a. Introduction
Before the enactment of Sections 50 and 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law, the New York state courts did not recognize any of the privacy torts. The legislature passed the statutes in direct response to the decision in Roberson v. Rochester Folding Box Co., 64 N.E. 442 (N.Y. 1902). To state a valid cause of action for violations of Section 50 and 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law, a plaintiff must allege that: (1) defendants used his or her image; (2) his or her image or likeness was used for commercial and business purposes (as opposed to being used in matters relating to legitimate public interest); and (3) that the use of his or her image was unauthorized without plaintiff's consent.1
New York courts have consistently held that these statutes are to be "narrowly construed" and "strictly limited" to "nonconsensual commercial appropriations of the name, portrait or picture of a living person."2 The "newsworthiness exception," which is a question of law for the courts, is "broadly construed to include, 'not only descriptions of actual events, but also articles concerning political happenings, social trends, or any subject of public interest.'"3 The courts have explained that "[w]hether an item is newsworthy depends solely 'on the content of the article'—not the publisher's 'motive to increase circulation.'"4
New York courts also apply an "incidental use" exception, under which the use of the plaintiff's image is "fleeting" or "de minimus" in the broader context of the medium at issue, e.g. book, film, etc.5
b. Text of Statutes
1) N.Y. Civ. Rights Law § 50 – Right of privacy
A person, firm or corporation that uses for advertising purposes, or for the purposes of trade, the name, portrait or picture of any living person without having first obtained the written consent of such person, or if a minor of his or her parent or guardian, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
2) N.Y. Civ. Rights Law § 51 – Action for injunction and for damages
Any person whose name, portrait, picture or voice is used within this state for advertising purposes or for the purposes of trade without the written consent first obtained as above provided may maintain an equitable action in the supreme court of this state against the person, firm or corporation so using his name, portrait, picture or voice, to prevent and restrain the use thereof; and may also sue and recover damages for any injuries sustained by reason of such use and if the defendant shall have knowingly used such person's name, portrait, picture or voice in such manner as is forbidden or declared to be unlawful by section fifty of this article, the jury, in its discretion, may award exemplary damages. But nothing contained in this article shall be so construed as to prevent any person, firm or corporation from selling or otherwise transferring any material containing such name, portrait, picture or voice in whatever medium to any user of such name, portrait, picture or voice, or to any third party for sale or transfer directly or indirectly to such a user, for use in a manner lawful under this article; nothing contained in this article shall be so construed as to prevent any person, firm or corporation, practicing the profession of photography, from exhibiting in or about his or its establishment specimens of the work of such establishment, unless the same is continued by such person, firm or corporation after written notice objecting thereto has been given by the person portrayed; and nothing contained in this article shall be so construed as to prevent any person, firm or corporation from using the name, portrait, picture or voice of any manufacturer or dealer in connection with the goods, wares and merchandise manufactured, produced or dealt in by him which he has sold or disposed of with such name, portrait, picture or voice used in connection therewith; or from using the name, portrait, picture or voice of any author, composer or artist in connection with his literary, musical or artistic productions which he has sold or disposed of with such name, portrait, picture or voice used in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit the copyright owner of a sound recording from disposing of, dealing in, licensing or selling that sound recording to any party, if the right to dispose of, deal in, license or sell such sound recording has been conferred by contract or other written document by such living person or the holder of such right. Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence shall be deemed to abrogate or otherwise limit any rights or remedies otherwise conferred by federal law or state law.
c. Cases
1) D'Andrea v. Rafla-Demetrious, 972 F. Supp. 154 (E.D.N.Y. 1997)
Procedural Posture: Defendants moved for judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff former resident's claim for invasion of privacy arising from publication of photograph in hospital's residency brochure.
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff was a resident in the hospital between 1986 and 1989, and he agreed to be photographed for a brochure discussing the hospital's medical internships and residencies. Although he noted that he wanted to be consulted prior to a publication of his photograph, he did not object when his photo was published in the 1989 brochure. He only brought this claim based on both the 1989 and 1992 brochures when he raised other related claims for tortious interference against the hospital and his former program coordinator.
Outcome: The court granted the motion for judgment as a matter of law under the "incidental use" doctrine because the use of the plaintiff's photograph in the brochure "was unquestionably incidental to the main purpose of the document, i.e., to provide information about Methodist's programs to prospective interns and residents. His photograph did not provide any information about the curriculum or opportunities available at Methodist. To the contrary, the testimony of Dr. Hill was that D'Andrea's photograph was selected from among many by an independent brochure designer (who was not otherwise associated with the hospital) for the purpose of filling up space on a page. D'Andrea was one of 42 people included in such photographs)."6 The court also noted that the facts that some colleagues could recognize his photograph was irrelevant, and regardless, "the mere fact that the subject of an advertisement might be recognizable does not preclude application of the incidental use doctrine."7
Special Notes: The parties' dispute led to three separate cases referenced herein; the other two cases are cited for tortious interference and prima facie tort.8
Outcome: The court dismissed plaintiff's claim for relief under the newsworthiness exception. The court then dismissed plaintiff's remaining claims for unjust enrichment and quantum meruit because "under New York law, common law claims for unjust enrichment related to unauthorized use of a person's image or likeness are subsumed under §§ 50-51."9
Special Notes: Applying the newsworthiness exception to §§ 50-51.
3) Candelaria v. Spurlock, No. 08-1830, 2008 WL 2640471 (E.D.N.Y. July 3, 2008)
Procedural Posture: Considering motion to dismiss by plaintiff, a McDonald's employee, alleging claims under NY Civil Rights Law §§ 50-51, arising from her appearance in 3-4 seconds of "Super Size Me," a documentary film about the dangers of fast food directed by defendant.
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff, a McDonald's employee featured in 3-4 seconds of "Super Size Me" without her consent regarding the unavailability of nutritional information to McDonald's patrons. She alleged that she never consented to the use of her image, and that the defendant had unlawfully used hidden cameras to capture her image.
Outcome: The court dismissed the suit because both the "newsworthiness" and the "incidental use" exceptions applied. The movie was newsworthy because it focused on a "genuine newsworthy issue," and plaintiff's appearance in 3-4 seconds was merely "incidental" to the film. Moreover, New York courts have interpreted the law to permit the use of a plaintiff's image even where the plaintiff is unaware, so the use of "hidden cameras" was irrelevant. Further, plaintiff was filmed in a McDonald's where she had no viable expectation of privacy: "Here, plaintiff was not filmed in her home or any other location in which she could reasonably be expected not to be filmed. She was at the counter of a McDonald's, meeting dozens if not hundreds of members of the public in the course of her shift every day. She had no reasonable expectation of privacy while doing so."10
Special Notes: Applying the "newsworthiness" and "incidental use" exceptions.
4) Messenger v. Gruner + Jahr Printing & Publ'g, 727 N.E.2d 549 (N.Y. 2000)
Procedural Posture: On certification from the Second Circuit regarding the following issue: "May a plaintiff recover under N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51 where the defendant used the plaintiff's likeness in a substantially fictionalized way without the plaintiff's consent, even if the defendant's use of the image was in conjunction with a newsworthy column?"
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff posed for photos for Young and Modern ("YM") magazine without obtaining her parents' consent when she was only 14 years old. The magazine published a column in a letter-to-the-editor in which the speaker, a 14-year-old girl, asked for advice about what to do after she had accidentally gotten drunk and had sex with her 18-year-old boyfriend and two of his friends. The photographs of plaintiff juxtaposed the column and appeared to illustrate it. Plaintiff sued for relief, alleging that the juxtaposition implied that plaintiff had authored the letter.
Outcome: The court answered the certified question in the negative and determined that plaintiff could not bring her claim. The court explained that by extending a "fictionalization" exception to the newsworthiness exception to a newsworthy article to a situation like that at issue here, "liability under Civil Rights Law § 51 becomes indistinguishable from the common-law tort of false light invasion of privacy."11
5) Hurwitz v. United States, 884 F.2d 684 (2d Cir. 1989)
Procedural Posture: On appeal from lower court decision dismissing claim for invasion of privacy on statute of limitations grounds.
Law: Invasion of privacy
Facts: Plaintiff sued under the Federal Tort Claims Act for invasion of his privacy allegedly occurring when the Government opened a letter he had sent an acquaintance in the Soviet Union. He learned of the "invasion" thirteen years after the incident, when he later requested his CIA file under the Privacy Act of 1974.
Outcome: The court affirmed dismissal on the grounds that there is no common law invasion of privacy claim and that plaintiff "failed to state a cause of action recognized under New York law."12
Special Notes: Because New York courts do not recognize a common law action for invasion of the right of privacy, "the unauthorized opening and copying of another's mail does not give rise to an invasion of privacy claim in New York, whether it is styled 'intrusion' or otherwise."13
6) Stephano v. News Group Publ'n, Inc., 474 N.E.2d 580 (N.Y. 1984)
Procedural Posture: On appeal from lower court order granting defendant's motion for summary judgment and dismissing plaintiff's complaint.
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff, a professional model, sued defendant for a violation of his right to privacy, alleging that defendant used his picture for trade or advertising purposes without his consent. Plaintiff agreed to model for one magazine article, but he was featured in a later article as well. He sought $350,000 in damages for the alleged violation.
Outcome: The court affirmed the dismissal of plaintiff's suit because the publication of the photograph was protected by the newsworthiness exception to the law. The court rejected plaintiff's argument that the photograph did not depict a newsworthy event because it was a posed picture of a professional model taken at a photographic session staged by the defendant. The court explained, "the event or matter of public interest which the defendant seeks to convey is not the model's performance, but the availability of the clothing item displayed. A fashion display is, of necessity, posed and arranged. Obviously, the picture of the jacket does not lose its newsworthiness simply because the defendant chose to employ a person to model it in a controlled or contrived setting."14 Moreover, the court noted that the fact that the magazine published the photo to increase its circulation was a nonissue because "[a] contrary rule would unreasonably and unrealistically limit the exception to nonprofit or purely altruistic organizations which are not the only, or even the primary source of information concerning newsworthy events and matters of public interest."15
7) Simon v. Time Warner Cable, Inc., 918 N.Y.S.2d 400 (N.Y. Gen. Term 2010)
Procedural Posture: Plaintiff sued defendants, among them, Idea Village and Blue Moon Studios for unjust enrichment seeking $100,000 compensatory damages, costs and punitive damages for the alleged illegal use of his image without his permission. Defendants moved to dismiss all claims for failure to state a cause of action and for lack of jurisdiction.
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff had a Talent Agreement with Blue Moon Studios for use of his image and participated in an infomercial for a razor for $1500. Plaintiff argued that after the agreement had expired, he discovered that his image was still being used on television commercials, on the internet, and on product packaging in New York and throughout the United States. He sent all of the defendants an invoice for the use of his image and certain defendants sent him a check, while others did not. Blue Moon Studios and Idea Village asserted that plaintiff had no cause of action because under the Talent Agreement, plaintiff "irrevocably" assigned his rights to his likeness to them. Defendants also argued that the court had no jurisdiction over them because they are both New Jersey companies without agents/offices in New York, the contract was negotiated in New Jersey, and the commercial was produced in New Jersey. The court dismissed Blue Moon Studios as a defendant for lack of jurisdiction, but denied the remainder of the motion to dismiss because plaintiff alleged all of the elements required to establish a cause of action for violation of Civil Rights Law against the remaining defendants.
Outcome: The court granted the motion to dismiss as to Blue Moon Studios, but allowed the rest of the action to proceed.
Special Notes: Plaintiff's complaint alleged that "after the Usage Term expired, plaintiff discovered that his Images were being used in television and internet advertisements, without plaintiff's prior knowledge or authorization . . ." and that he informed Idea Village "directly or indirectly through defendant Ingrid, of the unauthorized use and/or assignment of the Images."16 The court held that "[w]hen viewing plaintiff's allegations as true, as the Court must on a motion to dismiss, plaintiff has alleged all of the elements required to establish a cause of action for violation of the Civil Rights Law as against Idea Village."17
8) Gallon v. Hustler Magazine, 732 F. Supp. 322 (N.D.N.Y. 1990)
Procedural Posture: In addendum to earlier opinion, court considered plaintiff's request for a damage award of $30K for persistent mental anguish arising from publication of nude photograph without her consent
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff was a college student when her ex-lover took photographs of her in the nude without her consent. He later sold them to Hustler Magazine for their "Beaver Hunt" section, which features amateur photographs. Hustler claimed it ensured accuracy and legitimacy of releases before publication, but the evidence did not support a finding that the procedures were adequate.18 Regardless, "it [was] obvious that the research department did not even follow its own procedures in an attempt to verify the validity of the release in question. Although Hustler magazine had been constructively put on notice of deficiencies in its verification process. . . they did virtually nothing to alter their verification procedures regarding the screening of submissions to the Beaver Hunt section of the magazine."19
Outcome: The court awarded the plaintiff $30K in damages, but held that defendant's actions were not so "wanton" and willful that plaintiff should recover punitive damages.20
9) Garis v. Uncut-RawTV, Inc., No. CV06-503, 2011 WL 4404035 (E.D.N.Y. July 5, 2011)
Procedural Posture: Following district court's entry of a default judgment for plaintiff, district court referred case to magistrate judge for an inquest to determine and recommend what damages, if any, were appropriate (including attorneys' fees).
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff Garis had a sexual encounter with defendant Sullivan, and he taped the encounter without her permission. He later, copied, distributed and sold the videotape without her consent, causing her severe emotional distress. The default judgment was entered against defendants where they failed to answer or otherwise move against plaintiff's complaint. Plaintiff sought $1 M in damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees.
Outcome: The court granted plaintiff $50,000 in damages and no attorneys' fees. Although plaintiff established that defendants' actions had caused her emotional distress, the court found $1 M excessive because, "[t]he materials submitted by plaintiff do not indicate that plaintiff's depression was severe. Furthermore, there were other contributing factors to plaintiff's mental state [e.g., the death of her cousin]. Finally, because plaintiff sought treatment at a free clinic, there are no out-of-pocket expenses to be recovered as a result of her emotional distress."21 The court granted an injunction because plaintiff "met her burden to establish success on the merits of her claim as is required for injunctive relief" and would be irreparably harmed by the continued distribution of her image.22 The court denied attorneys' fees only because plaintiff had failed to present any facts or data to back up her request (e.g. no time sheets, etc.).
d. Practice Pointers
The New York statute is designed to enforce the right to be left alone. However, there are exemptions that reflect concern for "free dissemination of news and other matters of interest to the public," and for "incidental uses" of a plaintiff's image.23
The New York courts broadly construe the "newsworthiness" exception, and "[t]he exception applies not only to reports of political happenings and social trends . . . and to news stories and articles of consumer interest such as developments in the fashion world . . . but to matters of scientific and biological interest such as enhanced fertility and in vitro fertilization as well. Moreover, questions of 'newsworthiness' are better left to reasonable editorial judgment and discretion; judicial intervention should occur only in those instances where there is 'no real relationship' between a photograph and an article or where the article is an 'advertisement in disguise.'"24
Although "[l]egitimate countervailing social needs may warrant some intrusion despite an individual's reasonable expectation of privacy and freedom from harassment. . . the interference allowed may be no greater than that necessary to protect the overriding public interest."25
The statute of limitations for violations of N.Y. Civil Rights Law §§ 50 & 51 is one year, and it begins to run on the first day of publication, and is not renewed for subsequent republications.26 However, "[t]he single publication rule does not apply where an item is published initially, but is then republished, not merely as a belated release of the original publication, but as a republication."27 Courts considering whether a republication has occurred look at whether the item at issue has been "modified and revised" and also consider the type of merchandise on which the plaintiff's image is used, etc.28 In Zoll, the court determined as a matter of law that the re-airing of a 1978 commercial featuring plaintiff as a 2000 re-release was not a republication where the commercial appeared in its original form.29
New York courts refuse to recognize "efforts to present statutory privacy claims as common law claims where the claim is based on alleged unauthorized use of a plaintiff's image or likeness and have refused to exalt form over substance when a plaintiff attempts to do so. . . A number of cases have squarely held that common law unjust enrichment claims for unauthorized use of an image or likeness are subsumed by the Civil Rights Law. . . It seems clear that common law trespass claims are likewise subsumed by the Civil Rights Law . . . [since] New York does not recognize a common law property right in one's image or likeness."30

Procedural Posture: Considering motion to dismiss by plaintiff, alleging claims under NY Civil Rights Law §§ 50-51, as well as claims for unjust enrichment and quantum meruit, arising from his involvement in a scene in the movie Borat.
Law: N.Y. Civ. Rights Law §§ 50-51
Facts: Plaintiff sued under NY Civil Rights law for the publication of his image without his consent, after his image was captured in an opening scene of Borat. The question at issue was whether plaintiff's image was used for "advertising purposes or for the purposes of trade" within the meaning of the statute. The court found that under the strict interpretation of the statute, the alleged violation fell under the newsworthiness exception: "Of course, the movie employs as its chief medium a brand of humor that appeals to the most childish and vulgar in its viewers. At its core, however, Borat attempts an ironic commentary of 'modern' American culture, contrasting the backwardness of its protagonist with the social ills [that] afflict supposedly sophisticated society."

So today, I was in one of my classes, complaining to my best friend S., because her bf wouldn't give me a hug since I came out to him. Then, the other person at our table, A., said "well maybe he thinks you're gay", and then in the ensuing laughter from me and S., took the time to apologize to me, and then I assured her that apologies were not needed. I wonder if A. got it or not.
i can always spot a gay joke...even if it's not intendedto be a gay joke....>.>' lol

Any REAL paint store (e.g. Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin Williams) should be able to match your existing paint or stain. To match the color, you would need to provide a good sample of the paint or stain, as it looks on the existing surface. When matching colors, you can't match to the original color (e.g. an original paint swatch) because the original paint has faded & aged over time. Also, Benjamin Moore & Sherwin Williams provide excellent on-line tools to help you choose colors. If you want to go with a new color, it's really depends on your personal tastes. Neutral colors are usually a good choice. |

We see the headlines all of the time:
"Uptick in Cyber Attacks on Small Businesses" ; "$1.5 Million Cyberheist Ruins Escrow Firm"; "Bank Sues Victim to Recover Funds"; "Missouri Court Rules Against $440,000 Account Takeover Victim"
Although it is over 250 years old, Benjamin Franklin's "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is a valuable axiom in regards to credit unions working with their business customers to prevent account takeover and fraud. Criminal entities employ various methods to obtain access to the legitimate banking credentials from businesses, including mimicking an institution's website, using malware and viruses to compromise the business' system, or using social engineering to defraud employees into revealing security credentials or other sensitive data. In each case, fraudsters exploit the infected system to obtain security credentials that they can use to access a company's business accounts and make fraudulent transfers.
Credit unions initiating funds transfers on behalf of businesses should vigilantly and proactively protect against this type of fraud in various ways in order to mitigate risk for both themselves and the company involved. Here are a few reminders and best practices for financial institutions:
As with any compliance guidelines, the most important tool your credit union can employ is education. Train your staff on how to watch for unusual activity on business customer's accounts, and inform your corporate customers about ways to prevent, detect, and report financial crimes. By keeping your members educated about the importance of implementing their own systems and sound business practices to protect themselves, you will in turn further protect your credit union.

The average gestation for a horse is 340 days. For breeders, the first pregnancy checks of 15, 30 and 45 days speed by all too quickly. Then the long wait begins. The following timeline is something we always seem to seek out in the dead of winter. We decided to include it here as it is a fun and educational way of tracking the development of the eagerly anticipated foal.
With the naked eye, you can see only the "embryonic vesicle" which houses the embryo. The vesicle looks like a shimmering, firm, translucent bubble, less than ¼ inch in diameter. On the ultrasound screen, you will see it as a black circle in a sea of grainy gray (your mare's uterus). At this point, the embryo is no larger than a pinpoint.
The vesicle has grown to 1 inch in diameter. It's a shimmering, flabby, translucent bubble with a dark red dot (the embryo) at one end. A network of threadlike blood vessels emanates from the ¼ inch dot. You can barely make out the beginnings of animal features: a head, tiny bumps that will become eyes; a fleshy tail nub; and four little buds that will eventually become legs. On the ultrasound monitor, you will see the vesicle as an irregular, guitar-pick shaped black blob in a sea of grainy gray. Generally, around Day 24 an embryonic heart is large enough to be seen on the ultrasound screen. To find it, focus on the "floor" surface of the blob. You will see a white smudge, about ½ inch in diameter, resting there; this is the embryo. Within the smudge, a tiny black dot, about the size of a pinpoint, will be flashing on and off like a computer's screen's cursor-this is the pea sized embryo's beating heart.
The vesicle is now 2 ½ inches in diameter, roughly spherical in shape, and somewhat collapsed. The ¾ inch embryo within is now recognizable as a four-legged critter: it has a blobby dome for a head, eyelids, rudimentary ears, ridges where the nostrils will be, and functional elbows an stifle joints. An ultrasound would reveal the vesicle as a roundish black blob: look for the white smudge of an embryo to be suspended from the blob's ceiling, rather than resting on its floor. This shift of position is step one in what researchers call "the rise and fall of the embryo." It results from filmy membranes at the top of the vesicle coming together to form the umbilical cord. As they do so, they shorten, pulling the olive-sized embryo up to the ceiling like a chandelier.
The embryo is now slightly over an inch long, nesting within the confines of the 3-inch vesicle. You can see tiny ribs under its skin; its domed head looks like that of a Chihuahua, and has developed a distinct skull. Little triangles represent its ears; the hock and fetlock joints have developed. At this stage, your future foal officially will graduate from embryo to fetus. On an ultrasound monitor, you'll find the fetus back on the vesicle's floor, due to a lengthening of the umbilical cord. Because of its size-now about that of a pecan-this will be your last opportunity to view the fetus via ultrasound; in a matter of weeks, it'll be too large for the screen.
The vesicle is now flabby and shapeless, conforming to the uterine walls; the fetus is about 2 1/2 inches long. You can see that it clearly resembles a horse, thanks to the development of tiny hooves, complete with soles and frogs. Its head is still tucked, but less so than before. The fetus is hairless, and about the size of a hamster.
The fetal head and neck will be untucked, and are being held level with the spine in the "normal" horse position. Its sex is now viable: you can see that little lumps have formed for the scrotum, if it's a male, or the udder, if its a female. The fetus is now about the size of a chipmunk.
Your mare's 7-inch fetus is about the size of a 6-week old kitten. You can see a bit of hair on its lips; its ears are unfurling from its head. They're now nearly 1/2 inch long and are curled forward. The coronary bands look like raised lines encircling the tops of its tiny 1/4-inch hooves.
Gaining more than a pound every 10 days, the fetus now is about the size of a rabbit. Hair graces its chin, muzzle, and eyelids. If you look closely, you'll see that eyelashes have emerged.
The fetus has quadrupled its weight in just 30 days. Mane and tail hairs have appeared; it's about the size of a Beagle.
Now about the size of a small lamb, the fetus has whisker-like hairs on its chin, throat and muzzle.
Your mare's fetus now looks like a foal: fine hair covers its body, and it now has a swatch of hair on its tail. It's about the size of a German Shepherd.

Looks like a great deal...wish I saw this a year ago.

Good enough for guest towels
Well, I could use more towels. And these are about the price of a single large towel. In for a bunch.
I scored some towels to dry my nuts. GO Squarryls
These look like a good price, any one have any OWLpinions?
I've had great service out of all of my towels!
I wish there was green!
anyone tried these before? how is the quality and thickness?
Are these good towels? It seems like a good deal for dorm towels...
Two of each item: use one while washing the other!
does squarryls rhyme with towels
Perfect timing. Needed me some guest bathroom towels.
They are 3.5 star towels on Amazon...top seller there and cost 15.99
Are these towels absorbent enough to soak up my tears? I'm sad that these deals are a bunch of paaaaaaaancakes.
These are great for the price.
I use my Pinzon Egyptian Cotton towels to mop up the blood of my enemies!
For those who are interested: A bath towel's quality is measured by its gram weight, which is a number that represents how many grams the towel weighs per square meter. The higher the grams per square meter (GSM), the denser the fibers of the towel are, making it softer and more absorbent. A GSM between 300 and 400 makes for a thinner towel, whereas a GSM of 450 to 600 is plush. A GSM of 700 or higher is considered luxury hotel quality. Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_5744967_measure-quality-bath-towel.html Since these are 725 GSM, they should be very good! Nice deal! Bought the max I could buy. Time to pitch those frayed towels!
Great towels, in for two more sets. This time in Wedgewood and Driftwood. I've always got wood for these towels.
3.7/5 stars at amazon http://www.amazon.com/Pinzon-Egyptian-Cotton-725-Gram-6-Piece/product-reviews/B002S52ZDU/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1
I got these towels on a different Woot-Off! They're pretty good, although you'll need to probably wash them with some vinegar before you use them (to lock in the color). They'll still be a bit shed-y, and you'll find little tufts, but you should be good to go after a while!

Main complaints are fraying ends , while a few people are confused about how they don't absorb water. So pretty good for you weird people like me who wash towels once every month or three, you can get a good year out of these.
Comments from a previous sale. I'm very happy with my set, though it seems there were some people with problems with hanging threads/low absorbency. I'd definitely recommend washing these a couple times and cleaning out your dryer's lint filter in between--the first time through the drier these towels produced massive amounts of lint.
I got these on a previous woot deal. Nice thickness and size. They do lose some of their color in the wash. Sadly a couple of our hand towels got frayed edges on the very first wash. This deal reminded me I needed to put in a complaint to customer service about it. A good price though, even so.
In for a set can't beat 2 sets of towels even a spares for 9.34
What is going on with all of the pieces and tribes stuff? Jeez.

Bought 2
I bought these in a previous Woot and they were super nice! I am going to buy more, just wish they still had the same color I got before.
My daughter is heading off to college next month, and I already had these on my shopping list for her dorm room. This is a great discount. Thanks, Woot!
Recently bought these from woot and yes, linty. also, the hand towels are a weird dimension. however, for the price, actually sort of impressive quality. for college kids, for guest rooms, for those who have a lot of dogs to groom, great towels! i bought a bunch for a local shelter.
Bought these when they were for sale a few weeks ago- they are great towels, in for 3 more sets today. Definitely wash first before using. Empty your dryer lint tray several times during the first dry- I had lint the size of a basketball by the time I was done.

Hi everyone: Ok I removed the bottom chair rail -came off real easy because it was already removed once before as I stated above. Now I have removed all the wallpaper border but some of the backing is still there not much /tried everything - I am going to put a new wallpaper border back up then replace the bottom chair rail and the new border will now fit.
(without the backing/residue)I can use just plain water on the border the way it was made to do. But because of the backing/residue still on the wall I will have to use additional paste. My question is what if I paint over the leftover backing etc. after of course a slight sanding to make it smooth -Will I now be able to use just the water to make the bond? Or should I use the paste to be sure? Thanks Much Bill PS: I'll repost as new because of the time that went by (don't know which is the correct way to a follow up when time as passed). |

Thanks again Bill (Rent a brad nailer and compressor to put the molding back up. |

Have you ever heard anything about oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)? Probably not. Recently, you notice more and more often that your child looks like alien kid: he is constantly irritated, aggressive, rebellious. He arranges a tantrum for any, even the most insignificant matter. He contradicts the whole, and even fights with other children (or just beat them). Teachers at the school, friends and acquaintances – everybody converges in the belief that something is wrong with your baby.
If you'll look closely, you will notice that in the presence of adults, especially you (the parents), the child behaves quite differently. Some tension has appeared in your relationships, formerly tender and cloudless. What happens to your baby? Are these attacks of unwarranted aggression only the signs of maturity? And will they go away with time or the nature of the child has changed forever?
Confusion and helplessness that you feel now, will not help you solve this difficult situation. Only armed with information, you can once again get close to your child. Find out what caused his alienation, and where to apply for help in this situation.
How common is oppositional defiant disorder?
Two-year children, adolescents and even young people can suffer from oppositional defiant disorder. This disorder is characterized by the fact that the child is constantly quarreling with adults, raises a stink, and has a strong feeling of resentment and anger. Before the beginning of puberty, ODD disorder occurs more often in boys than in girls, but after the beginning of puberty it is observed equally often in boys and girls. ODD disorder symptoms occurs in 6-25% of children and adolescents.
Children with oppositional defiant disorder also have other behavioral problems: a syndrome of impaired attention or hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, mood and anxiety disorders. In severe cases, the child may have conductive disorder (behavioral disorder).
Ordinary protest or real disease?
Outbreaks of aggression and anger occur in all children because they often do not like to obey to adults and do what they say to do. But every child, depending on his age, expresses his dissent and protest in different ways. Some of them argue with adults, others weep, others arrange a tantrum, and some kids turn in on themselves. All these actions are different ways to protest. But if the child protests all the time, it may be a sign of psychological disorder.
Defiant attitude toward adults and peers, hostile and aggressive behavior can cause conflict in the family and school. Therefore, it is important to know more about the oppositional defiant disorder, to be able to recognize and diagnose it in a timely manner.
The reasons for oppositional defiant disorder
Medical experts have not yet come to the only right conclusion about the root cause of oppositional defiant disorder. Extensive studies on this subject have shown that this decomposing may develop under the totality of biological, genetic and environmental factors.
Biological factors: the development of oppositional defiant disorder is associated with changes in the neurotransmitters of the brain. Neurotransmitters are made up of amino acids that are found in food proteins. Neurotransmitters are chemical transmitters of impulses between nerve cells.
Raising or lowering the level of neurotransmitters (i.e., deviation from the norm) leads to a sudden change in mood and changes in the thinking process because of impaired transmission of nerve impulses. That's why people with ODD have a sense of irritation, they have no fear of punishment, they often cannot adequately perceive the reality and communicate normally, which leads to the development of psychiatric disorders and neurological disorders.
Genetic factors: the evidence obtained by scientists suggest that oppositional defiant disorder may be a hereditary disease. Often it turns out that close relatives of children and adolescents with this disorder also have propensity to this disease. Psychologists believe that with the genetic predisposition risk of the disease is much higher.
External factor: psychological environment at home and in school plays a crucial role in the development of oppositional defiant disorder. In unfavorable psychological situation a child or young person with an unstable level of neurotransmitters or genetic predisposition has a very severe risk to be among those who suffer from oppositional defiant disorder. The major external factors that contribute to the development of ODD disorder: domestic violence, abuse by peers and adults, sexual abuse, indifference of parents, disastrous financial situation (poverty), or poor quality of life, drug and alcohol use by parents.

Family problems can cause ODD disorder
Parents of oppositional defiant children often are overly concerned about the control over the younger generation. They are stubborn and have a passive-aggressive personality traits.
In many cases, children with ODD disorder were unwanted. Therefore, oppositional defiant behavior is a way of adapting the child to excessive parental demands.
This disorder commonly appears in the age of the typical conflict between the usual dependence on the parents and the desire for separation, emancipation. Negativism, and nonconformity can be des-adaptive attempts to resolve this conflict. Oppositional behavior apparently argues for a child's autonomy, while maintaining an unconscious belief that it will increase attention of parents to him.
Oppositional defiant disorder may be the result of a painful estrangement at an early age. In addition, this disorder can also occur because of a combination of high constitutional self-affirmation ability of the child and emotional immaturity of parents, which they try to compensate by the authoritarianism in relation to their kid.
In this case, the child's struggle for independence can become a sustainable strategy for protection against any encroachments on its autonomy. According to behavioral theory, oppositional disorder is a familiar response to the guidance of parents, a means of controlling parental behavior.
Oppositional defiant disorder may be diagnosed after 3-year age, but it usually attracts attention in elementary school. The child uses indirect means to demonstrate his aggressiveness. Compared with other disorders of social behavior, in this case the kid isn't characterized by impulsive and a tendency to violate the rights of others. His qualitative identity is determined by the predominance of passive-aggressive personality traits. His aggression is addressed primarily to parents and teachers.
Oppositional Behavior and Differential Diagnosis
Patients are usually slovenly, unassembled, forgetful. This impression is reinforced when parents attempt to make their behavior more organized. A characteristic feature is the struggle for the defense of their position in a dispute with the elders, in which the child would rather lose important benefits for himself than will be defeated. But oppositional behavior may also shift with episodes of excessive complaisance.
Learning difficulties are usually caused not by the intelligence reduction, but by the lack of diligence and refusing to aid others in solving problems. Poor performance in school is usually paired with low self-esteem, but these kids don't have feelings of guilt because they shift the blame on others. The state of stress due to the disorder affects surrounding people more than the patients themselves. Oppositional defiant patients have troubles not only in teaching, but also in social adjustment, these people often do not have friends, they are not satisfied with relations with others.
There is a high comorbidity of ODD with affective disorders and psychoactive substance abuse. Behavioral abnormalities are manifested mainly in the interaction with familiar people and nearly invisible in the first clinical interview. It is not clear yet whether this disorder is transient psychological reaction, or a precursor of personal or other mental pathology.
Oppositional defiant disorder differs from the normal phase of childhood oppositional actions by more persistent and different child's behavior from the majority of his peers. Episode of opposition, as accented response to situational stress, is diagnosed as adaptive disorder. Anxiety disorder due to the separation in childhood may also have the features of the oppositional disorder.
What complications it may cause
Many kids with ODD have other disorders and mental problems, such as:
- Depression
- Attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD)
- Learning and communication disorders
- Anxiety
- Asperger's syndrome and autism
If these accompanying disorders are left untreated, coping oppositional disorder can be very hard for parents and physicians, and painful for the affected kid. Children with ODD may have problems in school with lecturers and other authority people. They may experience difficulties with making and keeping friendship.
Oppositional defiant disorder may be a harbinger to other, even more severe disease such as conduct disorder, severe delinquency or substance abuse.
Symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder
It is very difficult to distinguish headstrong and disobedient child and his peer, suffering from oppositional defiant disorder. The days when children and young people respected and implicitly obeyed their parents, teachers and other adults are long gone. Today's kids love to argue and do not hesitate to say what they think on a particular occasion. Therefore, the detection of oppositional defiant disorder should focus on the extent and frequency of symptoms of aggression, stubborn and unruly.
Compare the child with his peers. Keep an eye on his behavior, to understand how often occur his conflicts with children and adults. Observe his relationship with family members, teachers, peers and strangers. If the conflicting behavior continues for more than six months, and if you notice at least four of the following characteristics, then your kid is likely to suffer from oppositional defiant disorder.
So, here are 12 symptoms of ODD:
- The child often loses control of himself;
- The child behaves aggressively;
- The kid argues with his parents and other adults and do not obey to them;
- The child deliberately irritates others;
- The kid is apathetic or cannot play with other children;
- The child with oppositional defiant disorder is often angry or nervous;
- The kid refuses to comply with the rules (at school and at home);
- The child is too stubborn;
- The kid often occur hysterical attacks;
- The child with oppositional defiant disorder cannot communicate normally with other children;
- The kid does not want to study or engage in other organized activities;
- The child with oppositional defiant disorder symptoms remembers the hurt for a long time and do not forget to remind about them.

Colette DePhelps, President
My passion for local food and agriculture began at age 21 in a dugout canoe in the upper Amazon rainforest. Our hosts, the Cofan people, were in the deepest sense sustainable agriculture practitioners and locavores (long before that word was coined). In sharing their homes, food and way of life, I came to understand the beautiful balance that exists in some cultures; sustainability as a way of life, not an adjective or even a goal. Upon returning to the United States, I engaged in a self-defined major at Western Washington University looking at sustainable agriculture and indigenous peoples. That is also when I discovered and joined the food co-op in Bellingham, WA.
A couple of years later, I moved to Pullman and enrolled in a Masters program at Washington State University, hoping to learn more about the philosophy that underpins conventional agriculture. It was then, in 1991, that I joined the Moscow Food Co-op. Upon graduation from WSU, I worked for several years for the WSU Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources, then as the coordinator of the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute's community food systems program. I left PCEI in 1997 to co-found Rural Roots, Inc. a Moscow-based sustainable food and agriculture non-profit organization.
These past 20 years (how time flies), I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with extraordinary farmers, ranchers and other ag professional dedicated to creating a more just, sustainable and resilient regional food system. During that time, I have continued to grow in appreciation of the Moscow Food Co-op and its central role in our Palouse community. For my two children and I (Forest age 12 and Raven age 6) the Co-op is an integral part of our lives: here we find sustenance in great food and a strong caring community. I am honored to be serving on the Moscow Food Co-op's Board of Directors. Thank you.
Glenn Holloway, Vice President+Secretary
I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I lived in Orofino as a teenager and then moved and graduated from Walla Walla High School in 1970. Following graduation, I attended the University of Idaho but then joined the United States Marine Corps' 1st Marine Division during Vietnam. I returned to the University after my enlistment was up to finish my Bachelor's Degree in Radio/Television Production in 1980. I worked for the University of Idaho as an instructional television producer for the Ag Information Department in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and produced 130 educational videos until 1982 when I became a commissioned Armor Officer in the US Army.
My military career allowed me to experience numerous cultures and countries. While living in Europe, I finished my Master's Degree in International Relations and Business. I retired in 2000 as the Executive Officer for Allied Command Europe and returned to the United States in 2003, where I worked for various Department of Defense agencies as a Strategic Planner and Critical Infrastructure subject matter expert. It was during my time as the US Critical Infrastructure Chief that I realized the importance of local food systems and started farming a small acreage in Virginia.
While in Virginia I became friends with and studied sustainable farming under Joel Salatin. My farm was selected to be a model small farm for Holistic Management International. In 2010 my wife and I established an educational program, Go Farm U (www.gofarmu.com), and started training beginning farmers how to farm holistically. We moved back to the Moscow area in September 2013 and began farming just outside of Deary. I fully support the local food system and will work hard to ensure it benefits the social, ecological and economic needs of the Moscow area.
Idgi Potter, Treasurer
I was born and raised on the Palouse, and the Moscow Food Co-op has been a part of my life since before I can remember. Several years in Western Oregon taught me that there's no place like home, and so in 2004 I returned to Moscow and began working in the Co-op bakery. In 2008 I graduated from the U of I with a degree in Range Management, but decided to keep baking after meeting my husband, Geoff. Today, I split my time between taking care of him and our daughter Sage, working at Panhandle Artisan Bread Co., and raising a handful of ducks, chickens, and gardens at our home in Moscow.
Kurt (Sam) Obermayr
Raised in South Idaho, the Palouse has been Kurt Obermayr's home-base since 1980 when he came here, as many have, to attend the University of Idaho, and he stayed to raise his family in the Moscow community. He studied history and ceramic art at U of I. In 1988 he married Maree McHugh. Together they bought property on the edge of town and remodeled an old farm house. They moved to Arizona for six years when his wife took a position with the Indian Health Service. Kurt and Maree came back home to the Palouse in 2007 and are involved socially and politically in the Moscow community.
Kurt is a creative man, using his hands and applying his encyclopedic knowledge of anything he has ever read. He finds few problems unsolvable and can fix just about anything: cars, machines, houses, plumbing, and electrical and social systems. A potter and carpenter by trade, Kurt has earned a living doing what he knows he can do well. He has managed his own renovation-remodel and historical reconstruction business for 20 years. When he lived on the Navajo Nation he became involved in the local Habitat for Humanity and made many friends, not only because he had the right tools, but because of his sense of humor, willingness to learn how to build a Navajo hogan, his love of fry bread, and deep respect for the traditions of the Dine'.
Kurt has always had a passion for history, art, social justice, remodeling old buildings, rafting wild rivers, and hiking in wide open, beautiful places. He can analyze complex political situations, mix cement, pound nails, find his way through the woods, blend into a desert landscape in a heartbeat, and be comfortable and contribute at board meetings. Kurt has served on the board of the Renaissance Fair and on the Moscow Planning and Zoning committee, and is Precinct Committee Chair for Precinct 4. Adhering to the principles of "common sense," building sustainable structures, both physical and within community alliances, is Kurt's strength and commitment.
Bill Beck
Poetry, art, music, political activism, wilderness and my wife, Kathleen, are my passions. Love for our community, concern for others, a belief in the effectiveness of collective action and an appreciation of good food are among the reasons why I support our Co-op. We are stronger working together!

I have an Pentax Optio that I just love even thought it is several years old. Yesterday, I charged a fresh battery to place in it. The problem occurred when the discharged battery would not pop up when I pushed the release button. I tried to get my fingernail under the battery to get it out but no luck. Do any of you have any idea how I can get the battery that is in the camera to release so I can get it out? |

Just an idea.. with our palm of the hand give it a good knock, or get 2 small screw driver to pry it up. |
- Posted by walnutcreek (My Page) on Sun, Aug 15, 10 at 15:27
I have hit it on my palm several times. The two screw drivers (or maybe tweezers) I will try. Thanks. |
In the past have seen Dental floss threaders utilized to get a piece of floss around the back of the battery, then pop it out with the floss. Another trick I saw just last year was the application of 5 minute epoxy to the flat head of a nail and then placing it against the side of the battery. once the epoxy is set use this to pull the battery out. Be Very, Very careful with the epoxy. don't get on anything but the battery. |

Trying to get the battery out with screw drivers and tweezers did not work. I will give troutwind's suggestions a try. |
- Posted by konrad___far_north (My Page) on Tue, Aug 17, 10 at 23:43
This sounds like a malfunction of the release mechanism, please don't pull too hard when you use glue, otherwise the mechanism can break, a repair might have to be done internally by taking it apart. |
- Posted by walnutcreek (My Page) on Fri, Aug 20, 10 at 11:13
I have decided to take the camera to a camera shop. Although the release mechanism appears to be working, that must not be the case. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas. |

Need a soundtrack to set the mood for reading strange holiday fiction? Here's the playlist I listened to while writing "How to Kill Santa" for the anthology, Weird Winter Stories: A Sparrow & Crowe Yuletide Anthology.
Click the GIVE AS A GIFT button and fill someone's digital stockings with weird winter fiction.

I'm a Halloween boy, born and bred in the pumpkin patch, but I've always loved the Winter holidays. The mix is not so incongruous…or rather the incongruity works. Winter/Yule/Christmas and all the rest have had an affair with Weird Tales for a long time–from Charles Dickens to The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was not so long ago that winter was a deadly time of year. The harvest is behind; the spring is impossibly far ahead; the nights are long and dark–time to gather round the fire and tell strange stories.
I had the good fortune of working with the creators of Sparrow & Crowe on an anthology of the winter weird, featuring their eponymous occult investigators. If you like to see more of the odd duo, check out their comic book (try out the free software on Comixology–I'd never thought I'd enjoy reading a comic on a phone, but it's pretty sweet). Also see Sparrow and Crowe in their original appearance as part of the podcasted audio drama Wormwood: A Serialized Mystery (free to download from the website or iTunes).
Best of all, all proceeds from our anthology of winter weird goes to a charity: 826LA.
Check out my story, "How to Kill Santa." It mixes Christmas, Santa, Norse undead known as the draugr, and hagfish! It's Steven King's It meets A Christmas Carol and a dash of Goonies.

The New England Patriots and wide receiver Julian Edelman are expected to agree to a new one-year deal later today, according to multiple reports.
WR Julian Edelman will re-sign with the Patriots today. Visited the Giants but is going back to New England.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 10, 2013
Edelman, who injured his hand in Week 3, recorded just 21 receptions for 235 yards in nine games last season. He will likely serve as the fourth wide out on the depth chart behind off season acquisitions Danny Amendola, Donald Jones and Emmanuel Sanders, who was signed to an offer sheet earlier in the day.
In his career, the former seventh round pick has three career punt return touchdowns.

Those were just the first to come to mind. His points are fine, but he seems to be an average to slightly above average writer at best.

Importance Understanding how individuals value health states is central to patient-centered care and to health policy decision making. Generic preference-based measures of health may not effectively capture the impact of ocular diseases. Recently, 6 items from the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire–25 were used to develop the Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index health state classification, which defines visual function health states.
Objective To describe elicitation of preferences for health states generated from the Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index health state classification and development of an algorithm to estimate health preference scores for any health state.
Design, Setting, and Participants Nonintervention, cross-sectional study of the general community in 4 countries (Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and United States). A total of 607 adult participants were recruited from local newspaper advertisements. In the United Kingdom, an existing database of participants from previous studies was used for recruitment.
Interventions Eight of 15 625 possible health states from the Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index were valued using time trade-off technique.
Main Outcomes and Measures A θ severity score was calculated for Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index–defined health states using item response theory analysis. Regression models were then used to develop an algorithm to assign health state preference values for all potential health states defined by the Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index.
Results Health state preference values for the 8 states ranged from a mean (SD) of 0.343 (0.395) to 0.956 (0.124). As expected, preference values declined with worsening visual function. Results indicate that the Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index describes states that participants view as spanning most of the continuum from full health to dead.
Conclusions and Relevance Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index health state classification produces health preference scores that can be estimated in vision-related studies that include the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire–25. These preference scores may be of value for estimating utilities in economic and health policy analyses.
BCVA indicates best-corrected visual acuity; VFQ-UI, Visual Function Questionnaire–Utility Index; and error bars, standard error of the mean.aThe overall nonstudy eye mean (SD) Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study BCVA at baseline across all subjects was 76.9 (14.74).

The Best of 2012's Summer Music Festivals
The performances that made trekking through the heat worth it and changed my mind about watching live music on YouTube. (Come back every Music Monday for more songs of the week on The Culture Blog.)
By Andy Langer
Radiohead, "Bodysnatchers," Bonnaroo
Because as astounding as the floating screens were, every minute of this live clip offers new proof we'd have been just as astounded without 'em. This year, I saw no other headlining festival set that was half as authoritative or unassailable.

I read where you can dry peppers by hanging them by the stem, my questing is do you dry them as whole peppers, do you have to cut and clean them out or do anything to them at all before hanging them?? thank you in advance for your answers |

Well i have never dried anything like that it takes a long time. I dry my own herbs by putting whatever i want to dry between two ribbed air conditioner filters. then i put the filters on a box fan, so the air is blowing through the filters, secure the filters to the fan with bungee cord, turn the fan on high. I usually let it run for 12 hours then flip the filters over, and let it go for another 12 hours. its not as easy as hang um and leave um, but there will be no bugs to worry about, or rotting (which sometimes happens in humid climits). It always works for me. |
thank you for the idea..I will have to give that a try..thanks again |
willard3..thank you for the link it's very helpful and exactly what I was looking for...thanks again |

poolboy: Sounds like a good idea. I presume "ribbed" means the $3 paper filters? I bet those work well. FYI, up here in OH we call 'em "furnace" filters, not AC filters :) --Don |
- Posted by poolboy101 Tx 9 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 15, 07 at 21:40
Don, Yes thats what i mean. the ones big enough to fit a box fan edge to edge. You can reuse the filters several times when you dry herbs and peppers. |

Hi Peter...thank you for a most informative site. I just received my new Sealy Springfree Garden Vine (Beachside)after much research and listening to your high praise of this bed....I have only one night in so far and cannot give a fair evaluation of it yet. My question is when you say rotate the mattress 1/4 turn.how often, and do you have the bed hanging off the box springs., not sure I am understanding this can you explain it to me? Until your site I never realized how frustrated so many people are out there over shopping for a mattress until I became one of them. I am hoping this new mattress will make the difference for me as I am being treated for insomnia and really need some good sleep. Thank you for your time..
Hi Sharon. You should rotate your new mattress, at least, once a month for the first year. It should only be necessary a few times a year after that. People tend to sleep farther apart in a king size mattress. What happens is, the center where no one sleeps, stays like new while body impressions form on either side. A king isn't exactly square, but it's square enough. It'll hang over about an inch or so on each side when turned this way. It won't hurt the mattress, but it ensures that the padding gets worn evenly.
