The Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus is planning an open house on "How to Be an Entomologist" from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 27. The insect museum is located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building, Crocker Lane, off LaRue Road.
The event is free and open to the public and is family friendly. This is the first of nine open houses during the 2014-15 academic year.
Plans call for a number of UC Davis entomologists to participate--to show and explain their work, said Bohart Museum director Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology.
"We will have a pinning and butterfly and moth spreading ongoing workshop with Jeff Smith and tips on how to rear insects," said Tabatha Yang, the Bohart Museum's education and outreach coordinator. Smith, an entomologist in Sacramento, is a longtime donor and volunteer at the Bohart.
Representatives from the labs of molecular geneticist Joanna Chiu, assistant professor; bee scientist Brian Johnson, assistant professor; ant specialist Phil Ward, professor; insect demographer James R. Carey, distinguished professor; and integrated pest management specialist Frank Zalom, distinguished professor and current president of the 7000-member Entomological Society of America will share their research.
The Johnson lab will provide a bee observation hive, and Cindy Preto of the Zalom lab will be sharing her research on leafhoppers. The Carey lab will show student-produced videos, including how to make an insect collection, and one-minute entomology presentations (students showcasing an insect in one minute). The Ward lab will be involved in outside activities, demonstrating how to collect ants. Entomology students will be on hand to show visitors how to use collecting devices, including nets, pitfall traps and yellow pans.
Other entomologists may also participate. "There will be a lot going on inside the Bohart and outside the Bohart," Yang said. "It will be very hands-on."
The Bohart Museum, founded by noted entomologist Richard M. Bohart (1913-2007), houses a global collection of nearly eight million specimens and boasts the seventh largest insect collection in North America. It also houses the California Insect Survey, a storehouse of the insect biodiversity. The Bohart Museum's regular hours are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays. The museum is closed to the public on Fridays and on major holidays. Admission is free.
The museum's gift shop (on location and online) includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, books, jewelry, insect-collecting equipment and insect-themed candy.
Special attractions include a "live" petting zoo, featuring Madagascar hissing cockroaches, walking sticks and tarantulas. Visitors are invited to hold the insects and photograph them. The newest residents of the petting zoo are Texas Gold-Banded millipedes, Orthoporus ornatus, which are native to many of the southwestern United States, including Texas.
"They're a great addition to the museum's petting zoo," Kimsey said. "They are very gentle and great for demonstrations of how millipedes walk and how they differ from centipedes."
Millipede enthusiast Evan White, who does design and communications for the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science, and is a frequent presenter at the Bohart's open houses, recently obtained the arthropods from a collector in Texas. "Texas Gold-Banded millipedes are naive to many of the Southwestern United States, not just Texas," he said.
Contrary to popular belief, millipedes are not dangerous. "There is much public confusion about the difference between millipedes and centipedes--not because the two look similar, but because the terms are used interchangeably when not connected to a visual," White said.
He described millipedes as non-venomous, and relatively slow moving, with cylindrical bodies, two pairs of legs per body segment, and herbivorous. "In fact, they are more like decomposers – they do well on rotting vegetation, wood, etc.--the scientific word for is 'detritivore.' Most millipedes are toxic if consumed, some even secrete a type of cyanide when distressed. The point being: don't lick one."
In contract, centipedes are venomous, fast-moving insects with large, formidable fangs, and one pair of legs per body segment. "They are highly carnivorous, although some will eat bananas. Go figure. And they are often high-strung and aggressive if provoked."

Bumble Bees and Spiders Don't Mix?
Bumble bees and spiders don't mix, you say?
Well, they will at the Bohart Museum of Entomology's open house from 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 26. The family-centered event, free and open to the public, takes place in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building on Crocker Lane, UC Davis campus.
Actually the theme is about spiders: "Arachnids: Awesome or Awful?" There you'll see black widow spiders, jumping spiders, cellar spiders and the like. But you don't have to "like" them as you do posts on Facebook!
You can also learn about bumble bees. Native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis, will be one of the tour guides. Thorp co-authored the newly published Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide, which is available in the Bohart gift shop. He can autograph your book and answer questions about how to attract bees to your garden.
Thorp was recently interviewed by Tom Oder of the Mother Nature Network on how to garden for bumble bees. So was Steve Buchmann, an adjunct professor in entomology and ecology at the University of Arizona.
Thorp told Mother Nature Network that some bumble bees are in very serious decline, and others are doing quite well.
So, how do you attract them to your garden? Buchmann was quoted as saying: "Gardening for bumblebees is similar to gardening for other bees and pollinators." To entice bumblebees to visit your garden, "plant mints, Salvia, Monarda, plants in the sunflower family and clovers."
Read Oder's article for more information.
And keep your eyes open for the soon-to-be-published California Bees and Blooms: A Guide for Gardeners and Naturalists, co-authored by entomologist Gordon Frankie of UC Berkeley, Thorp, and two others with UC Berkeley connections: photographer/entomologist Rollin Coville and floral curator Barbara Ertter.
As for Saturday, July 26 there won't be a vote on whether you like bumble bees or spiders better, nor will you be asked to sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" or "Baby Bumble Bee." It promises, though, to be fun and educational. Plus, you can enjoy the live "petting zoo," featuring 24-year-old Rosie the tarantula, assorted walking sticks, and the colorful Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Yes, they hiss.
The gift shop is also popular. You can browse through the books, jewelry, t-shirts, sweatshirts, insect-themed candy, butterfly houses, and insect-collecting kits.

Spiders and Spiders, Oh, My!
Neither will J. K. Rowling, author of the wildly popular Harry Potter series of books.
They hate spiders. In fact, by all accounts, they have arachnophobia, an intense fear of spiders that affects some 3.5 to 6.1 percent of the U.S. population.
No wonder the Bohart Museum of Entomology has themed its open house on Saturday, July 26: "Arachnids: Awesome or Awful?"
The event, free and open to the public, takes place from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Bohart Museum, located in Room 1124 of Academic Surge on Crocker Lane, UC Davis campus.
Many locally found spiders, including the black widow, jumping spider and cellar spiders--alive and specimens--will be exhibited. Want to know what the spider is that's dangling from your zinnias or crouched on a sedum or hiding in your woodpile? The Bohart Museum officials will tell you all about them.
Spiders are found throughout the world, except in Antarctica (where Timberlake and Rowling have probably pondered as suitable living quarters.)
A special attraction at the Bohart Museum will be Rosie, a 24-year-old tarantula reared by entomologist/Bohart volunteer Jeff Smith of Sacramento. Visitors are invited to hold it and photograph it.
Children and/or family activities are also planned, said Tabatha Yang, education and outreach coordinator at the Bohart.
Yang said some folks are "creeped out" by spiders while others are eager to see them. The open house will be an informational activity about them, but other insects will be there as well. In addition to its nearly eight million insects founds throughout the world, the Bohart houses live Madagascar hissing cockroaches and walking sticks, which visitors enjoy holding and photographing. A new addition is a Peruvian walking stick with red wings, yellow eyes and a velvety body.
This week is also National Moth Week.
The museum's gift shop, open throughout the year (credit-card purchases are accepted), includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, books, jewelry, insect-collecting equipment and insect-themed candy.

Don't You Just Love Those Dragonflies?
Don't you just love those dragonflies?
We watch them circle our fish pond, grab flying insects in mid-air, and then touch down on a bamboo stake in our yard to eat them. Some dragonflies stay for hours; others for what seems like half a second. Some let you walk up to them and touch them. Others are so skittish that they must have once encountered a nasty predator with a bad attitude and a big appetite unfulfilled.
We've observed several different species in our yard (thanks to naturalist Greg Kareofelas of Davis, volunteer at the Bohart Museum of Entomology, University of California, Davis, for identifying the Sympetrums and the "widow skimmer," Libellula luctosa).
The ones we've photographed:
- Red flame skimmer or firecracker skimmer (Libellula saturata), a common dragonfly of the family Libellulidae, native to western North America.
- Variegated meadowhawk (Sympetrum corruptum), a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae, native to North America.
- Widow skimmer (Libellula luctuosa), part of the King Skimmers group of dragonflies that are found throughout much of the United States, except in John Denver territory (The Rockies). You can find them in parts of Canada, including southern Ontario and Quebec.
- Red-veined meadowhawk (Sympetrium madidum), found throughout much of the United States (Alaska, California, Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming) and much of Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan and Yukon)
Can you believe dragonflies were some of the first winged insects that evolved 300 millions years ago? And that the order they belong to, Odonata, means "toothed one" in Greek?
Can you believe that globally, we have more than 5,000 known species of dragonflies?
Can you believe that dragonflies eat only the prey they catch in mid-air? And that they grab them with their feet? Umm, dead bee on the ground? No, thanks!
Can you believe that dragonfly called the globe skinner has the longest migration of any insect—11,000 miles back and forth across the Indian Ocean?
For those and other interesting facts, be sure to read Sarah Zielinski's "14 fun facts about dragonflies" published Oct. 5, 2011 in smithsonian.com
For a close look at some of the Bohart Museum's collection of dragonflies, you can visit the insect museum, located in Room 1124 of the Academic Surge building on Crocker Lane, from Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. noon, and from noon to 5 p.m. (excluding holidays). Admission is free. You can even buy dragonfly-related items in the gift shop. That would include posters (the work of Greg Kareofelas and Fran Keller) and jewelry.
The Bohart Museum, directed by Lynn Kimsey, professor of entomology at UC Davis, houses nearly eight million insect specimens. And not just dragonflies, bees and butterflies. There are critters you've never seen before. And some, such as the Xerces butterfly (Glaucopsyche xerces), are extinct.
The Bohart's next weekend open house, the last of the 2013-2014 academic year, is Saturday, July 26 from 1 to 4 p.m. The theme focuses on spiders: "Arachnids: Awesome or Awful?" It's family-oriented and free and open to the public. (For more information contact Tabatha Yang, education and outreach coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com).

Plume Moth Fit to a 'T'
In some respects, the pterophorid plume moth is fit to a 'T.'
"The T-square shape is classic," says butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis.
"They always sit with their wings stuck out to the side like that," says Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and professor of entomology at UC Davis.
At rest, the plume moth (famlly Pterophoridae) holds its slender wings at right angles to body, giving it a T-shaped profile.
In his book, California Insect, UC Berkeley entomologist Jerry Powell explains why they're called plume moths..."because the forewings are deeply notched and the hindwings are divided into three linear parts, each with long scale fringes. When perched, the insects roll the forewings around the folded hindwing plumes, resulting in peculiar sticklike or craneflylike appearance, unlike any other moth."
Most are noctural and are attracted to lights, Powell adds.
Scientists report some 159 described species in North America alone and more than 30 in California.
In their larval stages, some plume moths are beneficial as biological control agents. And some are pests, such as the artichoke plume moth, the geranium plume moth and the snapdragon plume moth.
When you see them resting on a plant, however, the adults look a little like those wind turbines that stretch out in the hills of Rio Vista, Solano County.
The plume moth is tiny. It's shown here on the finger of native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis. (Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)

America's 10 highest-paid CEOs, each made more than $100 million lin the past year, according to a study by GMI Ratings released this week. Two of them made more than $1 billion.
Altogether, they made a combined $4.7 billion. Of that total, about $3.3 billion was associated with stock options.
The study looked at nearly 3,000 proxy statements filed between September 2012 and September 2013., in addition to salary and benefits.
It rated executives based on "compensation that has actually been received by the CEO, rather than any notional estimates, accounting costs, or other uncertainties."
Here's a look at the 10 highest paid CEOs in the past year.
10. Frank J. Coyne
Verisk Analytics, Inc. VRSK, -0.44%
Coyne made the list by exercising options in his final year as CEO, according to GMI. Coyne began 2012 holding more than 3 million options with strike prices of $3.10 and $8.40. Over the course of 2012, he exercised 2.4 million options for a profit of $95.7 million at prices between $45 and $65.
9. Marc Benioff
Salesforce.com, inc. CRM, -2.49%
Benioff exercised 3.3 million options for a profit of $106.3 million over the course of the year. It was the first set of options he'd exercised in more than five years. Benioff owns more than 42 million Salesforce.com shares, or 7.2% of all shares outstanding, according to GMI.
8. Howard Schultz
Starbucks SBUX, -0.88%
Schultz, the eighth-highest earning CEO of the year, made more than $103 million on the exercise of 2.8 million options in 2012, according to GMI. Schultz was also granted nearly $25 million in new equity in 2012.
7. Gregory B. Maffei
Liberty Interactive US:LINTA US:LINTB
Maffei appears twice on GMI's list because he serves as CEO of two separate companies. In his role as CEO of Liberty Interactive, Maffei exercised 12.3 million options for a profit of more than $132 million. The exercise arose from a newly designed "Option Modification Program," constructed by the compensation committee for tax purposes, the researchers said. Maffei also received a base salary of $778,641, a cash bonus of $2.64 million and perquisites worth $193,395.
Maffei was granted an additional $42 million in options at Liberty Interactive in 2012
6. Edward W. Stack
Dick's Sporting Goods DKS, -0.58%
Stack exercised nearly 4 million options in 2012 for a profit of more than $137 million, according to GMI. The options had a strike price of $11.44 and were due to expire in October 2013. Shares of Dick's Sporting Goods were trading around $50 when the options were exercised between May and September of 2012.
5. Tim Cook
Apple Inc. AAPL, +5.65%
The equity grants that earned Cook nearly $140 million in restricted stock profits in 2012 were the remainder of grants from 2008 and 2010. When he became CEO in 2011, Cook was granted 1 million restricted stock units. Those awards won't begin to vest until 2016, according to GMI.
4. Gregory B. Maffei
Liberty Media LMCA, -3.21% LMCB, +2.49%
Maffei's second appearance on the list is for his role as CEO Of Liberty Media. Maffei made more than $250 million by exercising 3.1 million Liberty Media options in 2012, according to GMI. That was about half of a grant of nearly six million options he received in 2009.
Maffei's combined compensation from Liberty Media and Liberty Interactive was more than $391 million. That would have ranked him third on the list overall.
3. Mel Karmazin
Sirius XM Radio Inc. SIRI, -2.20%
Karmazin's last year at Sirius was certainly a profitable one. At the beginning of 2012 he held 120 million options at a strike price of 43 cents, according to GMI. He liquidated the options between April and November of 2012, profiting more than $244 million.He also got a $9.5 million discretionary bonus.
2. Richard D. Kinder
Kinder Morgan, Inc. KMI, -2.52%
Kinder made restricted stock profits of more than $1.1 billion in 2012 as he converted more than 30 million Class B shares into common stock, according to GMI. Kinder does disclaim about a third of these as shares with value realized by a limited partnership. Kinder made nearly $60 million in profits from vested stock in 2011.
1. Mark Zuckerberg
Facebook, Inc. FB, +0.61%
Zuckerberg tops the list with $2.28 billion in total realized compensation. He exercised 60 million stock options, granted in 2005 and fully vested by 2010, at a strike price of six cents. When Facebook went public in May 2012, Mr. Zuckerberg profited more than $2.7 billion dollars on the difference between the six cents strike price on 60 million options and the company's IPO share price of about $38. Zuckerberg immediately sold $1 billion worth of shares at the company's IPO. Zuckerberg's second largest form of compensation was perquisites totaling about $1.2 million. They included personal use of company aircraft and security costs.

Full detailed profile on Franco Played by Roger Howarth on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Roger Howarth (ABC)
Actor: Roger Howarth Who played Franco over the yearsRoger Howarth (May 13, 2013 - present) Useful information on Franco* Reclusive renowned artist. |
Current: Artist
Franco secretly witnessed Jason, Max and Milo disposing of Claudia's body and sent photos he recreated of Claudia's death to Jason.
Dressed like a vagrant while painting the graffiti sign C077X around Port Charles, he eagerly watched as Jason, Sonny, Dominic, Max and Milo engaged in a shootout with Joey Limbo. After the Corinthos clan left the scene, Franco put his foot on a still breathing Joey Limbo's neck until he died and then repositioned the mobster's body.
After the Joey Limbo incident, Franco changed and attended his art opening filled with crime scene reenactments, which Kate and Maxie were organizing for Crimson. Maxie was charged with making sure Franco was kept happy, but couldn't get Jason to agree to an introduction with the artist. Franco took Maxie to his loft where he blindfolded her, took photos of her in a chalk outline and then slept with her.
He tried to get Jason to bond with him as a fellow 'artist' but Jason wanted nothing to do with him. He eventually got Jason to visit him by sending him a photo of Michael standing over Claudia's dead body. When Jason still refused to play his games, Franco kidnapped Sam and Lulu and kept them in different locations where bombs were set to go off. He eventually told Jason their whereabouts, but made him choose who to save since he only had time to get to one woman. Jason went to Sam, but called Dominic and told him where Lulu was. Franco left town, after blowing up his loft, and sent Jason a DVD as a final message.
Months passed without a word from the deranged artist, but when Michael went to prison, his tormentor Carter told Jason, "Franco says hi," just before he died. Then Dante, Carly and Maxie received crime scene photos from him in the mail and he was spotted lurking outside Jason's building posing as a homeless man.
During his next stint, Franco lured Jason and Dante to the MoCA art museum in Los Angeles, where he appeared to fall to to his death. That was not the case however. Franco then kidnapped Aiden to give to his mother to raise, but Lucky rescued the boy.
Franco's next appearance came during Brenda's wedding to Sonny. He took credit for the bomb that enabled the Balkan to grab Brenda. He sent some menacing messages in the ensuing months and then showed up in Hawaii during Sam and Jason's honeymoon. He drugged the couple separately and brought Jason to a locked room. Franco forced Stone Cold to watch on a monitor as he made it look like he raped a passed out Sam. After Jason hunted him down, he shot him and burned him. However, Jason was not thorough enough and Franco escaped, only to return to town with a different face to stake his claim on the Quartermaine fortune.

Ava, Franco, Julian and Sonny are in a van on their way back to Port Charles. As Nina and Franco argue with one another, Julian tries to call Lucas to warn him about Fluke's plan.
Ava and Madeline are led outside of Pentonville to the police van. Ava freaks out when she sees the mustachioed driver is the guard who tried to kill her. She starts banging on the prison door as Madeline is taken to the van. The guard explains to Ava how he is going to cover up her demise. Sonny, Franco and Julian show up in cop uniforms and knock the cops out. Ava's nervous. Maddy is not happy. She refuses to add to her sentence. They leave her behind as some cops rush out. They drive off.

Gasthaus Wild
Formerly a wine tavern and now a modern take on the traditional beisl, or pub, Gasthaus Wild serves traditional Viennese fare in a welcoming, neighborhood-like atmosphere. The interior is dominated by sturdy, dark wood tables and chairs, and yellow walls brighten the space. Although the menu changes regularly, schnitzel with potato salad and schinkenfleckerl, or pasta squares filled with ham and cabbage, remain favorite dishes. The restaurant has an extensive Austrian wine list to complement the traditional fare.

Delhi's insomniacs love this super-bright, tiny 24-hour coffee shop. The blinding-yellow striped wallpaper, vintage French-colonial posters, and distressed-yellow tables are a perfect cure for jet lag. The menu wears several hats, mainly North Indian and European, and everything is cheerfully presented. Vegetarian options are many, including tasty paneer dishes, mushroom crepes, and sweet corn soup. The chote miya biryani (lamb in seasoned rice) is rich and filling
and the risotto with chicken and asparagus is very good too.

Look for Fiskars shears (with mightily sharp needle points) and do the cut over a bright lightbox. Steady, confident hands will do it. Of course less of a margin for stuff ups when cutting 35mm than 120.
Fiskars can be bought from hobby shops that have stuff for sewing. I have had mine for more than 15 years.

Therapy is something that has to go with the treatment or rehabilitation of any physical, mental or behavioral problems encountered by any individual. By acne therapy, we mean, healing, curing and providing remedies from the source. There are plenty of new acne therapies introduced in the medical industry. They provide state-of-the-art breakthroughs that would surely help you out with your acne problem right down from its roots. The concepts behind these therapies are simple, that is to control oil production in the body and to clear other residues that have accumulated within the pores. Blue Light Therapy This blue light procedure helps you get rid of your acne by eliminating the bacteria causing acne in your skin. There are two basic procedures to this therapy, namely:
Light or laser therapy This is one of the most popular acne therapies and has been in existence for quite some time now. The procedure guarantees reduction and removal of both acne and the scars associated with it. Some other things that make the therapy successful are:
Microdermabrasion This treatment is known to reduce facial line and wrinkles and to this day has also been used for acne treatment. The procedure involves placing of crystals to exfoliate the face of the patient. The treatment is done using a brush to sweep off the crystals. This procedure, compared to blue light therapy which can be done home, should be done by experts in order to avoid side effects. The introduction of medicinal breakthroughs in the market helped eliminate the acne problem. The acne therapies have begun gaining recognition for themselves, thus, providing good outcome for those who use them. Tired of that Damn Acne? <===== |

Rachael Ray's Wackiest Named Recipes
Top 10 Wackiest-Named Rachael Ray Recipes
Top 10 Wackiest-Named Rachael Ray Recipes
43 years ago today, Rachael Ray was born in Glen Falls, NY. While she's probably not ringing in the year with another skydiving trip, the 30 Minute Meals and talk show star is doubtless just as campy as ever. The words she's introduced to the English language, like "yum-o" and "EVOO," may have you rolling your eyes, but American kitchens (and vocabularies) certainly wouldn't be the same without her. Happy 43st, Rachael — here's a salute to your corniest recipe titles.
Food Network

I'm not a fan of her show (she's too manic, it stresses me out!), but I actually love her magazine. It's FULL of recipes, and they are things I would actually want to make! I'm actually thinking about subscribing.
5 years
Oh Rachel Ray, she's a little much at times but I still love her and her shows. I've been watching 30 minute meals from its debut, she's awesome.
5 years
I think American kitchens would pretty much be the same.
I think you can usually make meals in 30 minutes already. And I don't really feel that she's inspired that many people to take up cooking often/daily by pointing that fact out.
5 years
Just an FYI...it's Glens Falls, not Glen Falls...I know, I'm from that area too...
5 years
I'm with Florida Snow and Snarkypants. I have a hard time watching her show, too. She's too manic for me.
5 years
i was reading those names and hearing her annoying voice saying them. arg. now i have a headache.
not really, but i cannot stand her voice or the way she tries to be all cutsey.
5 years
cheesy names, yes, but its damn good food. though sometimes I watch the show on mute :)

In reply to Monica Williams's post on Mon 25 Aug 2008 :
Monica, far be it from me to have the first word on critiquing someone's work-in-progress trailer, but since no one else seems to be commenting on it, i'll go ahead and take a shot...
First of all, I think your concept is really interesting and compelling. Exploring the concept of evil is one of the things that most of today's documentaries have NOT done. Most of the docs that are coming out deal only with the personal stories in the aftermath of great evil (e.g. WAR DANCE, LOST BOYS OF SUDAN, etc.) So your doc certainly is timely and fills a void.
The most intriguing section of your trailer deals with Adolf Eichmann and the analysis of how his "banal personality" co-existed with his key role in the Holocaust. The archival footage here is strangely riveting and Susan Neiman's commentary gives pertinent information.
Looking at the trailer as a whole, however, I have to say that I didn't find the other sections as interesting or as well constructed. The one big problem – and I don't know how you get around this – is that Susan's voice and presence don't play that well on-screen. Her thoughts are often deep, but just not well-communicated. I feel like she is constantly droning on and sometimes a bit too pleased with her own insights. Tighter editing of her VO would probably help a lot so that we only hear her most salient points.
Also, you use a lot of classical paintings to illustrate your points but a lot of them fall flat because it's not very clear why you are using them. For instance, during the montage where "Sympathy for the Devil" is playing, there's one painting of a naked man with a protractor-drawing tool – what is he doing and why are we watching this? It may be obvious to you, but to the untrained viewer, we have no idea.
There are a number of technical points too that you should be aware of. The opening text animation is really clunky and you'll lose a lot of credibility right from the start if this is the first thing the viewer sees. Generally, text should not "bump" into other text unless you are trying to communicate something comical. A simple fade-in of text is the best approach here. Your other uses of motion graphics, especially with pictures, looks very amateurish as well. I realize you are probably doing everything yourself, but you need to either keep everything absolutely simple (and static), or hire a decent motion graphics artist who can perform the camera moves more elegantly (using AfterEffects). Lastly, the odd camera angles and shaking during Susan's interview don't leave a positive impression of the production.
My question to you would be: who is this trailer meant for? If it's meant to raise money, it has to be a LOT shorter and more tightly edited. If this trailer is for broadcasters, you have to make a better case for what your story is, and why Susan's train of thought will keep an audience engaged. Right now, I have no sense of what the finished film will be like; if it's just a slew of Susan's talking-head amidst an avalanche of archival footage, few will be interested. You can certainly "lead" the viewer with questions in your trailer, but you have to make them more regular and build on each other.
I'm sorry if my comments sound at all harsh, but I wanted to be completely honest with you. Again, your concept is rock-solid. It's the execution that is troublesome right now. If I were to suggest a possible structure for you, it would be something like:
1) Introductory montage – "Sympathy for the Devil"
2) 20-second sound bite from Susan on "What is Evil?"
3) Very brief exploration of Adolf Eichmann's case
4) Closing montage with some kind of cliffhanger question (e.g. "Can Evil ever be stopped?")
Anyways, best of luck with this project and any others you take up in the meantime...
Skyler, I'd say Adobe is the more pro type program. I've never heard of the Sony Version. But, I think Adobe Elements will get your feet wet, and then if you need something more you can get Pro.
Thanks so much Chris! That is what I needed. With the paintings I was trying to show that our ideas about the nature of evil have evolved over time, from Adam and Eve in the Garden to Demons, and from the Lisbon Earthquake (which was thought of as evil) to Auschwitz – I can see how this is not clearly communicated however. With actual money I'm hoping to have better quality images and text animation. The two opening quotes are lines from two opposing philosophers that formed the shape the Enlightenment would take. I think I just need another quote altogether – the bump is quite awkward – but I was trying to show that these ideas were in opposition to each other, forming the doubt and optimism that surround thinking about problem of evil throughout the modern world. I will also have more talking heads so ideally, Neiman will not carry the whole thing. I will try to shorten it, though I'm running out of volunteer hours from my editor :-) I'm hoping investors will forgive me the lower quality of this edit and understand that it will be better with money. Thanks again very much for analyzing this in such detail – I will try to apply your suggestions!
Oh – and the naked guy really does have significance, but I guess only to me! It's a painting by William Blake of Newton figuring out some major laws of the universe. During the Enlightenment, the philosophers thought that if Newton could come up with that, then human beings could come up with an explanation of why there is so much suffering and evil on earth – and then they went looking for the "Newton of the Mind" who they decided was Rousseau! But again, I understand that it doesn't make sense and is just plain awkward in the trailer – Darn!
I got a chance to watch your 'trailer' last night. It is more of a treatment, and I think it works really well as a fundraising video. First off, your choice of a subject to interview was great. She had the perfect voice, as well as zeal to make it sound really intriguing.
The piece is pretty good on its own as is, as a short. I didn't know where you were going with this when you first started talking about it. KNOWING EVIL could be so many things. I was surprised by your treatment of Bush as well as 9/11. It seems that 'evil' is a continuum. Does the ends justify the means? Is there some external evil, or do we create the notions of good and evil? Is it evil to kill a human, but not an animal. If not, why is it not ok to kill a human. What if there were or were not a God, would that change what evil is, as proposed by EXPELLED the documentary purporting Intelligent Design.
This piece really got me thinking. I thought I'd throw some at you just to let you know.
Thanks Jason! I'm glad that you liked it – it needs a lot of work still but I'm hoping it works to get me to the next phase. I really appreciate the feedback and your thoughts. What I hope for the film is that it might provide clarity as this is such a murky topic and so tricky to think about.
Now that Monica's a member, discussion of her trailer can migrate to the Works In Progress topic. Congrats on making the big leap, Monica.
Thanks Doug! Peace out enthusiasts! :-)
In reply to Skyler B's post on Mon 25 Aug 2008 : As one who has used PCs for almost 20 years and who never cared anything about Macs, I have to tell you that editing on a PC is more aggravation than it is worth. I used Premiere, Premiere Pro, blah blah blah. You will have program crashes, system crashes, conflicts, on and on. Buy a Mac and get Final Cut Studio. Yes, it is a lot more of an initial investment but I cannot tell you how many hours – days – weeks I WASTED with PCs and editing.
Do I like the Mac better than the PC? No, not really. I have trouble navigating the interface and overall, to me it is just a machine. But I will admit that I have now owned it for one year, never opened the case, have had a few crashes and a few program lockups but I have never had any data destroyed, lost or corrupted. I have never booted the computer and ended up in Limbo. Equally important is the Final Cut (and everything that comes bundled with it) is FAR superior to Premiere. In this case, I do believe you get what you pay for.
I'll be curious if others agree with this. In any event, good luck.
There are plenty of working systems on the Windows platform. Avid, Vegas Video, Edius, etc. I've used them all. Never had the issues you've had. This is likely due to making sure that there are no word processing applications or other non-essential editing tools on the same computer. People expecting to use one computer for everything will have nothing but trouble.
The other issue is cooling. Computers fail because they don't have adequate cooling especially ones with lots of drives. It's best to run an edit system so the ambient temperature is 62 degrees in the room where the system resides or that cold air is supplied to the computer. I often see people running systems that are operating in the 90 degree range. Expect failures as soon as the temperature rises.
hi, thanks to Eli for mentioning that the hvx p2 does not tape in hd, only sd, it finalized my buying or rather waiting to buy the new panasonic that comes out in october, 2 pounds lighter with no tape only p2 cards.My question, i read that it is very unlikely to get funding for a first doc, i'm wondering should i choose a different subject to my "dream doc" for my first?One that would be closer to home, aka, cheaper etc to get my feet wet?would an instructional film work?I made a 10 minute doc at school,hardly enough but how much experience is needed to seriously consider finding successful funding?Is it also having a executive director?I'm in for the long haul and i have already begun work on my "dream film" but i would like to be smart about getting some work and credit under my belt, so i can be taken seriously, cheers
Does anyone have a recommendation for the best and most reliable recordable DVDs? I do not want CHEAP. I want EXCELLENT! I need DVD-R inkjet printable.
Thanks, all!
Watershield discs by Taiyo-Yuden. Nice quality, pretty reliable, and inkjet prints that don't smear or wipe away...
I want to travel from the U.S. to Europe for a shoot (first port of entry is actually Morocco) with two checked bags of video equipment – a light and a lens. Do I need a carnet, or is a rental agreement sufficient for customs?
checking video equipment with the airlines is a bad idea. Theft rampant. Best to ship it or rent it there. If you do bring it, then you will need a carnet if it's pro gear. If it looks like a tourist camera you can sneak past. However, you should be aware that if you get stopped by customs you will be required to post the full retail value of the equipment in cash to enter the country with it. Negotiating can bring it down somewhat but there's never any guarantee. A carnet is cheap insurance.
i know i already asked this question but....i am totally lost on the whole archive business. I am looking for archives that represent women negatively in the meadia, ie...rap videos, make up ads, models ect. ect. I really need help plus, I don't know any of the rules/laws of archives.
Can someone please help?
Thanks a bunch!
Can anyone in the Michigan area direct me to get funding for my film?
Mark, you might start here: http://www.michigan.gov/filmoffice
Be sure to learn about the incentives Michigan is offering.
I'm not new to D-Word. I joined earlier this yr but I am a relatively new transplant to LA (been here since early 07). Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself: My name is Le Liu. My long-term objective is to write, direct, and produce my own feature docs, although as of late I've been thinking about TV and internet distribution a lot more.
My website reel is here if you wanna see my feature doc, my short films, or my speaking engagements :)
And this is the blog I keep for a long-term project I'd like to eventually launch....
I work M-F til about 7pm in Sherman Oaks (for the Emmy-nominated A&E show Intervention). But other than that, I've been wanting to make myself available to doc filmmakers who need help with whatever. I've done PA work, scheduling/coordinating, editing on FCP 3, public relations, film fest submissions, film fest boothing, and lots of other random stuff. At this point, I am mostly interested in development/funding so I can learn how to get my project off the ground (i.e. my blog) and into the real world of production.
In any case, if you're in the LA area and want an assistant (preferably paid, but I'll take whatever), feel free to CONTACT ME OFF-LIST.
Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times already, but is there a comprehensive web site that lists all organizations that have development grants for docs? I am starting to shoot my first doc and could use a grant or two ;-)
stefan, the grants section of the IDA site is not a bad place to start. it's not absolutely comprehensive but it has a lot of region-specific grants listed...
Hello everyone,
I was hoping to learn a little bit more about distribution companies. We currently have a film related to methamphetamine addiction and recovery that has gotten wonderful reviews and won numerous awards, and were looking into signing on with a distributor. What companies jump out at you as either being a good fit or have been a positive experience for you? Thanks for your help!
Hi, I hope my doubled intro will be deleted by you, the mentors, as I couldn't figure out how to delete my extra post.
done, laurie. you only have about 5 minutes to delete or correct a post yourself. whereas we almighty powerful hosts can delete anything at any time. wheeeeee!!!!!
We have a 90 minute doc shot and recently accepted into a couple "A" list film festivals. What we'd like to know is what sort of distribution deal we should be seeking at the festivals in the event the film wins or doesn't win awards. What kind of numbers should we be seeking for theatrical distribution? For television – HBO, Showtime, something like that? I know the best bet with theatrical is always trying to get more upfront rather than hoping for royalties down the line, but what ballpark figures should we be seeking?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
If it makes any difference, the doc is a direct cinema (verité) w/out narration, that is, plays out like a normal fiction film.
I just joined, and at the moment am trying to figure out some translator issues for the documentary I'm editing- lots of footage in Hmong! Would anyone know of any good Hmong translators what would be the best way to give HD footage to a translator? Disks? Hard drives??
Also, for traveling and documentary filmmaking abroad, I have some team members going to Laos. Would anyone know of a good 'fixer' in Laos?
Hoping to glean some knowledge regarding forming an LLC for a documentary.
Here's the back story:
Been working on a doc for almost a year now and I just got my fiscal sponsorship from the IDA. No doubt the dollars will be rolling in in no time (kidding kidding). But I AM hoping to do some serious fund raising and I want to make sure I protect myself financially.
The IDA fiscal sponsor form requires I submit a W-9 tax form with either my social security # or a Tax ID. Thus far I have merely opened a separate bank account and just keep track of finances with basic accounting software. Things seem to be getting more serious now and I'm considering starting an LLC.
Two questions:
1 – Has anyone with fiscal sponsorship from the IDA used their personal social security number? Did you encounter any problems submitting your taxes?
2- If I do decide to form an LLC, what are the advantages of forming an LLC for a general production company VS forming an LLC for a specific project. I hear a lot of people form the later.
Many thanks for any advise/ online resources you could point me towards.
Submit your short film to Pros And Con Games competition at Filmaka.com and you could win funding to direct your feature-length script! 15-20 filmmakers win $1500 to $4500 each month – 3 of those go on to compete for feature funding at the end of the year! Entries must be 1 to 3 minutes long and are due November 6, 2008. More info at
Hi, I'm a Los Angeles photographer looking to find a documentary film to do still photography. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good place to find a list of documentaries currently in production or starting soon. Any words of wisdom or advice would help greatly.

Hi, I'm working with my first ITVS contract and need some advice regarding how best to distribute the funds – through a fiscal receiver or my LLC.
My situation is a bit complicated because of the history of funding on the project. Prior to my ITVS contract, I used one fiscal receiver for State grants (NYFA) and a non-profit organization for NEA funds. (NEA changed their rules several years ago and only allows organizations to apply, not individuals with fiscal receivers). I signed off on my ITVS budget giving the non-profit organization's director a salary equivalent to cover fiscal responsibilities. What I completely forgot about was that NYFA requires that they be the only fiscal receiver. NYFA is now telling me that they will terminate my contract if I don't use them as the fiscal receiver. I don't have an additional 8% in my budget to spare to cover their fee (18,000). The only option I can think of in order to not breach my contract with NYFA would be to use my LLC for the ITVS funds.
Does anyone know if I could still pay people as independent contractors if I use my LLC? What if people are working at my office? – Won't they technically need to be on payroll? (I did not allow for payroll expenses in my budget).
The only people who would be working at my office on a regular basis for the year are editing assistants and the editor.
Please Advise.
Thank you!
Hi Everyone,
A friend suggested I create a sequence of "best shots" from my trip to Egypt. I guess this is under "research", "Egyptian Identity", silly ideas as to what that might be....misconceptions I've seen personally or in media/film, whether negative or positive where what interested me at first...am I mixed in there somewhere as Erica suggested a while ago?
A 41MB H264 QuickTime Movie (no sound) is at:
Judy, considering that you have an ITVS contract, you might want to consider applying for member status on this website – it will open up a lot more forums and chances to get more feedback on a question like that. That said (and not being an accountant/lawyer), my best advice would actually be to talk directly with ITVS. They obviously have a vested interest in you managing to finish your project, so they'll be able to better advise (or point you in the right direction of someone else who might) and from all accounts, are very helpful in general. My understanding of an LLC is that it's akin to any corporation, so you should be able to pay people the same way anyone with a company might – but, please, don't take my word on it as I'm not a lawyer/tax accountant, I just know that a lot of films are set up as LLCs and must also deal with this dilemma. Hope some of that is helpful and good luck!
judy, i think what eli says is right. i'm not quite sure why you would process your ITVS funds through a fiscal sponsor anyways – ITVS doesn't need a tax-deductible receipt from you. the only entities that go through your fiscal sponsor are 1) individuals who want to deduct their donations from their taxes; and 2) foundations or corporations who have a policy of only donating funds to non-profit organizations. so i think you have nothing to worry about...
for the record, i have an LLC and i pay my independent contractors through it. the question of whether your crew are considered employees has nothing to do with paying them through an LLC (or other such corporation). the employee designation has more to do with whether they are truly functioning independently from your constant supervision, and a few other key provisions that you can easily google...
Hi All;
I'm getting ready to do a documentary about leader dogs for the blind. This project will take about two years to complete. I was told to look for grant money but, don't have a clue where to start and this project will start in January 2009. I have most of the equipment because of video work that I've done before for example Canon XL1s cameras. I will also do all my own editing in FC studio. This is the first project of this size and if I can get it done right, the org. that I'm working with could get a lot of donations and help me as well.
Thanks for your time

Good morning Mansi;
Thanks you very much for this information. I'll check into all of this
Have a really great day!
Egyptian Identity V2 – 11+ minutes, subtitles begun, audio, very raw.
Not many responses (none actually!) on my last mentoring request, maybe this time will be different?
Thanks in advance
You know Doug, Yes! Feedback PLEASE!
I should have made it clear I was looking for feedback, but this was the mentoring section so I made some silly assumptions :)
Does anyone have any incite on the legality and public domain issues in using youtube-like videos posted on the web? I know that formally copyrighted material is a no go, but what if, say, I want to use a video of Joe-Sixpack (ahem) taken at a bar and posted by his girlfriend, Josephine. Any chance Joe can bust me on this? Thanks! Rob.
One of the dirty secrets of the legal industry is the concept of "exposure." It means how likely you are to be sued by someone, and how likely it will end up costing you loads of money.
In the scenario you described, I'd say your exposure was zero, meaning not to worry about Joe Six. Now, if you were Steven Spielberg then Joe Six (and his lawyer) would probably figure you are loaded and come after you. Conversly, if Joe Six actually turned out to be Joe Pesci, he might come after you (and not just with his lawyer).
So, no responsible person would condone or encourage you to break the law. But you got me instead, the realist. Bottom line: Joe Six CAN "come after you" but it's not likely he will, and if he did, you would get a letter telling you to cease and desist before appearing before any judge.
In reply to Sam Rabeeh's post on Tue 11 Nov 2008 23:18 UTC :
Sam: your description says "Raw video and sound" so are you asking for feedback on just your camera work and sound, not the editing?
In reply to Robert Shore's post on Wed 12 Nov 2008 :
One more thing about exposure. If you are going to use it in film that becomes well-known then your exposure increases. If it's for some fraternity gag film night then not likely. You getting the idea?
Hi D-Word,
I would like to get some advices or creative ideas on how to finance films through the internet.
Have you googled Sundance Documentary Fund? There are plenty of grants programs out there, but that's the first one off the top of my head, and it's actually VERY competitive. What you should also do (if you haven't already) is become a member of the International Documentary Association. They offer fiscal sponsorship to many indie docs, so you can accept donation$ through them!!! Check them out at:
If you wanna use that footage, you still need a release from the subjects who appear in it, including the Joe Schmoe who happens to be the bf of the girl who uploaded it. Also, as far as ownership goes, I think that could be a battle between the person who shot/uploaded it and Youtube, but I don't know of Youtube having any sort of exclusivity policy, so if you can get your hands on the original footage, use that instead. Youtube video quality sucks anyway!
Check out this blog from my friend. She's edited many major projects and has some good insight on how to get your film out there on the web.
Good luck to you guys!! Email me if you like'd more info!!!

President Obama's record on nominating federal judges lags behind those of his predecessors, and nowhere is his failure more glaring than on the prestigious U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Senate Republicans are pitching a shutout with Mr. Obama's nominees to the influential appellate court, long considered a training ground for the U.S. Supreme Court. Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., as well as past Chief Justices Fred Vinson and Warren Burger, served on the D.C. Circuit.
The court has four vacancies out of 11 seats, the highest vacancy rate of any federal appeals court, and Mr. Obama has the dubious record of being the only president to serve a full four-year term without successfully nominating a judge to that court. George W. Bush put four nominees on the bench; Bill Clinton had three
"It does seem that the D.C. Circuit is being singled out," Patricia Wald, former chief judge of the court, said in a discussion of the problem at the liberal Center for American Progress.
The battle is heightened because the court has jurisdiction to rule on the decisions of federal agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration, the National Labor Relations Board and the Environmental Protection Agency. It also handles a disproportionately large share of national security cases, such as questions regarding the detention of terrorism suspects.
Mr. Obama's latest setback at filling this court was March 22, when he withdrew the nomination of Caitlin Halligan, general counsel for the Manhattan district attorney's office, at her request. Senate Republicans, accusing Ms. Halligan of harboring an activist agenda, had blocked a vote on her nomination for the second time.
The president said that he was "deeply disappointed" and that the vacancies on the second most powerful court in the land were "unacceptable.
"He hasn't appointed anyone to that court yet," said Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond. "That's the major problem at the appellate level."
Mr. Tobias said the judicial vacancies — nearly 10 percent of federal judgeships nationwide are open — are being exacerbated by automatic budget cuts, known as "sequestration," that are trimming other court personnel.
"It's even more urgent to get the judges confirmed," Mr. Tobias said. "Sequester takes more resources away from the courts. It just puts more pressure on everybody in the system."
Blame on both sides
Observers say Senate Republicans and the White House share the blame for the slow pace of confirmations. The Senate has confirmed nine judges this year, and a White House official said these nine judges waited 144 days on average for a floor vote. President George W. Bush's nominees, by contrast, waited an average of 34 days for a floor vote at the same point in his presidency.
White House press secretary Jay Carney on Monday urged senators to confirm the president's new nominee for the D.C. Circuit, deputy solicitor general Sri Srinivasan, saying he has support from conservative legal standouts such as Paul Clement, Theodore B. Olson and Kenneth W. Starr.
"The D.C. Circuit, as you know, is often considered the nation's second-highest court, but it has twice as many vacancies as any other court of appeals, and its workload has increased by over 20 percent since 2005," Mr. Carney said.
David Baron, managing attorney for the nonprofit group Earth Justice, said the White House is guilty of a "failure in responsibility" by nominating only two candidates to the court in the first three years.
"I'm actually totally baffled by why the White House is so behind on sending names up to the Hill on this," he said during the Center for American Progress panel discussion. "They need to get on the dime now."
Mr. Baron also cast blame on "irresponsible Republican filibusters."
Democratic obstruction
Sometimes, the roadblocks Mr. Obama encounters are set up by members of his own party. When the Senate returns Monday from Easter recess, it is scheduled to vote on the nomination of Patty Shwartz for the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
She originally ran into opposition from Sen. Robert Menendez, New Jersey Democrat, who "blue-slipped" her nomination, a rarely invoked tactic in which a senator from a judicial nominee's home state can kill an appointment simply by failing to return a blue-colored form to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
At the time, Mr. Menendez expressed concern about Judge Shwartz's legal qualifications.
"Judge Shwartz did not adequately demonstrate the breadth of knowledge of constitutional law and pivotal Supreme Court decisions that we should expect from a U.S. Circuit Court judge," Mr. Menendez said in a statement last year.
But Mr. Menendez reversed his position after meeting with Judge Shwartz, saying she "adequately allayed my earlier concerns."
"Judge Shwartz satisfactorily answered questions covering important legal topics such as current law on the rights of corporations under the First Amendment, constitutional limits on Executive Branch power and the application of heightened standards of review under the Constitution," he said.
It's not clear how much pressure the White House exerted on Mr. Menendez.
Some reports said that the senator's real objection was to Judge Shwartz's longtime romantic relationship with James Nobile, head of the public corruption unit for New Jersey's U.S. attorney's office.
That office investigated Mr. Menendez in 2006, in the midst of his election campaign, over his involvement in a rental deal with a nonprofit group that received federal funds. No charges were brought. New Jersey's U.S. attorney at the time was Republican Chris Christie, now governor.
Mr. Menendez has denied the accusation that he was carrying out a grudge by initially blocking Judge Shwartz's nomination.
The White House has expressed frustration over the pace of judicial confirmations, but there are few signs that the logjam will break anytime soon.
"This is a problem that needs to be resolved for the sake of our judicial system, for the sake of a carrying-out of justice in our country in an expedited and deliberate manner," Mr. Carney has said.
The White House said 15 judicial nominees are waiting for confirmation. Of those, 13 were approved out of the Judiciary Committee unanimously, four would fill judicial emergencies, and six are represented by Republican home-state senators who support their nominations.

I know, I know – yet another post about dumb criminals. But hey, whose fault is it that there are so many?
So here's today's guest, Jon Reiter, with more of them.
Enter Jon:
Considering the popularity of television shows like truTV's World's Dumbest Criminals, plenty of Americans have a secret obsession with learning more about idiots with criminal intentions who botch the case, leave major evidence behind, or incriminate themselves in a variety of ridiculous ways.
Here are five stupid criminals that any attorney would be embarrassed to defend in court:
1. Note to self: Sharpies do not make good disguises.
Masks and bandanas seem to be the face-hiders of choice among most "successful" criminals, but the media is still laughing over two wannabe robbers from Tennessee who attempted to disguise themselves by drawing on their own faces with a black marker. Yeah, like that makes sense…
2. But it rang up $2!
William Keltner from Texas created headlines as well as uncontrollable laughter when he intended to get a bargain on a television set at Wal-Mart. The retail giant's loss-prevention team noticed that the savvy shopper removed the barcode from a $228 TV and replaced it with a barcode from a product costing just $1.17 before heading to a self-checkout lane. No wonder the register started flashing and warned him that associate assistance was necessary before the sale could be completed.
3. Hey, he's gotta learn how to drive anyway!
When 43-year-old Tennessean Randy Lewis got so drunk and high that he decided not to drive—perhaps his only wise decision of the day—he handed the keys of his 1995 Ford Windstar van to his elementary-school-aged son. The van flipped onto its roof after the 10-year-old hit speeds of over 90 mph. Three other children were in the vehicle along with the driver and his "responsible" father. The entire crew was treated for injuries at a local hospital, but the best part of this incident would have to be the attire that Lewis was wearing in his mug shot—a wrinkled T-shirt suggesting that one should 'Buy This Dad a Beer.'
4. Sorry, wrong number … wanna buy some drugs?
A 14-year-old Florida teen accidentally dialed a wrong number while making a call, something we're all guilty of from time to time. Rather than apologize and hang up like any sane person would do, he asked the person who answered if he'd like to buy some drugs. Bad idea … turns out the call's recipient was none other than a Gulfport Police detective, who was more than happy to make a purchase. When the duo arranged a time and place to meet, the teen and a companion who drove him to the site were both arrested.
5. Here's one status update you probably shouldn't make on Facebook.
When 26-year-old Cameroon-born Maxi Sopo falsely obtained over $200,000 in credit from banks, he maxed out the lines and headed down to Cancun. After committing bank fraud and escaping to paradise, he had the nerve to update his Facebook account with details of his new fun and frivolous life in paradise. The problem? One of his new Facebook friends was a former justice department official who quickly put two and two together and turned in the wannabe playboy.
There you have it—five of the dumbest criminals in recent history. While dirty deeds shouldn't be laughing matters, it's tough to keep a straight face when reading about folks like those mentioned above.

#4's 14-year-old is the reason the courts send underage culprits to family court.
Sigh. And the really scary thing is that this kid's girlfriend could be pregnant with his baby, and then we're in to the next generation!-
True, true!
Good grief! Two of these were from Tennessee, my home state. I'm really curious about the magic marker geniuses – seriously, did they look in a mirror and say, "Yep, nobody will know it's us!"
I do wonder what goes through people's minds. Maybe they simply missed their kid days playing Cowboys & Indians and painting their faces.
Very funny, laughing at stupid criminals is always so much fun. Markers as a disguise,huh? Guess those two were not too "sharpie."
Ha, guess not! But they were certainly two colourful individuals!
Yes, colorful and stupid which makes a great post.
I can't even believe some of these. Sharpies as a disguise? FB status updates about one's criminal antics? Guys like these must make cops' lives just a little bit more fun. Easy to catch and even easier to make fun of.
If I knew there's so much fun to be had catching criminals, I'd have chosen a different profession!
It's never too late. How are your hand-to-hand combat skills?…
I can use a hand to slap another hand, definitely! Maybe I*m cut out for this!
There you go!
