evidenced by his comments so far this preseason. Wednesday, Arenas talked to reporters and offered this comment regarding his future and that of the Wizards.
"Right now I'm out there to hit open shots, teach John the ins and outs of the game and then eventually go on and move on -- on my way," Arenas told reporters.
John, of course, meaning first overall pick John Wall, who so far has played like a No. 1 pick. But what Arenas' comments show me is a man who, if his thoughts are genuine, has accepted his past and is ready to move on.
I think wanting to take Wall under his wing shows great maturity. After all, one of the hardest things for athletes to do is admit when their time is up. It's a rare sight to see a superstar bow out when he knows it's time, and it's even rarer for that star to offer wisdom and advice to the guy taking his place.
But that's exactly what Arenas seems to be driving at. He knows his time in Washington is nearing an end, and that Wall is the future for the Wizards. Arenas simply wants to make sure Wall's transition into the NBA is as smooth as possible. Maybe this is Arenas' way of truly apologizing to the organization and the fans during his time. Whatever it is, it's nice to see Arenas is trying to end his time in Washington on a positive note.

Influencing Your Child's Career Decision
- Thursday, December 22, 2005
According to many studies done over the past 50 years, parents have the greatest influence on their children's career decisions. This is true despite any real or presumed generation gap, and it's true even in today's society, with the pressures of television, movies, peers, the Internet and broken marriages.
This is the way it should be, because God has given parents a special responsibility to serve as managers or stewards of the children God has given to them. Most Christian parents in America are familiar with the verse, "Teach a youth about the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).
However, few parents realize that the implications of the verse mean that parents are to dedicate themselves to be good stewards of their children and train them according to their natural abilities and talents. If parents will do this, their children won't depart from God's design for them.
The verse further implies that each child is unique and has been given his or her special talents and abilities for service in God's Kingdom. Parents need to groom their children using biblical principles and help them use their God-given gifts.
Unfortunately, some parents view their role as owners rather than stewards, and this can cause some serious parent-child relationship problems. If parents view themselves as owners, they likely will feel a responsibility -- sometimes an acute responsibility -- for what their children will do, or become involved with as adults. Those parents who see themselves as owners instead of stewards will apply pressure to mold them into the desired careers or professional roles they have envisioned for their children.
On the other hand, when parents view themselves as stewards, they are more likely to be concerned with helping their children nurture and develop their talents and abilities through sound guidance and encouragement. With this type of approach, children can become what God has equipped them to be.
There are five primary areas in which Christian parents should be very cautious with regard to influencing their children's career decisions.
First, it's normal for many Christian parents to want their children to be involved in the work of the Lord. However, it is harmful to children when they are pressured by their parents to enter the ministerial profession to become pastors, evangelists or missionaries just to fulfill their parents' dreams and desires. Of course, all Christians are called of God to minister, but not all are called into paid ministerial positions. The concern of all parents should be that their children would accept the Lord, use their talents and abilities to serve Him, work in service for Him as He directs, help others to know Him, and help those in need.
The second area can become one of the biggest problems that parents face. It comes from a legitimate and very normal desire to see their children become successful. However, when parents push and manipulate their children toward career fields and professions, because they seem to be more prestigious fields or they will satisfy the pride and ego of their parents, the children could very well find themselves on the road to frustration, depression or career disaster. Parents should never pressure their children to live the parents' dreams of success.
The third area is one that often finds parents pressuring their children to pursue careers that pay the most money, rather than careers that appeal to and complement their talents and abilities. This attitude by the parents implies that the more money their children make, the more successful they are. And while income certainly is an important consideration, it should not be the dominating focus.

Abstract. The chemistry climate model ECHAM5/MESSy1 (E5/M1) in a setup extending from the surface to 80 km with a vertical resolution of about 600 m near the tropopause with nudged tropospheric meteorology allows a direct comparison with satellite data of chemical species at the same time and location. Here we present results out of a transient 10 years simulation for the period of the Antarctic vortex split in September 2002, where data of MIPAS on the ENVISAT-satellite are available. For the first time this satellite instrument opens the opportunity, to evaluate all stratospheric nitrogen containing species simultaneously with a good global coverage, including the source gas N2O which allows an estimate for NOx-production in the stratosphere. We show correlations between simulated and observed species in the altitude region between 10 and 50 hpa for different latitude belts, together with the Probability Density Functions (PDFs) of model results and observations. This is supplemented by global charts on pressure levels showing the satellite data and the simulated data sampled at the same time and location. We demonstrate that the model in most cases captures the partitioning in the nitrogen family, the diurnal cycles and the spatial distribution within experimental uncertainty. There appears to be, however, a problem to reproduce the observed nighttime partitioning between N2O5 and NO2 in the middle stratosphere.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Product Launch
Location: Highline Stages, Chelsea, NYC
Date: November 2013
Project Type: On-site rendering in NYC Medium: Permanent, chalk look
I was asked to design and render several large scale illustrations as part of Microsoft's product launch of their Visual Studio 2013 platform. The event took place at the beautiful Highline Stages in Chelsea, NYC.
I designed several layouts and rendered each in permanent mediums for display during the event. I also rendered several typographical layouts on a 4'x40' chalkboard at the entrance of the the event space.
The chalkboard layout below were rendered at 4'x5' on chalkboard vinyl that was then adhered to a solid aluminum backing, they were displayed on easels.
I was hired by Mrs. Green's to design and develop their re-branding efforts using the chalkboard as the main source of inspiration. I designed several murals and layouts that are now being duplicated at all of their new locations, each by a local artist.
