Stop! Don't Be Your Worst Enemy
Here are a few mental adjustments you can make right now that just might help you survive this soul-sucking industry.
Stop! Don't Be Your Worst Enemy
Here are a few mental adjustments you can make right now that just might help you survive this soul-sucking industry.
Everyone in the entertainment industry is in a constant state of pitching. Nothing happens in this business without pitching. It's the Hollywood dance that never ends.
Developing Talent Part 1: The Search for Fresh Faces
The entertainment industry is always hungry for fresh faces. This goes double during pilot season. That's why agents sign and develop young talent. We're all hoping to strike oil.
I wonder how many of you are familiar with generals. They're not for everyone, but in the right situation a good general can make a big difference in your career.
Talking About Everything but the Craft in an Acting Class
Secret Agent Man goes undercover in thrift-shop clothes and cheap hair product to observe actors in their natural habitat: acting class.
Pitch Contest Results Revealed!
My theory was that most actors don't know how to pitch themselves to agents. So I challenged you to prove me wrong. The results were fascinating.
Secret Agent Man Hunts for Treasure
A night at a workshop leads to plenty of résumés and headshots, but Secret Agent Man doesn't find any gems.
If you want an agent to sign you, you need to have experience, but how do you get experience if you don't have an agent?
I've been a Hollywood agent for more than 10 years. During that time, I've worked with the big boys and a few boutique agencies. I've learned that signing with the right kind of agency is crucial if you want to succeed as an actor.
'No' is a Negative Word Used to Express Refusal
"No" is such a tiny little word. It has only one syllable and two letters. How strong could it be? Well, as we all know, it's one of the most common words heard in the entertainment industry, and it packs quite a wallop.

Travel Channel to Offer LAYOVER GUIDE WITH ANTHONY BOURDAIN App
Travel Channel announced the debut of the Network's first travel guide application to be made available on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com) beginning today. The app, entitled the Travel Channel LAYOVER GUIDE WITH Anthony Bourdain combines the highly curated vision of the Network's Emmy-winning host, Anthony Bourdain, with practical tools to help users create their own Bourdain-inspired excursions. Meant to appeal to the armchair traveler, as well as the road warrior or jetsetter, the app (available for $1.99) was developed to motivate users to browse, watch, create and go. Informed by exclusive content from the Network's two hit television series, "The Layover" and "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations," users can customize their trips from an afternoon pub crawl to a week-long immersion of food, drink and fun across ten featured cities including Amsterdam, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, New York, Rome, San Francisco and Singapore. For more information and to watch a brief demo video of the app, go to http://www.travelchannel.com/mobile/bourdain-layover-app.
From the best burger in New York City, to a favorite hidden dive bar in London, to where a hungry traveler can find the classic Roman dish, Caccio e Pepe - the "Travel Channel Layover Guide With Anthony Bourdain" app reveals how to experience a city from Bourdain's eclectic culinary perspective. Rather than provide the traditional laundry list of every tourist destination and restaurant possibility, the app weeds through the cluttered digital travel space. It hand selects the ultimate Travel Channel-selected destinations with content exclusive to the app, allowing users to discover and experience ten great cities through customized content they won't find anywhere else in the digital hemisphere.
"Today's launch is the latest example of Travel Channel's expansion across multiple platforms as a travel lifestyle brand, providing a highly engaging, content-rich user experience closely integrated with on-air programming. We've been tantalizing viewers with inspiring programming for years," said Travel Channel president Laureen Ong. "Now, with the launch of this app, we're closing the gap between the linear channel and digital platforms, taking it to the next step to actually enable consumers to get traveling!"
"There really isn't anything else like this app in the marketplace right now," added Marietta Hurwitz, SVP & GM Digital, Travel Channel. "Our goal is to keep finding innovative and engaging ways for our content to reach new and existing audiences."

The present invention relates to a method of blocking undesired traffic in data communication systems that uses packet switching. Blocking is effected by determining the sender address of incoming data packets, and then comparing this address with a list of reliable addresses. The data packet is erased immediately, if the sender addresss is not included in the list. The list of accepted addresses can be created in several wayoi among others by including in the list addresses to which the user has himself sent data, these addresses therefore being considered reliable addresses. Addresses of friends and acquaintances can also be inserted in the list manually. The invetion thus enables undesired data from unreliable senders to be avoided. Such data loading limited resources, such as wireless internet connections for example. Neither is there any risk of the receiver being required to pay for information that he himself has not requested.

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of data communications systems. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of blocking undesired traffic in a data communications system.
[0002] The invention relates particularly, but not exclusively, to a method of blocking undesired data packets that are sent on a network which uses packet switching and where the network protocol is preferably represented by Internet Protocol (IP).
[0003] The invention can be applied on both wireless communications systems, for instance GPRS and WCDMA, and traditional so-called fixed communications systems constructed by fibre cables for instance.
[0004] In a packet-switching data communications system information is sent in packets, wherein each packet travels over the network with the best of efforts with respect to speed and routing, as opposed to a circuit switched network in which a connection is set up and all information sent precisely in accordance with the pre-established route.
[0005] In packet switching networks, the data packet utilises addresses in order to reach its final destination, in other words each packet is marked with a terminal address and the packets then dispatched. The network then ensures that the packets arrive at the correct receiver. Each packet will normally also include a sender address, so that the sender of the packet will be known.
[0006] Thus, information can be sent in a packet switched network at any time whatsoever and to all nodes that are connected to the network, without first contacting the receiver.
[0007] It is known, for instance from PCT-application WO9826533, to filter data packets by to data packets an attribute which indicates whether the receipt of the packets is desired or undesired. This attribute may be the address of the sender of the packet.
[0008] One problem with packet switching network is that whosoever can send whatsoever to whomsoever. The data packet is forwarded in the network without first checking whether or not the receiver will actually have the information. This does not occur in circuits switched communications systems in which there is first set up a connection between two parties. This can result in a user being drowned in a large quantity of undesired data that loads a resource-limited system unnecessarily.
[0009] When payment is expected for the amount of data received, another problem is that whosoever can cause an economic injury by sending the data packet to a user who is then forced to pay for the receipt of undesired and worthless information.
[0010] Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a solution to the aforesaid problems. In brief, this object is realised by believing that each terminal address to which data is sent, for example an e-mail receiver or in response to a request on a web page, is considered to be reliable. Data is then accepted solely from these accepted addresses, i.e. from reliable senders, and all other data packets are discarded.
[0011] More specifically, the checking and filtering of data packets is normally effected automatically. A list of accepted senders is created automatically, by investigating the terminal address of outgoing packets and placing this address in the list. A user may also insert beforehand addresses from which he is willing to receive data packets. The sender address of respective incoming packets is then compared with the addresses on the list. The invention can be applied in any network node whatsoever.
[0012] One advantage afforded by the invention is that one avoids receiving undesired data from unknown or unreliable senders.
[0013] Another advantage is that there is no risk of being required to pay for information that has not been requested.
[0014] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to preferred exemplifying embodiments thereof and also with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0015]FIG. 1 shows parts of a packet switching network.
[0016]FIG. 2 illustrates the various link layers in the OSI-model.
[0017]FIG. 3 shows an IP-header for IP-version 4.
[0018]FIG. 4 shows a TCP-header.
[0019]FIG. 5 illustrates how the three-way handshake algorithm functions.
[0020]FIG. 6 is a flow chart for outgoing packets according to one embodiment of the invention.
[0021]FIG. 7 is a flow chart for incoming packets according to one embodiment of the invention.
[0022]FIG. 1 shows the possible configuration of parts of a packet switching network. The example shows how several nodes (N1, N2, N3 . . . ) are interlinked in one or more networks. For example, the nodes N1-N3 and N5-N7 may form two separate small networks which, in turn, are coupled together with a larger network, for instance with Internet. Each small network can use different types of technology, for example FDDI, Ethernet or ATM. In FIG. 2, the nodes N1-N3 might be able to use ATM within their small network, whereas the nodes N5-N7 might be able to use Ethernet within their small network.
[0023] When these smaller data networks are coupled together, there is created a larger data network. Thus, Internet is actually a logic network that consists of a collection of physical networks, i.e. a collection of smaller networks that use different technologies.
[0024] These smaller networks are coupled together with the aid of routers and gateways. A router ensures that data packets are sent along correct routes between the networks, whereas a gateway manages the communication between different types of protocols, for instance so that an ATM-network is able to communicate with an Ethernet-network.
[0025] The OSI-model shown in FIG. 2 describes the various layers that are included in a packet switching communications system. The bottom Layer 1 is the physical layer that specifies transportation of bits over the physical medium. V.24, V.34 and G.703 are examples of Layer 1 standards.
[0026] There then follows Layer 2 which is the data link layer that specifies frames and physical addresses. Ethernet, Token Ring and High level Data Link Control (HDLC) are examples of Layer 2 standards. Layer 3 is the network layer that manages routing, logic addresses and data packet fragmentation. Internet Protocol (IP) and Inter-network Packet Exchange (IPX) are possible examples in this regard.
[0027] These three lowermost Layers 1-3 are, as shown in FIG. 2, implemented in all network nodes, including network switches and all nodes coupled along said networks.
[0028] Layer 4 is the transport layer that is normally implemented solely in the end nodes. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) are examples of protocols in the transport layer.
[0029] Layer 5 is the sessions layer that, inter alia, checks that the session has not been terminated before all data has been transmitted. Examples in this regard may be netbios and winsock.
[0030] Layer 6 is the presentation layer that specifies coding of data. HyperText Marup Language (HTML) and American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) are examples in this regard.
[0031] The top Layer 7 is where the actual applications are implemented, such as e-mail and file transfers. Examples in this regard are telnet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT) and HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP).
[0032]FIG. 3 illustrates the construction of an IP-header for IP-version 4. An Ipv4 header consists of several 32-bit words. The first word includes Version which indicates the version of IP used. Hlen indicates the length of the entire header. TOS (Type Of Service) is conceived for use for extra services, for instance giving priority to faster transportation.
[0033] The field Protocol concerns which higher-layer protocol manages the IP-packet, examples of such protocol being TCP or UDP. This field is thus examined to see whether or not TCP was used, and therewith also examined to see whether or not SYN and ACK were sent, as is carried out in one embodiment of the invention.
[0034] A checksum is a sum that is calculated by discerning the whole of the IP-header as a number of mutually summated 16-bit words. If this field does not agree with the computation carried out upon arrival of the packet, the packet is discarded.
[0035] The SourceAddress reveals the address from which the packet is sent, i.e. the origin of the packet, this being required in order to be able to reply to a message. The address of origin may, for instance, be an IP-address, such as 220.127.116.11.
[0036] The DestinationAddress reveals the address to which the packet shall be sent, in other words the terminal address. This address is used by each router in making a decision and determining the route along which the packet shall be forwarded in the network. The receiver address may, for instance, be an IP-address, such as 184.108.40.206. When IP is used in conjunction with the invention, it is this field together with the aforesaid source address field that is used to ascertain whether or not the data packet shall be accepted.
[0037] Although options is not normally used, it can, however, be used to indicate a particular route through the network, and Data is the actual payload data that may consist of the subject matter to the dispatch, for instance, text, pictures or speech.
[0038]FIG. 4 shows the construction of a TCP-header. The TCP-header also consists of several 32-bit words. The first field SrcPort indicates the port that was used in the node from which the packet was sent. DstPort denotes the corresponding port in the node to which the packet shall be sent. Because TCP is a byte-orientated protocol, each byte of data will have a sequence number, which is given by SeqNo. Acknowledgement indicates which sequence is next in line, i.e. the sequence number accepted next by the receiver. HdrL denotes the length of the header.
[0039] In the field Flags, which consists of 6 bits, the content of the packet is disclosed in slightly more detail, where the bit order is as follows: URG-ACK-PUSH-RESET-SYN-FIN, wherewith each bit has the following connotation:
[0040] URG which is a flag for urgent data conceived for use in signalling important messages concerning traffic;
[0041] The ACK-bit (010000 in Flags), which is the flag that states whether or not valid information is found in the Acknowledgement field;
[0042] PUSH, which is used when wishing to send collected data directly, without waiting to fill a complete packet, PUSH being used for instance, in telnet where each written character is sent directly;
[0043] RESET which indicates that the receiver of data has obtained erroneous information, for instance an unexpected segment with the wrong sequence number or the wrong Checksum, and therewith wishes to terminate the connection;
[0044] SYN-bit (000010 in Flags), which are used when establishing a TCP-connection; and
[0045] FIN, which is used when a connection shall be terminated.
[0046] AdvWindow indicates the size of the transmission window used, i.e. how much data is sent before a receiving acknowledgement can be expected. Checksum is a sum that is calculated by summating the contents of the header, so as to ascertain whether or not this content is in agreement with the received content. UrgPtr indicates the number of bytes of urgent data (if URG is placed in Flags). TCP-choice can be specified in options, and the Data-field is the payload data sent.
[0047]FIG. 5 is a schematic image of the so-called three way handshake algorithm used by TCP for establishing a connection. The client commences by sending to the server a segment, (Flags=SYN, SeqNo=x) that indicates which sequence number the client intends to use. The server then responds with an acknowlegement (Flags=ACK, SeqNo=y) of the client's sequence number and an own sequence number (Flags=SYN, Ack=x+1) that the server intends to use. Finally, the client responds with a third segment (ACK, Ack=y+1) that confirms the server's sequence number.
[0048] This algorithm is used between all end nodes that send data therebetween, regardless of whether it involves two clients, two servers, or one server and one client. Although the handshaking algorithm shown by way of example is for TCP, it will be understood that other handshake algorithms may alternatively be used in accordance with the invention, for instance a WAP handshake algorithm.
[0049] According to one embodiment of the invention, only SYN/ACK is studied in order to ascertain whether or not packets arriving from this session will be accepted. This reduces the number of outgoing packets that need to be checked. All that is required is to look when a connection is established, therewith obviating the need to check outgoing packets in said session.?
[0050] FIGS. 1-5 now give a background that leads to the invention itself, i.e. how data packets are filtered. This is described below chiefly with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
[0051]FIG. 6 is a flow chart for outgoing data packets in one embodiment of the invention. The first step 201 involves ascertaining whether or not data packets are affiliated with a handshake protocol. The second step 202 involves ascertaining whether or not an outgoing data packet belongs to a handshake procedure, which when TCP is used is shown, for instance, in the abovementioned field Flags, where SYN and/or ACK may be given. These two steps can be carried out within the concept of the invention to reduce the number of outgoing data packets that shall be examined.
[0052] The third step 203 involves examining the destination address of the data packet, which, when Internet Protocol (IP) is used, can be found in the DestinationAddress of the IP-header, which states the address to which each data packet shall be sent.
[0053] The next step 204 involves finding the destination address of the outgoing data packet in the list of accepted addresses.
[0054] Step 205 is implemented when the response in the preceding step 204 is NEGATIVE, meaning that the address is not included in the list. The user is then asked whether or not the destination address of the outgoing data packet shall be included in the list.
[0055] Step 206 involves including the address in the list, if the user answers YES to the question.
[0056] Step 207 involves releasing the packet for transportation out in the network. This step can follow step 204, 205 or 206, depending on the answers given to the afore said questions and the result of the list scan, or whether or not automatic updating of the list shall be used instead of asking a question of the user in this regard.
[0057]FIG. 7 is a flow chart for incoming data packets in one embodiment of the invention. The first step 100 involves examining the address of origin of the data packet. This can be seen, for instance, in the SourceAddress field of the IP-header when using Internet Protocol.
[0058] The next step 101 involves looking for the address in the list of accepted addresses.
[0059] Step 102 is carried out when the address cannot be found in the preceding step 101, meaning that the sender is unknown/not accepted.
[0060] The user is then asked whether or not he is willing to receive the data packet nevertheless.
[0061] Step 103 is carried out when the user states in the preceding step 102 that he does not wish to receive the packet. The packet will then be erased. Alternatively, this step is carried out immediately after step 101 when the address cannot be found and the user does not wish to ask this question for each unknown sender.
[0062] Step 104, which means that receipt of the packet in the node is avoided, may take place after several steps (101 or 102), depending on whether or not the address is found in the list or depending on the answer given to said question.
[0063] The list of accepted addresses of origin might include both addresses statically inserted in the list and addresses that are generated automatically. This enables a user to create the list beforehand or to update the list with accepted addresses of origin. Alternatively, the list can be created or updated automatically by including the addresses to which data packets are sent automatically in the list, in accordance with the invention.
[0064] The person applying the invention may, for instance, be a person who uses a wireless connection to the Internet, via node N4 in FIG. 1. The user then sends an email to a user connected via node N6 in FIG. 1, and requests home a number of web pages from Node N3. The user then considers the addresses of nodes N6 and N3 to be reliable. If a file is sent from a person who does not have one of the aforesaid addresses of origin, the file is erased before our person receives the file on his computer. Thus, in the case of this example, the invention can be implemented in a node upstream of our user, for instance in the penultimate node—which may be the base station—prior to the file being sent to our user in a wireless node. This is done in order to save space on the limited bandwidth in the air interface.
[0065] It will be understood that the invention is not restricted to the aforedescribed and illustrated exemplifying embodiments thereof and that modifications can be made within the scope of the accompanying claim.

We are child specialist with over 20 years combined exclusive child training who know how to identify underlying cause of behavior difficulty. We know children inside and out! We work closely with parents and coach them. First we meet with parents alone to understand the problem, second we meet wit the child alone and third we meet again with parents to form a plan of action. You can expect sessions to follow a pattern and we build skills in your child and confidence in you as a parent. Families leave treatment feeling stronger, knowing how to handle problems in the future. Areas of expertise are anxiety; depression; ADHD, OCD, Spectrum and all behavioral issues.
Children face many challenges today that can seem overwhelming. Often they have difficulty expressing their feelings properly and/or managing their behavior. As a family specialist, I employ a variety of child-friendly strategies to help children learn how to confront their challenges and exercise control over their thoughts, feelings and behavior. I am a contributing author on the subject of play therapy in two clinical books and have a playroom filled with puppets, arts, sand tray, an imaginative games that provide a means for children to engage in counseling as a positive experience.
At Mark D. Parisi, Psy.D. & Associates, P.C., we have well-respected expertise in providing comprehensive treatment of child and adolescent behavioral healthcare issues. Our staff of licensed child psychologists, pediatric counselors, and pediatric nurse practitioners, are able to offer targeted evaluation and treatment of a wide array of issues affecting young children. We provide evaluation and treatment of ADHD, OCD, Defiance in Childen and Teenagers, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attachment issues, and learning problems in school.
For 10 years Abby has been working with children who have behavorial and social issues. Through play and art therapy she helps them to explore different ways to express their feelings and emotions appropriately. Using these methods Abby helps these children to improve their social skills, along with the involvement of the parents, in the therapy process.
Play is a child's first language. Play therapy treats children in their native "language."
I have two decades of play therapy experience, and a clinician on staff whom I am mentoring in play therapy, I have around 15 years of experience providing clinical supervision and consultation.
Currently my practice is limited to older children (typically 12 and up), teens, and adults. However, I pay close personal attention to every case my associate treats. In addition, I love to work with (all-too-often neglected) parents. YOU need support to be able to help your child. Together, we can help meet the needs of you AND your child.
Young children are a joy to work with. They approach each person, object, or even a sunset with such appreciation and wonder. As a former preschool teacher I integrate my teaching experience with my counseling training to provide comprehensive and child centered play therapy. Children communicate their thoughts and emotions through their play and toys; I am here to listen, care, and understand. My office has a private play are with a wide variety of toys so children can feel free to express their feelings, emotions, and worries. As a former teacher I understand parents' concerns, and will keep consistent communication between me and the child's parents.
I can work with children who are verbal from 6 or 7 and up. I can also treat them with EMDR. When I work with a young child, I insist that the parents see me seperately at least once to get a feel for the dynamics of the family and if there have been any losses, or traumas in the family.
Having rased children myself I know how to help children feel "safe"and comfortable with me.
Is your child out of control? Choosing behaviors which concern you? Seeing distress or anything unusual in youth can be unnerving. This is why Joe begins by educating parents and children on the nature of their issues. He then seeks to create a cohesive network of support between care givers, himself, school, and any other collaterals in the child's life. Joe utilizes a blend of client centered and play therapy with youth in order to help give them a strong voice in this network as well. Call or email today to begin finding solutions.
I am a court appointed special advocate which means that I must be very careful with taking just children without the family or foster family intake. This is a new area for staying connected center. I will work with young children if they come in as a family and then they demonstrate the need and ability to handle a one on one session. Therapy for the younger children will include the possibility of reaching out to their teachers, coaches, and other support individuals
Working with young children is a challenge for many people because it involves speaking their "language" which often involves play, art and other expressive therapies. As a trained child and adolescent counselor, I have had experience working with children as young as three in the realm of expressive therapies to play out what is going on in their world and ways to cope with it.
If you have children who need professional counseling, a child psychologist Homer Glen IL, child therapist with Theravive is the best place to turn to. Each Homer Glen IL child psychologist with us has experience and training working with children and understands the unique dynamics involved in the treatment of a child in Illinois.

Movie Review Embargoes Still Relevant in the Internet Age?
On September 9, 2008 By JETLaw January 29, 2014
Jabba the Hutt, a corrupt slug-like alien crime lord on the fictional desert planet of Tatooine, might very well have been a frequent enforcer of trade embargoes as he furthered his criminal enterprise. In 2008, in America, however, such embargoes in the film industry might seem anachronistic — a throwback to the pre-blogging age of [...]Continue Reading →

CBA Negotiations III: Why Can't We All Just...Get Along?

Hamrlik is just mad because he is at the end of his career and this lockout may end it. It is somewhat selfish to act the way he is acting. He doesn't give a crap about the new CBA because it will affect him very little. The guys it will affect are the guys with years to play under the CBA. Anyone (not just Hamrlik) who whines about not having a deal done just to get a deal done is silly. That is how you screw your fellow players (and potentially yourself). The point of the Union is to get the best deal possible, not just sign any deal in order to get back on the ice. I hate this lockout as much as the next, but just signing a deal because it will get people on the ice is silly.
For fans, it sucks to see this and sucks that it seems like Fehr is just playing hardball for no reason. But you have to look at the big picture. He is fighting to give the players a better deal. He isn't doing it to make a name for himself and he isn't doing it to piss of the owners or the fans. The players wanted a guy who will bargain hard for them and get them the best deal. Just giving in for the sake of getting the game back on the ice would be great for the fans, but not a smart move for the players. Hence, the lockout is still ongoing.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The army officer and alleged collusion in Yemen
17 Aug 2010 18:59 GMT
'What's wrong with that?'
In an Israeli radio interview on Tuesday, Abergil said she could not understand the outrage over the photographs.
"What's wrong with that? I don't understand," she told Israel's Army Radio. "There was no violence in the pictures, there was no disrespect."
Abergil claimed that she was photographed "innocently," that the blindfolded and cuffed Palestinians were merely "in the background" of the photographs, and that the images had no "political significance."
The Israeli military has sought to distance itself from the controversy, saying Abergil is no longer a serving member of the country's army. "This is shameless behaviour by the soldier," a military spokesman told Al Jazeera.
The army also posted a video on YouTube calling the photos "shameful" and "disgraceful."
Captain Barak Raz, the Israeli army spokesman who appeared in the video, said the photographs were in "total opposition" to the army's "ethical code".
Humiliating treatment
Abergil was discharged from the military a year ago, meaning authorities had no power to prevent her from posting the pictures on the internet. The photographs were removed from the website late on Monday.
But Ghassan Khatib, the Palestinian Authority spokesman, said that the images typified the treatment meted out to Palestinians by Israeli troops.
"This is an example of life under occupation," he said. "All aspects of occupation are humiliating. We call on the international organisations, starting with the UN, to work hard to end the occupation, because it is the source of humiliation for Palestinians and a source of corruption for the Israelis."
Sami Ershied, a lawyer based in Jerusalem, told Al Jazeera that the pictures show illegal activity. "It's illegal to humiliate prisoners in this way," he said.
"It's illegal to publish these pictures in public showing this soldier making fun of these prisoners."Special unit
It is not the first time that the Israeli military has been embarrassed by material posted on the internet. In March, officers were forced to call off a raid in the West Bank after a soldier posted details, including the time and place, of the operation on Facebook before it took place.
Earlier this year, the Israeli military set up a special unit to monitor information posted online. Members of the unit scan websites including Facebook, Twitter and MySpace looking for sensitive or embarrassing material.
Israeli authorities have issued strict instructions to soldiers regarding the type of information and photographs that they may post online about themselves and their military service.

This story concludes our weeklong look at Brooklyn's greatest treasure, Prospect Park.
Brooklyn, one building at a time.
Name: Prospect Park Picnic House
Address: 95 Prospect Park West
Cross Streets: Behind Litchfield Villa at 5th Street and Prospect Park West
Neighborhood: Closest to Park Slope
Year Built: 1927
Architectural Style: Colonial Revival
Architect: J. Sarsfield Kennedy
Other Work by Architect: The "Gingerbread House" in Bay Ridge; houses in Prospect Park South, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope and elsewhere
Landmarked: Yes, in 1975. Also on the National Register of Historic Places
The story: The grass had hardly begun to grow in the new Prospect Park before eager picnickers swarmed the Long Meadow and other areas, ready to enjoy the outdoor spaces. The year was 1868, and the park wasn't even done yet.
The city had already received seven requests for permits from groups of over 100 who wanted to have picnics. In response, a picnic shelter and concession stand was built in 1876.
The popularity of the park grew steadily, and as time went by, more shelters, restaurants and other buildings were added inside the park, all designed to make the park experience easier for patrons and to add to the park's ambiance. Some of the buildings were quite charming, some quite unusual, and some just silly. (more…)

Virginia Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II holds a robust 36-point lead over Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling in a 2013 Republican gubernatorial primary match-up, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Mr. Cuccinelli held a sizable advantage over Mr. Bolling among every demographic, though 34 percent said they did not know who they favored, wouldn't vote, or planned to vote for somebody else, according to the poll released by Quinnipiac University. The attorney general performed particularly well with people who said they identified with the tea party, who favor him 67 percent compared to 8 percent who preferred Mr. Bolling. A quarter of tea partiers were undecided.
The poll was conducted from May 30 to June 4. The question on the 2013 primary was asked of 549 Republicans with a margin of error of 4.2 percent.
Aside from the Republican primary question, the poll surveyed 1,282 registered voters, and has a margin of error of 2.7 percentage points.
Twenty-eight percent of those polled identified themselves as Republicans. Out of the remaining respondents, 31 percent said they were Democrats, 33 percent were independents, and 8 percent said "other" or didn't know.
Among all voters, 36 percent approved of Mr. Bolling's job performance, while about a fifth disapproved and just under half were undecided. Meanwhile, 46 percent approved of Mr. Cuccinelli's job performance, compared to about a third who disapproved and a quarter who were undecided.
The numbers provide more evidence that Mr. Bolling, who enjoys the backing of Gov. Bob McDonnell in his 2013 run, still faces an uphill climb among the Republican electorate. He could face an even tougher battle if the Republican State Central Committee votes to hold a convention to elect the party's candidate rather than a primary. In October 2011, the SCC voted to hold a primary for the 2013 race.
A convention, attended by the most ardent party enthusiasts, would likely benefit Mr. Cuccinelli, a darling of the more conservative wing of the GOP. Mr. Cuccinelli favors a convention, while Mr. McDonnell and Mr. Bolling are on the record as favoring a primary. The party plans to reconsider the 2011 decision at its annual convention next weekend.
Mr. McDonnell himself had a 53 percent job approval rating. Nearly a third of respondents disapproved of his performance and 17 percent were undecided. Mr. McDonnell's approval rating, which would be the envy of many politicians in Washington and across the country, has hovered between 55 percent and 62 percent in Quinnipiac polls between last June and February before dipping to 53 percent in March.
"Although Gov. McDonnell's numbers have come down from their highs in the 60s, he still ranks among the nation's more popular governors," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Moreover, a poll released this week by Rasmussen reports put Mr. McDonnell's job approval at 64 percent.
Nevertheless, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat, got the highest marks in the Quinnipiac poll, with a 60 percent approval rating. Respondents were nearly equally split on whether they disapproved or had no opinion of his performance. Retiring U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, a Democrat, had a 48 percent approval rating, about a quarter of respondents both disapproving of his performance or having no opinion.
In the incredibly tight U.S. Senate match-up between Democratic nominee Tim Kaine and likely Republican nominee George Allen, Mr. Kaine held a slight 44 percent to 43 percent lead. Neither man, though, has managed to hold a lead outside the margin of error since Quinnipiac started polling the race.

Praise God for your brother!<quoted text>
My brother is a born-again Christian and is very passionate about it, much the way you seem to be.
If faith brings one peace and comfort, and there is no attempt to force it on others, no harm done.
It sounds as though you're having good results.
Merry Christmas.
I went from feeling like a cage lion to someone with peace and joy unspeakable (which I read about later in the bible):)
It is Very Hard, when you know the Truth about the most important matter in life, and not want others, those you love especialy to have what you have.
We sometimes try to force or push it on others, but I realize that's not the way.
What I can talk a man into, another man can talk him out of.
Merry Christmas to you and yours :)

1993 Dodge Shadow
Hello. I am hoping someone can help me out with my 93 dodge shadow. It has 145k miles with a recently rebuilt engine, new heads and transmission. Since I have had the car it has always had a little bit of " hesitation" every now and then but its never been that bad. I'm not sure if this hesitation is related to my current problems or not, but it recently started to overheat alot, so I had the entire cooling system replaced but it is still overheating sometimes and there is some kind of liquid pouring into the car on the passenger side floorboard (condensation?). I notice this mostly when the AC is on. Then my brakes suddenly went out as I was going down the road. I got the car safely off the road but now it wont start. I am at a loss, and I dont know much about cars but I thought perhaps it was a bad fuel pump? Please help.

Ok first thing, liquid on the floor board could be a sign of a leaking heater core, which yes, will result in the vehicle overheating due to the loss of coolant. Now the brakes on the other hand has nothing to do with the coolant leak. You either have a leaking wheel cylinder, caliper, brake hose, or a faulty master cylinder that will give you brake failure. Anyway let me know what you find : wink:

text: on Dec 8, 2013 @ 5:31 PMDec 8, 2013 @ 5:31 PM PublishedIndia's ruling party stumbles as opponent Modi marches onBy Sruthi Gottipati and Mike Collett-WhiteNEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's ruling Congress party has a very big problem, and his name is Narendra Modi.With no more than five months to go before nearly 800 million people choose their next leader, the prime ministerial candidate for the main opposition party has seized the initiative through rabble-rousing speeches at huge rallies across the country.Results from local elections in four states, announced on Sunday, suggest Modi, chief minister of economic powerhouse Gujarat in the west of the country since 2001, has helped galvanise his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).The BJP retained Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh and ousted Congress in Rajasthan. In Delhi, the BJP was the biggest party, with Congress pushed from first to third place by an impressive debut from the anti-corruption Aam Aadmi Party.The outcome represented a vote of no-confidence in Congress as much as one of confidence in Modi, but it was a humiliating blow that the opposition candidate will ruthlessly exploit.Congress has floundered in the face of the Modi phenomenon. It is unsure how seriously to take him, undecided on what to do next and hampered by a presumptive leader who has lacked his challenger's charisma, leaving the party drifting at a crucial juncture.Senior figures within Congress - in power for the last nine years, and historically the dominant force in Indian politics - have long dismissed Modi as irrelevant."Modi has come in a flash and will go in a flash," said one influential party member in a recent interview."Congress has been here for 128 years and will survive god knows how many hundreds of years more," he added, in a now-familiar refrain from the party's top brass.That argument is becoming harder to sustain.But as Congress fumbles for a response, one name dominates debate at the party's slightly shabby headquarters in the leafy centre of the capital: Rahul Gandhi.Vice president of Congress and scion of a dynasty that has towered over Indian politics since independence, the 43-year-old is the obvious choice to rally his party and unite voters by playing up its secularist agenda and social welfare schemes.Rahul's mother, Sonia, Congress president and the power behind Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, will also play a key role in the party's election strategy and campaigning, although younger leaders see Rahul as their figurehead.AVOIDING A FIGHT?If only it was that simple.Congress insiders familiar with Rahul's thinking have expressed concern over his preoccupation with long-term reform of the party, something they say is important and necessary but could prove costly given the more pressing matter of elections."My frustration is that he is too forward-looking," said Jairam Ramesh, minister of rural development and one of the most outspoken figures in the Congress leadership."He's talking of structure, systems; he's talking of building up Congress in the long term, whereas we are now faced with fighting an election in the short term," he told Reuters last month.However, even if they could persuade Rahul to focus fully on the 2014 vote, party officials wonder if pitting him against the crowd-pleasing Modi in a one-on-one contest would be wise.Even if Congress wins, the 81-year-old Singh is expected to step down as prime minister after the election.Modi has deliberately sought to turn the 2014 election into a presidential-style race between himself and Rahul by projecting his personal achievements and convictions over those of the BJP, and by mercilessly goading the Gandhis.In his speeches, Modi ridicules Rahul by calling him "shehzada", or "prince", highlighting his opponent's privileged upbringing that contrasts strikingly with his own roots as the son of a tea-seller.There is method in his mockery. Congress has traditionally enjoyed support among the poor, due to farm subsidies and food handouts, and so Modi is targeting its core vote.Rallies and media debates have been light on policy so far.Modi has highlighted his pro-business credentials in Gujarat, and sees his economic record as a way of tapping into India's aspirational masses who are growing impatient over what they see as stagnation, complacency and endemic corruption under Congress-led governments since 2004.Both Gandhis have boasted of their successes in welfare. But they have avoided playing one potentially strong card for fear of appearing to exploit mistrust among India's sizeable religious minorities of Modi's Hindu nationalism.That suspicion dates back to 2002, when Hindu mobs killed more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, in the state of Gujarat, shortly after Modi became chief minister there. Modi, 63, denies accusations that he could have done more to prevent the clashes, or that he encouraged them.In a sign that the gloves may finally be coming off, however, the Congress-led coalition said last week it would seek to pass a long-delayed communal violence bill that would increase central powers over states' handling of such unrest.MOTHER AND SON?Congress leaders say the party may not identify its candidate for prime minister until after the election, which is expected to be held some time in April.That would allow Rahul to campaign alongside his mother, protecting him to some extent and drawing on Sonia's authority and experience in the run-up to the vote.Beyond fears that Modi would win a confrontational campaign, which analysts expect to become increasingly nasty the closer the election gets, Congress insiders also believe it might help promote the BJP in regions where its footprint is negligible.Congress is banking on the opposition failing to win many votes in the south, for example. To set up the election as a Gandhi-versus-Modi duel might erode that advantage.Now that state elections are over, India's political parties can focus on the big prize, the Lok Sabha - parliament's lower house - where 272 seats are needed for an outright majority.Few expect either of the main rivals to get anywhere near that total, meaning regional parties will again be instrumental in deciding who rules the world's biggest democracy.In terms of coalition building, Congress has the advantage, political analysts say, because Modi is such a divisive figure.They estimate that the BJP needs to win at least 180 seats, compared with 116 in the last election in 2009, to build enough momentum to convince non-traditional partners to join, underlining the scale of Modi's task.For Modi, thoughts of partnerships are premature.He wants to project a statesman-like image across India to reach regions where the BJP has long been weak, using rallies, covered extensively on news channels, and an elaborate social media strategy that has eclipsed that of Congress.Congress, meanwhile, is waiting for Modi to trip up. As he moves on from populist rhetoric, he will be more prone to mistakes, says Ajay Maken, chief media manager for Congress."I personally feel ... that Modi has already peaked. And we have not started yet."(Additional reporting by Frank Jack Daniel and Shyamantha Asokan; Writing by Mike Collett-White; Editing by John Chalmers and Alex Richardson)

By Thomas Nguyen June 18, 2015 Updated: June 18, 2015 6:16pm
Imagine a night when Houston's best restaurants close for an evening to serve a complimentary meal for a charitable organization. Each restaurant would select a charitable cause that pulls at their heartstrings and provide a memorable dining experience for members of an associated non-profit group that supports that cause.
The goal: to provide an opportunity for all involved to forget their current circumstances while enjoying a nice meal and camaraderie among each other, as well as to serve as a reminder that each one of us matters. The event would be equally or possibly even more rewarding for restaurant staff and volunteers who are there to make sure each guest's dining experience is memorable in the most magnificent way. This is not about monetary donations. This is about providing something much more valuable – our time.
Our hope, if we're successful, is that similar events will happen in Houston and beyond its borders and will be known as "Table Service Day."
A lot of people I shared this idea with thought I was crazy and that other restaurants would never consider participating. Would these establishments really close for dinner and lose an entire night's revenue? Wouldn't it be easier just to write a check? Would restaurant patrons really want to volunteer to serve others? For many, it would mean coming directly from their nine-to-five job and working another four to five hours. But I have faith in this town and believe there are people who care and want to give back to their community.
Clutch City, this is what you did. Mayor Annise Parker's office proclaimed June 15 as "Table Service Day" and this past Monday, I, along with my partners, Michael Tran and Chef Paul Friedman, consultant Chan Do, and our staff and loyal patrons, successfully completed our first Table Service event at Peli Peli Galleria.
Benefitting and in honor of Star of Hope, which serves Houston's homeless population and families in crisis, we titled our event "Starry Night." With the help of Scott Arthur, Star of Hope's director of public relations, we designed an elegant evening featuring a three-course South African dinner for more than 150 homeless clients and Star of Hope staff.
To go above and beyond, prior to dinner we sent volunteer makeup artists to Star of Hope to provide makeovers to 60 women who would be attending the dinner. Makeup is often taken for granted, but it is a luxury for women at the Star of Hope. Next, we rolled out the red carpet and hired a professional photographer to take individual and group photos upon their arrival. We wanted to capture this memory for our guests and give them a reminder that people care and that there is hope.
We wanted to create a sense of community with our guests and volunteers, so we set purple as the color theme for Starry Night. All of the Peli Peli staff and volunteers wore purple attire to commemorate the night. The dining room LED ceiling was adjusted to mimic a beautiful purple sunset with stars. Trendy Treasure Florist, owned by Lana Ward who is married our server Robert Ward, donated several table arrangements that added a special touch to our evening.
Although rain and the threat of Tropical Storm Bill prevented 50 of our customer volunteers from attending, 37 braved the weather to serve others. Though the evening started off a bit crazy with volunteers and Star of Hope guests arriving at the same time, once everyone got settled in and took initiative to make sure each guest was seated and taken care of, the night became magical.
Volunteers served food and drinks to each table, chatted with guests, gave tours of the restaurant, and explained our David Garibaldi paintings, as well as the Twelve Tribes of Israel that are carved into the dining room walls. No matter what task they were doing, they all did it with a smile. It was inspiring to see that every volunteer captured the spirit of Starry Night and Table Service Day just as I had envisioned.
After the opening prayer from Hank Rush, Star of Hope's President and CEO, our inaugural Table Service dinner began with passed hors d'oeuvres followed by a salad and the "Starry Night Surf & Turf," featuring Kingklip, a popular white, flaky South African fish and filet medallions topped with garlic butter, a side of mango coleslaw and carrot bredie (our version of mashed potatoes made with carrots, leeks and potatoes). We finished off the experience with our most popular dessert, Sticky Toffee Pudding, a British dessert made with dates and toffee sauce.
Our goal was to provide the same dining experience any of our guests would receive at Peli Peli Galleria. This includes Chef Paul visiting each table, and a personal birthday song from our server/aspiring singer/songwriter Latoya Williams. That night, LaToya wowed the crowd with her rendition of "Happy Birthday" sang to Star of Hope's Scott Arthur, followed by a performance of the gospel hymn, "His Eye is on The Sparrow." I had never heard the song before, but seeing Latoya's raw emotion while singing gave me goosebumps and brought tears to some. I could not have imagined a better ending to the evening.
So what's next for Table Service Day? Help us create a movement by asking your favorite restaurant to participate in Table Service Day. Then, use the hashtag #tableserviceday when sharing about your Table Service event through social media. My vision is for every Houston restaurant to be involved in this movement and create a tradition that will inspire restaurants in cities across the nation to give and serve their communities.
Now, who's next?

How do we describe Peli Peli? In one word, FLAVOR! Peli Peli (also known as Piri
Piri or Peri Peri), which means Bird's-Eye Chili, is a spice that was discovered
by the Portuguese in the 15th Century on the plains of Southern Africa. The
spice rapidly became popular when used to prepare sauces and marinades for
chicken and seafood cuisine. Peli Peli's cuisine, known as South African Fusion,
features authentic South African delicacies along with American steak, chicken and
seafood favorites that are prepared in Chef Paul Friedman's South African style. Read More →

Fire destroys police vehicles in Norwich
NORWICH An early morning fire engulfed three police vehicles Thursday in Norwich, decimating the towns fleet. The cause was undetermined but not suspicious, according to fire investigators.
Officer Francis Schippert said the fire was believed to have spread from one vehicle to the others parked nearby.
Someone called 911 around 2:40 a.m. to report a car on fire in the Norwich Police Department parking lot, according to police. The fire caused the total loss of a 2008 Dodge Charger, 2009 Dodge Charger and 2010 Ford Explorer, police said.
For a small town, it definitely takes us out (in terms of) having the police fleet down, Schippert said. Luckily nobody was hurt.
The vehicles were insured. The estimated property loss was about $100,000.
The town is borrowing vehicles from the Hartford Police Department and Windsor County sheriffs office.MORE IN This Just InBERLIN A 42-year-old Barre City man was arrested for disorderly conduct on June 27, police said.
