"Dr. Anthony Morris, a distinguished virologist and former Chief Vaccine
Office at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA), states that "There is
no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in
preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza" and that "The producers of
these vaccines know they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway."

It is Thanksgiving time in the USA. And so we want to thank all Long Natural
Health customers all over the world. In appreciation for your business and
support, please enjoy discounts on all the following items....
Also, many of these products we are putting on sale are targeted for Mood
Wellness. This time of year many people have trouble sleeping, are stressed
and anxious, depressed and sad. We are having GREAT results with our new
Sanesco tests and products for all kinds of mood and brain imbalances, and
sleep problems. I highly recommend Sanesco!!
Often people let us know that they see all these wonderful products but are
sometimes confused or are unsure where to start, what is best for them.
So many companies (and doctors really) simply market to everyone the same.
So many useless supplements are sold people by stores and practitioners. I
am in this business to get people well and happy, not for profits.
Please, pick up the phone and call me for a short 15 minute phone
consultation. This will save you so much time and money in the long run. I
can point you in the right direction so you are only buying supplements that
are REALLY going to help you personally.
See Consultation Info
$100 / Hour, $25 dollars per 15 minutes.
Price is dependent on ACTUAL time of our consultion.
Stop spending hundreds and thousands of dollars year after year on
supplements that are not getting you well. I can guide you to wellness for
much less and much faster.
Unsolicited Testimonials......
"For 5 years I tried endless doctors and procedures to cure my acid reflux
(GERD). I used prescription medicines to mask symptoms and then other
prescriptions medicines to alleviate the side affects of the first medicine.
I heard about digestive enzymes on LongNaturalHealth.com and decided to give
them a try. After 2 days on Therazymes I felt great! I have since had a
consult with Timothy Long to target my specific problems and tailor my
supplements. It has been about 6 months now and I am healthier, thinner and
feel like a normal person again!" - Pat M.
"Almost 2 years ago, I had to have a cervical fusion and ended up with
chronic cervical myelopathy and hyper reflexion in my lower extremities.
The nerve pain was unbearable at times and the medications prescribed for me
over the first year and a half, brought very little relief. 30 days after
using the "Therazyme IVD", a lot of the aggravating pain, sciatica, weakness
and burning in my feet had subsided to the point where I no longer needed
pain medication.
After 60 days, my legs had gotten 40% stronger and the nerve pain shooting
up and down my spine was almost completely gone. After 90 days, I was able
to walk again without a cane and had more energy. The doctors told me that
it would probably take 2 - 3 years to stop feeling the terrible effects of
the myelopathy but using the Therazyme has had a miraculous effect on my
healing time.
Thanks to Therazyme, I've gone from being bedridden in pain to walking and
working out again. Thank God for Therazyme and the caring staff at Long
Natural Health. Take care." Lillian Nelson, Maryland
"Let me start off by saying that you are in my view the best medical/health
practitioner that we have ever had the good fortune to encounter. It may not
be an exaggeration to say that you have saved our lives - at a time when
Oren and my progress were severely impaired by our health. It is also clear
that you get your results by superbly focused individual attention."
Ludwig Haskins., London, England

Vitamin C: Vision Superhero
Studies suggest that high levels of vitamin C can reduce the risk of
cataracts, which are caused by a buildup of protein that results in cloudy
vision. Antioxidant vitamins C and E may also play a role in delaying
age-related macular degeneration, which currently has no cure.
As if potential cataracts or macular degeneration weren't reason enough to
make sure you get your vitamin C, it may also prevent and alleviate
glaucoma. Studies have shown it to reduce pressure in the eyes of glaucoma

- The World Health Organization predicts that by the year 2020 depression

percent of all adults.
- Unfortunately, Anti-Depressants do not address the cause of the problem, a
lack of the "feel-good" neurotransmitter serotonin (and many others!) can
cause further depletion of serotonin and launch many into a spiral of
depression, returned depression, more drugs, worse depression, stronger
drugs, and so on.

Do you get sick more often than you'd like?
Or do you simply want to ensure that your immune system is always in tip-top
Del-Immune V, developed in Russia to treat immune depression caused by the
Chernobyl disaster, can help. It's made from lactobacillus rhamnosus, a
unique bacterial strain that is lysed, which means that the live cell is
destroyed, leaving smaller cell-wall fragments. These pieces contain
proteins and other substances that activate "switches" in the immune system
and stimulate T-cells, a white blood cell that helps protect the body from
viruses, infections and disease.
Subject: RE: Del-Immune
"Speaking of progress and well-being...I think I already have a
"testimonial"! How about that!
On the 12th I saw my doctor about inflammation on my face - he diagnosed
allergic reaction and gave me a script for steriods...It was soooo painful.
After a week, no better by the way, I went back on the 19th. He realized
that he had misdiagnosed it and that I had shingles of all things on the
right side of my face...it was still soooo painful. He said that there was
nothing he could do at this point, it was just going to have to run its
course. He said that it would take about 4-6 weeks and there would be pain
involved for a few weeks to come. Gave me a script for pain killers. But I
had one better...the package from y'all had just arrived that same day. I
began taking the Del-Immune and I have to tell you - within 48 hours the
pain in my face is all but gone and the swelling is almost gone as well.
Plus I feel soooo much better. So much for 4-6 weeks of face pain. It's
just a wee bit now.
Can I say thank you enough!?"
- Karen Beda
>>>>>>>>>> Del-Immune has proved to be one of the greatest supplements
of all time in my practice. I have seen it help so many people - fast!
I personally took one cap daily all year. Though now I am taking 2 each
day, so I do not get ill this fall or winter. Anytime I feel I have been
exposed to anything, I take a few more. Del-Immune and Vitamin D
are my two favorite supplements to prevent getting ill with a flu
or cold. - Timothy Long
Everyone who is following my recommendations for Del-Immune and Vitamin D
has not gotten a cold or flu for the past year. IF anyone out there
does get a cold or flu and you are following my advice, please call me!
Terri Hendrick, a Boulder, Colo. interior designer, used the product to stay
well on a trip to Vietnam in 2007. "I started taking Del-Immune V 2 days
before I left. Usually when I travel I have digestive problems -- especially
in Asia. This was the first time in all my travels I did not have some kind
of digestive disorders. The other five people on the trip quickly started
trading a cold. When I gave the product to my fellow travelers, they
recovered quickly," she says.

Extended Health's Oral Chelation and Longevity Plus Formula
See Product
Extended Health's Oral Chelation / Longevity Plus Formula may be the only
formula that includes ingredients to target all 20 toxic heavy metals which
can powerfully impact the body while trapped deep within the organs,
tissues, and bones. It also assists circulatory and cardiovascular health
issues all within the same formula. Memory loss, increased allergic
reactions, high blood pressure, depression, mood swings, irritability, poor
concentration, aggressive behavior, sleep disabilities, fatigue, speech
disorders, high blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, vascular
occlusion, neuropathy, autoimmune diseases, and chronic fatigue are just
some of the many conditions resulting from exposure to these toxins.
Oral Chelation/Longevity Plus Formula includes 17 chelators and 49
ingredients without which an oral chelation formula cannot be fully safe,
effective, and complete. Some of these ingredients have the ability to
mobilize what has been chelated, while others move the mobilized heavy
metals into the elimination pathways. More ingredients support and protect
the largest detoxification pathways (the liver and the kidneys) from
becoming overburdened by the excretion of the toxins. Finally, our product
properly replenishes the nutrient elements of vitamins, minerals, enzymes,
and antioxidants.
Our formula is synergistically balanced so the body does not become depleted
from chelating but rather assists in rebuilding the immune system. It is an
excellent formula for children diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders,
ADD, and ADHD who have verified toxic heavy metals.
Extended Health's Oral Chelation/Longevity Plus Formula includes natural
substances targeting all 20 of the toxic heavy metals, including ingredients
which have the ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier and mobilize
toxic poisons from the brain and nerve ganglions.
Extended Health's Oral Chelation/Longevity Plus Formula includes 30
different antioxidants which the kidneys along with having numerous other
benefits Extended Health has Clinical Studies with verified laboratory
reports (before and after) to substantiate all the benefits mentioned on
bioavailability and performance.
The following are the average percentages of increase in one clinical study
of 14 patients' heavy metal excretions after just one day on the formulas:
Aluminum: 229%, Arsenic: 661%, Cadmium: 276%, Lead: 350%, Mercury: 773%,
Nickel: 9,439%
In Dr. Poul's (Extended Health's Director of Research) private practice, 85
patients were studied using the Oral Chelation and Longevity Formulas. They
reported improvement in the following conditions: headaches, cold hands and
feet, skin problems, and degenerative diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune
disorders, arthritis, and angina pains.
They have also experienced positive effects in symptoms and conditions
related to energy level, overall stamina, memory (forgetfulness), ability to
concentrate, circulation, blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides,
vision, respiration, and sexual drive or stamina.

Mag 07 vs. Competitors: Mag 07 is formulated to release safe and beneficial
amounts of oxygen over 12 or more hours. Some of the competitors' products
claim to release oxygen, but fail in comparison. Mag 07 comes in both powder
and capsule forms, both of which are highly effective. The Mag 07 capsules
contain citric acid, which prompts the release of oxygen. Some competitor
products contain antioxidants as an ingredient. An oxidative product should
never contain ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) or any antioxidant because it
neutralizes any oxygen released making the product ineffective.

spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the
chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber will react with the boiling water
and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has
been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during
final exams.
11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don't have gum or mints?

tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the photochemical will kill
the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.
12. Looking for a 'green' way to clean your faucets, sinks or stainless
steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to
clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine,
but is won't leave streaks and won't harm you fingers or fingernails while
you clean.
13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and
slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and
markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!
Pass this along to everybody you know who is looking for better and safer
ways to solve life's everyday problems.
Aspartame Dangers You Need to Know
By Dr. Mercola
Aspartame goes by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal. It is one of the
first generation of artificial sweeteners and is 180 times as sweet as
sugar. There are over 6,000 products containing aspartame, sold in over 100
countries and consumed by over 250 million people worldwide.
There have been more reports to the FDA for aspartame reactions than for
all other food additives combined. And, there are over 900 published studies
on the health hazards of aspartame. You can find a list in the National
Library Medicine Index.
There are also some 10,000 documented reports of adverse reactions to
aspartame, including death. Since it is estimated only about 1 percent of
people who experience a reaction report it, it is safe to assume at least a
million people have had a reaction to this chemical.
Among the risks, the phenylalanine in aspartame dissociates from the
ester bond and increases dopamine levels in your brain. This can lead to
symptoms of depression because it distorts your serotonin/dopamine balance.
It can also lead to migraine headaches and brain tumors through a similar
Furthermore, the aspartic acid in aspartame is a well-documented
excitotoxin. Excitotoxins are usually amino acids, such as glutamate and
aspartate. These special amino acids cause particular brain cells to become
excessively excited, to the point they will quickly die. Excitotoxins can
also cause a loss of brain synapses and connecting fibers.
Then the ester bond in aspartame is broken down to formaldehyde and
methanol, which have their own toxicities. So it is not surprising that this
popular artificial sweetener has also been found to cause cancer.
Replace artificial sweeteners with natural Stevia.
Stevia has no negative sugar affects. Diabetics
can use all they want. I prefer the liquid versions.
I find the powder too strong and bitter.

v/s Saints - a quick pregame
well, last week I spent time over months dealing with the Bucs - fuck all that it mattered. It's :45 to kickoff and we more or less know the Saints so just a few highlights.
Obviously have to have better guard play - both guards failed miserably last week. There's no way around running the ball more, either. Cam has to limit the mistakes but moreso play under his base. I thought, the one non-mugging pick aside, he threw the ball better last week than he did this time last year. He's learned. But you can't throw the ball that many times. Harper is easy pickings, and the Saints don't have good depth at CB either - and Jenkins can be persuaded away from his responsibilities. But you have to pick your spots, too.
Run O will have to earn it, though. Bunkley is legit at DT and Ellis can penetrate (just not always finish). Bunkley, Cam Jordan, and Curtis Lofton make for a legit run D. The key will be finding a way to get around that, where the rest doesn't tackle all that well, especially the DBs; also, Will Smith at RE doesn't appear to have that big a threat.
Carolina used 3 WR about 50% of the time, and while they may prefer not to do that as much this week, they have to get under center in 3 WR and run the ball. No way around it - the shotgun runs are ugly, and PA just isn't as effective. Spread running gives some space, gives one on ones up front.
Run defense should not be an issue whatsoever. Grubbs/DelaPuente/Evans are a good trio inside and that could be difficult, but the Saints let so much go on the edge where Bushrod just doesn't seem to be that good at anything and where Hardy had a pretty good run day last week, the edges should leave everything in the middle where Carolina can contain better. They don't do lead plays much - Jed Collins played 18 snaps last week, only 6 of them run - so Kuechly should have more room, where he'll have a lot of Sproles to deal with in space.
I would anticipate another solid stretch of 3-4 and that shouldn't hurt, and it's a good base look against the 2TE sets (Graham/Thomas played a combined 30 snaps, so half the game). For the most part it's horrendously stupid to blitz Brees so the best you can hope for is another solid outing for our DEs (3 pressures apiece, regardless of whether Hardy lost his sack to Edwards, or that Johnson was in on pretty much every collapse) and a little stunting or misdirection. But let's shelf the double A-gap blitz look for a few minutes and leave our LBs in place to make a play on a ball. We shouldn't blitz, we have no business blitzing like that, and Drew Brees is just too smart for that. They like it deep, so either the rush does or doesn't get there.
Colston will play a lot against Norman, which if he doesn't make a ton of mistakes should be OK - and Colston wasn't himself last week. No Meacham means better matchups on the other side, too. Moore is pretty solid, but Henderson is being asked to do more than just run 5-6 go routes a game and it's not helping him. Graham? I hope we have something interesting there. It's a win if we can keep him from being matched up on Munnerlyn, who responded as just a nickel (he did play some base, since neither he nor Norman had a game's worth of snaps, but Norman played more).
Don't have a great feeling about this one - unlike Tampa there's definitely the feeling that NO is a better team, even with their current issues, where Tampa may or may not have taken advantage of being new and less scoutable and their success is one game old. NO can still out-physical, and out-pass, Carolina and my guess is they probably will, it's just up to this moody team to keep up.

Lisa Kudrow's no to nude'Friends' star Lisa Kudrow says she'd never do a nude scene.
The 42-year-old thinks it would be too embarrassing for her 7-year-old son, Julian.
She revealed to Night & Day magazine: "I would never do a topless scene because of my son.
"If a film calls for nudity, I would request a body double. I'm too prudish to do that and it's not necessary.
The actress also admits she didn't lose her virginity until she was 20.
She said: "I wanted my first time to be special.
"When I was 14 I didn't even think about boys. I was the shy one at school.
"When I finally got a boyfriend I knew the time was right. I was 20 when it happened, which is late by today's standards.
She added: "He's married with kids now, so that's all I'm going to say on the subject."

Colour is a subject that was rarely explored or even acknowledged in comics in their earliest days – colour was simply a given, with a palette of four colours used in various lackluster combinations as a standard. Black and white was reserved for newspaper offerings, and the general expectation from the advent of the regular comic book (beginning essentially with Classics Illustrated) was that comic images required a colourist in order to be published and purchased. This presented some problems early on when consistency was also expected, however, with a notable example being one of Superman's first appearances in The New York World's Fair Comics #1 in April of 1939 in which he actually had blonde hair – it's an interesting exercise to think on how something as simple as an alternate hair colour changes our understanding of iconic characters.
The visual discrepancy highlights a key point that we don't often recognize about comics: more than facial characteristics, more than consistency in storytelling and character development, more than nearly any other element of comics, expectations of colour are demanded by their readers once they've been established. Colour often carries with it subtle (and not so subtle) meanings: the red and blue costume of Superman representing American idealism (as in Captain America, as in Spider-Man), the blue-blacks and grays of Batman representing a lack of allegiance to laws in his vigilantism, the browns and yellows of Wolverine representing his animal nature and ferocity, the green of Green Lantern stressing something both alien yet natural – bound in these colours are the metaphors of identity and what they're meant to represent to the reader in term of ideals.
We don't discuss them, likely, because they're difficult to pin down and even more difficult to agree on, as even with the short list above I'm sure I'd encounter a few alternate and heated perspectives in Wednesday comic shop debates, let alone with my readers here. Regardless of what you think of as being the meaning behind the colouring, whether in hair, costume, skin tone or landscape, it's difficult to argue with the fact that it carries embedded meaning. Draw his chiseled jaw more softly, give him stubble, have him curse or even kill, and Superman is still Superman. Try to imagine him in a green costume (or give him blond hair) however, and this is no longer the case. Even in radical alterations of continuity by authors who want to put their own stamp on a character or genre, dramatic colouring differences are never even attempted, as both artists and readers know they would fail.
Scott McCloud's theory of reduction can be applied here, though it's not quite what he intended it for: when we encounter a drawing that is photorealistic, we see only the specific image and are drawn along a single narrative pathway. As images become more, say, "comicky," with starker lines and less shading, they become universal, allowing us to imbue them with everyman qualities and inject ourselves into the storytelling:
Applied to colouring in comics, this logic has a twofold effect here – it both heightens our sensitivity to the metaphors that are intended by the colourist to elicit, while at the same time allowing all of our subjective applications of what we suppose that metaphor should elicit because they're never overtly stated. And unlike in dialogue or even image, we are rarely trained to be aware of these responses, and so they operate predominantly on a subconscious level.
This is not to say that mainstream comics do not experiment with colourless stories for well-known characters; they certainly do, but when this happens they typically draw great attention to this fact for a particular purpose. The currently running DC title "Batman: Black and White" is a key example – now in its second (or third?) volume, the miniseries offers short tales, ranging from three to ten pages at most, that showcase particular artists while offering brief biographies of what they offer to the industry. Operating outside of continuity, these stories are there to be able to highlight the "art" of Batman, allowing the reader not to get lost in the metaphors that colour provides and instead concentrate on the pencils of the artist and the story itself. This tactic also ostensibly plays to the standard approach to understanding black and white as being the domain of the indie comic that assumes a loftier goal in terms of depth and storytelling, and the vignettes in the series typically shoot for this kind of high art. Despite this dramatic purpose, however, it's ultimately ineffective, as we're too familiar with what the colours should be already – the characters and scenes draw upon so deep a history that they may as well already be coloured. Reading a black and white Batman brooding over Gotham, it is hard to imagine a single reader envisioning him in anything other than a black and grey costume with a wet, rusty gray pall cast over the cityscape.
The "sketch cover," now a staple of the mainstream comics' industry, is perhaps a little more effective here, as it offers as a variant a single image that has been reduced (or enhanced) to colourlessness for collectors. Placing these side by side, we can see how great an impact that colour can have on a reader, and Michael Turner's beautifully detailed Civil War covers, each released with a 1:75 sketch variant, work well to highlight the point:
The contrast is striking, but difficult to define in terms of reader response. Is the colourless cover more of an art object now that it is in pencil, with only a single contributor? Does it represent the story within in the same way as the original, coloured cover, and is it even supposed to? Is it really any different at all, as we implicitly know what colours should be present because we're familiar with the characters already? Despite these arguably intentional ambiguities, we can't help but acknowledge that the coloured panel or page "reads" differently for all of the meanings that colour evokes, as does its absence when we find it missing from a space in which we assume it belongs.
Colour is a metonym of the most personal nature, and it ushers forth meanings that are significant to us precisely because we don't realize that they're there. Black and white may allow us to fill the empty spaces with what we think should be present, but colour comics do this work for us and thereby allow the chosen colours to carry meaning and weight, adding another layer to the intertextuality that we're more trained for when accessing dialogue or even juxtaposed images.
[…] Comics | Scott Marsden talks about the meaning of color in comics (specifically, superhero comics), not just the significance of specific color choices but also what our expectations are (he shows a blond Superman to make his point). [Graphixia] […]

SOCHI, Russia (AP) -- Dustin Brown banged in a go-ahead goal late in the first period and the United States went on to dominate the Czech Republic 5-1 Wednesday, earning a spot in the Olympic hockey semifinals for the second straight time.
The U.S. will play the winner of the Canada-Latvia game on Friday for a spot in the gold-medal game.
James van Riemsdyk gave the Americans a lead 1:39 into the game. They lost it a few minutes later when one of their defenseman, Ryan McDonagh tried to clear the puck away from the front of the crease and it went off the left skate of Ryan Suter and got past Jonathan Quick.

Resellers, bookworms swarm on annual used book sale
Thursday, March 17, 2011
When the flood of book-buyers streamed into the library's annual book sale Wednesday afternoon, many toward the front of the line had their trusty bar scanners in hand.
These weren't your average bookworms. They were professional book sellers, some driving from other parts of the country in search of bargains and profits. Minutes after the doors at the St. Martins Knights of Columbus hall flung open, several hundred people were poring through the estimated 130,000 books being sold.
Call it March Madness, Missouri River Regional Library style.

Any relief for all day (slight) nausea?
For the past two weeks I've been nauseous all day! It's irritating because I wake up at night wanting to throw up. I've tried Preggie Pops, and yes they work wonders, but is there anything else I could do? Thanks in advance!

I am 11 weeks and extremely sick and nauseated. I have been sick since week 6. It is so sad and depressing , I have lost control of my personal life. my work productivity is also sinking.I already have a 3 years old child and I was very sick for him too . I found nothing really helps. I basically count days and go by days. Dr. gave me Zofran which helps just a little but unfortunately it is not covered by my insurance and it very expensive, so I used it when i really have to, like when I have a meeting. I also found out sugar makes my stomach upset, all the greens and vegetables are my enemies , and I don't like to eat meet. so my choices of food is very limited. Another thing is that the worse thing for me is having empty stomach, that kills me. If I can pile up food, I feel a little bit less sick. I also enjoy very much chewing on ice and having very cold drinks ( milk with ice, cold water, acai blueberring smoothie, ice coconut water ). Also I like having clam chowder. Good luck!posted 10/07/2012 by Shadi3

I seem to have an issue startling persons on my local trail when I go to pass them. I am courteous to others when riding on local trails whenit comes to passing them from behind (mostly people running or walking). But just about every time I acknowledge I am going to pass, they seem to become startled and practically jump out of the way. I even started indicating "passing on the left", and still they seem to be startled when I announce I am passing. In most cases, if the person in front of me does not look back and see me when I am approaching them, I always slow way down and prepare to stop just incase... so it is not like I am only giving two seconds notice before passing. I feel kind of bad, but, I really don�t know what else to do. Aside from putting a bell on my bike, lol that would cramp my style, is there anything else I can do? Or is this just how it is.
Thank, jR

Texts show Texas Christmas Day shooting timeline
Thursday, December 29, 2011
DALLAS (AP) — One of the victims of a Christmas Day shooting in Texas that left seven dead sent text messages before her uncle opened fire on the gathering saying he was there dressed as Santa Claus and wanted to be "all fatherly," police said Wednesday.
Investigators say 56-year-old Aziz Yazdanpanah, who had marital and financial problems, killed his estranged wife, their two teenage children, his wife's sister, his brother-in-law and his niece before turning the gun on himself. They were at an apartment in the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Grapevine, where his wife and children had been staying.
Yazdanpanah's niece, 22-year-old Sara Fatemeh Zarei, sent a text to a friend just before 11 a.m. saying they had arrived at the apartment and that Yazdanpanah was there. "Soo we're here. We just got here and my uncle is here too. Dressed as Santa. Awesome," she said in one text.
At 11:15 a.m. she texted, "Now he wants to be all fatherly and win father of the year."
Grapevine police Sgt. Robert Eberling said police believe that after Yazdanpanah shot his six family members he called 911 at 11:34 a.m. and then shot himself. Police arrived about three minutes later and found everyone dead. It appeared they had been opening presents around their Christmas tree just before the attack.
A recording of the 911 call released Wednesday revealed someone saying "Help ... Help" and then "I am shooting people." Police said those words, muffled by the caller's labored breathing, couldn't be heard by the dispatcher Sunday but were audible when investigators used a different software system Wednesday. They believe the call was made by Yazdanpanah.
Authorities believe that in addition to killing his wife of 24 years, 55-year-old Fatemah Rahmati, their 19-year-old daughter Nona and 14-year-old son Ali, Yazdanpanah also killed his wife's sister, 58-year-old Zohreh Rahmaty, her husband, 59-year-old Mohamad Hossein Zarei, and their daughter, Sara.
Eberling said one of the two weapons, a 9 mm, was purchased in 1996 and registered to Yazdanpanah. The other weapon was a .40 caliber.
The medical examiner's office said Yazdanpanah's son, daughter, niece and sister-in-law were shot multiple times in the head. His wife was shot once in the head and his brother-in-law was shot multiple times in the head, chest and stomach.
Police believe that before Yazdanpanah killed himself, he tried to stage the scene by placing one of the two guns used in the hand of his deceased brother-in-law, Mohamad Zarei, Eberling said.
"I think he was probably overwhelmed when it was all said and done and decided to take his life instead," said Eberling, who added that Mohamad Zarei had been shot with both weapons.
Eberling said Yazdanpanah was the only one to fire the two weapons found at the scene. A gun was also found in his hand.
Eberling has said that detectives believe Yazdanpanah's marital and financial troubles led him to kill his family, but added Wednesday that his exact thought process that morning may never be known.
"We really don't have a clear idea of why he did this," Eberling said. "Sometimes there's not a really good explanation for irrational behavior."
Federal court records show Yazdanpanah was placed on three years' probation in 1996 after pleading guilty to one count of subscribing to a false income tax return. He was fined $1,000 and required to pay $30,119 in restitution.
Three years later, Yazdanpanah and his wife filed jointly for bankruptcy. That case was discharged in a matter of months.
Mashy Modjdehi, a friend of Yazdanpanah's wife who owns a beauty salon in nearby Plano, said the family's financial troubles intensified about four years ago when Yazdanpanah stopped working in the mortgage business.
Modjdehi said Yazdanpanah had long forbidden Rahmati, who holds a state cosmetology license, to work. But once he became unemployed, his wife held down jobs at two spas, the friend said.
Rahmati, known to family and friends as Nasrin, had filed for bankruptcy in August 2010, and told her attorney she hoped the proceedings would stave off foreclosure of the home.
She separated from Yazdanpanah in the midst of the bankruptcy and the proceedings were later dismissed because she failed to make the plan payments, said the attorney, George Barnes. Barnes said Yazdanpanah listed his occupation as "self-employed."
Rahmati moved out of the couple's home in Colleyville in April with the couple's two children and into the apartment complex two miles away, Modjdehi said.
Yazdanpanah, often referred to as "Bob," remained in the Colleyville home, currently valued on the tax rolls at $336,200, and was often seen working in his yard. Neighbors said there were few signs of discord.
The couple's daughter graduated from Colleyville Heritage High School this year and was attending a local community college. A friend said she hoped to go to school in California and become a lawyer.
The friend, Yiselle Alvarenga, said Nona had hinted in August that things were becoming increasingly difficult in her life but didn't go into details.
Alvarenga said she knew that Nona's father was "really strict" but that "her mom was more understanding."

Franklin Jackson (pictured) was charged with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence of a crash Sunday afternoon, after he smashed his SUV into a guard rail and was reportedly too drunk to notice that his 4-year-old son had been ejected through the vehicle's rear window. His son, Franklin Jr. (pictured), who was not wearing his seatbelt, died of head trauma, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Franklin's wife, Linda Bassett, and their three other children — ages 1, 2 and three-months old — were riding in the SUV with him as well. The family was traveling from League City, Texas to Chicago to visit Bassett's relatives for the holidays. According to police, Jackson struck a guard rail twice as they traveled along the highway. Upon smashing his vehicle, Jackson continued to travel four exits before stopping at a gas station to observe the vehicle's damage.
Neither he nor his wife noticed that Franklin Jr. had been ejected from the vehicle during the crash. The child had flown through the vehicle's rear window and lay in a grassy embankment along the highway. Police who responded to the scene found the unresponsive child, who was later taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
Jackson, who was treated at a hospital for broken ribs told police he did not know his 4-year-old had been thrown from the SUV until he arrived at the gas station. Bassett and the couple's three other children were not injured.

As a reminder to my readers, the word "bigot" generally means, "a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs". This behavior is generally identified by a person's refusal to accept or even acknowledge any information, facts, or figures that contradict or disprove their personal opinions; an overwhelming desire to dominate a conversation through the use of carefully-crafted insults, insinuations, and personal attacks; and a complete and utter inability to "live and let live", respect other people's rights and/or freedoms, or even accept that other people have differing opinions.
So how bigoted is the organization that "seeks to secure freedom from gun violence through research, strategic engagement and effective policy advocacy"?
This bigoted:
CSGV: @AntiTango @combs_brandon @BillMCyrus Not at all, but it isn't representative of broader African American opinion in his city. #p2 #politics
BillMCyrus: @CSGV So opinions, rights and authority to speak on them is tied to racial identity, and only ones you approve. Isn't that racist?
CSGV: @BillMCyrus No. Wanting someone with little screening or training to stay away from you in public when they are carrying a gun isn't racist.
linoge_wotc: But it is definitionally bigoted. RT @CSGV: Wanting someone with little screening or training to stay away from you in public when they are carrying a gun isn't racist.
CSGV: @linoge_wotc Given the gun death rate in this country and the rhetoric that comes from you guys, it couldn't be more rational. #p2 #politics
linoge_wotc: @CSGV Your erroneous sense of scale is mindblowing. Given the number of gun owners in the country, using "gun deaths" to stereotype them all is hilariously irrational, illogical, and just plain stupid. http://tinyurl.com/6gecahv
Please note: unlike almost every other post in this category, I changed nothing in the above blockquote. No words have been substituted, altered, adjusted, or changed – I had to do nothing to properly showcase Ladd Everitt's bigotry.
Which is kind of saying something.
A few observations… First, Ladd feels comfortable dictating the opinion of the "broader African American opinion" in Chicago. On what basis? Through what means? Based on what information? Note that, once again, no citations are provided.
Second, note how Everitt wants people who carry firearms to "stay away from" him. Remind you of anything?
Third, remember the below graphic:
It is unquestionably unfortunate that so many criminals use firearms to unlawfully murder other individuals, but attempting to use that massively small fraction of firearm-owners to stereotype, attack, and demean the millions upon millions upon millions of law-abiding firearm owners is simply dumb, there is no way around it.
Fourth, despite Ladd's attempt at irrationally conflating the two, all firearm-owners are not criminals, and, typically speaking, the kind of person who would use a firearm to murder another individual is the kind of person who already has a sufficient criminal record to bar him from legal ownership. As such, predictably enough, Everitt is afraid of the wrong kind of people – it is not the permit holders he has to worry about (in fact, they are demonstrably more law-abiding than "average" Americans), but rather the criminals he would use to libel everyone else.
Fifth and finally, note how Ladd attempts to imply that I, and my fellow law-abiding firearm owners, are merely moments away from snapping and killing someone due to the "rhetoric" we apparently employ. Of course, once again, the CSGV's anointed representative is light on citations and substantiations for his accusation, but that has never stopped him before… In truth, murder is rarely the first crime, and since I currently possess a handgun carry permit through two different states, it is fair to say that I have absolutely no criminal record, nor have I ever physically threatened anyone in person or through this weblog. In fact, I generally see violence as a measure of last resort, and have absolutely no desires, intentions, or "dreams" of killing another person unless there is no other option available to me.
Unfortunately, none of that matters to Everitt – I disagreed with him, and that makes me a potential "gun death" perpetrator. Well, as far as I care to assume, you have a penis, right, Ladd? I guess that makes you a "potential rapist". And every woman is a "potential hooker". And…
Despite there being absolutely no evidence, whatsoever, that you, as a law-abiding citizen who happens to carry a firearm for self-defense, would commit a crime, Ladd Everitt of the Coalition to Stop Gun
Violence Ownership would rather cross the street should he ever encounter you, rather than just walk on by and live and let live. That is, of course, his choice.
But it is the choice of a bigot.

Arab by descent, reared in the West and educated at New York University across the Atlantic from her London home, director Zeina Durra found inspiration from her own background when she wrote and directed "The Imperialists Are Still Alive!," which screened in competition at the Sundance Film Festival in January and had its New York premiere earlier this Summer as part of the Northside/The L Magazine festival in Brooklyn, co-hosted by indieWIRE.
Durra's film is set in the aftermath of 9/11 as the New York Arab community braces for a backlash. Asya (Élodie Bouchez) and her friends straddle the city's downtown nightlife, reeling from the apparent CIA abduction of their friend as he was flying to the U.S. Asya, a fashionable French Manhattanite, embarks on an affair with a Mexican hottie, often hilariously confronting the clash between the contemporary values she embraces and the traditions and protocol of her heritage.
"This was like me working through my upbringing, dislocated from all this conflict," Durra said on what had inspired "Imperialists." "I grew up lucky, but still with the burden of coming from a background of conflict."
While attending NYU in the wake of 9/11, Durra said she and her friends tried to keep a low profile, though that proved to be a challenge under the circumstances. "We were told to 'act normal' and [my friends and I] were at this club and we were seated there and nobody knew what to say. So we just sat there."
Like the character Asya in "Imperialists," Durra is a fashionable and outspoken individual with a strong creative streak, which she channels into her own experiences. Aside from the obvious 9/11 component to her film, which still has yet to find U.S. distribution, New York's social and ethnic mosaic is also a running theme.
"It's always something that has interested me as an observer and it came naturally in this story which is about and set in New York City where everyone is piled on top of one another and so forced to mix," Durra said. "Then from a more intellectual standpoint there's the idea that Middle Easterners (or any people) tend to seek solace with one another especially in times of crisis regardless of background."
And while "Imperialists" honestly - and even hilariously - tackles not only the clash of culture, but even of social class, gender and generational divides set in America, Durra is now looking to transport similar themes to her next project, set in the Middle East.
"I have many stories I'd like to tell. I'm writing and just did a location scout for my next film in Jordan," Durra said. Her next story will involve three cousins from New York and Paris who travel to Jordan to attend a funeral. "Everyone comes for forty days. Everybody is there - the people you hate and the people that hate you." Durra noted that her next project will not only feature a group of zany characters thrust into a situation of social obligation despite their personal clashing idiosyncrasies and dislikes, but also hint at the general tensions in the Middle East.
"Rather than deal with genres," she said, "I think that once I've made a couple more films, people who may not fully understand my voice - as it's not one they've heard before - will [find it] easier to understand this world I'm exploring."

Classic Week Is A Dragon Age Sized "Take That" To MMORPGs
Well, this is rather hilarious. In case the announcement of Dragon Age II has you on edge, and if the cascade of Dragon Age: Origins DLC hasn't been cascadey enough, here's a little mod that might just fill the hole. Modder Mengtzu dropped this back in May – it's called Classic Week (and no, we can't figure out WTF that title is supposed to mean), and it aims to give dedicated Dragon Agers the MMORPG experience without the M, M or O. With over 6 hours of game play, it promises a fresh take on existing Dragon Age locations, fast paced and action heavy Boss encounters, and other goodies.
It's also an extremely deconstructionist take on the MMORPGs. Single player, for starters, with the lack of other gamers is more than made up for by in-game chatter that parodies inter-player dialogue in online games. No word on whether or not the NPC PCs will be full of the same winning combination of immaturity and racism that you find on Xbox Live, but it's a great idea nonetheless. You can grab a copy here.

Pete Gershon, the coordinator of the Core Residency Program at the Glassell School of Art, was touching up orange paint on the school's lobby walls a few days before the 2014 Core Exhibition opened. "We call it Core-ange," he said, grinning. It seems to be his signature color: The History Press recently published Gershon's book, "Painting the Town Orange: The Stories Behind Houston's Visionary Art Environments" (224 pp., $21.99).

I like the looks of it so far. You're off to a good start. Looking forward to see it all come together.
I find the drawing of all the walls tedious. Perhaps I should investigate a more cad like program than Photoshop just to get the walls.
Anyway here are the 4 levels so far.... I will modify this message with updates.
For scale - the main walls are 5' thick
I always find a used building is more complicated than a simple square.

This looks like an interesting layout. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.
I have to apologize for slowing it up a bit.
er... its currently being explored...
A very interesting start; the non-simple square approach gives it character.
Out of curiosity, what is the time period supposed to be? Lockers seem relatively modern but stables and "towers" seem older.
Assuming vaguely Medievalish: do they have another source of water? Having an indoor well (at least, I think that is a well) is very nice and a great idea of an inn... but the kitchen needs water. So they'd be bucketing it through the main room and across an entry way (it looks like the top of the map is the street side, so the main entry way too). Not very practical, it would seem.
It is medievalesq - that is a well and yes they bucket brigade.
I try and make buildings plausible (that's why they take so long). I've done a lot more that I will post when my players have sorted it out.
'Lockers' is a rotten name but descriptive.

Good call! A little sexcitment! MMMMM HHMMM!
half sitting up with my knees up is good while he goes down on me. Sometimes I like to be laying completely flat on my back as long as I have something to grab when the time "cums" .....as for me giving a blow job....sometimes I really don't think it matters for the guy!
They like a good blow job no matter what position! But I must say, a little taste of our juices makes it all that much better for me... that is a HUGE turn on for me!
And it does often depend on the guy. I met a guy a while back, who had a magical tongue. Like no one I have ever been with. He is one of those types that I need to stay away from!
But we got in just enough trouble that night!
Thanks for stirring it up Som!

December 1, 2010
Electronic logs are fast becoming the standard for compliance. But do they improve safety?
Customer service was the initial reason Central Refrigerated starting using electronic logs. With onboard computers and other technologies, the Salt Lake City-based company could notify customers automatically of load arrivals and departures – but a key component was missing.
Some drivers falsified their paper logbooks to match the electronically captured arrival and departure events. Due to delays in retrieving and scanning paper logs, Central Refrigerated wasn't able to detect these and other problems until perhaps 20 to 30 days later.
Billing a customer for detention charges with errors in driver logs puts a fleet's credibility at risk, says Allen Lowry, director of safety. "To solidify that process, we wanted to make it easier for drivers to keep track of what time they arrived and departed," Lowry says.
Almost immediately after deciding to implement electronic logs, Central Refrigerated was audited by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The company was not found deficient in any safety category, but it came "pretty close" in the 70-hour workweek rule, Lowry says.
After the audit, Central Refrigerated accelerated its conversion to electronic logs. Lowry credits the technology for reducing drivers' 70-hour workweek violations by 97 percent and false logs by 100 percent since fall 2008. More importantly, accident severity has dropped sharply during that time – a likely result of reducing driver fatigue, he says.
"After we went to electronic logs, we can guarantee that a driver gets a 10-hour break," Lowry says. "On paper logs, you don't know what they are doing out there."
In the past few years, hundreds of fleets voluntarily have converted to electronic logs to enforce compliance with hours-of-service regulations. However, the safety benefits of using the technology are not always as clear-cut. In this article on combating driver fatigue, we examine what role, if any, electronic logs can play in reducing fatigue and accidents.
Correlation with safety
Cargo Transporters already was using various safety technologies in its 400-truck fleet before adding electronic logs in winter 2008. Its safety systems included anti-rollover, lane departure warning and collision avoidance technology.
Safety was a major consideration when the Claremont, S.C.-based truckload carrier implemented Qualcomm's Hours of Service (QHOS) application for its MCP100 in-cab computing platform. Cargo Transporters rolled out QHOS across its fleet within two months.
When using paper logs, compliance always had been a gray area. As part of the dispatch process, drivers had to input their available hours manually into the Qualcomm system. Dispatchers would use this information for making load assignments.
"We found out that drivers manipulated numbers to gain better dispatches," says Dennis Dillinger, Cargo Transporters president. "We were always at their mercy."
To solve the problem, management first tried auditing drivers' hours by using the number of miles traveled since the last dispatch. However, this method proved unfair for some drivers who legitimately could travel more miles in a day than expected.
"There were not a lot of good systems in place," Dillinger says. "We were doing a lot of things right, but we had a component here or there that was wrong."
With paper logs, the company also had additional exposure in accident claims. Satellite tracking captured when drivers started their 14-hour workday but did not show total time spent driving. In the event of an accident, the company lacked the means to determine HOS compliance accurately.
"As much as you want someone to run legal, you don't know if he has driven more than 11 hours," Dillinger says. "We never wanted anyone to falsify their logs, but we were smart enough to know it was happening."
Since implementing QHOS in 2008, Cargo Transporters has not seen a significant decrease in its number of incidents and accidents because they already were low, Dillinger says. However, the cost of accidents and the number of open claims has decreased significantly.
"We've got a much safer driver today than what we had," he says. Safety improvements are the result of more than just electronic logs, but the technology is "the final piece that helps us out."
No more excuses
Southeastern Freight Lines (SEFL) installed Xata in-cab computers about two years ago. Six months later, the Lexington, S.C.-based less-than-truckload carrier added electronic logs for its line-haul operations. In all, SEFL has about 1,100 vehicles equipped with an electronic logs application from Innovative Software Engineering (ISE).
"We trust our people, but we also believe in verification," says Braxton Vick, senior vice president of corporate planning and development.
Before using electronic logs, SEFL was using satellite tracking data to calculate drivers' total run time and extrapolate their available hours. With electronic logs, the company now has exact information for more accurate load planning and forecasting tools.
Drivers also appreciate the ease and accuracy of electronic logs, Vick says. Before, drivers often would complete paper logbooks at the end of trips and forget to include some details, such as the location of each stop and the time spent there. The company had no visibility to these errors until a week later when it converted paper logs to a digital format for auditing. Drivers then would have to correct and resubmit logs – long after the fact.
One of the intangible safety benefits of using electronic logs is simplifying communications with drivers. With electronic logs, drivers' and fleet managers' responsibilities for HOS compliance are "black and white," says Raul Tamez, senior vice president of traffic for Alamo Cement, a San Antonio-based transporter of bulk products such as cement, sand and gravel.
The company, which hauls throughout Texas with a fleet of about 200 owner-operators, recently starting using Teletrac's Fleet Director system with the Hours of Service module. Before using electronic logs, Alamo Cement rarely had incidents where drivers would approach the end of their legal driving limit, Tamez says.
With the in-cab Teletrac system, drivers receive a warning 30 minutes before running out of hours, and fleet managers receive a 45-minute warning through the Web-based Fleet Director system. Instant visibility to driver hours and the advance warnings help ensure compliance and alleviate driver stress and fatigue.
The fatigue factor
Logbook violations are a serious matter in FMCSA's new safety measurement system, Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010. CSA 2010 will decouple the safety ratings of motor carriers from their last compliance review by using a new measurement system that updates carriers' safety ratings automatically on a monthly basis.
Based on the number of HOS-related violations recorded in 2009, by converting to electronic logs before CSA 2010 goes live in December, motor carriers have a rare opportunity to reduce their total violations by 50 percent.
In 2009, five of the top 10 most frequently cited violations were HOS-related, with "driver log form and manner" and "driver record of duty status not current" being the most frequent.
Under current regulations, carriers that have an HOS violation rate of 10 percent or more will be required to use electronic logs. In June 2012, the mandate will apply to carriers with a 5 percent violation rate.
The Teletrac system will help prevent HOS violations from impacting Alamo Cement's safety rating. "The Teletrac installation could not have come along at a more appropriate time," Tamez says. "Teletrac has already helped us in monitoring unsafe driving practices and hours of service," two of the seven (BASICs) that the CSA 2010 program incorporates.
Shaw Transport, the private fleet for carpet and flooring manufacturer Shaw Industries, has been using eDriver Logs from PeopleNet for about five years. With 1,400 drivers, driver fatigue and logbook violations are not even in the fleet's top 20 violations that will be included under CSA 2010, says Greg Wisenant, director of safety.
Real-time visibility
Today's electronic logging systems feature wireless connectivity between the vehicle and office. By utilizing the real-time Web-based interface, fleet managers not only have advance warning of violations, but also instant visibility to changes that occur in drivers' status.
"The whole idea of having electronic logs is to take advantage of having information in a real-time or near real-time environment," says Rob Pallante, director of business development for Xata, one of the first companies to offer an electronic logging system. In terms of fatigue management, having real-time visibility into a driver's duty cycle helps fleet managers avoid sending a message or otherwise interrupting the driver during off-duty rest periods.
Many companies strictly enforce such rules so that drivers aren't disturbed during this time. "The last thing you want to do is wake up a driver," Pallante says. Within the Web-based Xatanet application, fleet managers have the ability to see precisely when a driver changes his status from on-duty to off-duty.
Such technology also eliminates driver input from the equation. "We feel it is important in an electronic logging system to have automated driver status changes based on the movement of the vehicle," says Drew Hamilton, executive vice president of Teletrac. With the Teletrac system, once a driver logs in and goes "on duty," all other status changes are automated.
Jeff McGinney, safety director for Jetco Delivery, a Houston-based carrier with 100 trucks, says the company's drivers are operating safer by using PeopleNet's eDriver Logs. In the past, drivers were spending too much time trying to perform "creative logging."
"Now drivers just log in and let it go," McGinney says. Electronic logs help drivers focus on their surroundings and, as a result, drive safer. Based on internal studies, electronic logs save Jetco drivers 20 minutes a day, not to mention the time drivers would spend thinking and worrying about inspections, violations and out-of-service orders.
As part of using PeopleNet's eDriver Logs application, drivers also can access current HOS status – such as their violations and available hours – by using the online Driver Center application on a PC or mobile device outside the cab.
Fleets also can have instant visibility into drivers' duty status to help determine if fatigue is a contributing factor for unsafe behaviors. Companies that use Qualcomm's Critical Event Reporting (CER) and QHOS products get drivers' hours reported alongside critical safety events, such as a hard-braking incident or activation of a vehicle's roll stability system.
Having the driver's hours available instantly alongside an event can help fleet managers quickly assess if fatigue may have played a role in the event, says Chris Silver, senior product marketing manager for Qualcomm Enterprise Services.
Perhaps the biggest impact of electronic logs to fleet safety is to eliminate guesswork from HOS compliance. Inaccurate information not only can contribute to excessive driving and driver fatigue – and ultimately to accidents – but also can put your business at risk, as even petty logbook violations can accumulate to lower your safety score under the new CSA 2010 safety regime.
