I had an American Deringer in 45 acp. It kicked like a mule and it was an all steel 15oz. gun. I am not real recoil sensitive but it was not fun to shoot. I can only imagine the recoil on this little devil (the Heizer). Traded the derringer for a Beretta 84bb.
Looks like a great back up gun
Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
being a complete recoil junky, I'd love to take that little bad boy for a spin. With the ported barrel, that little guy would light up the night.
Kimbers are the guns you show your friends....Glocks are the ones you show your enemies.
I like it but, it might be one of those guns that you can't get repair parts for three years from now. But, looking on the bright side - you won't hafta hunt for spare magazines.
Looks like that sheet metal gun (the liberator?) they dropped into Europe during WWII for use by the resistance.
I carry to protect myself and my loved ones from the BG's. Not to solve societies problems. That said: if more carried the deterrent would only have a positive overall effect on those problems.

It is better to have your gun and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
You cannot choose the conditions for a gunfight, so train in all conditions!
Bet that would light the shooter up if fired from the retention posistion or inside a pocket.

Interesting concept, but I think I'd rather have 7 rounds of .380 in something like a LCP than only 2 rounds of .45 in this.
I guess this will appeal to the crowd who refuse to carry anything other than a .45. For them, it will be the ultimate BUG, since they are convinced you only need one shot of .45 anyway...
I also would not want to fire that thing from a close retention position, with those ported barrels. I kinda value my eyes - call me crazy...

"I was so ecstatic when I received my invites in the mail! They far exceeded my expectations and looked amazing. I would definitely recommend paying a little extra to get the pearl shimmer paper; it really made the invites look more elegant."
"It took me a long time to decide on this wedding invitation. I originally chose this design because it was a simple design with a simple elegant font. After playing around with the colors, GunMetal was the perfect color and design because it has the rustic theme that my fiance and i had for our winery wedding. After we ordered the sample card and saw it, we knew we wanted the gunmetal design for our invitations. It has such a perfect rustic wood charm that matched our centerpiece boxes perfectly along with the grain in the wine barrels throughout our ceremony and reception. The Design team did a great job with my requests and they actually had them delivered to my doorstep 5 days sooner than what was estimated!"
"Was very impressed with customer service throughout and their willingness to personalize things as I wanted. 140 invites, RSVPs, and Info Cards were printed and delivered in about 1 week. High quality and all well-organized. Thank you !"
"The invitations were exactly what I wanted. They were perfect quality, beautiful, arrived really quickly and were right on time!"
"The only reason I ended up going with these is because I got a deal on Gilt City. We are having a wedding of 240 because our families are so huge but these invitations got pretty expensive because of it. Instead of purchasing all the little nicknacks, we decided just to order the invitations and make the RSVP and Accomidation cards ourselves to save money. The design totally fit our wedding theme and I can't wait to mail them out. The quality is amazing and I would recommend these to anyone who doesn't have a super strict budget."

Littoral hermit crabs, Pagurus bernhardus, show a strong preference for Littorina obtusata shells rather than those of Gibbula species. The fitness consequences, in terms of fecundity, for this shell preference is examined for female crabs. Females in the preferred species produced eggs earlier in the season, produced more eggs in the first brood, and produced a second brood more often than did females in the less preferred species. The smaller brood for Gibbula spp. was not a consequence of egg loss from the pleopods due to an unfavourable shape of shell, but rather reflected lower egg production. It is not clear, however, if this differential reproduction is due to direct costs of carrying an unfavourable shell, i.e. the shell impedes reproduction, or whether crabs compete aggressively for favoured shells so that only crabs of low quality inhabit lowquality shells.

Leslie Grace on Fame: "A Real Diva Doesn't Have to Compensate for Who They Are"
Photo by Fadil Berisha Do la rumba with Leslie Grace at the Billboard Latin Music Awards.
At a time when most 19-year-old pop stars are wagging their tongues and twerking on anything that moves, being arrested for DUIs, or getting caught in a sex tape scandal, bachata sensation Leslie Grace is focused on writing music, topping the charts, and hanging with music legends at the Billboard Latin Music Awards.
"I think it's huge," the singer enthuses. "I feel completely honored to be a part of the conference and awards show, and to be nominated twice so early into my career. I feel so blessed and see a lot of doors opening in the future, God willing."
Grace is a finalist for New Artist of the Year, and she's also up against industry vets Christina Aguilera, Thalia, and the late Jenni Rivera in the Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Female category at this year's awards.

While los premios are what most of los músicos are excited about, Grace is hyped for the whole experience. Prior to Thursday's award ceremony, the teenage sensation will put on a show with Luis Enrique at the ASCAP Showcase at Yuca and at the Pandora Discovery Den: Noche de Música with Alexis y Fido at Grand Central.
"I think it's really cool that the places where I'm gonna be performing, they're gonna be very intimate," she says. "It's a great opportunity to showcase my music and personality as well."
And she's definitely got a big personality. Before becoming the youngest female artist to peak at number one on Billboard's Tropical Songs and Latin Airplay charts with her 2012 breakthrough single, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," Grace was just a girl who loved to sing in front of her family in her living room in Yonkers, New York.
"First of all, I'm the youngest of six kids. We're like a Brady Bunch family," she laughs. "Being Latin, we would have get-togethers all the time, so I would do my little shows and take advantage of everyone being there at home.
"One day, I was getting ready to sing for my family, but people were missing. My mom asked me if I was ready to sing, but I said, 'No, because people give me energy, and I don't like singing when there's not a lot of people'."
From that moment on, Grace and her parents, whom the singer credits for her success, knew that music was her calling.
"As I got older, I was convinced that this is what I wanted to do," she says. "I'm passionate about making people feel good with the talent God has given me, and I'm touching people's hearts."

Relationships, Love and Sex, Part 1
February 10, 2010 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Relationships
With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought a good theme to discuss for the next few weeks would be Relationships, Love and Sex.
These are complicated topics, full of pitfalls and entanglements, mishaps and risks, and also much bliss and happiness.
It's the arena in which we can become most vulnerable, in which our deepest intimacies can become known; it can also be the arena in which our buttons are pushed to the max.
It is a risk to enter into a relationship with another, to fall in love, and to have sexual relations with another, because the heart is the most fragile of organs.
Many a person has fallen in love only to have their heart broken, and then to swear off ever being in love again; they put a shield around their heart, and enclose it so that it becomes difficult for them to easily feel again.
Being in a relationship and in love is when you are challenged to be the most brutally honest, because it is when your heart and soul is touched by another. You are then forced to either get in touch with your own deepest feelings, or else run away and bury those feelings deep down within.
Everyone wants to be loved, but you also need to know how to love. It takes opening your heart, authenticity, the ability to communicate, compassion, tenderness, understanding, the letting down of your guard, the lessening of expectations, and the ability to be humble and not let your ego take control.
In another words, this love thing is a tall order.
Many books exist on the subject, but even the experts are not always expert – for instance, noted relationship author and expert Barbara De Angelis has been married five times.
Obviously, getting the love thing down can be complicated.
Life is messy, full of chaos and unpredictability, and so even the best of relationships can be messy. The map of the human heart has many roadblocks and detours along the way.
It is my belief, and I will delve into this with tomorrow's article, that the more of a Low Density Lifestyle you live, the better your chances of finding a lasting relationship, especially if it is with another person who also lives that way. That is because when two people come together who both live a Low Density Lifestyle, there is a sense of calm and inner peace already within the relationship, leading to less potential for possible friction that can cause problems.
Now, you can work on yourself till the cows come home, but the real test comes when you're in a relationship, when love comes knocking on your door, and when you have the closest and most intimate of all encounters, the experience of sex, because this is when we are fully tested.
Sex, especially, is a subject that is often considered taboo and not to be talked about in polite circles. Granted, you don't want to be shouting off a rooftop about your sex life, nor is it necessary to talk about it with everyone you meet. After all, it is a personal matter.
But we are a sexually repressed culture, afraid to fully express our primal needs and enjoy the full pleasures of sex.
On my intake form that I have my patients fill out at their initial appointment, I have an area that I ask how they feel about their personal lives, work, family, diet and sex life. I ask people to rate it, from great, to good, fair and poor. Most of my patients rate their sex life fair or poor. A small number rate it good, and a tiny fraction call it great.
But it shouldn't be that way. After all, it is the most natural of acts.
Again, I believe the more of a Low Density Lifestyle a person leads, the better their sex life.
After all, if you remember the interview I did with Mimi Kirk (it was the third part), the 71-year-old woman named by PETA as the sexiest vegetarian over 50, she candidly mentioned that her sex life (with her boyfriend 19 years her junior) was great.
I'll revisit this more in-depth tomorrow, so tune in tomorrow…
An Interview with Mimi Kirk, Part 3
February 3, 2010 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Longevity
Today is the last installment of the three-part exclusive interview I recently did with Mimi Kirk, the 71-year-old winner of PETA's sexiest female vegetarian over 50 award.
Mimi has a lot of valid things to say about health and wellness, and she's an incredible role model for anyone of any age. Just watching her in this and the previous two interviews can teach you a lot about being and becoming healthy.
Mimi's interview fits in well with this series on Longevity, because, although Mimi is far younger than all of the other masters of longevity I have profiled in this series, what she discusses is clearly the secrets to living a long and vital life.
In case you missed the previous interviews I did with Mimi Kirk, you can click on the links below to see them:
An Interview with Mimi Kirk, Part 1
An Interview with Mimi Kirk, Part 2
As you watch the above video, you'll hear Mimi talk about:
***why it's not genes and family history that dictate whether you'll be sick as you age
***why medications can be toxic to your health and why they're not the answer to getting healthy
***why developing good health is simple
***why she loves eating a raw foods diet
***what her favorite creative pastimes are
***her upcoming book, "How to Be Healthy and Hot At Any Age."
***why her sex drive is strong
***that she feels incredibly healthy and full of life
***what she does to keep her skin youthful and vital (hint: she's never used botox or plastic surgery)
***how people can connect with her and find out what she's up to. (here's how to get to her Facebook page: Mimi Kirk's Facebook page.)
So, I hope you enjoyed the interview I did with Mimi Kirk, and got a lot out of it. I surely did.
I'll be back tomorrow with another article in this series on Longevity, so see you then.
An Interview with Mimi Kirk, Part 2
February 2, 2010 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Longevity
Today I continue with the second part of a three-part exclusive interview I recently did with Mimi Kirk, who is no ordinary 71 year old. In 2009, when she was 70, Mimi was voted by PETA as the sexiest vegetarian female over 50.
If you didn't see the first part of the interview with Mimi Kirk, don't forget to review it by clicking on this link:
An Interview with Mimi Kirk, Part 1
The interview was conducted over skype with only one technical snafu – about halfway through today's interview Mimi's screen froze, so you'll see me wait about 10 seconds until Mimi's screen unfroze. After that the interview continued without a hitch.
As you watch the above video, you'll hear Mimi talk about:
***why to become healthy you need to become empowered and take responsibility for your health
***how she manages to wear out her boyfriend, who's 19 years younger than she is
***why the way you think, your attitude about life, your happiness, and your ability to laugh are also crucial to health, along with diet
***what holds people back from changing their diet and making healthy lifestyle choices
***how she manages to live a stress-free life
***what the common threads are amongst people who live long lives
***how to start living a healthier lifestyle
***why eating meat and dairy is unhealthy
***that she takes no medications, and also takes no supplements
***why she shops primarily at farmer's markets
Mimi Kirk has a lot to say, and all of it is valid. I think you'll agree with me, as you watch this video, that Mimi is an incredible inspiration to all of us.
Tomorrow I'll be back with the last installment of this three-part interview, so don't forget to tune in tomorrow…
An Interview With Mimi Kirk, Part 1
January 29, 2010 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Longevity
A few months ago, I wrote an article on the Low Density Lifestyle site about Mimi Kirk, and today I present the first part of an exclusive three-part interview I did with her.
Mimi was voted in 2009 by PETA as the sexiest vegetarian female over 50, which is an honor of and by itself. What makes it even more amazing is that Mimi was 70 years old at the time! (She's now 71.)
You may want to read the article again before watching the above video on Mimi Kirk, the sexiest vegetarian over 50.
Mimi and I conducted the interview over skype, and I recorded the video. I will give you the three-part interview one installment at a time, in order to give it to you in bite size chunks.
As you watch the above video, you'll hear Mimi talk about:
***how she won the award
***why she became a vegetarian
***why she's now a raw food vegan and how eating that way has made a dramatic improvement in her health
***a typical food day for her
***what she does if she goes out to dinner or travels
***her 52-year-old boyfriend's eating habits and how she got him to change his ways
***her personal nutritional philosophy
Mimi is truly an inspiration, not only because she won the award, but because she is so healthy and vibrant. She's a true model of longevity, and a model of someone living a Low Density Lifestyle.
Don't forget to tune in next time for installment number two…
The Sexiest Vegetarian Woman Over 50
September 30, 2009 by Michael Wayne
Filed under Diet And Nutrition, Meat
PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – has a knack for keeping their name in the news.
Sometimes controversial, sometimes provocative, sometimes whimsical, and sometimes very serious, they continue to hammer home their message: cruelty to animals in all its forms is inhumane.
Now as I pointed out in the first article of this series, The Meat of the Issue, I am not a vegetarian. I don't eat red meat, I do eat poultry and fish. Not a lot, sometimes once or twice a week, sometimes I don't eat it for weeks, but I can't say I eat vegetarian.
I do believe, as I've pointed out in this entire series, that a diet of too much meat is not healthy. And I've backed it up with with various studies to make my point, including the landmark China Study.
I like PETA'S message, and I like that they're ready to occasionally rumble and take off the kid gloves in getting the point across.
And so, over the next three days, I'll highlight some PETA hijinks.
Today, let me tell you about the woman they recently voted the sexiest vegetarian woman over 50.
And this woman, Mimi Kirk of the San Diego area, isn't just 50 years old, she's 20 years past the half century mark – she's 70!
Mimi Kirk has been a vegetarian for 40 years and won the title after a nationwide vote conducted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Kirk was the oldest of the 10 female finalists — "most could be my daughters" she said — and is thrilled.
"I'm very happy," Kirk said in August when she found out. "I'm trying to balance this crown on my head."
Actually, the only prize associated with the win is an organic gift basket filled with chocolate, cider, nuts and coffee. The title is what it's all about.
Kirk entered the contest a couple of months ago on a whim after seeing an ad on Facebook. She had to fill out a questionnaire and send in lots of photographs. A while back, Kirk was notified that she was a finalist.
Since then, she's made hundreds of new Facebook friends with whom she's sharing her secret of sexiness.
"I quit eating meat because I didn't want to kill animals," Kirk said. Her food choices, she believes, have helped her stay young-looking.
"I think I dress on the younger side," she said. "I shop at places like American Eagle, and my boyfriend, who is 19 years younger than me, is always telling me those are clothes for 15-year-olds."
Kirk said she feels young and dresses accordingly. "I don't try to dress young, but I do try to dress current."
After PETA chose the finalists, nearly 5,000 people cast votes on PETA's Web site, with Kirk winning by a narrow margin in the female over-50 category, said Lindsay Rajt, PETA spokeswoman.
Rajt said PETA held the contest to show that "vegetarianism is a recipe for healthy living."
Kirk said she's always been active. She has four children whom she raised alone after being widowed at age 29.
Past jobs have included working as a stand-in for Mary Tyler Moore and designing clothes for Valerie Harper on the TV show "Rhoda."
Just last year, Kirk sold a business she began a decade ago.
"I invented a board game for women called Cowgirls Ride the Trail of Truth, kind of a gal's-night-out game. Margaritas with the gals and talking about your life and answering questions about everything personal."
She said her grandkids are having a great time with all the sexy vegetarian stuff.
"They posted on their Facebook messages about their hot grandma," Kirk said. "Now their Facebook friends are asking me to be friends."

Washing machines: buyers' guide
So you're looking to invest in a brand new washing machine; you've begun to look online for your perfect make and model and narrow down your options. But with the huge variety available, all with fandangled features and special selling points, you're feeling a little, well, lost.
If this sounds like you, fear not, as we're here to guide you through the minefield of online washing machine shopping. This guide will help get you clued up on all the information and advice you need to make an informed buying decision.
Once you start getting a better idea of which factors will influence your choice – from style, programs and special features – you're ready to start to compare deals and offers and read washing machine reviews. Then all that's left to do is click and buy – good luck!
Types of washing machine
Front loader: Front loading washing machine styles will have a door on the front of the machine that opens outwards towards you. This is the most common style and is readily available online. If floor space is important to you, the front loading machine should be your go-to as you can stack a tumble dryer above to save space in your kitchen.
Top loader: Top loading models are far less common than they used to be, but can be great if you have back or knee problems as they don't require you to stoop or kneel down to access the door. Top loaders are far less economical than front loaders as the drum has to be totally filled with water whereas a front loader only requires a third of the drum to be filled.
Integrated machine: Integrated models are fully covered by a door or covering which blends in with the rest of your appliances or kitchen units. When the door is close the machine will be completely hidden.
Semi-integrated machine: Semi-integrated machines are front loaders that blend in with the rest of your appliances or kitchen units with a door or cover covering the majority of the machine (controls are the only things still showing)
Washer dryers: This type of washing machine is ideal if you're low on space and don't have room for separate washer and dryer. They're also ideal if you only do small washes and don't want to invest in a full-size washing machine.
A washer dryer has all the functions of a washer but can take longer to dry clothes thanks to the restriction on load size and its smaller drum – you'll often need to split a load in half to adequately dry it.
Tip: Remember to measure your available space if your new machine is going in a tight spot or under a work surface.
Washing machine features
Spin speed: Of course, the optimum spin speed is a high one; it's more economical and will produce dryer clothes. This is an advantage particularly if you use a tumble dryer as the clothes will need less drying time after washing. The only downside to a high spin speed is that it's often noisier and costs more, so consider your budget when you're comparing spin speeds.
Most machines have a minimum of 2 spin speeds: 1000-1800 rpm (for cottons) or 400-800 rpm (for synthetics and delicates). A machine will usually select a spin speed based on the wash program you've selected but some will have a variable feature that you can select yourself.
Drum capacity: Drum capacity is an important feature to look out for, especially if you live in a busy household with lots of washing to do! Large drum sizes – up to 9kg – are brilliant for bulky items, such as curtains and towels, or family-sized loads.
Fuzzy logic: Fuzzy logic is a new technology used to determine the weight of what is in the drum and adjust temperature, speed, water and time accordingly saving money and minimizing waste.
Steam clean: A steam clean setting is perfect for those amongst us who hate picking up the iron after washing a load; this setting ensures fewer wrinkles or creases and a deeper clean for your clothes.
Other features:
Selling points on modern washing machines can include the following:
- Coin trap to catch buttons, coins, hairbands or pen lids.
- LED display to show how long is left on the cycle.
- Low noise for integrated kitchen-living rooms
- Large capacity drums for heavier items or bigger loads
- Extra rinse program, which is great for items that absorb lots of water, such as towels.
- Freshen-up program, perfect for clothes that aren't dirty but need a little rinse.
- Child locks to keep little hands from twiddling dials and pressing buttons
- Anti-leak protection to prevent floodin
- Anti-mould door seal technology to protect your clothes.
Washing machine temperature guide
30 degrees: Currently the recommended temperature for energy efficient washing, using your washing machine at 30 degrees rather than 40 will save you money and help lower emissions from power stations. For optimum results use detergents that are designed to be used on lower temperature settings.
40 degrees: The most common wash temperature, this is suitable for most everyday items: cotton, linen, viscose, acrylics, acetate and wool blends.
50 degrees: The next setting up, this is suitable for polyester/cotton mixes, nylon, cotton and viscose. Most find a 40 degree wash adequate but if you have any clothes that are particularly stained or dirty, you may want to set your washing machine to 50.
60 degrees: A 60 degree wash is suited to heavier items such as towels and bed linen, or heavily soiled items such as baby clothes.
90 degrees: This is the hottest setting on conventional washing machines and is suitable for white cottons and linens.
Washing machine programmes
With such a huge selection of programs and features on modern day washing machines it's easy to get confused about what they all do and just stick to one. However, this may mean that you're not getting the optimum results from your washing machine. Here's our lowdown on the most common settings you'll find on both high-end and cheap washing machines:
In general terms, a wash can be split into four broad categories:
- Cottons, which need a vigorous cycle
- Synthetics, which should be washed on a gentler setting
- Delicates, which are similar to synthetics but need a gentler wash
- Woolens, which need lots of water and little friction
Quick wash: This handy setting is perfect if you're in a rush. The wash usually lasts from 50-70 minutes and is best for clothes that aren't too dirty. Some quick washes can take only 30 minutes but in this case you'd have to reduce your load size to around 1kg-3kg
Delicates/woolens: This is the setting best suited to silk or wool-blend clothing which often bobble on a normal setting. Wash any items labeled 'pure new wool', 'washable', 'pre-shrunk' or 'non-matting' on the woolen cycle. All other wool items should be cleaned on the handwash setting.
Handwash program: Use the handwash program for delicates such as angora, silk and cashmere to prevent damage or shrinkage.
Economy wash: An economy wash is brilliant if you only want to wash a few items and don't want to put on a full load. It also saves money by using less water and electricity.
Energy efficiency
Washing machines have an EU-rated energy efficiency rating from A-G, A being the most economical and G being the least.
Some retailers also have top of the range washing machines: A+, A++ and A+++, that are even more efficient than A-rated models.
- A+ models achieve up to 10% reduction in energy consumption compared with A models.
- A++ models can reduce this by up to 20%.
- A+++ models can save you up to 30% compared with A models.
Manufacturers grade their own products and Trading Standards monitor standardized tests across the industry. Sometimes the more expensive the model, the higher graded it will be in terms of energy efficiency and the more energy-saving features there'll be, such as timed delays and temperature settings or technology to adjust settings during the spin cycle.
This isn't to say that a cheap washing machine won't be energy efficient; many cheaper machines will feature a pressure switch to gauge the size of the load and vary the amount of water needed, or they'll have a half load setting for smaller and shorter loads.
What next?
Having narrowed down your search for the perfect washing machine to suit your needs refine your search further on our shopping pages with the settings in the left column. By narrowing down type, spin speed, capacity and energy efficiency, you can begin to compare models and styles.
Select keywords or choose your budget to make sure you're getting the best washing machine on sale to match your needs. After clicking a deal you'll be transferred to your seleceted retailer's website where you can click through to buy or simply check out the specs and compare prices. Compare online retailers' delivery options and costs and be sure to check out reviews of the best washing machines you've shortlisted.
Washing machine technology has come on leaps and bounds since the slow and heavy top loaders of yesteryear; who knows, in fifty years' time we could all be using ultra-futuristic transparent machines!

I feel like crap right now. I know she doesn't love me. Never has, probably never will. Yet why do I still have the urge to persue her? Why do I still feel like there's a chance? I know December was a waste of my time. Why should this time be any different? I really hope she doesn't ask me out again because I'm not sure if I have the strength to tell her no. Because that's what I should do, right?
Is love really all too much to ask for? Apparently so.
Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a fucking queer. Sometimes I wish I could have a boyfriend. Sometimes I wish I could be OK with just "liking" someone. Sometimes I wish I could be like my friends and go out and get de-virginized and get drunk and not think of it as a big deal. I really do. It's like some big secret that I'm missing out on.
Of course none of you know who the heck I'm talking about but I suppose it doesn't matter anyway.
yep. the grass is always greener.............................
some days bein' straight looks ok, but would you trade being yourself for being accepted as someone you aren't?
Don't be so hard on yourself. Nothing is wrong with being a virgin, it's actually quite desirable to those looking for a mate. Anyway, your friends act like whores cause they think they're learning some secret, then they glam it up to sound like they really know what love is. Truth is, they got drunk and lost a piece of themselves to someone who probably won't matter to them down the line and vice verse. Don't be envious of this. Value the fact that you're different. That one day, you won't feel like shit....and when you're living that day, remember how you felt when you posted this.
Blah...I know it's not a good thing but my mind does wander to what that might be like. That was just one of those nights of over thinking.

NEW! Q2 Online Banking | |
Personal and Business Banking logins have been consolidated under one, easy to use Online Banking system. | |
If you've never used online banking, click here to enroll. |
Click here to view a list of basic precautions when using your debit card
As use of the Internet continues to expand, more banks and thrifts are using the Web to offer products and services or otherwise enhance communications with consumers.
The Internet offers the potential for safe, convenient new ways to shop for financial services and conduct banking business, any day, any time. However, safe banking online involves making good choices – decisions that will help you avoid costly surprises or even scams.
This page offers information and tips to help you if you are thinking about or already using online banking systems. We will tell you how to:
Learn where to go for more assistance from banking regulators.
Whether you are selecting a traditional bank or an online bank that has no physical offices, it's wise to make sure that it is legitimate and that your deposits are federally insured. Here are tips specifically designed for consumers considering banking over the Internet.
Most bank Web sites have an "About Us" section or something similar that describes the institution. You may find a brief history of the bank, the official name and address of the bank's headquarters, and information about its insurance coverage from the FDIC.
For example, watch out for copycat Web sites that deliberately use a name or Web address very similar to, but not the same as, that of a real financial institution. The intent is to lure you into clicking onto their Web site and giving your personal information, such as your account number and password. Always check to see that you have typed the correct Web site address for your bank before conducting a transaction.
To verify a bank's insurance status, look for the familiar FDIC logo or the words "Member FDIC" or "FDIC Insured" on the Web site.
Also, you should check the FDIC's online database of FDIC-insured institutions. You can search for an institution by going to the at FDIC's home page and selecting "Is My Bank Insured?" Enter the official name, city, and state of the bank, and click the "Find My Institution" button. A positive match will display the official name of the bank, the date it became insured, its insurance certificate number, and the main office location for the bank, and its primary government regulator. If your bank does not appear on this list, contact the FDIC.
Some bank Web sites provide links directly to the FDIC's Web site to assist you in identifying or verifying the FDIC insurance protection of their deposits.
Also remember that not all banks operating on the Internet are insured by the FDIC. Many banks that are not FDIC-insured are chartered overseas. If you choose to use a bank chartered overseas, it is important for you to know that the FDIC may not insure your deposits. Check with your bank or the FDIC if you are not certain.
For insurance purposes, be aware that a bank may use different names for its online and traditional services; this does not mean you are dealing with separate banks.
This means, for example, that to determine your maximum FDIC insurance coverage, your deposits at the parent bank will be added together with those at the separately named bank Web site and will be insured for up to the maximum amount covered for one bank. Talk to your banker if you have questions.
Don't worry about your deposit insurance coverage if you or your family has less than $100,000 in all your accounts combined at the same FDIC-insured bank. But if your accounts total $100,000 or more, find out if they're within the insurance limit. Contact your bank for more information.
For additional assistance from the FDIC about the legitimacy of an institution or the insurance of your deposits, call the FDIC's Division of Compliance and Consumer Affairs toll-free at 800-934-3342 or send an e-mail via the FDIC's online Customer Assistance page.
The FDIC's Web site also has an interactive service called EDIE (Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator) that can help you determine the amount of your insurance coverage. Or, you can read the online deposit insurance brochure "Your Insured Deposits".
It's important to note that only deposits offered by FDIC-insured institutions are protected by the FDIC. Nondeposit investment and insurance products, such as mutual funds, stocks, annuities and life insurance policies that may be sold through Web sites or at the bank itself, are not FDIC-insured, are not guaranteed by the bank, and may lose value.
FDIC 2004 http://www.fdic.gov/bank/individual/online/safe.html
Help Keep Your Transactions Secure
The Internet is a public network. Therefore, it is important to learn how to safe guard your banking information, credit card numbers, Social Security Number and other personal data.
As an added convenience to their customers, some banks offer online links to merchants, retail stores, travel agents and other nonfinancial sites. An outside company's products and service are not insured by the FDIC, and your bank may not guarantee the products and services.
As in everyday business, before you order a product or service online, make sure you are comfortable with the reputation of the company making the offer. Only then should you give out your credit card or debit card number. And never give the number unless you initiated the transaction.

Chocolate Marshmallows, and a sweet return
It's great to be back, but what's even better is that my friend, Catharine, is finally back from her East Coast trip, too.
Summers in Minnesota are short as it is, so when you're gone for a month, you return feeling as if you've missed an entire season of socializing. Because summer here is the time to connect: you make friends unexpectedly while walking down the sidewalks collecting bugs with your children.
When winter settles in, snow blankets the park and it empties. You have to match up schedules to meet. And there's more work involved: snow pants, boots, hats and gloves, always one missing.
But enough about winter; it'll be here soon enough. Tonight we're walking down to Catharine's house to barbecue, but first, we're making homemade chocolate marshmallows to roast. We've shied away from corn syrup, although it feels almost sacrilegious to desecrate a Martha recipe.
Homemade Chocolate Marshmallows, adapted from Martha Stewart:
- Vegetable oil
- 4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Oil a 9-by-13 inch baking dish. Line with parchment paper, and then oil that as well.
Pour 3/4 cup cold of water in a mixing bowl. Add gelatin and stir until softened.
In a medium saucepan, mix together sugar, cocoa powder, salt and 1 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir occasionally. When temperature reaches 240 degrees (use a candy thermometer), remove mixture from stove. Add to gelatin.
Beat the mixture for about 12 minutes, increasing speed as it thickens. When stiff, pour in vanilla and beat again.
Pour the mixture into the baking dish and let set for 3 hours.
Dust your work surface with 1 cup of sifted confectioners' sugar. Remove marshmallow from baking dish and place it on sugar. Take off parchment paper.
Cut into 2-inch squares, and roll marshmallows in remaining confectioners' sugar.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

I am forwarding this link to my sister in law. She LOVES to make marshmellows and would probably enjoy this recicpe!
Ok – I think I am in heaven, this would be great to try with the older kids ~ thanks for such a wonderful receipe!
JDaniel4's Mom says August 6, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Stopping from Mom Loop! This looks so good. I don't think I could eat just one of them.Have a great weekend!
I know what you mean about short summers, my husband and I lived in Wisconsin for a couple of years while he was attending grad school. It seemed like summer was just beginning when it ended!
It's really sad how much my mouth is watering right now ; )
South Beach is killing me. It's working, but killing me!
It's nice to see a recipe for marshmallows that doesn't use corn syrup. I still use it in some recipes, but try really hard to look for ways to avoid it, too.
Hi Jennifer, my kids love marshmallows but I refuse to buy them for the corn syrup in them (even at the healthfood store). I will have to try and make these using coconut oil!
Would love it if you would consider sharing this blog or another post at Monday Mania. Hope to see you there!
That looks awesome, and I'm not a big fan of marshmallows OR chocolate. My partner would ADORE that, though. I have to try it.
I have been looking for a homemade marshmallow recipe!!! Thanks! I heard you can make them yourself but never have, and have wanted to try!
I'm a Midwestern girl too…..Chicago. My dad is from Minnesota. I know this will be blaspheme of the worst kind but I am so ready for fall and winter. We are baking our butts down here and the mosquitos are the worst I've ever seen in my life. I say that ever year, but it's really really true this year. I can't be outside for 3 minutes without getting 5 new bites. My daughter is COVERED. I'm ready for the first frost!
Thanks for stopping by my blog…I'm your newest follower! Maybe I should try the marshmallow recipe to get me back in the summer spirit before it's too late…
Hi, thank you so much for visiting my blog! I love recipe blogs, so I am happy to encounter yours. And these marshmallows look yummy; I bet my kidlets would love them.
Truth be told, I lived on marshmallows and diet coke in college. I LOVE them with a passion. I have to have my husband hide the bag! I've never made them myself, but you're an inspiration!
This recipe looks like a lot of fun! I'll have to try it out soon! Also, I like that you shied away from corn syrup. Good choice!

quote: BOSTON -- Hacker Barnaby Jack has died in San Francisco, a week before he was due to show off techniques for attacking implanted heart devices that he said could kill a man from 30 feet away. It was not immediately clear what had happened. The San Francisco Medical Examiner's office said that Jack had died in the city on Thursday, but declined to elaborate. According to the Black Hat website, Jack was to present Aug. 3-4 on "Hacking into Humans." " I will discuss how these devices operate and communicate and the security shortcomings of the current protocols. Our internal research software will be revealed that utilizes a common bedside transmitter to scan for, and interrogate individual medical implants," according to promotional material for the event. According to his bio, Barnaby Jack is the director Of embedded security research at IOActive. In 2010, Jack gained attention for hacking two different automated teller machines at the Black Hat conference. This years Black Hat conference starts tomorrow in Las Vegas.

quote:Nothing to see here...move along people.
quote:There are some politically important people who have pacemakers, fwiw.
quote:I don't disagree that this couldn't be used to assassinate someone of importance. It is one of the reasons those types hide their medical records. Hell, we don't let people get the president's poo.
quote:should i be upset that this guy got snuffed out? seems like a good thing to me
quote: He was one of the good guys. Somebody didn't want him publicizing this, and they killed him. So yeah, you should be upset.

Just Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with details.
Voltage drop and Headlight output: Decreases lighting output by as much as 20%
Near a bulb's working design Voltage, a drop of only a half of a Volt results in a halogen bulb producing much less light. Many bikes have shown a 1 or even 2 Volt drop at the bulb, and I have confirmed this on my own Bikes. And this is also on new or like new Bikes.
After installing my relay kit, you will have a drop of ~.1 Volt, That's 1/10th of a Volt in case you miss the decimal. There is always going to be some Voltage drop, This is normal with any switch contact. But this is about the minimum possible. This low Voltage drop is the proof that the system is a good one. All the wiring, connectors, and components are working as they should.
Headlight and Starter Switch's
Headlight switches and starter (this is how your headlight turns off when you hit the starter button) switch's are usually a weak part of a bike's electrical system. Even with a stock 55/60 watt bulb, headlight switches and connectors can break down early in a bike's life. This is because ALL of the electricity that goes to your headlight bulb is passing through those little switch contacts in your handlebar switch units. Note: Some bikes do actually come with headlight relays, but the number is few. Even on newer Bikes.
