Deliver Me From Evil
Rhyse Skelton, a Science student at Monash University has been interested in spiritual things from a young age. His interest came through the influence of his mother: "Mum is very spiritual and [believes] in re-incarnation and practices Reiki; it is a Buddhist form of palm healing as a way to transfer healing energy through the hands."
When he was twelve, he attended a Reiki course which ended more frightening and dispruptive than healing, "I started getting really weird dreams after using Reiki. I seem to invite the worse kind of things into my life and for a while I got into all sorts of trouble at school. My dreams started getting very violent--dreams of killing people."
Purposeful Surrender
Hong-An Thai, a student enrolled in Psychology and Law, was literally lost when she first came in contact with Student Life, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ Australia. Hong-An was looking for a building in the maze of Macquarie University when she asked Ian Finnan, a Student Life missionary, for directions.
Hong-An became a Christian just two weeks before starting uni and was hungry to know more about her new Christian faith. During the conversation with Ian she agreed to do a six week Christianity Explained course. Ian put her in contact with another missionary for the course, and she found it helped her understand the claims of Jesus, how they applied to her life, and how to know Jesus personally.
The Ecstasy of Christ
When Sam Burtt attended his first week of uni, he was not looking for a Christian group, in fact it was not on his radar at all.
Raised in a Christian family, he routinely went to Sunday School and youth group. However, when he started high school, he questioned the reality of God. By year 12 he was less interested in church, starting on a destructive path fuelled by the approval of friends and lust of the world.
Relief Floods
Brisbane experienced a nightmare, and as usual Australia's world-renowned mate-ship kicked in to respond.
On 10 January, after weeks of non-stop rain, the arteries of Queensland's waterways burst. A flash flood claimed 35 lives, forced the evacuation of thousands, and swept away cities and farms. In just a few days, the damage rose into the billions with the worst flooding in more than 100 years. More than 40,000 properties were damaged.
Jesus In A Bucket Of Chicken
Born and raised in India's mixed religious culture, Rakesh Kumar was taught everyone's god is right. It diminished his desire to seek God. When his family took him to the temple, he would ask how anyone could know that the Hindu gods were there. He never got a straight answer. Eventually he was driven toward atheism.

some updates on the incident, if you guys care to know. sources are in chinese.
a train rider confirmed that operator of the second train apparently did his best to brake the train manually. (source: http://roll.sohu.com/20110724/n314348071.shtml). according to a microblog, the operator was found in the badly deformed cockpit, impaled by the brake lever.

On June 23, the Steps Ahead dancers from Ozone Park graced the stage at Queensborough Community College for their annual dance recital "DanceScape." Once again the show was a huge success.
The amazing dancers showcased their well-crafted talents that could only be taught by the amazing staff at Steps Ahead Dance Studio, a staff that is both knowledgeable and nurturing. From the opening number "Bom Bom" to the closing "Feel Again," Steps Ahead Dance Studio once again showed that they have what it takes to be leaders in the dance community.
One highlight of the show was the Steps Ahead Dance Competition teams performing their spectacular award-winning numbers, reinforcing why they are headed to Maryland to compete in Star Power's National Dance Competition in July. Another highlight of any SADS recital is the nursery students. These adorable tiny dancers not only stole the show, but are also a true testament to how dedicated and talented our teachers are.
However, the major highlight of the show was a production number entitled "Feel Again." During this number, students and teachers wore a cause ribbon of their choosing that was near and dear to their hearts. The inspirational number not only entertained, it made people aware of all the issues that we face in today's world. This is just another indication of how the SADS dancers are well rounded performers who have poise, discipline, physical strength and confidence.
The show's finale is when SADS introduces their audience to the teachers and staff, and recognizes all students who have been accepted to performing arts schools. This year was no exception. Some of the SADS dancers and staff this year have been accepted to the following schools: LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts; Frank Sinatra School of the Arts; Mark Twain School for the Gifted and Talented; Long Island University (Dance Major); Marymount Manhattan College (Musical Theater Major); and Adelphi University (Dance Major). The show then ended with all of the Steps Ahead dancers, staff, and teachers on stage performing together this year to the song "Good Time."
As the curtain closed on another amazing year, the Steps Ahead family is already hard at work planning another great dance season. For more information contact Steps Ahead Dance Studio, 90-55 Desarc Road, Ozone Park, 1 (718) 641-2005, or visit us on the web at stepsaheaddance.net.

Maintenance + Renovation
A Florida contractor must answer federal citations involving the electrocution of a Hispanic drywall worker, although the worker was paid in cash and the contractor denied knowing him.
Although Nathalie Monroe, president of Monroe Drywall Construction (MDC), claimed that her company "had no employees at the [work] site [where the death occurred] and that the individual who died was not its employee," the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission has found otherwise.
In a decision April 19, the commission overturned a November 2012 ruling by Administrative Law Judge Stephen J. Simko Jr. Simko had ruled that the victim had not been Monroe's employee and that she was thus not liable for two safety citations issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration after his death.
The victim was part of a four-man drywall crew working to renovate a commercial space (not pictured) when he was electrocuted.
The case offers a detailed look into the underground economy of commercial subcontracting.
Job Site Electrocution
The drywall worker was electrocuted about 9 a.m. Sept. 27, 2011, when he came in contact with wiring that was protruding from conduit at a large commercial space that was being remodeled in Panama City, FL. The victim was one of four Hispanic workers hanging and finishing drywall at the site.
MDC, also located in Panama City, was a subcontractor for GMB Construction Services (GMB), which itself had contracted with a general contractor, The Hatch Group, to do framing and drywall work. The framing work went to another subcontractor, and GMB hired MDC to hang and finish the drywall. There was also an electrical contractor on site.
Monroe personally worked at the site but was not there at the time of the accident. She arrived after the victim was removed from the scene.
Monroe told police at the scene "that she did not know the deceased worker and that he did not work for her," according to the commission.
No Worker's Comp, Cash Payments
GMB barred MDC from the site after the accident. MDC did not carry worker's compensation coverage, but Monroe contended that the company was exempt from the requirement because she and her husband did all of the work themselves, without employees.
The drywall workers said they were paid in cash. The company's owner denied knowing the worker who was killed and said she had not hired him.
The day after the accident, Monroe met an OSHA Compliance Officer at the site and "told him she felt it was unfair for her to be barred from the site for not having worker compensation coverage as the deceased worker was not her employee."
Both the general contractor and the owner of GMB told the OSHA officer that the drywall work was exclusively the job of MDC and that the drywall workers were Monroe's employees. Monroe told OSHA that the drywallers worked for GMB.
Two of the drywallers, however, told the OSHA officer that they worked for Monroe. One worker spoke in English; the other, in Spanish, using a translator. The English-speaking worker said he "reported his hours, and those of the other drywall hangers, to Monroe, who paid all of them in cash," according to the commission's ruling
'Avoiding Liability'
Simko, the judge, had dismissed the workers' statements as hearsay, even though MDC itself did not object to them as such, the commission found. (Indeed, later in the process, Monroe admitted that she had known the worker who died and had worked with him in the past, but said she had not hired him for that job.)
The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission is an independent federal agency that reviews and adjudicates OSHA decisions.
Since MDC had not challenged the statements, the judge should have accepted them, the commission said.
The judge had also rejected the testimony of the GC and GMB, saying that they could have been trying to avoid their own responsibilities.
But the commission said Monroe had had the same motivation—"she, too, had an interest in avoiding liability," the panel found. The GC, meanwhile, had no vested interest in identifying one subcontractor rather than the other as the men's employer, the commission said.
Finally, the commission said, both GMB's written agreement with MDC and MDC's written invoice for the work show that MDC was solely responsible for the drywall work.
All of that is more than enough, the commission said, to have MDC face up to its citations.
The citations allege that the employer failed to:
The substance of those violations will be decided next in the regular OSHA process.
Comment from Bill Connor, Jr., (5/1/2013, 2:59 AM)
Monroe should be responsible for the employee and should have had them covered by Worker's Comp but the electrical contractor was in error here. At no time should any worker be exposed to an energized circuit except the electricians who should be trained for this type of work.

I hunt in Brady Texas and caught a chinchilla in my rabbit trap and hadn't ever seen one before. So now I want to go on a chinchilla hunt because it looked fun. Does anyone know were I can go to shoot some? And the prices?

Chinchillas are crepuscular rodents, slightly larger and more robust than ground squirrels, and are native to the Andes mountains in South America. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they make up the family Chinchillidae.
Are you sure it was a Chinchilla ?
When all else fails.
Pictures? ........
I don't have any pics but I'm starting to think it's a viscacha. There is no way a pet chinchilla because I trap on 60 acres which is right beside 4 other ranches with a 100 plus acres.
Chupacabra, they got them in Texas.
I was thinking, maybe it was a Jackalope. It's antlers didn't grow in yet.
Ain't vicachas supposed to have fluffy tails? This thing looked exactly like a viscacha except it had a possum tail.
If it is what you think it is, its worth more alive than dead... Unless it was a pet and has been spayed or neuteured. The same goes for otters, the females bring in a hefty price from those that breed animals for there fur....
For ever Vigilant..... One Shot One Kill.........

First Date Fashion Faux Pas
Go for Slutty-Chic. While desirability certainly impresses a man, it's not necessarily the best date tactic to flaunt everything you've got. Stereotypes and judgments suck, of course, but they're part of our daily reality—so keep your cards close in the beginning. Even though you know that your big intellect can coexist with your high heels and minidress, your naive date may think the outfit represents something less flattering, like desperation or promiscuity. And those interpretations can dissuade a guy. "I like to get a sense of a woman's figure by what she's wearing," says Eric, a musician, "but I get turned off if they wear something too attention grabbing." Also, guys are imaginative creatures (after all, when was the last time you played fantasy baseball?), so leaving them with something to dream up—like what your lolas will look once he does get to see them—can only enhance your next encounter.
Play Hot for Teacher (unless you are one). Tina Fey, the self-proclaimed "librarian-sexy" star of Thirty Rock manages to achieve an enviable blend of brainy and beautiful, it's true—but that look is a tough one to rock. You probably are brainy and beautiful (aren't we all?), but eschew the too-obvious indicators of intellectual seriousness, like reading glasses, high-necked blouses, and formless clothing. Witty conversation and references to an impressive resume are sexier ways to convey your smarts.
Dress Like Someone You Aren't. At the end of the day, what really matters is that your style represents what you've got going on inside. "Outfits are like icing," says Cole. "It's part of the package, but it's the cake that really matters. If the cake ain't good, the icing ain't gonna make or break it." If you aren't a 'ho,' then don't try to entice him by dressing like one. If you aren't frilly and feminine, forgo the sundress. Clothing is the visual manifestation of our personality, confidence, and style—steer clear of outfits that imply buttercream when on the inside you're pure red velvet.

ZonesCorp CEO Mohamed H Al Qemzi on delivering industrial growth in Abu Dhabi
What new initiatives and developments are currently underway at ZonesCorp?
AL QEMZI: From its inception in 2004 until today, ZonesCorp has managed to develop around 50 km sq of specialized economic zones tailored for the industrial sector. Today, ZonesCorp is considered to be the largest purposed zone in UAE tailored for the industrial sector and that's something we are very proud of in Abu Dhabi and in the UAE. Our initiative is not going to stop here. We have some more things coming in the pipeline. We are looking forward to the development of further industrial cities in the Western Region. We're talking about 16 km sq of land that will be developed in the near future, tailored to serve the Western Region based on Abu Dhabi Vision 2030. The Western Region is a very important area in Abu Dhabi and the industrial sector will play a bigger role over there
ZonesCorp is not going to stop here. We believe in 2020, ZonesCorp's land will be expanded up 100 km2, in line with the vision of Abu Dhabi 2030, where the industrial sector will play a bigger role and ZonesCorp is a leader in that role, in operating industrial zones. We're going to be reaching that target based on a studied road map we have come out with, the Abu Dhabi industrial strategy vision. The 100 km sq is already in the pipeline. We know exactly what we are planning to do. We have an Auto City development in an area of 6.9 km sq. We also have in the future, in line with the Etihad Railway, the creation of the ZonesCorp Logistics Centre in an area of 8 km sq. We are building the value chain, supporting the industrial sector, and coming in with these initiatives in our zones.
How does ZonesCorp fit into the overall industrial infrastructure in Abu Dhabi? In what ways do you work together with KIZAD, Etihad Rail, and other industrial sector stakeholders?
AL QEMZI: All the entities, ZonesCorp, KIZAD, Etihad Rail, our aim is to serve Abu Dhabi to the best mandate being given to us. There is a very strong level of collaboration between all of us. We talk about the ZonesCorp Logistics Centre in ICAD IV, which will be a main hub for Etihad Rail. We talk about our colleagues in KIZAD; we are working together to diversify the industries between us. There are industrials coming to us, there are some investors coming that are keen to have access to seaport operations. We direct those investors to go toward KIZAD. Likewise in KIZAD, there are investors looking forward to having a closer distance to Abu Dhabi city and other anchor operations within our zones, such as Emirates Steel. They divert such investment or investors toward us. So there is collaboration between us, both of us, and all other stakeholders that are related to the industrial sector. There is harmony; there is integration and a way forward. At the end, it's Abu Dhabi that we are working for.
How successful has ZonesCorp, and Abu Dhabi in general, been at developing clusters and creating downstream activity around anchor industries?
AL QEMZI: The clustering approach that ZonesCorp implemented was based on the environmental impact of that operation. If we talk about a real clustering approach, that would require heavy investment in the beginning, which is not our approach, not our execution. When we execute, or we say when we create a cluster based on the environment impact of that operation existing, we manage to do so by doing that approach. We've managed, every year from 2011 until today, to lease land of around 2 km sq every year, and that helps. We are also shifting toward the eco-friendly operations. The knowledge, the base of understanding and the proper, real, industrial contribution or added value to the economy, is now becoming very clear to the investors themselves. This is also part of the strategy of Abu Dhabi.
We have managed to create those clusters. We managed to create the value chain around the existing anchor investors, for example Emirate Steel. We managed to gather any operation related to the steel sector in ZonesCorp, and we believe this is a very beautiful model we can continue moving forward on, and that will help us down the road. When you look at ZonesCorp's master plan, you will see there's clustering based on the environment, where any investor, when he comes, he knows his land and his operations will not be impacted by the neighbour's operation. We believe, even though the government of Abu Dhabi has always been very sincere toward environment related issues, that we also play a very important role in that because as much as we do contribute to the economy, also we need to contribute to our environment and to protect it and save it for the future.
What is your future outlook for industrial development in Abu Dhabi and for the continued growth and expansion of ZonesCorp?
AL QEMZI: Our future expansion is in line with the strategy of Abu Dhabi 2030, where the industrial sector plays a bigger role in achieving that vision. Our aim is to contribute to the economy. Our aim is to create jobs within Abu Dhabi and we are not doing this by ourselves. There is synergy today between all the stakeholders to that vision and, being part of it under the umbrella of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, we have a very clear understanding of where we are going. We are not working in silos. No more silos. Communication is there, doors are open, and we are an open book with each other. We try to find where there is a problem and as a whole team we go and solve it. Once we solve it, that will be used as a test case approach and we can solve other problems with it.
We've managed to do so. I remember, 4 years ago or 3 years ago, an application for locating land would take you 365 days, one year. Gradually we discounted that number of days. In 2012, we reached 50 days. Today, we can say we have reached 20 days. We did not do this by ourselves. We managed to do this with other stakeholders, with our partners, and other government entities, because our aim is to see how we can really give the support to the investor. No complications, no barriers, that's our job. So that tells us we are going in the right direction. First of all, we have to look at what we have. If this needs some correction or it needs some modification, we do it. We don't just stick to one thing, no. We have to keep evolving, we have to keep being creative towards giving the best service to our investor and we have managed over the last three years to learn so much by doing so. There isn't something called an answer "No". There is always an option, and that's what our managers give to our investor when he approaches us, even for land. It's not just here's one piece of land and stick with it, no. He's given options to see what fits his requirements. We're giving him the choice to choose it. So by reaching this level we're not finishing here. No, actually there are so many things we can still do.
So what I see for ZonesCorp down the road, what we have achieved today is only the beginning. Where we are going is not only to be the largest purposed zone for the industrial sector. We're aiming to be a benchmark within the region as the preferred choice for the industrial sector, for any investor coming to the UAE to look at the preferred choice to be ZonesCorp, for services, transparency, ease of doing business, and the most important thing, the sustainability of having an investment and the growth that he will manage to have when he comes to ZonesCorp and Abu Dhabi.

Buzhardt's BellaOnline Baseball Blast 07/04/10
Happy 234th birthday to the USA! Welcome to another edition of Buzhardts BellaOnline Baseball Blast. Its not just Independence Day, it is also Selection Sunday, when the 68 players who will participate in the 2010 All-Star in Anaheim on Tuesday, July 14. As I write this, TBS in unveiling the rosters. Were there any surprises among the starters? Not really. With 34 spots on the rosters this year, there is much less likelihood of worthy players being left off, frequently the case when the representative-from-every-team rule was in place and the rosters were smaller.
The players had their say and when their choices didnt match up the fans that worked out OK with the larger rosters. Plus, the players also picked five starters and three relievers. AL Manager Joe Girardi of the New York Yankees and NL Manager Charlie Manuel of the Philadelphia Phillies (with suits from MLB HQ looking over their shoulders) each picked five more position players and five more pitchers, and another round of on-line balloting will determine The Final Vote for the last fan selections (one in each league), ending on Thursday July 8 at 4PM ET.
Youll have plenty of opportunities to view the rosters on line, on TV, and in print, so Im not going into details. In truth, this last week of play before next Sunday when baseball breaks for the All-Star Game could have long-lasting effects upon the pennant races yet to unfold. By next week this time, we will have a pretty good idea of whos going to contend, and whos going to start thinking about 2011.
The AL East is going to have a sizzling battle between the three teams many regard as the best in MLB, period. Meanwhile, in the AL Central the White Sox, picked by many to win the division (including me) have used a scintillating June to climb into their race with the Tigers and Twins. As for the AL West, the Rangers have the edge but the Angels are not yet put away despite several stretches of so-so play.
The Senior Circuit has its own surprises to offer: many expected the Braves to contend in the NL East, and they have outperformed so far with strong pitching and All-Star-worthy performances by Jason Heyward (on the DL so we wont see him), batting race leader Martin Prado and utility man Omar Infante. The Mets have rebounded strongly and are positioned to challenge in the second half, although what theyre going to do with Carlos Beltran when he returns is anybodys guess. The reigning NL champion Phillies have disappointed and been decimated by injuries; they could be dismissed with a bad week prior to the All-Star game, or they can regain their footing if they can handle the Braves in an important series this week.
In the NL Central, the upstart Reds and the perennial Cardinals will battle down to the wire (the Reds make a visit to Philly this week, too). And the NL West is going to have a terrific battle as the surprising Padres, the accustomed Dodgers and the surging Rockies contend with the San Francisco Giants not quite out of it yet.
Once the All-Star break is over, or maybe even before, we will be in full-on Trading Season, prior to the July 31 deadline. Who will be buying, and who will be selling? Will the Mariners trade their stalwart, Cliff Lee? He could be a difference maker down the stretch as he was last season when the Indians traded him to the Phillies. What other big names will change uniforms? Except for the last weeks of the season, this is most exciting and certainly the most speculative part of the year.

Rapper Lil' Kim should stop the nip-tucks, some plastic surgeons say.
See how she looked before and after
Big difference
When rapper Lil' Kim attended Rip the Runway 2012 in New York City recently (above), some people could hardly recognize her, and plastic surgeons started comparing notes.
Do you think she's gone too far?
Could she have body dysmorphic disorder -- making her imagine or exaggerate any natural flaws, as one cosmetic expert suggests, and seeing herself much differently than how others see her?
Click through our slide show and see the transformation and what plastic surgeons say.

And on hire feet a paire of spores sharpe.
In felaweshipe wel koude she laughe and carpe;
from Geoffrey Chaucer (Ft. Paul Strohm) – The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue on Genius
Lines 475-476 are pronounced with many long "a" and short "o" sounds, necessitating a wider opening of the mouth than other vowel sounds. This serves to reinforce the image presented in the second line, describing the wife's capacity for laughing and talking among a fellowship of people. The vowels echo the actions of laughing and talking, since it is common practice to open one's mouth when one is doing such things.
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit "The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue" by Geoffrey Chaucer (Ft. Paul Strohm) and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

Marketing: 77 Instant-Action Ideas to Boost Sales, Maximize Profits, and Crush Your Competiti... Editorial Reviews: SynopsisThe small-business guru behind Duct Tape Marketing and The Referral Engine teaches readers how to establish lasting commitment in their employees, customers, and businesses. Why are some companies able to generate committed, long-term customers while others struggle to stay afloat? Why do the employees of some organizations fully dedicate themselves while others punch the clock without enthusiasm? By studying the ins and outs of companies that enjoy extraordinary loyalty from customers and employees, John Jantsch reveals the systematic path to discovering and generating genuine commitment. Jantsch's approach is built on three foundational planks, which he calls the clarity path, the culture patron, and the customer promise. He draws on his own experiences and shares true stories from businesses like Threadless, Evernote, and Warby Parker. His strategies include these: Build your company around a purpose. People commit to companies and stories that have a simple, straightforward purpose. Understand that culture equals brand. Build your business as a brand that employees and customers will support. Lead by telling great stories. You can't attract the right people or get them to commit without telling a story about why you do what you do. Treat your staff as your customer. A healthy customer community is the natural result of a healthy internal culture. Serve customers you respect. It's hard to have an authentic relationship with people you don't know, like, or trust. As Jantsch says, "Have you ever encountered a business where everything felt effortless? The experience was perfect, and the products, people, and brand worked together gracefully. You made an odd request; it was greeted with a smile. You went to try a new feature; it was right where it should be. You walked in, sat down, and felt right at home. . . . Businesses that run so smoothly as to seem self-managed aren't normal. In fact, they are terribly counterintuitive, but terribly simple as it turns out." As a follow-up to The Referral Engine, this is about more than just establishing leads— it's about building a fully alive business that attracts customers for life.

text: Force India: We've been waiting for a result like this for a while 2 September, 2012 Sep.2 (Sahara Force India) The team enjoyed a strong showing in today's Belgian Grand Prix, as Nico Hulkenberg scored the best result of his career with fourth place. Paul Di Resta raced to tenth to bring the team a total of 13 points and help move the team up to seventh place in the constructors' championship. P4: Nico Hulkenberg (VJM05/03): Tyre strategy: New hard, new medium, new hard Nico: "I'm delighted with the result today – my best finish in Formula One. It's a result that the whole team has worked hard for and I want to say a huge 'thank you' to all the guys because everything went perfectly today. The start was eventful, but fortunately I avoided all the debris and was able to take advantage of the situation. I was up a high as second and for a while I was even thinking we could finish on the podium. But the race was tough; I had some great fights with Kimi and Michael, and I was always on the limit. For us it was clear that we had to stop twice and we made the strategy work. So I've got a big smile on my face today because it's just the result we needed for our fight in the championship." P10: Paul Di Resta (VJM05/02): Tyre strategy: Used medium, new hard, new hard Paul: "A tough race for me largely due to the KERS failure on the car just before the race, which really hurt my performance and speed on the straights. I couldn't really attack or defend, which is a shame because I was up to fourth place at the start, but we couldn't capitalise on it. I kept battling and tried my best to come away with the final point, but so much more was possible today." Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal & Managing Director: "Spa usually delivers drama and great racing, and today's Grand Prix was full of both. Nico drove a brilliant race to finish fourth on a day when it was important to capitalise on the first lap incident that befell some of our competitors. He stayed out of trouble and ran as high as second after the safety car and showed strong pace with a perfect two-stop strategy. We've been waiting for a result like this for a while and it's a great reward for Nico and the entire team. We could have scored even more points had Paul's race not been compromised by the KERS failure, and he did well to pick up a point today. The result is important for our fight in the constructors' championship because we have now moved ahead of Williams. We will try and carry this momentum into Monza next weekend." Subbed by AJN.

So, the 'in the works' page has declared that the Spectre will be available in march/april '09. I am really wondering if any plans have changed since the previous posts which were mostly made in '07. Has anyone heard anything from Jack on the subject? They reported that it didn't make it in '08 due to component delivery issues. Is anyone still waiting?

Microsoft Slimes Google with HoneyMonkey Nectar
Microsoft Slimes Google with HoneyMonkey Nectar
Nothing can be more satisfying for a software company than to use its technology to uncover a serious business problem that needs a solution, especially when it gives you a chance to discredit an arch-competitor.
That is the situation Microsoft took advantage of when it disclosed this week that its HoneyMonkey exploit detection technology showed how a typo-squatters ring was using misspelled domain names to steal traffic from major Internet brands including Amazon.com, Expedia.com (a Microsoft property) and MapQuest.com.
Its one of those supremely dirty, but certainly not little, secrets of the Internet that typo-squatters are using misspelled domain names to generate revenue by redirecting Web surfers to porn portals and other bogus sites stocked with Google AdSense adds.
The squatters receive revenue every time surfers click on those ads at these sites. But it is doubtful whether legitimate advertisers are getting any benefit from these ad clicks in terms of higher sales of products or services.
But as serious as this problem is for Web users and advertisers, Microsofts apparent motives for releasing the study results are hardly altruistic or for the good of the industry. They did it for the good of Microsoft.
It was no coincidence the Redmondians released the results of its HoneyMonkey study literally on the eve of the announcement that Time Warner Inc.s American Online division will continue using Googles advertising technology for another five years.
Microsoft was competing head to head with Google for this deal, which also gave Google the right to acquire a 5 percent share of AOL for $1 billion.
It looks like a desperate last-minute attempt to derail the deal by calling into question the integrity of Googles AdSense system.
It can hardly be a coincidence that Microsoft released the results of its HoneyMonkey study the day before Google was set to announce it had won the AOL deal.
Googles success in winning this deal has raised questions among industry analysts about whether Google has supplanted Microsoft as the premier technology innovator and deal maker in the computer business.
Certainly Microsoft hasnt lost many deals of this magnitude since it managed to whipsaw control of the PC operating system market from the hands of IBM.
Click here to read the details about Googles $1 billion advertising deal with AOL and Time Warner.
Microsofts timely HoneyMonkey exposé highlights the spiking intensity of the competition between these two very ambitious companies.
Just how intense its become can be seen from an incident, widely reported on the Web, about Microsoft CEO
It doesnt sit well with Microsoft that Google has become so dominant in search and is competing so vigorously to win a generous share of the e-mail, local search, instant messaging and online advertising markets.
Microsoft has grown used to dominating in any market it chooses to enter.
Next Page: Solving the real problem.
Solving the Real Problem
It is apparently galling to Microsoft that it wont be easy for it to knock Google from its position as the dominant search engine in the same way Microsoft took over other markets, from Web browsers to spreadsheets.
Instead, Google is proving to be a growth engine that looks very much like the youthful Microsoft when it began its relentless expansion trend in the 80s. Microsoft is finding it hard to win points from the nimble and aggressive Google.
So Microsoft does what it always does in these situations.
It shadows its adversary with its own announcements about Microsoft search, messaging and its recent Office Live and Windows Live offerings.
Regardless of Microsofts motives for producing the study, typo-squatting and the exploitation of Googles AdSense service are problems that need to be solved.
People should have confidence that they wont be transferred to pornography sites or other junk sites because they entered a single mistaken character in a Web address.
Web advertisers have a right to know that their ad dollars are bringing eyeballs to their own sites and helping sell products and not just enriching some scammer.
Click here to read what effect Googles deal with AOL could have on the competitive landscape in the instant messenger market.
If Google wants AdSense to be a long-term and lucrative success that is valued by advertisers for its integrity and effectiveness, it should put the companys considerable technological expertise toward solving this problem.
The public at large as well as advertisers are defrauded every time some stumble-fingered Web surfer is misdirected to some useless site that was created as a porn-portal or as an automated ad-revenue generation engine.
The Web should not be reduced to some electronic shell game by scammers who have nothing to sell and whose only asset is an incidental ability to generate revenue from random ad clicks.
Now that it has gone to considerable lengths to air Googles dirty linen, it would be interesting to see if Microsoft could engineer a search-driven online advertising system that would display any greater integrity than Googles AdSense.
Its quite possible that Microsoft would accept widespread misuse of advertising system if it could supplant Google as the dominant search engine.

"Second only to the book!"
I've seen or heard several renditions of Professor Tolkien's magnificent works and this one is, as I said, second only to the books themselves in more ways than I can count! The next best is the Rankin/Bass animated "Hobbit" and perhaps the Ralph Bakshee rendition of the first book and a half. I must say that the live-action movies take a poor third for the excessive liberties that were taken with the characters. The effort that Rankin/Bass made to complete Bakshee's work is utter trash! Thank heavens for "the Mind's Eye" who, I believe, first put these wonderful radio-plays on tape!

A Pre-nursing Student who believes...
- 0... that she will NEVER have to clean, feces, vomit, urine, blood, etc.! Here's what happened: So, today I was chatting with one of my fellow pre-nursing students while at school. I do not know this girl very well, in fact it was only the second time we spoke as we have no classes together. Today we strike up a conversation and I got a little bit of a squeamish vibe from her -- so I asked her "Have you given any thought to the fact that you will be cleaning bodily fluids, etc. and how do you feel about that?" She replied with this: "As an RN I will NEVER have to do that! That is what CNAs are for." So, I tried to explain to her that as far as I know and IMO EVERY RN has to do that at one time or another. She refuses to believe this and is convinced that I am wrong. Well, to all the nurses out there -- is there such a thing as a 'bodily fluid free' existence in nursing? I, personally, do NOT believe this and have already prepared myself (as much as one can w/o the actual experience) for having to do such things. Thoughts anyone??
- 16Apr 13, '11 by loriangel14 GuideShe is not going to be popular at clinicals. I work with nurses with BSNs and they still wipe poop.If you find it, you clean it. You don't go and find someone to do it for you.She is in for a shock.
- 38Apr 13, '11 by nurse simmyQuote from D1914But, unfortunately nursing school is not one of those positions.There are several non-bedside positions that do not involve bodily fluids.
- 2Apr 13, '11 by loriangel14 GuideHmmm bedside but not actually touch a patient?
- 18Quote from D1914I am hardly focused on her. My post was just to gather other peoples' opinion... as this is a forum.You should focus on finding a job post graduation and not on some silly student in your class.

I have never struggled so much as of lately on getting out of bed to get my workouts in. My alarm will go off and I will sit and argue with myself about how I can fit it in later in the day. Luckily I have stuck to my word and completed my workouts but it has sure made life more hectic!! I decided to sleep in 30 minutes extra today and thought I could still get my workout in and I did but I was running around the house like a chicken with my head cut off!! Not for me I like to take it slow in the mornings. So I have made the decision I'm turning my electric blanket on at night it is keeping me hostage in my bed in the mornings.
I have still been completing my workouts but they are rushed and not top notch like they should be. I have borrowed some of the videos from Turbo Fire from a friend and I love them!! My favorite is the 30 min HIIT video it gets me like no other workout I've ever done. I've had to do most of my runs on the treadmill just because it's so cold outside. My dedicated running group is still meeting but I just can't do it when the temperature is at zero!
I hope everyone has a great day and a great workout!
Well it was a whirlwind weekend but I'm so glad I'm on a plan because it really keeps me in check. Workouts were not what I really wanted this weekend but not to bad. Sunday I ran my first 10K ever and you can see from my previous post how that went . We went out of town on Saturday all day with my husbands team to Kansas City so eating out was off plan a little but no too bad. I just love this program and it has helped me so much. Today is an upper body day and I am doing this one tonight and I will blog later my plan.
Have a great Christmas week everyone!!!
Finished my first 10K today and I got 3rd in my age division. I was happy with that. I didn't finish as fast as I wanted to but overall I think I did good. My official time was 56.16.
I wasn't able to get my workout done this morning so I'm going to get it in after work today. I decided I'm going to do another run this evening to get more prepared for my 10K on Sunday. I'm just going to fun 3 miles though at a tempo pace.
Here is my lower body day-
Leg Press 90,100,110,120,100
Walking lunges 30
Seated leg curls 15,30,35,40,30
Hyperextensions 8 lb ball
Side lunges 8,10,12,15,10
Cable machine 3
40 reps 5 pound weight
I also finished in enough time to do 10 mins on the bike.
I had a great weigh in this morning and am down 1 1/2 pounds just from where I started at the beginning of the week. I know most is probably water weight but I still excited to get back to what I once was. FINALLY!!!
I will post my nutrition at the end of the day. It will be higher today. I've been sticking at right around 1200 and am noticing some headaches and dizziness. So I've better up my calories a bit. I've got to find a way to do that though and not up my carbs to much.
Have a great day!

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Kzoo mother fighting for custody of remaining child after Interfaith fireKALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A Kalamazoo mother is fighting for custody of her surviving child months after a deadly apartment fire.3-year-old twins Tevin and Teniyah Williams, and 1-year-old Tyonna Henderson died in a fire after being left home alone at Interfaith Apartments in Kalamazoo in February.Their older sister survived.Now their mother, Jonetta Woods, is on trial to determine if she can keep her child.We've been hearing testimony since 9:00 a.m., to learn if Jonetta Woods is a risk to her surviving 5-year-old daughter.The therapists who took the stand Wednesday gave a resounding yes."There is a very consistent pattern of being unable to recognize the needs of the child, being impulsive in making decisions," said Dr. Jim Henry, with the WMU Children's Trauma Assessment Center."I don't see her blaming herself for what happened," said psychologist Elizabeth CaryTwo court-appointed psychologists and a doctor shared their assessments Wednesday.They made it clear that in their opinion, Jonetta Woods has not come to terms with the fact that three of her children are dead.Dr. Henry said Woods' rights to her surviving child should be terminated because she takes no responsibility in what happened."The risk that's going to happen increases tremendously because of the inability to recognize danger in the future," he said.He says that's based on her IQ, which he says is statistically in the bottom 1 percent of the population of the U.S.Woods' attorney argued that taking her daughter away would cause even more trauma to the child.Cary said though Woods didn't have emotion for her late children, she did have strong feelings about her ex-boyfriend's acquittal of involuntary manslaughter in the children's death."She was definitely angry he wasn't held responsible for the deaths of the children," Cary said.The judge said regardless of the decision, there is another factor in play.The surviving daughter's father is about to be released from jail in 60 days, so custody may still be up in the air.The judge says the next court date may not be for three months.

Howdy from "Norcal", I am Tom. My rigid steel trek 930 hooked me in 92. Trails are my main gig, but as long as I'm spinnin' somewhere it's a good day!
At the present time, I do most of my riding on my 2013 Salsa El Mariachi 2. My Trek is now beeing used by a friend. "You can keep it as long as you want, but I'm getting it back when you're done!" Love that bike.
I have an adventure coming up I can't wait to discuss, but for now I have to get the kiddies to school.
Happy Trails!

Good job.
This is a discussion on Interesting scenario within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Good job....
A perfect scenario for OC. After which the cane would be very effective.
I'm thinking that if I am going to threaten someone with a knife, by display, I might as well do same with a gun, both being potential assault with a deadly weapon---though not in this circumstance.
I have a hunch the story is fiction, but still --either way-- a good scenario.
There is a reason that (here at least) most felonious attacks on the elderly carry additional jail time. So, our big guy, probably isn't going to be seeing his spoiled brat all that much the next few years. Should help the kid. With some luck, mamma will grow up real fast when she finds she has to: a) live by herself; b) raise kid by herself; c) get a job; d) sell house to pay for futile defense against the charges before big boy goes to big house. With any real luck, the LEOs will find that there were drugs in that
fancy truck. Mom will go to jail too. Kid will go to foster home. Just maybe, there will be a slim chance of the little girl then growing up somewhat "normal."
apparently mom and dad wer involved in some steroid sales across state lines... or some such... they are in beaucoup deep stuff. From what I have heard... and this assault is very low on the ladder of prosecutable charges...
It could be worse!
I suppose
I'm thinking that when the 69yr old disabled vet added words to the sight of the knife: "What you think is going to happen here isn't. I'm not going to let you beat me up to prove to your wife and kid how tough you are. What is going to happen here is if you assault me, I'm going to spread your guts all over this floor. You'll get me, but you're going to die doing it." he clearly expressed intention and mindset that got 'daddy's' attention.
Same if it was his gun.
"It is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end"____Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519
Nice story, but having worked for a police department in suburban Maryland for fifteen years this one does not pass the sniff test. Unless the original author left a whole bunch of significant information out (which they may have done) I don't know a single department that would have handled the incident as described.
Infowars- Proving David Hannum right on a daily basis
Can't speak to the veracity of the original story, only posted it here for remarks... I did try to look it up to no avail... maybe it is just a good story...
It could be worse!
I suppose
I bet a 911 call would work wonders. To dispatch: "Yes m'am I am at Panera Bread located xxxx, there is a man here who has aggressively approached me and threatened me with physical harm." Anything he says at this point is recorded.
I would have spoken to the manager when I saw the wife make the phone call. After explaining things to him and getting a refund I would have left. The other option would have been to call the police ahead of time and tell them that you are a disabled vet and a woman has just called her husband to come beat you up. Explain that you aren't very mobile and don't want to leave the protection of the public place you are in. Be proactive and not reactive. This guy waited for a fight to come to him and it could have turned out ugly.
Waiting there passively for the BG could have gotten him killed. What if the BG had a gun?
I havent heard any of the journalists who volunteered to be waterboarded asking to have their fingernails wrenched out with pliers, or electrodes attached to their genitals.
Assuming this really occurred...
I can certainly see the reasonable thinking behind calling 911. I can certainly see the reasonable thinking behind just moving from the table.
But, at what point do we say enough is enough? At what point do we stand up and say "I'm mad as heck and I'm not going to take it anymore?"
At the extremes, there seems to be 2 main schools of thought here on DC. The "sheep/wolves/sheepdog" paradigm, and the "avoid conflict at all cost" paradigm.
I can't stomach those with "mall ninja" demeanor that seem to take to the first paradigm, and I don't want to stop enjoying my life within my rights to avoid someone else trampling on them.
Now, in the scenario as presented, we have an elderly gentleman sitting down to enjoy his breakfast. He just gets started, and some brat comes along and tells him to move. Brat's mom backs the brat politely at first, but in the end calls big bad daddy to "handle this" and forcibly eject the elderly, disabled veteran.
The vet hasn't gone to the "wrong part of town," he's not using an ATM in a dark alley somewhere, he's not in a "stop and rob" at midnight. He's having breakfast in a well lit mainstream national franchise, at breakfast time, in a high traffic area, in broad daylight. He's well within his rights, and does not escalate the situation in any way.
Bad boy shows up, threatens the 69 YO vet with a whuppin. Somebody else (probably one of the "be a good witness crowd") has already called 911 by the way... and they are enroute.
As a bystander... I would have done the same (called 911 and been a good witness).
But in the place of the old vet... or even myself at my current age and ability... I wouldn't have done much different. I doubt that I'd have pulled out my knife... but the scenario occuring in Maryland, I wouldn't have been able to carry a gun (most likely), so if that's all I had, that'd have to do.
Today, where I live, with a PCW, and carrying, I might (probably would) have exposed my handgun. Not brandished it, not waved it around, but made the holster and it's contents easily accessible, getting a cover garment out of the way, untucking, whatever. I'd have probably put my hand on the grip as well.
Now, the guy has already threatened me with a whuppin, in front of witnesses. He's bigger than me, he's stronger than me, and he's probably on 'roids and whatever else. I am in danger of grave bodily harm. I will state that I am afraid of him, or what he can do to me, loud enough for the same witnesses to hear.
Hopefully, by this time the police sirens are audible, and help is on the way.
But, I can't just be a good witness, I am the victim here. I'm not going to jump up and point my gun at the jerk. But I am in a place I am legally allowed to be, I am not bothering anybody, and a hasty retreat is not an option. He's "bringing it;" I am rational, quiet, and waiting. The next move will be his, and will start whatever action/reaction is going to take place.
I can't say with certainty what the outcome will be.
It could be worse!
I suppose
If I knew I was going to be in a fight at Panera's today I'd stay home. The man in the story had every right to be where he was, but he also knew ahead of time that an encounter was on it's way to him. It's not a matter of where do you draw the line. It's knowing ahead of time a lethal force situation could happen in the next few minutes and waiting around for it to hit you in the face. As for me, I'm not 69 and have never been too worried about blowhards, but in today"s world a blowhard with a gun is a very real possibility.
I havent heard any of the journalists who volunteered to be waterboarded asking to have their fingernails wrenched out with pliers, or electrodes attached to their genitals.
Just to interject a little info: I read this story on a different Forum. It appears that when the Police arrived they impounded Hubbies truck for parking in a no parking zone. He resisted arrest so four or five officers opened up a can of ass-wuping on him and took him off to jail. Currently both Mom and Dad are behind bars for various drug related offenses.

What locations for MCDBA certification are in my area?
What locations in Austin, Texas, can you recommend for obtaining a MCDBA certification? Given that so much training is available online, you don't have to restrict yourself to the local area. That said, Productivity Point and New Horizons both offer at least partial support for the MCDBA exams locally, and other companies occasionally bring traveling classes to town (or to nearby cities, like Houston and Dallas). I suggest you look...

for MCDBA holders at Dell, and ask them if they can recommend any purveyors. I also urge you to consider a "boot camp" as an alternative, if Dell will send you to one (a quick Google search on "MCDBA boot camp" indicates that all the major players offer same, as well as some outfits I've never heard of, either).

|"Gentlemen, behold!"
Dr. Weird is a supporting character and main antagonist in the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force. For the first two seasons of the show, he was the subject of its cold openings. He rarely appears outside the cold openings.
Dr. Weird wears a purple and green robe, with a W-shaped hole in the front. He also has a "hairarium" or hair heater around his head. He has white hair that somewhat forms the shape of a W. Reminiscent of super villains from the 1960s and 1970s, Dr. Weird has a mask that covers his eyes, which appear to be solid red. He also wears gloves.
First and foremost, Dr. Weird is completely insane. In the series premiere, Dr. Weird invented the Rabbot to take care of the world's "vegetable problem." In the film, Dr. Weird and his assistant Steve, who Dr. Weird's lab assistant and occasionally his guinea pig, dressed up in various disguises. At one point, while Dr. Weird was wearing a chicken disguise that was actually the size of a chicken, Steve remarked, "That's my wife." It is never fully explained what this means. It could be possible that Dr. Weird forced Steve to marry him (although later in the film, Steve later remarked that his wife wanted him home by a certain time, implying that this is not true). It could also be possible that this was a backstory formulated by Dr. Weird to make the disguises more believable.
When the show began, the cold openings would feature Dr. Weird shouting "Gentlemen, BEHOLD!!" to Steve and no one else, then he would usually demonstrate something that would be used later in the episode, such as the RainbowMaker 400 in "Escape From Leprechaupolis" or MC Pee Pants in the episode of the same name. By the end of Season One, however, the cold openings with Dr. Weird and Steve were changed to utter nonsense. They had nothing to do with the following episode, and nothing in them made sense. Of course, not making sense has always been Dr. Weird's main personality trait.
Powers and Abilities?Edit
Although it is never fully addressed in the series, Dr. Weird seems to have some manipulation over the laws of physics and logic in general. While Frylock's science experiments usually have some base in real-life science, Dr. Weird seems to completely defy science. For example, in "Revenge of the Trees," a gigantic version of Dr. Weird's head eats Steve, whose body falls on Javier (Dr. Weird's hispanic janitor) and explodes. In "Super Bowl," Steve pops out of Dr. Weird's body, yet Dr. Weird is perfectly fine. In the film, he was able to fit himself into a chicken outfit that was the size of an actual chicken. He is also, presumably, the creator of a moth-human hybrid known as Mothmonsterman, and a monster made to look like a present[1]. He also has a blue gas inside of him that is seen in multiple cold openings.
Failure to ReturnEdit
It was announced at a convention [2] that there would be Dr. Weird cold openings for Season 8. He and Steve did appear in the cold opening of the first episode of Season 8, but Dr. Weird didn't return for "Allen Part Two" nor any of the other Season 8 episodes; though, one can see Dr. Weird in the opening sequence of Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 after Meatwad morphs into a machine gun. At this point, it is highly unlikely for Dr. Weird to return. A similar fate befell Mr. Beefy who was confirmed via Dave Willis's Twitter account to appear in every episode of that season, despite appearing only once in "Allen Part Two."[3]
- Even though in the film Dr. Weird said he was created by Frylock and that they were creations of Walter Melon, it was confirmed in 2010 during "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Live" by series creator Dave Willis that Dr. Weird was indeed the creator of the Aqua Teens, making them brothers. Thus confirming that Weird's confession was just another one of his insane rants and that Walter Melon was simply one of his creations used for his insane and convoluted plot to mess with the Aqua Teens. [4]
- In the cold open for the episode The Dressing, Dr. Weird kills Space Ghost and uses his head as a mask. This is humorous because Weird's voice actor C. Martin Croker potrayed Zorak on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, and because Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis were writers on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.
