This mattress can sleep hot and wet. As, apparently, do many foam mattresses. Otherwise, the product to date seems as advertised; extremely comfortable (provided you like "hot and wet" sleeping), attractive and, thus far, durable. There was no appreciable odor, as suggested by the advertising. We purchased this unit in a, medically-recommended, "medium" firmness to meet various comfort and health requisites. Further, this mattress was purchased for use by a "fluffy" (over-weight) individual, which may contribute to some excess "cocooning" or sinking-in. At "ideal" body weight, I have slept on this mattress and find it "hot and wet" as well. As regards "hot and wet", we anticipated this and also purchased a latex topper and all-encompassing mattress cover. These additions helped allay the ventilating problems that seemed to foment the "hot" and "wet" conditions. Be certain you really want a 14-inch tall mattress. This can present a problem for shorter and/or less agile sleepers getting in and out of bed. If you have a sleeper of the "Princess and the Pea" persuasion this might be the mattress for you. It is deep and comfortable. This order was processed, shipped and arrived in short order. The product is well packaged, it is a bit heavy, as it should be, and is rolled up and bound tightly. Once unwrapped and unbound the mattress rather slowly uncoils to its proper size and shape ... sweet.
We purchased the medium (firmness) to replace a 10 year old conventional spring mattress. This thing is awesome! Incredibly comfortable and supportive. I like it better than our Tempurpedic mattress that cost about 8x the price (in a king size). I highly recommend this mattress without any reservation. Get it, you'll love it.
I absolutely, positively LOVE this mattress!! I got the twin xl size with medium firmness. It is super thick and very heavy. I haven't slept this great in YEARS. I have already recommended it to a bunch of my friends and family, but I'm not going to let them try it out. This one is ALL MINE! :-)
we are pleased with the whole experience. Shipping time was perfect, no odor with the mattress, height and firmness as promised. Buying a mattress on line can be scary. This and our other foam mattresses from O have been hugely successful. Isn't it nice when things go well? I think so!!!!
Great price for what you get. With that being said, it does get rather hot so be prepared to have a lighter blanket on you.
I ordered two of these. One soft and one firm. The mattresses were mislabeled. That's one of my biggest complaints. My mattress feels really good. Although we order the soft for my husband, it doesn't really feel soft and its not soft enough for him. It does make me wonder about if he got the right mattress with them being mislabeled and all in the first place. Maybe he received a medium instead of a soft, but with a no return policy, we're stuck. That's the major downside to this type of ordering. But as far as my firm mattress, I haven't slept this good in a long time!! Truly happy!
this matress is far more comfortable than tradional spring matress. it has soften a bit . probably should've goten firmer but we like it and sleep better. less back aches
This bed is so awesome! i switched from a innerspring mattress with a 1 inch memory foam topper. I just love this bed. i hardly ever wake up to roll over or change positions. I'm getting the best sleep ever! and i noticed my lower back doesn't ever hurt in the middle of the day anymore and its just so comfy it makes me wanna lay in bed all day
very comfy, good price,fast shipping. I will definitely come back and purchase again

We are the key to the city's success
Thursday, December 27, 2012
So here we are, in the final days of Sanford as we've always known it. When we wake up on New Year's Day — actually, when we ring in 2013 at midnight — we will no longer be residents of the Town of Sanford.
It is not enough to elect our leaders and expect them and our city employees to do it all. To be sure, we must keep our expectations of them high, as we are the ones who largely fund the local government with our taxes. However, for our city to shine, we must get involved.
Many of us begin a new year by making resolutions, all in the quest for self-improvement. We take into account the bad habits we want to kick, the parts of our personalities that might need adjustments, and the goals we wish to accomplish. This is all well and good. |

Ben Miller is a self–employed photographer who will be entering the Foreign Service this year.
Ramatu Bangura is a graduate student in international educational development and has worked as an outreach and educational services director for various nonprofits, most recently for an organization that provides services to sexually exploited and trafficked youth.
Ryan Reczek works for the American Cancer Society in sales and educational services.
Seth Burleigh is a direct marketing assistant for the marketing and communications department of the UCLA Extension School.
Todd Evans is currently in graduate school. He was previously the manager of public relations and investor relations at a small software company.
What skills and information used in college do you find yourself making the most use of?
Ben: I learned how the mass media and advertising works, which has allowed me to be successful in planning advertising campaigns for my own business.
Ramatu: The ability to write and think critically.
Ryan: I get the most use out of what I learned in my public speaking courses. I find what I studied in those classes not only influenced my public speaking skills, but also made an impact on my daily interpersonal communication abilities.
Seth: Working with others (specifically adults), computer skills learned from doing course work, time–management skills, Spanish skills, being able to link current events/issues with sociological history or reasoning.
Todd: The ability to write clearly and quickly.
How did you decide which field to go into?
Ben: I chose to pursue photography, simply because I loved it. I did not know how I would make money, but I knew I would work it out.
Ramatu: Through internships I learned that I enjoyed nonprofit work. Through nonprofit work and starting my own organization, I learned that I wanted to work for nonprofits that focused on issues of gender and feminism.
Ryan: Working in the nonprofit cancer-related world was a direct result of an internship I had in school. I spent two and a half years after college with the organization that I interned with, and today I work for the American Cancer Society spreading preventative health information throughout the Philadelphia area.
Seth: I knew I wanted to go into business, but not the number-crunching side (I don't like math), so basically the thinking side of business, which is marketing (among other areas).
If you went straight into the workforce after receiving your bachelor's degree, do you wish you had attended graduate school first? If you went to grad school, do you wish you had worked first?
Ben: I want to get a MA someday, but I want to be really serious when I go back. I think that anyone who goes straight for their master's may be missing a lot of real-world experience, and may end up in a career that doesn't actually suit them well.
Ramatu: I believe very strongly that no one (with a few exceptions like law and medical school) should go on to graduate school immediately after receiving a BA. Adding more debt and a graduate degree on top of something you find out later you don't want to do can be very limiting and discouraging.
Ryan: I went straight into the workforce, and I wouldn't change that for anything. I wanted to make sure my field was for me by getting professional hands-on experience before I attended graduate school.
Seth: I don't wish I attended graduate school, because if I do go back to school it will be for my MBA, and I need to get some work experience before that.
Todd: I am in grad school now, and I worked for six years before I went back. People should definitely work before they go back; it's a waste of money and time to go back and have no reference for the real world (unless you want to be in academia forever).
What is the number-one bit of advice you wish you were given before you entered the job market?
Ben: Only go for jobs that you really want. If you go for jobs you don't want, the employers will see it written on your face, and you will not get them anyways. Even if you do get them, you will not be happy. So do what you love.
Ramatu: Before getting into the job market, look to get experience any way that you can (i.e., volunteer, intern, start your own [business]). Also, interview your prospective employers just as they are interviewing you. You will spend most of your waking hours there. Make sure it's where you want to be.
Ryan: Be patient. Sometimes the hiring process can take months, especially at larger companies.
Seth: It will take longer than you think—and even though you will get discouraged, something will come along.
What was your first job out of college?
Ben: I was a freelance photographer, and had a part-time job at a photo studio. The pay was not high, and I worked a ton, but I learned a lot about the business, and I had a lot of fun.
Ramatu: When I was a senior in college I started a girls' organization in DC and ran that program for two years after college.
Ryan: My immediate first job was working as the interim marketing manager at a boutique hotel. I was recommended to the owner of the hotel by his brother whom I interviewed with at another company.
Seth: The one I am at now, a direct marketing assistant at UCLA Extension School. I found it via Craigslist.
Todd: I was an account executive at a public relations agency; I had interned there for 18 months prior to graduation.
What do you like most about your current role?
Ben: I have absolute power and flexibility. If I want to go on a vacation for two months, I need only ask myself. The money is pretty good as well.
Ramatu: I love being a student again. I also feel passionate about issues of gender-based violence and love that my work allows me to fight the good fight everyday.
Seth: The laid-back academic environment—not tight and corporate. I'm learning about different things each day.
Todd: Being a resource and spokesperson.
What mistake do communications grads often make when applying for jobs?
Ben: Most employers know that communications is an easy major, so you need to have other experience to show that you can actually do the job for them.
Ramatu: Not paying attention to what story their resume tells. When you take a job or leave a job, make sure that the title and your tenure at the organization say what you want it to say. Moving around too much makes you look unreliable. Staying too long in the same position makes you look unambitious.
Ryan: As a person who hires employees, the biggest mistake I see is when a communications major doesn't specify what exactly they studied. Communications is an incredibly broad field, and you need to be able to tell a potential employer, "I studied public relations and public communication" or "I focused my efforts in the area of marketing and media studies."
Seth: I can't speak for all grads, but I know that I underestimated the job market and the ability to find a job.
Todd: Not having any quantitative skills. Even if you don't have a financial or quantitative job, it helps to understand finance and the markets.
What suggestions do you have for communications major entering the job market?
Ben: Theory is important, but so is practice. If you are in interested in a field, get some practical experience under your belt before graduation.
Ramatu: Use internships to explore your professional interests. You can save a lot of time if you can get some sense of where you would like to be professionally before you graduate.
Ryan: I always recommend taking a leadership role in a major student organization. Having leadership experience before you leave college will help improve your odds of getting a job befitting of your desires and skill. Then after college, find the job you want and go after it with gusto.
Seth: Be persistent when looking for a job. It may be easy, but it may also take a while.
Todd: Get in every day 30 or 60 minutes early and read. To get ahead, it helps to be the most knowledgeable.

I agree, the term "dross" for me was not exactly something worthless -- we got it delivered from the coal man and paid for it!
He delivered bags of "coal" -- biggish chunks which were used in the fireplaces throughout the house, and "dross" were the largest bits, which were about walnut size. Both had coal dust on them. The "dross" was used in the kitchen "range" or oven, which stayed on day and night, heated the kitchen, heated a water tank and had two ovens for cooking in. That worked only on burnable waste and this famous "dross," until we went smokeless.

BRAVE JOURNEYS: Profiles in Lesbian and Gay Courage
By David Mixner and Dennis Bailey
Bantam Books, August 8, 2000
Just in time for the 2000 election season, David Mixner, once called by Newsweek "the most powerful gay man in America", has offered us an astonishing new book "BRAVE JOURNEYS: Profiles in Lesbian and Gay Courage". These inspiring life narratives written by Mixner (with collaborator Dennis Bailey) provide a bracing challenge to lesbian and gay citizens as we face our political reality in the new millennium.
"Brave Journeys" focuses an in-depth eye on six crucial examples of lesbians or gay men facing their fears and fighting for justice: Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, the San Francisco couple who founded the first lesbian organization, The Daughters of Bilitis. Bostonian Elaine Nobel, the first openly gay person to be elected to state office in the Unites States. Famed British actor Sir Ian McKellen, who came out as a gay man, and an activist, on the BBC. Roberta Achtenberg, whose cabinet-level appointment in the Clinton administration was attacked with homophobic venom by Jesse Helms. Tracy Thorne, the U.S. Navy fighter pilot who outed himself on national television and was forced to leave the military. And finally, Hispanic-American Dianne Hardy-Garcia, the executive director of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Lobby of Texas who fought against the explosion of hate crimes against gay people in her state. As Mixner says in Brave Journeys, "These dedicated trailblazers never set out to be heroes. Rather, they felt that circumstances left them no choice but to stand up and be counted, to join selflessly in the fight against bigotry and discrimination. In espousing human dignity, championing the disenfranchised, and confronting injustice, these leaders embody the best of American values - honesty, compassion and tolerance."
Mixner, of course, knows what he is talking about. Since the 1960's he has been an active participant in the fight for human rights in our country. From his involvement in the anti-war movement to his leadership of the Great Peace March to his unique position as a long time friend and ally of Bill Clinton, Mixner has been at the center of the struggle for justice. Perhaps because of the political acumen derived from his long history of activism, Mixner is able to tell these stories in "Brave Journeys" with great drama and a finely honed eye for the social history and context of the time. Whether cannily placing the first meeting of the Daughters of Bilitis in the same cultural moment of 1955 that Disneyland opened or de-constructing the political cynicism of Governor George W. Bush as he does everything possible to stop Diane Hardy-Garcia from passing Hate Crimes Legislation in the Texas Legislature, Mixner's unerring sense of historical and political reality is impressive.
Hannah Arendt, the famed 20th century philosopher, wrote of the "banality of evil" in her examination of how average people can be swept up by hatred and bigotry. Mixner poses a compelling flip side to that coin in "Brave Journeys" -- the completely extraordinary miracle of the courage the lesbian and gay community continues to find from within to fight for equality. I began speaking with David Mixner about his book not long ago at a moving birthday tribute to Torie Osborn, former head of both the L.A. Lesbian and Gay Center and NGLTF, and also clearly another one of our community heroes. With the beautiful night-time display of the lights of Los Angeles basin spread out before us, we began a conversation about the power of individual lesbian and gay people to claim power and effect change.
David, the lesbian and gay community has so many stories and lives that are filled with courage and vision. It must have been both an inspiring and daunting task to regard this rich legacy and manage to choose seven individuals. What guided your decisions for these profiles in lesbian and gay courage in "Brave Journeys"?
You are absolutely right. There are so many stories of courage and that is why we wrote the book to pass on to future generations that this world that they live in was created at great price by some heroic individuals. I was astounded myself at the number of choices and stories that we had to narrow down to put in the book. I realized that this tribe, this community, has evolved from a magnificent history. In our research, we found that lesbians role had been under represented and we wanted to be help correct that. For example, almost everyone in the community knows of Harvey Milk's vision and courage and sacrifice but their knowledge of Elaine Noble who was elected before Supervisor Milk is not as well known. We also picked stories that chronologically tells our story from mid-century on.
Were there life-stories that were particularly hard to leave out of "Brave Journeys"?
We actually had written an entire story on Bayard Rustin, the famous African-American civil rights leader, and I loved it. Unfortunately our publisher took it out because so many great books are about to be released on his life. We also left out many incredible stories that have been told in one form or another. I really wanted to include one of the young students who in high school are taking up the banner but we only had so much space.
In your many years of community service you have witnessed first-hand many of our movement's advances and defeats. How different is it now to fight for justice for gay and lesbian people as compared to Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon founding the first lesbian organization in the US, the Daughters of Bilitis, in the 1950's?
When you realize that our meetings had to be held with blinds pulled down or our mailing lists hid in trunks of cars to prevent the police from finding them or that people had forced lobotomies or police raided fundraising events you can't imagine it getting worse. We have made extraordinary progress but we still have young students being beaten in high school, people losing their jobs, the numerous cases like Matthew Shepard and so many things to keep fighting. Hate doesn't take a holiday or know a decade. We always must be vigilant against it.
As you researched and explored these truly heroic stories, what did you discover about the particular chemistry of what manages to call up the courageous from an individual gay or lesbian person?
I think individuals deciding they can't live in the closet any longer or live with fear. They rather face danger and an undecided fate than live a lie, live in fear or deny their gifts to society. It is sheer determination to live life honestly with great dignity. All of our subjects we interviewed were filled with dignity and integrity. We were so fortunate to have been able to hear first hand their stories. The other common thread we found with all of them was that they were surrounded by incredible people. As we interviewed people, and we did extensive interviews, many of those who were involved in battles with our subjects themselves could have had a chapter in our book.
David, your own life has required you to find courage and resolve from within. Your role as both a crucial friend and gadfly of President Clinton is surely one of the major challenges you have faced in your life. How do you see the legacy of Clinton in relation to the lesbian and gay community?
It is no secret that I have differences with this Administration over gays and lesbians in the military and DOMA. But like any other group we can have differences with our leaders without being blinded to see the overall picture. President Clinton's work on behalf of Gays and Lesbians will be one of the great legacies of his Presidency. Everything he has done on behalf of the community has been a 'first' and 'historic'. He had done more for our community than all the Presidents combined and I predict that future generations of Gays and Lesbians will be hanging his picture in their homes and in our community centers.
As I finished your book (with the scary GOP convention on TV in the other room) I couldn't help being reminded of what a truly charged historical moment we are all in right now. What kind of heroism do you think we try to look for inside each of us as we face the new century and this hugely significant election in the next few months?
This election year is one of the most important of my lifetime. Never before can I remember a moment when the US Senate, The House of Representatives, The Presidency, and The Supreme Court have all been up for grabs. We could wake up the day after the election with all those institutions in the hands of a party hostile to our community or one that is flawed but basically friendly. It takes no courage to hide one's head in the sand and not to vote. It takes individual courage to become involved, to come out to family and friends so they are aware that the politicians are talking about their family, to give up time to protect our young and future generations. Many of my friends who have died of AIDS, some from the neglect of the Reagan Administration, would give anything to be here to fight, to vote and to obtain our freedom. It is totally cowardly to be sit on ones hands and commit the crime of silence. This election is crucial. Like the subjects in the book all individuals have to do is step forward and say, "Count me in". Then that individual has to organize, talk to their families and friends and give their time. I promise them that if they do step forward they will experience the most amazing thing in their life...an incredible community, a powerful inner peace, a new dignity and the honor of being a participant in the history of their times.

Rather unusual this, it's a puzzle game originally released on the Wii and developed in association with Steven Spielberg (yes, that one).
Inspired by Nokia's old embedded game Bounce, this is a rather strange 3D arcade game where you have to guide a red rubber ball through various mazes.
Brain Challenge provides a variety of different puzzle and logic games. The difficulty increases in conjunction with how well you do, and there are enough variations so that you never play the same puzzle twice.
This is sudoku of course, the game where you fill in the missing numbers. This version is part of the DChoc Café series, which tries to encourage community interaction as well as casual gameplay.
Reset Generation, previously codenamed Project White Rock, is a first party game published by Nokia and developed by RedLynx (who did Pathway To Glory and High Seize on the original gen N-Gage). It's a turn-based strategy/puzzle game based around parodies of famous gaming characters, and is available as both an N-Gage title and as a free web-based PC game too. There's an online multiplayer mode for up to four people, and an offline one-player story mode with cut scenes.
Snakes Subsonic is the sequel to Nokia's original N-Gage game Snakes, which was itself based a radical remake of the original 2D Snake game built into most Nokia phones.
As far as we know, this is actually based on the puzzle game Shanghai rather than the board game Mah Jong.
It's good old Tetris, the same block-spinning puzzle game that made so many people buy Game Boys.

There IS an online third party Transformer database already. It's at Wikialpha.
This book is not a database of all third party Transformer toys. It is a coffee table photo book of some pictures of some third party Transformers.
Scaleface wrote:There are over a hundred pages of content on wikialpha about third party Transformers. As for message boards, pleanty of those out there. I don't know what else you want.
Yes, any printed material will be dated, but that's the nature of printed material. No different from when someone released a printed book about Transformers. Some people will buy it, other will say it's dated. This book is not a reference work, nor it is the "latest thing", and yes, you could probably print a quarterly magazine on the subject of third party Transformers, but that's not happening yet. There was talk of a second volume, with the best of the new stuff, and some classics that got overlooked.
I did notice that one Headrobots toy seems to premier in this book, and there are a few prototype photos of unreleased toys like Terminus Hexatron and MMC's Talon.

Espionage thriller drama (1952 - 54)
Based on the book by real-life undercover agent, Matt Cvetic, I Was a Communist for the FBI was a dramatization of Cvetics life during the time he infiltrated the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA). In real life, Cvetic lost everything he loved--his wife, children, parents, friends--except for his country and love for that country is what kept him going.
The old time radio show stars Dana Andrews in the lead role and paints a picture of a man constantly under stress, constantly tested in his loyalty and devotion to the party. While the radio drama was just that, a drama, the stories of Cvetic constantly walking a fine line between discovery by the Communists and doing his job as best he could to gather information and throw up road blocks to their activity in the United States.
Cvetic lived in constant fear for nine years from 1941 to 1950 while he was a party member knowing that if he was discovered, he would pay with his life. His recruitment by the FBI was something out of a spy movie. After failing to gain entry into the US Army in 1941 because he was too short, he received a mysterious phone call. He met his handler exactly once and never met him again though submitted over 50,000 pages of reports.

One of my relatives have been under constant attack on craiglist rants and raves.
An Individual ia accusing them of being child abusers, child molestors, and of doing drugs in front of their children.

Winner at the Melplash Show 2011!
We are very proud to have won the Small Trade Stand Trophy at the Melplash Show, to round off a highly successful summer of events. The award is given to a local company whose staff have an excellent knowledge of their products, are not 'pushy' with sales and who have a beautiful pitch. Apparently we were spied on early in the day!
We were out and about a lot this year - the archive below outlines many of our events. Though the weather was patchy, we do live in Britain, so this didn't dampen the festivities. Our ever-burning stoves kept us warm in our awning and caravan during the frequent downpours , and meant we met many people who ducked in for shelter throughout events.
Fancy having Wild Stoves at your event, or hosting a workshop?
We are now taking bookings for festivals and events for 2012. Do get in touch to invite us to your event! Otherwise, look out for us; maroon 1950s caravan, Berber awning and smell of wood-cooked food...

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) is a United States federal law, located at 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506 (Pub.L. 105–277, 112 Stat. 2681-728, enacted October 21, 1998).
The act, effective April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction from children under 13 years of age. It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian, and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing to those under 13. While children under 13 can legally give out personal information with their parents' permission, many websites disallow underage children from using their services altogether due to the amount of cash and work involved in the law compliance.[1]
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has the authority to issue regulations and enforce COPPA. Also under the terms of COPPA, the FTC designated "safe harbor" provision is designed to encourage increased industry self-regulation. Under this provision, industry groups and others may request Commission approval of self-regulatory guidelines to govern participants' compliance, such that website operators in Commission-approved programs would first be subject to the disciplinary procedures of the safe harbor program in lieu of FTC enforcement. As of 17 May 2013, the FTC has granted safe harbor to five companies: Aristotle, Inc., PRIVO, TRUSTe, ESRB, and CARU.[2]
In September 2011, the FTC announced proposed revisions to the COPPA rules, the first significant changes to the Act since its rules were issued in 2000. The proposed rule changes expand the definition of what it means to "collect" data from children. The new rules would also present a data retention and deletion requirement, which would mandate that data that is obtained from children is only kept for the amount of time necessary to achieve the purpose that it was collected for and also add the requirement that operators ensure that any third parties to whom a child's information is disclosed have reasonable procedures in place to protect the information.[3]
The Act applies to websites and online services operated for commercial purposes that are either directed to children under 13 or have actual knowledge that children under 13 are providing information online. Most recognized non-profit organizations are exempt from most of the requirements of COPPA.[4] However, the Supreme Court ruled that non-profits operated for the benefit of their members' commercial activities are subject to FTC regulation and consequently also COPPA.[5] The type of "verifiable parental consent" that is required before collecting and using information provided by children under 13 is based upon a "sliding scale" set forth in a Federal Trade Commission regulation[6] that takes into account the manner in which the information is being collected and the uses to which the information will be put.
The FTC has brought a number of actions against website operators for failure to comply with COPPA requirements, including actions against Girl's Life, Inc.,[7] American Pop Corn Company,[8] Lisa Frank, Inc.,[9] Mrs. Field's Cookies, and Hershey Foods.[10] In September 2006, the FTC levied substantial fines on several enterprises for COPPA violations. The website Xanga was fined US$1 million for COPPA violations, for repeatedly allowing children under 13 to sign up for the service without getting their parent's consent.[11] Similarly, UMG Recordings, Inc. was fined US$400,000 for COPPA violations in connection with a Web site that promoted the then 13-year-old pop star Lil' Romeo, and hosted child-oriented games and activities, and Bonzi Software, which offered downloads of an animated figure "BonziBuddy" that provided shopping advice, jokes, and trivia was fined US$75,000 for COPPA violations.[12]
Other websites that were directed to children and shut down due to COPPA were: Kidswirl,[13] Skid-e-Kids,[14] and Imbee.[15]
In December 2012, the Federal Trade Commission issued revisions effective July 1, 2013, which create additional parental notice and consent requirements, amended definitions and added other obligations, for organizations that (1) operate a website or online service that is "directed to children" under 13 and that collects "personal information" from users or (2) knowingly collects personal information from persons under 13 through a website or online service.[16] After July 1, 2013, operators must:[17]
- Post a clear and comprehensive online privacy policy describing their information practices for personal information collected online from persons under age 13;
- Make reasonable efforts (taking into account available technology) to provide direct notice to parents of the operator's practices with regard to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information from persons under 13, including notice of any material change to such practices to which the parents has previously consented;
- Obtain verifiable parental consent, with limited exceptions, prior to any collection, use, and/or disclosure of personal information from persons under age 13;
- Provide a reasonable means for a parent to review the personal information collected from their child and to refuse to permit its further use or maintenance;
- Establish and maintain reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information collected from children under age 13, including by taking reasonable steps to disclose/release such personal information only to parties capable of maintaining its confidentiality and security; and
- Retain personal information collected online from a child for only as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and delete the information using reasonable measures to protect against its unauthorized access or use.
- Operators are prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an online activity on the child providing more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.[18]
According to a notice issued by the Federal Trade Commission an operator has actual knowledge of a user's age if the site or service asks for – and receives – information from the user that allows it to determine the person's age.[19] An example cited by the FTC includes, an operator who asks for a date of birth on a site's registration page has actual knowledge as defined by COPPA if a user responds with a year that suggests they're under 13. Another example cited by the FTC that an operator may have actual knowledge based on answers to "age identifying" questions like "What grade are you in?" or "What type of school do you go to? (a) elementary; (b) middle; (c) high school; (d) college."
In the changes effective July 1, 2013, the definition of an operator has been updated to make clear that COPPA covers a child-directed site or service that integrates outside services, such as plug-ins or advertising networks, that collect personal information from its visitors.[20] The definition of a website or online service directed to children is expanded to include plug-ins or ad networks that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information through a child-directed website or online service. Websites and services that target children as a secondary audience may differentiate among users, and are required to provide notice and obtain parental consent only for those users who identify themselves as being younger than 13.[21] The definition of personal information requiring parental notice and consent before collection now includes "persistent identifiers" that can be used to recognize users over time and across different websites or online services. However, no parental notice and consent is required when an operator collects a persistent identifier for the sole purpose of supporting the website or online service's internal operations.[22] The definition of personal information after July 1, 2013, also includes geolocation information, as well as photos, videos, and audio files that contain a child's image or voice.[23]
International scope[edit]
This is an American law, however, the Federal Trade Commission has made it clear that the requirements of COPPA will apply to foreign-operated web sites if such sites "are directed to children in the U.S. or knowingly collect information from children in the U.S." Since the law is US federal, it's applicable only to websites that run:
- by websites under US jurisdiction
- by websites which servers are hosted in US
- by websites which headquarters are located in the US territory.
- by commercial websites.[24]
However, the law caused huge international impact, so that even websites which are not either under US jurisdiction, or which servers or headquarters are not located into US, started blocking children under 13,[25] even giving up parental consent.[26] Staff of these websites explain their child blocking implementation by common sense of children - that they don't have enough common sense, or they can't make their own decisions. They compare the website accounts to documents like driver's license, National ID card (or a passport) etc.
COPPA is highly controversial and has been criticized as ineffective and potentially unconstitutional by many people.[27] They say it attacks children's rights to freedom of speech and self-expression. Delays in obtaining parental consent often result in children moving on to other activities that are less appropriate for their age. In addition, age restrictions and the "parental consent" process is easy for children to circumvent.[28] The law has also many safety flaws - for example it does not protect kids from being advertised to,[29] it does not prevent kids from accessing pornography or lying about their age,[30] and that it is impossible to ensure totally safe environment online on the governmental level[31] and, if so, it may be similar to SOPA/PIPA. Another point is that parents or non-profit organisations (like Common Sense Media, etc.), not government, are responsible for protecting children online.
Sometimes people state that the law was made to protect children from pedophiles, however COPPA has no statements regarding Internet pedophilia. In addition, it's very hard to recognize an actual pedophile even in the physical world, and that kids actually know who was abusing them.[32][unreliable source?]
Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook, has expressed opposition to COPPA and stated "That will be a fight we take on at some point. My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really, really young age."[33]

4 Good value for the price.vikkio1982 | 26/12/2009 | See all vikkio1982's reviews (8)I bought this for my kids as they are very big fans of the films. It has good graphics and the "I like to move it" music. The game over all is good but my 6 year says its hard. When buying it from the name I wondered if it would be similar to mario kartz and it is, but the kids are happy so I am happy.
3 Hmm..ShinyPikachu | 29/10/2010 | See all ShinyPikachu's reviews (7)A fair game, good for people who loves the films. Very similar to mario kart, it has items and different characters. I Liked this game because the tracks were fun. Once i completed the game i got bored of it, if you like the films then give it a go. Its worth its money.

The actin-based molecular motor myosin VI functions in the endocytic uptake pathway, both during the early stages of clathrin-mediated uptake and in later transport to/from early endosomes. This study uses fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) to examine the turnover rate of myosin VI during endocytosis. The results demonstrate that myosin VI turns over dynamically on endocytic structures with a characteristic half-life common to both the large insert isoform of myosin VI on clathrin-coated structures and the no-insert isoform on early endosomes. This half-life is shared by the myosin VI-binding partner Dab2 and is identical for full-length myosin VI and the cargo-binding tail region. The 4-fold slower half-life of an artificially dimerized construct of myosin VI on clathrin-coated structures suggests that wild type myosin VI does not function as a stable dimer, but either as a monomer or in a monomer/dimer equilibrium. Taken together, these FRAP results offer insight into both the basic turnover dynamics and the monomer/dimer nature of myosin VI.

Fore Brooke
Patrick Patterson's autistic daughter is the driving force behind his golf tournament.
email@example.com (ext. 406)
Patrick Patterson describes his home as something like a fortress. The doors are deadbolted, the windows are screwed shut and a 6-foot-high fence spans the perimeter of his Montvale yard.
The security measures do not exist to keep intruders out, but to keep a 9-year-old child with autism in.
Patterson's daughter Brooke began demonstrating autistic behaviors such as babbling and lack of eye contact around 2 years of age. She was diagnosed at 3. Brooke has limited communication skills and requires constant supervision, her father said.
"She's not a severe autistic, but she's not high enough on the spectrum to be considered Asperger's [syndrome]," he explained.
Now a "quiet, respectful" fourth-grader at Montvale Elementary, Brooke rides the school bus and attends classes with non-autistic children during a portion of the day. At all times, she carries a backpack filled with the DVD cases of her favorite television shows, "like a security blanket," her father said.
"[Brooke] does her own thing, and keeps to herself," and therefore, is the better behaved child of the three, Patterson joked.
But parenting an autistic child can be emotionally isolating at times, Patterson said. The family isn't able to enjoy pleasures of the past such as going out to eat or visiting friends because Brooke was prone to meltdowns or wandering. In addition, Patterson's job at a steel abrasives company requires regular travel away from the family, leaving his wife Cheerre to care for Brooke and her two sisters alone.
"I have a wife that hasn't worked in nine years because we couldn't have a babysitter," said Patterson. The couple's other daughters, 12-year-old Lauren and Emily, 6, have been helpful, he said. "They love [Brooke] to death and understand the issue."
In an effort to raise awareness and donations for autism research, Patterson has coordinated a golf tournament at the Westlake Golf and Country Club to be held Sept. 22.
The cost to play is $65, or sponsors can purchase a hole for $100, said Patterson. The tournament is limited to 100 participants, and all proceeds will be directed to the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute.
Patterson's first fundraising endeavor was coordinating a softball tournament in 2011. It raised more than $2,000. He said he hopes to double that amount this year through the golf tournament.
"Being able to raise awareness was my driving factor," said Patterson. "To help those who are autistic now and to better educate people."
The autism golf tournament will begin at 1 p.m. and continue until the last player finishes.
For more information, contact Patterson, 875-7695 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

My blog readership jumped from 0 to 29, 952 in a day. All thanks to this post which is not even mine. So, I think I owe my dusty old blog a short post!
Well firstly, Happy new year everyone :D How's 2010 so far?
My year started out really bad. I got into a fight with my mom on the first day of the new year but other than that, the year went pretty well.
Bummed around the first three months, still trying to take in the freedom I had without school. The fun only lasted for a while especially since my friends started working and I ran out of money. I was so busy having fun I didn't really planned anything, so for weeks after that I had to settle with very little working hours and too much time to spend all the money I had earned. I was pretty much almost broke at the end of every month.
In February, I had my first real Valentine date and really enjoyed that day <3 February was also my Fuck Free February. I made a promise that I will not say the work Fuck for the whole month and I surprisingly kept that promise. I'm proud to say that I curse and swear a lot less now!
March was a really rough month. I had a lot of ups and down, mostly down. But luckily I have friends and family to help me through the many situation I was in. Thank you, every single one of you. I also had my cheer competition and although we didn't win, out team had probably the most fun ever!
I went to Hong Kong in April with Joy, Boon and Seetoh. It was my first holiday experience with friends and I really loved it. Macau was really awesome and we had some kick-ass memories from there.
May! I started saving in May because I had a revelation and I decided that being broke at the end of every month is not how I want to live my life. Saving was really hard for me because I never believed in saving for a rainy day. I always had the Live for the moment kinda attitude. But I'm proudly telling you that my savings have been increasing exponentially and I'm a very happy person. I must say that it's an awesome feeling to have money in your bank!
June's been very blah blah. I have no idea what that it supposed to mean but I just came back from work and I've been working everyday and I'm too tired to think what I did the whole month. Ah yes, I went back to train. I'm doing gymnastics with the national team now and it feels good to be moving again.
Now it's the end of June and July is about to come. Bring it on!
Cheers everyone!

Emerging Legal Issues of E-Commerce
Farooq A. Mir University of Kashmir, India |
M. Tariq Banday University of Kashmir, India |
Internet has unfolded a new market for businesses to explore and exploit. The enormous flexibility and speed of Internet makes it the most modern platform for businesses as well as consumers to execute business transactions. The goods and services of diverse nature are being offered to the businesses or to the consumers globally. The whole world has been converted in to the market to be available on the click of a mouse on the laptop or palmtop. To provide security and legal recognition to the transactions executed electronically, the Indian Parliament enacted the Information Technology Act, 2000 modeled on UNCITRAL's Model Law, though it departs in many respects from the spirit of the Model Law. Immediately after the enactment of the IT Act, it was found that certain significant provisions are missing in this enactment; its provisions lack harmony and above all many legal issues have not been properly spelled out. The IT Act was amended in the year 2008 with four fold objectives. Interestingly, the draftsmen have admitted that the digital signatures prescribed for authentication of electronic records in the original IT Act are linked with specific technology, it has become necessary to provide for alternative technology of electronic signatures, nevertheless the original provision for digital signatures has been retained which has compounded the confusion. Furthermore, the Indian courts have not yet found any opportunity to appraise the impact of the provisions of the IT Act on substantive principles of contract formation codified in the Indian Contract Act, 1872. An analytical evaluation is therefore, needed to identify the issues raised by the information technology relating to contract formation, impact of the IT Act on the principles relating to contract formation provided in the Contract Act, and impact of non-inclusion of the principles governing e-commerce, provided in the Model Law but not reflected in the IT Act.
