Scenes filmed for The Muppets, but cut from the film before release.
|Walter's dream where the Muppets pop out of the television. Dialogue in the following scene is also different. When Walter wakes up from the nightmare, Gary is less concerned about his well-being. Also, Walter already knows that they're all going to Los Angeles together, rather than Gary revealing the third ticket as a surprise.
|Life's a Happy Song", after Mary's verse about her longing for Gary to propose, a similar verse with Walter occurs. Walter sits on a bench waiting for the bus and laments his feelings of not fitting in. The verse was cut from the film and the soundtrack.
|A scene was cut featuring Gary, Mary, and Walter visiting the Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The scene included a cameo by Rob Corddry as a Superman impersonator. The scene also features more subtle foreshadowing to Walter's whistling talent.
|While Walter is screaming back at the hotel, Mary suggests to Gary perhaps they should "go grab some lunch or something". This short scene can be seen in the "Scream" TV Spot.
|Kermit explains to Gary, Mary, and Walter how he stops by every once in a while to look after the Los Angeles house. This is partially seen in the B-Roll footage that was released online.
|An extended scene with the Muppets recruiting Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker to re-join the Muppets was filmed. Bunsen and Beaker are shown working at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, however the scene was edited and simply shown as part of the "Back in Black" montage.
click for animation
|An extended version of the fight sequence at Animal's anger management retreat was shown in the first trailer, including shots of Mary punching someone with satisfaction.
|After Piggy tackles Kermit in her Paris office, the novelization describes a flashback to a fight after their wedding in The Muppets Take Manhattan. Piggy wanted to share with the world that they got married, but Kermit was upset about being tricked into marriage. He fires her, prompting their separation, leading back to the scene with present day Piggy. Footage from the scene was reworked into the film's epilogue.
|Veronica also shows a glimpse of "Credit Card Club", a teen-drama shown on CDE. The show features Sarah Hyland and Sterling Knight. While the scene was cut from the final film, a poster for the program is seen in Veronica's office and the show can be seen on the CDE schedule.
| Gonzo practices his bowling ball act backstage by successfully knocking a pin off Gary's head. However according to Bunsen Honeydew, Gary was never in any actual danger, as the ball was a highly advanced, hyper-intellegent remote control contraption made by Muppet Labs. While demonstrating the device, the ball gains sentience and chases Beaker around the theater. Kermit disapproves of using the prop, saying the Muppets have always been about "artistic integrity, not cheap tricks."
Clips from the scene were shown in various trailers and TV spots. The end of the scene (in which Beaker is chased by the bowling ball) was reworked into the film's "We Built This City" cleaning montage, with the bowling ball replaced with a vacuum cleaner, and the shot of Beaker running away sped up.
The second part of the scene was included on the Blu-ray release.
|Kathy Griffin, Billy Crystal, and Ricky Gervais on the red carpet along with Scooter and the Newsman. Billy Crystal ends up arresting them for impersonating the Oscars.
| Walter has to rescue them. The scene features cameos by Wanda Sykes (as Officer Ethel) and Danny Trejo (as a prisoner). An excerpt of the scene was featured in The Fuzzy Pack trailer.
An early draft of the script intended this scene to feature Nicky Holiday, still in jail after all these years. Charles Grodin turned down the part.
|Let's Talk About Me". In the section, Tex sings about why he hates the Muppets so much - they ruined his 10th birthday party. The bridge did not appear in the final film, but was featured on the film's soundtrack (with vocals by Nathan Pacheco). The bridge (with vocals by Chris Cooper) appears as a bonus feature on the film's Blu-ray release under the title "Explaining Evil: The Full Tex Richman Song". The scene also includes an additional verse in which Tex talks about how he gold-plated his cat.
|Walter addresses the Muppets outside Tex Richman's office building.
|Camilla's performance of "Forget You" was filmed, including an introductory and concluding bit featuring a Whatnot farmer (performed by Bill Barretta). Portions of the extended scenes were featured in the "Forget You" music video released by Walt Disney Records. (YouTube) The extended version of the song appears as an "Easter egg" on the Blu-ray release of The Muppets.
|The Swedish Chef attempts to prepare a turkey. A brief clip from this scene was featured in a TV spot and the second trailer.
|CDE's show "Punch Teacher" appears as an "Easter egg" on the Blu-ray release of The Muppets.
|John Krasinski filmed a scene in which he and Sam the Eagle trade glances at the camera (referencing Krasinski's character on The Office).[1]

Larry Fields, of Abilene Mixed Martial Arts, Talks About World Championships on The Morning After
Larry Fields loves heavy metal. Not the style music, but literally the weight of all of the world championship belts and medals he has won in his career in martial arts.
Fields and Team Abilene just returned from the 2012 U.S. Open - ISKA World Championship in Orlando, Florida.
Like previous years, they came back with a bunch of world titles. 51 to be exact.

I want to know what is the smallest device that can work on a few milli amps? I know a NE-2 neon bulb works on less than 10 mAmp but on 90 volts at least.
I need to find a small device that: 1- Consumes electricity 2- works independently (just by hooking it to a battery) 3- Operates on a few volts 4- Operates on very few amps 5- Preferably a device that works by ionizing air (like a neon bulb), not a direct resistance.

Fifteen Frankless years have passed by. The efficient composing machine "whipped the floss" in 1993. His voluminous catalogue of music seemed frozen in time. Zappa fans could now only realize his pieces via listening devices, and live shows existed only in the imagination of the imaginer. However, Frankaphiles from all over Ohio got to participate in an evocation of the man, his music, and the madness that is Frank Zappa.
Zappa Plays Zappa, or the Tour de Frank, is proof that the Zappa pedigree is alive, well, and productive. The band is led by Frank's eldest son Dweezil, an accomplished guitarist in his own right. The players are all young talents who exist in relative obscurity, but who prove their mettle by mastery of Zappa's difficult and precisely composed material. And to add veteran authenticity, former FZ bandmate Ray White participates with guest musician status.
Early in the performance came Brown Shoes Don't Make It. The mini-quasi-rock-opera sounded note for note identical to the original 1967 recording, yet with a polished musicianship that the early Mothers of Invention would be jealous of. This trend continued into the darkness of night, preparing the audience for the next step of Zappafication. The low budget light show behind the band faded, and vintage images of Frank himself began to glow on the screen. But it wasn't as if they were just pumping out old footage. Portions of songs were interlaced with Franks vocals, and his guitar solos. Given Dweezil's dedication to purely recreating Frank's sound, it was often difficult to discern which Zappa was performing at any given time.
The band's skill provided a seamless transition between archived sounds, and the true live experience. Ray White's screaming soulful vocals on Illinois Enema Bandit precipitated a feeling among the audience that this was indeed an authentic Frank Zappa show. Song after song the band managed to both reproduce, and revitalize all things Frank. After a lengthy encore, the audience was left in a state euphoria only Zappa could produce, as if we were all local teenagers hanging out at Joe's Garage...

Contracting but not dilating?
I have been having mild contractions for the last 4 days, they are regular and do not stop when I change position or walk. Are these still braxton hicks or what?

There are many techniques to speed up the dilation process as told by my doctor. It includes but not limited to walking, eating some spicy foods, having regular excercices, nipple stimulation, sex (without a condom) etc. You can try any of these after taking ur doc advice.posted 05/14/2009 by Ananam
I will be 37 weeks tomorrow, have been contracting consistently ever 2 to 5 mins but I'm only dilated 1 cm. The doctor said i am having real contractions and he was going to induce me but decided not to because of the risk of my not being able to dilate still and end up having a c Section...anyone know how i can help myself dilate??posted 02/12/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

WASHINGTON — Three days before the rockets fell in Damascus, a team of Syrian specialists gathered in the northern suburb of Adra for a task that U.S. officials say had become routine in the third year of the country's civil conflict: filling warheads with deadly chemicals to kill rebels.
The preparations, as described by U.S. intelligence analysts, continued from Aug. 18 until just after midnight Aug. 21, when the projectiles were loaded into launchers. At 2:30 a.m., a half-dozen densely populated neighborhoods were jolted awake by explosions, followed by an oozing blanket of suffocating gas.
Unknown to Syrian officials, U.S. spy agencies recorded each step in the alleged attack, from the extensive preparations to the launching of rockets to the after-action assessments by Syrian officials.
Those records and intercepts are the core of the Obama administration's evidentiary case linking the Syrian government to what one official called an "indiscriminate, unspeakable horror" — the use of outlawed toxins to kill 1,429 civilians, including at least 426 children.
The administration released on Friday its long-awaited intelligence assessment of the Aug. 21 event, explaining in detail the basis for its claim that Syria was behind the release of the gas, the grisly effects of which have been documented in more than 100 amateur videos.
In addition to the dead, the assessment reported that about 3,600 patients "displaying symptoms consistent with nerve agent exposure" were seen at Damascus-area hospitals after the attack.
The four-page assessment and accompanying map revealed for the first time how communications intercepts and satellite imagery picked up key decisions and actions on the ground.
White House officials anticipated the likely comparisons to the famously inaccurate intelligence reports from a decade ago that claimed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was actively pursuing nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
Secretary of State John Kerry, in his remarks on the release of the assessment, said White House officials were "more than mindful of the Iraq experience."
"We will not repeat that moment," Kerry said. "Accordingly, we have taken unprecedented steps to declassify and make facts available to people who can judge for themselves."
The document proposes a possible motive for the attack — a desperate effort to push back rebels from several areas in the capital's densely packed eastern suburbs — and also suggests that the high civilian death toll surprised and panicked senior Syrian officials, who called off the attack and then tried to cover it up.
"We intercepted communications involving a senior official intimately familiar with the offensive," it says, "who confirmed that chemical weapons were used by the regime on Aug. 21 and was concerned with the U.N. inspectors obtaining evidence."
While unusually detailed, the assessment did not include photographs, recordings or other hard evidence to support its claims. Nor did it offer proof to back up the administration's assertion that top-ranking Syrian officials, possibly including President Bashar Assad, were complicit in the attack.
President Barack Obama, who met Friday with his national security aides, said he is weighing "limited and narrow" action in Syria.
With France as his only major public ally, Obama said he has a preference for multilateral action. He added, "Frankly, part of the challenge we end up with here is a lot of people think something should be done but nobody wants to do it."
U.N. personnel dispatched to Syria carried out a fourth and final day of inspection Friday as they sought to determine precisely what happened in the attack. The international contingent arranged to depart Saturday.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The acquisition gives Stratasys a leading consumer 3D printing platform, and gives MakerBot the deep pockets it needs to grow and compete.
The co-founder of the 3D printer company steps down to take on a new leadership role at its parent company, Stratasys.
The desktop 3D printer maker, a Stratasys subsidiary, is taking over assets of a German partner to form MakerBot Europe.
The capabilities of the Stratasys Objet500 Connex3 3D printer have been demonstrated to gorgeous effect by designer and engineer Michaella Janse van Vuuren.
Two of the bigger 3D-printing manufacturers plan to merge into a single entity with a strong position against competitors big and small.
Stratasys' Objet500 Connex3 3D printer is capable of creating products in one print job that are rigid, flexible, and come in hundreds of colors.
This story originally reported that financial terms of the merger between Stratasys and MakerBot were not announced. The companies said it was a stock-for-stock transaction worth about $403 million.
Wired reports 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys has nullified a lease agreement with Defense Distributed.
Hewlett-Packard will begin selling Stratasys' 3D printers for design markets later this year under its own brand name.
As one of the earliest pioneers in the field, Stratasys has now teamed up with HP to manufacture the first relatively affordable 3D printer.

First, emotions provoked by the fragrance as these two perfumes have been carefully developed in the image of the Aura man.
Paradox for Men is part of the tradition of simplicity and refined elegance, of those geometric and essential forms which, from the start, have given Jacomo its avant-garde edge and made it one of the most modern of today's brands.

Wow. What can we say... this portable DVD player rocks!
This Panasonic PalmTheater™ portable DVD player is doing to DVD what the
Sony Walkman did for audio cassettes and the Sony CD Walkman did for CDs.
It's that revolutionary! This is Panasonic's third generation portable DVD
player, and Panasonic's product line experience in the portable DVD player
market is demonstrated in this impressive product. (Panasonic's first
generation model featured a smaller 5" LCD display.) This lightweight
portable player has a handsome, silver case that opens like a laptop
computer. Open the DVD compartment by pressing on the "Push Open"
button at the left bottom corner of the base and the disc lid pops up. Press
the disc (DVD-Video, Video CD, or audio CD) into the spindle until it
engages into the hub clips, close the lid, and press the "Play"
button and the unit turns on automatically and starts playing the movie. As
soon as the image appears on the built-in 7-inch color LCD screen, you can't
help but be amazed with the detailed, sharp, bright and colorful image. It's
simply stunning!
Video Features & Performance - How
good is the picture?
Picture Quality. Watching DVD movies on this
portable player is a visual treat. The picture quality of the
high-resolution 7-inch (diagonally measured) 16:9 aspect ratio LCD screen is
absolutely top notch. The picture is particularly detailed and sharp with anamorphic
widescreen, "enhanced for widescreen TVs", DVD titles. With
letterboxed (non-anamorphic) widescreen DVDs, you can zoom the image to fill
the LCD's 16:9 aspect screen, but you start to see pixelation effects. This
may seem like a limitation of the non-anamorphic widescreen DVD, but is probably
a shortcoming of the Panasonic's video processing for its built-in LCD
display. When video is output to a TV, there are no pixelation problems. To
accommodate DVD software coming in various aspect ratios, the player allows
you to choose various screen modes: native modes for 4:3 and 16:9, as well
as 16:9 "stretched", and 16:9 zoom.
A Note for Users: Be sure to set the "TV
aspect" (using the "Action" button on the remote control and
selecting menu item #5, "TV aspect") to "16:9" aspect
ratio to get optimal video performance from anamorphically enhanced DVDs
(i.e., those DVDs labeled as "enhanced for widescreen TVs"). If
you output the picture to a conventional 4:3 TV, be sure to set the "TV
aspect" to "4:3". Just remember to set it back to
"16:9" when you use the 7" LCD display again.
LCD Screen. The LCD screen is very bright, and
can be viewed comfortably even under the brightest sunlight conditions. The
screen brightness can be adjusted for comfortable viewing under darker
conditions. Color is saturated and also adjustable.
A feature we found particularly useful is that the
built-in LCD screen can serve as a display for an external video/audio feed.
For example, we connected our camcorder (Sony Digital8 camcorder model
DCR-TRV103) to the DVD player and watched the Digital8 videotape playback on
the 7-inch LCD screen. The image was equally astonishing as that from DVD,
since the source is digital video. Our videos looked great on the
Panasonic's widescreen LCD, since we chose to shoot our video in 16:9
anamorphic widescreen format.
Finally, as another testament of quality, we did not
notice any dead pixels on the LCD screen.
Slow Motion, Fast Scan, and Frame-by-Frame Advance. This
player features a full set of scan, search, and slow motion special effects.
It features forward and reverse fast scan search, forward and reverse slow
motion, forward and reverse frame-by-frame advance, chapter preview (plays
the first four seconds of each chapter), and pause.
Audio Features & Performance - How
good does it sound?
The audio features were also astonishing. This model
features built-in decoders for Dolby Digital and DTS,
with full 5.1-channel adjustments (e.g., speaker type, loudness, and delay
time). If you don't have a 5.1-channel surround sound system, the Advanced
Virtual Surround Sound (AVSS) feature will simulate a surround sound
environment with just two speakers. Sure, nothing really compares with a
true surround sound system, but Panasonic's virtual surround sound is about
as good as any simulated surround sound system we've heard to date.
This model comes with a pair of built-in stereo speakers,
located just below the screen and pointing towards the viewer for improved
sound propagation. For more private listening, there is a mini-headphone
jack. (Two mini-jacks would be better for sharing the DVD experience.) There
is even a Headphone Virtual Surround Sound (VSS) feature for a more
expansive simulated surround sound environment while listening with
headphones. (This feature significantly improves the ambiance of the sound
field, as we particularly like the AVSS setting on "1".)
Since this model plays audio CDs, we gave them a listen
and were very pleased with the CD playback quality. The sound is balanced
and bass extension is deep (with high quality headphones). This portable DVD
player performs double duty as a "CD Walkman", and is a welcomed
relief if you're tired of watching DVD-Videos and just want to chill with
your favorite music CDs. The owner's manual states that CD-Rs cannot be
played back in this model.
Complementing its full array of audio features is a
complete set of audio output (see the Summary of
Features below).
Ease of Use - Is it easy to set-up & use
This unit comes with a credit-card style slim remote
control. Almost all features can be accessed from the remote control.
Controls related to the LCD display (e.g., aspect ratio, brightness, and
color settings) are only available on the unit. Most controls are accessible
directly from the unit either directly using the buttons, or through the
menu bar activated by the "Display" button.
A Note for Users: Cursor control is achieved on
the unit by sliding a circular disc (Panasonic calls it the "cursor
jockey") forward/aft and side-to-side. To skip forward/backward to
other chapters, there are dedicated buttons. However, to perform a forward
or reverse scan search, press and hold the dedicated forward/backward
chapter skip buttons until the desired scan speed is reached. Press
"play" to resume normal playback. To advance the video
frame-by-frame, press pause, then slide the cursor jockey side-to-side to
advance the frame forward or reverse.
To configure the DVD player, the "Action" menu
is used to configure: the desired audio track, subtitle, menu language,
parental lock, color and position of the on-screen display menu bar, TV
screen aspect, digital audio output settings (e.g., PCM down conversion,
Dolby Digital and dts bitstream vs. PCM), speaker settings for multi-channel
(speaker type, delay, and relative loudness) or 2-channel, still mode, audio
during search on/off, digital range compression, and still mode and still
picture display. Most of the "Action" menu is only accessible from
the remote control. Generally, navigation of the menu and changing settings
are simple and straightforward, thanks to the clear and user-friendly
on-screen menu icons.
This model offers program and random play modes, where you
can program the player to play specific chapters in any order or randomly.
Additionally, you can set the player to repeatedly play between any two
points you designate. Resume play is a nice feature to have, particularly
when you are frequently interrupted. Whether you power down the player or
not, playback resumes where you left off when you select "Play"
again. You can also use the marker feature to temporarily bookmark five of
your favorite scenes. Temporary because these markers are only good until
the player is turned off or if the disc lid is opened.
As a full-featured DVD player, this model easily performs
double duty as your primary DVD player in your home or home theater.
Battery Life
Obviously the mass appeal behind portable DVD players is
that you can take it with you anywhere. So you would naturally ask, how long does
the standard Lithium Ion battery (same battery technology as in
state-of-the-art laptop computers) lasts between charges? Certainly this
depends on how you use the unit. For example, whether you use headphones vs.
the built-in speakers, what volume it is set at, and how bright the screen is.
In one test, with headphones set to a typical listening level ("6"
on the volume dial), and brightness set to "0" (from a scale of
"-5" for dimmest to "+5" for brightest), we got an
astonishing 4 hours and 50 minutes. That's right, nearly five 5 hours of
continuous playing time!
If that's not enough, you can always purchase an optional
second battery. Just be aware that you can only charge the battery while the
unit is turned off, battery attached, and the A/C cord plugged in. There is
no separate charging cradle for a second battery. It takes about 4 hours to
completely charge a battery. So if you have a second battery, you would have
to swap the second battery (say in the middle of the night) if you wanted to
fully charge two batteries for the next day. We think nearly 5 hours of
battery life should be adequate for most users. Finally, the Lithium Ion
battery can be re-charged for about 300 cycles, according to Panasonic.
DVD On The Go
OK, so battery life is great, even with only one battery.
But you're wondering, how well does this unit take to travel? While we
did not subject our unit to any formal drop tests, from our experience with
the occasional and inadvertent bumps of daily life, this unit seems rugged
enough to handle most common and expected bumps of any portable electronics
Obviously the best part of a portable DVD player is that
you can take it virtually anywhere. And we really mean anywhere.
Where you use it is only limited to your imagination. This portable model
makes long road trips and flights much shorter and much more enjoyable. Just
think, instead of hearing the kids ask "are we there yet?" every
15 minutes, they'll ask "we're here already?" at the final
destination. Amazing technology.
Competitive Models & Value - How does this model
Panasonic offers a more affordable model DVD-LV55
with a 5-inch LCD screen for about $900 (some $400 less), and another
portable model DVD-PV55
with no built-in screen for about $600.
Because of demand and popularity of these portable DVD
players, other manufacturers have recently plunged into this hot market.
Sony, Pioneer, and Sharp offer competitive portable DVD player models with
7-inch screens. The Sony
DVP-FX1 retails for about $1,500, while the Pioneer
PDV-LC10 is about $1,300. The Sharp model DV-L70U retails for about
$1,200. We'll have to evaluate these three competitive models soon, but we
suspect that this Panasonic model has set a pretty high standard for all
portable DVD players.
We absolutely love this portable DVD player. At $1,300,
the price is a little steep for our pocket books. But for those of you who
must have it or if money is no subject, this portable DVD player will
certainly make that statement and bring a smile to your face at the same
time. As a third generation product, the DVD-LV75 is a solid performer. It
would easily serve as your primary DVD player in your home theater (that is,
when you're at home).
Availability & Price - Where
can I buy this model & for how much?
A final suggestion: save yourself a
big chunk of change (about $300 and possibly sales tax) - consider ordering
this model from one of the on-line merchants below. With the savings you'd
realize, you can jump-start your DVD movie collection.

Hi ladies, I've had an eventful weekend here on the farm. Started with a ewe who presented her lamb head first but no legs visible so I had to go fishing and pull it. A very large (15.5 lb) black ram lamb who set a new weight record for us. He has a halo of white wool on the top of his head so I've called him Gabriel. This ewe is famous for multiple lambs so when she didn't present another I had to go looking. Found a pair of legs way far in so managed to grab them and pull. Turned out they were hind legs (semi breech) which explained why she wasn't contracting or feeling the need to push. This was another ram lamb but white this time and about half the size. He was out of the placenta and quite bloody which was quite unusual. He was too weak to nurse so I had to stomach tube him twice yesterday and keep him under a heat lamp in the barn with Mom and brother. This morning when I went down to check he was up on all 4 feet and nursing on his own - yippee!!
The we had a ewe who was not progressing with her labor and not dilating which meant we had to call in the vet. Ended up having to do a c-section to save Mom and try to save the baby. Unfortunately the baby was already dead and it's doubtful we'll ever be able to breed her again as she had suffered internal trauma. Of course it was one of my best ewe's, a colored Romney with a killer fleece. Hopefully we'll be able to prevent infection. Time will tell. She was up and eating and drinking the next morning so fingers crossed. It was 2am before I got to bed after this one.
Today we had a ewe deliver a white ram lamb and I'm glad to say both Mom and baby are doing fine!
Here's some pics for you:
Looking for the right stop to lamb. This
is a Coopworth ewe which is a cross between
a Romney and Border Leicestershire.
If you look closely you can see a black
head starting to emerge.
Not quite ready to stand
Up on his feet and looking for milk. The
brown sheep in the background is this ewe's lamb
from last year. She's quite curious! It'll be her
turn next Spring.
Lamb #2
Lambs born earlier in the week.
Mom wondering what the heck I'm doing!
Views: 380
Well I checked out the price of the Wooly Winder and it would be $250 delivered! Guess I'll just have to put up with an uneven bobbin!
I think your bobbins look pretty darn good! :o)
Oh, Julie, Jeffrey is SO, SO cute... not to mention how adorable the lambs are.
How sweet! And the lambs look so happy. Of course, if I got to be warm inside instead of out in the cold wet snow I'd probably look that happy, too. Congrats, Julie!
One little fellow has a touch of pnumonia and with our weather being so cold and wet I thought it best to bring her in the house. The other little lamb was rejected by her Mom so it's more convenient for me to have her in the house rather than run back and forth between home and the barn all day, especially in this weather.
How absolutely adorable! All of 'em. I'll bet that's interesting having the 'little ones' inside your home. That would be so much fun. Well, at least I think it would be fun - lol.
And Yuk! to the snow. It's pretty, no doubt, but way too late in the year for me.
Yes it is interesting having them in the house, for a week or two, then they get to be too much like sheep and climb on everything! I second the Yuk to the snow!!
How is the mom doing?
I assume you mean the cow Mom. She's doing very well now and just about back to normal thankfully. She sure had us scared!!
Well that is good news!
OMG, sheep diapers! How funny. Hope everyone stays warm.

The lost-wallet panic, having a credit card rejected unexpectedly or being the victim of a pickpocket can make you realize the value of credit cards or a driver's license in the hands of a thief. Such problems can destroy a credit rating, deplete savings and make it impossible to pay essential bills, yet millions of Americans voluntarily hand that precious information to strangers every day.
Identity theft is stealing money or getting other benefits by pretending to be another person. By next year the FBI and other governmental agencies estimate that one in 10 Americans will be targeted for identity theft, according to Wayne Ivey.
A 27-year law enforcement veteran who provides law enforcement officials with identity theft training, Ivey says no one is immune. He's the perfect example.
"A number of years ago I was working nothing but identity theft (cases) and I went into a little mom-andpop golf shop to buy a golf bag," he says. "I used a MasterCard debit card … for the purchase on a Friday. Monday I went to take some money out of the bank (and) there was no money."
The bank discovered numerous transactions over the weekend. Ivey hadn't used his card, but he had a good idea who could have. A return to the golf shop led to a confession from the clerk who handled the purchase; he was ultimately found to be responsible for almost $10,000 in credit card fraud using a host of credit cards.
"He was doing it the old-fashioned way, taking the carbon copy of my receipt and taking the credit card number off there," Ivey says. "It was a 19-year-old kid."
A new fangled method is called "skimming." An electronic skimmer captures the magnetic coding on the back of the credit card when it's swiped. Some skimmers can hold data from 100 or more credit cards that's then downloaded to a computer and can be put onto a cloned credit card ready for use or sold to the highest bidder.
"It happens in restaurants, hotels, travel agencies, rental car places … any place where you can lose sight of your credit card for a split-second it can happen," Ivey says. "Until you get your next credit card statement and very carefully review it, you're probably not going to know you've been the victim of a skimmed credit card."
But the problem doesn't stop there.
Companies are "breeched" every year, resulting in the theft of confidential employee and customer information. Earlier this year the state of Ohio's lax security and storage protocols allowed a laptop with the personal information of tens of thousands of state employees to be stolen from an intern who took the data offsite for safekeeping.
Personal information also is spread all over the place. The video store wants a driver's license number, social security number and credit card number in case you don't return your movies; they say the information is used to track you down so you can be reimbursed.
Where are those paper applications stored at the video shop? If they're locked up, who has a key that would allow access? What kind of safeguards are in place to prevent an unscrupulous employee from getting his hands on that information?
Now multiply those questions by every credit card application, employment application, payroll record, school registration, bank account, bureau of motor vehicles for every state you've called home and every other government agency, company and organization to whom you've given personal information. The lack of protection for that sensitive information can pose an irresistible temptation.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission study documenting fraud and identify theft states that Ohio reported 7,178 cases of identity theft in 2007. The most frequent types of theft were phone or utilities fraud, credit card fraud, bank fraud, government documents of benefits fraud, employment-related fraud and loan fraud.
Ivey, who now works for LifeLock, a company that offers identity theft protection services, says there's a wealth of information available about how to protect your identity.
"There's someone willing to sell your information for their own benefit," Ivey says. "That's what's driving this crime: the availability of information and the fact that technology opens up so many doors for it to be used by and accessed.
"There is a human being that processes your information. If they have the criminal intent to take your information and use it themselves or sell it to someone, you're vulnerable to it. The answer to this is education and awareness."

lightning bolt vs. Elemental Blast1 reply to this topic
Posted 22 November 2012 - 12:25 AM
Was just wondering. When I have maelstrom weapon proced, should i favor Elemental Blast or Lightning Bolt for it?
Posted 22 November 2012 - 08:47 AM
There's a discussion about this in the Enhancement Feedback thread. In short: You shouldn't be waiting till you have 5 stacks to cast Elemental Blast. Use EB on cooldown, and cast Lightning Bolt based on how many spare stacks you have.
Your raid has too many healers.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/Bilton Mabbitt
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
< Uncyclopedia:Pee Review
Revision as of 10:25, March 13, 2011 by GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk | contribs)
Milton Babbitt
Shabidoo reviewed the main page, this time I'd like reviews of the talk and the hidden rewrite that Milton doesn't care whether you read or not, too. Thank ya kindly! -- TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK 00:36, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll take this one! Sir Georgie • Harangue • Mediocracy 10:10, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
|The rewrite isn't as good as the original version but there are still some funny moments and the same goes for the talk page. I found the "wtf is this" guy to be quite amusing as he fails to understand the point of the article. For the rewrite, I would try to add a few more jokes and maybe some quotes to maintain the humour of the article. But overall, not bad.
|The talk page is...just a talk page with added humour and that's fine. The rewrite appears to be encyclopedic yet it is still pretty funny. While it is different to the normal version, it still comes out pretty well in the concept department.
|Prose and formatting:
|The spelling and grammar is steller, so no complaints there. All of the images suit their purpose for the article on both the rewrite and the talk page. Overall, no complaints for prose and formatting.
|Like I mentioned above, they suit their purpose pretty well for the article and even though you could add a bit more humour into the images, they are fine as they are.
|My overall grade of the article.
|Final Score:
|While the humour does need to be built on a little bit, the majority of the rewrite and the talk page are done pretty well and they are both looking very promising. It isn't a n00b-ish effort so you don't need to go back to the books here but I would just slightly build on the humour. Overall, a good article! Good luck with any improvements you may wish to make!
|Sir Georgie • Harangue • Mediocracy 10:25, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

The Leader of the Opposition, Bill Shorten, has proposed a series of reforms to the operation of the ALP.
In a speech to a Per Capita forum at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne, Shorten proposed giving party members more say in the preselection of lower and upper house candidates. He also proposed a system of direct election of National Conference delegates.
"We need to change ourselves," Shorten said. "We need to change our party. If we don't change, we are putting our very future at risk."
Shorten called for a "membership-based party" with 100,000 members and said that by July new members would be able to join online via a "one-click" procedure. He said he had asked National and State Secretaries of the party to establish "low cost, uniform national membership fees".
Shorten said "it should no longer be compulsory for prospective members of the Labor Party to join a union". This is a party rule more honoured in the breach than in the observance. Shorten conceded it was a "symbolic change". [Read more…]

Three people are now out of jail after being charged with child neglect when the three-year-old that was in the care wandered off.
Greenville police say 27-year-old Heather Danielson, 34-year- old Billy Danielson and 21-year-old Stephanie Straughn were all charged Friday after police received a call around 9:30 am Friday that a child was walking alone near Wachovia Bank on Greenville Boulevard.
Police say the child was dirty and had red paint on his legs and feet.
Moments after officers arrived the three who were responsible for the child at the time pulled up in a car and were later arrested.
The child walked roughly two blocks along Greenville Boulevard and possibly through a field before someone called the police.
There is no update on where the child is or the health of the child at this time.

Catholic leaders condemn Steve King's hateful rhetoric
Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a Catholic, revealed the ignorance and prejudice behind his anti-immigrant policy stances (again) last week, saying about DREAMers, "For every one who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there that — they weigh 130 pounds and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert."
After being rebuked by Democrats and House Republican leaders alike, King defended himself by claiming that his views were rooted in his experience traveling along the US-Mexico border. On Monday, Catholic leaders who serve immigrant populations in border communities and have expertise in immigration policy pointed out that King's views are as ill-informed as they are offensive.
Sister Rosemary Welsh, Executive Director of Casa de Misericordia in Laredo, TX, which provides shelter, legal assistance and other crucial services for immigrants, said
"These hateful remarks demean the immigrant families I work with every day and have no place in debates about the urgent need for smart and humane immigration reform. I invite Rep. King to spend time with us on the border, read the Gospels and reflect on his faith's teachings about the dignity of immigrants. Now is the time for constructive solutions not offensive rhetoric."
Father Sean Carroll of the Kino Border Initiative in Nogales, AZ, which provides humanitarian assistance and education in border communities, said
"Through my ministry on the U.S./Mexico border, I witness firsthand the courage and dignity of those who dream of a better life for their families. I urge Congressman King to remember Jesus' words that 'I was a stranger and you welcomed me' (Matthew 25:35), and to stop obstructing just and humane immigration reform."
Father Rafael Garcia, S.J., of Immaculate Conception Church in Albuquerque, NM, said
As a former pastor of a border parish in El Paso for 13 years, I find Rep. King's caricature narrow-minded at best. Hopefully he will apologize for his derisive comments — and better yet, have a change of heart.
Sister Simone Campbell, Executive Director of NETWORK, A Catholic Social Justice Lobby, which organized the Nuns on the Border tour earlier this summer that highlighted the work of Catholic Sisters in border cities from Texas to California, said
"Rep. King is simply out of touch with the reality of migrants' experiences and chooses to ridicule women, children and families trapped in a broken immigration system instead of joining with business, labor and faith leaders working for practical and moral solutions. His reckless and irresponsible approach is not in keeping with the values of our nation or our shared Catholic faith."
Rev. Thomas Greene, S.J, the Secretary for Social and International Ministries at the Jesuit Conference in Washington, DC, said
"At a time that when our nation needs elected officials to engage in reasoned, well-informed conversations about the urgency of immigration reform, Congressman King chose to inject inflammatory and ill-informed remarks into the debate. Such statements demean the millions of hard-working immigrants in the U.S. and are a mean-spirited attempt to derail long overdue comprehensive immigration reform."
In addition, the Sioux City Journal reports that the Catholic bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, which is in King's district, rebuked the Congressman Monday:
"I am disappointed by Rep. King's remarks, which speak of migrants in a way that undermines their human dignity and the respect owed them as children of God," Rev. R. Walker Nickless said in a statement. "While Catholics may disagree on the specific approach to reforming the immigration system, they should agree that the immigration debate should be conducted in a civil and humane manner."
It will take more than words alone for House Republicans to distance themselves from King's hateful rhetoric. If they want Americans to believe King doesn't speak for them, they need to pass reform that includes a roadmap to citizenship for the 11 million aspiring Americans who remain trapped in the shadows.

Playing on Our Fears
In 'War of the Worlds,' Steven Spielberg uses 9/11 to ramp up the horror factor--not to explore the human response to terror.
In his new version of "War of the Worlds," filmmaker Steven Spielberg uses the memory of September 11, 2001, to boost the movie's power as both an alien-invasion parable and an exercise in horror for its own nerve-jangling sake. "Paranoia is what happens when you're afraid that something is coming at you right around the corner, but it never materializes," he told the Los Angeles Times during production, adding, "Our story starts with paranoia, which is very quickly realized."
It sure is--and that terror gained new currency with last week's horrific bombings in London.
Spielberg's fascination with making paranoia come true is especially revealing for a filmmaker who once stood as the reigning optimist of sci-fi cinema, with movies like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T.-The Extra-Terrestrial" portraying outer space as a source of potential friends and benefactors. "9/11 set the tone," he said in that same L.A. Times interview, "and made it worth my time and the audience's time to see this. story treated in this way."
What bothers me more than the movie's paranoia is the xenophobia it revels in. This is common in science fiction, where all kind of slimy-clawed monsters have stood in for all kinds of enemies du jour, from communists to immigrants to you name it. In "War of the Worlds," fear and loathing of the Other is explicitly based on dread of an older, smarter culture that's eager to wipe out "real humans" as ruthlessly and callously as possible. Given the movie's 9/11 links, it's hard not to see Islamic militancy as the metaphoric foe.
Moviegoers are debating Spielberg's decision to start the horrors in a New York City suburb. Some find this a legitimate mood-setting device, while others see it as tactless exploitation. I think it's some of both, but Spielberg seems far more interested in roiling up scary shocks than exploring the structures of contemporary fear.
As someone who lived a minute's walk from the Twin Towers when they were annihilated, I don't think drawing on 9/11 is unscrupulous in itself. Little has changed in American culture since then, despite the vaguely defined "war on terror" it provoked, and there's a chance that mass-media treatments, including camouflaged ones like this, will renew the urge to ponder the cataclysm's causes and implications. The worrisome aspect of Spielberg's approach is the dread of outsiders it also stirs up, on visceral levels that Hollywood is all too skilled at reaching.

Well, now, this one's for a very select audience.
Pickling-for-profit just got easier in Wisconsin.
Thanks to a new state law, People who prepare and can pickles at home and sell them at farmers markets, bazaars and other community events in Wisconsin no longer need to have a license.
The new law applies to those who can pickles, jams, jellies and salsa and take in less than $5,000 a year from the sales.
When selling their goods, these pickle-packing entrepreneurs still must display a sign saying their canned goods are homemade and not subject to state inspection. And they need to label each jar with the name of the preparer, date of canning and the list of ingredients.
The new law even outs the playing field with Minnesota's homegrown picklers. If they take in less than $5,000 a year in gross receipts, they don't have to get a license, either. But the license break in Minnesota applies to more foods that are not considered potentially hazardous: cakes, cookies, fruit pies, breads, maple syrup and lefse.

text: 20 May, 2013 - The Egyptian Coptic community continues to face violence at the hands of Islamists, with two attacks on churches in a fortnight. Over 20 thousand Muslims attacked the church of St. Mary in Alexandria on Friday, setting fire to the entrance of the building and shattering windows. A man died of a heart attack in the attack. In response to the violence, hundreds of Copts left their homes to create a human wall around the building. A similar incident occurred on May 13, in the village of Menbal, Matay district, north of the province of Minya, where a Muslim mob stormed the church called the Tadros el-Mashreki and assaulted a person inside. The assailants threw stones at the building, looted Christian shops nearby and burned cars. The Coptic minority has been threatened with expulsion from the village. (Source: AsiaNews)

FAU coaching search now goes to Plan B
It's on to Plan B for FAU AD Craig Angelos, as Mike Leach used is right of first refusal and passed on FAU to take the Washington State gig.
And you can't blame him. More money, PAC 10 (12, for whatever it is now), much better chance of getting to a BCS bowl and competing for national title.
The only way FAU was going to get Leach, who had what amounted to a standing offer from Angelos, was if all the schools at the front of the line passed on him.
Plenty did, but ultimately not enough.
So now Angelos has a bit tougher task – he has to hire the next Mike Leach. A guy who will come in and get FAU winning again and be a guy that the big guys will want to hire away.
That is where FAU is at in the pecking order, and it is not a bad thing.
If ULL's Mark Hudspeth gets hired away after one season, do you think fans, who are going to a bowl game for the first time in like forever, are going to be upset that the AD didn't hire a guy who promised to stay for three years? The job suddenly looks pretty good, and there will be plenty of solid candidates thinking Lafayette could be a nice place to set up shop.
And Hugh Freeze has given Arkansas State fans something to cheer about for the first time in forever, and he may be gone after one year. Will the fans there now insist that the AD bring in someone who will stay at least three or four years, or find another Freeze?
No, you want a guy who wants to win yesterday and has that urgency that has been missing at FAU for the last couple years. A guy with ambition and brains who looks at FAU as a great opportunity to win in a hurry.
Given that Howard's last game is Saturday, and there is still a lot of shaking out that has to happen at programs above FAU, I don't expect to hear anything until Sunday at the earliest.
The last thing FAU wants is Howard's final post-game interview to be questions about what he feels about the new coach.
And remember, when you hear something, think 'false until proven true.'
As in, FAU had offered contracts to each of the Stoops brothers, or that Eddie Gran had an offer, along with Chuck Amato, or, well, you get the idea.
The only offer out there until today was the open-ended one to Mike Leach, which was the right move by Angelos.
Leach waited until a better deal came along, so it is on to Plan B.

RICHMOND, British Columbia, Feb. 28, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCurex Inc. (OTCBB:BOCX) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, OncoPet™ Diagnostics, Inc., has executed a definitive agreement for distribution of the OncoPet Sample Collection Kit for canine cancer diagnosis in the United States with Animal Health International, Inc., formerly known as Lextron, Inc. (including TW Medical), which acquired Walco International (including DVM Resources) in 2011. Animal Health International is a premier distributor of animal health products in the United States and Canada with broad coverage in both the companion and production animal markets through a series of close to 500 outside and inside sales personnel.
According to the terms of the agreement, Animal Health International will purchase OncoPet Sample Collection Kits from OncoPet Diagnostics for re-sale to veterinarians through an established network of 280 sales representatives and 180 telemarketing staff.
"It is extremely satisfying to see our OncoPet Sample Collection Kit so well received by the animal health industry," stated Dr. Paul Slowey, President of BioCurex. "Animal Health International is one of the top players in the animal health distribution industry with coverage in hard to reach areas, so with the addition of this distribution agreement, we believe OncoPet will be very well represented throughout the entire veterinary community."
About Animal Health International
Animal Health International, Inc. is a premier companion and production animal health distributor offering animal health products and supplies for cattle, equine, poultry, swine, cats and dogs. For more information, please visit www.animalhealthinternational.com.
About BioCurex, Inc.
BioCurex, Inc. is a biotechnology company that is developing products based on patented and proprietary technology in the area of cancer diagnostics. The technology identifies a universal cancer marker known as RECAF.
RECAF is a molecule that is present on cancer cells but not detected in significant levels on healthy cells or benign tumor cells. It is the receptor for alpha-fetoprotein and is classified as an oncofetal antigen due to its presence on both fetal and malignant tissues. This characteristic makes RECAF a more accurate indicator of cancer than most current tumor markers.
BioCurex is commercializing its technology through licensing arrangements with companies that develop and market diagnostic tests for the large automated clinical laboratory setting, through development and marketing of non-automated clinical laboratory tests, through development of rapid, point-of-care test formats, and through marketing of its OncoPet RECAF test for cancer in companion animals.
BioCurex has signed licensing agreements for its cancer detection blood tests with Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) and with Alere (NYSE:ALR), formerly Inverness Medical Innovations (NYSE:IMA).

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) - The Panthers have sent wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin for an MRI on his left knee after the first-round draft pick bumped knees with another player during practice Sunday.
Benjamin was not at Monday morning's practice at Wofford College.
Benjamin has been working with the starters and is having an outstanding camp. He has been catching everything in sight and trying to adapt to quarterback Cam Newton, who is coming off an ankle injury.
Benjamin was the 28th player drafted. He caught 54 passes for 1,011 yards and 15 touchdowns last year for Florida State, including the winning touchdown against Auburn in the national championship.
Coach Ron Rivera is expected to address Benjamin's injury after the morning practice.
