More and more I seem to be meeting people who have some or all of the symptoms mentioned above. Some are taking anti-depressants, while others have been hospitalized and taking many meds for a problem that is going on undiagnosed.
Don't believe me, then watch this video. It's about a patient who was diagnosed with a brain tumor after being rendered completely unable to function. You will be shocked.
So what are we talking about here?
Parasites. These nasty critters can lurk in the dark corners of your body and wreak havoc.
What worries me is that people think that they have to travel to a developing nation to get parasites, but the truth is very far from that. Parasites can be transmitted through improperly cooked food, kissing, unwashed hands with fecal matter that touch food, contaminated water and several other ways. Then there are parasites like H. pylori that are pathogenic to humans and have been known to infect up to 50% of the human population.
And in the case of ulcers, did you know that studies show parasites can be responsible for over 80% of all ulcers that lead to cancer? The culprit? A spiral-shaped bacteria called Heliocobacter pylori (H. pylori). This parasite is no joke. More recent studies have revealed that 90 to 100 percent of patients with duodenal (the first section of the small intestine) ulcers and 70% of those with gastric (stomach) ulcers are all infected with H. pylori. And H. Pylori parasites are able to thrive in very acidic environments so if your more acidic than alkaline then you're a playground for these parasite to live and play.
How is this possible? Well, the way this parasite works is quite fascinating to me. It kind of acts like the enemy of our souls. Making us numb to the things and people around us and then attacking us by penetrating to the core of our being. H. pylori produces an enzyme called urease that neutralizes stomach acid and allows it to thrive, even penetrating and damaging the protective barrier of the stomach lining. There it begins to weave its web and once there all kinds of health complications can occur.
But there is hope. Testing for this parasite and others can be done in your routine check up; you just need to ask your doctor, because parasite checks are usually not offered as part of a well visit, which in my opinion is very bad. This however was not the case when we lived abroad. All our well visits included a little container for poop, urine and a saliva swab.
So ask your doctor if you suspect you may have H. pylori or any of the parasites and or symptoms mentioned below.
Pinworms – may cause severe anal itching, insomnia and restlessness. These worms tend to migrate out through the anus at night to lay eggs.
Hookworms – may cause the soles of the feet to itch. Bloody spit from the mouth, fever, rash and loss of appetite are also possible.
Threadworms – may cause coughing, abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas and itchy red abrasions on the anus.
Tapeworms may cause weight loss, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
Ascarids – may cause bloating, stomach pain, vomiting and shortness of breath.
Microscopic Roundworms – may cause trichinosis leading to muscle damage and complications of the cardio and neuro systems.

Rolle just talks a lot of non-sense. Acting like dogs and hunting and w/e. It's all non-sense and I seriously doubt anyone takes what he says that serious. He's almost like Jacobs. No one pays these guys any real attention.
Rolle was actually, IMO, a big problem last year. Once he decided to play ball our defense seemed to take off. Kind of unrelated, but I think there are several starters on this defense who aren't a big fan of this scheme.

There should also be set and mandated recovery timelines based on the severity of the concussion. RG3 practically broke the world record for concussion recovery and put back practicing with the team in a couple of days last season.

My two backyard hives have SHB. I use traps but the problem persists, although minor. So I am thinking that perhaps I can augment the traps by using Diatomaceous Earth around the hive, but use slightly different approach than simply sprinkling it around. I am thinking of pulling up all the grass in two 4 foot circles and adding a 1/2 inch layer of the Diatomaceous Earth to each, and then covering each with 3 inches or so of mulch. Then put a hive in the center of each circle.
Are the circles wide enough?
Would this be effective or are there risks here I am not considering?
Thank you.

I told everybody at last month's department meeting that the future looked bright. Two weeks later I send them all an email about the budget cuts and layoffs. It saves me listening to a lot of bitching from that bunch of peons. My daddy taught me a long time ago to Speak softly, but carry a big @!

A friend of ours had this in his personal collection... granted, the focus was a little off, but check it out!
it's foam inside
Any info about it?
And the other part is blue. The Jango costume has a blue jumpsuit, made of neoprene, under his "seen" jumpsuit. So that's interesting.
Hmm.. I wonder how hot that would be though..
it has to be a little more comfortable than neoprene.
we couldn't really tell what kind of foam it was, other than it was foam and it was dark grey, about 1/8". Definitely not neoprene though.
You can see it on this pic, I have one pic where it is show clearly but I'm not allowed to post/show it, I'm sorry. If you have the pic posted with a better quality you will see it better, I just found it on google.
Yeah I see that, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's wearing a full neoprene undersuit, if that piece of blue is even neoprene. Anyway, it's not really important.
Sorry for the hijack of the thread :facepalm
with as much trouble as everyone has had finding this fabric, I'd say Trisha had it made special for the zam costume. But maybe they used odds and ends for foam padding under Jango's armor?
Did you get a chance to see how it wrinkled up? Did it wrinkle the same like at the elbows and knees? (Looks like headliner - used in cars - to me). Hmmm..... Very interesting.
no - we only happened to have a few seconds with it as we were on our way out. But we couldn't pass up the chance to touch it and take a couple of pics for you guys! He said he got it from one of Trisha's assistants.
I have to say, the color looks pretty close to ZamIAm's fabric. When you first posted the picture I thought it actually was the ZIA fabric.
i wish I had a swatch to compare, but I think Yvonne got the color exactly right
I think she did too. Even when comparing ZIA's fabric to the FIDM exhibit... I really think the lighting played havoc on the fabric (Meaning the lighting in the exhibit was WAAAY different from just standing outside the exhibit) and I believe the fabric faded over time as well. I know the leather parts did - just comparing them to how they appeared in stills and the film to how they were at the FIDM exhibit.
It explains all of the wrinkles in some of the promo shots. How odd, I wonder if they used two way or 4 way lycra. KimnCris- you get the I'm not worthy smiley... :D too bad they don't have the right smileys :love . You guys just made me cry tears of joy after so many years of hard work and group effort. You guys are truly the "original" zammers. If it wasn't for you at C2, we wouldn't have been inspired to even make our fabric/version. Go TEAM ZAM! Wohoo! Nudge nudge, DCB - you blipped all of the darn siggies! :lol Oh wait, that was already 2 1/2 - 3 years ago!
Nice find Cris, thanks for sharing!!!
I was able to get my hands on the swatch of leftover Zam neoprene this weekend and have permission to post photos. I came prepared - I brought a swatch of the Zam I Am neoprene to compare and I also brought my Pantone Guide for Fashion and Home.
Here is the comparison photo:
No Flash:
I would have to say that the Zam-I-Am fabric is quite a bit brighter than the true stuff. The real fabric has a LOT more gray mixed in to the dye. It's a lot drabber. A very gray-purple.
It was interesting, the underside is lined with the same kind of nylon that's on the top side but it was a very dark blue-violet. It almost made me wonder if they were unsure what color to go with and decided to have 2 different colors on either side of the neoprene?
I believe it was an open cell type neoprene, and it was just a fraction thicker than what Zam I Am ordered. It was also a dark grayish/black neoprene foam.
My pantone match was between "Black Plum" (which was a bit too dark) and "Flint" It really depended on how the light was reflecting off the neoprene though as to how dark or light it looked. Sometimes Flint looked right, sometimes not. It always remained in that grayish plum family.
I should have tugged on the fabric a bit more to see if it was 2 way or 4 way stretch. Oh well!
I wonder what kind of effect UV Light might have on the ZamIAm fabric (or what kind of effect it may have had on the real fabric).
I know Zam I Am did her best based on a pantone match that was made at an exhibit through glass. There could have been a bright spotlight on that and when bright light shines on things it makes them appear lighter than they are. At least with this I was able to hold the pantone guide right up to the fabric. Nothing in my guide was a 100% match but I think the Flint is what I'd shoot for (maybe a tad lighter) if I could dye my own fabric. Problem is getting it laminated to neoprene :(
Actually I was talking about prolonged exposure, as in fading. Thanks for the comparison pics though.
Just a quick note.. got my fabric delivered yesterday from the Stretch house so its still available at this time.
KayDee, I am a little confused, is the top left swatch the one you got from that store in Cali, or is it from your pantone book? And, is the "actual" (on the right) the same one that KimnCris had? and, if so, when you say neoprene, do you know if it was just thicker foam? I got the feeling from looking at the KnC shot that it was almost like headliner foam (like from a car) And, with your shot, there is no foam shot, so I didn't know if it was the same swatch. I inquire about this, only cause headliner foam - less dense, more thick, has a tendency to crease, and in some special shots that Zam is in, there are creases. If the neoprene relaxes which it does more easily than headliner, you usually don't have the creasing, Especially if it's hung on a mannequin. Just some tidbits on how density of foam and type of foam and thickness of foam's reaction on what you see in pictures. I know in dressing a galaxy they said "neoprene." But technically, there are tons of different types. Partial dissertation on neoprene here:) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene
Yep, ZIA neoprene is open cell. I figured they (Trisha Biggar) would've use something thicker for short time length movie shots and (and budget). But for practical at home sewing purposes and costuming (in all climates )purposes, I had the neoprene co. thin it down as much as possible on the off chance that people could sew it at home. Even though, technically, it would be better to sew it with an industrial. I didn't want people passing out, thus open cell. If it was closed cell, people would suffocate like vinyl does.
Flash and angle sure does make a difference.
http://photos.imageevent.com/kay_dee...e/IMG_4829.jpg Kaydee pic with flash
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/...3bc22aed_b.jpg KnC pic with flash
http://photos.imageevent.com/kay_dee...e/IMG_4830.jpg Kaydee pic no flash
http://www.501neg.com/photos/albums/...zamfabric2.jpg Stretchhouse pic comparison (no flash) from another thread.
Take into consider movie filters screen shots, photoshopped promo pics, vd pics, etc.
Look at Kaydee's pic next to knc's how hard is that to discern?! :eek! ZIA fabric (her 1st and 2nd pic flash and no flash- bottom left swatch) looks closer to Knc's shot imo. What do you think? The sheen is the biggest problem. Short of taking the swatch from the actual source swatch to a professional dying company to match the pantone, we're never gonna get it 100%. That's what I had hoped long time ago to get when the huge "dressing a galaxy" when all the swatches came out. Mine book didn't come with a zam swatch unfortunatly. Boy, was I scouring.
Visual dictionary or Dressing a galaxy called it dark lilac I think. But Kaydee's top left swatch is pretty darn close without the flash, but Kaydee's pic with the flash top left swatch, almost looks too pink imho.
I just wanted to play devil's advocate, and also help people reconcile the feelings of the need for accuracy and what people will ultimately wear. Accuracy of color according to which photo, screen shot, lighting etc. is what we can all plainly state, that it matches one or some of the xyz shots. Obviously, unless we had the real swatch to take to the manufacturer, we can't be 100% and there are "closer colors." I am glad that the ZIA fabric is one of the "closer" ones and the fabric is has a sheen to enable lighting variances :) I do also see the need for a drabbier gray.
Top left swatch - lycra from a California store. It was too reddish/pinkish. I just brought it in case.
The actual on the right is the same one Kim and Cris looked at. It was from Steve Sansweet's collection. Kim and Cris just didn't have your fabric in hand for comparison and by 'memory' thought yours seemed right from what I understand. I tried to take a 'foam' shot and all came out blurry. The color of the foam was dark charcoal/blackish. It was light weight so seemed to be open cell. I can't say if it was like headliner board foam. I have lots of that but just can't tell you for certain if that is what it was. I just have a memory that it seemed more like a neoprene, not headliner foam... but I didn't analyze it that hard. I'd think headliner foam wouldn't make a very nice suit and trisha's team would know to use something better :(
Your neoprene thickness is just about dead on. Yours was only a very minute fraction narrower. Yours was thinner by literally the thickness of a hair (or a piece of fabric), I swear! So you made the right call on the thickness you chose for sure!
My blurry side by side 'foam' shot. Sorry, my camera didn't want to focus. I tried twice and gave up.
Your fabric is still the closest we have. Regardless of how the color looks in kimncris' shot and photos in a book, my picture showing yours right next to the real thing shows the variance. Yes, I think your fabric has a bit more sheen. But even w/o flash and with the naked eye I have to say for the sake of research (not to bash your fabric at all!) the real fabric is darker and grayer in color. A dash more red undertone to it too (which is probably why my top swatch looks OK in no flash shots, but no flash shots are not a good clear representation of color due to.... lack of light!)
Yep... I still say we did good! (Meaning mostly ZIA :D ) That color is just so HARD to get - it really does depend on the lighting and the angle you're looking at it from! Adding film/digital camera colors on top of monitor colors to the mix - well, we're lucky we're even talking the same language here! :D
And honestly, I think the the bodysuit we saw at FIDM had faded (especially after reading about what happened to MonCal!) - so I think the color we were comparing it to then was different than the original color.
I really think when making this costume, you need to pick a color that is similar and that looks good to you and simply base the rest of the colors of the costume off of that. This costume isn't for sissies! :lol

.let's not forget we won the SEC last year with the 7th ranked team in the league hitting.
Play of the Game: Mason Katz went the other way on a 3-2 pitch to drive home Raph Rhymes with an RBI double to break a 1-1 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 6th innings. It was the first extra base hit on the young season for Katz.
Winning Pitcher: Hunter Devall
Save: Chris Cotton
Cody Glenn: Wow he looked sharp tonight. I don't want to get too over excited after one start, but he looked great. The opponent isn't relevant. His stuff looked great. He showed the ability to pound his fastball in on hitters and had the ability to get a lot of swings and misses with this pitch. He seemed to be going inside a lot more on the left handed hitters. I would have liked to have seen some more inside fastballs to right handers, but being able to pitch inside consistenly shows a lot. He showed the ability to consistenly get his breaking ball over for strikes when he was behind, ahead, or even in the count. If he can develop his changeup in his next few starts and continues to consistently throw strikes the way he did tonight, I would look for him to seriously contend for Sunday starts later down the stretch in the SEC.
Cotton: Solid as always. He looks like he is really settling into the closer role. Not everyone has the makeup to be a closer and not everyone has the makeup to be a starter. He has proven early in the season he can close as he is 2/2 in the save department. I wouldn't change that to put him in an unfamiliar starting role.
The pitching staff is showing why LSU is widely considered Omaha bound this season as there is plenty of depth on this staff, even with a couple of early season injuries.
Jacoby Jones: Very nice swing on the homerun tonight. This dude is going to break out. I would look for him to move up to the 4 hole at some point this season. It wouldn't surprise me if Rhymes got bumped up to the 2 hole with his ability to handle the bat and Jones took his spot in the 4 hole. He is going to produce a lot of runs this season.
Very nice to see Katz battle in the sixth inning and knock an outside fastball over the right fielder's head. That is exactly what the veterans are supposed to. Break through in a critical moment late in the game. This at-bat will be forgotten or overlooked by many as LSU went on to win by 7, but this was the turning point in this game.
Sciambra reached base 3 more times and scored a run. I think he is really going to thrive in the leadoff role, and for the first time in what seems like forever, LSU has a legit leadoff man.
Overall, glad to see LSU get a W. The starting pitching continues to DOMINATE for LSU as starting pitching has now allowed a total of 1 earned run in 22 innings this season to go along with 23 strikeouts and only 5 walks.
He hasn't done the greatest thus far, but it is 4 games. It is tough to take that speed and defensive ability out of the everyday lineup. I still see him moving down in the lineup and maybe sitting in the 8 or 9 hole and acting like a second leadoff man down there to spark things.
It is going to be Nola. It just doesn't make any sense to do it any other way. Bonvillain and Glenn are both out of the question as far as Thursday goes. They would have to go with about 6-7 pitchers to get through the game and it makes absolutely no sense to burn through that much of your bullpen in the first game of a three game series.
The Huskies have two starters who showed well in summer leagues and are draft prospects.
Good. I like hearing this. I think facing quality pitchers even one week before SEC play is extremely beneficial for practice leading up to the first week of play.
Washington has made strides in three years under coach Lindsay Meggs, winning 13 league games to finish in seventh place in 2012—its highest finish since 2008. The Huskies welcome back four seniors in the everyday lineup and a pair of sophomores who looks poised to emerge as stars in powerful 1B Trevor Mitsui (.308/.372/.376) and gap machine 2B Robert Pehl (.293/.344/.389). Both players are coming off standout summers in the Cape Cod League, where Jr. RHP Austin Voth (7-1, 4.14) has also flashed plenty of talent in the last two summers, bumping 93 with his fastball and missing bats with his slider. Voth could team with Jr. RHP Nick Palewicz (1-2, 5.34) to form a quality one-two punch atop the rotation; Palewicz showed a heavy 91-94 mph fastball and a good 82-84 slider as a starter last summer in the Cal Collegiate League, where he ranked as the No. 5 prospect. Another summer league star, Jr. RHP Tyler Kane (7-2, 2.19), will be counted on to anchor the bullpen after racking up 14 saves in the West Coast League.
.let's not forget we won the SEC last year with the 7th ranked team in the league hitting.
Fourth, not seventh.
What about Stevenson.. any chance he can break into the lineup?
I still would like to see Rhymes in the top 3 of the lineup.
We've covered this before.
We ranked bottom half in hitting while looking at SEC games only.
I'm not sure why you insist on making statements that are so easily proven wrong
What is your agenda for doing that?
I bet if the centerfielder doesn't make that play on Laird and he went 1-3 last night with an rbi walk no one wants him benched today.

Happy Friday all! I did some shimmery snow leopard nails recently that I thought you might enjoy. These started out with a base of Zoya Carey and I painted over that with Zoya Sparkle Gloss. Then, I painted the spots and outlines on with plain white and black polishes. I don't know if I like these anymore than the stamped versions I do, but it was cool to hand paint them!

Hello All,
I'm a home health Nurse. My wife is a personal injury Attorney. After reading about Apitherapy I was very interested in developing a client base on my days off to go out to peoples homes to help them. I talked with my wife about this, pumped with excitement to be honest. I hate to rain on anybodies parade but she has done everything she can to talk me out of it. She doesnt want me to go anywhere near the idea. She says there is a number of ways an attorney can come after you. "What if I just deliver the bees" I said, her reply is that "you are facilitating" and they still can come after you. I'm posting this information because I am trying to help......... I am toying with different ways I can still see patients and be legally protected, I will report back my findings. Maybe through insurance. But, make sure it has legal representation as part of the coverage.
One other problem.....In medicine, controlled dosages is very important. One of the 5 "rights" in nursing is right dosage. There isnt any way to regulate the amount of venom being delivered.

Hey guys, looking great and relaxed (even for a Souths supporter) Rig looks good and I'm very jealous. No mention of any fish caught, any luck????
How's the back, hope all is well.
Day 6 - Port Douglas
Loading Map
The drive along the winding coastal road between Cairns and Port Douglas is really picturesque. Traffic wasn't too bad and we checked in to the van park with enough time in hand to walk down to the markets (about 1.2 km walk).
Quite a good range of items for sale at the markets. Bit like the Eumundi markets but not as big. There were the usual range of interesting looking stall holders (old guys with the hair up in buns and that sort of thing) - they all looked quite content.
Greg bought a T Shirt - the logo says "Life in the Slow Lane - Port Douglas" - what a tourist hey
Jan had a bake in the arvo while Greg tried (unsuccessfully to fix the leg on the van) - that's the third one to break.
In the evening we headed back to town on foot. Watched the end of the footy at the Central Hotel then wandered down to the Courthouse Hotel where they had a band playing (a very well matured one at that) - played some good music - the rendition of 'Bop bop bopping the Blues' had the crowd singing along.
The noise from the Starlings that had come in to roost in the trees in the main street was something to behold.
We spoke to a fisherman who grew up on an island just off the coast where his parents were the lighthouse keepers. He catches live live coral trout for export ($40 / kg).
Had a nice fattening ice cream on the way home. A really enjoyable night.

After an early morning opening ceremony (at right with presenter Brian Lux of Pikes Peak) welcoming the U14 participants (after heavy rains cancelled the event last night) teams hit the field for morning games.
Sweltering humidity accompanied the first day of games but teams were flying with energy.
On the boys side, the U13 Select boys started off slow but exploded for three goals in five minutes early in the second half to beat Georgia Rush. Iowa and Washington played a very competitive match with Iowa scoring last for the 2-1 victory. Lastly, the host Virginia boys were unfriendly hosts to the Colorado boys winning 5-1.
On the girls side, the Alaska Rush struggled with the humidity and the Virginia girls as the hosts won 5-0. The Rush Select girls got all they could handle out of a stingy team from Washington Rush. After going up 2-0, Washington scored off a set piece and had several other quality chances to equalize but the game ultimately finished 2-1 to Select.
Monday, teams are on the fields for games in the morning, classroom/position specific training in the afternoon and hit the beach for sand soccer in the evening.

Agreement reached in Sullivan County lawsuit
BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - A nine-month legal battle between two Sullivan County officials comes to end, at least for now.
Last August, Sullivan County Sheriff Wayne Anderson filed a $9.9 million dollar lawsuit against the county for funding. Click here to read more about that story.
Wednesday morning, a settlement was reached. The terms were agreed upon Monday night between Sheriff Wayne Anderson and Sullivan County Mayor Steve Godsey. Later on that same day, Judge James Beckner agreed to those terms.
But we found out this may be a temporary 'band-aid' of sorts to a much larger funding issue, and the resolution may not be any real long-term resolution at all.
In a matter of minutes, a lawsuit costing taxpayers $60,000 is put to rest; Sullivan County Sheriff Wayne Anderson and Sullivan County Mayor Steve Godsey have come to a two-pronged settlement agreement.
We learned that includes a two percent pay raise for all sheriff's employees, which will cost about $40,000 for the rest of the fiscal year and about $160,000 dollars for next year. "I didn't want to go into this lawsuit in the first place. I really didn't, but I felt like that I had a duty to the citizens of Sullivan County to protect them the best I know how," said Sheriff Anderson.
"It's a signal that we're going to have to sit down and really focus on trying to find ways that we can save money and do the best we can with what we have," said Mayor Godsey.
That signal may be needed -- we found out the financial frustrations are far from over.
This settlement did not include funding for new officers, something the sheriff still believes is needed.
We got a copy of Sheriff Anderson's budget request for next fiscal year and found out it's about $8 million dollars more than last year's budget, and it includes 30 new patrol officers, 30 new cars, and 32 new jail employees. "I'm willing to work with the county commission, and I'm wiling to sit down and talk with them," said Sheriff Anderson.
Back in February, Mayor Steve Godsey asked all county departments to slash their budgets by five percent, meaning these requests may not come easily. "It's a tough time right now. The economy is really flat. I mean there's jut not a real influx of additional revenue coming in, so hopefully everyone will realize that and work to the best of their abilities and work with the budgets that we're able to supply," said Mayor Godsey.
The sheriff also told us he is planning to amend his budget request for next year and add on another 18 percent in salary increases to help their pay competitive and keep deputies working in the county.
If commissioners won't approve the compromise there's the possibility it could end up back in the courtroom.

As his 40th birthday looms, Boston Globe writer Geoff Edgers is on a mission to reunite the Kinks — a band who spat out a string of hits ("You Really Got Me," "Lola") and endured for decades, only to collapse from the sibling rivalry between founders Ray and Dave Davies. Given that these guys are hardly speaking to each other, this self-indulgent exercise seems doomed from the outset — and Edgers isn't exactly easy to root for.
Here, Narcissus meets Sisyphus, and the results, as documented by director Robert Patton-Spruill, often feel like the cinematic equivalent of chewing on tinfoil. You're exasperated by Edgers as he tries to suck various music legends into the black hole of his obsession.
But in that ego event horizon, marvelous things occasionally happen — his off-the-cuff jam session with Sting is electrifying. And whether Edgers delights or horrifies you, you'll likely spend the film muttering, "I can't believe he's doing this."

Well said! A couple of trite but true things come to mind: "you can't judge a book by its cover" and "no harm, no foul". I went to high school with a young man who always wore camo and an odd sort of utility belt. He went on to serve for many years with the Marines. I hope Chris gets the chance to make amends, and get on with the business of learning. This appears to be a misstep on the path of learning and growing. Who can say they have not made a bad choice along the way?

Is there a law prohibiting anyone from wearing fatigues or a gas mask? I see plenty of persons wearing fatigues downtown. We assume they are servicemen and women. I see many service men and women in fatigues dropping their kids off at our elementary schools. Do we call the police on them? So it must be the gas mask, separate from the fatigues. So is there a law outlawing the wearing of gas masks? Was there a violation of the school dress code? If so that would be the closest thing to a violation here. But does that deserve jail time or a conviction?
Clearly the kid has no sense of appropriateness. But is there a law against that? I'm concerned more about the mental status of his parents and their lack of supervision of their student.

In these days of regular mass murder incidents on school campuses around the country, incidents like this are terrorism, not pranks. If this young man cannot appreciate the difference, some prison time will teach him. (Portion removed.)

The person who made this comment obviously has no clue as to what actually happened, generally advisable to know what you are talking about before opening one's mouth:

I agree that the comment about prison time teaching a lesson is inappropriate and naive. I wonder if the commentor who said it can honestly and truthfully say he/she has never had a lapse of judgement, made a joke that offended people or been insensitive. I agree with Anthony Moor, that "we can't let our collective emotions about an unimaginable tragedy, sparked by an ongoing national disgrace, trample fairness and reason." It is better to teach young people to learn from their mistakes than block their paths to successful futures where they can become contributors to society.

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) assists communities in meeting their environmental responsibilities and goals through environmental projects. In order to accomplish these projects, IDEM works in cooperation with other agencies to provide funding in the form of grants and loans.
The following grants and loans are available for local governments and other eligible entities who wish to tackle environmental problems within their community:
These grants are for water quality management planning to determine the nature, extent and causes of point and non-point source pollution problems, as well as develop plans to resolve these problems.
These grants are for projects that reduce documented non-point source water quality impairments. Funds may be available to develop and implement Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and watershed management plans, provide technical assistance, demonstrate new technology, conduct assessments, and provide education and outreach.
The SRF Loan Programs provide low interest loans to eligible entities for the planning, design, construction, renovation, improvement or expansion of wastewater and drinking water systems. SRF Program Loans or other financial assistance is available for improvements to wastewater and drinking water plants, sewer line and water line extensions projects. Funds are also available for the costs associated with non-point source water pollution abatement projects, such as wetland restoration/protection, erosion control measures, storm water projects that improve water quality practices, and wellhead and source protection measures.
The Recycling Market Development Program has a limited amount of funding available each year for private businesses to invest in equipment purchases to expand or create new recycling enterprises. Please visit our Recycling Market Development Program page for complete information.
The Indiana Finance Authority (IFA) administers state and federal funding with environmental technical support from IDEM staff as part of the Indiana Brownfields Program. Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or underused properties where environmental contamination, either real or potential, hampers expansion and redevelopment. The IFA offers financial assistance as an incentive to address environmental issues associated with brownfields, such as site assessment and remediation, in order to facilitate brownfield redevelopment.
For information about financial assistance through the Indiana Brownfields Program, please contact:
The CFF is a grant program administered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) and is funded with federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars. These grants support a variety of projects that either benefit low-to-moderate income persons or eliminate slum/blight in communities. Eligible projects typically include infrastructure improvement (water, sewer, and storm drainage), fire protection, downtown revitalization, community centers, day care centers, senior centers, historic preservation, and infrastructure in support of housing.
The focus of this program is to provide funding (on a reimbursement basis) for the construction of facilities that will enhance boating for non-trailerable (26 feet or over in length), transient recreational boats. Funding can be used for such projects as slips for transient boaters, mooring buoys, navigational aids to direct safe entry to facilities, and initial dredging to provide transient vessels with safe channel depths.
Funding is very competitive and IDEM recommends early contact if expecting to apply for Tier 2 funding. A 25% matching contribution is required. Federal funds may not be used for matching.
The goal of the CVA is to reduce overboard sewage discharge from recreational boats. In accordance with the legislative goal, this grant program provides funding (on a reimbursement basis) for the construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance of pump-out stations, floating restrooms, holding tanks, and dump stations.

Ada Merritt Merits Recognition as a School of Choice with a World View
Voices echo throughout the corridors, as teachers and students begin the school day. In one classroom the teacher chimes: "Manhã boa a você, meus estudantes." While in the classroom next door the teacher says: "BuenosdíasBuenosdías mañana, mis estudiantes. Porfavor, abran sus libros ahora." It is not uncommon to hear such greetings at Ada Merritt K-8 Center, which offers second language programs in Portuguese and Spanish in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Although instruction is delivered using multiple languages and the perspective is international, the community of teachers and students ultimately speaks with one voice: through the language of learning and high achievement.
Ada Merritt, one of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS), serves 519 students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade with a population that consists of 48 percent Hispanic, 28 percent White, 15 percent African American, 9 percent multiracial, and 1 percent Asian students. Formerly Ada Merritt Elementary, the school recently has adopted a new name as a K-8 Center. Starting in the next academic year, the school will add one grade level per year until it adds fifth through eighth grade classes.
Nearly 30 percent of the students at Ada Merritt are English language learners. As a result of this dynamic, the school offers its students the opportunity to pursue their education through a dual language, international program in either English/Portuguese or English/Spanish. This language immersion program is based on the idea that students who understand concepts in one language, such as Portuguese or Spanish, can transfer that knowledge to another language, such as spoken and written English.
Every student, therefore, participates in instruction in English for 60 percent of the school day and instruction in either Spanish or Portuguese for the remaining 40 percent of the day. English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) techniques are used, and the target language (Portuguese or Spanish) is approached as the student's second language.
Students in the first through the fourth grade who are pursuing proficiency in English and Spanish may enter the Spanish section of the International Studies Program (ISP). The Miami-Dade ISP is offered to any student who attends or is eligible to attend school in Miami-Dade County and emphasizes the study of French, German, or Spanish. Students in this program increase their language mastery as they study literature, mathematics, history, and geography in their language of choice. Instructors from France, Germany, and Spain often teach ISP students, according to a cooperative agreement between MDCPS and the governments of these countries.
Ada Merritt's specific ISP offering is a challenging collaboration between MDCPS and the Ministry of Education and Science of Spain. Ada Merritt students can explore social science and science objectives that are part of Spain's educational curriculum, as well as those in Florida's academic standards. Students use grade-level appropriate textbooks, mainly from Spain, to examine social studies and natural science topics. These students must take an additional hour of daily instruction in Spanish after school. To be eligible for the program, parents must show interest and teachers must give students formal recommendations. While they are enrolled, students must commit to maintain above-average academic achievement, conduct, and attendance. Typically, students who participate in the international program enroll in honors level and Advanced Placement (AP) courses in English, science, social sciences, and the arts when they reach high school.
To support the dual language and international focus, Ada Merritt uses the rigorous International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). Currently, Ada Merritt is seeking authorization from IBO to become an official bilingual Primary Years Programme School.
At the center of the PYP model is a commitment to structured inquiry as the vehicle for learning. Six themes with guiding questions drive instruction in the core PYP subjects: language; social studies; mathematics; science and technology; the arts; and personal, social, and physical education. Students are guided by the following themes as they work with their teachers to design curricular units: 1) Who are we? 2) Where are we in place and time? 3) How do we express ourselves? 4) How does the world work? 5) How do we organize ourselves? and 6) How do we share the planet?
Ada Merritt is part of a larger school choice initiative from MDCPS called "I Choose! " which was developed to identify, evaluate, and replicate successful choice programs in geographically smaller areas and expand transportation services to families. While families may currently apply to a broad number of choice programs in the district, challenges such as large geographic distances between schools have sometimes deterred families from using the choice program. I Choose! has been instituted to give parents a more manageable range of choices and to ensure that neighborhood children do not need to be bused miles across the district to attend the schools they choose.
The main feature of the I Choose! initiative is the idea of smaller "Choice Zones" into which the 2,000 square-mile span of the school district has been divided. Currently, there are eight Choice Zones, each with nine to 16 elementary schools, six to 12 middle schools, and four high schools. All of the schools represent a wide selection of themed programs in a concentrated geographic area where parents can choose the best learning environment for their child. Parents also have the option of choosing outside of their Choice Zone. District staff and a transportation director have designed Choice Zones that maximize transportation efficiency.
Ada Merritt is included in the I Choose! program as the first "commuter" school in the district, designed for the convenience of parents in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties who work in downtown Miami. To accommodate these parents' work schedules, the school is open from 6:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. every weekday. One of the mottos at Ada Merritt is "Staying after school is a good thing." The district's Office of Adult/Vocational, Alternative, and Community Education coordinates the school's before and after school programs. During these programs, trained staff members lead children in physical education activities, music, arts and crafts, and structured homework assistance.
The school also offers parents an up-to-date website that contains links to the after school program, Parent Teacher Association (PTA), educational games for children, and teachers' contact information, which includes email addresses and homework assignments posted online. In an effort to ensure that parents are aware of resources that are available to them, the school links to outside websites such as Homework Helper, sponsored by Time for Kids, a division of Time magazine, and TekMom. These sites help parents to become familiar with using the Internet and assisting their children with various assignments.
The school's focus on language and international studies, the rigorous academic curriculum, and support for families have resulted in high levels of performance on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), the state exam used to test students' knowledge and skills in the third through the tenth grade. During the 2004-2005 school year, 95 percent of third graders at Ada Merritt scored at or above the proficiency level on the reading portion of the exam, while 65 percent of students in the state scored at that level. On the math section, 98 percent of Ada Merritt students scored at or above the proficiency level, while 68 percent of students in the state scored that well. This year, the school has met 100 percent of the state's requirements for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Ada Merritt is supported by a grant to Miami-Dade County Schools under the Voluntary Public School Choice Program managed by OII.

What's New
From the White House
First Lady Laura Bush, Washington, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, Prince Charles, and the Duchess of Cornwall visited the SEED charter school. Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall planted an English oak tree, and they observed an eighth grade English class and an eleventh grade U.S. history class. Although there are many boarding schools in Great Britain, the SEED School in Southeast Washington, DC, is the only public boarding school in the U.S. (Nov. 2)
From the U.S. Department of Education
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings spoke at the opening of the Southern Methodist University (SMU) School of Education and Human Development. The Secretary pointed out that American schools will need 2.2 million teachers over the next 10 years. SMU's new school will bring research together with teacher training; researchers will develop practical tools teachers can take into their classrooms, and then teachers can bring the needs of local schools back to the university. High quality teacher preparation is important as teachers "face an ever-flattening world where students will need better math and science skills to keep up with global competitors." (Nov. 2)
From the Office of Innovation and Improvement
American Institutes for Research (AIR) has released a report, Transition to Teaching Grant Program: 2002 Cohort Case Studies, PDF (345KB), about the implementation of the OII-funded Transition to Teaching program at eight sites across the country. The report describes the programs, evaluates them based on the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) indicators, and identifies benefits and challenges to the programs. (Oct. 19)
Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) has partnered with Coca-Cola North America to award 20 organizations across the country with a 2005 Ingenuity Grant, as part of the "Reading Takes You Places" partnership. The Ingenuity Grants, established in 2001, are competitive grants available to RIF multi-state programs for use in developing and implementing literacy programs. This year, 10 organizations received Student-to-Student Reading Program Grants to create reading partnerships and role modeling opportunities between younger and older children. The remaining 10 organizations received Volunteer Support Grants to help generate best practices for recruiting, retaining, and recognizing RIF volunteers. (Oct. 26)
In celebration of RIF's 40th anniversary, 40 children's book illustrators have created a collection of pictures and essays in a book called The Art of Reading. The book may be purchased wherever books are sold, and a portion of the profits benefit RIF. (Oct. 2005)
Teacher Quality and Development
Texas Governor Rick Perry has proposed a teacher merit-pay program that would provide $10 million in federal discretionary funds for $100,000 grants to 100 schools that show marked improvement in the performance of disadvantaged students. Seventy-five percent of the funds will go directly to the teachers the schools determine have had an impact on this student performance. (Nov. 2)
The Education Commission of the States (ECS) has released Eight Questions on Teacher Recruitment and Retention: What Does the Research Say? This report reviews research on teacher recruitment and retention with the aim of helping policymakers gain a better understanding of the nature of the teacher workforce and recruitment/retention policies that are promising. This is the second in a series of reports on teacher quality for policymakers. The first report focused on teacher preparation, with a companion piece called A Policymaker's Guide on Education Research: How to Understand, Evaluate, and Use It
Innovations in the News
Charter Schools
According to analysis from The Buffalo News, charter schools in Buffalo (NY) are outperforming traditional Buffalo public schools on all four state assessments. Forty-nine percent of charter school students scored proficient in fourth grade English last year, compared with 39 percent of students in the school district. Charter schools outperformed the district in fourth grade math (76 to 67 percent), in eighth grade English (28 to 26 percent), and in eighth grade math (35 to 24 percent). [More-Science Daily] (Oct. 30)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) graduate students will study the nonprofit, business, and academic components of charter schools. Additionally, the students will help Indiana's 29 charter schools with fundraising, transportation, and other issues. The state's charter school enrollment has more than tripled to 4,300 students since the first charter schools opened three years ago. [More-The Indianapolis Star] (Nov. 1)
Raising Student Achievement
North Glen Elementary School (MD) has successfully closed the achievement gap between African American and White students. Third grade African American students improved their proficiency level on state tests from 32 percent in 2003 to 94 percent in 2005, placing North Glen among the top schools in the state for African American students' performance. The school's rise to success began three years ago with new teachers and a new principal who launched before and after school programs and doubled the number of staff assigned to provide extra help to low-performing students during the day. [More-The Washington Post] (Oct. 31) (free registration)
More high school students are getting a head start on their college education. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), about one high school student in 20 is taking college courses nationwide. There are also 1.2 million students who take Advanced Placement (AP) exams across the country. In Ohio, 10,000 high school students are able to enroll in college classes free of charge through the state's Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program. Student participation has tripled in 10 years. [More-The Enquirer] (Nov. 1)
Foreign Language Study
Ministers in England are publishing funding plans and guidance for teachers with the aim of making foreign language lessons available to students ages seven through 11 by the year 2010. This foreign language plan is slated to extend to all primary schools in England. Currently, at Griffydam Primary School in Coalville, Leicestershire, French lessons are taught at every grade level. Isabella Moore, Director of CILT National Language Centre, notes, "Research on the use of languages in business contexts shows that the earlier languages are learned, the more confidence people have in using them." [More-BBC News] (Oct. 26)
To prepare more students for a continuously changing world market, the Philadelphia School District is expanding classes in Mandarin Chinese (the most prevalent language in the world) to more schools. Currently, upwards of 1,700 students are taking Chinese at six district high schools and three elementary schools, up from 900 students last year. Paul Vallas, the district's chief executive officer, now wants to double that number. Vallas also plans to open a new high school in Chinatown that would require four years of study in Chinese with a dual-language program that would enable Chinese-speaking students to improve their English and English-speaking students to improve their Mandarin. Next year, the College Board will begin to offer an Advanced Placement (AP) course in Chinese. [More-The Philadelphia Inquirer] (Oct. 31) (free registration)
Supplemental Educational Services (SES)
U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings has waived a ban that once prevented New York City from offering free tutoring, or supplemental educational services (SES), to its students. No Child Left Behind requires schools to provide SES to their students if they fail to meet federal standards in reading and math for two consecutive years. The law also prevents a school district whose students have not achieved adequate yearly progress (AYP) in both math and reading from providing tutoring to its students. To provide tutoring, New York City has agreed to participate in a rigorous evaluation of its tutoring services by the U.S. Department of Education. The results will be used in future policy determinations to assess the efficacy of SES. [More-Newsday] (Nov. 7)
Boston Public Schools has been granted a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education that allows the district to continue tutoring struggling students, although it has not yet met targets for academic achievement. In order to receive extra flexibility, the district has agreed to an annual federal review and has pledged to tutor more students, provide better information about how the tutoring affects students' performance, and ensure that private providers have access to the schools. [More-The Boston Globe] (Nov. 4)
Teacher Quality
Eighty percent of Alabama public school teachers are classified as "highly qualified" to teach core subjects such as English, mathematics, science, and history, according to state education officials. Two years ago, only about one-third of teachers in core subjects were deemed highly qualified. According to the federal No Child Left Behind Act, by the end of this academic year all teachers of core subjects must be highly qualified. This qualification means that teachers must have specific college-level training in the subject areas they teach or they must have passed a test demonstrating their knowledge.

Why does everyone hate my dog?? :( (moved to stories)
This thread is really just me venting....
I'm getting tired of people around me don't like my dog. My friend and her boy friend just got a puppy corgi. I visited them and he said by the way thank you if I didn't see your Lincoln I would probably get a big dog. He kept making comment like oh you can't take him anywhere with you because he's too big for me to travel with. My other friend with two collie mix made comment at puppy party at my house that she never want a German shepherd because gsd are devious. She poor water in Lincoln's bowl for her dog. Lincoln run over to check it out. Then she said Lincoln is food aggressive. She said Lincoln doesn't play nice with other dog but didn't say anything ant her dog constantly showing teeth when Lincoln get close to them.
Lincoln is one year old gsd. He is still hyper and his obedience is not top notch. But he doesn't hurt anybody. He never show teeth to any other dogs or human. He just wants to play. Yeah he's not the cutest dog like collie. He may not be very cuddly. He's heavy big strong dog so he hurts you when he jump on your lap unlike the corgi. But he is a good dog.
It's bad enough never get good reaction from people on the street. Parent pull their kids away when they walk pass us at the park. Vet nurse doesn't go crazy when they see him like they were when he was a puppy. Some Other dogs in class wouldn't pair up with him to do activities. Let me say it again that Lincoln has never hurt any of the people mention above. They are people that only see him at the party or puppy play date so they only see him as a hyper dog with power and teeth.
There is only one friend that I believe she likes Lincoln. Not only acting like they do and behind my back tell ppl my dog is a monster. This friend has a lab. So she understand most of what I'm going through. Except that her dog looks friendly so stranger doesn't run away from him as fast as they would from mine
Again, I'm just venting. I just came back from visiting the puppy corgi and kinda depressed. :(
I'm sorry but I wouldn't be friends with anyone that dislikes my dog... But thats just me.
Hope things get better for you :)

It's ok, they're just jealous. Not everyone can handle the awesome responsibility of having a GSD. ;)
a gsd can do everything a corgi can but a corgi cant do everything a gsd can. throw a frisbee for your dog to catch mid air and then turn to the corgi and say your turn! then throw a ball in the lake and when your dog brings it back turn and say your turn! now if your gsd cant do basic "big dog" things like that then i guess you'll have to accept all the jabs towards your dog. btw pretty dog!
no matter what kind of dog you have, nothing shuts up people quicker than a well trained dog.

Step up your training and that will show them.
Your dog is still young and energetic. When he is older and very well-trained, you will get people saying things like "wow, is he a service dog?" And random compliments from strangers on the street. Just enjoy your dog and keep training. :)

What jerks! Just don't get involve with those people making your life miserable. It is so easy to be dog sensitive, your not alone with similar situations like that. A family member thinks my dog is aggressive and went to extreme that my Riley would've killed her German shepherd. This was a few years back it is ridiculous even to this day. Dogs need to have fun too they love it. It's sad when people out there don't let their dogs have fun at all. People are silly dogs needs, fun, etc.
I think all my neighbors thought my GSD was aggressive. I didn't mind mostly, they just didn't know her.
I've also had people say "wow I thought all GSDs were aggressive!" when they met her and she was friendly. The staff at my vet also said they didn't think she was friendly, when I asked them to give her some pets/treats so that she would associate the vet with good things they said they didn't know she was ok with people until I told them she loved getting attention.
My next door neighbor asked what happened after my dog passed away... I told her it was cancer, and she said maybe that made her aggressive. I said no, she was very friendly and loved people. She just did not like when someone came on our property without permission, and I think she thought my neighbor was always trespassing because their walkway is right up next to our house. I did try to introduce them properly, but my neighbor didn't cooperate.
I think these type of people are just jealous, because we have a 'proper' dog!!!! unlike theirs.

[quote user="titwio"]Right now the more I watch Andre Ellington of Clemson the more I want to see him Blue. 5'10 190 with excellent speed and big play potential...
2012 is a deep RB class and with the concerns over Jacobs remaining in NY and Bradshaw injuries....I could see the Giants making this move. I actually like him better than Lamar Miller and he could be had later too.[/quote]I really like Ellington too but a couple things to consider:
1. Not in the giants to rake the small backs
2. If he us projected later round you might se him return for his senior year

A goatee. This attempt at style is the modern-day equivalent of the "business in front, party in back" mentality of the never-popular mullet. Bears some resemblance to the almost detachable appearance of the mullet and always worn by a douchebag convinced that he runs with the kool kids.
"I thought she was hot, then I saw her out with that dude from marketing with the face mullet. Hot no more yo."
by David Mattai September 12, 2007
A goatee. This pattern of facial hair, out of style since the US Civil War, has made a strong comeback in the early 21st century, replacing the venerable mullet haircut as a favored form of self expression (second only to tattoos) amoung those who wear "wife-beater" T-shirts and watch cars with numbers on them go around in circles. Thus, it has been dubbed "The Mullet of the 21st Century."

With a nickname that was elevated from "Gold Coast" to "Platinum Coast," it's safe to say that Saint James is a certain type of paradise that beckons the jet-set glitterati. Sun-splashed and fashionable, this beachfront city sits as a luxurious enclave on the pristine west coast of Barbados—a place where golden beaches are dotted with glitzy boutiques and sun-dappled dining features scenic views of famous mansions and floating yachts. But as luxe as this stretch of azure coast can be, it is upscale without the uppity. An amalgam of Old World history (the first British settlers landed here in 1625) and a rich and colorful Barbadian culture, this slice of paradise offers an high-end bling that sparkles with a warm and welcoming vibe.

Word used to describe a fart that barely has enough oomph to push your ass cheeks apart to escape, and ends up being short and faint, but has just enough audibility to pop twice. Hence it is a two-pop fart, or a "Two-popper".

"If it's gonna snow and the wind's gonna blow, we gotta run the ball, and we need tight ends who can block." ... As you likely know, there are some questions (from scouts) about Fleener's blocking ability. He's much more of a receiver than a blocker. In fact, some scouts see him as more of a WR than a TE.

ADG Vibe: 2011 Initiatives
The purpose of ADG Vibe is ultimately one thing: greater interconnectivity with the community that supports aquatics. As the Vibe has grown and become more and more integrated since it's inception in August 2010, we've continually sought out new means and methods on how we can improve the Vibe's mission. As a result - we've got two new initiatives that are geared towards growing the aquarium hobby's interconnectivity.
The first started in late 2010 - The ADG Vibe: Spotlight. We know that many hobbyists out there do excellent aquascaping work and many of those go to great lengths to share their work with the rest of us so we may enjoy the results of their labor. Our first featured Spotlight was on Khoa Pham - a Houston local, and second was on George Farmer from the U.K.
How do you get recognized? It's simple! Just share with us a video of your aquarium layout and we'll periodically choose layouts to share on the Vibe with everyone - because we'd like to reward aquascapers, anyone who we choose to be in the Vibe Spotlight will also receive a free package of ADA goods (such as fish foods, some fertilizers, etc depending on the type of layout they have, be it hardscape, planted, reef, etc), just as a little extra bonus on us!
The second is a new initiative for 2011 - we know that a great many hobbyists and other small businesses either run blogs or are supported through facebook in some way or another, and that effort to grow the hobby should be embraced along and united so that we may all continue to expand the aquarium hobby.
So, in tone with the spirit of interconnectivity, we'd like to share our subscriber base with other aquarium related blogs and organizations supported/hosted on Facebook. So if you run a blog or small business and would like to connect with us - just send us a link to your blog and upon review we'll add it to our favorite pages section to try to share some of our traffic with you! Hardscape, general aquaria, planted, reef, marine? All aspects of the aquarium hobby are candidates!

A recording artist, usually a rapper, who constantly sings/raps about how many women they sleep with, when in real life they are either happily married or gay.
Funny listening to all those rappers from the 90s still rapping about bitches. Most of them are just studio pimps now.

When I was phished?
I would like to share with you a phishing experience I had to face recently.
For those who need an introduction on Phishing:
Phishing and Identity Theft
In computing, phishing is a form of criminal activity using social engineering techniques. Phishers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an electronic communication. Phishing is typically carried out using email or an instant message, although phone contact has been used as well.
Phishing techniques
Most methods of phishing use some form of technical deception designed to make a link in an email appear to belong to the spoofed organization. Misspelled URLs or the use of subdomains are common tricks used by phishers.
Recently I received an instant message (yahoo) from one of my friend who is not very good with the technical aspects of Internet. He is just a common internet user. The message recieved :
Click this link and login ur yahoo id, u will get a wonderful gift enjoy. pls send this message to all ur buddies
As a normal enthusiastic user, we all have the tendency to open the link. When a user clicks on the above link, it opens a page as displayed below:
If you look closely at the displayed page, it looks very similar to yahoo login page. However, it is not a yahoo page. The cracker (lets not call him a hacker, as hacking is never un-ethical) has smartly created a web page which looks very similar to the login page of yahoo. When an novice user fills in the page with his username and password, and click the Sign In button, on the back ground, the entered user credentials (username and password) is sent to some database / email ID. My Friend entered his username and password unknowingly and .....So I decided to find the culprit.
Lets Find The Culprit
Using Tamper Data (an add-on for mozilla firefox), I captured the informations sent through this web page. See the below screen shot:
If you look at the above image very closely, you can easily understand the following facts (refer the red lines):
* When the user clicks the Sign In button, the page is re-directed to http://www2.fiberbit.net/form/mailto.cgi
* The page (or the script) is programmed in such a way that a mail will be sent to email@example.com. (refer the field "Mail_To")
* The mail will appear to come as if from SpArKz (refer the field "Mail_From")
* Once the mail is send, the page will be automatically redirected to http://photos.yahoo.com. (refer the field "Next_Page")
So we have found the cracker here. The person's email ID is firstname.lastname@example.com.
A step further.
Using the same tool mentioned above, the data send from a web page can be altered. So what I have done is, I changed the "Mail_To" value from firstname.lastname@example.com (internally the email id email@example.com is represented as love.cynade%40gmail.com) to email@example.com (my email ID). And hurray, i got the details delivered in my mail box. See the below screen shot:
It displayed the full information about the user who visited the site which includes:
* The ISP of the User - in my case it is Asianet.co.in.
* The IP address of the user - in my case it is 202.**.227.*** (not displayed due to various security reasons)
* These information can be further used to get into your personal system.
Tracing Down the Cracker
To trace the location of the hacker who was using the email ID firstname.lastname@example.com, I created a temperory email ID, registered a temperory account with ReadNotify.com and shooted some mails to email@example.com. And hooray, when he opened the mails I got the IP address of him and thats it.
I wrote to Yahoo also regarding the same and they immediately removed the site from Geocities and replied back. And withing weeks yahoo changed their login screen also. The cracker was able to get into many compromised accounts and from there to many accounts like banks, e-commerce sites etc using this simple techniques.
The Above quoted URL is currently not available as it is removed by Yahoo. But there are still thousands of phishing sites available that may exploit the human factor of the internet technology.
Do you have any similar experiences - share it here - what ways the hacker approached you? ......

Trying to keep up with IPM methods for varroa: rather than freeze drone brood, which requires additonal frames to swap out each time you visit the freezer- can't you just use an uncapping scratcher on site to kill the drone brood and lower varroa counts?
would the varroa be mature enough to hop off the drone pupae, at capped brood stage, onto the workers? (if so its back to the freezer)

Lindsay Lohan's current legal woes have inspired the folks at Hustler to pay tribute to L. Lo's legal saga by offering a hastily put-together X-rated porno film … which we get a sneak peek of today. Here are a few promo photos from the new XXX film titled Hustler's Untrue Hollywood Stories: Lindsay Goes to Jail (link possibly NSFW) and some deets about the film itself:
Lindsay Lohan's been in jail one day and she's already getting taken advantage of … in a very X-rated manner. Lindsay is the target of a new porn parody featuring a crying, bitchy, whorish LiLo look-alike — who just like the real Lindsay … takes some serious punishment from the long arm of the law. The flick — titled "Hustler's Untrue Hollywood Stories: Lindsay Goes to Jail" — even features a spoof of Lindsay's lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley. We're not sure if Lindsay's seen it yet — but since she's actually playing a porn star in her next movie, it might be considered research.
Ah, yes, the porn parody … I guess these days, you're nothing without a porn parody of your very own. Since Lindsay will be playing the infamous porn star Linda Lovelace in an upcoming film titled Inferno, I'm sure L. Lo can appreciate being the subject of a porn film of her own. After the jump, if you're interested, you can watch a short preview clip from Hustler's Untrue Hollywood Stories: Lindsay Goes to Jail that is TOTALLY safe for work …
Despite the inaccuracies of this XXX film (the lawyer looks NOTHING like Shawn Chapman Holley and Judge Marsha Revel is not a man), it actually looks pretty entertaining. I don't think I need to see the full, uncensored film myself but I can appreciate how there might be a market for this sort of thing. Do any of y'all plan on seeing this film in full? Or is watching the trailer enough for you like it is for me?

Video Game Review: Out of the Park Baseball 18
Hi, my name is Sam Adams... and I'm a baseball strataholic. Ever since I was in middle school, I was obsessed with baseball strategy games. My first foray came with the board game "Strat-o-matic Baseball," before I graduated to the PC universe with "Tony LaRussa Baseball." I loved constructing a super team of baseball players long before LeBron and Curry were building their super teams in the NBA.
