Sick new twist on 'courier' scam leads pensioner couple in Cambridge to hand over £10,000 of jewellery to con artists
Posted: May 08, 2014|
A couple in Cambridge handed over £10,000 of jewellery to con artists in a devastating twist on the 'courier scam' which has left families distraught and appalled police.
One of the tricksters posing as a police officer called the pensioners in Trumpington this week claiming detectives believed they were a target for burglars.
The couple were told to gather all their valuables and hand them to a 'courier' for 'safekeeping'.
The criminal gang then sent the bogus courier and the vulnerable couple unwittingly handed over the jewels, worth about £10,000.

In this latest cruel twist on the scam, brazen and "persuasive" con artists are now asking victims in the Cambridge area to list all their valuables and then quiz them over holiday plans.
Since Friday, there have been four attempts and two successful scams in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.
Det Sgt Emma Compson said: "This scam is hitting Cambridgeshire and a number of other counties across the country. The fraudsters are very persuasive and are now convincing the victims to get valuable items out of the house.
"One victim didn't realise it was a scam until it was too late and is now scared to leave the house.
"We are working closely with other police forces, banks, post offices and other partner agencies to raise awareness of the scam and remind people to be suspicious if they receive a phone call similar to this.
"You should never give any bank cards, cash or valuables to anyone at your door, even if they say they are from your bank or the police."
Previously the fraudsters would persuade victims to hand over bank cards and PIN details to a 'courier'.
They even used innocent taxi drivers as couriers, as the News reported.
In the previous scam, the victim is called by someone claiming to be a police officer and told a criminal has been arrested with a substantial sum of money on them and a list of names and addresses, including the victim's.
They also claim a criminal has been attempting to buy goods with a cloned credit card in the victim's name and that a bank is under investigation for putting forged notes into the resident's account.
But in the new development, the criminal claims the victim is at risk of being burgled and asks for details about high-value items.
They then advise the victim to call their bank using a number on the back of their bank card. The victim hangs up but the caller does not and the call is not terminated.
Without realising it, the victim starts talking to the fraudster again, thinking they have called their bank.
Following a conversation, the offender says he will arrange a courier to collect the items.
Police have urged victims to call 999 to report any incident while in progress or call Action Fraud on 0300 1232040 after an incident.

Trip – thanks for the courteous and educated response. My response would have been… Poor Ralph, you stupid, stupid man.
Hey Thumper – when so quick to criticize, perhaps you should proof your own comments… Did you mean to listen to a novel idea ("hears a novel idea") or did you mean to present a novel idea ("here's a novel idea")?
Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing your memories with us.
"He said that he thought the drinks had just been left there and they didn't belong to anyone."
Wow! Really!?! Why is that? Is it because they were unattended in a secure parking lot? Well then it must be ok… Some people just can't think beyond themselves. And yet, this guy was chosen as the leader of an eight person panel. Things that make you go hmmmm….
This is welcome news. I am familiar with the system in Westfield, although Westfield doesn't have the benefit of the combined recycling cart. The barrels are easier to maneuver than standard trash barrels, and hold far more trash than I usually generate. My only issue will be determining where to store the barrels; but the benefits in efficiency of the process, combined with the cost savings, far outweigh my storage issue.
Event held at the Westwood…
Just curious about why the West Springfield Parade Committee would choose to hold their event in Westfield… Are you saying that the Committee could not find a restaurant in West Springfield?
Excellent! I was hesitant to let my Sirius subscription expire because I didn't want to give up ESPN radio. Now – no problem! BTW 105.5 can only be listened to in small doses. Those guys like to hear themselves talk…
Chad on defense?
Was just thinking…do you think Ochocinco could help on defense? Concerned that 5 foot 7 inch Edelman may not be a successful defender on 6 foot+ wide receivers…
Spelling error in the article title….s/b preparation not preperation.
Well said!
This is too bad for John's. The restaurants are going to serve their best selling specialty pizza. Seems to me that if there is a food item that the judge(s) hate, such as broccoli, no matter how good the pizza is, it puts the restaurant at a distinct disadvantage with the judges.
I am enjoying the contest though. I love The Pizza Shoppe (East Longmeadow) and John's (Chicopee). Now because of this contest, I am looking forward to trying The Pizza Guy (Agawam).
Did anyone give any thought to the possibility that Mr. Balise's entire comments were not in included in the article? So often MassLive readers post about one or two sentences in an entire article…and then the rants begin… Don't forget that we are held captive to the inane reporting of this local publisher. That said, a tragedy occurred yesterday at a local business. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's family, friends, coworkers and employer.
Good for West Springfield! Good for Westfield and Southwick too in their efforts towards the rail-trails. Since the 'powers-that-be' are going to allocate funds for parks/recreation, kudos to these communities for making the effort to apply for the funds. If they don't, some other community will. Instead of griping about it here, speak up to the legislators. Perhaps there should be some kind of guideline that moves these allocations to education and law enforcement when the economy reaches a certain level. But until that happens, West Springfield has just as much right to apply for the grant as any other community.
Please Mr Boudo - it's not like you lost by less than 100 votes. The town should not have to incur the expense of a recount.
As a Red Sox fan, I have to admit, Pap is painfully slow. MLB could sell advertising time between pitches. However, the pace of the game has deteriorated on both sides - offense and defense. The focus should be on both sides.
Other than predetermined emergency vehicles, use personal vehicles and reimburse the federal rate for mileage. The mileage reimbursement should only be in excess of the personal commute miles (i.e. you don't get reimbursed for driving to and from work). Sell the city vehicles.

South Carolina's new lieutenant governor, J. Yancey McGill, visited the Town of Mount Pleasant's Stokes-Marshall Senior Services Center Wednesday on a state-wide senior services fact-finding mission. He met with council members Thomasena Stokes-Marshall, Elton Carrier and Mark Smith and toured the facility located at 840 Von Kolnitz Road.
McGill was recently selected to succeed the former lieutenant governor, Glenn McConnell, who vacated the position after being selected as the College of Charleston's new president. A 26-year Senate veteran, McGill is familiar with senior programs and services and believes that "everybody deserves a piece of the pie."
"Lt. Governor McGill's visit to the senior center following his recent appointment speaks volumes for his care, concern and compassion towards the senior population," said Stokes-Marshall. "We were delighted to share with him the variety of recreational, cultural, wellness, educational and social activities that the center provides."
While touring the facility, McGill said that he was excited about the town's direction for its senior services and that he knew that the town's population was continually increasing. He was proud of the example the Town of Mount Pleasant was setting for the rest of the state.
"To have close to 3,000 citizens coming to one of the finest state-of-the-art senior centers anywhere in this state and to come in to see what has happened gives hope to the other areas of South Carolina," he added.
"It was a pleasure meeting the new lieutenant governor and having the opportunity to show off our wonderful senior center," said Recreation Director Ayoub. "I know that he left the center with a very positive impression about our trendsetting efforts to provide meaningful and fulfilling programs for our seniors."

Discussion in 'MLS: General' started by Ismitje, Sep 7, 2009.
Continued from here. Took us just over a year to fll the last one.
I saw a chick driving around Athens the other day with a Crew license plate
athens, greece? sweet!
While in the electronics section of a Wal-Mart just outside St. Louis, observed the demo footage for the TVs was the San Jose- LA Galaxy game in Oakland earlier this year.
Yeah, when I used to work at Walmart they had a video running many times a day.
Haha, I wish. It's Athens, OH
i was at the Brewhouse Cafe in Atlanta this past Saturday to watch the US WCQ and seen an old school DC United Jersey, Old school Bobby Convey US nats jersey, and a couple of LA Beckham jerseys
There seems to have been a spike in "signs of MLS in everyday life" lately.
Passed a dude on the street wearing a Houston Dynamo jersey the other day. This is in Harrison, NJ... about a mile from the nearly completed Red Bull Arena. Was pretty surprised to see that shirt here, but it made me smile.
was at the park, and someone nearby was kicking around a ball with an MLS logo... this was about 30 minutes outside philly.
I saw a homeless man wondering around Hy-Vee in Lees Summit wearing a Wizards T-shirt.
Funny, I saw a chick leaving Yogi's Bar in Dublin, OH driving a black Subaru with a Crew license plate. I think it was Thursday or Friday.
I know it's still a sporting event, but it was unusual to see a kid wearing a green Sounders jersey at a Cubs-Brewers game in early July at Wrigley.
While driving down to Dallas for the game last weekend, we were flipping through the stations on the satellite radio. We stopped on the BBC World Service just as they were talking about the USMNT and Concacaf. They brought on Jimmy Conrad for an interview, asking him about the National Team and then some about MLS and Kansas City. They also asked him about Beckham, and we all laughed when Conrad refered to him as "Goldenballs."
Randomly saw a guy in a TFC jersey walking down Boylston St. in Boston on Tuesday night.
i have been watching sport center for about 6 hours now, yet nothing on mls or soccer.
im about to pass it back to espn deportes, maybe there is a live mls game at 2am
saw a LA jersey in Old Town San Deigo over Labor Day
In McAllen, TX at South Texas College saw a student wearing a FC Dallas jersey.
Drew Carey mentioned the sounders US open cup win on the late late show tonight.
"Its like the daytime emmys of soccer...nobody cares...but its still a trophy!"
That's an absolutely fantastic line.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAYxXg1YkDI"]YouTube - Craig Ferguson 9/11/9E Late Late Show Drew Carey[/ame]
Was stopped at a gas station about a block from my house and saw a guy in a Bekz jersey walking into the Chinese restaurant right next door.
Pretty clear soccer lines visible during the pats game on TV right now.
Was watching the Rams-Seahawks game and saw a few Sounders jerseys in the stands.
Saw a JetBlue plane with the RSL logo on it at the San Diego airport last Sunday.

We wish for them a good new life
It's been 15 long years now since Tara Calico hopped on her bicycle and rode off on one of the regular long rides she took but never returned. It was a story that sent a shiver down the spine of practically everyone in the county. Hundreds of people showed up to search the windswept vegetation along NM 47 south of Rio Communities while others addressed and mailed envelopes with information about the disappearance to police departments across the country.
We cried with Patty and John Doel, Tara's mother and step-father. We worried about other women and girls, didn't want them to go out alone. We wracked our brains, trying to think about what might have happened. We watched as Patty Doel appeared on Oprah and other national television shows, telling her stories, and we hoped against hope that someone could help solve this horrible mystery.
We wanted to sheild this determined mother who never gave up on her efforts to keep the story in the national foreground where clues might be found. We admired her stamina and her determination, and we hoped that we would be like her if something of that awesome magnitude ever happened to us.
After 15 years, Patty Doel is still looking, still hoping. She is an example of bravery and faith, of goodness in the face of unthinkable horror. Not to have an answer for so long is simply unimaginable. We can never know what it is like to walk in her shoes we pray that we never have to at the same time we pray she may have an answer soon.
Now, the Doels are leaving our community, making a move to a new home in Florida. It's something they've planned since they first married a dream of a lovely life. As they go, we would like to wish them the very best in every way. We hope that they may smile, that they may laugh, that they may have something of the life they'd imagined.
We know they will never forget. We can only imagine being reminded by reporters knocking on their door, talking about yet another anniversary, about seeing a girl who looks something like their daughter, about watching a television program that features a similar case, seeing pictures of missing children on milk cartons.
We wish the very best for the Doels they deserve all the joy they can get out of life. They're leaving a community that loves and admires them. Godspeed, Mr. and Mrs. Doel. We all love you.

September 13, 2010 - The Aquinas College Reflection Award is given to an individual who reflects the values of Aquinas College: commitment, vision, service, loyalty, and integrity. In recognition of Joan Secchia's contributions to education and society as a whole, she will receive the Aquinas Reflection Award on Monday, September 20. The evening's events begin at 6 p.m. in the Aquinas College Sturrus Sports & Fitness Center, 1580 East Fulton Street. Secchia became a member of the Aquinas Board of Trustees in 1995 and remained on the Board through 2001. While on the board, she was chair of the Student Affairs Committee and gave a great deal of time and energy to the improvement of campus life. Her leadership and vision were invaluable on the Cook Carriage House renovation project and her creative ideas played an important part in transforming the area into "the place to meet" on campus with the Moose Cafe and offices for various student activities. "We were led and inspired by Joan's genuine concern for student life," said David Weinandy, Ph.D., a communication professor, who also worked on the renovation. "Her dedication to community service is a thoughtful and deliberate act that is a core, natural component of her personality."After receiving her degree and teaching certificate from Michigan State University, Secchia taught fourth grade in an elementary school in Rockford, Michigan. She also taught fifth grade in East Grand Rapids. Her community service is wide-ranging especially in education and children's issues including being an active supporter of the Grand Rapids Public Schools Advancement Foundation and the Grand Rapids Children's Assessment Center. She has served on the boards of Opera Grand Rapids and the Women's Resource Center. She was also board officer and on the executive committee of the Kent County Red Cross and was president of the East Grand Rapids High School Parent, Teacher, Student Association.When Secchia's husband Peter, was appointed as ambassador to Italy in 1989, her commitment to service continued. She was a member of the Fulbright Commission, a board member of USO (United Service Organizations) and was active in promoting Girls' and Boy's Town in Italy. She also was instrumental in the development of a Rome chapter of Navy League. The extensive restoration of the Villa Taverna, residence of the U.S. Ambassadors to Italy, was done with Secchia's planning and direction. She supervised the complete refurbishing of guest suites and public rooms in the historic residence.The Aquinas community is grateful to Secchia for the time, talent and caring she has so graciously given over the years and we are proud to recognize her achievements and commitments with the Aquinas College Reflection Award.>>More Information

Toledo business, civic delegation leaving for China tripWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
A delegation of more than a dozen civic and business leaders are departing Nov. 13 for another trip to China for the purpose of bringing Chinese companies and investments to Toledo and the surrounding region.
The delegation has meetings scheduled with more than a dozen Chinese companies that are considering locating a U.S. operation in the Toledo area and Northwest Ohio. Several of those firms attended the 5 Lakes Global Economic Forum held in Toledo in September.
"This trip is a good follow-up to the forum and to other efforts in China made by Mayor (Mike) Bell, 5 Lakes Global Group, Regional Growth Partnership and others in the business community," said Paul Zito, vice president of international development for Regional Growth Partnership (RGP).
The delegation is a cross section of business and government members from the community. In addition to Mayor Bell, the group includes Dean Monske, president and CEO of RGP, Frank Calzonetti, vice president of research and economic development at the University of Toledo, and other representatives of the high-tech, manufacturing, real estate and services industries, Zito said.
Mayor Bell and Monske will be making presentations on development and investment opportunities in Toledo and Northwest Ohio to hundreds of business people in China, Zito said.
Many of the business delegates on the trip to China will attend the Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen and will also visit Wuhan, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Zito said he will remain at the Hi-Tech Fair while others visit those cities before the delegation returns to Toledo on Nov. 21.
"It is a good way to spread our resources and to utilize the fair for investment and export opportunities. We want solid foreign investments that create good-paying jobs for our region," Zito said.
Exports are an important part of international development in the local region, Zito said.
Exports from 1,500 companies in Lucas, Fulton, Ottawa and Wood counties totaled more than $4 billion in 2010 and were directly responsible for 11,000 jobs and 15 percent of the gross domestic product in the Toledo metro area, ranking 10th nationally, according to the Brookings Institution's Export Nation 2012 report.
RGP works with partners, such as the International Trade Assistance Center and UT's Global Target program to promote exports from this region, Zito said.
Although China has received a lot of attention in the local media recently, Zito said there are other efforts that RGP and its partners have taken to promote international development in this region. They are also planning trips to Canada, Japan and other countries to further promote the region.
"China is just one small piece of the pie when it comes to international development and investments," Zito said.
Investment in the U.S. by China is only 6 percent of the foreign total while investments from the European Union comprise 66 percent, with strong contributions from Canada, Germany, Japan and other countries. RGP's strategies reflect the potential from those other areas around the world, Zito said.
"We plan to focus on renewable energy, automotive manufacturing, plastic polymers and other technologies while promoting exports from this region around the world," Zito said.
RGP is working with others in the region on planned trips to Canada, Japan and other countries to pursue economic development opportunities for Northwest Ohio from those nations.
There are currently more than 150 foreign-owned facilities in Toledo and Northwest Ohio that employ a total of about 21,000 people. Many of those companies have the potential to expand, leading to further investment and job creation, Zito said. Zito said 80 percent of growth and new investment comes from existing companies. There are at least a dozen facilities in the region owned by Japanese interests, for example.
UT is participating in the trip for several reasons, according to an email from Calzonetti, who was attending a conference in Denver and will catch up with the delegation in China.
First, UT is an economic development partner with the City of Toledo. Calzonetti said the school can help provide additional information on why Toledo is a good place for investment as well as a good place to live. Chinese investors may have an interest in UT technologies and academic programs.
UT is also interested in attracting top talent into its academic and research programs.
"We are interested in exploring collaborative relationships with Chinese universities that can bring together the strongest teams to address challenging problems," Calzonetti stated in the email. "Given China's growth as a major market, we need to understand latest trends and initiatives under way that can relate to our research and technology development programs at UT."

Thorns and Roses: 09.22.06
A Missouri woman, Becky Torrez, got curious when her sister-in-law called her to say she had given birth. Her suspicions turned out to be a saving grace for another woman whose baby had been stolen.
Torrez urged her sister-in-law, Shannon Torrez, to take the newborn to the hospital. Shannon Torrez claimed she had been pregnant but suffered a miscarriage. On the way to seek medical help, Becky Torrez rubbed make-up from the baby's face, and discovered a birthmark. The child had in fact been stolen Sunday from a Franklin County woman, Stephenie Ochsenbine, who had been slashed by her attacker. Becky Torrez called police. "She's the hero," said Sheriff Gary Toelke.
A bouquet of ROSES to Torrez for her intervention.
Keeping the faith
The Rev. Kingsley Laws retired in 1979 as a priest, but on Sunday he returned for one more service at his church in Wells, in southwest England. He is 100 years old.
Because of failing eyesight, Laws had to memorize the Communion. But he had a good turnout; the church was packed. At the end he got a rare appreciation from a church congregation - a round of applause. The Church of England said Laws was "most likely" the oldest priest ever to perform a service in the church.
Give the reverend a ROSE for his faithfulness and service to his people.

A pair of dumb waiters for Archduke Charles, 1822-25
Death Chamber of Archduke Carl
Regarding their design and type, these two multi-tiered stands number among the most innovative solutions developed by Viennese cabinetmakers around 1820. Conceived by the Danhauser furniture factory for Archduke Charles, this model is catalogued as Servante no. 33.
In the course of the newly gained intimacy that was gradually manifesting itself in aristocratic apartments, all kinds of shelf units became widespread in private living rooms. They ensured that everyday utensils were permanently available and accessible without having to rely on a helping hand. This is why they were referred to as dumb waiters or servants.
Here the trays, increasing in size towards the bottom, are supported by lateral shafts instead of a central one. Thanks to this ingenious design, the Danhauser furniture factory succeeded in creating continuous display surfaces. The present dumb waiters were used in the palaces so-called Spanish Apartment until 1919.

Dark Souls II - Interview with Brian Hong
Tom Mc Shea interviews Brian Hong from Bandi Namco Games Amierca on the upcoming Dark Souls II.
by Robert Handlery on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
i am far from scared just disappointed i beat dark souls on my new game + offline ...the whole thing no gliching or cheap tricks no mage class just me my elite armour , velik robes and black night sword i have a level 147 one @ 118 and 93 spent probably 300+ hours easy on souls think of the reefer money spent with all those hours of gaming being able to fast travel anywhere right from the beginning sucks B&!!$ ive played demon souls and what i liked better about darks souls was the open seemless world ala metroid compared to a hub structure i mean you open up a short cut through the catheral before the first bell. people are fing lazy and it makes me sick being able to respec is also BS unless it cost half a mil in souls i remember hitting an npc and having to pay 65,000 just to make amends so it better be ridiculously expensive to respec i dont care how many time you die and from what im not you its been made to be more accessible and inviting to the masses .... horrible horrible desicions i make fun of all my friends for not having the patience to beat the intro of dark souls people have been spoon fed for too long and look whats happened side note playin the hell outta pixel dungeon its a fun distraction so good
This interviewee is one hell of a salesman.
i hope "shortly thereafter" really means "shortly". i don't know how much i can wait for the PC version >.>
Iam so looking forward to the game. I loved how they stayed true to the concept - the "difficulty" the bosses horrific visuals and the whole leveling. To the haters/whiners that say its to hard or i dont have the time/patience to play this game. Well thats your problem - not mine. Who cares?? Go play wii tennis or something!
I noticed that huge bozos with big weapons and long attack animations now actually turn as they wind up their power moves.
Good. This breaks the mould that stupider brute-archetype enemies tend to be made from.
I think it's commendable that they stick to their vision with the high difficulty. Of course, it's a lot easier to stick to it now that they have successes behind them, but with the first game I guess it would have been a big risk.
This is a game that I think will be another great game in this series, but it's one that I will not buy since I didn't beat the previous two. The thing is, I do enjoy them and think they have superb aspects, but in the end, like the last commenter, I feel like it's too grindy. Perhaps I'm not playing it correctly, but with both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, what I did, and what made me not finish it through, was that I sat in one large area, upgrading until I felt I was good to go to the next, and that took too long for me to see the next great thing, so I just stopped. I really enjoyed what I played of both of them, but it just took too long for me to get to something new, and that I didn't like. I didn't stop because the game was hard, it's not, not in the way many people make it seem anyways.
Wow, Tom. Great questions, great interview! I often love to hate you, but I have to give you credit when its due.
PS - Joel was just a construction worker post outbreak, not some kind of shady dealer!
When the entire game such as Dark Souls II is a grind just to stay alive I don't see the point. I don't have the patience or the time to play this type of game. Sounds like it could be fun, but dying so many times and without any sort of driven narrative there doesn't really seem to be any point.
@dirkradke To say this game has no story, goes beyond ignorance.
@dirkradke Hmmm well one could argue; what is the point when the narrative is spoon fed to you? The fact that the narrative is to be discovered means there's a reason to explore the world.
but like the guy said the game is popular but still a niche. which is why its soo good, since the ignorant masses have bad taste.
@jupsto @dirkradkeNever played the first game and from all the reviews of the first game said it didn't really have a narrative to be discovered and it was strictly about survival. That is what multiple reviewers said who finished the game. So why do people who don't like the game qualify as ignorant masses with bad taste?
@push88 Doesn't sound like bad story, but it's all in how it's presented. For me the game sounds too hard anyway. At the end of the day there is enough stress in my life without adding playing a video game so I can get a rush at the end because I made it through. But more power to those who like this game.
@dirkradke @jupsto Yeah well, those "reviewers' are wrong. The story is very simple and I'll tell it to you and won't feel bad about spoiling it since your not going to play the fucking game anyway. Basically, humans are becoming "cursed" or undead and know one knows why. So, the "gods" that rule over the land are having them round up and imprisoned because of an old legend that says their reign on the world will come to end at the hands of the "chosen undead". Surprise. You just happen to be the chosen undead in the game. Your character is given a choice at the end but, you find out that basically both choices are "bad". And within that story there are many other sub stories of other warriors on that same journey. I'm assuming in Dark Souls 2 we are going to find out more. I've left out a few details but, that's the gist of it.

I will update this with more pics, when I make my second unit. (I mistakenly didn't take any while I made the first one.)
Step 1: The Supplies
1 Swiffer WetJet - these tend to break pretty easily, so mine was free
1/4" Clear vinyl tubing - length is up to you
1 Hose clamp - as small as you can get
Something to put blood in
Fittings (If you need them for the blood container)
1 SPST switch
4 AA Batteries
Battery Holder (if you want to be fancy)
555 Timer IC
5v regulator
power transistor
(I'm not being specific on purpose. Read on for details.)
Set of KEYED Torx wrenches - special tools that are great for lots of special jobs (See Picture)
Scissors or other cutting implement
Metal file - fine is better
Flat head screwdriver, or nut driver
Soldering Iron + Solder
Wire strippers
Step 2: Disassembly
Be careful, and use gloves if you value your fingers.
Step 3: Sharp Things
The intake is very sharp, and is essentially a really big hypodermic needle. Use the file to take off the point.
Step 4: Intake Modification
Cut a very small (approx. 1/4" length) piece of the tubing that came with the Swiffer WetJet.
Cram the small tubing into the 1/4" tubing - it should be a perfect fit
Modify the hose clamp - bend off the little tabs on the inside of the ring. This will make the hose clamp able to close even tighter, without chewing up your tubing.
Apply the hose clamp to the tubing, directly over the piece of small tubing. Tighten this until there is only the tiniest hole in the tubing.
Push the assembly onto your pump's metal intake. It will stay on without any problems. If you are paranoid, you can add tape. I'm not.
Step 5: Bag - O - Blood
Drain any leftover coffee from the container.
Tear open the cardboard part as you see fit. Recycle to make some hippies happy. Reserve the heavy plastic (mylar if it's good quality) bag that once had coffee in it.
Rinse out the bag, and set it aside. Your focus is now on the cap.
Use your desired fittings (I went with fancy brass, but you don't have to) to make a cap that now has a 1/4" tube attached to it. The other end of this tube should be the one attached to the intake of the pump. (See previous step)
If you can track down some IV gear (saline bags, etc), you may find them better suited for this task.
Step 6: Electrisical Stuff: Part 1 - The Bare Minimum
Set up a simple circuit with your switch, but don't test your pump just yet. It isn't necessarily bad for the motor to run a dry pump, but it's not something you really need to risk.
Use electrical tape or some other method to keep all electronics dry. Do this before adding anything to your blood sac.
Now that everything is ready, it is time to test for leaks. Fill your bag with plain water, and screw the cap back on. Check it for leaks, around the whole thing. Then, turn the bag upside down and check the cap's seal.
If everything looks ok, test your pump out. I was rather impressed with how much liquid it actually could move.
Step 7: Electrisical Stuff: Part 2 - Getting Fancy
Using the schematic, and solder of course, set up the timing circuit. Before adding it to the pump, have the circuit drive an LED. No need to get your fancy $2-3 timer investment fried for no reason.
What we are looking for is a small pulse with space between pulses. Use the potentiometers to adjust your pulse so it seems close. Remember that blood only travels one direction in a given blood vessel, so don't try to get that second "thump."
Waterproof your circuit as best you can, but maintain the ability to adjust the pulses. Depending on how long your effect tubing is, you will need to adjust the pulse duration.
Use a microcontroller circuit, and make the effect as realistic as you like. If your situation calls for an on screen death, you may want to have the pulse length get a little shorter over time. You may also want to add a digital potentiometer or a separate connection with a resistor to end the sequence with a only a fine trickle escaping the fake wound.
Step 8: Blood Recipe
Off-brand Cherry punch mix - About $.10 a pack, and cases from warehouse stores make it even cheaper.
Water - I used 1 qt per pack of punch mix
Mix, and put it into your blood container. If you are lazy like me, just mix it in the container.
Bonus Points:
If you are going to have blood pooling, or moving slowly along skin, start with half the water and add:
Light corn syrup (No measuring. Keep adding until it is thick enough.)
A dash of chocolate syrup (For a little cloudiness)
If you don't feel like throwing away sweet things, you can use cornstarch or powdered gelatin. You're just going to end up cooking the blood until it gets where you want it.
Step 9: The Fun Part: Applying the effect
Run tubing discreetly, underneath clothing. Long sleeves are better for severed hands.
Use the sprayer for blade slashes - If the sprayer is in just the right spot, it will spray the attacker in the face.
Cover the end of the tubing with a makeup effect, or just hide it in your hand by palming.
This effect is a little harder to pull off as a stage/theatrical effect, since a gallon or so of fake blood will slosh around.
For cinema people, don't have dialogue in the scene unless it is absolutely necessary. The pump motor puts off a bit of noise. Wrap it in a washcloth to dampen sound, and put it in the character's pocket if you must have sound.
If you want an even bigger slash-type of spray, check back in a couple months for my next blood instructable.
I am not responsible for any actions taken by anybody who uses this instructable to do something stupid. This is intended for cinema special FX.
I took these pictures on a timer, by myself. They are only to illustrate the effect.

Hornets swarm in 2nd half
That wasn't good news for visiting King, as Flour Bluff scored nearly as many points in the third quarter as it did in the entire first half en route to a 48-24 non-district victory over the Mustangs at Hornet Stadium.
Flour Bluff (2-0 overall) - which has only three returning offensive starters from last season's Division I Region IV-4A runner-up - followed its 30-point outing against Miller in the season opener with a 20-point third quarter against Class 5A King (0-2).
"I was so impressed with our offensive line's play and our ability to spread the ball around," Flour Bluff coach Darrell Andrus said. "It wasn't just a one-man show tonight, and that's what it's going to take. King has a good team - we just played (extremely) well tonight."
"Our kids played hard - Flour Bluff just has a great team, and you have to give them (credit)," King coach Jim Elam said. "They are very good on offense."
Hornets senior quarterback R.J. Long threw two second-half touchdown passes to wide receiver Ryan Flowers (who had 107 yards on four receptions), and running backs Zach Hillenberg and Josh Brunemeier added second-half scoring runs to account for Flour Bluff's 27 points in the final two quarters to break open a four-point game at the half.
The Hornets finished with 517 yards of total offense, including 384 yards rushing.
Flour Bluff senior running back Robert McCormick (who rushed for 134 yards on eight carries) had three first-half touchdown runs to help stake the Hornets to a 21-17 lead going into the half.
Long threw a 46-yard scoring pass to Flowers to open the third quarter. Tex-Ian Soderqvist, playing running back on the play, scored on the 2-point conversion run to extend the Hornets' lead to 29-17 nearly two minutes into the second half.
King responded late in the third quarter as backup quarterback Stephen Morrison - replacing starting quarterback Matt Morales, who left with a shoulder injury - threw a 60-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Chris Jackson. Sieczkowski's extra point brought the Mustangs to within 29-24.
The Hornets scored again on the ensuing possession, as Hillenberg capped a four-play, 80-yard drive with an 11-yard scoring run. Flour Bluff couldn't convert on the 2-point conversion attempt, keeping the score 35-24 with 1:56 remaining in the third.
Junior Trevor Brumley recovered the ensuing onside kick for Flour Bluff after making a diving catch near the Hornets' sideline. Long followed with another touchdown pass to Flowers - this one covering 36 yards - to push Flour Bluff's lead to 41-24, which would be enough on this night against the Mustangs.
Senior linebacker Cody Bell's interception return to King's 33 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter sealed it for the Hornets.
McCormick scored the first three times he touched the ball in the game on TD runs of 13, 14 and 64 yards and had 93 of Flour Bluff's 180 rushing yards in the first half. The Hornets needed just nine rushing attempts in the first two quarters to reach that total.
The Mustangs scored on the game's opening possession, marching 75 yards in five plays and scoring on Ramiro Guerrero's 46-yard pass reception from halfback Aron Alexander. Bennett Sieczkowski kicked the extra point to give the Mustangs a brief 7-0 lead.
Flour Bluff answered with touchdowns on its first two offensive possession to take a 13-7 lead.
The Hornets drove 53 yards - after Hillenberg's 25-yard kickoff return - on four plays on their first drive to knot the game at 7. McCormick's 13-yard scoring run capped the drive, and kicker Corey Foust added the extra point.
Flour Bluff needed just two plays to take the lead on its next possession. McCormick's 64-yard TD run highlighted the drive as he slipped a tackle, reversed field, picked up a key downfield block from Long and scored. The point-after attempt was blocked by the Mustangs to keep the Hornets' lead at 13-7 with a little more than three minutes remaining in the first quarter.
King later used a nine-play drive to pull to within 13-10 on Sieczkowski's 29-yard field nearly four minutes into the second.
McCormick (whose 14-yard scoring scamper was followed by Long's 2-point conversion run) and King running back Philip Thomas (who had a 1-yard run) exchanged touchdown runs to make it a 21-17 game late in the second quarter.
The defensive back Brunemeier's interception on the last play of the second quarter helped Flour Bluff preserve its lead going into the half.

(i) Introductory
1.Origin of the Indian Army. —The Indian Army sprang from very small beginnings. Guards were enrolled for the protection of the factories or trading posts which were established by the Honourable East India Company at Surat. Masulipatam, Armagon, Madras, Hooghly and Balasore in the first half of the seventeenth century. These guards were at first intended to add to the dignity of the Chief Officials as much as for a defensive purpose, and in some cases special restrictions were even placed by treaty on their strength, so as to prevent their acquiring any military importance. Gradually, however, the organization of these guards was improved and from them sprang the Honourable East India Company's European and Indian troops. Both these steadily increased in numbers, until in 1857, it numbered (including local forces and contingents, and a body of 38,000 military police) no less than 3,11,038 officers and men, (Imperial Gazetter of India, 1907, Vol IV (Ch, XI).
2.E.I.,Company's Mutiny Act.—Statutory provision was first made for the discipline of the Honorable East India Company's troops by an Act (27 Geo II, Cap 9) passed in 1754 for "punishing Mutiny and Desertion of officers and soldiers in the service of the United Company of Merchants of England trading to the East Indies,and for the punishment of offences committed in the East Indies, or at the Island of Saint Helena". Section 8 of this Act empowered the Crown to make Articles of War for the government of these troops, and such articles were accordingly made and published. The terms of the Act were wide enough to cover both European and Indian troops, but the language of the articles themselves showed that they were originally intended for Europeans only. In the absence of any other code, however, the Government of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay seem to have applied these articles, with such modification and omissions as appeared necessary, to the bodies of Indian troops maintained by them, of which the present Indian Army is the descendant. In 1813, owing to doubts having arisen as to the legal validity of the existing arrangements for the discipline of the Indian troops, provisions were inserted in the Act (53 Geo III, Cap 155 ss 96 and 97) which was passed in that year to extend the company's privileges for a further term, which legalised the existing system and gave power to each of the Governments of Fort William, Fort Saint George and Bombay to make, laws, regulations, and Articles of War for the government of all Indian officers and soldiers in their respective services. It was further provided in 1824 (4 Geo IV, Cap 81,s 63), that such legislation should apply to the Indian troops of each presidency, wherever serving, and whether within or beyond His Majesty's dominions.

Dec. 31, 1935. w. DINNES CLOSURE FOR COLLAPSIBLE TUBES Filed Jan. 31, 1935 INVENTOR. a; Zhhnes ATTORNEY.
Patented Dec. 31, 1935 PATENT OFFICE CLOSURE FOR COLLAPSIBLE TUBES William Dinnes, Evon Township, Oakland County, Mich.
Application January 31, 1935, Serial No. 4,343
1 Claim.
This invention relates to closures for collapsible tubes. It is an object of the invention to provide such a closure which normally prevents the escape of the contents of the tube, but throughwhich 5 the contents pass when sufilcient pressure is ex erted in the conventional manner upon the walls of the tube; thus I aim to provide a closure no portion of which has to be removed before squeezing some of the contents from the tube.
10 Another object of the invention is to provide such a closure which automatically closes so that a substantially air tight joint is made as soon as pressure upon the walls of the tube ceases.
A further object of the invention is to provide 15 a closure comprising an annular member adapted to be mounted upon the outlet extremity of. a collapsible tube, and having a resilient apertured plate at its outer extremity in combination with a stopper arranged within the annular member 20 which normally closes the plate aperture.
Having thus briefly stated some of the major objects and advantages of the invention, I will now proceed to describe the construction thereof in detail with the aid of the accompanying draw- 5 ing, in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a sectional view of the closure mounted upon the outlet of a conventional collapsible tube.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the closure.
30 Figure 3 is a plan View of the stopper.
Figure 4 is a detail showing a modification wherein the periphery of the annular member is grooved to receive the inturned peripheral margin of the resilient plate.
35 Referring to the drawing, and particularly to Figures 1, 2 and 3 thereof, I designates an annular member, which, in its preferred form, has an inwardly projecting flange 2 at its inner extremity. Through the flange 2 a threaded opening 3 is 40 formed to engage the externally threaded outlet 4 of a conventional tube 5. A plate 6 is provided with an annular flange around. its periphery which is secured in this instance within the outer extremity of the bore of the member 1.
45 The plate 6 has a flat circular portion 8 adjacent the annular member i which extends at right angles to the latter for a short distance, and the central portion 9 of the plate is normally sprung so that the upper face thereof is concave.
50 This central plate portion is quite thin so that positive pressure exerted against it from within causes it to bell outwards as indicated at 9a in Figure 1. This central plate portion is however so made that as soon as the pressure exerted against 55 it from within ceases it immediately springs back to its initial position.
Mounted within the annular flange 1 is an annular guide H to which a stopper i2 is secured by means of arms IS. The stopper is spaced from the tube outlet 4 and is so positioned relative to the plate aperture l that it normally extends into the latter and closes it. But as soon as pressure is exerted against the underside of the central plate portion 9 by material being squeezed from the tube 5 this plate portion assumes its outward position 9a, and then the material is free to pass between the stopper and the plate and through the aperture I0 in the latter. When the squeezing of the tube ceases the central plate por- 10 tion 9 springs back to its initial position and the aperture is again closed by the stopper l2.
As the stopper is spaced from the tube outlet 4 the space within the member I normally remains filled with material from the tube. But, as previously stated, the stopper normally makes a substantially air tight joint with the central plate portion 9 and therefore the material within the closure is effectually protected from the air.
Figure 4 is a detail showing another modiflcation. In this case the flange la, around the plate Ea is turned down exteriorly of the member Ia. Around the latter intermediately of its height an annular groove lb is formed into which theperipheral margin lb of the flange 1a is flexed to hold the plate 6a in position. The annular guide H- from which the arms l3 extend is firmly engaged within the bore of the member la.
While in the foregoing the preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and shown, it is understood that further modifications may be made thereto so long as these further modifications fall within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is:
A closure for collapsible tubes comprising a cylindrical member having a resilient centrally apertured plate extending across one extremity, said plate normally being centrally sprung so that its outer face is of substantially concave form, a stopper mounted within the member normally extending into and closing the plate aperture, a flange beneath the plate and stopper closing the opposite extremity of the member, said flange having a threaded opening therethrough engaging the threaded outlet of a collapsible tube which projects inwardly beyond the inner face of the flange so that the lower portion of a storage space within the member occurs beneath the top of the outlet, said cylindrical member, flange and resilient plate normally enclosing said storage space which receives a portion of the tube contents so that pressure exerted upon the tube after the storage space is full causes the member contents to force the resilient plate outwardly out of engagement with the stopper thereby permitting the passage of said contents through the plate aperture.

Officials review 137 shots case
James W. Wade III | 3/12/2014, 9:02 a.m.
This past Saturday, Cleveland and East Cleveland citizens came together to try to recreate the events that led 13 Cleveland Police officers firing 137 shots into the car driven by Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. Both were killed on that November 2012 night.
Over a year later, many in the community are still screaming for something to happen to these officers. No gun was found in the car or even on the chase route.
Meeting at the scene of the crime in the parking lot of Heritage Middle School in East Cleveland was the 1979 Chevrolet Malibu riddled with the 137 shots fired on the night of in the killing.
The chase started when police believed either Russell or Williams fired a shot while riding around downtown Cleveland near the Justice Center. During various press conferences and updates, it was reveled that close to 60 Cleveland police cars took part in the 30-minute pursuit at various times.
They kept the media far away but personnel from the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office, the county sheriff's department, the county medical examiner's office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation were measuring and taking notes on what possibly could have happen.
Joe Frolik, from Prosecutor Timothy McGinty's office, said they were trying not to do a re-enactment of the shooting, rather an examination of what happened.
"We are gathering information, running some tests," said Frolik.
Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Jeff Follmer spoke against the media circus and shared it was nothing more then a McGinty production. "They are doing this during the day. If this is any kind of re-enactment, there are no lights, no sirens. You can't come away with the officers' perceptions, and the threat they felt that night," said Follmer.
The 13 officers have not been charged. Last August, the city announced 75 Cleveland patrol officers were found in violation of departmental rules and regulations for their roles in the chase.
In June, one supervisor was fired, two were demoted and nine others suspended following disciplinary hearings about their involvement in the case. But McGrath said the numerous violations of department policies confirmed by the months-long review does not alter his opinion that officers are adequately trained, an assertion that drew criticism from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
Jackson shared what he called the unprecedented release of information from DeWine's office. It included thousands of pages of interviews with individual officers saying it should have been withheld until after the investigation was completed. Jackson said, before the DeWine's press conference, he received a call from DeWine expressing his feelings about what happened.
"If those two victims were dogs, there would have been more attention paid to them and they would have been given more consideration to due process," Jackson said.
Jackson said Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell were denied due process when they were killed in a hail of police bullets.
Jackson has not been silent about the shooting. From the mayor's dialogue with the media, it is clear he has concern for the two victims. Jackson said any failures during the chase resulted from police supervisors and rank-and-file officers who didn't follow department procedures. There was a failure. It was not systemic. It was a failure on the part of some supervisors and some patrol officers to do what they knew they should have done, and what they were trained to do, Jackson stated.

Can you believe that I do not have the Christmas tree up yet? Normally I insist on it going up right after Thanksgiving. But this year…I swear I blinked and it's December 19th, six days before Christmas. It's not all my fault though, it's been a really busy few weeks. I promise, the tree will be up tomorrow morning – Chef Hubby will do the honors of getting it from the attic. I'll have photographic evidence posted tomorrow evening after we trim it.
Anyone else slacking on Christmas tree duty? If so, please share…Misery loves company.

"Sleepy Hollow's" Depp Gets Star on Walk of Fame
Nov. 26, 1999
McFarlane Toys was in the house Nov. 16 when Johnny Depp was honored with the 2,149th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star unveiling took place at 7018 Hollywood Boulevard on the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel property. Johnny Grant, Honorary Mayor of Hollywood and Chairman of the Walk of Fame committee, presided over the event and Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, spoke on behalf of the organization. Also participating in the ceremony were "Sleepy Hollow" director Tim Burton and actor Martin Landau; both spoke of Depp's achievements as an actor, a friend and their newest film together, "Sleepy Hollow." McFarlane Toys' Ichabod Crane action figure is the first figure ever in the likeness of Johnny Depp.

For what it's worth:
1. Tufts
2. Bowdoin
3. Wesleyan
4. Middlebury
5. Trinity
6. Colby
7. Conn
8. Amherst
9. Williams
10. Bates
While I think the season previews are fair and mostly accurate, I have trouble seeing Middlebury coming in at 4 when for the past nearly 10 years there is only one (2007) where they didn't land on the top of the board come season's end. I realize they will have a young team and lost some experienced talent, but they didn't have Mike Stone a decade ago and they were still number one. The legacy of the sport at the school runs so deep and is so consistent even with a relatively younger coach in Campbell when you still have Erin Quinn at the school as Athletic Director. You really think they never have conversations? I take nothing away from Tufts, Bowdoin or Wes, but number one teams remain number one teams not because of one or two players, but because of a team mentality that runs deeper than individual talent. Yes, a big player can make big plays, but as some teams easily prove, you can't win consistently if you don't play as a complete team. Not saying they'll be number one, but they won't be number 4.
Fron what I understand.. official practices start Monday... I imagine we'll see final rosters about a week or two after that. Yes?

Need Someplace New, Different: Suggestions?
My birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and my wife and I are in search of some place new and we're not feeling very inspired. I was hoping some of you might make a few suggestions.
Our criteria: Cost isn't an issue, but we prefer places low on pretense, with great drinks/wine/beer, and of course, great food. Right now, we're cuisine doesn't matter much, although we've really been on an Asian food binge so we'd prefer not to go Asian. Preferably within 15 miles of Boston.
To give you a better idea of what we're looking for, here are some of our Favorites: East Coast Grill, Neptune Oyster, the Publick House (Brookline), the Garden at the Cellar, Perdix (gone, sadly), the Butcher Shop, Dali, Sapporo (Newton Centre).
I know this seems general, but maybe this is why we're having such a hard time.
Anything you folks could suggest?
The people from Arrows in Maine recently opened up Summer/Winter restaurant in the Marriott in Burlington. Nice room overooking a small greenhouse where they grow some of their herbs. Had a nice lunch there although the service was a little spotty.
How about EVOO? It is a couple of doors down from Dali and is one of my favorites.
EVOO Restaurant
350 Third Street, Cambridge, MA 02143
re: Sal Monella
I 3rd EVOO. Their menu is so varied and fun, but there are a handful of dishes that are always especially awesome, like the cornmeal fried oysters and the duck, duck, goose.
I'm anxious to try this place in Charlestown, next door has their own Hookah Bar. It's Tangierino, menu looks really exciting. I've heard great things and love that it's very different dining experience.
re: lexpatti
Good place; great vibe.
Isn't Ten Tables in the original Perdix space in JP? That would fit the bill. Have you been?
If you like the Butcher Shop, then Toro is a much better version of what TBS strives to be, in terms of style.
Evoo is a great rec too.
Lots of great recs here already. The substance-over-style flavor of your list of favorites made me think of these, which incidentally won't stretch your budget:
Drinks at Eastern Standard, dinner at Trattoria Toscana.
Drinks at No. 9 Park, dinner at Grotto.
Drinks at Green Street, dinner there, at Rendezvous, or Central Kitchen.
Drinks at B-Side, dinner at Oleana.
Drinks at The Alchemist, dinner at Ten Tables.
These combos represent one of my favorite kinds of leisurely dining: enjoy an extraordinary cocktail, then dine at a modest, unpretentious, exceptional-of-its-type little restaurant.
re: MC Slim JB
Ooh. Love the combos. I was already planning to go to Oleana for my birthday but I certainly will get a cocktail at B-side beforehand. Great idea.
re: MC Slim JB
I am also a fan of the drink at Green Street, eat at Central Kitchen plan. Having now gone to Rendezvous twice with mixed results, I would stick with CK. They have been so consistent thru the years. Love their steak frites.

Read Poems by
Denis Bruce
Beneath a bright,blue sky
Where green fields glow
Stands a skeletal tree
Raising its bare arms
Imploringly to the heavens
Like Death demanding life.
At its lifeless heart inlaid
A wooden crucifix
Whereon our suffering saviour
With arms outstretched
Gives up his life
To save our souls.
High atop the tree
Calmly stand two storks
In their sturdy,twig-built nest
Loftily serene
Disdainfully disregarding
Those below who strive to make them fly.
In that trinity
A sacramental moment
Eternally enshrined.
