Greedy Hamster Doesn't Want to ShareDevan McGuinness
A few days ago, I shared a post filled with happy animals who love each other despite their differences. We saw photos of dogs and cats getting along, bunnies and guinea pigs who appeared to be best friends and even a photo of a dog and a frog who hung out together. Turns out, hamsters are tolerant too, do some degree.
It's adorable to see different animals get along, especially when they're not ones that we would assume would get along. I would not assume that a little hamster and a cat could be in the same space together without the cat wanting to eat the hamster or the hamster trying to flee the scene.
In this cute video uploaded to YouTube from user ignoramusky, we see this adorable hamster who is friends with cat, but doesn't want to share his treat… at all.

Really easy and delicious - the kitchen smells great while cooking this.flag if inappropriate
These carrots are great! The bite of the cayenne is a nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the glaze.flag if inappropriate
These are the only cooked carrots my carrot-hating kids will eat. Just a hint of the Middle East and very slightly sweet. Yummy!flag if inappropriate
Good carrot recipe. I agree with a previous reveiwer's comment about adding more cayenne. Even using peeled, baby carrots, I spent 25 minutes slicing them lengthwise. It was well received but I think a bit labor intensive for such a simple side dish.flag if inappropriate
These disappeared quickly at a potluck gathering. I added an extra 1/8 teaspoon of red pepper because spicy is good. During the last step, watch carefully because the glaze burns easily.flag if inappropriate
Very easy with a nice zip! I recommend using a chopping tool. Doing this by hand took forever!flag if inappropriate
If you're looking for a side dish that's a bit sweet this one has nice flavor. Being simple to prepare is always a bonus.flag if inappropriate
Very good. Perhaps I had very tough, carrots, but I thought making the carrot sticks was quite a bit of work. It took me almost a half hour just to peel and cut up the carrots into the little sticks called for in the dish. (A food processor or mandoline that juliennes would be fine, though.) I'd either just slice into rounds or use baby carrots cut in two instead. Very flavorful with a nice kick. This also made far more than the servings suggested. It easily serves six and possibly eight if you are serving other sides.flag if inappropriate
this was one of the best side dishes I've ever served at Thanksgiving -- sweet but with enough of a kick to keep it from being cloying. Very easy to make as well. This will become a regular on holiday menusflag if inappropriate
This was fantastic... the cayenne adds such great flavor. I actually put in a little extra - gave it a great kick.flag if inappropriate

Bayshore man sentenced for 2012 hit and run death
HAUPPAUGE - A Bayshore man was sentenced in Suffolk County criminal court for driving drunk and leaving the scene of a fatal crash in December of 2012.
On December 22, 2012, Alejandro Padilla, 25, drove into the rear end of Zenaida Falcon's Hyundai, propelling the victim's vehicle across Carleton Avenue into a utility pole. Seriously injured, Ms. Falcon, 47, died the next day.
"Fortunately, an eye witness to the crash saw the defendant's license plate and reported it to police," District Attorney Thomas Spota said. "Officers were waiting for Padilla when he arrived home, and the lab analysis of his blood showed his blood-alcohol level two hours after the fatal crash was .09."
A judge sentenced Padilla to two to six years' incarceration in an upstate correctional facility prison for his conviction on each charge in the indictment: manslaughter in the second degree, two counts of vehicular manslaughter in the second degree, leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, and a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated.

Enjoying some time shopping with her mama, Kate Hudson was spotted browsing a furniture boutique with Goldie Hawn before meeting up with her long-time beau Kurt Russell for a leisurely lunch in Paris, France on January 28. The day before, the trio plus Kate's boyfriend and daddy-to-be Matt Bellamy dined out in London before heading to Paris on the tail end of Haute Couture Fashion Week. For her midday shopping adventure, Kate bundled up in a chunky sweater dress (check out Free People's Jiffy Bit Cardi in Oatmeal), black leggings (add extra warmth with Ella Moss' French terry Paz Legging in Black) and a fur lined leather jacket (try June's super cozy Asymmetric Lamb Jacket in Black). Kate perused the racks in buckled boots (check out Farylrobin's Lance Knee-High Boot in Black) and carried a black tote over her shoulder (Jalda's Fabric Masha in Black is great for keeping your essentials organized) as she snapped some pics on her phone while browsing the shop. What do you think of Kate's wintery casual look? You can barely tell, but she's got a little baby bump under there starting to make an appearance. Kate recently taped an appearance on the British talk show The Graham Norton Show where she shared all the deets on what she's expecting: It feels like a girl, but I dont know. Ryder thinks its a girl! Kate also jokingly addressed the rumors she and Matt secretly got engaged: "No... not that I know of. I don't like putting that sort of pressure on it, and I don't feel it necessary to get married. I am 31, I already have one child, and have had one divorce, so it is not necessarily the golden ticket -- I just want to be happy." It sounds like she and Matt have things all figured out congrats on their happy news!

Rocks and Shoals
Episode: DS9 527 - Rocks and Shoals
Season 6 Ep. 2
Air Date: 10/06/1997
Stardate: 51107.2
Traveling in a crippled Jem'Hadar warship, Sisko and his crew enter an uncharted nebula. They crash in the ocean of a desolate planet, and Dax is seriously wounded. Bashir stabilizes Dax's condition, after which the group takes shelter in a cave. Later, while Garak and Nog are searching for food and water, they are captured by Jem'Hadar soldiers who also crashed on the barren world.
Garak and Nog are taken to Keevan, the badly wounded Vorta leader of the stranded Jem'Hadar. When Garak reveals there is a doctor in their group, Keevan orders his soldiers, led by Remata'Klan, to locate the Starfleet unit without engaging them in battle. Meanwhile, Sisko and the crew try to locate their missing comrades. They are spotted by the Jem'Hadar who, ignoring Keevan's instructions, open fire.
Remata'Klan frantically orders his soldiers to lower their weapons. The Jem'Hadar retreat, and Keevan gives Remata'Klan a new mission. Soon afterward, he arrives at the Starfleet camp and reveals to Sisko that Garak and Nog are being held as prisoners. Keevan wants to trade them for Sisko and Bashir, and after Remata'Klan gives his word that no one will be harmed, Sisko agrees.
Sisko and Bashir soon learn that they were summoned to save Keevan's life. Once the Vorta's condition improves, he reveals that his Jem'Hadar group has been marooned. Unfortunately, he has only one vial of ketracel-white, the drug used to control the Jem'Hadar, left to give them. The soldiers are already suffering from withdrawal, and once the drug is completely gone, they will go insane and kill everyone. To stop this, he will order his troops to attack the Starfleet base camp — but will provide Sisko with their plans. This will enable the Jem'Hadar to be ambushed and killed, Keevan to surrender and O'Brien to repair Keevan's communication system. Sisko is disgusted that Keevan will turn against his men to save himself, but sees no other choice.
At dawn, Remata'Klan and his men are trapped by the Starfleet crew, but Sisko offers to help the group escape. Remata'Klan refuses to surrender, explaining that as a Jem'Hadar he has no choice but to follow Keevan's command. Sadly, Sisko orders his crew to proceed, and the Jem'Hadar troops are massacred. The communication equipment is repaired, and Worf answers their call for help.

New truck already at the shop
Hello everybody I've read a lot on this forum and feel pretty confident in my new purchase of my 2001 7.3 and Ill try not to write a novel. This is my first diesel truck I purchased a week ago. It has 147k miles and is stock. Truck was bought and was a one owner out of Jacksonville fl. They drove it to greenville sc where I purchased the truck. They did and oil change and seemed a new ac compressor. Everything checked out ( I did the best pre purchase inspection I could with information compiled from the interweb) so I drove the truck home 350 miles no problem and the next day cranked her up idle for 2-3 minutes then off I go. Well so I thought truck had no power RPM's go up and truck very very slowly accelerates got it up to 40 mph in about 1 mile. Engine running smooth and no smoke.( truck never smoked before even when getting on it) pulled over checked under the hood for fluid levels and hoses and such with no findings so I scratched my head for a minute and proceeded to drive home same thing except this time when it got to around 30 mph she gave out. A slow loss of all power until completely stopped then died. Tried to restart and nothing. Turned over at regular speed just no start. Still smooth no jolting or rough running just a quick loss of all power. So called the tow truck and tried to trouble shoot on the side of the road. My dad has a 97 and he had a ac compressor completely lock up on him so I was able to get the belt off and then she cranked right up but was running rough. I let it run maybe 10 sec and shut
It off. Figured I'd get her home and with the ac off and the belt back on she'd run. No dice wouldn't start with belt on. So pop the belt off again and no start. So not having a diagnostic computer and just buying the truck I decided on taking to the shop. Long story short the dealership isn't paying for the fix. So I changed the fuel filter just cuz and was going to start replacing sensors but decided to get it to the shop for a diagnosis rather then replacing things that may not need replacing. So I'm thinking uvhc, cps,ips, or fuel pump because the fuel pump seems to be making a noise that I didn't recall before and the filter was dirtier than I would have thought. Oil levels are on point and hpop has oil. But I don't have a means of checking pressures. So how much should a shop charge just to tell me what's wrong. I'm new to this area and the dealership has a bad rap. I'm a paramedic and this shop does all are trucks maintenance and has a good rep. Just don't want to get taken to the cleaners when im mechanically inclined just don't have some of the fancy tools. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help y'all
I attached a pic of the bowl sorry didnt get one of the filter. Should it have this much sediment(****) in there.
welcome to the board, not sure on the sediment, but did you put a new filter in there/try to clean it when you had it opened?
any codes?
Thanks, yes I took the heater out and cleaned it out and replaced filter. I read that some people take the middle plastic piece out of the plastic stem to increase fuel flow. Would this be a mod that I would benefit from with the truck being all stock?
I don't have a means of seeing if it is throwing any codes. I'm going to call the shop today to see if they have got a chance to look at it.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post
hutch mod...I think an AE is in order here, bud. For what the stealerships' gonna hit you for, you might as well purchase the scanner.
Do I really need an AE? I was looking into the edge insight. I know some can pull codes and delete them but not actually be used as a diagnostic tool. I know real gauges are the best way to monitor but I like the look and being able to hook a camera up to insight. I just don't want to get a good scanner and not being able to use it the way it should be.
It was a bad fuel pump. New one installed and back on the road. Started getting my parts together for hutch and harpoon.

Police responded to the rollover crash in the 800 block of Pennoyer Avenue at about 12:10 p.m. Monday.
An 31-year-old Grand Rapids woman driving a Range Rover came around the corner off southbound Beacon Boulevard, struck and broke a utility pole and flipped onto its side.
Odessia Bennis said she heard a loud bang, looked outside and saw two passers by helping the woman out of the car that crashed in front of Bennis' house.
Police administered a series of driving under the influence tests on the woman, and then took her away in the back of the police car.
She was arrested for driving while impaired (alcohol), said Sgt. Josh Tomes of the Grand Haven Department of Public Safety.
While police were handling the first crash, they heard a bang, walked up to the corner and noted a multi-car rear-ender crash on southbound Beacon Boulevard just south of Pennoyer.
Police reported one person suffered minor neck pain in that crash.

This is the first of a two-part series about NBC News anchor Brian Williams.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Say this about Brian Williams, the anchor of NBC's No. 1-rated "Nightly News" program. He is a good winner.
Williams has only warm words for his competition, ABC's DIS, +0.32% Diane Sawyer and CBS's CBS, +2.10% Katie Couric.
Williams remembers Couric -- fondly. Before she took the reins of CBS's "Evening News" show, Couric was a linchpin in NBC's "Today," the top-rated morning news program. The hottest TV news speculation for months has centered on Couric possibly returning to NBC when her CBS contract runs out next year.
Media Matters: Brian Williams on Katrina, Couric
NBC News anchor Brian Williams talks with MarketWatch's Jon Friedman about the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Presidents Obama's challenges and Katie Couric's future.
"I read something about it," Williams, 51, said, smiling. "She certainly knows her way around this building. And most of us who are here were here when she was here, and I see her all the time. So, I will let all those forces play out as they might.
"The last thing I'm going to do is get involved in inter-network politics," Williams said playfully Monday when we talked in his TV studio for an episode of "Media Matters with Jon Friedman."
Of course, that's the political side of Brian Williams. He is aware of the gravity of his words and he chooses them carefully. At the same time, he comes across as an exceptionally good-natured person. So, I felt obligated to follow up by asking Williams if he might personally recruit Couric to return to NBC.
To his credit, he didn't wave off the question or angrily dismiss it or even fire off an evasive, glib answer. He said cheerfully:
"Well, I can't do that as a freelance, but if requested..." He paused and added: "She doesn't need me to call her and tell her that she's always welcome over here. There's a very small community of people in this line of work and the relationship between viewers and Katie is well established."
My interpretation is that Williams is saying between the lines: Come home, Katie!
The competition
"Do you know what's unbelievable?" Williams asked rhetorically, "I will be in this job six years in December, and when I started, my competition was Dan Rather and Peter Jennings. All those articles were about 'the new kid.'"
The description seemed incongruous even then, as Williams had ample seasoning as the network's White House correspondent. The challenge of succeeding someone as fabled as Tom Brokaw gave Williams perspective and he recognized the sheer weight of presiding over a nightly news show.
"I'm going to sound like the 'network evening news chamber of commerce,'" he told me. "I firmly believe American network evening news viewers have three great choices every night. They have three known commodities.
"Again, this is a small town when you come down to it and an even smaller industry. All three network evening newscasts -- I know because many nights I watch my competition on TiVo, and we always look at what they're doing because we spend everyday chasing the same stuff.

Issue #4 Mutineer Interview: Zane Lamprey Now Available Free Online
The Zane Lamprey Mutineer Interview from Issue #4 is now available to read, joining Gary Vaynerchuk's Issue #3 Mutineer Interview which was posted online a couple weeks back.
Lamprey's "Three Sheets" is quite possibly the best beverage show ever produced. The show costars Lamprey's Gremlin-friend Pleepleus, who has his own cult following for his magical abilities, including the ability to communicate with cats and the ability to help women over the age of 90 overcome fertility problems.
Did I mention Lamprey was on the cover of the first nationally distributed issue of Mutineer Magazine back in April 2009? Yes sir, he is most certainly the real deal.
Check out the Zane Lamprey interview here.
Godspeed Pleepleus.

Gasparilla Parade's title sponsor, The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, selected the grand marshal this year, United States Air Force Master Sergeant Christian MacKenzie. He is a Tampa veteran with MacDill Air Force Base's U.S. Special Operations Command's Care Coalition. He helps with wounded, ill, and injured veterans.
While serving in Iraq in 2004, a grenade hit his helicopter. He sustained severe injuries that have prevented him from coming to Gasparilla.
"It actually blew up in my face, broke my head in three places, blind in left eye, flash burns, shrapnel injuries," said Master Sgt. Christian MacKenzie. "For my organization to be selected, it was an honor, but for me to be selected by my peers to represent the entire thing just blew me away. They could have picked any Hollywood celebrity or politician, so I am very honored to do this."
It is also the master sergeant's first time at Gasparilla. He has been stationed in Tampa the last ten years, but he was unable to attend the event after his injuries.
"I would have always been more on guard, worrying about crowds that I cannot see out of my eye, instead of enjoying myself," explained Master Sgt. MacKenzie. "I couldn't imagine a better way to enjoy the parade than be in it!"
Some youngsters had their first Gasparilla experience as well. "I love it," said 3-year-old Morgan.
Others refuse to miss it every year.
"I have never missed a Gasparilla parade my entire life and I am 70 years old!" shouted Gayle Zeno.
"I've been coming every year since I was born. That is 24 years!" shouted another paradegoer.
The parade route was 3.8 miles down Bayshore Blvd., starting at Bay to Bay Blvd., then east on Brorein Street, then north on Ashley Drive, and it ended at Cass Street and Ashley Drive.

SL Handbook Your guide to getting involved at RVC! What are you waiting for?
1: Operation Classroom
Student Government officers and representatives schedule short informational presentations in classrooms on campus. The purpose of these presentations is to let the student body know of the clubs and organizations that are available for them to join, specifically SGA. The presentations will touch on our current programs, open positions, and meeting times.
2: Peer Mentoring
Student Government officers and representatives meet with students at risk of dropping out. This is an alternative to the available counseling services in the Student Center. The goals of this program are to relate to students who SGA members may not have otherwise met, guide them through difficult decisions and situations in their lives, and, in general, become more involved on campus. The main objective is to help at-risk students complete their degree programs.
3: Intramural Sports
Student Government has been working with faculty and students to create an intramural sports program on campus. This program will encourage wellness, community and campus involvement, and it will give athletes who cannot necessarily compete at a collegiate level the opportunity to continue playing the sports they love.
4: Stenstrom Shuttle Service
The most ambitious goal from the group this year is to set the foundation for a Stenstrom shuttle service, which would involve bus routes from main campus to Stenstrom with no stops along the way. This will be beneficial to all students who either cannot drive or do not want to drive back and forth between Stenstrom and main campus. It is a project that cannot realistically be completed in one school year, but the 2010-2011 Student Government Association is dedicated to setting the groundwork for future clubs to build upon.
5: More Fellowship
Student Government is made up of serious students focused on developing leadership skills while positively impacting Rock Valley College and the community. But we know how to have fun, too! Joining any club on campus is a great way to build friendships with the people who you may not have otherwise met. The members of SGA take part in a fellowship event at least once a month. We have had bonfires, movie nights, and gone to events such as Ice Hogs games at the Metro Centre.

Jon Silkin
Jon Silkin was one of the youngest Gregory Fellows in Poetry, taking up the post in 1958, aged 28. He studied for a degree in English Literature during his time in Leeds; and in 1960 relaunched his renowned little magazine Stand from the School of English.
Jon Silkin was born in London on 2 December 1930. He was educated at Wycliffe College before being evacuated to Kent and then to Wales during the Second World War. He returned to London at the end of the war and attended Dulwich College, from which he was eventually expelled for truancy. Aged 17, he worked as a filing clerk and then a journalist; at 18 was called up for National Service, during which time he served in the Education Corps as a Sergeant Instructor. In 1950, shortly after being discharged, he published his first short collection of poems, The Portrait.
On leaving the Army, Silkin worked for several years as a manual labourer/unskilled worker, his jobs including a period working as a gravedigger. In 1952 he was fired from one of these jobs for attempting to form a Union; the 5 pounds redundancy money he received enable him to found and produce the first issues of the little magazine, Stand. Early contributors included poets who held or would go on to hold the Gregory Fellowship, including James Kirkup, Thomas Blackburn and William Price Turner; Turner had also started his own little magazine, The Poet, in 1952. Silkin was forced to cease production of Stand in 1957 due to lack of funds.
Silkin was extremely active during his time at Leeds. He held the Gregory Fellowship in Poetry from 1958 to 1960, but continued to live in the city until around 1965. He appreciated the time that the Fellowship gave him to write; his third collection, The Re-Ordering of the Stones (1961), includes many poems written in Leeds and was dedicated to Peter (ie E.C.) Gregory. When the future of the Fellowships came under scrutiny in the 1970s, Silkin reflected on the "immensely stimulating" contact he had at Leeds with other poets and students, referring to the Fellowship itself as a, "once in a lifetime breathing space which can be crucial to the creative activity of any poet." (1)
Poetry and Audience as both a contributor and an editorial advisor. Tony Harrison was sub-editor, and then editor of the magazine during this period. Silkin had first been published in the magazine in 1956; his contributions during his time at Leeds included both poems, and a defence of the journal's publication of James Kirkup's poem 'Gay Boys' against accusations of encouraging homosexuality and vice. (2)
In 1959, Silkin collaborated with Maurice de Sausmarez (then Head of the Department of Fine Art at the University) in mounting an exhibition of manuscripts and artworks of the Anglo-Jewish poet and artist Isaac Rosenberg. His interest in Rosenberg was shared with Geoffrey Hill. Throughout his time at Leeds, Silkin offered seminars in creative writing and courses on modern poetry through the University's Extra-Mural Department. He was the first Gregory Fellow in Poetry not to have had a university education, but appears to have enjoyed the experience of working in an academic environment. In 1959, he enrolled as a Special Studies student at the University to study for a degree in English Literature; Ken Smith was a fellow student. He graduated in 1962, having written a critical essay on his own poetry during his final examinations. It was also during his studies that Silkin started work on the critical study of the poets of the First World War published in 1972 as Out of Battle.
Silkin was also involved in establishing the Northern House publishing venture from the Department of English with lecturer Andrew Gurr. Silkin first approached Gurr regarding the possibility of printing his Flower Poems, which were inspired by plants growing in the garden of his flat at 144 Otley Road; the idea quickly expanded to producing a series of poetry pamphlets. (3) Ken Smith, alongside Gurr and Silkin, became a director of Northern House. The first three pamphlets, Silkin's Flower Poems, Smith's Eleven Poems and Geoffrey Hill's Preghiere, were published in 1964.
Prompted by the offer of funding for Stand from the Northern Arts Association, Silkin left Leeds for Newcastle in 1965. His collection Nature With Man, comprising poems written during his time in Leeds, was published in the same year and won the Faber Memorial Prize. Also in 1965, Silkin took up the first of many visiting lectureships and residencies in the United States, at Denison University, Ohio. In 1968, he returned to the United States to take up a year-long residency at the Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa. Tony Harrison, himself living in Newcastle by this time, took over the editorship of Stand during Silkin's absence.
Silkin continued to write, teach and travel into the 1990s. Between 1991 and 1994, he was mostly based in Japan, where he taught English and American literature at the University of Tsukuba. A further critical work, The Life of Metrical and Free Verse in the Twentieth Century, was published in 1997. Silkin's ties with the University of Leeds were firmly re-established in 1994, when he became a Senior Fellow in Poetry in the School of English; the following year, the Stand archives became part of the Brotherton Collection.
Jon Silkin died on 25 November 1997. At the time of his death, Silkin was compiling a further collection of his poetry for publication; Making a Republic, edited by Jon Glover, was published posthumously in 2002.

Relief agency sending supplies, staff to Iowa from Los Angeles; more
shipments from Chicago planned
LOS ANGELES, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- As the flooding in the Midwest continues to spread, Christian relief agency World Vision is dispatching an initial truckload of emergency supplies to Iowa and sending a staff team to assess the needs of affected families.
"World Vision will be providing basic items like toothbrushes, shampoo and toys for comfort to children and families who have been driven from their homes by the floodwaters," said Phyllis Freeman, who is a domestic disaster response specialist with World Vision and leading the agency's team on its way to the flood zone.
"In addition, as clean-up activities are beginning, things like face masks and gloves will help protect people from dangerous chemicals and mold that may be present," explained Freeman, who played a key role in World Vision's Hurricane Katrina response.
The agency, which serves children and families in need both in the U.S. and in some 100 countries worldwide, is sending an initial shipment of face mask filters, vinyl gloves, personal hygiene items and children's toys from its Storehouse in Los Angeles tomorrow. The supplies, donated by World Vision corporate partners, including Cardinal Health, will be distributed through partner organizations to families in need in several Iowa communities.
"Logistics and access are key challenges right now, with so many smaller communities affected across a large and growing flooded area," said John Pettit, director of World Vision's domestic disaster response.
World Vision is especially concerned about the needs of children and vulnerable, low-income populations who might be at risk of falling through the cracks of standard help that's available, Pettit added.
"We know these communities are hurting, and that recovery will take
time. The working poor, migrant farm workers, families

A male suspect faces two misdemeanors in connection with walking into a South Garden Street resident's home without being invited Saturday night.
The Norwalk Police Department was notified at 10:35 p.m. Officers said they found the suspect, Philip C. Lorcher, 45, of Norwalk, in front of the Century 21 building on East Main Street.
Lorcher was charged with criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct by intoxication and released later to his mother. Police said the suspect wasn't charged with "a more serious offense" at the request of the victim.
This is the fourth time in recent months that Norwalk police have handled a case in which a stranger — usually intoxicated — has been caught inside someone's home.

There have been noticeable increases in the number of suspicious e-mails claiming that the e-mail recipient has won a Toyota lottery or other promotion. Sometimes the e-mail claims that the recipient has won a new Toyota Prius. In order to claim the prize, the e-mail asks that personal information (i.e., Full Name, Address, Nationality, Age, Gender, Occupation, Phone/Fax, and/or Country of Residence) be sent to a Hotmail or Yahoo e-mail address.
This type of e-mail solicitation is known commonly as a "phishing" scam, with the primary objective being to obtain one's personal information. This information can then be utilized to steal a person's identity. For example, a "Toyota Lottery" phishing scam is often sent from Chinese (.cn), German (.de) or British (.co.uk) addresses but can originate from anywhere and look very official even to the most savvy of Internet users. Lexus will never ask you to send passwords, login names, Social Security numbers or other personal information through e-mail. If you receive an e-mail from Lexus asking you to update your credit card information, do not respond: this phishing scam. Recipients of suspicious e-mail like this should delete the message from their in-box and, if possible, update their e-mail filter settings to block e-mails from the e-mail address being used. The Federal Trade Commission and the Antiphishing Workgroup are also good sources of information about these types of security threats and how they may be reported to the authorities.

While porn helps in providing pleasure to numerous people out there, there are many aspects to the industry that are not so pleasurable at all. Ranging from harsh sadomasochistic practices to controlling the actors entirely, the world inside the porn industry can sometimes be very, very dark. Here are five documentaries that explore the dark side of the porn industry.
1. "After Porn Ends"
Examining the personal lives and careers of the biggest stars of the porn industry, including Asia Carrera and Mary Carey, the film gives out the message that a career in porn is only a small stint in fame, sex and money. However, once the careers of the stars are over, it's hard for them to find other forms of employment, while the biggest challenge, according to the documentary, is for the stars to leave behind the heavy baggage of their past.
2. "The Dark Side of Porn"
Produced for Channel 4 in the UK as part of a series, "The Dark Side of Porn" documents stories of different porn actors and the problems they've had to face, such as contracting HIV, connections with the mafia, and deaths of certain stars.
3. "Aroused"
Producer Deborah Anderson produced this documentary after being inspired to explore the motivations that lead young women to take up a career in porn. It explores the personalities of the stars, and attempts to restore the humanity of individuals who are too often dehumanized because of their professions.
4. "Inside Deep Throat"
"Inside Deep Throat" is a documentary about the 1972 porn film "Deep Throat" and the effects that it had on American society. Instead of focusing on the lives of the stars themselves, it provides a peek into a different aspect of the industry, which is that of distribution and explains how crude the system itself was.
5. "The Girl Next Door"
The story of adult movie star Stacy Valentine, it portrays the rise of a woman who originally had low esteem and a very dominating husband. It navigates through both her personal and professional lives, and documents that how despite living a life that many might envy, she still had her share of disappointments, emotional traumas, and difficulty in maintaining relationships with others.

Finding F When Given P: F/P
If an amount of P dollars is invested at a point in time and i% is the interest rate per period, the amount will grow to a fuure amount of P+Pi=P(1+ i) by the end of one period; by the end of the second period, the amount will grow to P(1+ i)(1+ i)=P(1+ i)^2; at the end of N periods the amount will grow to F=P(1+ i)^N. The quanity (1+ i)^N is called the single payment compound amount factor.
The F/P factor converts a single cashflow or an equivalent cash flow in a year after it. Another way to think of it is, a F/P factor moves a cash flow forward in time.

Moss Graffiti
This simple yet effective concoction is an old favourite of gardeners trying to encourage moss growth and provides an excellent alternative to spray paint.
Click on images for larger version
Please note that these images are artists impressions whilst I am perfecting the formula.
(serves to create several small pieces or 1 large piece of graffiti)
1 can of beer
To begin the recipe, first of all
gather together several clumps of moss (moss can usually be found in
moist, shady places) and crumble them into a blender. Then add the beer
and sugar and blend just long enough to create a smooth, creamy consistency.
Now pour the mixture into a plastic container.

Welcome back Cynthiana Art Walk!
We are highly anticipating your second summer return and we know that this year you'll be bigger than last!
But, now, don't get us wrong... there's some things we hope don't change from your first visit in Harrison County.
Obviously, we want you to bring back the art! It wouldn't be an Art Walk without the wide array of various artists' work on display in our downtown shops and businesses.
Presents always come in unexpected packages. Each one is always filled with something surprising and indescribable.
Cynthiana was my "present" this summer.
In these few short months here, I have truly had some unforgettable experiences that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
My second day on the job, I fainted. Talk about mortifying. Residents are still asking me if I need some water or to sit down for a bit when I introduce myself.
Last month my friend Tara invited me over to her house to be ruthless.
She was thinking about selling her house and wanted my advice on staging it for sale.
I'm not a decorator or a staging expert, but I watch them on TV. Plus, I love to be ruthless.
As we went through her house, room by room, I'd say, "This needs to go," "Get rid of that," "Move this here and that over there."
It was loads of fun — for me. I have no trouble messing with other people's stuff.
To the editor:
As I sit here on this Fourth of July weekend at River Road Park watching T-ball, I can't keep from thinking this is the place where it all started. I'm talking about the players, our 2010 State Baseball Champions, our own Harrison County Thorobreds. I also reflect back to the time when the team was just three outs away from losing the region. There would have been no need for this article.
I don't usually enjoy forwarded e-mails (unless they're the really funny ones), but my mother recently sent me one with the title "well worth it."
Intrigued, I opened it.
A YouTube video narrated by a Benedictine monk named Brother David Steindl-Rast, the message suggested that each day is something special.
"You think this is just another day in your life?" the monk said. "It's not just another day. It's one day that is given to you. Today. It's a gift."
The Cynthiana Art Walk is itself, a piece of art. It began with an idea, infused with passion and many hard-working people. It happened because people believed it could and in turn, those people convinced business owners, musicians, corporations, local leaders, artists and visitors. Cynthiana residents are fortunate to have a downtown filled with law offices, dental practices, restaurants, retail shops, museum, theatre and gym. Sure, we need more, but we must remember to support what we have.
To the Harrison County High School Thorobreds... now known as the 2010 State Baseball Champions:
Wow! State champs!
Congratulations on a job and season well done! All your hard work paid off, as you ended the season on a definite high note - claiming the title of Kentucky's best!
In December 2009, "Cynthiana," my pictorial history of the Queen City, was released by Arcadia Publishing. I'm thrilled to say it has been very well received and that I've had an incredible time reconnecting with family and friends who helped bring the book to life.
