This is more than just a rap song; this is that raw, black-n-blue, next level shit. Released this week on the London-based, independent record label 37 Adventures, "Fuck A Rap Song" is the work of North Londoner Blue Daisy (aka Kwesi Darko), who gained recognition early in his career through the Queen of Grime, Mary-Anne Hobbs. The rapper/producer's newest project is Dahlia Black Gang (or simply Dahlia Black), made up of himself and long-time collaborator, Hey!Zeus (Johnny Holden), DnB Producer/DJ from Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Both the track itself and the video for "Fuck A Rap Song" express a similar ethos to "Skeng" by The Bug, Killa P and Flowdan (gettin' evil), as well as futuristic "freak rap" group Die Antwoord's "Fok Julle Naaiers" (watch both below and compare). 37 Adventures' description is spot on: "The tone is pitch black, psychedelic and perverted. This indeed is the debut release on 37 Adventures." Directed by RUFFMERCY, the video's effects are entrancing, yet minimal, fully centered on the song's words and fundamental message. Blue Daisy himself is lit up over the positive reception of "Fuck A Rap Song:" Hella start to 2013 after my 1st release of the year.. I feel good. 16K+ views in 2days as well. Wow!! Not stopping anytime soon. The graft continues. #HardWorkPays. Thank you. :)
Get the download!

Apart from being incredibly sexy, Jimmy Page could easily be the best guitar player of all time. This cat can do any genre. His solos are groovy...and he's self taught. I love him.

After manhandling it a little further I noticed the adjustable rear sight blade is loose and jiggles in place. Does anybody know of aftermarket rear sights that would fit?

Winter F.A.W.C! got off to a fantastic start over the weekend with all events sold out.
If you want to join the fun this month, try a "F.A.W.C! by 5" meal with participating restaurants, which are offering menu specials in multiples of $5, totalling no more than $50 per person.
On Thursday night I went along to Mexi Mama in Ahuriri to try its "F.A.W.C! by 5" dish,
For just $10 you get an eight-inch quesadilla dinner of slow cooked shredded chicken in chorizo, chipotle, onion and tomato sauce with melted cheese on a flour tortilla with coleslaw salad tossed in coriander vinaigrette. The place was humming when I arrived at 7.30pm. I was met at the door by Jamie Buckley, who is "running the place" along with his father. "I came back from overseas to manage the family business," he said.
Jamie was warm and friendly and invited me to try a "couple of other dishes while you are here".
Because I was at a Mexican restaurant I had to have a margarita.
I left it to Jamie to decide which one I had. He chose Flor de Jamaica, which had el Jimador tequila, agave nectar, six barrel hibiscus soda, fresh lemon and lime with strawberry himalayan salt rim.
It was luscious with a good kick in its tale. While I was sipping on this, Jamie returned to the table with guacamole con Totopos served in a "volcanic holder all the way from Mexico".
The guacamole fresh avocado, tomato, onion, coriander & sesame seeds accompanied with corn chips was fresh, light and very moreish, as were the corn chips.
Then I tried the skillet cornbread served with chipotle aioli. It was served wrapped in paper all steaming hot with a mouth watering smell. It tasted as good as it smelt.
Next came the F.A.W.C! by 5 dish, the eight-inch quesadilla dinner. I couldn't get over the value. Honestly $10 for this dish is amazing, it's simple but tasty and satisfying. "We wanted to keep the dish simple and uncomplicated. It's great for kids as well," Jamie said.
I finished with a Flan de coco, - a creme caramel flan with coconut cream ... yummy.
All the dishes were well presented in simple ways.
Mexi Mama makes dining out affordable and fun. The food is fresh, tasty and satisfying.

SEO Activism: Detox Campaign by Greenpeace
For years I've been a proponent of using SEO for more than just making money. Even on the Web it's "people before profits". You can't just do business as usual when the planet and humanity with it goes down the drain. Still it's a rare occasion that you see SEO being used for activism.
Not every non-profit organization is automatically working for the greater good. There is one though that is beyond doubt in this case: Greenpeace. Also Greenpeace has used SEO for its Detox campaign in a way that inspired me to write this post.
One of the reasons I write about it is the lofty definition of SEO Greenpeace offers:
This is SEO, or "Search Engine Optimization", and it's one of the few fantastic activist tactics that are native to the web. It's not the online version of something which people were doing already before the internet.
The SEO here is just a call to action to webmasters and bloggers to link back to the campaign site. This is of course the easiest and best way to do it. Also it's quite inclusive. Not everybody can donate money or take part in actual protests on the streets. Also many people might feel that just giving money is not really activism.
Last bot not least many actions are just too far away for most people. On the Web there is no distance and attention is the currency. Links provide and channel attention. Of course I'd invite readers to share the campaign URL on social media sites as well. On the Web the people have the power to change things and to direct attention where it belongs.
The detox campaign is surely worth your attention:
Greenpeace is campaigning to stop industry poisoning waterways around the world with hazardous, persistent and hormone-disrupting chemicals. Launched in July 2011, the Detox campaign has exposed links between textile manufacturing facilities causing toxic water pollution in China, and many of the world's top clothing brands.
I think I'm using products by at least one of the brands targeted in it:
- Adidas
- Nike
- Puma
These are just those brands that have already reacted. Greenpeace has already forced Apple to become more environmentally friendly so I'm quite optimistic that they will be able to stop the water pollution by these and other global brands. We know they they don't produce or even design most of their garments themselves. They are all made in
- China
- Bangladesh
- Philippines
The people in the countries suffer at least twofold, by ridiculously low wages and by environmental destruction.
These global brands do not have factories themselves. They even outsource the creative process. They only thing they have is their brand image. So in case they pollute the environment we can pollute their images with news about it. It's that simple.
What can you learn from it?
You don't need an expensive SEO agency to use SEO for activism.
Just ask and inspire people to link to you and spread the word on social media. Of course some advice from SEO experts is also sometimes crucial. In this case Gareth aka SEO Doctor has pointed out that the campaign URL Greenpeace requested readers to link to has been redirected by a temporary redirect aka 302 which does not work for Google. So all the links using the short URL would have been wasted.
Does it work? Yes, Greenpeace is already at #11 for the quite competitive term [detox]. Ad some more links to your sites to push it up to the top 10.
Of course SEO is more than rankings. Personally I also doubt that people who are searching for detox are actually the right audience for this kind of topic. It would be better to optimize for the brand names of the companies that are responsible for the pollution. Once potential customers find out about the toxic pollutants their brands produce they may reconsider their purchase. This way the pressure grows.

Packers find classic tight ends harder to come by
Green Bay — Today, he hardly recognizes his position. From his new post as St. Augustine's University's offensive coordinator, Ben Coates tracks the game's best tight ends.
Yet these so-called tight ends are different.
"It's a changing of the guard," Coates said this week. "Basically, you look at it and it's becoming more of a passing league. Everybody wants to see the quarterback throw it 40 times a game. It's all fine and dandy, but the teams that win the Super Bowl aren't those kinds of teams.
"They're teams that run the ball."
True, the Seattle Seahawks did run the ball. But the classical, complete tight end is an endangered species. Part of it is by choice — teams prefer more athletic options at the position. Part of it, Coates believes, is supply. The proliferation of spread offenses in college football squeezes out the Coates-built tight end.
So the Green Bay Packers have some tough decisions to make at the position. The to-do list probably isn't complete.
They re-signed Andrew Quarless. They're waiting on Jermichael Finley (neck). They hope Brandon Bostick, a Finley Lite, develops. They could gamble on athleticism in the draft.
Fielding a complete tight end would absolutely help in the NFC, where Green Bay must get past Seattle, San Francisco and Carolina. Finding the complete tight end is the problem.
"There are very few of them in the league right now," Coates said. "A lot of them would say, 'Yeah, I'm a complete tight end.' But if you look at the tape and watch the games, 'Wait a minute. You got help from the running back and the tackle. Come on man!'"
Call the 1990s a glory era of sorts for tight ends. A five-time Pro Bowl pick, Coates caught 490 passes for 5,471 yards with 50 touchdowns in New England. At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, Coates was an imposing, surprisingly nimble receiver in the open field — and he could shift inside to block for Curtis Martin.
He wasn't alone. Coates is quick to rattle off several two-way tight ends, including Green Bay's Mark Chmura.
That core of tight ends — the Chmuras, the Novaceks, etc. — is different from this one.
He's a fan of Jason Witten, because Witten will "do all the dirty work." Elsewhere, it gets dicey.
"Antonio (Gates) is a pretty good guy," Coates said. "I don't see him doing a lot of blocking — they always bring in another guy to block. (Tony) Gonzalez, same way. They bring somebody else in to block and send him out on a route. They're great athletes. I just don't see them having to block a lot."
Many teams believe the trade-off is worth it. Scouts search under every rock. Even UW-Milwaukee post player Demetrius Harris drew heavy, immediate interest last year before making the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad.
There's no denying that 4.4 speed and a 37-inch vertical at tight end can dizzy a defensive coordinator. Do you cover Jimmy Graham, Julius Thomas, Finley with a linebacker? A safety? A prayer? In every way, the modern game is trending toward more passing, so it makes sense to flex out large athletes.
Yet a tight end capable of blocking a defensive end can make life complicated, too.
After playing, Coates was the Cleveland Browns tight ends coach for two seasons. Kellen Winslow Jr. did have 89 receptions for 875 yards with three scores in 2006, but Coates saw how difficult it is to scheme with a tight end who can't take on ends alone.
In the run game, options are limited. Send in a block-first backup and you're basically telegraphing a run.
"Everywhere from college to pro, you know your weaknesses," Coates said. "You're not trying to put the kid in a situation where he's going to fail. So you have to scheme around that particular player. You have to get him away from that type of stuff to be able to succeed in the things you're trying to get done.
"You can't put him in a situation where he's trying to block Reggie White."
Find a starter who'll roll up his sleeves and that unpredictability helps.
"Now, you can really open up your offense," Coates said. "If you don't have one, you can't. You're very limited."
Former NFL general manager Phil Savage believes tight ends today are basically divided into two categories — the pass catcher and the "point-of-attack blocker." The reason we don't see as many complete players is a combination of NFL choice and the college game, he says. The spread is eliminating the classical tight end.
He doesn't necessarily see this as some depressing development. Teams can use two tight ends in tandem. One in tight, one in the slot.
"It puts the defense in a bind and that's why these clubs do it," Savage said. "If you play base personnel, they'll extend you out and play in space. If you play a nickel package, they'll bunch back in and run the ball on you. It's an ingenious way to maximize your personnel if you have these hybrid athletes who can do a little bit of both or a lot of one and a little of the other in terms of the pass and run."
So what does Green Bay have at the position? Several maybes. After a strong finish, finally healthy, maybe Quarless will grow into a complete tight end. Maybe Brandon Bostick will break through.
The NFL draft has sizzle at tight end. The substance is unknown.
North Carolina's Eric Ebron — a potential top 10 pick — is the most complete player available. And even Ebron was more of a slot receiver last fall. Jace Amaro played exclusively in the slot at Texas Tech last fall. Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins passes the Coates eye test. But he was labeled "a pretender ... not really a football player" by a scout to the Journal Sentinel. Beyond this trio, Iowa's C.J. Fiedorowicz was used often as an in-line blocker, yet didn't crack 300 receiving yards last season.
Tight ends will be available. If he's asked to block, Amaro said he can handle it.
"I think it's just a want-to thing," said Amaro, who caught 106 balls for 1,352 yards and seven touchdowns. "I've always had the technique. I've always had the drive. When I'm asked to block, I know I can block."
And Amaro did put up 28 reps on the bench press in Indianapolis. Possibly it was a matter of opportunity.
That's for NFL teams to figure out. Maybe NFL teams don't care. Blocking is no longer a prerequisite for the position. For Coates, it is a tad sad. He's not sure what his position will resemble in five, 10 years.
"A hybrid tight end," Coates guesses, "where you just don't have to block at all."
Still, he points to the last three Super Bowl winners. They all could run the ball.
If the Packers can find a complete tight end, it sure wouldn't hurt.

Like how Alvin was announced, this week's Shounen Jump has some information regarding the 4th character to join up game's roster of characters. The 4th character is called Leia Roland, a girl who seems to specialize in healing artes, making her the would-be primary healer of choice in the game.
Described as a girl with a cheerful personality, Leia is a childhood friend of Jude (that male main character) and has a weakness of some sorts for betting on sports and martial arts tournaments. Since Jude is a martial artist, this could probably mean something!
It's worth noting that most Tales games have support up to 7-8 different characters to form a party (Tales of Symphonia had 9!), so there's still quite a ways to go until we know them all!

ARCHAEOLOGISTS are poring over advanced LiDAR images of the Honduran rainforest, pondering if the results reveal an ancient lost city.
The legendary "White City" of Ciudad Blanca was one of the "cities of gold" conquistador Hernando Cortes led an expedition to find in the 1500s.
LiveScience reports archaeologists and filmmakers Bill Beneson and Steven Elkins began their search for the legendary lost city in Honduras' Mosquitia region last year.
Unlike Cortes' who had little more than eyes, rumours and machetes, the new team is using LiDAR imaging technology that uses lasers to penetrate the forest canopy to analyse the terrain beneath.
A light plane has been flying low over 120sq/km of likely forest, firing billions of laser pulses at the ground to create a 3D digital map.
New images reveal unusual features that could be ancient ruins. The features exposed could be buildings, canals, roads and terraced farm land.
The University of Houston archaeologists are expected to discuss their findings at the American Geophysical Union Meeting of the Americas, in Cancun, later today.

Paris is always a good idea… But no, I am still in my home city Berlin. My friend David, who is also a Fashion Blogger, came up with a super cool idea for blog series. A role play where we create an outfit inspired by different cities, culture or scenes. Tonight I am sharing with you my way how I see the Parisian fashion style. I know it's quite cliché with my beret and striped cropped top but to be honest I really love this outfit. The cropped top and the pencil skirt create a beautiful slim line and the boyfriend blazer makes it look more elegant though edgy.

Main Street FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About the Main Street Approach
How does the Main Street Program work locally?
Main Street programs are locally driven, funded, organized, and run. They are independent nonprofits or city agencies located in the community and are usually affiliated with the state, city, or regional coordinating Main Street organization and a network of other Main Street organizations within the state. The statewide or citywide coordinating Main Street organization generally has an application process through which a community can be designated as a Main Street program. The coordinating organizations provide direct technical services, networking, and training opportunities to their affiliated programs. See a listing of all state, regional, and city Main Street Coordinating Programs.
How Do I Start a Main Street Program in My Community?
Typically, interest in developing a local Main Street program comes from business or property owners, city government, bankers, civic clubs, the chamber of commerce, historic preservationists, or other civic-minded groups. They contact the appropriate coordinating Main Street organization to find out about the application process, discuss goals, establish an organization (Main Street programs are usually independent, nonprofit organizations), raise money to hire a full-time Main Street director, and create volunteer committees and a board of directors to carry out the work. Once the program has been established, its participants examine the commercial district's needs and opportunities and develop a long-term, incremental strategy based on the Main Street Four-Point Approach to strengthen the district's commercial activity and improve its buildings. The National Main Street Center provides consulting services, support, training, materials, and information to assist a revitalization organization throughout its growth.
Who should be involved in the local Main Street program?
Everyone with a stake in the commercial district and its future should be involved. Merchants, property owners, the chamber of commerce, industries, local government, and residents all benefit from a healthy local economy and from a historic core that reflects the community's heritage and personality. Sound partnerships are crucial to the Main Street program's success. In fact, a 1988 study of successful downtown revitalization programs in America, conducted by the National Main Street Center and the Urban Land Institute, found that programs funded primarily by local sources were much more likely to succeed than those that relied heavily on state or federal funds. It is also important for both the public and private sectors to support the program financially, thereby demonstrating their commitment to its goals.
How do I apply the Main Street Four-Point Approach® to my community?
The National Main Street Center offers a variety of resources and publications to help guide your local revitalization efforts. It also sponsor the National Main Streets Conference that offers excellent learning and networking opportunities. You can network with and learn from other Main Street communities' experiences by joinging the National Main Street Network. NMSC also provides consulting services to provide direct assistance to your community.
Am I the right person to start this program? How can I get others interested?
Your Main Street's revitalization starts with you! Main Street programs around the nation are started by ordinary, concerned citizens who work with others in the community to reach a common goal. To get started, gather as much information as possible and spark interest among community groups that have a stake in the future of your commercial corridor: local government, chamber of commerce, historic preservation groups, etc. Put together a task force to plan the next steps. Contact your Main Street Coordinating Program to learn the process for applying in your state or city. If there are other local Main Street programs nearby, talk to them about their successes and challenges. If there is an active downtown organization in your community, join it and present your ideas on preservation-based revitalization. See Getting Started for more information.
Who pays for the Main Street program? Is it a grant?
No. Financial support for the program comes from the local entities that have a stake in the downtown: city government, merchants, businesses, and the public. The success of the Main Street program over the years lies in the fact that it is a local initiative, both organizationally and financially. When there is local buy-in, people care more about the success of the program and become more involved.
How long does a local Main Street program last?
Commercial revitalization is an ongoing process. Just as shopping centers and malls have full-time staff that work constantly to ensure proper leasing, management, and marketing, downtown and neighborhood commercial districts need ongoing attention, too. To ensure continuing economic success, Main Street programs are ongoing.
What assistance is available to establish and manage a local Main Street program?
Assistance is available in the forms of technical services, networking, training, and information. The Center can provide direct fee-for-service technical assistance to cities and towns, both independently and in conjunction with state and citywide Main Street programs. Statewide and citywide coordinating programs also provide these types of assistance.
What if my state does not have a statewide Main Street organization?
Some states do not have coordinating Main Street programs. If you check the Coordinating Program listing and find no statewide program, you can still initiate your own independent Main Street organization.
How can my community obtain direct, on-site help from the National Main Street Center?
Visit our Consulting Services page to see how we can help your community directly. In many cases, the National Main Street Center works directly with a Main Street Coordinating Program to provide technical assistance to their designated communities. As always, we encourage communities to begin their own Main Street programs locally, whether or not they can afford the Center's services.
Is joining the Main Street Network Membership Program the same as becoming a Main Street organization?
No. Although the terminology is similar, they are two different processes. The Center offers the National Main Street Network Membership to provide information and benefits to any individual, agency, or organization interested in preservation-based commercial district revitalization. For an annual subscription of $250, members receive a weekly e-newsletter, access to member's only information, and other benefits. Being designated as a Main Street program by a Main Street coordinating program is a completely different process, which requires an application to that coordinating organization. In order to call yourself a Main Street organization in most states, you must be designated by the coordinaing program. In states without coordinating programs, communities may self-initiate an independent program. Learn more about use of the name "Main Street."
We are not ready to apply to our Coordinating Main Street program for designation. Is there anything else we can do?
Yes. You can encourage local leaders, planning agencies, economic development agencies, city government, businesses, and individuals to apply the Main Street Approach to what they are doing now. Persuade them to view traditional commercial buildings as an asset to your community and to see the downtown or neighborhood commercial district as an area full of opportunity to renew your community's sense of identity, history, and place. You can also view case studies in our resources section and bring them to the attention of community leaders.

Listening to "There's No Place Like Ohm" is Musical Medicine; it is immediately relaxing, a beautiful Sound Odyssey that allows you to resonate and journey with the Om tone like never before. Many chant the Om mantra, however, this CD was created without human voice, in the Musical Key of Ohm (OM), and focuses instead on the voices heard in nature through wind instruments and animals sounding. Listen to the heralding of the Armenian duduk, the haunting voice of the didgeridoo, the whisper of the Native American Flute, the whale's song... Tantric Buddhist scripture tells us that Ohm is the most powerful vibration. The Ohm frequency is based on the elliptical orbit of the earth as it travels around the sun through 4 seasons. Therefore, Ohm can be thought of as our "Musical Center of Gravity."
Listen for relaxation, stress reduction, while meditating, and practicing Yoga. Recommended for use with Ohm Tuning Forks.

Name That Trauma :: Reader Paco on a Pop-up Doll
January 12th, 2011 · 6 Comments
Back in the '80s when I was a kid there was a toy where a monster would pop out and eat people/elves (not sure). As I remember it was a mini scene where something comes out from under a rock. It haunted me for years.
Later as a teen, I saw the DEVILMAN anime movie and it had an intro with fairies flying peacefully over an alien looking forest. Out of nowhere these cute things get eviscerated by all sorts of nasty carnivorous fauna and creatures. It's terrifying and also creeped me out for a while. It reminded me of the toy I am trying to remember.
Please help,
— Paco
UPDATE: NAME THAT TRAUMA SOLVED! Special thanks to Chris for solving it with Rocks & Bugs & Things!

Traumafessions :: Spooky Sean on The Christmas Toy
November 24th, 2010 · 5 Comments
When I was about six years old, one of my favorite movies was a little film called THE CHRISTMAS TOY. Only, it also happened to scare the utter shit out of me, with its concept. For, you see, when the Jones' leave the room, their toys come to fucking life.
The film opens with Kermit the Frog dressed as Santa Claus falling down the chimney, and into the Jones' home. He explains how, in essence, whenever any of the human beings leave the room, the plastic and stuffed play things come to life. Apparently, they also like to sing, for as soon as Kermit peaces out, we get a musical number.
I had a very over active imagination as a child, and the premise of the film more then anything fucked with my head. So, wait, when I leave the room, my Ninja Turtles and my Fraggle Rocks will come to life?! And when I come back inside, they will go back to playing dead? What the hell, am I not cool enough for them to just talk and sing to me! Or, are they planning some kind of terrible plot against me, and they can't talk about it in front of me! According to the plot if the toys are seen moving by humans, they become frozen. I'll tell you, if I saw a stuffed animal come to life, I'd be frozen too; frozen in fear for my sanity.
I'm sorry, I love the toys and inanimate objects come to life films, but can you see how they might be disturbing to a small child who hasn't yet solidified his sense of reality? Re-watching it, of course it just seems silly, but yes, I was also still a little freaked out. Fuck, there is a scene where one of the main toys, Rugby the Tiger, is spying on the adults from inside the closet! Tell me that Tiger doesn't seem a little whacked out.

Traumafessions :: Readers Grayson K. & Justin L. on Hasbro's Monster Face
October 7th, 2010 · 9 Comments
I'm actually kind of surprised that this isn't on your site already. One of my earliest memories (I think I was four) was being at my parents friend's house who ran a daycare. For some reason I had to sleep in her older son's room by myself. I'll never forget being alone in that dark room and suddenly seeing a horrible, deformed life sized head looking right at me! The head was none other than Hasbro's Monster Face. It was a kind of a Mr. Potato Head for older children and came with a bunch of different accessories to customize it's heinousness.
This memory has slid through my brain off and on throughout my life, but it wasn't until about a month ago that I tracked down what this horrible head in my memory was I wasn't sure if I had even made up this memory until a few hours of internet searches revealed that this THING does exist… and it's name is MONSTER FACE!
— Grayson K.
When I was a kid, like all young boys, I loved disgusting and scary things. Hasbro knows its demographic and in 1992 released Monster Face. It was a mad scientist take on Mr. Potato Head. You could add body parts, bugs, etc. But one of the things I remember most was the container of snot that came with it. There was a spot on the back of the head to pour in the snot and it would ooze out of the nose.
This is one of the most haunting memories from my childhood. At night, seeing the face partially illuminated scared me to no end. I believed that the face would come to life in the middle of the night. I eventually became so frightened that I had to cover the face before I went to bed.
I remembered this terrifying toy after reading other similar stories on your blog. I googled for a while before finally coming across its name and soon found other recollections similar to my own. It's good to know that I'm not alone in being tortured by this thing.

Traumafessions :: Reader Thunderknight on Mr. Mouth & Mostly Ghostly
December 14th, 2009 · 19 Comments
Hi Kindertrauma-maniacs, I wanted to bring up a game that haunted me as a child.
Two actually.
One was the ever so scary Mr. Mouth game…a big yellow head with a flip top (Black Dahlia) mouth that you have to flip coins (I think) into. And those goofy eyes staring at you, geez.
The other game was Mostly Ghostly, a skeleton building game with a spinner made out of what else…skeletal arms I think. With each spin, you can choose another bone appendage to build your spooky skeleton.
Does anyone else remember these games…nightmares!
Your friend and fellow fiend,

Traumafessions :: Reader Raven on Mad Scientist Toys
September 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments
I thought you might be interested in some of the freakiest toys I ever owned as a kid.
This one is the Mad Scientist Dissect-An-Alien playset.
And this one is the mother of them all: The Mad Scientist Monster Lab, where the whole purpose is to construct alien/monster skeletons that you covered with fake "monster flesh," only to torture your creation by dipping him in a "pit of acid" where the flesh would dissolve and you'd be left with just the skeleton again.
While I LOVED this toy, I was absolutely terrified of the "Powdered Monster Flesh Remover" for fear of it dissolving my own skin. Obviously it couldn't, but it even gave me nightmares about my pet cats somehow finding their way into it.
UNK SEZ: Raven, I remember these! I didn't have them but I remember the commercials on T.V.! At the end of the television advert, a giant cartoon hand would come out and stamp all that proceeded as "TOO GROSS!" Thanks for sharing these great toys with us and as much as WE LOVE ALL Traumafessions, yours especially rules because it concerns the fate of your feline pals! (Did we ever mention Kindertrauma Castle is over run with cats?)

Goodbye to a good car
Mileage: 28.1
February mileage: 498.8
Temperature: 36
The low-lying fog was just starting to break up when I wheeled my bike out of the shed just after 10 a.m. Streaks of sunlight tore through the gray curtain and dusted the road, which was already slushy atop a thick layer of decaying ice. I was dressed for springtime, a fleece pullover and tights, and it felt like springtime. In fact, this whole week has been unbelievably, unseasonably nice. It makes me glad I'm not moving away from Juneau just yet. If my original plans had worked out, this would have been my last week in town. It would have been a tough week to leave behind.
As I lubed my chain, I caught a glimpse through my spokes of Geoff's 1989 Honda Civic. The bike rack was gone, as was the strap that held the trunk shut. Melting snow dripped down the sun-faded paint and icicles clung to the rusted edges. I remembered Geoff told me a guy was coming to pick it up at 11 a.m. Geoff listed the car in the freebie ads last night for $100. He had six calls on it by morning. And as I rolled away, I realized that glimpse would likely be the last I'd ever see of that car.
It was early January 2002 when I first met the Civic. I was visiting Geoff and his family in New York when Geoff's brother offered to sell him a 13-year-old car for $700. Geoff, who lived in Utah, thought that sounded like a perfectly rational business deal. He bought the car and then talked me out of a perfectly good American Airlines ticket so I could help him drive it across the country in two and a half days. I took one look at that car - drooping bumper, rust holes all the way through the body, and 200,000 miles on the odometer, and said to Geoff, "That thing is never going to make it to Utah."
The cross-country trip was fairly uneventful. I saw Indiana for the first time, and Kansas. We spent the night in the car at a rest stop in Wyoming at 8,000 feet. Temperatures probably dipped below zero. I shivered in whatever K-mart sleeping bag I owned at he time as Geoff wheezed and mumbled with a fairly nasty flu bug he had come down with. I thought we were going to die, and I blamed the car.
I had to drive the rest of the way with Geoff unconscious in the passenger's seat, but we amazingly made it to Salt Lake with everything still in one piece. I gave that car three months tops. Geoff spent nearly every weekend in either in the Uinta Mountains or the Southern Utah desert, driving hundreds of miles a week and bouncing that car down the worst kind of roads the BLM and Forest Service can dish out. One time we took it on an excursion to find an over-mountain route from Heber to Little Cottonwood Canyon. Geoff dropped the car into first gear as we bounced over boulders the size of basketballs, skirting cliffsides and grinding up pitches so steep I didn't know if I'd be able to walk down them once the thing broke down. I couldn't imagine four-wheel-drive trucks going up that road, but the Civic kept churning along. Loathing boiled up from my gut. I thought we were going to die, and I blamed the car.
Later that year, Geoff bought a 12-foot aluminum boat in Wyoming. He drove the Civic all the way back to New York to visit family and had a friend gerrymander a towing hitch on the back. He then drove to Wyoming, picked up the boat and trailer, and drove it back to Utah. For the rest of the summer and fall, he'd head up Parley's Canyon twice a week to fish for perch and rainbow trout. Even when it got late in the year and there was snow on the road, there Geoff was, driving down an icy 6-percent grade towing a boat and trailer with a Honda Civic. I thought he was going to die, and I blamed the car.
But the years just kept rolling by, and the odometer kept rolling up. There were countless more trips to the desert, more trips out East, that first trip to Alaska, that first winter in Homer, the frequent hair-raising drives up the Sterling and Seward highways, moving to Juneau, a summer trip all over Western North America and then back again to Juneau. The odometer crept above 300,000 and then 310,000. I never lost my faith that the Civic was going to die, any minute now, and yet somehow seven years passed.
The brakes finally went out, completely, in early February. The '89 Civic has 313,000 miles on it. Geoff finally had to come to a decision ... $500 of brake work that would probably bring to light the myriad other repairs needed, or going car-free.
And Geoff, who mostly bike commutes these days anyway, put his car up for sale.
I know we're cyclists and not supposed to get all emotional about cars, but I can't help it. I'm gonna miss the clunker.

The first time I picked up "Optimal Muscle Training" at the book store, was the first time I realized that muscular imbalances are THAT detrimental to performance. I mean, "C'mon…someone wrote an entire book on the topic!"
Books that help you become better as a professional or learner, are not the same as college textbooks that you pay $130 for and then return them at the end of the semester, to make a measly $28. No, these books stay on your shelf forever. And they don't sit there and collect dust either. They get picked up from time to time, to be reviewed again, or referenced, or in Dr. Ken Kinakin's book—to watch the accompanying DVD again.
How cool is that? The book not only describes the many muscular deviations that may occur or become exposed through weight-training, but there is a video that actually shows the assessments that can be performed to test for such! Once I read the book, I was hooked. Dr. Ken Kinakin did a remarkable job with this book, and he has authored many article published throughout the training community, as well as online publications. He is a respected professional and founder and president of SWIS (Society of Weight-Training Specialists)—an organization that combines specialists in the education of treatment

He is a respected professional and founder and president of SWIS (Society of Weight-Training Specialists)—an organization that combines specialists in the education of treatment
I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Ken Kinakin and he was so kind to take a few moments out of his busy schedule to answer my questions.
JOHN: Dr. Kinakin, can you tell my readers more about yourself, (AKA: your involvement with bio-mechanics and weight-training)?
KK: I am a chiropractor, certified strength and conditioning specialist and a certified personal trainer. I have competed in bodybuilding and still compete in powerlifting. I lecture across Canada and the United States to doctors and personal trainers on the topics of weight-training, rehabilitation and nutrition. I have a private practice in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada where I treat various weight-training and sport injuries. (www.phoenixclinic.ca) I am also the founder and president of the SWIS - Society of Weight-Training Injury Specialists, an organization dedicated to the education and training of the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of weight-training injuries. (www.swis.ca)
JOHN: Your book "Optimal Muscle Training" has been a valuable aide on my personal bookshelf. You wrote an incredible book and to top it off, created an awesome DVD to accompany it. The DVD alone, stands on its own...what prompted you to create such a product (book/DVD)?
KK: Thanks for the compliment. I felt that there was a need to create a book and DVD explaining the assessment of a person who is interested in weight-training and to determine if they are capable to doing the exercises. I have seen various patients get injured in the weight room, not by the exercise, but a pre-existing injury that did not heal properly and the stress of the weight-training exercise exposed the injury. So the best way to learn how to do the tests and exercises is by video and backed up by the book. It has now been used in various colleges and universities across Canada and United States as a teaching tool.
JOHN: It seems that different people have different sensitivity to pain and discomfort. Some people consider the "nagging" feeling of a good stretch as "painful", whereas some bodybuilders that suffer from shoulder impingement simply warm-up their shoulders and hit heavy benching--while ignoring the shoulder pain. It seems to be two different extremes of pain tolerance. In your experience and opinion, is it more psychological or physical?
KK: People perceive pain differently, physically and psychologically. It depends on the amount of nociception (pain receptors) that the person has activated and whether they have chronic inflammation.
JOHN: I watched a HIT Bodybuilding video by Mike Mentzer the other day. I believe it was filmed around 1999 and showed Mike training a young bodybuilder. Watching the video and listening to Mike's instructions, all I can think about was how times have changed in this industry. Do you think physical therapists/chiropractors initiated the crossover to personal training to help or do you think the fitness industry was "asking for it"? Can you explain your answer?
KK: I think what has happened is personal trainers are starting to go into the therapy world by doing functional training. Sometimes exercises and stretches will help an injury if the area is deconditioned. But most often, the injured area has a damaged muscle, joint or nerve or all three and needs treatment before functional training.
JOHN: SWIS is a one-of-a-kind organization. Who are your symposiums attracting?
KK: Thanks. I was trying to bridge the gap between the doctors/therapists and the personal trainers in the area of treatment, rehabilitation, training and nutrition. I brought out the best in the world of strength coaches, personal trainers, nutritionists, doctors, therapists and have them talk about their techniques and tricks of the trade. The interaction between them all was amazing and out of it new techniques and ideas were created. You can check out all the presentations at http://www.swisdvd.com
JOHN: Any plans for another book?
KK: Yes, I have been working on a few all at the same time. One is the "Encyclopedia of Weight-Training Injuries". Another is "How to do a Nutritional Physical".
JOHN: Ken, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to answer my questions. I know you are a busy guy and the fact that you took the time to share your information is very valuable. Thanks.
KK: No problem, John. Thank you. [END]

100 Years Ago in the Forward
Riots broke out in the Bronx and in the Brownsville and East New York sections of Brooklyn after Jewish women discovered that bread companies had tried to trick them into thinking that a new kashrut label on packages of bread was actually a union label. The people running the Bread Trust thought that putting a "kosher" label that resembled a union label would fool local women into thinking they were buying a union-made product. But they were mistaken: People making bread deliveries to these neighborhoods were attacked, and the bread was dumped in the street. Perhaps worst of all, the idiots at the Bread Trust who came up with this idea didn't know Hebrew properly, and instead of writing ّùë (kosher), they wrote ّùل (meat).
75 Years Ago in the Forward
The mood of young mothers on Manhattan's Lower East Side is not a happy one. Recently, a man attempted to kidnap 9-year-old Irwin Goen, but he was foiled after the boy began crying. A group of local women pounced on the man and screamed "Kidnapper!" Young Irwin was saved, and police had to rescue the kidnapper from the women, who were giving him a good pounding. This event comes on the heels of the kidnapping of infant Jackie Horowitz, just two weeks prior. The baby still hasn't been found. It is thought that local lunatic Gussie Freedman has him stashed away somewhere.
50 Years Ago in the Forward
Since the recent Pan-African Summit in Casablanca, Morocco, at which Egyptian dictator Gamel Abdel Nasser declared that Israel is an instrument of imperialism and neo-colonialism, attacks on the Jews of Morocco have increased significantly. The day that Nasser arrived in Casablanca, a number of the city's Jews, mostly young people, were arrested and are now being held in prison and tortured. The situation in general for Moroccan Jews is considered dangerous, and many of them are seriously considering fleeing the country. Meanwhile, local Jewish leaders have met with the mayor of Casablanca in order to try and quell the attacks on the Jews.

The curtain-raising matchup for the 2012 NFL season between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants could serve as metaphor for the renewal of hostilities between Steven and me as we once again pit our prognosticating prowess against each other. On the one hand, you have an underachiever hoping that 2012 will be different than the disappointing 2011 effort (That would be Steven). On the other, you have a champion (Yours truly).Before we begin, let's go over the ground rules for our new readers. Our picks are based solely on game outcomes. No point spreads are considered. We also discourage our readers from using our picks for wagering. If you'd like to give your money away, Steven and I are far more worthy recipients than your bookie. So without further ado: Dallas at New York Giants- Steven: Cowboys – "Tony Romo is going to find the Giants a little easier to face without a constant pass rush coming after him. An improved secondary helps seal an opening victory over the defending champs." Chuck: Giants- "The Cowboys will regret letting Laurent Robinson go all season. Romo will make some big plays, but he'll chuck up a couple of ducks that will put the G-men over the top." Indianapolis at Chicago- Steven: Colts – "Why wait to get that first victory? Andrew Luck won't blow the doors off anything, but he's facing a defense that has Aaron Rodgers to worry about on short notice in week two. Let the real rookie hype begin." Chuck: Bears- "As much as I'd love to go with the Colts, that first win will have to wait a week. Luck is ahead of the curve, but Lovie Smith will have a few curves of his own to throw at the rookie. And until the Colts show me they can contain the run, I'm not picking them against a back like Matt Forte." Jacksonville at Minnesota- Steven: Vikings – "With no rushing attack to worry about, Minnesota should use its own by pounding Adrian Peterson at will. Sure, he may get hurt by the third quarter, but that was going to happen sooner or later." Chuck: Vikings- "It's a shame when these key matchups happen so early in the season. This game could decide the next year's number one overall draft pick. Later in the season would be more dramatic. Vikings win simply because they're at home." Buffalo at New York Jets- Steven: Jets – "I do believe the Jets are better than the preseason showed, and this week that will be good enough. Tim Tebow also scores a goal line touchdown and all seems right with the world." Chuck: Jets- "I think the Bills will be better than the Jets by the end of the season, but not on the road in week one." Miami at Houston- Steven: Texans –"A healthy Arian Foster is dangerous for the rest of the league. The Texans had possibly the top defense in the NFL last year, and a mostly one-dimensional Dolphins attack will help start to get back to that standing this year." Chuck: Texans- "Biggest mismatch of the week." New England at Tennessee- Steven: Titans – "Tennessee will be a surprise team this season, but a brutal schedule in the first half will wear them out. This is week one though, and an early upset is brewing." Chuck: Patriots- "The Titans are good enough to upset the Pats, but inconsistent enough to lose by three touchdowns. Jake Locker meet Tom Brady. Take notes." St. Louis at Detroit- Steven: Lions – "How exactly will Calvin Johnson be stopped this year?" Chuck: Lions- "Steven has started the season picking the Lions. See, he learned from last year." Washington at New Orleans- Steven: Saints – "Bounties, hurricanes and whatever else is over for the Saints. Finding a pass defense though hasn't ended yet, but the Robert Griffin III will have to use his legs to try and make it work this year." Chuck: Saints- "The Saints are in disarray and RGIII will put some numbers. Drew Brees will put up more. Take the over in this game." Philadelphia at Cleveland- Steven: Eagles – "This one feels closer than it looks, but how can you trust the Browns? I weep for you, Cleveland." Chuck: Eagles- "Another rookie QB makes his debut. Brandon Weeden won't be hearing any love from disgruntled Browns fans after the Eagles secondary rudely welcomes him to the NFL." Atlanta at Kansas City- Steven: Falcons – "As far as road wins go, this will be impressive. I think Matt Ryan has a terrific season." Chuck: Chiefs- "An early matchup of my two darkhorse Super Bowl teams. Matt Ryan is to to break out, but Kansas City is never an easy place to get a win. Ask Green Bay last year." San Francisco at Green Bay- Steven: Packers – "Not so quick anointing Green Bay on top of the NFC this year, but they pull out a close one in the best game of the opening week." Chuck: Packers- "This game should live up to its hype. Packers in a close one." Seattle at Arizona- Steven: Seahawks – "From the best game to the worst. Did the NFC West get banned from television yet? In any case, the Seahawks plan appears to involve blinding its opponents this season." Chuck: Seahawks- "If Brandon Weeden has the worst matchup for rookie quarterbacks, Russell Wilson has one of the best. The Seahawks could surprise some folks this year." Carolina at Tampa Bay- Steven: Panthers – "Can Carolina outscore everyone it faces? Tough schedule probably means it has to." Chuck: Buccaneers- "The Bucs were busy this off season. No NFL squad improved itself more than Tampa." Pittsburgh at Denver- Steven: Broncos – "Welcome back to football Peyton Manning. This just has a feeling of it finally being a down year for the Steelers." Chuck: Broncos- "Peyton Manning has a tough road ahead with the schedule. A home game against an aging Steelers defense is as good a place as any to start." Cincinnati at Baltimore- Steven: Bengals – "Cincinnati, not Baltimore is the favorite in the AFC North this year. A win on the road could lead to a 6-0 start to the year." Chuck: Bengals- "These two will battle for AFC North supremacy and meet to kick off and end the season. In between, it should be a good battle. The Ravens will miss Terrell Suggs and Jarrett Johnson (not to mention Cory Redding and Tom Zbikowski… and a guy named Pagano). San Diego at Oakland- Steven: Chargers – "Close call, but a slight edge goes to San Diego here as Oakland relies on too many big plays." Chuck: Raiders- "I'll have to find out who won this game on Tuesday, not because it's on too late. Chris Berman is doing the play-by-play. Can't ESPN bring back the games with no announcers?"

An exotic fruit cake that should be on a pedestal, embroidered with royal pink icing, gold and colourful chocolate beans.
♬ 'Spice' by The Spice Girls
This album reminds me of the times my mum would encourage me to stay in: but I never listened and hopped on my bike to discover new shops, to spend all my pocket money. Some things haven't changed! Now you could probably find this album tucked away in a charity shop, because The Saturdays and Little Mix are the new flavours in the teen world. The only song that will put the icing on the cake this mothering Sunday is 'Mama'. I secretly wanted to be Ginger Spice! The dress Geri Halliwell wore at the 1997 BRIT Awards, started my obsession with the union jack - that to this day hasn't expired.
Mother is an avid fan of the following:
Almond Chocolate
Flower gardens
Shopping for sari's
A good cup of chai
Swarovski Crystal
Fresh and dried fish
Putting everything mum loves in a cake would be ideal, unfortunately fish and a pink sari won't digest! From all the above the outcome was fruit cake laced in brandy, glazed cherries, almond essence and the seeds from a cardamom. A glorious combination of flavours that work hand in hand, just like mother and daughter.
This is how it looked when I carved out the heart:
After nibbling on the bits that didn't make the cut, I have to say the cardamom seeds gave the cake a gorgeous kick.
I have a feeling her heart will melt once seeing and eating this.
Enjoy your weekend.x
This time last year:

Brooklyn Cafe Restaurant Review: Schooled partly in the Houston's corporation, Jeff Trump and his business partner, chef Mike Horosh, lifelong friends, offer an eclectic menu that relies for its success on fresh fare, rather than on some razzle dazzle display of odd flavors or architectural plating. Bring the kids --- there are coloring books to keep them entertained --- and savor lobster bisque. You may encounter a massaman curry on the menu that changes often, so the carrots and mashed potatoes that used to grace a fine roasted half chicken now appear with braised short ribs. For dessert, the carrot cake is a classic. The wine list has been expanded, and you'll now find it still chiefly drawn from American sources, but with the occasional French, Italian or Spanish selection in the mix.

How to choose this product
Boat taps are plumbing fittings forming part of the vessel's water system. Those offered on NauticExpo are designed for use aboard leisure craft.
These devices are intended for use on recreational vessels with salt- or freshwater systems including a sink. Most are cruising boats with shower, galley and similar features.
As on land, stainless steel, plastic, chromed brass and other materials are used. Single-handle taps are sometimes found aboard vessels with a water heater. Articulated models fold inward to free space when not in use. Another space-saving option particularly practical where there is little room is the retractable spray, which serves as both shower and sink fitting. Most versions feature a water-saving aerator.
How to choose
Verify the diameter of the tap hole on the sink. Determine need for a single-handle model. Choose a design that will blend in with the boat's decor

In 1994, I remember reading that figure skating received the second-highest
TV ratings of all sports. Does anyone have any recent statistics on
skating's popularity? The reason I ask is because soon I will be trying to
sell my skating novel to agents and editors. Although the book is accessible
to a general readership (in other words, there's a lot more to the story
than school figures, triple jumps, and medal ceremonies), my primary
audience will be skating fans. Therefore, I need some stats as to how many
people are currently watching this sport.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out! :-)

Last week, we took a look at printing envelopes. But often people want to print labels–and then put the labels on envelopes, shipping boxes, CDs, file folders, jars of apricot jam, or whatever can be labeled.
After you purchase blank labels, you need to carefully check which size you have. Word provides information from some vendors, including their product numbers, which can make that part easier.
The next steps depend on what kind of label you want to make.
I want to make a sheet of return-address labels
See Make a label or a sheet of the same labels.
I want to print out labels for a mass mailing
For this, you can use mail merge. For more information on printing labels by using mail merge, see Make labels for a mass mailing.
I want to type my own labels
If you want to type a sheet of labels and every label is different (for example, a sheet of name tags), see Type a sheet of different labels.
You can find the label template that's pictured here, and many more label templates, on Office.com.

Beautiful, but...October 9, 2013
These are great, but I thought they would be larger. I can't use them as I wanted to, but I have a bracelet design for them that should be perfect. If these were larger, they would look nice threaded on leather thong or cord bolo ties or a mans two strand necklace, as I wanted to do for my brother.

Great item.June 3, 2013
I used these to make a graduation bracelet for my niece. It was a lot of work! But worth it. It turned out really nice. These criss cross links can be used for so many different pieces, I can't wait to experiment. They are a little small, and a little hard to work with, but I think the outcome is well worth the work.

Bulldogs Drop 3-0 Decision to No. 2 Florida
Oct. 13, 2013
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Georgia volleyball team fell 3-0 (25-15, 25-15, 25-18) to the No. 2 Florida Gators in Southeastern Conference volleyball action on Sunday, Oct. 13 at the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Fla. With the loss, the Bulldogs drop to 14-4 on the season and 4-2 in SEC play. Florida improves to 17-1 overall and 6-0 in league action.
"We were beaten by a very physical and talented Florida team," Head Coach Lizzy Stemke said. "I thought that we did some really nice things from the service line, but Florida's ball control was at another level today. They have a lot of weapons and were able to use them all because they put their setter in a great position time and time again. We were a lot more organized and showed a lot more fight in the third set but their physicality overwhelmed us at times. These SEC road weekends do not get any easier for us as we face Missouri and Arkansas next weekend. I know that we are all anxious to get back into the gym on Tuesday to prepare for both of those teams."
Brittany Northcutt led the Bulldogs offensively with seven kills, followed by Stacey Smith with five. Jasmine Eatmon and Lauren Teknipp each posted four kills in the match. Kaylee Kehoe and Maggie Baumert split time as the setter, finishing with 11 and 10 assists, respectively. Allison Summers picked up the lone Georgia service and led the team with 12 digs. Northcutt also led the team with two blocks, while four other players recorded one block each.
Florida took an early 9-2 and didn't look back as it went on to win the set 25-15. A service error and a Northcutt kill gave the Bulldogs back-to-back points that cut the lead to 11-5. Trailing 13-6, Georgia scored three of the next five points to bring the score to 15-9. Georgia was able to score on Florida errors and a kill by Smith, but was unable to overcome the early deficit, which allowed the Gators to take a 3-0 set two lead.
Trailing 3-1 in the second set, a service ace by Summers, a Florida error and a kill by Eatmon tied the set at four. Georgia kept it a two-point set until a Florida kill sparked a 3-0 that put the Gators up 9-5. Georgia got a point back on a Florida miscue, but three-straight Florida kills forced the Bulldogs to use a timeout trailing 12-6. Following the break, Georgia got block by Northcutt and Desiree McCray that made it a five-point set at 12-7. Georgia called a timeout trailing 19-11 and got kills by Le'au, Northcutt and Teknipp, but the Gators had an answer for each point and went on to take a 2-0 lead with a 25-15 set two win.
The Gators raced out to an 11-4 lead in the third set before the Bulldogs came back to within four at 14-10 on a Northcutt kill. Florida scored the next three points to extend its lead to 17-10. Trailing 23-14, a Teknipp kill and a block by Smith cut the lead to 23-16. Florida scored the next point but Georgia was able to score two more times before the Gators sealed the 3-0 win with a 25-18 set three win.
Georgia continues its four-match road trip when it travels Columbia, Mo., next Friday, Oct. 18 for an SEC match that is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Bulldogs will then head to Fayetteville, Ark., to face Arkansas at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 20. That match will be televised on CSS.

Net privacy law limits kids' online choices
NEW YORK (AP) In the past year, kids site Zeeks.com
closed its chat rooms and disabled e-mail accounts for children. Internet matchmaker
eCrush dropped users under 13, as did America Online's ICQ service.
Some of the sites that have tried to meet requirements under a child
privacy law without curtailing services or restricting usage:
Sports Illustrated for
Kids: Instead of asking for full names, the site now requests only
first names and last initials when kids submit essays or use other interactive
features. The site also asks for an e-mail addresses, which it uses to
contact parents as needed. ''That adds an extra step,'' says Peter Kay,
the magazine's director of new media. ''We just can't ask for their phone
number right away.''
Microsoft: If Hotmail
or another Microsoft site knows it is dealing with a kid under 13, it
requires parents to sign up for Kids Passport. The free tool lets parents
declare how much information their children can share. Non-Microsoft sites
can use Kids Passport, too, though few have signed up. ''We think empowering
consumers to use the Web services is exactly our job,'' said Richard Purcell,
Microsoft's chief privacy officer.
K12Planet: The
site, which aims to connect students, parents and teachers, has developed
kits with consent forms that schools can distribute to parents. Lee Wilson,
vice president of marketing, says the privacy law ''made us look more
closely at our policies,'' but the company found the site's practices
already in line with the requirements.
RocketCash: This
site lets parents open online shopping accounts for kids who do not have
credit cards. Parents give consent when they deposit money into accounts,
but in some cases, marketers want to offer free spending points as part
of promotions. In those cases, kids would have to get parents' consent.
Co-founder Carol Kruse says most parents approve - they don't want to
pass up free money..
Alloy Online banned young children from contests. Children
under 13 can do less on the Internet these days in part because of a federal
law designed to protect their privacy.
The law, which marks its first anniversary a week from
Saturday, requires sites that attract children under 13 to get permission from
parents before asking for names, physical locations and other details that could
expose them to marketers and molesters.
Scores of sites have re-evaluated whether they really need
all the information they had previously collected, and many have improved mechanisms
to get parental consent. But others simply dropped services or limited usage
to avoid paperwork.
Zeeks.com tried keeping its services for a few months,
but ultimately decided that staffing, equipment and storage of consent records
would cost $200,000 a year.
Traffic dropped by 20% when Zeeks took away chat rooms
and e-mail accounts, said Steve Bryan, the company's chief executive. The company
couldn't make money and sold the site a few weeks ago.
"Today kids are less safe on the Internet because ... sites
trying to do the right thing for kids have gone away," Bryan said. "Under (the
law), we were assumed to be evil marketers."
At eCrush, co-founder Karen DeMars said accommodating younger
children would have cost at least $25,000. Because they were less than 5% of
the site's user base, eCrush decided to not bother.
Likewise, compliance for Alloy Online means keeping younger
kids out. Although the site bills itself as a community for Generation Y
ages 10 to 24 co-founder Matthew Diamond said its products and ads mostly
target 15- to 17-year-olds.
Supporters of the law say it has generally worked as intended,
though they acknowledge disruptions for kids who have to wait for parents to
fax, mail or phone in consent or to provide credit card verification. Consent
via e-mail is acceptable only in some cases.
"Kids want it to be quick and immediate," said Elizabeth
Lascoutx, director of the Children's Advertising Review Unit, part of the Council
of Better Business Bureaus. "Waiting for Mom to come home to call 800 numbers
holds it up."
Parry Aftab, a New York lawyer who wrote a book on Internet
safety for children, said getting parents' attention can be tough. At Bonus.com,
for instance, 63% of parents never replied to requests for consent. Of the ones
who did, most granted consent.
"They are busy and have a million things to do," Aftab
said. "Giving their kids permission to chat online and do other things online
doesn't make their top-priority list."
Both Aftab and Lascoutx believe the law needs to be tweaked,
not scrapped, to make getting consent easier.
Andras Csaszar, president of Bonus.com, said hurdles for
kids could drive them to gambling and other general audience sites, which do
not fall under the law if they do not ask for age.
A study from the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the
University of Pennsylvania last May found that two-thirds of kids ages 10-17
were willing to reveal their favorite stores in exchange for a free gift. More
than one-third were willing to disclose the amount of their allowances and what
they do on weekends.
Under the law, sites could still collect those details,
but they need consent. Chat rooms and other interactive features are covered
because kids may let such details slip. The law covers only information collection,
not content restriction.
Chrissy Peters said the law would have given her comfort
when her 12-year-old daughter was younger. She used to insist on surfing the
Net together out of concerns her daughter might inadvertently reveal, "We're
going to the movies on Saturday" and later say she lives in Paramus, N.J.
The law affects sites that target or know they have young
kids who live in the United States. Violators are subject to fines of up to
Even so, many sites still are not in full compliance.
A separate Annenberg study in March found that almost half
of the 162 sites checked don't have prominent links to statements that disclose
how they use any data they collect. One in 10 had no link at all on their home
page. And some sites let kids hit the back button and enter a different birth
year if they are rejected for being under 13.
The Federal Trade Commission has held workshops and set
up telephone hotlines to help sites comply. Toby Levin, a senior FTC attorney,
believes compliance costs are often exaggerated so that sites can blame the
law for other dot-com woes.
Kathryn Montgomery, president of the Center for Media Education,
said sites may have pulled back on services, but they also pulled back on collecting
information the goal of the law.
Sites, she said, also had to rethink practices and clarify
their targeted audiences.
In addition to cutting off young kids from ICQ instant
messaging, AOL also stopped letting children use a membership directory to disclose
hobbies and other personal details about themselves.
AOL spokesman Andrew Weinstein said parents who activated
the software's kids-friendly settings already had those features blocked, and
AOL simply extended that practice to the remaining kids as well.
Meanwhile, a commerce site that targets kids without credit
cards decided to spend $100,000 to set up consent procedures. RocketCash believes
the decision will give the site a competitive advantage in pursuing partnership
deals with companies that want a broader audience.
The Direct Marketing Association, a trade group, remains
supportive even though some sites had to close or curtail services.
"We knew some would drop out," said Jerry Cerasale, senior
vice president for government affairs. "The hope was that the experience of
marketers who stayed in will be positive enough to encourage them back. The
goal was not to cut children out. We want to protect them."

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by kristie, Dec 31, 2012.
got it up here after waiting for a bit:
any thoughts?
yeah what happened to Shango.
same black and white pattern, very big male cat. Acts like a dog. Outdoor cat that hunts well.
i have no idea. :laugh1:
note to mods: just responding to what someone said. i hope that's not a problem because i don't want to get in trouble. believe me, i don't WANT to get into trouble here.
First of all, again, at least your cat seems happy. LOL.
Second, you made the argument that for us who don't want Romo to be the QB "Can Kyle Orton get the job done?". I agree that he cannot, but my whole thing is this:
The fact that we have to choose between Romo and Orton IS the problem. We have no quality options at the QB position so we just figure, ah, well Romo is the best option even if he can't win in "win or go home" situations so we'll just hope that someday he can. A good GM wouldn't allow for such Einsteinian insanity.
first of all, thank you. she is indeed happy. :laugh1:
i agree with you on the other part. no GM would allow this sort of crazy stuff that jerry jones has allowed to have happen.
