We have tried pinging Bank Of America website using our server and the website returned the above results. If bankofamerica.com is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...
If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:
Browser Related Problems
Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser :
Fix DNS Problems
A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on how to change your DNS.
When website comes up on my browser, it is in a weird format, and I am afraid to try to sign in because it looks bogus.

Unable to access via mobile app or laptop. Have been trying for over an hour.

Bank of America will not allow log on with Crome. Got in with Explora but parts of acct not acssesabill
Bank of America will not allow log on. As soon as I put in my credentials, the log on screen redisplays with all my log on info blanked out.
BofA site is not allowing log in, everytime I try to log in, it tells me that I'm logging out. Glad for this site as I see I'm not the only one.
6-4-16 at 1:10 EDT the BOA site will not accept log in - the website is not working
site down just now ? try this fantastic site while you wait .. http://www.clixsense.com/?3886808
Down and or very slow for the last 3 days. Quickbook connections also very slow and must be repeated multiple times until it works.
transfering funds outside of BOA is down
unable to access Bank of America site. Tried several links. nothing. Feb 23 - 2016, 12:42 pm PT
I can't transfer fund anywhere other than to my own accounts. It says it's temporarily unavailable. Is it just me or site wide?
Try calling your branch from the phones listed at http://www.bankbranchlocator.com/bank-of-america/
Can't log in... tried new password ect... no matter what I do no go...grrrrr only had the same PW nd user for 15 years!!
I cannot log in to the site- it is the same screen I've been seeing all weekend.
I cant even access the main page of BOFA!! Forget about online banking!
I found my branchs phone number at http://www.bankbranchlocator.com/bank-of-america/ and called them to check my account. Welcome back 90s...
I have been on hold for Customer Service for over an hour!!! I took a shower, dryed and styled my hair, put on my makeup and dressed while waiting. This is insane!! I was talking to someone who put me on hold because she had no clue how to answer my question. She cut me off and I have not been able to get a responce since!!
When I try to get a customer service number, I'm directed to a page in Spanish. The website currently shows all branches closed today, "Thursday December 25th..." It is Thursday December 24th! Have they been hacked?
Customer service phone # is not working - go through the prompts, then terminal hold for 30 min. and then disconnects.
has been a week now. page that DOES load is visual gobbledygook. little circle spinning saying "info loading" but it never loads.
I can log in but deposit is still processing and I cannot transfer funds to make mortgage payment.
is the automated phone service not working,i have been tryin g for the last three days and it keeps giving me the same,this so annoying.
After 3 minutes of trying to connect the site finally came up ( This was also after trying it 3 times as well)
Trying to access the Bank of america site and all I get is the circle of doom. I am able to go into any other site though
My account is showing a withdrawal/hold on the exact amount of my paycheck that cleared on the 12th...waited 2 hours on hold and I hung up. Big problem! ! Those funds are no longer available to me. What is going on? Check your accounts people
BofA 20140617 09:01 ET - secure login site is accessible but loops waiting for response... (secure.bankofamerica.com)
in CT USA almost 11 pm. Login was slow site stalled. 3rd try: BOA website not offering normal credit card link. or billpay activity
Cannot login. Enter the username, goes to the password page. Enter my password and it goes right back to the main login page.
Have been attempting to set up a new savings account online, at the website and every time I go to fill out the info. It greys out the whole screen. Guess they want me to take my accounts else where for a more seamless experience.
every time i log in one of my accounts is missing, cannot see all of the accounts or transfer money.?
Can access my account online and couldn't use my credit card... yet i have no email saying my account is on hold. What is going on?
as usual when I try to sign in to pay my bill the web site will not accept my user ID, identity verification, then it locks me out! this happens all the time.Also "live chat" is DEAD chat, not available. "WE are trying to fix the problem, "
Edit: I changed my browser to google chrome and after setting up new identity questions and new site key it let me in to pay my bill. all in all I have spent one hour on this. Would never do business with them again after my account is paid off.
Was just told by Verizon FIOS support that the Outage is only in Texas at at this point and ETR is 2:00 ET today. Issue is a DNS problem within Verizon's network.
This is a Verizon problem currently. I turned off WiFi on my mobile devices and the site functioned perfectly. FIOS must have decided not to put all the money they charge us in a BofA account!!! Hehehe!
I was able to log in earlier today, but as of 10 minutes prior to this comment, the site has not loaded. My internet is perfectly fine as I am here, telling you about it while watching youtube.
Edit: Crisis averted, it's back up.
Still down 3 days later. Both the main page and secure authentication page time out. At least the mobile apps are working today. Still can't download transactions. This is getting pretty damned old.
have been trying to get to the BofA site all day with no success using any browser and my Android tablet does not get there either. The twist is that our laptop will! Verizon Fios Land O Lakes FL
I have been trying to get onto Bank of America website off and on all day in Texas and it is not reachable via computer.
Just got off the phone with "verizon FiOS support" and they confirmed an outage impacting parts of the southeast and southwest regions. It does not effect 3G/4G wireless connections, and there are a number of sites in a specific IP range that are impacted. In true Verizon fashion, they have no ETA for resolution...
I cannot open the site from Tampa (FiOS) but am able to using my company's Comcast service.
The trace is failing at Prolexic, which is a DDoS (distributed denial of service) protection service. Either BoA is under a DDoS attack, or prolexic is having issues. Does not appear to be a BoA issue per se.

Unable to connect mobile or via web last night and this morning. On with BoA tech folks now, they have no idea... Anyone else using Verizon?
I can get to the login screen on both the website and the app, but anything after that leads to an "unavailable" error message.
yes no matter what it said about working fine online access is NOT WORKING. AT HOME AT WORK OR MOBIL. all day 2/24/14 and still not working
https://secure.bankofamerica.com - unable to log in all morning. Main site is up. Authentication not working.
It's back up. And please everyone stop posting where you live!! The whole point of sites like IIDRN.com is to tell whether or not the site is down for EVERYONE, regardless of your location. If their servers are really down, they're down for everyone.
Called Wells Fargo today. No waiting time, problem solved in less than three minutes. Kudos to Wells Fargo. Service quick and not always down like B of A. Thanks people at Wells Fargo for your good service. Use your card in future.
This was a bundled contract sale including all my New Mexico and Arizona ocean-front properties - I just forgot to sign the closing papers correctly.
BofA TOO BIG TO EXIST ... A smaller local bank would have impacted a far smaller number of people! Break it dow into small rational business!!!
best to boycott Bank of America until they vastly improve the service. Most big box banks are not down that often. You want to deal with a bizarre number of switches and holding time, call for service and you will come to know the level of service in the U.S.S.R. No need to go there.
Site is down in Tampa, FL... has been for several hours. Is there any official word on why this is happening? Has the site been hacked?
Down in Wisconsin. Did anyone receive a message this morning by email that says your Bank of America credit card information may have been compromised? I am trying to view my account online to see if there was any suspicious activities but I am unable to even look at it. The email said they are automatically shutting down my card as of February 13, 2014 but I should be receiving a new card in the next few days. Did anyone else receive this?
forget about it I will not use services at B of A unless they get their act together. Thinking about a switch to another bank. Tired of being embarrassed by constant down times.
Yup. it's down. Reminds me of the old days when we actually had to go to the bank to go to the bank.. Now comes the fun part of watching people have a complete meltdown because the are not getting the instant gratification they are used to.
8:45 am in CA, site loads but looks weird, like an old basic screen. Has it been hacked? I'm not going to use it until it returns to normal
idiots, their site is always down, its time to get some new IT/Network Techs and Fire your existing team.
As of Wednesday early a.m. the 11th of December, my iMac could not load online banking after starting three browsers (Firefox, Chrome and Safari). Google online banking links would not load. Three BofA technical support people told me they'd get back to my report numbers in 4-5 days. I told them it's "UNACCEPTABLE"! We are in Durango, CO.
Really who are the techs responsible for maintaining these servers, this is why major corporations need to hire server techs with experience in the field not just a degree. i knew i shoulve banked with chase.
Bank of America application is seemed to be not responding. Following is the message I am seeing "The serve where this page is located isn't responding'
It's not recognizing my online ID and when I go to reset it using my SSN, it says it does not recognize it. I called the automated service line and entered the same info and I had no problem.
their transfer function does not work for two days in a row, and their pohone lines are so busy I cannot get through to even discuss it!

Same here John. I think I'm going to change banks. This is ridiculous. And I find out via Foxnews that they were hit by a cyber attack. I'd sure rather hear it from my bank instead. www.foxbusiness.com/industries/2012/09/18/bank-america-web...
Site acting weird, presented account data in dos-looking format. Now thinks I don't have an account, although presented with login info w/ proper site key etc. Response time very slow.
it's def down... getting this message

SRVE0255E: A WebGroup/Virtual Host to handle www.bankofamerica.com:443 has not been defined.
I can not sign-in today. This is for home personal. Message says that their bandwidth limit exceeded. They need to increase/update bandwidth
When access bill pay from your account, you get a blank page... IE8... downloaded firefox for windows and was able to use that browser to access all of my account and information... no problem... looks like browser related.
i cannot access my bank, nor their email address, also the telephone cannot go through kindly give me the branch email address, ballard branch in seattle wa.98107
Bank of America's online banking has given me the same "This site is temporarily unavailable...." message for the past six days...
site is down now.
This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address https://www.bankofamerica.com is correct.
Can't get in via web site or mobile app.
"We are temporarily unable to perform this function. Please try again later. "
Having same issue. Can log in but with limited info. If I click billpay it says i dont not have an eligible account. Freaked me out til I saw the post 40 mins from mine... at least im not alone lol.
Login is not working. Comes back with logoff succesful when it should be going to accounts. Quicken access is also failing - never completes.
BofA website and mobile app are down... They also "lost" a picture app deposit a couple days ago after confirming the deposit and allowing a transfer to go through... WTF!!!
Time to move to a local bank. This is NUTS! Why can't they fix their server problems? They certainly can afford it.
They have serious DNS issues. Site unavailable again. This happens 1 out of 5 times I go to their site.
I can not get past anything but basic information. Whenever I attempt to, even something as simple as "contact us" I get an internal server error.
Tried to access B of Am on iPhone using my Safari bookmark page but it times me out. Using the B of Am app I was able to log in by answering a security question, however, I have 3 bills to pay and the app appears to allow only one at a time, so I'll wait for the regular site to come back online. B of Am should post when they're down and give a time estimate of when online banking will be available again. Bad customer service by not being pro active.
We have the largest cyber attack ever going on right now that's probably the reason it's down. It said that a lot of the banking institutions would be affected by this.
bankofamerica.com is down for at least last hour from Germany. Mobile application works from iPhone.
I am having trouble even getting the first page up for the website. I have been having this issue for the past 2 hours.
Why do I keep getting "too busy to show the webpage" error messages when I try to sign in? The main page is up, but not the signin page!
I'm in Spain and it's been down for hours... what's frustrating is that nothing is being reported on it.
BoA is not working in Dubai... trying to access for the past half hour. Its 9:25pm Dubai time... I am able to log in, verify my SiteKey but can't see my accounts.
BOA isn't loading well here in Thailand. It's 1:00pm Thursday February 21, 2013 Thai time. Please note.
cant sign in to any online banking or recieve mobile statements? the website doesnt even load and says we are unable to perform this function. i need my money.
Sun. Feb. 10th, 8:00. Able to sign in but not able to transfer funds from ANY accounts. Had to use the phone automated service. Went back to the site and did a live chat... they are aware of the technical. I am sooooo sick and tired of their outages.
OK it just let me in through back door SIGN-IN link accessed top right of screen after you click on Site Map at bottom of Home Page. This time it successfully sent me the Safe Code. I was able to do the transfer. But all these tech problems with BofA are shaking mny confidence with BofA.
So they close Customer Support at 3 pm PST on Sunday and you cannot phone anyone for help. Then they lock you out of your accounts and prevent you from transferring needed money from your own account to another of your own accounts. How about doing upgrades and maintenance work late nights when fewer customers will need access to THEIR money BofA???
safepass is not working. It displays an error. I cannot get into my account using ANY link with Firefox browser, Safarie, IE or my phone. I was in it for a minute before it booted me out trying to transfer funds from one account to another and it would not do the funds transfer. Then it booted me out. Now I am locked out in every sense.
I cannot log in via standard means, it says "sign off successful" after entering password. However, Using the "backdoor" method posted during the last crash does at least let me view my account amounts. I can't get past that point though. When I click on the account to view details I get an error message and the acct info disappears. (multiple attempts) I'm worried about hacking and such now, this is happening too often. There's also the problems created by being locked out of your accounts when you need to do banking. IF the tools they give us regularly fail to their advantage, the issue becomes suspect. I'm not typically paranoid, but this is sending up red flags all over the place.

Fountain Inn prepares for a week filled with excitement and Christmas Spirit. The Spirit Of Christmas Past comes alive in downtown Fountain Inn during the next couple of weeks. Proclaiming itself as the "Inn Place To Be", Fountain Inn opens it's doors to all it's friends and neighbors across the upstate.
Wednesday, December 7th, at 5 p.m. the annual parade will begin it's journey down Fountain Inn's Main Street. The streets will be filled with excited children and adults as they come to enjoy the local talent including high school marching bands, dance troupes, martial artists, and specialty groups in addition to colorful floats.
After the parade head over to the Fountain Inn Farmer's Market Pavilion to the out door ice skating rink. Here is this year's schedule at the ice skating rink:
December 7th after the parade
December 8th – 11th from 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM
December 15th – 23rd from 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM
December 26th – 30th from 5:30 PM – 9:30 PM
What has proven to be one of the most exciting parts of the Spirit Of Christmas Past is the horse drawn carriage rides around town. Horse drawn carriages are brought up from Charleston and offer carriage rides around town, down Fountain Inn's Main Street and this year through Inn Circle, a popular city subdivision.
Lanterns, luminaries, Percheron Draft Horses touring guests by carriage on a one mile route of beautifully decorated homes for the holiday's. One quarter of a mile along the route, Harper and Caroline's home is a vision of Whoville. You might see Cindy-Lou, but can you find the Grinch? He's in the neighborhood….you'll have to search really hard. When it comes down to it, guests to Fountain Inn will see that the Grinch hasn't stolen the the Spirit of Christmas from Fountain Inn!
Carriage rides will run December 8-11 and 15-18 from 5:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.
The spirit of Christmas is not lost in the small town flair. Fountain Inn goes above and beyond to celebrate The Spirit of Christmas Past. A two week event that is sure to bring joy to the season and fun to the family.

Moms across the country are using charity as an excuse to squeeze back into their old prom dresses.
More than 100 women dressed in retro sequins and satin broke it down at the sixth annual Mom Prom in suburban Detroit last week.
The ladies-only crowd dined, danced to '80s music and voted on prizes such as "tackiest dress."
The event raised more than $3,000 for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and the HHT Foundation, which fights to cure a genetic disorder that causes blood vessel abnormalities, according to the Associated Press.
"Mom proms" are growing in popularity. Last year's Seattle prom boasted an "awesome DJ," drinks, dinner, photos, prizes, tiarras and more, according to an online invitation decorated with doodles of stars and hearts.
Another event is scheduled for April in Middletown, N.Y. and interest is popping up in Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania, founder Betsy Crapps told the AP.
Mom Prom was started by Crapps, 41, in Caton Township, Mich., as an excuse to wear her puffy pink prom number one more time.
She held a party with dinner and dancing at her church, charged women $10 to attend and ended the night with an $820 check for the local homeless shelter.

This lesson is designed to be taught after an introduction to immigration history or as a culminating activity. This is a hands-on, technology-based lesson that relates a student's individual immigration history to the boom of immigration in the late 1800's through the early 1900's. This lesson also gives students insight into the rise of anti-immigrant feelings in the United States during this time period.

The Virtual Wall Vietnam Veterans War Memorial brings you the list of causalities online organized by location. It is easy to browse, and I think an amazing way to remember those whose lives were lost if you can't visit the Vietnam Wall Memorial in person.
There are two ways to browse: you can select a state or location from the main selection area, or you can click Find a Name and select a way to search from. Some of your options on the drop down menu are: Last Name, Wall Panels by Date, State and City, Height of Valor, Faces of Freedom, By Military Unit, and more.
If you can't find a name that you are looking for be sure to check out the Name Not Found option on the drop down menu. There you will get a list full of different ways that you can search for the name, and who to contact if you still can't find it and it should be there.
I figured with Memorial Day coming up this month that it wouldn't hurt to start remembering those who gave their lives in service a little early.

Keep Potter plot quiet
Page Tools
Harry Potter
Photo: Supplied
A handful of Canadians who got a sneak peak at the latest Harry Potter book have been ordered by a judge to keep it a secret and not even read it.
The book was sold to 14 people who snagged a copy of J.K. Rowlings' much anticipated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when it landed on shelves last Thursday at a local grocery store.
The book, officially set for release this Saturday, has been shrouded in secrecy and its debut has been highly orchestrated to enable everyone - readers, reviewers, even publishers - to crack it open all at once. It's the sixth in Rowling's seven-book fantasy series on the young wizard.
But the store slipped up and sold 14 copies before realising its mistake.
"It was an inadvertent error on behalf of one of our staff," said Geoff Wilson, a spokesman for the Real Canadian Superstore. He said the books were quickly removed.
British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Kristi Gill last Saturday ordered customers not to talk about the book, copy it, sell it or even read it before it is officially released at 12:01am on Saturday.
The order also compels them to return the novel to the publisher, Raincoast Book Distribution Ltd., until the official release. It will then be returned to them.
As an added incentive, Raincoast will include Rowling's autograph and a gift pack.
Jamie Broadhurst, the director of marketing of Raincoast, said a small number of "honourable Harry Potter fans" have returned their copies. He wouldn't say how many.
"It is a small number that is continuing to increase," Broadhurst said. "We have been tremendously gratified in the response so far."

Re: Mathematica 8 & reports / books
However, "Mathematica Navigator" is not a good buy for Mathematica 8: it
was written for Mathematica 6 (with what would seem like last-minute
add-ons to bring things up-to-date for Mathematica 7). And it explicitly
warns, "Because version 6 differs so much from earlier versions, this
book cannot practically be used with older versions...." That's from
the 2009 Third Edition; is there a newer one?
Also, what the section "Acknowledgments" near the end of the Preface
says about producing the book from Mathematica is minimal: each chapter
was a separate notebook; the notebooks were joined by the Authortools
package; and the index (and the HelpBrowser version of the book) were
generated also using AuthorTools.
Moreover, so far as I can tell, the AuthorTools package no longer works
with Mathematica 8. At least when I try to create a new project after
specifying its name, target directory, and selected files in the target
directory, I keep getting an error message (which is truncated in the
error window that opens).

With the ban on herbicides in urban Ontario, my lawn has become a flourishing ecosystem of grass, weeds, wildlife and bugs. Even the toads are making a comeback!
This juvenile cottontail is enjoying the white clover that has sprung up.
I had forgotten that ban was on! Neat that you're seeing a difference. :) Thanks for adding this to the Animals in Urbania Project.
(And I went to UoG, so it's really cool to see some other observations in the area!)
Yes - cottontails, and almost as exciting, the toads are back, too! I even have a pansy in there that seems to have self seeded from some pots on the patio a year or two ago! So unless the lawn becomes a dandelion monoculture, I'm thrilled with the herbicide ban. (And I'm a Guelph grad, too - lived all over Canada and ended up back here.)

Hi to all Spike's Catster friends
I want to let you know that Spike died 11/18 in the morning. He had cardiomyopathy. I took him to the vet the day before thinking he had upper resp and that's what the vet thought then as well. She gave me some antibiotics and told me to try to stimulate his appetite with baby food. Well, I got a pill down him and then I wound up with food poisoning and spent the bulk of the night either puking or feeling like I was going to. Spike declined pretty rapidly and made that yowling sound that I have only heard once before and I knew that meant death was imminent. We went back to the vet Saturday morning where they took a chest x-ray. I held him while we waited for the film to develop and he made that sound again and started squirming, so I helped him get back into his carrier. About 30 seconds later he was gone. I never in my life thought I would want to hold and hug a dead animal but I didn't want to let him go. Trust me, I'm still being dragged kicking and screaming into the realization that he's never going to nudge me for pets or brushing again. I miss my little dude so much. I hope he was happy here and that he felt safe and loved!!! He had such a rough start to life and truly deserved a wonderful life. I hope he's happy in kitty heaven and being shown the ropes by his friends that got there before him. I hope he never has those fears that his feral instinct wouldn't let go. He was just a great cat and I love him so much!!!
Spike's mom
Alright. I have not written in my diary for some time and now I am writing to complain. Mom took me to the vet for my "check up." What's to check up? I'm handsome, have a great big, fluffy tail! I didn't like it last year and I didn't like it this year and I know I won't like it next year. I don't get why she keeps taking me. I tell her in no uncertain terms that I do not wish to go. We saw a different man this time. He poked and prodded and gave me *gasp* a shot!!!! I sure wish I knew what was in those syringes before they get stabbed into my flesh! Then, mom asked if he would trim my nails. Oh yes, he said. Rats!!!! I was so mad at my mom when I got home, I didn't talk to her for hours. She knew I was mad too. I left the room whenever she came in, scooting by her really fast. Then, she took out a comb. I LOVE to be brushed and combed. I tried my best to resist the temptation, but the lure of being combed was too strong. I gave in and let her comb me. Of course, I kept almost out of reach so it would be really a stretch for her, but I figured she should work hard to make up to me for the morning's horror. After about 10 minutes, I totally melted and hopped in her lap so I could get a nice, proper combing. I am such a pushover!

Why was there a sudden drop in the incidence of leprosy at the end of the Middle Ages? To answer this question, biologists and archeologists reconstructed the genomes of medieval strains of the pathogen responsible for the disease, which they exhumed from centuries old human graves. Their results, published in the journal Science, shed light on this obscure historical period and introduce new methods for understanding epidemics.

Scrolls by Hadieh Shafie
A new exhibit at Leila Heller Gallery features the work of nine artists all working within three mediums: rock, paper and scissors. In the "rock" section, you'll find a bust by Jackson Pollock and abstract sculptures by American sculptor Louise Nevelson, such as a safe door that looks metal but is actually wood. "Nevelson's work stands as a constant reminder of how the human brain functions when confronted with the familiar that has been appropriated into something unfamiliar altogether," write the curators in the catalog.
In "paper," look for Iranian artist Hadieh Shafie's scrolls made of thousands and thousands of colorful layers of paper.

US News: Opportunities in Afterschool Programs Abound for STEM Education
Experts argue that if properly utilized and made more accessible, afterschool programs have the potential to broaden the STEM reach.
Jodi Grant, the CEO of the Afterschool Alliance notes the sophistication of some of the programs. For example, "kids are designing paper airplanes, learning chemistry through cooking, [and] we have kids who are using computers to redesign their neighborhoods," she says.
However, the funding for these programs is not always there. Linda Rosen, CEO of Change the Equation, says "corporate America has been willing to invest in afterschool programs, but is often unsure if the monetary contributions they are making influence STEM education in the right way. There's a tension in the corporate world between patience and urgency. Corporate America wants to enact change immediately, but education doesn't work that way."
According to the Afterschool Alliance, there are 8.4 million students participating in afterschool programs across the nation. However, the Alliance says that the parents of 18 million students would enroll their students if they could.

Is Olivier Martinez having sympathy pains? The French actor — and Halle Berry's boyfriend — was spotted walking with a crutch in Paris just one week after Berry broke her leg.
We're not sure what kind of incident caused Martinez's gangsta lean, but we do know that, between Berry and her beau, crutches have never looked sexier.

New urbanism is a type of urbanization. In new urbanism, everything is built so that it's in walking distance of other things mostly such as Winn Dixie and McDonald's in Callahan.
laura c's curator insight, May 13, 2:18 AM
In this case food is being imported and grown within cities in order to support the growing number of people. These characteristics of the article touch on movement and interaction in order to change and adapt to their land, to live. This article also states that farmers have to keep up with technology and adapt to the changes. People in struggling country's use everything they can to help them for example waste isn't waste it's compost. Urban cities are doing their best to survive form having local farms to creating arable land in the hard to farm places.

Can Zaphs notch filter be used without the BSC filter?
I'm not sure if they react with one another or I can simply use his notch filter. I'm going to try my hand at a spherical enclosure so his BSC would definantly not work for me. Also, to save enclosure volume, can I place the filter externally? Does distance matter?

+ 1 on hair properties.
Many of us started out with Deva, thought we like it and then moved on to other things as we learned more. My salon has Deva products, I used to let them use the NoPoo, but after they changed the ingredients a few years ago--it made it really dry. I had to lowpoo to get it back to normal. I later discovered that my hair doesn't care for polyquats--the NoPoo and One C have polyquat 7. I was told that polyquats don't build up but I had to use a stronger surfactant to "remove" them and get my hair back. Otherwise, products just "sat" on my hair and didn't get absorbed.
My hair seems to prefer the products from the online "boutique" type companies. I'd suggest that you clarify and then try to use products without a lot of chemicals.

Each year shops, restaurants and other local businesses in Bar Harbor depend on tourism.
This concept is nothing new.
"For hundreds of years our people have come to bar harbor to set up and sell to the tourists so it's continuing that tradition," explains Jennifer Neptune, Director of Maine Indian Basket Makers Alliance.
The annual Native American and Basketmaking Festival is more than just preserving culture.
"All of them count on this market as part of their economy, as part of their livelihood," says Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko, President and CEO of the Abbe Museum. "So while it's fun and exciting to be here and see the art and see the demonstrations and see the dancing its equally important to engage and purchase and take home something for yourself and others because it matters."
Maine's Native Americans hand-made products captivate locals and visitors.
"It's a real unique opportunity to buy directly from the artist and get some really amazing work," Neptune says.
Especially when the handiwork has a contemporary twist.
"There are some really amazing artists that are really pushing these art forms to the next level."
Several artists at the festival received national honors – two have even been awarded prestigious fellows from the National Endowment of the Arts.
Interest in the trade, as well as sales, both help to keep Maine's Native American culture alive.
"We've been practicing it here in this land for thousands and thousands of years and its important to us," Neputne shares. It helps us keep our values and our relationship with the land and the earth and the plants and trees we use to create the art and so it's a way of maintaining the strength of the culture and passing it on to the next generation."
The Abbe Museum, Maine Indian Basket Maker's Alliance and College of the Atlantic put this festival on each year. It's the state's largest Native American gathering. Artists say it's not only a prime time for sales, but also a highly anticipated reunion with the Native American community.

Guys and Gals,
Anybody know the official Lucasfilm name for Fetts ESB (Nemrod speargun) sidearm? Is there even one?
Guys and Gals,
Anybody know the official Lucasfilm name for Fetts ESB (Nemrod speargun) sidearm? Is there even one?
I've looked for this blaster myself, and I can't find many details on it.
I have looked and all I can find Is -Sidearm- or -Pistol- I've also heard it Called a Bespin Security Blaster, but never an actualy specific name.
I have also heard it be called the Bespin Security Gun, but I lack in finding a true technical name such as, "EE-3."cal196 said:
I'm sure we'd all like to find out what it's called when/if we ever do! Does it even have a name? That's a big question in my head.
Thanks for trying guys. I know...It was very frustrating looking and coming up with nothing. I was just hoping that one of the Fett experts here knew something more about it.
I`ll keep trying..
Thanks again..
Technically none of this stuff really have names. Did you ever hear the rifle in any movie ever be referred to as an EE-3, or the ST blasters being called E-11's, or Han's blaster being called DL-44?
All of the names on the props in the movies are merely the work of someone coming up with something that sounds like whatever it is would be called.
Most people other than us really even notice the existence of Boba's sidearm in ESB so it is doubtful that there really is an "official name." I would say we should have a contest to see who can come up with the best sounding gun designation that hasn't already been used on something else, and we'll call that the official name.
what about sa-5 for the side arm in episode 5 or esb-2 for bobas secoond gun or BH-11 for bounty hunter and put on the 11 for no reason. just a thought for fun!
The only reason we know Boba Fett's Blaster and Jet Pack is because it was in the technical Dictionary, an offical book of the movies.
None of his weapons have anysort of nickname, like Hellboy's Samaritan.
But If I was gonna name His sidearm it would probably be -Westar-33- because it looks older and less powerful than Jango's Blaster, but look kinda like the same design. Maybe Its one of Jango's old blasters he left with his old suit before he upgraded
"A Field Guide to Boba Fett's Mandalore Armour" (on the Reference CD) refers to it as "a concussion grenade launcher".

Yup, JFJ is right again.
I thought that was the Pre-Pro blaster?Jango_Fett_Jr said:
It was a laser blaster in the Holiday Special.
how about...the "nintendo Zapper Zapper"
Those must be some awfully small concussion grenades.
Looks like he's shooting lasers to me.
Well, the Bespin Security blaster is the Relby k-23. . . but it is not the same blaster as Boba's sidearm.GCNgamer128 said:
How about "lucky"
I know it´s not the same, but in the comic "twin engines of destruction" Jodo use a similar gun, to shoot to a door and it´s explode (like it´s was a concussion grenade launcher").
that what I think it is......
I haven't downloaded this or watched it, but in this still does anybody think the base gun resembles the Mauser?GCNgamer128 said:
Boba's rifle is more of a grenade launcher than any small pistol. I still firmly believe in the Holiday Special over a book.
Wait wait, we're citing the Holiday Special over LFL literature?
I believe it as canon, whether Lucas likes it or not, it happened.
Also in the Holiday Special, it was seen, and used. In ESB it was at his side and very few people knew it was there.

i think i'd call it fluffy.
this is boba fett, deadliest bounty hunter in the world. if he points fluffy at you, know that you are going to be disintegrated.
yeah, definitely fluffy.
maybe i should glue some maribou to my armor.

Noone thinks it resembles Jango's?
I thought it did, it might have been modeled after Boba's side arm. I wouldn't be surprised if we could take the rubies Jango and make a replica of the Fett side arm.cal196 said:

Black Homeownership Hits 18 Year Low

Obama's election in 2008 has proven to be the biggest economic undoing of the black community throughout the nation. Employment and homeownership, both signs of prosperity, are at an all time low with no recovery in sight. Obama's decision to focus on doling out entitlements and restructuring our economy from a capitalist system to a socialist system is at the root of America's woes. What needs to be done to put America back to work is being ignored and summarily dismissed by this administration.

Retiring cop suspended for wrong uniform
By Brendan McCarthy
The Times-Picayune (New Orleans)
NEW ORLEANS — With minutes left in the last shift of his 35-year New Orleans police career, Sgt. Bobby Guidry received a call from a supervisor telling him he had been suspended for wearing the wrong uniform shirt, the veteran officer said.
The Police Department confirmed the censure Tuesday, though it quibbled with the term "suspended." Rather, Guidry is "under investigation for wearing the wrong uniform," said Police Department spokesman Bob Young.

Three cheers for Oprah Winfrey in establishing the Leadership Academy for Girls—South Africa. Isn't it wonderful?—this business of Blacks taking charge of the taking care of Blacks; this idea of not sitting, bowl in hand, at the pity-pity-poor-boy end of other people's table; of not seeking the approval of others in order to do what's right for our current and future generations; and, most awesome of all, this business of seeing the Black community as one that extends beyond the physical and cultural borders of this or that continent, this or that country, and this or that island.
As is customary in February, we reflect on the wrenching sacrifices and contributions of people of African descent in the United States. It is cause for celebration that some of us, thanks to those sacrifices and contributions, have become so wealthy that we can afford to finance a $40 million-plus school for 152 of the most wretched little girls on earth and stock it with nice things like beds, 200-thread-count sheets and fluffy duvets, a beauty salon, a yoga studio, computer and science labs, indoor and outdoor theaters, fireplaces and roomy closets. It is even greater cause for celebration when one of us actually does so, sour noises notwithstanding, so that those little girls can turn their minds to becoming leaders instead of worrying about keeping warm on a South African winter's night.
Surely, all the comfy things that are good for the goose are just as good for the gander, wherever the gander may roam.
Of no less significance than Oprah's Academy and all that she has quietly done in the Black community of the United States is the work of Stephen Carryl, M.D., Roy Streete, D.D.S. and so many others, like Lenny and Joy Grant, founders of Loving Hands of Hope, www.bylovinghands.com [3], who are increasingly taking charge of the taking care of Black people in and outside the US. We highlight this trend in health care in the cover story and industry focus of this issue of TNJ. It's a trend that illustrates what Michelle Quiles refers to as "distributed leadership," where, she says, "there is no single leader, no savior coming, but everyone is a leader and acts that way."
Quiles is the founder and chief executive of Female Think Inc., an online personal growth and learning source for women. At the beginning of the year, we spoke of leadership and responsibility: Whose responsibility is it to change our fate? Ours. In Quiles' words, "Those who are in a position to effect change, whether financially or through their own influence. The responsibility is ours and we have to keep sharing that theme."
And whose responsibility is it to tell the stories of those who effect such change? Again, ours. "We have to return to our culture of oral history; we must become oral story tellers, telling our children the stories of our past and how we got to where we are."
So here's to Oprah and to the expanding nucleus of enlightened thinkers and doers. How do they spell leadership? B-T-C-T-C-B, Blacks taking charge of the taking care of Blacks.
Sour noises notwithstanding.

Bristleworms/Fireworms Friend or Foe
Donated by Cathyj on 4/14/2006
I will use Bristleworms to reference both Bristleworms and Fireworms.
Bristleworms range in size from small (about 1" long) up to very large
at about 20" in length. Most small ones are an orange color, sometime
appearing two-tone in color. Larger bristleworms are frequently gray or
brownish in color. Bristleworms are composed of many segments and have
bristles (setae) which extend from both sides of its body along its entire
length, hence their common name. These setae are clearly visible in the picture
above. Their bodies produce red blood, and many species have hemoglobin.
Bristle worms live in the sand or within the live rock, their larvae mostly
float in the plankton. They are nocturnal and not usually seen during the day.
Toxic Sting:
Bristleworms are toxic, if you discover worms in your tank that look like
wooly- caterpillars, don't touch them with your bare hands! Use a pair of
latex rubber gloves to protect yourself from a painful sting. If you do touch
bristleworms, the long, hollow and brittle setae usually break off and embed
themselves into your fingers. Once imbedded the setae cause inflammation, irritation,
itching and numbness from the toxin they contain. If you do get stung by a
bristleworm, DO NOT rub or scratch the injured area, you'll only make it worse,
and possibly spread the irritation. Use a piece of masking or duct tape to
carefully remove all the bristles you can, and then soak the affected area with
rubbing alcohol, or better yet, a dilute ammonia solution (10 parts water to 1 part
household ammonia). If available, meat tenderizer is supposed to work
exceptionally well, but I have never tried this myself.
Good or Bad?:
Originally bristleworms were all considered to be bad. Most literature warns
that they can attack and eat clams, anemones, corals and even fish.
Recently, most hobbyists have come to the conclusion that small bristle
worms pose no threat to other tank inhabitants and are in fact good scavengers
and add to the biodiversity of the tank. The worms as well as their larva also
serve as a food source for larger invertebrates and fish. You can even buy
bristleworms from some sources. Large bristleworms are starting to be better
understood also. Some large bristleworms can be aggressive predators, however,
this is not the norm. Many large bristleworms seem to fall into the harmless
scavenger category.
Look for bristle worms at night with a flashlight to see if they are present
in your tank. Feeding the tank in the evening will sometimes cause them to come
out and feed. Capturing large bristleworms, can be difficult. They are primarily
nocturnal but will come out when you feed the tank. They should not be captured by
hand due to the toxins in their setae which can puncture the skin. One way to capture
them is to place a rock with a hollow on the bottom side onto the sand in the
evening. Put a piece of shrimp into the hollow to as bait. The next day the rock
can be removed and the worms will come out with the rock. There are also traps
available on the market. There are also some biological controls. Several species
of Wrasses, Copperbanded Butterflyfish, Banded Coral Shrimp and Arrow Crabs are all
suppose to eat bristleworms, but I doubt that they will eat the large ones which are
the only ones to possibly be concerned about. My recommendation is to leave them
alone unless you have reason to believe they are causing damage. Also be aware that
when an animal, such as a clam dies, the bristle worms will frequently feed on the
carcass as will any scavenger. Many people misunderstand that the worms are only
scavenging and falsely assume that the worms killed the clam or other specimen.

Black grille
To get or not???
Does anyone have pics of their ride with the black kidneys they'd like to share so I can take a peek?
2 Attachment(s)
Do it!!
I did it because I didn't like the chrome. I wish all BMW's were blacked out
and then it was your decision to go chrome.:D That's just me though.
Can't remember which vendor at Bimmerfest I got them from, It was over
two years ago.
The real question is a Matte finish, or carbon fiber, or shiny black. Some people
even powder coat the stock chrome ones.
Here's what the factory BMW glossy grills look like. The bezel is glossy and the ribs are matte...
2 Attachment(s)
I think the black grilles look better when the car has the M5Tech or MTech bumper. Those bumpers have a large black grille area underneath the kidney grilles, which makes the two grilles match better together. The stock grille (not sure what it's called) is more silver and it doesn't look as good.
Here's what I'm talking about but the shot wit the original grille doesn't have black grilles yet on it but hopefully you see my point.
Titanium gray
I'm thinking the same but mine is Carbon Black and wonder how it would look on that color. If I did go with it I think I would go with glossy black and the matted ribs.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Bimmer App
Hey guys what color would go with Jet Black.. (Should i leave it Chrome or change it to black grill)
I like mine
1 Attachment(s)
I like mine. Gloss black. $40
I ordered a set of matte black grilles. They should be here Friday :)
I think the black looks better than chrome because the window trim is black. My 330 had the chrome window trim so I left the grille chrome.
Ya I have BMW 330i and it is black with chrome trim around windows and I like chrome better. I don't like the black rimes on cars at all they look dirty. Lol

I bought space grey to match my vehicle. Love them!

Do it. I've blacked all mine out. Love it.

I'm in. I have the carbon black metallic. Where can i order one from. Thx
I did not get mine on Ebay. I got mine a long time ago and frankly can't remember where but I know I've seen them on Ebay.
BMW Dealer
You can order from BMW at about 60-80 bucks or Bavarian autosport for $100

Front Grill Set - Matte Black
Part # : E60G 04 $ 99.95
.................................................. .................................................. ...............
Just go to eBay and look for "e60 matte black kidney" and you'll get a bunch of them for < $50 no problem. I bought mine from there and they look great, fit perfect and are very high quality.
Thx fellas. i know my next question has been discussed alot, I just need a good recommendation on a bright set of AE's. Any ideas? Thanks again.
way to highjack the thread Gila06...
ohh yeah
Black on black on black there is a before and after...
Black grills are sportier
Matter of opinion
One of the guys with a 2011 5 series did a hybrid... he had the matte black grill but changed it out... He mixed the black outer housing with the factory inner grill and I think it looks very good as well. I am thinking of going the same route as well on my carbon black....
I just ordered a pair of matte black grills for my e60. My car is carbon black. They should look great on the car after they are installed. Did any of you have any issues installing the grills?

Is forehead contouring a common surgery? And how often do you do it?Nearly 15 years ago, forehead contouring surgeries were not as common as they are now. During that time, most forehead contouring procedures were done on patients who met with car accidents which caused permanent indentation or forehead irregularity from dents or breaks in the forehead bone. Moreover, patients who had prior surgery for forehead irregularities or who had suffered gunshot wounds were subjected to forehead contouring surgery during that time.
As time passed by, the scope of patients on which forehead contouring surgery was performed extended from medical to cosmetic reasons. As such, forehead contouring surgery was not only performed on injured patients but also on patients who wanted to improve the shape of their foreheads strictly for cosmetic reasons.
Implants and Substances
Even from those days, plastic surgeons have been using either bone cement or silicone implants to achieve their desired aesthetic result from a forehead contouring surgery. However, some surgeons believe that silicone implants are much less reliable than bone cement. These implants sometimes tend to accumulate fluid and move around in the forehead resulting in an unpleasant appearance. Moreover, in some cases, the size and/or the border of these implants become clearly visible, causing an abnormal and unaesthetic appearance. In contrast, when bone cement is used, it sticks right to the bone, enabling the surgeon to effectively smooth out the entire forehead without any visible borders. As a result, a normal and aesthetic appearance is achieved.
Good Candidates
The ideal candidates for forehead contouring surgery are patients who have misshaped, sloping, indented, depressed, or irregular foreheads which cause an unaesthetic appearance. Results achieved through a forehead contouring surgery markedly improve the aesthetic appearance of the forehead which in turn enhances the entire facial appearance of the patient.

Dr. Kwan is by far the most talented surgeon I have EVER crossed paths with. I came to Dr. Kwan after an under eye fat transplant, performed 'by another' plastic surgeon, which deformed my face. It was only until I was under Dr.Kwan's care that the deformity was corrected. Dr. Kwan literally gave me back my beauty. This was a priceless feeling. That was about 4 years ago, I can assure you ever since- Dr. Kwan is the ONLY plastic surgeon I trust my face and body to. I look forward to my body contouring procedure coming up in a few weeks!! :)

The staff treated me very kindly, with respect and genuine smiles. Dr Kwan is a real professional in my opinion. He took the time to listen to my story, addressed my concerns and took his time to walk me through the process and give me his opinion and explanation on his recommendation. I had my surgery in his practice and we went over everything again before I met up with the anesthesiologist, who was equally as nice and professional as everyone else at his practice. We started counting bikes ... and after bike #6 I fell a sleep. When I woke up, he was there to tell me I did great and before I knew it I was in a taxi cab back home with my best friend who came to pick me up. So I don't know if this is typical, but I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery. . I am very very happy with the results. Dr Kwan did an amazing job and I couldn't be more pleased.

I was involved in an automobile accident last May, 2013. The outcome from the emergency room left me with 5 stitches on the bridge of my nose, and the tip of my nose was missing due to the severe impact of the accident. I called and scheduled an appointment to visit Dr. Kwan so he could assess my nose. Upon arriving to the office, I was immediately impressed with the facility, service, and professionalism of his staff. Dr. Kwan met with me and examined my nose and in detail, he explained the approach he would take in order to get my nose like brand new again.On the day of my surgery, I was met by Dr Kwan, who performed the surgery, himself. His Anesthesiologist was very informative and professional as well. The outcome of Phase 1 was a success. In addition to that, the staff even called my medication into the pharmacy that way it would be ready as soon as I left the office. My nose is 98% back to normal, I now look forward to Phase 2 to be completed. After that procedure is done I am positive my nose will look absolutely perfect and I will be back to my confident self again. Thanks Dr Kwan and Staff.

I have had several surgeries with Dr Kwan, and would recommend him highly. Liposuction of abdomen and love handles came out smooth. Upper eyelids look younger and refreshed, and the Basal Cell Cancer he cut out of my nose is not even visible, despite the fact that it was right along the rim of my left nostril.

I have been using Dr Kwan for over 10 years now. I have had many different procedures and all of them have turned out great. One of the breast augmentations had a crimp in the left breast and he had no problem going in to revise it to assure my satisfaction. I have always liked the way he answers each of my concerns and we go over everything for each procedure I've done several times to assure we are on the same page :) Take a list of any questions or concerns and I guarantee you will love your results no matter what procedure he is doing for you! .

I posted this in the Concealed Carry Issues forum because most of the article deals with the upward sales of handguns and the number of people getting Ohio concealed carry permits. I believe we will see this trend continue not only in Ohio but just about everywhere with the exception of States that restrict firearm ownership.
