Laptop is a personal computer struggling with an addiction to malware and viruses. Her loved ones are desperate for help, and have reached out to the Intervention team. Can an intervention set Laptop down the right path, or will she shut down for good? Watch and find out.
A lighthearted approach to a very serious subject. I found it clever & comical, too—and yet in real life, I also know people who refuse to take security seriously (don't want to be bothered, it's too much to learn, etc). I don't particularly enjoy the lecture "this is not a toaster but think of it as a sexual-like device" because it carries the power to infect quickly & to spread bad things rapidly—and we can't go by appearances or promises, that's for sure!

Very good piece of Cr3ative effort. Drives home the point effortlessly drawing parallels to real life scenario, that is threatening millions of other addicts. Am happy Kenny is a happy man now. More interventionists like William and other support systems are the need of the hour. More Detox centers for Malware addicted laptops will help millions enjoy many many years of wedded bliss ;-)and enjoying top class health!
Nice one….I loved this.

Liked it too but agree with Matt in that it should have been shorter. I hate to agree with the 'short attention span' so prevalent today but it's true. But at the same time I appreciate that you went all out to really portray the whole parody completely. Maybe another director's cut. But I think it works in getting the point across and as a customer if I can relate to my Laptop having issues then it would make me rethink about getting protection through your services. So, did it work? I think it does. Good Job guys.

Kind of cute, but way too dragged out. Should have been one to two minutes.
Also, if she's a female, why is her voice so deep?
on October 14th, 2009 - 7:20 pm
Yep… funny… but imo this video, as much as it is funny it also hides an ugly truth… the truth is that these days most people became surpassed by technology and their way of understanding it got poorer…
For this, I think the blame lies with our educational system, worlds economy and our ignorance towards technology.
So people build this great tool that helps them in many jobs called Computer… but imo if you don't know how to use a tool you may hurt yourself… sometimes literally.
So in order to win this war with the technology I think we must start with the education system… technology lessons/classes must be made mandatory in the educational system in ones country/state.
I appreciate very much what Comodo is trying to do on this site… making people aware… explaining as simple as possible the way to secure our technology so that it will work for us and not against us.
Best regards !

Growing the family
By Tom Kaiser
September 27, 2013
Filed under Features, Top Stories
Premier Pontoon growing by leaps and bounds
A half hour north of the Twin Cities, family-run Premier Pontoon has been riding the crest of the segment's incredible recent growth, while managing the challenges of expanding its dealer footprint, staying independent, finding workers in a tight labor market and revitalizing its Weeres and Palm Beach brands, which the company acquired in 2011.
We sat down with Connie Weinman, Premier's sales and marketing coordinator, during the company's dealer meeting in early August, its largest dealer meeting in the company's 21-year history, which attracted 350 dealers to its Minnesota facilities.
While Premier's success is largely the result of high-quality, innovative products like the luxuriant, 26- and 29-foot Grand Entertainers or the stunning, two-level Boundary Sky Dek, the company has also benefitted from being at the right place during the pontoon market's incredible recent growth.
According to Peter Houseworth of Info-Link Technologies, pontoons have gone from 13 percent of total powerboat sales in 2003 (excluding PWC, canoes and kayaks) to one in every four boats sold — a full 26 percent through June of 2013. As Houseworth added, the pontoon gains began in 2003, but really took off during and after 2008.
While Premier's expansion has been widespread, Weinman singled out a handful of areas the company has been focusing: Quebec, Alberta and Newfoundland in Canada, the Northeast and southern United States — Florida, in particular — and its home market of Minneapolis-St. Paul, which she said remains the largest market in the country for pontoon sales.
"We're doing everything on the production side to keep up with demand from the dealerships," she said. "We've added about 30 new dealers this year to our dealer network. It's pretty exciting, a lot of growth in the last year."
On-the-water living rooms
The three-brand company feels fortunate to be in its position, but credits much of its success to believing in pontoons throughout its history and innovating with its product line.
"We think we figured it out before everyone else did, and we knew that pontoons were the way to go," Weinman said. "Now the market is finally coming around. It has to do with performance. We're sitting on a boat like this [Grand Entertainer] with twin 300 Yamahas and you have the performance in a 10-wide capacity and 15 of your friends sitting here — it's a living room on the water."
Competition has been particularly stiff in the 20- to 22-foot pontoon market, but Premier plans to maintain its upper-level market position and focusing on individual customers with custom floor plans and further expanding its facilities in Minnesota to more efficiently manage production. Its market share gains are welcome news, but Premier plans to maintain its current course, rather than focus exclusively on gaining share.
Part of that requires convincing more of its existing dealers to stock its full product line, especially its largest, most expensive models. "If you carry it, it will sell," was a key message to the assembled dealers at the annual meeting.
"We're trying to educate our dealers more on knowing their markets and realizing that if they stock these boats the buyers are out there for this and they're coming around," Weinman said. "Some dealers figured it out really early, they thought, 'Oh we're going to stock our 20 or 22 and we'll sell up from that,' but if you bring this [Grand Entertainer] in your showroom, you're going to sell it."
While Premier continues growing, the family partners are simultaneously redesigning its Weeres and Palm Beach brands, which are both positioned below the main brand.
Growing pains have come in managing the logistics of getting enough boats to its farthest-flung dealers, transferring some tube and deck production to its New Ulm, Minn., facility and finding enough new employees in a state with an unemployment rate far below the national average.
Premier has been approached by larger brands interested in acquiring the family business, but Weinman said the ownership has no interest in such a sale. Rather, the company is focused on staying a family, and growing the ranks.
"They say it doesn't feel like a dealer meeting," she said, echoing a common motto within the company. "It feels like a family reunion."

TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Friday updates; weekend 99 closuresFebruary 28, 2014 at 6:57 am | In Alaskan Way Viaduct, West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 2 Comments
(More cams, and other info, on the WSB Traffic Cameras page)
Good morning! One note for the Friday morning commute – a crash investigation on 4th Avenue S. at Bennett in Georgetown (map); our friends at KING 5 say the closure is between Dawson and Lucile. Otherwise, one major weekend reminder:
HIGHWAY 99/ALASKAN WAY VIADUCT WEEKEND CLOSURES: Saturday and Sunday, 6 am-6 pm both days, the twice-yearly inspection will close Highway 99/Alaskan Way Viaduct between the West Seattle Bridge and Battery Street Tunnel. But if you drive 99 north of there, you need to know that both directions will be closed from the tunnel north to Valley Street from 10 pm tonight to 6 am Sunday for more work – and then from 6 am to 11 am Sunday, the closure will stretch further north for a 5K run. WSDOT explains it all here. For Metro reroutes resulting from the closure – go here.
9:06 AM: From the scanner – stalled/broken-down vehicle blocking the bus lane and part of another lane on northbound 99 at Lander.
10:26 AM: And now from the scanner, a stalled vehicle blocking at least one lane on the eastbound West Seattle Bridge near/at the Delridge onramp. Also, Debora mentions a stall on the northbound Viaduct's right lane in the stadiums, causing a backup; not sure if that's the same one we mentioned at 9:06 am, but you are now forewarned, if you're heading that way any time soon.
2 Comments
If that is the same stalled car at 10:26am near lander, then we certainly can tell that the WSDOT is doing their usual stellar job of timely disposal of those broken down cars on the highway:/

We are thrilled to announce that our 2009 Vidal Icewine was Canada's first-ever biodynamic Icewine and certainly a rarity worldwide.
Grapes hang into the winter in Ontario until they are frozen solid and there is a sustained temperature of minus 8 degrees Celsius or colder; to the point that each grape yields but a solitary drop of juice. But what a drop it is! Sweet but tart, intense, delicious — an incredible experience.
Between growing season's end and harvest, the grapes dehydrate and the juices are concentrated, developing the characteristic complexity found in Icewine. Throughout harvest and pressing, the grapes must remain frozen, usually necessitating that all key steps be carried out through the night. Read more about Icewine here.
Our Icewines are terrific with desserts or as dessert on their own. They also make the perfect complement for rich, savoury foods such as foie gras, aged blue cheeses and old cheddar. Icewine tip: Be sure your dessert is less sweet than the Icewine — fruit tartes, crème brûlée and cheesecake are all great choices.
In 2009, we sent our 2006 Cabernet Franc, a rare red Icewine, off on a trans-Atlantic trip. It returned from the International Wine Challenge in the UK with a gold medal wrapped around its neck.

Friday Night Fish Fry Paleo Style
One of the wonderful things about living here on Hilton Head Island is the access to wild caught seafood. The fishing member of the household at chez lcp spent Friday afternoon at the lagoon at Fish Haul Creek and came home with this 23″ spot tail bass (redfish).
I dusted the fillets with Tony C's and pan fried them in some ghee. I put some cubed butternut squash in the oven to roasted before the filleting process began. Nothing fancy – just tossed in melted ghee and coconut oil and sprinkled with pink Himalayan sea salt.
2 Responses to "Friday Night Fish Fry Paleo Style"
Hi! I did a yahoo search for Hilton Head, paleo and this blog post came up. I will be visiting HH in two weeks and am following the Aip diet. Can you recommend any restaurants in the area that might be safe for me to try out? Thanks!

|Accuracy of Surgeon-Performed Gallbladder Ultrasound in Identification of Acute Cholecystitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23273179 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|ABSTRACT Background: Acute cholecystitis is a common cause of emergency hospital admission. Ultrasonography (US) plays a significant role in the prompt diagnosis of this medical condition. However, it is difficult to find a radiologist in attendance for performing gallbladder US "beyond daytime and on weekends." With this standpoint, we decided to assess prospectively the accuracy of surgeon-performed gallbladder US for identifying acute cholecystitis in patients with cholelithiasis. Materials and Methods: Seventy-one consecutive patients awaiting elective or acute gallbladder surgery were included in this study. The US findings of surgeons and radiologists are compared with the histopathology reports. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV (positive predictive value), and NPV (negative predictive value) for acute cholecystitis by both surgeon-performed ultrasound (SPUS) and radiologist-performed ultrasound (RPUS) were evaluated. Results: Both radiologists and surgeons visualized the gallstones of each patient in all cases. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and NPV for acute cholecystitis by SPUS were 84.2%, 92.1%, 90%, and 94%, respectively, whereas the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and NPV for acute cholecystitis by RPUS were 92.3%, 85.9%, 87.1%, and 98%, respectively. Conclusions: Both SPUS and RPUS had a high accuracy rate in electing the acute cholecystitis. Our data support the fact that the use of US by general surgeons is effective in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.

With over 14 years of experience and their commitment to accuracy and security, Cassida is a reliable source to turn to for all your money handling needs.
Biggest waste of $200 ever. The machine will not put the proper number of coins into wrappers, although it claims to count, sort and wrap. It keeps filling the wrapper until it's overflowing and then the user must manually recount each wrapper. Not a very efficient use of time. If you just want to sort into bins, it might do the job for you, but if it can't accurately fill wrappers it's useless to me.
I bought this product, as per the manufacturer's website photos, that indicated it was powered by 12 Volts. Needed it to be 12 volts, to operate in a vehicle. The manufacturer revised the product to no longer use a 12 V adapter, and use 110 V directly. The manufacturer has since revised it's website photos. Returned item at no cost to customer. I purchased the Cassida 6600 instead.
We are a financial institution and upon reading reviews for currency counters we ordered this one. It is perfect and reasonably priced for what we need.
I bought this a month ago. I love it. Its very efficient. Thank you!
could not find anywhere at this price and it wasshipped fast

The youngest person to fly solo around the world is back at home in Aberdeen.
Nineteen-year-old Matthew Guthmiller broke the world record in about a month and a half when he landed in California last week. He flew to Aberdeen Friday.
"It's very good to have him back home," mother Shirley Guthmiller said.
He took off from the Aberdeen Regional Airport at the beginning of June. At that point family and friends watched him set out on a journey to circle the world. Now they want to know how it went.
"I want to hear all the stories that he has to tell. I'm sure there's a lot more than what he posted on his website," father Allen Guthmiller said.
Both Allen and Shirley Guthmiller say they're very proud of and happy for their son.
"Oh yeah, I am. He's doing what he's always wanted to do," Allen Guthmiller said.
Allen saw him Friday for the first time since he took off from Aberdeen. Shirley saw Matthew briefly when he made his world record landing in California.
"When he landed I said 'What would you like to eat?' He goes 'Mom, I want you to take me out for a hamburger, French fries and a chocolate malt,' so that's what we did," Shirley Guthmiller said.
The Guthmillers are thankful to have their son home safe. His mom says she did a lot of praying while he was gone.
"There were so many people that actually helped him. I really appreciate all the people that showed such kindness," Shirley Guthmiller said.
Guthmiller won't have too much time to enjoy home. He leaves Sunday for an event in Wisconsin, but he will be around Aberdeen throughout the summer.

Marvel Movie News: James Gunn Shot A Very Long Scene, Mark Waid On A Possible Hulk Film And More
Yes, it's time for another edition of Marvel movie roundup. When little news nuggets get dropped online, we round them up and put them in one convenient location for your reading pleasure. Today we have a few pieces of Guardians of the Galaxy from director James Gunn and former Doctor Who the upcoming intergalactic baddie known as Nebula, Karen Gillan. Also, Indestructible Hulk writer Mark Waid has weighed in on the possibility of a solo Hulk film in a recent interview. Read on for a few new developments in the world of Marvel.
Today James Gunn took to Twitter to reveal an interesting fact that holds a lot more information than you think at first glance. The Tweet, as you see below, states that 63,000 feet of film was used for one single scene that took 11.5 hours to film. That's not only an incredibly impressive amount of work for what is undoubtedly going to be a big scene in the film, it also seems to confirm that Gunn is using actual film instead of digital. A lot of film buffs expressed their joy at hearing Gunn was probably using film for the entirety of the project
Holy shit. We shot 63,000 feet of film Saturday. 11 1/2 hours of film. One scene. We're in for some long dailies tonight! #gotg
— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) September 30, 2013
Karen Gillan recently wrapped her portion of the film. The actress said that this past Thursday was her last day as the big blue baddie known as Nebula. Gunn retweeted Gillan's Tweet and added a few words of his own.
"@KarenGillan2: And that's a wrap on Nebula in Guardians of the galaxy!!" Clint Eastwood onscreen, Hello Kitty off: You will be missed!
— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) September 26, 2013
Gillan also pointed out a picture for an insert in this weekend's Guardian featuring her, Catherine Tate, and Billie Piper in a Doctor Who companions spread. You can see Gillan has a little more stubble on her head as she starts regrowing her ginger locks after revealing a completely bald head at this year's Comic-Con.
Finally, Mark Waid recently spoke with the folks at Newsarama about his current storyline in the pages of Indestructible Hulk. You can read the writer teasing some upcoming developments in the series by clicking here, but Waid was asked about a potential Hulk solo film toward the end of the interview. The legendary scribe praises Mark Ruffalo's portrayal and says the green behemoth we saw in The Avengers lends himself well to another film adventure:
Oh, please, yes! He's tailor made for a film adventure. Wasn't he the breakaway star of Avengers? He was in my theater, I'll tell you that! [Ruffalo is] spot-on. I love how he's more driven than tormented and the Bruce Banner/Tony Stark bromance is positively inspirational.
The comic book scribe says there are "many great runs" that a Hulk film could borrow story ideas from, but he points to the original Tales To Astonish as a good place to start. With Hulk having a TV show back in the day and three actors portraying Bruce Banner on the big screen, there are a lot of preconceptions about what could be done in a new solo movie. Waid channels his inner Hulk when he address those concerns with a short but simple "Hulk smash puny preconceptions."

At a mere 35, Marco Benevento may already qualify for veteran status in the hard-touring world of improvisational music. Since kicking down the door (and many conventions) of the jam-rock world with his organ vs. drums Benevento/Russo Duo, Marco has pushed the limits of what can be done on the periphery of jazz piano through a number of solo records, as member of Surprise Me Mr. Davis, Phish surrogate G.R.A.B., Led Zep cover act Bustle In Your Hedgerow, and a host of other collaborations. His latest, Tigerface, is a wide-grinning melange of post-rock and indie pop influences, featuring a star-studded cast of supporting musicians and his most stick-in-your-ear single yet, "Limbs of a Pine" with Rubblebucket's Kalmia Traver.

EPA Indoor Air Quality Tools For Schools
Abstract: Twenty percent of the U.S. population spends their days in elementary and secondary schools. And while most parents and teachers would probably accuse schools of being germ factories, that persistent cough and sniffles may not be the result of the latest bug going around. Studies show that half of our nation's 115,000 schools have problems linked to air quality. To help combat indoor air quality problems, EPA has created the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools Kit. Printed materials included in the kit are available for download from this web site in html or pdf format. Ordering information for the video portion of the kit is included.

Final Specification for High-Efficiency Lavatory (Bathroom Sink) Faucets
Abstract: EPA released a final specification on October 1, 2007, for high-efficiency bathroom sink faucets and faucet accessories (e.g., aerators). Manufacturers that produce faucets and aerators meeting WaterSense efficiency and performance criteria can apply to have their products certified and earn the WaterSense label. Before submitting products for testing, manufacturers must have a partnership agreement with EPA in place. In order to earn the WaterSense label, faucets must be independently tested and certified by a licensed certifying body to meet EPA's water-efficiency and performance criteria. To meet the criteria, faucets and accessories such as aerators cannot flow at a rate of more than 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), or less than 0.8 gpm. Working with stakeholders, EPA chose a rate that ensures both water savings and that the faucet flow rate will continue to meet the needs of the user. WaterSense labeled faucets not only save water, but the have the added benefit of saving energy used to treat, pump, and heat water. This web site includes information for manufacturers hoping to become WaterSense partners and the product and program specifications.

Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool (HealthySEAT)
Abstract: EPA has developed a unique software tool to help school districts evaluate and manage their school facilities for key environmental, safety and health issues. [Note: EPA is using the term "district" to broadly describe any institutional system for managing multiple schools, whether they are public, private, tribal, charter or some variation.] The Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool (HealthySEATv2) is designed to be customized and used by district-level staff to conduct completely voluntary self-assessments of their school (and other) facilities and to track and manage information on environmental conditions school by school. In addition to powerful software that can be used by districts to track any facility issues it chooses, EPA has also included critical elements of all of its regulatory and voluntary programs for schools, as well as web links to more detailed information. Districts and others can download HealthySEATv2 at no cost from the EPA web site. HealthySEATv2 is meant to be loaded and used on district computers; once it is downloaded from the EPA web site, HealthySEATv2 is yours to customize and use as you see fit. There are no reporting requirements and no obligation to use the checklist EPA has provided.

Healthy Schools: Lessons for a Clean Educational Environment [PDF]
Abstract: More than 53 million children and 6 million adults in the United States spend their days in our elementary and secondary schools. Reducing environmental risks inside these buildings is critical to maintaining the public health. Almost all of New England's children will spend a large portion of their childhood in school. To help our children stay healthy, we must reduce their exposure to environmental hazards in school environments. When students and their teachers are healthy and comfortable, children learn and produce more in the classroom, which in turn improves performance and achievement later in life. This brochure can help school employees and parents recognize potential environmental health issues at schools, both indoors and outdoors. It includes basic information about a broad range of topics, and links to web sites that offer more information and guidance on how to have a healthier school environment and comply with relevant laws. EPA's Healthy School Environments web site provides access to programs that help prevent and resolve environmental issues in schools.

NEW YORK (AP) - Online retailers are hoping they've got a deal for you on "Cyber Monday." But their expectations have also been lowered on what's considered the unofficial kickoff to the online retail season.
Monday marks the online retail industry's ceremonial kickoff for the holiday shopping season. The National Retail Federation says more than 80 percent of retailers will have special promotions online today, up from last year.
As for the Thanksgiving weekend sales, they're looking like they
only met the low end of expectations, at best.
Industry analyst Marshal Cohen says the message from consumers
is they want even better deals and they're willing to wait for them.

There has been an incredible amount of buzz over Samsung's latest phone the Galaxy s 4.
So I decided to see if this phone lives up to the hype.
I just wanted to test what we see in the commercials and see if its as smooth as it looks.
My bottom line here is that this is a great phone.
Signal quality and camera resolution are good and that's most people's main concern.
Throw in a great set of bells and whistles for the tech geeks and you have *my* next phone!
Verizon offers a great deal on this one.... $199 with a two-year agreement.

Luther M. Winsor: "My Assignment Here in Persia"
Luther Merkins Winsor (1884-1968) was born in Southern Utah and spent most of his career working on development the water resources of the state. When he left Utah, though, he really left town – his professional life took him to Chile in the 1920s, and to Iran in the 1940s.
Early in his five-year service in Iran, Time Magazine featured Bro. Winsor in an article about U.S. advisers to the Shah of Iran:
… Thoroughly embroiled in Persia's entangled politics and economy are seven U.S. advisers to Ali Soheily. They are there because: 1) the better Persia is run, the better the Russian supply route will work; 2) the Allies are anxious to offset Germany's influence in Persia, establish a firm barrier between the Nazis and the rest of the East.
Last week the seven were deep in trouble. Lent unofficially by the U.S.,they were paid by Persia. But they had no powers; they could only advise. The seven: …
– Bearded, aging professor Luther M. Winsor, the agricultural adviser, travels the length & breadth of arid Persia, arguing, pleading and explaining to Persian landowners the need for irrigation. (Until Hulaku Khan's invaders destroyed it almost 700 years ago, Persia had an excellent irrigation system of underground passages and canals.)…
The difficulties all stem from an economic system the advisers are not empowered to change. At best, they can only do a patchwork job on the facade of Persia. If they can make the patches stick long enough to get Persia's important job of war supply done, they will have earned their keep and the thanks of the Allies.
"It gives one a thrill," Winsor wrote, "to be working over again the ground that was trod by the ancient prophets and to put water back into the ditches that have been dry so many long centuries."
His service in Iran began with perhaps a little too much thrill, though, and he sent an account of his experiences to Harold B. Lee, with whom he had worked on developing the Church's welfare plan:
Sheraz, Iran, Jan. 26, 1942
My Dear Brother Lee:
While I have a short breathing spell I shall take the opportunity of writing to let you and our former fellow associates, relatives and friends know how I am doing and to tell you about an experience I have just had. Will you please pass it along to the others since it is very difficult for me to write so many individual letters.
I am on my first long field trip through Southern Persia, and have just had an adventure that, but for the providence of the Lord and the persistent vigilance of my two faithful and loyal servants, would have cost me my life.
We were traveling south from Ispahan and were just entering a long winding valley bounded on both sides by high rugged, barren mountains similar to those through which the Virgin River flows just northeast of Beaver Dam below St. George, when we were held up by 20 brigands in the real, old fashioned legendary manner of a hundred years ago as described by the author of Haji Baba of Ispahan. The location is about 40 kilometers north of the ancient capital of Medea, that flourished during the reign of Cyrus the Great, 500 B.C.
As we approached the foot of the rugged cliffs where deep, narrow, winding gorges penetrate far into the mountainside, I remarked to myself, "What a setting for banditry." Suddenly it was changed from contemplation to reality. Two British lorries had already been stopped and we were forced to slow down because the road was blocked by the trucks. Suddenly from ambush two long rifles appeared. Then the rugged slopes seemed to be alive with brigands.
I was riding in the front seat and was not molested for a time for in Persia the "big shots" always ride in the back. My associate and my personal secretary and helper were dragged from the car and stripped of their clothing. Then I was relieved of my money, my glasses, camera, watch, etc.
Then two other cars were observed to have stopped about one-half kilometer up the road and one was turning around. My driver was forced to turn his car around and drive back in an effort to stop these two machines. they caught one, but the other got safely away, and notified a small garrison of soldiers that were quartered eight kilometers further up the valley. But the soldiers were slow in responding and did not appear until the bandits were well out of the way with the long night ahead.
Meanwhile attention of the group had been focused upon me and some were quite determined that I should be shot. One of them started the cry that I was English. Another, who was at that time on top of the closest lorry said, "Who is the Englisher, show him to me and I will shoot him." Another came running up and said: "You are Englishman, you have taken our country, now, we will take you to execution field." He gathered hold of me and endeavored to pull me away, but I broke his hold and stepped back to my car that had returned. My driver and my secretary made a desperate effort to convince the mob that I was not English but was an engineer who had come to help them with their water problems. The secretary showed them our instruments, then showed them his prayer symbol of polished clay and told them that he is a Mussulman from Meshed and swore by Allah and all the saints and prophets that I was not English.
Still they were not satisfied and three nasty looking, old-fashioned muskets of ancient vintage were leveled at me. My driver had also very eagerly pleaded and swore by God and the Prophets that I was not English. Finally he stepped in front of me and said, "If you shoot him you must shoot me first."
Just then the leader shouted, "Take your packs and run for the mountains, the soldiers will come. So they left me and ran. The leader stayed behind to complete the examination of my baggage, then he went a short distance up the slope and stood guard until we left.
During the entire time I was not the least big excited, and I had no feeling of fear. When they were pulling at me and I realized that they wanted my life, I offered a silent prayer with full faith that the Lord would see me through safely and He did.
In the very beginning I had touched the good side of the chief by revealing the secret compartment of my wallet where the big money was concealed and by showing him how to work my camera. He later on returned my glasses and fountain pen; but the glasses were finally taken by another of the ruffians when I was stripped of my outer clothing down to my garments.
We went back to the caravans where the soldiers were stationed and spent the night.
There we borrowed enough clothing to serve our momentary needs and money enough to carry us to Sheraz where the governor general fixed us up with new clothes and other things of necessity.
I have received royal treatment from all officials here and telegrams of apology and assurance of complete restitution from officials at Teheran, together with assurance that the culprits will be apprehended and hanged at the scene of their crime. Already 13 suspects have been brought to prison here and I have looked them over carefully. They answer the general description, except in a few individuals whom we are sure we did not see at the "holdup." The stories about their capture are confused so I am not at all sure that these are the men.
January 29. – Since I wrote the above two days have passed. I spent the 27th in a series of conferences, revisits to the military prison and in a short trip to nearby agricultural projects. Yesterday, at the request of the general who is in charge of military forces in Southern Persia, I accompanied the Colonel (commander of local forces) to the village where the prisoners were captured. We were heavily armed and were preceded by an escort of 209 soldiers. It appears that the men put up a desperate resistance for 18 hours then surrendered after the base of the tower where they were barricaded was set in flames by means of gasoline-soaked inflammables.
I saw the signs of the conflict, and the collection of old guns that looks as if it had been taken from an Arabic or a Turkish antique shop. The general has promised to give me one of these as a trophy.
The wretched condition of the villagers and the village and the terrified pleading of the women and children made my heart bleed, and I shall never forget it. It makes me more determined than ever to devote my energy and talent such as I have to the relief of these poor people. There was not enough food and clothing in that village to serve the needs of one family. Most of the men as well as the women and children were bare-footed, and were clothed in rags that the ragman in America would not accept. Really it is heart-rending to witness such absolute poverty and misery. I went into one hovel where two little children were shivering in ad ark corner. They were terrified at first but I made them understand that I would not hurt them and was rewarded by a smile and a mumbled "God bless you" when I gave each some money.
Today I am dining with the governor general and I hope to impress him with the need for solving their crime problem, not by hanging a few unfortunates who happen to be caught, but by making it possible for the people to secure a decent livelihood.
As you see by the sketch enclosed, the village referred to above is just over a chain of low hills from Persopolis and Persopolis is in a large valley now nearly desolate for lack of water on the land, but there is a river of considerable size flowing by. The older diversions have gone to ruin and need only to be repaired to provide the life-giving water to a fertile soil. there is a new sugar factory nearby that runs at 25 per cent capacity because the sugar beets cannot be grown in sufficient quantity within reach of the factory, and the crop, such as it is, must be carried in on the backs of donkeys or camels. Meanwhile the nation is rationing sugar to the people and monopolies have developed which control the product and the price so that the poor people must go entirely without. In one of the recent robberies the bandits took sugar only and let it be known why they took it.
There are several sugar factories in the country and none is running to as much as 50 per cent capacity. One of my jobs will be to put the land and the water together in the vicinity of these factories so that each can increase its output to somewhere near maximum capacity, and at the same time make a livelihood for more and more of these poor people.
At present there is a tremendous percentage of these poor villagers who smoke opium, one of the local products of the soil. They do it to ease the pains of hunger in many cases. when one sees their wretched condition he is prone to say, "I do not blame them for trying to forget their pain for even a little while."
I have just returned form the governor general's dinner and I was accorded a wonderful reception as the guest of honor. I met many of the leading men and some of their wives. These included the general who is chief of staff of the Persian Army, the English consul and wife, two of the leading physicians and their wives, and several leaders in business and professions. Several of them including the governor general speak English well.
All expressed sympathy for the treatment I had received on my way down here and the general gave me assurance that it would not be repeated if he and his men could prevent it. I assured them that I was none the worse for the experience and I sincerely appreciated their concern for my welfare and that probably it was a part of th great plan for arousing the country to a state of action so that the work of improving the conditions of the people may go forward faster than it might have done if we had not been molested.
I feel that this affair has served to focus attention on our work and that we shall be able to make much better progress from here on.
Tomorrow and the next day I am to see the country nearby including a part of the valley near Persopolis that is going to ruin and requires rebuilding. then we will take a military escort and make a study of a string of valleys far up the river and down the river to where the surplus waters enter a salty sea. I expect to find many opportunities for development and locate sites for study where storage is possible.
It gives me a real thrill of satisfaction to realize how badly my particular brand of service is needed by a people who respond so readily to kindness and real understanding, and I am truly thankful that my life has been spared to render this service that is needed so badly.
I have met many wonderful characters of both high and humble rank and all have responded favorably and with enthusiasm to the frank, straightforward manner that I have adopted in discussing our plan of procedure which is to help the country by improving conditions for the common people. I have told the men in high office that I want to spend my time in planning projects that can be built with limited capital by the people who will be directly benefited and with the materials that are at hand, rather than to start out with big and prohibitively expensive structures that would be more spectacular, and would be chiefly beneficial to the men who are already wealthy. This attitude of sincerity in wanting to help the people who are on the land or who would gladly be there if they had a fighting chance, has struck a responsive chord and I have great hope of making real success of my assignment here in Persia.
I am lonely at times for my family and my associates and friends at home; but I am endeavoring to keep so busy that I do not have time to think about home too much.
Will you please remember me sincerely to Dr. Widtsoe and our associates on the welfare and agricultural committees.
Ever your friend and brother.
L.M. Winsor

Topic: A Grindhouse Wedding
Ok, so I stole the title line from the news story over at movies.com. But it appears as thought Planet Terror star Rose McGowan and director Robert Rodriguez are getting married. The two met while filming the movie and it has been reported that she has been seen sporting a large engagement ring. The funny thing is they met while Rodriguez was still with his wife of 16 years. Yet another hollywood love story that broke up a marriage and created another! lol

'All of the above' Fails On Every Level

President Barack Obama spent much of the campaign touting his "all of the above" energy strategy -- a proposal which, to hear him explain it, will reduce America's reliance on foreign oil, save families and businesses money at the pump and position the United States as the global leader in clean energy.
Sounds great, right? Almost too good to be true?
That's because it is.
Obama's "all of the above" energy scheme will actually pump billions of tax dollars into economically unjustifiable green energy schemes, undermine America's coal industry, limit domestic energy exploration, and raise the cost of products and services through a series of mandates and taxes.
Worst of all, Obama's plan to tinker with fuel mileage regulations would actually kill thousands of Americans.
In order to reduce the use of fossil fuels, the president has pledged to increase the handouts and tax breaks available for renewable energy. Obama was apparently so pleased with the stimulus money spent subsidizing companies like Solyndra, that he believes billions of additional tax dollars should go towards wasteful and ineffective green boondoggles.
While Obama's energy plan is busy subsidizing green energy, it damages traditional energy suppliers by slashing the number of acres available for oil-shale mining by more than 75 percent and calling for a $27 billion tax hike on oil and gas over the next decade.
One of the central tenets of Obama's energy plan is to push out American coal production. Reducing the amount of coal available for power plants will substantially increase American's electric bills. The federal government's own studies estimate that recently adopted coal regulations pushed by Obama will cost American families $10 billion per year -- and that's only the beginning of higher electricity expenses if Obama has his way.
In August, the Obama Administration invented a new set of fuel efficiency standards, forcing auto makers to produce cars and light trucks that get 54.5 mpg by 2025. The stricter standards will increase the price of a new car by about $3,000, according to federal estimates.
Not only would this fuel economy mandate cost drivers money, it would cost thousands of American lives.
Since the simplest way to improve a vehicle's mileage is to reduce its weight, the new fuel efficiency standards will force drivers into "small, underpowered death traps," according to the National Center for Policy Analysis.
A study by Harvard University and the Brookings Institution found that, on average, for every 100 pounds shaved off new cars to meet fuel efficiency standards, approximately 3,000 additional people are killed each year. USA Today calculated that size and weight reductions of passenger vehicles required to meet current fuel efficiency standards resulted in more than 46,000 deaths. The Obama Administration's new fuel efficiency standards almost double the current standards. It's horrifying to consider the increased number of deaths that will result if Obama has his way and the new standards are implemented.
Obama's assault on America's energy producers and taxpayers is nothing new.
Despite pledging to work to extend the Keystone XL Pipeline, Obama rejected a permit to continue work on the project. The pipeline, which would transport oil from Canada, Montana and Oklahoma to refineries, distribution hubs and storage facilities, would expand America's supply of affordable, available oil. It would also result it 130,000 jobs -- including 20,000 union jobs -- according to the Houston Chronicle, while posing little environmental risk.
Additionally, the Obama Administration continues to resist efforts to open new areas to responsible oil exploration and issues fewer drilling permits than the historical average.
If Obama truly cared about addressing the future of America's energy needs, his "all of the above" energy plan would look a lot different. Actually, it would look more like his Republican challenger's. Romney's energy plan would've opened up more federal land for energy production, ended subsidies for windmills and other green energy sources, sped up the permitting process for drilling and encouraged finishing the Keystone XL Pipeline.
So, in the end, does President Obama's energy scheme mean fewer available fuel sources, more taxpayer subsidies to green energy companies, more dangerous vehicles, more regulations on successful energy providers or an even higher national debt? The answer, appropriately, is "all of the above." And this is an answer that Americans can't afford to accept for another four years.
