Careless employees continue to cost companies millions. That's one of the key takeaways from the 2011 Cost of a Data Breach Study released last month by Symantec and the Ponemon Institute, which provides valuable insight into the data breaches that occurred during the past year.
Negligent insiders were the top source of data breaches in 2011, causing 39 percent of all breaches in the study. Just behind negligence, malicious attacks caused 37 percent of all breaches and were the most expensive type of breach, averaging $222 per lost record.
Overall, the average organizational cost of a data breach was $5.5 million last year, and the cost per lost or stolen record was $194. It's important to remember that although there was a reported decrease in data breach costs, the financial consequences of data breaches are still very significant, especially for an SMB.
Small businesses must stay more vigilant and up-to-date on their security practices than ever before. The findings from the 2011 Cost of a Data Breach Study reinforce Symantec's advice for SMBs – training and awareness programs are crucial.
In order to protect your SMB's data, here are some best practices to consider:
- Assess risks by identifying and classifying confidential information
- Educate employees on information protection policies and procedures (such as streamlined social media profiles), then hold them accountable
- Implement an integrated security solution that includes reputation-based security, proactive threat protection, firewall and intrusion prevention in order to keep malware off endpoints
- Consider data loss prevention technologies which enable policy compliance and enforcement
- Use appropriate security and backup solutions to archive important files
- Proactively encrypt laptops to minimize consequences of a lost device
- Implement two-factor authentication (Ex. VPN plus strong user name and password.
- Integrate information protection practices into businesses processes.
Want to know what a data breach might cost you? Symantec's free data breach calculator will help you understand how all the research in the study relates to and affects your company. Go to www.databreachcalculator.com to calculate the potential cost of a data breach for your small business.

In a game that's all about forming alliances, J'Tia Taylor essentially blew up her own chances of winning in Week 2 of Survivor: Cagayan, when she dumped out all but a few grains of her tribe's rice in a moment of frustration. Despite the fact that she managed to (shockingly) not get voted out immediately afterwards, J'Tia's torch was finally snuffed in this week's episode.
"I have no regrets," J'Tia tells TVGuide.com of the rice-throwing incident. "It was kind of like my 'go big or go home' moment."
At this point, she's done both. Read our full exit interview with J'Tia to get her full explanation regarding the rice, and thoughts on how Jeff Probst may have influenced her tribe's decision to toss her on Wednesday's episode.
John Cochran went from, as he tells it, an "annoying freak" on his first season of Survivor (South Pacific) to the Sole Survivor in his second outing, Survivor: Caramoan — Fans vs. Favorites, with not a single vote cast against him throughout the entire run of the latter. How'd he do it?
When one of this season's more agreeable Survivor contestants, Dawn, tearfully declared, "I don't want to be here" during Brandon Hantz's epic and ugly tirade of a meltdown last week, I imagine she was speaking for many of us. read more

"I can't believe this got so many good reviews, it was so bland. I tried perking it up with extra cheese and bacon, still not too good."
"so easy! followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. used for banana pudding and it came out way better than when i made it with boxed pudding.
*update* I made with fat free milk and it came out just as good."
"sorry, really didn't like the pineapple in these. i'll stick with my black bean/zucchini enchiladas."
"we just ate at ohana last week and i was so excited to find this recipe. i don't know if they changed the dressing they use at ohanna, but this wasn't it. the one they use now is brown and not as sweet. that said, this was good, fresh tasting, just not what i expected."
"followed the recipe exactly and this was great!! the vinegar gives it just the right amount of zing. even the kids loved it. served with ciabatta bread. update: made this again with 1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes, we really love this."
"really good! i browned my chicken in a deep skillet and then took the chicken out and made the sauce in that pan so it had some cajun flavor. (i actually added alittle cajun spice to the sauce too.) i also used fat free half & half and it turned out creamy and delicious!"
"i have been making this for years and just happened to come across the recipe here so i had to say how AMAZING these are. we have it every christmas morning - i wake up, turn on the oven, and by the time the kids are done opening their presents, we have a delicious breakfast waiting for us. also, i use 24 rolls and bake at 350 for 30 min and the..."
"this came out really good when following the directions. rich, gooey, super chocolatey. i also attempted to make this sugar free for my dad using unsweetened chocolate and splenda for baking. HORRIBLE. the butter separated when baking so it was a greasy mess on top and hard crumbly chocolate on the bottom."
"very good, very tender. used the meat to make cuban sandwiches, then mixed leftovers with bbq sauce and had pulled pork sandwiches too ."
"this was my first time eating quinoa and i was hoping to love it because of all the good reveiws, but it just had a weird taste. i think it probably would be better in a savory dish."

Won't Somebody Please Think Of Morbid!September 10, 2014 at 10:36 am by Morbid
HERE, NOW – It's that time again! Time for me to ask that you please help support the site with your hard-earned dough. Last time went pretty well, but this time I'm going a different route by echoing the successful CCF commercials featuring Sally Struthers I hated so much.
So here goes nothing:
ANNOUNCER: For about one dollar you can buy a can of soda, regular or diet. For Dreamin' Demon, a dollar a month can help feed a site administrator, like Morbid, nourishing meals from area gas stations.
For one dollar you can also buy a cup of coffee. For one dollar a month you can help a "writer" like Morbid get the alcohol he needs to read and write all the depressing articles featured on Dreamin' Demon on a daily basis.
For one dollar you can buy a pack of gum, plain or sugarless. For one dollar a month, you can help a forum moderator, like Morbid, receive treatment for the various STDs he picks up from online hookups.…
Dreamin' Demon Is Creating Horrible News Update 3February 4, 2014 at 8:39 am by Morbid
Here, Now – First, let me personally thank each and every one of you who have pledged. We have only been using Patreon for about a month and, overall, I am happy with it. I haven't spammed the Patreon page over the last couple of weeks, so pledging has stalled a bit, but I have no doubt we can reach a monthly pledge amount that will allow me to remove all banner ads from the site.
For those of you unaware, we have decided to use Patreon in an attempt to crowdfund the site. You can read the long explanation over on our Patreon page. But the short story is the site keeps getting more expensive, but the ad revenue does not change. I could use shitty ads that pop-up\under or fly-over, but I hate those and most of you are probably using some kind of ad-blocking software.
So we though we would see what would happen if we tried not sucking up to advertisers and relied solely on our fanbase for funding, allowing us to focus purely on beautiful, uncensored content.…
Pulpit of Doom Podcast 01-31-2014February 3, 2014 at 7:46 am by Morbid
Here, Now – Thanks to everyone who showed up to Friday night's surprisingly sober edition of the Pulpit of Doom Podcast in which I was joined by Jaded and our new writer, Adam.
In this week's podcast we talked about the top 10 stories circulating on the site, including freezing to death, the Arthur G. Dozier Reform School for Boys, burning toddler's genitals with a hair dryer, car seat murder motives, and why being dick slapped is funny.
At the end of the show, Jaded listened in fascinated silence as Adam and myself discussed horror films for almost an hour, and decided that we will try to do a second weekly podcast dedicated to horror movies. I will get you the details on this as soon as I have them.
As usual, keep up to date with all site related news on our Facebook Page, Twitter, or the Demon's Den forums. If you'd like to be reminded when the next Pulpit of Doom podcast is about to air, simply follow us on Blog Talk Radio. …
Dreamin' Demon Is Creating Horrible News Update 2January 23, 2014 at 10:25 am by Morbid
Here, Now – It's only been two weeks since we signed on with Patreon, and already we have 96 patrons with a combined monthly pledge of $450. This warms my black heart and shows we are totally capable being totally independent without the need for advertisers.
For those of you unaware, we have decided to use Patreon in an attempt to crowdfund the site. You can read the long explanation over on our Patreon page. But the short story is the site keeps getting more expensive, but the ad revenue does not change. I could use shitty ads that pop-up\under or fly-over, but I hate those and most of you are probably using some kind of ad-blocking software.
So, as a test, we though we would see what would happen if we tried not sucking up to advertisers and relied solely on our fanbase and get back to not caring what we post or how we post it. Patreon may just be the way we achieve that, while still making enough revenue to keep the site up and running.…
Dreamin' Demon Is Creating Horrible News UpdateJanuary 16, 2014 at 11:25 am by Morbid
Here, Now - It's only been a week since we signed on with Patreon, and already we have 83 pledgers with a combined monthly pledge of $350. I think that's a good sign we are well on our way to becoming totally independent without the need for advertisers, while still being able to keep the lights on.
For those of you who may have missed my spamming, or have ignored the big ass banner at the top of the page, we have decided to use Patreon in an attempt to fund the site. You can read the long explanation over on our Patreon page, but the short story is that we are attempting to become totally crowd-funded.
I have been running the site for 10 years come this April, and in that time I've tried varying methods to increase revenue to keep up with rising server costs, while also adding some things fans have been asking for for years – mainly merchandise. We tried playing nice after Google dropped us from their Adsense program a few years back, even toning down or language and comments, but we just haven't been able to make good ad revenue since, especially when looking at the traffic we get.…
Dreamin' Demon Is Creating Horrible NewsJanuary 8, 2014 at 3:50 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – As we quickly approach our 10 year anniversary, we'd like to make some changes for 2014. In particular, we'd like to turn off the red light and quit whoring it up for potential advertisers.
After some discussions at the end of last year, I came to the conclusion that I'd like to get back to the raunchier D'D from the days of old. We've tried to play nice in an attempt to win over some better paying advertising and found ourselves all dressed up with no one to blow.
After checking out a handful of different fundraising type sites, we have settled on Patreon. I have created a Patreon page, like a lot of other independent content creators, in hopes that I can shrug off the shackles of advertisers' content restrictions while still bringing in some kind of revenue.
Patreon allows people in my position to ask for monthly pledges from their fans. Currently that pledge is one, whole dollar. This can be paid via credit card or Paypal and can be easily cancelled at any time.…
Pulpit of Doom Podcast: 11-22-2013November 30, 2013 at 9:14 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – Normally I post our Pulpit of Doom podcasts the Monday following the night we record them, but here is one from last week that I never got a chance to post because of the server issues we were experiencing. This was a total drunkcast with myself and Jaded.
I would love to tell you what the hell we talked about, but these stories sometimes bleed together. It didn't help that I was slurring through most of it and brought up stories that weren't even in the top 10 list – including the guy who fist raped some chick's asshole.
Speaking of the podcasts, we are moving the Pulpit of Doom from Thursday nights at 9:30 Eastern (the night the women said was best for them) to Friday nights 9:30 Eastern (the night the women said was best for them). Go figure. I try to announce these things on the day of the podcast, but to make things even easier you can simply follow us on our BTR page and you will get an email reminder.…
Pulpit of Doom Podcast: 9-27-2013September 28, 2013 at 4:03 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – If you missed last night's Pulpit of Doom, you missed one in which Athena and Jaded joined me for an old fashioned, Friday night Drunkcast. You can listen to it below and read the chat transcript here.
The entire thing is a blur to me, but I don't think I've laughed that much in a while. Although, I did receive word that my "hick motherfucker" accent became more pronounced the more I enjoyed my Kraken.
I do know we talked about the top 10 stories on the site for the last week, including hot car babies, sucker punching strangers, menstruation, killer baggage carousels, women who rape children, and moronic vigilante justice.
I vaguely recall me and Athena getting into an argument over what constitutes a murder charge, me saying the word's "little girl's asshole" as well as explaining how to use a turd to avoid a stiff sentence for murder, and Jaded explaining why her kids were never raped at knife-point by a roommate.
After we went off the air, we bullshitted for another 30 minutes about a bunch of stuff, including Athena and Jaded expressing their extreme jealously over my taste in great music. …
Major Upgrade To The Demon's Den CompletedAugust 19, 2013 at 9:53 am by Morbid
Here, Now – We have completed our overhaul of The Demon's Den forums and they are open for business.
As many of you longtime members already know, Dreamin' Demon originated as a forum that was later expanded to what you know and love now.
The forums remained, and are the seedy underbelly of the site – populated by some of our longest, and most dedicated readers – and the Reality Bites section is where the majority of our front page news comes from.
But after six years of using vBulletin forum software, we made the transition to Xenforo over the last week. Luckily, aside from one week's worth of data, we were able to import over six years of data into the new forums, so all the threads, posts and member data remained intact.
I could go into why we decided to make this change to Xenforo is a much better experience for the user, as well as us admins, but it's easier to say it's best to experience for yourself.…
Pulpit of Doom Podcast 7-11-2013July 12, 2013 at 8:14 am by Morbid
Here, Now – Thanks to Athena for helping me host another Pulpit of Doom Podcast last night, as well as all of you who showed up to chat live while we were on air. That's one of the best crowds of people we've had in awhile.
In last night's episode, we began with my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have donated to the site over the last few days – no matter the amount. My goal was to get an entire year of server costs paid for, and within 3 short days, we're halfway there.
As a site owner\writer, nothing fuels me more than a good ego-stroking and knowing I've created a site people like enough to donate money to. I still hate asking for dough, but my pride was a hell of a lot easier to swallow when washed down with the notes of encouragement I've received. You guys are the best, I don't care what your friends and family say about you.
Ok, enough of that sappy shit.…
Dreamin' Demon Needs You! Again.July 9, 2013 at 2:04 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – It's that time again, dear readers. Time for your not-so-humble host to ask for your help in keeping this crazy train rolling by donating some of your hard earned cash.
As a lot of you know, I have been operating D'D for nine years. In that time, it has been funded totally out of pocket and with the help of some of our fans who've dedicated their time, money or both.
We're not owned by a a company or affiliated with anyone, so making money off a crime site has been a bumpy road. We've been dropped or rebuked by Google, Yahoo, Bing, and a host of other higher paying advertisers because of our "inappropriate content."
We could have softened things up a bit, but we felt that changing the tone of the site would take away from why people visit and, ultimately, why I even bother doing it.
To compensate, I am signed on with lower-paying advertising alternatives but choose not to use higher-paying pop-up, pop-under and flyover ads – all in the belief that we could continue operating purely on my dime, a little ad revenue and reader donations.…
Pulpit of Doom Podcast 3-21-2012March 22, 2013 at 6:56 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – Last night's podcast was one of a kind. Me and Athena got some wires crossed yesterday and needles to say, she wasn't aware we were doing a Pulpit of Doom. I had already advertised that we were doing one, so I figured I would pull in one of the few people who sometimes hop on and co-host with me, but as luck would have it, no one was available.
So I threw a Hail Mary and asked our Facebook fans if anyone was interested in co-hosting – in 20 minutes. I didn't think anyone would actually take me up on the offer, but one brave person did. With the chat room filling up, and only minutes to go, I thought I was going to have to podcast alone (which I loathe). But with five seconds before we went on the air, Lucy, a fan of the site for two years, joined in.
So last night marked the first ever podcast in which my co-host was someone I had never even spoken to before going live, aside from asking, "Is this Lucy?"
Admittedly, I was a bit nervous, as I had no idea if Lucy was a mouth breathing moron or someone just fucking around, but turns out we had a decent podcast that went off without a hitch – my 1000 uhs and ums notwithstanding.…
Pulpit of Doom Podcast For 2-14-2013February 15, 2013 at 12:24 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – Last night was our first "official" Pulpit of Doom podcast in almost half a year. Overall, it felt like old times and we appreciate everyone who turned up on Valentine's Day to participate. For the majority of the 90 minutes, we talk about this week's top 10 stories while other listeners chatted away live in the Pulpit of Doom chatbox.
Aside from some discussion on the cringe-inducing phone sex between Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander, there were also many revelations. These included me having no issues screwing a horse if it meant I would be rewarded with a horesman baby, and that Jaded has no problems with toddler run gas stations and can get through a story involving penis by simply not saying the word "penis".
There's a bit of conversation that took place after we went off the air, but It's just me and Jaded discussing a couple books we are currently reading and how we want to tackle future reviews of books and movies for the site.…
Jersey Man Takes Dump In Police Car Then Eats Own FingerOctober 24, 2012 at 12:00 am by PetePuma
Jersey City, NJ – Jargget Washington, 29, was arrested Sunday night while reportedly being nude, belligerent, and sky-high on PCP.
He had reportedly attempted to pull a driver out of a car, but failed when the man fought back. So much for that super-human strength PCP is supposed to give a dude.
Police were able to subdue Washington and transfer him to Jersey City Medical Center where he started acting up again, spitting at officers, chewing at his own wrists in an attempt to free himself, and devouring his medical ID bracelet.
He was eventually cleared for transfer to Hudson County Jail while still in his medical gown. On the way, he dropped a deuce in the police cruiser, which is something cops really seem to relish.
And, as we all know, an evacuation of one's bowels can really work up a voracious appetite. Washington answered his body's call for food by prompting him to eat his own finger right off his hand. Yeah, he swallowed it too. If you've had enough, you may now proceed to the comments section to submit your most inappropriate "dark meat" jokes.…
Dreamin' Demon Fundraiser — Third Time's The Charm?July 23, 2012 at 10:38 am by Morbid
Here, Now – It's been three years, but circumstances have us at a point in which I must
beg for money start another fundraiser. I hate it, but I wouldn't do it if it wasn't necessary.
I have always tried to be transparent when it comes to DD and how haphazardly it is run. Those who know me personally, as well as those who have worked with me on the site, know that DD has been, and remains to be, a hobby of mine. It is not a source of income. Trust me when I say that had I wanted to start a site to make a living with, DD wouldn't have been it. Running a crime news site like DD, in my experience, is the worst possible niche to get into if you are looking to make a living at it. Crime gets an audience, but it certainly does not pay.
If you do a Google search on "ads for news sites" you will see part of the problem. Basically, news sites have a hard time finding advertisers.…
Pulpit Of Doom Drunkcast Episode 9May 14, 2012 at 10:52 am by Morbid
Here, Now – Thanks to everyone who showed up to Saturday night's The Pulpit of Doom Drunkcast with myself and Athena. You can listen to it here. I thought it was one of our better ones, even when Athena got booted for a few moments and I was left
floundering podcasting by myself — which I hate.
In this episode, Athena tossed down a seasonal cocktail while I downed a few bottles of Yuengling while gabbing about Hugh Howey's WOOL books and why you should check them out — even if you don't like science fiction, demonic pit bulls tossing women on railroad tracks, coach-inspired masturbation races with underage players, a hot-tempered teen who murdered a toddler, parental humiliation done terribly wrong, the worst case scenario for a first time hang-glider, kids getting rolled into security gates, and much, much more. In fact, we got into so many good discussions, we were unable to finish the Top 10 list before time ran out.
Thanks again to Athena for showing up, and to all of you who continue to support us and chatted during the show.…
The Pulpit of Doom Episode 24April 19, 2012 at 7:54 am by Morbid
Here, Now – Thanks to all of you who showed up to last night's last minute episode of The Pulpit of Doom with myself, Athena and PetePuma. You can listen to it here.
After a bit of a hiatus, the stars aligned and we were all able to record last night and figured we'd take advantage of it. We only scheduled for an hour, but could have easily gone for another as evident by our 45-minute discussion after we went offline.
In this episode, after 15 minutes explaining where we have been and why Jaded has been absent, we discussed the horrors of being pulled into a wood-chipper, laws created in the names of other people and the Peckerwoods who are convicted under them, whether taxpayers should be able to dictate if welfare recipients can buy cigarettes and lottery tickets, being killed by swans, meat pies stuffed with human flesh, and much more.
Afterwards, PetePuma signs off after his voice finally gives up the ghost so me and Athena talked for almost an hour about the current music scene and the horror movie genre.…
The Pulpit of Doom Drunkcast Numero SixMarch 18, 2012 at 12:15 pm by Morbid
Here, Now – Thanks to everyone who showed up to the 6th episode of the Pulpit of Doom Drunkcast to do some drinking with Morbid, Jaded, Athena and later in the show, Kniption — who was drunk long before he called in. You can listen to the episode here. For those unaware, the drunkcasts are like our Wednesday show, just infused with copious amounts of alcohol.
Gonna have to admit, I think this may have been the drunkest of shows and not your average crime related podcast. The show began showing signs of smoke with my very first sentence, a sentence that contained "um" not 30 seconds after I bet Jaded I would not use "um" in the entire podcast. Flames were spotted right around the time Jaded mentioned Captain Cunt, and reports of a fiery object falling from the sky started coming in right around the time Kniption called in and we began talking about eating your dead spouse.
Somewhere along the way, we discuss murder suicide in front of the kiddos, drunken Amish drag racing, Ouija boards and the people who believe the debil can make you do it, the deadly nature of a Jack in the Box breakfast sandwich, Kony 2012 and how everyone thinks they're an activist with the click of a mouse, slipping into something a bit more comfortable inside your neighbor's house, the horrible death of Tori Stafford, how our site may have scared some mothers into shoving their children back up their vaginas for protection, and much, much more.…

Continuing our countdown of the 50 most valuable USC football players of 2012:
Vitals: 5-10, 190, redshirt sophomore
Comment: Because of transfers and other issues, USC has only three full-time scholarship tailbacks. Only two can be counted on at this point: starter Curtis McNeal and backup Morgan. The odds of McNeal pinballing his way through an entire season without a single ding or dent are long at best. So Morgan absolutely will be needed this season, and he has a great chance to produce after struggling last season. Morgan began 2011 as the starting tailback but lost the job after just two weeks. He had trouble securing the ball and maintaining his balance with a knee that wasn't quite right and clearly affected his confidence. Now, Morgan's surgically repaired right knee is as close to 100 percent as it ever will be. He looked strong in spring camp and felt well enough to participate in the 110-meter high hurdles late in the track season. Should anything happen to McNeal, Morgan is far and away USC's next-best alternative.
(About the rankings: The criteria used to derive the rankings included players' past and projected production; their general importance to the team; how indispensable they are according to the depth chart; their position versatility; their ability to play special teams; and their leadership skills and other intangible traits.)

Interpreting OBD2 Data
OBD2 Technical
>OBD2 Data
The generic OBD2/ODBII data is used extensively in modern engine control. The information below attempts to demonstrate some of the more common uses for the data.
Calculated Engine Load
Coolant Temp
Fuel Trim
Manifold Pressure
O2 Sensors
Intake Air Temp Tweaks
Please note that this information is presented without warranty of accuracy. Although we will continue to strive to provide accurate, complete information, all use of information on these pages is at your own risk. This information attempts to pertain to a large number of vehicles from different manufacturers, and some variations may be omitted for overall clarity.
Calculated Engine Load
California Air Resource Board (CARB) defines this as airflow divided by peak air flow. Peak air flow may be adjusted for altitude via barometric means if available. For diesel engines, the number is current output torque divided by peak output torque at current rpm. We have noted that vacuum leaks can have dramatic effects on this value.
Coolant Temperature
Modern engine performance depends heavily on the accuracy of the sensor monitoring coolant temperature. This sensor is often independent of the measurement reported on the dash. It should read close to ambient temperature at startup, and run to between 180°F-220°F after warmup. Injector pulse width is heavily dependent on this sensor, causing engines to run very rich at startup (remember the manual choke?). Fuel enrichment is usually tapered off around 150°F.
Fuel Trim
Fuel trim refers to adjustments being made dynamically to the base fuel table to get the proper ratio of fuel to air. Short term fuel trim refers to adjustments being made in response to temporary conditions. Long term fuel trim is used to compensate for issues that seem to be present over a much longer period. Fuel trims are expressed in percentages; positive values indicate lean (add fuel) and negative values indicate rich (subtract fuel). Fuel trim banks refer to the cylinder banks in a V style engine. Cylinder #1 is always in bank 1. Fuel trim is generally calculated by using a wide set of data values, including front O2 sensors, intake air temperature/pressure (or the more elegent air mass sensor), engine (coolant) temp, anti-knock sensors, engine load, throttle position (and change in throttle position), and even battery voltage can effect fuel trim. Long term fuel trim generally should not exceed +- 10%.
Manifold Pressure
Manifold Air (or Absolute) Pressure (MAP) sensor measures intake vacuum, used to calculate engine load and timing advance. It may also contribute to fuel trim.
O2 Sensors
O2 sensors monitor exhaust gases for the presence of oxygen. Heated sensors are commonly referred to as HO2S, which allows sensors to begin giving valid data much earlier in the warm up cycle. Most sensors output a voltage between 0 and 1.0 volts (usually .10 to .90), 0v - .45v for lean conditions, and .55v - 1.00v for rich conditions. Upstream sensors are primarily used to adjust engine air and fuel flow, while downstream (of the catalytic converter) sensors are used to monitor the effect of the catalytic converter. Sensors do not usually run at constant voltages, rather oscillate rapidly (at least once every few seconds) in a nice sine wave. The frequency is referred to as switching frequency, or as switches. The rear sensor should display a much slower switching frequency than the front sensor, the difference indicating the catalyst capability. These sensors are invaluable in the diagnostic effort, and can indicate conditions ranging from fuel delivery issues, vacuum leaks, to engine oil overfill conditions. Ford has an

page with lots of generally useful info, and some great Ford specific stuff.

Overheard in GenForum: Lost Woodworth Family
The fact that the records go back so far is a great benefit to researchers. However, determining where in the state to get records can sometimes be difficult when you don't know anything other than the fact that she was in Massachusetts.
Vital Records
Massachusetts is one of the few states that can trace the recording of its vital records back to the 1600s. And of all the states, it appears to have the best record of continuously recording the births, marriages, and deaths of its residents.
While they probably had a similar reason and just thought of it earlier, vital records in most states were not recorded until they felt a need for them. In most states, you will find that marriage records trace back further than the births and deaths.
Marriage records were important when the husband died, so that the wife could prove her relationship to the deceased. This was necessary during probate so that the widow could claim her right of dower. As states began to grow, they became concerned with statistics to help track things like cause of death and the number of births in a given year. However, most states didn't have the recording of these records in place already, so they would begin to record them when they decided to track this type of information.
Massachusetts' towns have recorded births, marriages, and deaths since the beginning of each town. Some of these records have been published either in one of the various genealogical periodicals for the area or in a book. They have also recently begun to appear on CD-ROM.
Published Vital Records
Approximately 220 towns in Massachusetts have had their vital records published up to about 1850. This publishing has been undertaken by individuals, some of the societies in the state and the state itself. There is a bounty of vital records. However, again, if you do not know the town where your ancestor was from, it is a daunting task to think you must search all of these volumes. And then to realize that they are only about half of the towns, which means there are still more towns to search.
These published volumes can be found in genealogy libraries, such as the Family History Library, along with selected public libraries with genealogical departments. As was mentioned, a number of these published volumes are now on CD-ROM. This does help as the CD-ROMs, available through Search & Research Publishing Corporation, tend to group the towns together by county. And you can then do a search of the CD and find all entries for the county.
The published volumes have also found themselves extracted to the International Genealogical Index available at the Family History Library and local Family History Centers as well as at the online site, FamilySearch.org.
Vital Records Beyond 1850
While the above records will prove useful to you once you have determined the names of Mabel's parents, to start with you will need to turn your attention to those records from the Division of Vital Statistics for the state of Massachusetts. Those prior to 1900 have been moved to the state archives, but you can also find them on microfilm through the Family History Library and therefore at your local Family History Center.
The microfilmed records actually overlap those of the published records
These records also have a statewide index. The indexes go up through 1905 for births and marriages and through 1971 for deaths. They are arranged alphabetically in five-year increments. You would need to order two reels of microfilm to cover the births of all the children. Then once you have gone through the index, you would then need to order the appropriate volumes to see what information can be found for each birth record. At the very least, you should be able to pick up the full names for the parents.
In Conclusion
You had mentioned the census as a possible aid, and that is definitely something you should look at. The 1880 census, which is soundexed for families with children 10 and under will give you some information about the family unit as it was at that point. The census would also give you an indication as to where in Massachusetts the family was settled.The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Genealogy, now in its second edition.

Wait. If I take my own bags to the Giant, which I've been doing for years, I get a nickel off my total for each bag. That does not help the Anacostia. If I do NOT take bags to the Giant, I am charged a 'tax' of 5 cents per bag, most of which goes to the rescue of the Anacostia. I've decided not to work so hard to take bags to the Giant, because I WANT to help the Anacostia. It seems, though, that this is a roundabout way of doing a public good. Isn't it in the best interests of ALL of us to clean up the Anacostia? Then shouldn't this 'fee' be a tax on all of us?

The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 might be a new performance bargain if reports of its pricing prove accurate. The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 will bring to the table more than 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, plus a very reasonable $52,995 price tag.
For World AIDS Day today, Subaru and desigerner Guerra have teamed up to create a special 2015 Subaru Legacy that's limited to an edition of one. The World AIDS Day partnership between the two is a natural because of the HIV/AIDS activism both parties have worked on in the past.
Both Tesla and BMW have come up with their own models of electric cars and approached the market differently but their paths may eventually converge.

Few events attract as much attention as track and field. In my opinion, the Olympics revolves around the athletics and everyone gets excited when it starts. You can sense the excitement in the air in all of the previous Olympics, and this year was no different.
It's quite ironic that, although I enjoy watching the athletics, I don't enjoy running. Just to clarify, I do enjoy sports which involve running after a ball e.g. football, tennis, basketball, etc. but the idea of running around the track did not appeal to me when I was younger.
This year, the track and field has been terrific. The Jamaicans are once again the fastest in the world, with Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake breezing through to take gold and silver respectively in both the 100m and 200m. Hot on their heels in the 200m was new boy, Warren Weir, who secured bronze with a promising future ahead of him. Success for Jamaica was mirrored in the women's 100m, with Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce and Veronica Campbell-Brown picking up gold and bronze respectively.
Jessica Ennis, the poster girl for Team GB in this year's Olympics, stunned the crowd and stormed through the leader board with a gold medal in the heptathlon. What really helped was the fantastic support of the home crowd, who helped to ignite the atmosphere in the stadium, making the event even more electrifying.
Ennis may have been the face of Team GB, but it's not without hard work and determination, plus a few heart aches along the way. Back in 2008, Ennis suffered a fractured ankle which, not only meant missing the Beijing Olympics, but also threatened to end her career. She fought back with a two-year unbeaten streak from 2009, becoming Britain's first ever European junior heptathlon champion in the 2009 IAAF World Championship, and secured an MBE in 2011, before winning gold in style at this year's Olympics. As well as being a humble person, she's an inspiration and a role model for all young athletes to look up to.
For me, gymnastics is another event which stands out during the Olympics. It has been a brilliant year for Team GB with China, Japan, Russia and USA all performing brilliantly too. I have also really enjoyed watching the rowing, cycling, swimming and volleyball too, which were all entertaining to watch.
Watching Sir Steven Redgrave helping the exhausted Alan Campbell and Mark Hunter to their feet in order to collect their medals after finishing their respective rowing races was an emotional sight. It just shows the blood, sweat and tears that these athletes put themselves through to perform at the highest level.

EPA's Region 6 Office
Serving: Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and 66 Tribal Nations
Region 6 CAFO Program
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are agricultural operations where animals are kept and raised in confined situations. Manure and wastewater from CAFOs have the potential to contribute pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus, organic matter, sediment, pathogens, heavy metals, hormones, antibiotics, and ammonia to the environment. Animal waste can enter water bodies from spills or breaks of waste storage structures, due to accidents or excessive rain, and non-agricultural application of manure to crop land.
The NPDES program regulates the discharge of pollutants from CAFOs to waters of the United States. EPA Region 6 directly implements the CAFO program in Oklahoma and New Mexico. The states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas have been authorized by EPA to implement the CAFO program in their respective states. EPA acts in an oversight and technical assistance role for these state programs.
For information concerning compliance assurance and enforcement of federal CAFO regulations in Region 6, please contact Dr. Abu Senkayi, EPA Region 6 Compliance Assurance and Enforcement Division, at (214) 665-8403 or visit the Region 6 Water Enforcement CAFO webpage.

[Translate] When I hear someone say "blood oranges", I am immediately whisked away to my time in Lugano and my many trips over the border into Italy. They have a perfume like no other and I loved having a tall freshly squeezed glass of the beautiful blood red juice. As I drank the sweet and tangy glass of nectar, I thought about the blue waters of Sicily. So when I made my weekly trip to my local organic farm shop and saw a crate full of blood oranges, my heart burst with joy. "Where are these from?", I asked the green grocer.

Goose with Shallots and Clementines

[Translate] The hot weather does not inspire me to stay in the kitchen very long, so I have been making light, quick meals for dinner, and Mr. BT has been making nice big salads that include the home-grown lettuce of which he is very proud. This past Shabbat, I made a lovely fish dinner with salmon in an Asian citrus sauce over soba noodles. I served it with steamed asparagus and sauteed mushrooms. Soba noodles are made from buckwheat flour, which is wheat-free and gluten free, and can be served hot or cold. The Bretons make crepes with the flour and the Russians make Blini.

I also enjoy making my own ice cream and sorbet at home, which I have blogged in several posts here.

Comfort Food – Cream of Cauliflower Soup
[Translate] Even though it is December and it should be raining in Israel, winter hasn't really begun.

Integrating Print And Online
Rodale announced today that they're making some big changes in their org charts. Namely, by giving individual publishers their own dedicated online sales staff while simultaneously training print staff to sell online.
They're also reassigning online editors to their respective editors in chief—this is particularly interesting to me because it puts online content control squarely in the hands of a magazine's editor. It eliminates the content divide that separates the two editorial realms. At the end of the day, if you've got enough editorial staff to rationally support the operation via print and online, why not unite the vision under one content and policy guru? In Rodale's case this seems to be not just the editor in chief but also a brand editor assigned to oversee brand initiatives across the entire media platform.

Hemingway biopic going to big screen
By Jessica Schneider Feb 4, 2009, 17:35 GMT
What else could be more fun to watch than the story of a man who writes and drinks all day and eventually shoots himself? You got it. A film based on the life of Ernest Hemingway.
Reuters reports that the best selling memoir Papa Hemingway: A Personal Memoir by A.E. Hotchner will be the basis for the film.
The article reports: The Gotham Group, a management and production company, and producer Kevin Fortuna have secured rights to Hotchner's New York Times best-seller. The book explores the last 14 years of the Nobel Prize-winning author's life, during which he was close friends with Hotchner, now 88.
Published by Random House, the book first appeared in 1966.

Home Lighting for Less
Follow these seven smart strategies to brighten your abode on a budget
By Elizabeth Roehrig
Layer Lighting
When there are many different sources of light in a room—ceiling fixtures, wall sconces, table lamps—you can control the exact amount of energy you need at any given time. Using a single-bulb lamp to read instead of a four-bulb overhead fixture, for example, uses 75% less energy. Make sure you have at least three sources of light in spaces like the living room, where you do a variety of activities.

Going Public: Ennead Architects' Ovation-Worthy Renovation of the Public Theatre
Architectural historian Spiro Kostof described architecture as "the material theater of human activity," which makes renovating an actual performance space a daunting prospect (and possibly a meta-performance). Enter Ennead Architects, starring in the multi-year production of renovating New York's Public Theatre. We asked writer Marc Kristal to survey the project's latest stage.
The New York City landmark's new stoop and canopy at dusk. (All photos © Jeff Goldberg/Esto)
"This space has always been about community," says Patrick Willingham, executive director of The Public Theatre at Astor Place, the magisterial 19th-century Renaissance Revival building that, since the late 1960s, has served as a multi-stage venue for founding director Joseph Papp's vision of a new and groundbreaking American theatre. Architecturally, at least, that has never been more the case: the capstone of nearly two decades of renovation/restoration work, to the tune of $42 million, by Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek Partnership), the recently completed revivification of the structure's entry and lobby have dramatically expanded the Public's public component–making the place that brought you (among countless theatrical high-water marks) Hair, A Chorus Line, and The Normal Heart a crowd-pleaser in every sense.
Though Papp's intervention, in 1966, saved it from demolition, the building, at 425 Lafayette Street in Manhattan's East Village, was hardly insignificant. Completed in three phases (by three architects) between 1853 and 1881, it was commissioned by John Jacob Astor and served as the city's first free public library. In 1921, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society purchased the property and converted it into a shelter and all-purpose gathering place for newly arrived European Jews; the letters HIAS, in faded paint, are still visible on the northern elevation. Under Papp's supervision, architect Giorgio Cavaglieri carved out five theatres of varying sizes and configurations, home to some of the great productions of the last half-century. But the communal spaces remained less than stellar: during the HIAS years, the original grand entry podium was lost, replaced by an interior stair that consumed 30 percent of the lobby. And subsequent to Papp's original renovation, the structure received almost no upgrading until Ennead began substantive work in the mid-nineties.
Without, project architect Stephen Chu, along with design counsel James Polshek and management partner Duncan Hazard, restored the original auspicious sense of arrival with a three-sided grand stair, measuring seventeen by seventy feet and constructed from solid blocks of black granite, protected by a new glass canopy. In addition to extracting the steps from the lobby and enabling theatre patrons to enter at the original level of the three arched front doors, the new stoop serves as a welcome outdoor destination on a street previously lacking one, a magnetized urban gathering place akin to the monumental stairs in front of the Metropolitan Museum on Fifth Avenue (though less imposing and more boho).

Oddsmakers Split On Super Bowl
Get Breaking News First
Sports Fan Insider
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas oddsmakers seem to believe this Super Bowl is one of the most evenly matched ever.
Bettors seemed to favor the Denver Broncos early, though, and sports books on the Las Vegas Strip quickly adjusted their lines to make Denver anywhere from pick 'em to a 2-point favorite to win the title game.
Some sports books made the Seattle Seahawks favorites while others put up lines favoring the Broncos in a rare split for a game that could be the most bet ever. Still others played it down the middle.
Bettors quickly lined up to back their opinions with money. At the South Point hotel's sports book, a bettor put $25,000 on the Broncos within minutes of the end of Sunday's second game, moving the line from pick'em to the Broncos favored by one.

I'm a Skinny Yogi, I'm a Real Woman & I'm Not Anorexic.
Okay, real women have curves—it's true. Most people aren't going to argue with that.
We nearly all have breasts—whether small or extra-large—and we all have hips, rear ends, etc, etc, but you know what? I barely weigh a buck-fifteen—and that's okay.
Because real women are sometimes thin too.
And real women have skin folds and stretch marks and yada yada yada.
I am so sick of women arguing over whether "real" women are heavy or tiny.
Here's the deal: I was watching Disney's Beauty and the Beast with my daughter earlier and let me just say that I'll admit to being annoyed.
Not slightly annoyed or mildly agitated but Belle was full-on giving me a headache—and I'm alright with princesses. I'm down with glass slippers and temporary comas. Still, there's only so much that a lady can take.
Example: Belle is "different" and "a most peculiar mademoiselle"—because she reads.
The future princess is a bookworm and that makes her a unique female. Um, okay. Moving on.
Belle is also traditionally beautiful (read: traditionally slender).
In short, I watch movies and read books with my toddler and obviously I notice that there's a stereotypical look for women to have. For Godsakes, I remember reading Seventeen magazine and thinking that the girls were gorgeous—and I proceeded to be anorexic for years to follow.
So, yeah, I'm a skinny yogi and I'm not anorexic—now. But I used to be, and let me tell you that judging women by appearances is never okay, be it small or large.
Because not all women are overweight. I'm sorry but we're not. Simple fact.
And not all ladies that practice yoga are either two ends of an opposing spectrum—anorexic and teensy or overweight and "normal." And since when was the opposite of starving yourself being obese?
You know, I'm expecting a lot of horrid responses from this—I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the barrage. Yet the thing is, why is it acceptable to degrade women of smaller proportions—calling them eating disordered and, essentially, not even "real" women—and it's not okay to simply say that women come in all shapes and sizes, including but not limited to extra small?
And here's the deal too: yes, I used to be anorexic—but that was an emotional problem. It had nothing to do, really, with my shape or size. It had to do with not wanting to own my emotions and deal with becoming a woman—because women do have curves.
Real women do have butts and breasts and maybe even little rolls in their armpits. We also have responsibilities, feelings, thoughts and dreams and it's not always easy to grow up. At the same time, just because your parts are bigger than mine doesn't mean you're healthier, more of a grown woman or better in any way—just like I'm not better either.
And women will not stop being criticized, compared or defined until we stop defining ourselves first.
So, go ahead: own your curves and your real-woman ass. It's awesome—for real. I, too, am fabulous with my miniature bosom and scrawny arms—and I'm still strong. You are too.
Muscles, skin, bones, fat—they make up both of us, regardless of what size jeans and bras we wear.
So, yes, please, rock on with your bad self—I will also. I work hard to feel good about who I am, inside and out, and I know you do too.
I'm merely offering that we consider that the opposite of a "real" woman isn't necessarily a skinny one.
No, come to think of it, the opposite of a real woman is a phony one—and I'm being genuine in my body, like you are in yours.
And let's agree to disagree, or better still, let's agree that a woman isn't determined by something as inconsequential as facts—and figures.

I agree with you. But I have a few thoughts about why some women fear thin women, and even though I wish this wasn't the case (because it would be amazing if we were all enlightened in the arena of body love)…I think it makes sense. I think that as long as comparing and self-denigration are around, women are going to feel superior/inferior to one another in order to mediate shame and discomfort (which is kind of what you said, and I agree ☺). The best thing we can do in the face of women harming other women is to spread the word of love: acceptance and loving-kindness to ourselves and to others. And I think that is what you are doing when you write an article like the one above. It's very honest. What I understand from my personal experience with women who have eating disorders is that some women (who also happen to meet societal standards for beauty – i.e. thin) do sometimes hide behind culturally supported excuses (e.g. health) in order to deny that they have eating disorders. Some don't, but some do. Most women I know do not do this in order to punish other women into believing that a thin ideal is superior, that's just the sad by-product of the situation. On the other hand, some women do get something out of their "superior" body causing an inferiorating (is that a word?) effect because it makes up for their own shame. I'll explain…they push themselves to become as close to their personal approximation of what a "perfect body" means and looks like, and then they use it as a battle sheild to compensate for their shame (shame that comes from family, society, trauma, the shame/pain list is endless…). Putting a body image (ones own or another type) on a pedestal is not a compassionate thing to do to oneself or another, but it is an undeniable part of an eating disorder. It's a numbing mechanism, it's a shadow, it's a part of a process, but it doesn't make them any less deserving of love and compassion. I've known several women who struggle with this very thing and I have felt honored to be in the presence of witnessing them own that they struggle with narcissism. Its much easier to say that you struggle with an eating disorder and shame than it is to say that you struggle with an eating disorder and narcissism, because people aren't willing to be very compassionate about the latter! People are uncomfortable with women who are in this stage of their emotional growth because they use societal beauty norms as a shield, and that's threatening to others. And when the masses are afraid, they generalize. It's a rule (sort of). So…then if you physically happen to meet beauty-norm standards, and you're faced with someone who has grown up in relationship to someone who struggled with narcissism and an eating disorder, then you might assume that other thin women are narcissistic. Which is totally not fair, but since humans learn through association…its actually quite (disappointingly) natural for the person to believe such a thing. But it depends on the life experience of who is looking/judging, and the state of their awareness about what it means to collude with one's own judgments, and the state of their willingness to be in the presence of various forms of human pain (shame/narcissism) without being reactive to those forms and calling them good or bad.
So I have one more thing…eating disorders do have to do with emotional dysregulation…unsafe emotions…and attachment, and family systems, and dissociation…and the body. We just like to think (once we know the ED is rooted in having to do with emotions) that it doesn't have as much to do with the body image because society still stigmatizes eating disorders as being superficial. And that angers us because to live in one is anything but superficial, it is profoundly painful. But, part of having an eating disorder is being addicted to ruminating about the way the body feels and appears (etc.) because the profound is too murky and painful to touch, and then once we've worked through it, sometimes we don't want to own that parts of us went to that superficial place. But its true. I really believe its true and its deserving of compassion and acceptance. The body becomes a mask instead of a sacred place of living and growing, and you can't process the pain that comes with recovery and then say that you never used your body as a mask in the first place. Or that the body-mask-using wasn't a horribly painful part of the process. It has very much to do with the body, its entirely embodied. The parts of the self who long for whatever physical form they needed (perhaps even superficial and all) were relevant in the process of coming out of an eating disorder, and its not real to say that they were not as significant. And this makes yoga such a healing practice, because a yoga practice can command body love and awareness.
You lost me when you said you were anorexic. Sorry but obviously you are not the role model for saying skinny is good. My sister is skinny yet she never had an eating disorder.
I respect the fact that you overcame your obstacle but I really don't think it's your place to right an article like this.
Why does it suddenly discredit her because she used to be anorexic? I don't understand. She didn't say skinny was good, that wasn't the point of this whole article, maybe if you had gotten past the anorexic part…. The whole point is that people need to stop shaming women if they don't fit into one category. Overweight and underweight women. Why is it okay to slam thin people and say they're too skinny, but if I were to start making fat comments about a woman it would be unthinkable. Same shit, different pile. We're being discriminated against for how we look. Her recovery from anorexia has more to do with her realizing this fact, that we are beautiful the way we are. That we don't need to try and be fitter or fatter. That's real liberation.
We never know the journey that others are on.
Some are skinny and try to put on weight, some are fat and try to lose weight. Some don't worry about it. You can be skinny and healthy and (contrary to popular opinion) you can be fat and healthy. We need to nourish our bodies, so food is something that we cannot kick (unlike drugs). We can punish our bodies by not feeding them, or try to console ourselves with comfort food. But we can also be naturally on the skinny side or naturally on the fat side. (I am 5'9 and a UK size 16, so very overweight, but also eat a healthy diet and have a daily yoga practise – I have beaten bulimia/anorexia, but had already ruined my metabolism, and have a constant struggle with how I feel about my body. Shame that I have wasted so much energy – and still do – on something so superficial, when my body has generally served me and my three children well! It would help to not be judged constantly and if I could buy yoga or fitness clothes that were not too tight when marked XL. At either end of the spectrum it is as if our bodies are public property!)
The body that we have in this lifetime is just for this lifetime, it is just a vehicle for us to pursue our lives in.
Congratulations on finding yourself coming out the other side of your anorexic stage. Well done for making the point that neither end of the spectrum needs judgment, just acceptance.
May your vehicle serve you well!
Om Shanti
