Common Questions
How do I know if my child needs help?
The answer to this question is not always obvious.. There is a gray area between normal and abnormal behavior with children. We expect to see an increase in anger management problems during certain developmental stages. Two year olds have a reputation for oppositional behavior, as do teenagers. Other variables that need to be taken into consideration are the uniqueness of each child, different values and behavioral expectations in families and cultural differences. At risk children direct their anger outwardly or inwardly. The "acting out" child often exhibits problems that raise the concerns of others outside of the family. If professionals from your child's school express concerns this is certainly a red flag. Behaviors to watch out for at home include violent behavior towards self or others and destruction of property. The "acting in" children tend to direct their anger inwardly. These children often show signs of depression. They may be withdrawn from friends and family, lose interest in normal activities, and exhibit changes in sleeping or eating patterns. These children are also the most likely to "slip through the cracks"; unless the symptoms are profound they often go unnoticed by parents and other adults. If you are unsure if your child's anger is being expressed appropriately and within normal limits, seek outside help. Talk to other parents who have a child the same age and compare notes. Discuss your child's situation with the school counselor, clergy or other professionals. If the feedback you get confirms your concerns seek professional help.
What can I do to help my child with anger management?
The most significant way children learn is to model after the most important adults in their lives, their parents. Children learn primarily by what they see you do, not so much by what you tell them to do. Parents who yell or get physical when they are angry are likely to have children who do the same. Conversely, parents who model healthy anger management techniques are likely to have children with fewer anger management problems. Take a look at our
book list
, there are books for adults to help you manage your anger and there are books to help you teach your children to manage their anger. If you have anger management problems start there first, then model your newly learned skills to your children and teach them what you have learned. If you don't have anger management problems purchase a book that offers you techniques to help your child. There are many techniques to choose from. Examples include behavioral techniques (i.e. "time out"), cognitive techniques (i.e. "positive thinking"), and experiential techniques (i.e. relaxation and guided imagery).
Where can I find referrals?
If you need referrals or resources in San Diego please contact Pete or Marge. If you live in California you can locate a therapist through the
California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists
. If you live outside of California you can contact the

Modeler/Texture artist wanted for Real-Time Strategy Game
Hello. My name is David and I am currently working on an real-time strategy game, named Warfare 2525, which takes place 500 years in the future on Mars. I started this game over two years ago for a school project, when I knew next to nothing about making games. I was able to get some basic graphics in place initially, but I'm really more of a programmer than a modeler. I recently decided to rewrite the code in that game now that I know a bit about writing code in order to make the code more usable and maintainable, etc., and I'd like to get some really nice graphics in place for this new iteration of the game. That's why I came here: I'm looking for someone who would like to remake the graphics for Warfare 2525. I have concept art of the in-game units, a sample scan of which you can see here. The artistic style of the game should suggest a civilization which has forgotten how great it is. There is no money available now, but once the game is completed I plan to try and sell it on GOG.com, Steam, or a similar digital distribution medium and I will pay the modeler/texture artist a negotiable share of the profits.
For more information on the game please visit http://jotunstudios.com/warfare-2525.html. If interested, please contact me at email@example.com.

Net-Security.org recently interviewed Nitesh Dhanjani and Billy Rios, well-known security researchers that have recently managed to infiltrate the phishing underground. The interview gives readers a rundown on how Dhanjani and Rios saw an extraordinary amount of sensitive customer account information, obtained the latest phishing kits, located and examined the tools used by phishers, trolled sites buying and selling identities, and even social engineered a few scammers. They also expose on this interview the tactics and tools that phishers use, illustrate what happens when your confidential information gets stolen, discuss how phishers communicate and how they phish each other.

Speech recognition technology has been an accelerating technological development and is now making its way to the mass market. Among these companies providing speech recognition technology is Vlingo Corporation. "Vlingos service lets people talk naturally, rather than making them use a limited number of set phrases. Dave Grannan, the companys chief executive, demonstrated the Vlingo Find application by asking his phone for a song by Mississippi John Hurt (try typing that with your thumbs), for the location of a local bakery and for a Web search for a consumer product. It was all fast and efficient. Vlingo is designed to adapt to the voice of its primary user, but I was also able to use Mr. Grannans phone to find an address. The Find application is in the beta test phase at AT&T and Sprint." Other companies offering speech recognition technology to their customers include Nuance with its Nuance Voice Control system recently released last August, and Microsoft with its purchase of TellMe Networks last March. According to Opus Research, speech recognition has reached a $1.6 billion market in 2007, and they further predict an annual growth rate of 14.5 percent over the next three years. "Dan Miller, an analyst at Opus, said that companies that have licensed speech recognition technology would probably see faster revenue growth, as more consumers used the technology."
Speech recognition technology has also been available on personal computers since 2001 in applications like Microsoft Office but with a weaker following. It is also already used in high-end G.P.S. systems and luxury cars from Cadillac and Lexus, and is now spreading to less expensive systems and cars. The speech technology chief at I.B.M. Research, David Nahamoo, adds that the company has an automotive customer testing speech recognition to help drivers find songs quickly while driving. SimulScribe, on the other hand, uses speech recognition to convert voice mail into e-mail.

According to Security experts at Sophos, 6,000 new infected webpages are discovered every day, 83 per cent of which belonging to innocent
companies and individuals that are unaware of their sites being compromised. Sophos further reports that the well-known iFrame vulnerability in Internet Explorer remained the preferred vector for malware attacks throughout last year with China (51.4 per cent) and the US (23.4 per cent) leading in the net security firm's list of malware-hosting countries. According to PandaLabs, "around half a million computers are infected by bots every day... [and] approximately 11 percent of computers worldwide have become a part of criminal botnets, which are responsible for 85
percent of all spam sent."

E360 Insight, LLC filed a complaint against Comcast Corporation on 15 January 2008 accusing the latter of unfairly blocking e360s e-mail from reaching subscribers. According to e360, in one typical instance, e360 received an error message stating that its e-mail was blocked from reaching subscribers because Comcasts filters determined that e-mail from e360s servers had been "sent in patterns which are characteristic of spam." According to Direct magazine's report, "the complaint claims that Comcasts alleged interference with e360s business relationships cost the firm $4.5
million a year from 2005 through 2007. The complaint also accuses Comcast of sending e360 bogus bounce information, causing the marketer to remove e-mail addresses from its file that were still active. The suit claims the false bounce information cost it almost $2.5 million." E360 asks for more than $12 million in compensatory damages and $9 million in punitive damages from the accused.

The past week marks the one-year anniversary of the emergence of the spam-enabling Storm worm, a tenacious strain of malicious software that probably speaks more about the future of online crime than almost any other malware family
circulating online today. A chronological account from security firm Trend Micro visually sums up Storm's evolution. Dmitri Alperovitch, director of Secure Computing, said federal law enforcement officials who need to know have already learned the identities of those responsible for running the Storm worm network, but that U.S. authorities have thus far been prevented from bringing those responsible to justice due to a lack of cooperation from officials in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the Storm worm authors are thought to reside.
Alperovitch believes the majority of Storm worm victims are Microsoft Windows users who for whatever reason have ignored the best advice of security professionals by not running anti-virus software and/or regularly applying software security updates. Indeed, the infection statistics seem to support that analysis. According to Vincent Gullotto, head of Microsoft's security research and response team, Microsoft's "malicious software removal tool" -- shipped as part of its monthly patch updates -- has removed an average of 200,000 versions of the Storm worm from Windows systems each month since November, when the software giant first started shipping removal routines for Storm.
According to Trend, nearly 12,000 pieces of Storm-connected malware were unleashed online over the past year (this includes the Trojan that
drops the payload, the Storm worm itself, as well as regular -- sometimes hourly -- updates pushed out to infected machines to stay a step ahead of any anti-virus software installed on the host system.) As big as Storm got this past year, Symantec's numbers help put things in a bit more perspective. Storm-related malware made up slightly more than one-quarter of one percent of all potential malicious code infections in 2007, Symantec said.

Romanian artist Alex Dragulescu, a research assistant at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sociable Media Group, puts a face to threats such as Storm and Netsky. "Dragulescu created his so-called 'threat art' in conjunction with live malware intercepted by e-mail security firm MessageLabs. Each is disassembled into a dump of binary code and then run through a program Dragulescu wrote. That program spends a few hours crunching through all the data, looking for patterns in the code that will determine the shape, color and complexity of each piece of threat art."
According to the Washington Post's article, the configuration of these created organisms is driven largely by the botnets' actions. Dragulescu explains that if there is a repeated attempt to write to a system memory address, a particular Windows API call that tries to write to a file or [blast out e-mail], for instance, the program tracks that and looks for the prevalence, number and behavior of those occurrences.
Dragulescu's other threat art include his "spam architecture," or his "spam plants," the latter of which take its form from rules that look at the ASCII values (computer code that represent the English alphabet) of each spam sample.

Information Week reports that the CIA admitted on Friday at a New Orleans security conference that cyberattacks have caused at least one power outage affecting multiple cities outside the United States. According to Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, CIA senior analyst Tom Donahue confirmed that online attackers had caused at least one blackout. Information about which foreign cities were affected by the outage and other information related to the attack were not disclosed. According to Paller, a written statement from Donahue read, "We have information, from multiple regions outside the United States, of cyber intrusions into utilities, followed by extortion demands. We suspect, but cannot confirm, that some of these
attackers had the benefit of inside knowledge. We have information that cyberattacks have been used to disrupt power equipment in several regions outside the United States. In at least one case, the disruption caused a power outage affecting multiple cities. We do not know who executed these attacks or why, but all involved intrusions through the Internet."
The conference was on sharing data about cyberattacks on critical utilities and resources, and methods of attack mitigation. Discussions also include the new SCADA, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition, and Control Systems Survival Kit, a document of best practices for SCADA systems.

FCW.com reports that "foreign hackers, primarily from Russia and China, are increasingly seeking to steal Americans health care records, according to a Department of Homeland Security analyst." Two cases of intrusions to the health care systems' servers have been recorded in the past year which alarmed security officials. In early 2007, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site was infected with a virus, and in April, a Military Health System server holding Tricare records was hacked. Mark Walker, who works in DHS Critical Infrastructure Protection Division, said the hackers are seeking to exfiltrate health care data probably for espionage. DHS is increasing its analysis staff to monitor threats in several industries, including health care, and will be issuing more alerts about cyberthreats to health care data, he said. He added further that DHS wants to build a database of health information system intrusions so it can better analyze the threats and develop countermeasures.

A growing concern among security companies as well as the public this year is the burgeoning market for "protection racket." The computer security
industry was said to have deteriorated with one sharing everything about newly discovered weaknesses to some within it involved in a protection racket. Researchers such as Paul Henry, vice-president of technology at Secure Computing, describe this trend as "a move by a small minority of security companies now paying hackers for exclusive access to newly discovered vulnerabilities. This ensures their customers are protected while the software vendor works out a solution and rolls out a patch, a process that can take weeks." This worries security experts because hackers are now being given a so-called legitimate route of selling vulnerabilities to a single company who then protect their own. "They don't have to run the risk of going to jail any more by actually using a vulnerability, they can just threaten you with it and they get paid. It's extortion," says Henry.
Security researchers are said to be drawn to this new practice due to bad treatment from well-known software companies. Henry explains that "there
have been cases where people reporting vulnerabilities to software companies have been treated terribly and threatened with legal action because the vendors just don't want to look stupid. Security researchers that have found a vulnerability won't get paid by a vendor, and if they think they actually might end up talking to their lawyers and being threatened, then it's hardly surprising they end up selling vulnerabilities to security companies."

A documentary, "The New Face of Cybercrime," created by Academy award nominated director Fredric Golding and presented by Fortify Software, provides a face to the criminals' intent on hacking into systems today. Candid interviews with many industry leaders and executives of large organizations taking steps against these attacks are also included, providing perspective on how they think about these threats and what they are doing about them throughout their companies.
The Storm Worm botnet, using its huge collection of infected computers, is now sending out phishing emails directing people to fake banking sites that it also hosts on the computers it remotely controls, according to F-Secure and Trend Micro. Apparently, Storm has never been involved in phishing up to this point, however, the new campaign may indicate, according to F-Secure, that Storm's controllers have figured out how to divide the massive army into clusters which it is now renting out to others. F-Secure and Trend Micro both reported that the phishing scam was using a technique known as fast-flux DNS to keep the phishing site alive. Fast-flux works by constantly changing the IP address in the internet's phone book system (known as DNS) and having multiple computers in the botnet host the phishing site. This makes it very difficult to blacklist a IP address and since the site isn't being hosted by a company that researchers could contact to take down the site, the site lives longer.
According to Paul Ferguson, an advanced threat researcher for security giant Trend Micro, the spam emails were sent from a different segment of the botnet than the phishing sites were hosted. The site used for phishing was just registered on Monday. Anti-phishing filters, such as the ones bundled into Opera, Firefox and IE7, have gotten pretty good at quickly adding sites to their blocked list, however, "the issue becomes how do you work to take it down and find the perpetrators," said Ferguson.

Pushdo trojan, a fairly new and prolific threat being circulated in fake "E-card" emails, is classified as a more sophisticated "downloader" trojan due to its control server. According to the analysis of Secureworks, when executed, Pushdo reports back to one of several control server IP addresses embedded in its code. The server listens on TCP port 80, and
pretends to be an Apache webserver. Any request that doesn't have the correct URL format will be answered with the following content:
The Bender Bending Rodriguez text is simply misdirection to mask the true nature of the server - if the HTTP request contains the following parameters, one or more executables will be delivered via HTTP:
The Pushdo controller is preloaded with multiple executable files - the one we looked at contained 421 different malware samples ready to be delivered. The Pushdo controller also uses the GeoIP geolocation database in conjunction with whitelists and blacklists of country codes. This
enables the Pushdo author to limit distribution of any one of the malware loads from infecting users located in a particular country, or provides the ability to target a specfic country or countries with a specific payload.
Pushdo's detection of the physical hard drive serial number as a identifier not only provides a unique ID for the infected system,
but can also reveal information such as whether the code is running in a virtual machine or not. This could be a way for the malware author to spy on anti-virus companies using automated tools to monitor the malware download points.
Another anti-anti-malware function of Pushdo is that it looks at the names of all running processes and compare them to a list of anti-virus and personal firewall process names. Instead of killing off these processes, however, Pushdo merely reports back to the controller which ones are running, by appending "proc=" and a list of the matching process names to the HTTP request parameters. This enables the authors to determine which anti-virus engines or firewalls are preventing the malware from running or phoning home, by their absence from the statistics. This way the Pushdo author doesn't have to maintain a test environment for each AV/firewall product.
Recently, an e-card email containing a newer variant of Pushdo was received. Apparently taking notice that the Bleeding Snort project had published a signature (sid 2006377) to detect the Pushdo request variables in transit, the author has now changed the request to be less fingerprintable. An example of the new
request format is:
GET /40e800142020202057202d4443574d414c393635393438366c0000003c66000000007600000002 HTTP/1.0
Apparently, the author of Pushdo is intent on evading detection for as long as possible, in order to have the maximum amount of time to seed Cutwail spambots into the wild. Although it is unclear just how large the Cutwail botnet has become, the ambition of the project rivals that of other more well-known spam botnets, such as Storm.

A new-generation worm-botnet known as Nugache, according to Dave Dittrich, might be the most advanced worm/botnet yet. It has no C&C server to target, has bots capable of sending encrypted packets and has the possibility of any peer on the network suddenly becoming the de facto leader of the botnet. However, despite numerous worms, viruses, bots and Trojans over the years having one or two of the features that Storm, Nugache, Rbot and other such programs possess, none has approached the breadth and depth of their feature sets. Rbot, with more than 100 features that users can choose from when compiling the bot, enables two different bots compiled from an identical source have nearly identical feature sets, yet look completely different to an antivirus engine.
A disturbing concern, experts say, is that there are several malware groups out there right now that are writing custom Trojans, rootkits and attack toolkits to the specifications of their customers, who are in turn using the malware not to build worldwide botnets like Storm, but to attack small slices of a certain industry, such as financial services or health care. A popular example of this is Rizo, a variant of Rbot. Like Nugache and Storm, Rizo has been modified a number of times to meet the requirements of various different attack scenarios. "Within the course of a few weeks, different versions of Rizo were used to attack customers of several different banks in South America. Once installed on a user's PC, it monitors Internet activity and gathers login credentials for online banking sites, which it then sends back to the attacker. It's standard behavior
for these kinds of Trojans, but the amount of specificity and customization involved in the code and the ways in which the author changed it over time are what have researchers worried."

The article, Beware, botnets have your PC in their sights, by New Scientist republished by TMCnet, provides a brief discussion of the cybersecurity situation in developing countries and how the current conditions may later evolve into an enormous cybersecurity problem in the coming years. Although hackers and cybercriminals tend to attack computers in developed countries at the moment due to more stable and consistent Internet connectivity, it is foreseen that developing countries may be next in line with the increasing technological developments and initiatives such as the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) programme and Intel's low-cost Classmate computer. "If thousands of Classmates are distributed without adequate security,
or if a previously unknown flaw in BitFrost, OLPC's security system, emerges, the new generation
of cheap PCs will lead to problems... The ITU is assuming that attacks of this kind are a foregone conclusion
and is organising a global effort to help developing countries fortify
themselves against them." ITU, with its Botnet Mitigation Toolkit and Cybersecurity efforts, aims to increase international cooperation among states and provide the training and expertise needed to build CERTs in developing countries.

The OPTA Commission has imposed a fine of 1 million Euros on three Dutch enterprises, operating under the company name DollarRevenue, and their two directors, due to their unlawful installion of software on more than 22 million computers belonging to Internet users in the Netherlands and elsewhere. They primarily used misleading files, making Internet users believe that they were about to download apparently innocent files, whereas they actually contained DollarRevenue software. "They also used botnets, thereby installing files without user intervention. Each day 60,000 installations occurred on average. A total of more than 450 million program files were illegally placed on 22 million computers." With the enterprises and their directors having deliberately contravened provisions of the Universal Service and End Users Decree [Besluit universele dienstverlening en eindgebruikers], based on the Telecommunications Act [Telecommunicatiewet] and designed to promote safe Internet usage and to protect the privacy of Internet users, fines totalling 1 million Euros were imposed.

According to McAfee, the website of the French Embassy in Libya is currently under attack through IFRAME injection. With the visit by Libyan President Muammar Khadafi in the country, controversy is stirring up which has apparently triggered interest among people behind the attack. The iframe routes the victim to sites hosted through Hong Kong provider, then it redirects the victim to Russia and Ukraine where exploit and downloaders are used (Exploit-YIMCAM and downloader-AUD). McAfee warns people not to attempt reaching the site as it is still dangerous.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) highlighted the role played by information and communication technologies (ICTs) as both a cause and a potential cure for climate change at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Bali, Indonesia, on 12 December.
ICTs can be used for remote monitoring of climate change and the gathering of crucial scientific data such as using telemetry or remote sensing by satellite. Smart and emerging technologies can be integrated into energy-efficient products, notably in next-generation networks (NGN) where ITU's Standardization sector (ITU-T) is carrying out vital specialized work.
Activities at the ITU's Development Sector (ITU-D) refer to promoting a role for information and communications technologies in the protection of the environment, together with partners from other international organizations and the industry. ITU-D also provides assistance to developing countries in emergency telecommunications as well as in the area of e-waste.
At the UN Conference, ITU raised awareness on standby services of ICT equipment such as computers and PC screens, DVD players, TVs and battery chargers, which places a burden on energy consumption. "Always-on" services, like broadband or mobile phones on standby, have increased energy consumption compared with fixed-line telephones, which do not require an independent power source.
ITU underlined an active commitment to promote the use of ICTs as a positive force to reduce greenhouse emissions and to find ways to mitigate the effects of climate change. In this regard, ITU can support and facilitate scientific studies aimed at implementation of new measures against the negative effects of climate change. As part of a unified effort of the UN system, ITU can contribute in its areas of expertise to support Member States and to foster partnerships with the private sector to develop more energy-efficient technologies.

Gad, Andreas, you are sounding just like an Islamist! I have studied both Christian Theology and to a lesser extent Islamic Theology and there is no comparison.<<
I've never studied Islamic Theology. I've read some articles, that's about it. All were written by Westerners and were mostly very sympathetic to Islam as a religion of deep reverence for life and intense spirituality -- which seems to contradict most of what you write. But then I don't know. When do you find the time do all these studies, Lawrence? Which mullahs have you discussed contested passages of the Koran with? How many years have you devoted to the study of Arabic so that you can understand the cultural context of Islam? I'm asking because I don't know. Perhaps you think that's not necessary. Perhaps you also think you understand French culture as well as you understand Islam. I just don't know what you know.
Christianity is a religion of belief, of emulating the perfect son of God, of wrestling with ones motivation and trying to get it right, but accepting forgiveness when one doesn't. It is not a religion of violence or anger. The Christian should turn the other cheek if insulted.<<
"Insulted"? That's not what my Bible says. It says:"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matt 5:39) And then there's this: "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." (Matt 5:44) And this: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' All the law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Mathew 22:37-40 And this: "And if any man will sue thee, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, pray for them that persecute you, that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven, for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the tax-gatherers the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Gentiles so? And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what gain have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye merciful, as your Father also is merciful."
That's what Christ, "the perfect son of God", is reported to have said.At least that's what my "study" of Christian theology tells me Christianity is all about. Faith? Baby, you've got to have a shitload of faith to follow those prescripts. So yes, Lawrence, you're right, Christianity is not a religion of violence and anger. It's a religion of unqualified non-violence and unconditional love. Unfortunately Christianity has never been practiced. It's only been believed by a few sacred fools. So please don't try to push the travesty we know as "Christianity" on us as some superior way of being. That "Christianity" has been and is still being used to justify hatreds and hostilities and pretexts for murder. It is still as blood-thirsty as all the other power players in the world. That's not to say that Christianity is not still out there. So is Islam and so is Islam as loving and caring and totally devoted to spiritual awareness as Christianity. So also is there an "Islam". Study more, Lawrence. Study Christianity, not "Christianity". Study Islam, not "Islam". Then come talk to me.

Proxy bidding is a convenient way to automatically bid on your items without having to continually return to your computer to check on your auctions. A Proxy Bid is a bid automatically placed by the auction system on your behalf based on the Maximum Bid Amount that you set for the particular listing. Each time you place a bid by entering your maximum bid amount (which is the most you're willing to pay for an item), you will be using our Proxy bidding system. If another bidder places a bid on your item, Proxy bidding will then bid automatically on your behalf and at the lowest possible bid increments, but not more than the maximum you specified.
The goal is to win an item at the lowest successful price. To do so, you must be the bidder who placed the highest maximum bid at auction close. You will be notified by email if another bidder has surpassed your maximum bid. In case of a tie for high bidder, earlier bids will take precedence.
AtAuction displays a countdown clock to the auction close time. This countdown clock represents the time you have left to bid on that auction. If a bid is placed within the last 5 minutes of the auction close time, that auction will go into overtime.
The Overtime Bidding feature works to ensure that bidders will always have a chance to challenge bids placed in the final seconds of an auction. When indicated on a listing page, if a bid is placed during the last 5 minutes of an open auction, the auction will be automatically extended for an additional 5 minutes from the time of the latest bid. There is no limit to the number of times an auction can be extended. Therefore, it is recommended that you check back frequently as an auction nears closing time. The auction will close once all bidding activity has stopped for a period of 5 minutes.
Note: If you have placed a bid when Overtime Bidding is engaged, you should refresh or reload your browser frequently (every 3 - 5 secs) so that it displays the most current bid status information.
The bid increment is the specified minimum amount you must bid over the current bid amount.
In an English auction, buyers bid until the auction ends. The item is then sold to the highest bidder at the end of the auction period.
In a Yankee Auction, a product lot (a quantity of 2 or more identical products) goes up for auction at a starting price. You attempt to outbid other buyers by offering more money for one or more pieces in the lot. Your bid price is per each single piece and you may bid for more than one piece.
At the close of the auction, the products are awarded to the highest bidder(s) at the price they bid and for the quantity they bid for up to the available auction lot.
As an example, if 5 units are up for auction, and Bidder A bids $200 for 2 pieces, and Bidder B bids $175 for 1 piece and Bidder C bids $160 for 2 pieces, and Bidder D bids $150 for 1 piece. Bidders A, B, and C would all be winning bidders at the price each of them bid and for the quantity each of them bid for. Bidder D would be a losing bidder.
In the event that two different bidders bid the same price, then the winner is based on the quantity bid for and the time the bid was placed. Higher quantity and earliest bids take preference.
NOTE: There is no proxy bidding feature with Yankee auctions. If you win, the price you bid is the price you pay.
The "Compare At" price is the retail price at which an item or comparable item may, in the reasonable judgment of our experienced buyers, manufacturers or suppliers be sold on a everyday basis (i.e. excluding special promotions or sales) at retail stores. In many instances, though not all, "Compare At" price reflects a price suggested by the manufacturer or supplier of these goods, without reference to actual retail sales and may account to an estimation of a retail offer price in accordance with standard industry practices.
Because we sell our merchandise over the internet on a national basis, we make no guarantee that the products have been sold or offered at the "Compare At" price, and the price may or may not reflect the average prevailing market price in any area on a particular day. For some items listed as a set, the "Compare At" price may be an aggregate of the suggested or estimated prices for all items included in the set. Actual retail sales in your area may substantially differ from the "Compare At" price.
You may wish to use the "Compare At" price as a guide in your evaluation of our prices to what you would or could pay for these items in other locations, at other times, or under other conditions, including full retail.

I am a volunteer RN and love me some MVC peeps and patients, who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
It's awesome to see all the medical professional donating their time for the less unfortunate who otherwise wouldn't be able to get the help they need! It's not patient just trying to get something for nothing ... They have been through unfortunate circumstances
I am a volunteer at the Macon Volunteer Clinic. The Clinic provides access to quality Medical Care to our patients who do not have health insurance at no charge.
Daily they change people's lives. The MVC provides excellent healthcare for the working people of our community.
Previous Stories
It makes you remember why you do what you do. The patients that come to the volunteer clinic work hard to provide for their families yet are not able to afford the insurance or healthcare they need. Seeing the gratitude these individuals have for the care you provide them is priceless.
I have volunteered for several community clinics in the past but Macon Volunteer Clinic has been the best experience for me and the patients I served. Everyone was friendly and helpful, working as a team. The patients were given great service and education. More than I have seen in some private practice! Excellent job!!!
This is a wonderful organization and everyone is very caring and sincere in their dedication to their job and especially those they are serving. Very lucky to part of it all.
I am a front-desk volunteer at the Macon Volunteer Clinic. Every day I field numerous calls from folks in search of affordable health care. Many do not meet the eligibility requirements of MVC, so the best I can do for them is suggest some alternatives with different requirements. It can be very discouraging to turn away so many people in need. Recently I was telling my husband how heavily this weighs on my mind, and he said, " But don't GOOD things happen at the clinic, too?" That question helped put things in perspective for me.
YES, good thing DO happen at MVC, every day. We have a great many doctors, nurses, and other professionals who give freely of their time to serve those in need. It is heart-warming and beautiful to see. The staff is a group of dedicated, hard-working people whose goal is to provide badly-needed services to a grossly under-served segment of the population. We all wish we could do more, reach more people, and raise awareness about our presence in the community, and those are the goals we reach for.
Previous Stories
I began volunteering at Macon Volunteer clinic because I love what they do - provide health care for people who are working but simply can't afford health insurance. What I have found since I began volunteering there is that I also love the amazingly kind, committed, and hard-working people who work there. It is a privilege to be a part of something that does so much to serve the community, and a pleasure to work with such great people.
I was fortunate to be a clinic coordinator for the medical school that volunteers at this clinic. I saw first-hand many times how dedicated the volunteers were to providing the best care to the patients during our Saturday clinics. I think this clinic meets such a need in the community and is full of people with big hearts! Very professional and caring volunteers
Everyone who is there WANTS to be there- it's a volunteer clinic.
You won't get such personalized healthcare, such one-on-one care FOR FREE anywhere else
What a great organization to help people stay healthy, happy, and productive members of society!
The Macon Volunteer Clinic of Macon, Georgia is an excellent resource for employed but uninsured adults that are in need of quality healthcare. Having volunteered there for the previous eight months, I have been continually impressed with the level of care provided to patients of the clinic by the experienced medical providers that freely give their time to improve the health of our patients. The volunteers and staff of Macon Volunteer Clinic continually show dedication to the mission of improving access to quality healthcare for the medically under-served population of Macon, Georgia.

The 'Friends with Benefits' actress is locked to voice a demon named Deema in the stop-motion comedy movie that follows two best friends as they try to save their buddy who is dragged to Hell.
Mila Kunis has been added to the voice cast of a one-stop movie called "Hell & Back". The "Black Swan" actress is tapped to voice a demon named Deema in the adult animated film, which has been granted an R rating.
ShadowMachine announced Kunis' casting for the film, which marks the studio's first R-rated animated feature, on Thursday, March 1. "We're thrilled to have Mila involved. Her unique blend of comedy and charm fits perfectly with what is sure to be one of the most memorable animated female characters in a long time," said ShadowMachine's Corey Campodonico.
Kunis joins a set of actors who have previously been added to the voice cast. They include Nick Swardson, TJ Miller, Rob Riggle, Brian Posehn and Kumail Najiani.
"Hell & Back" follows two best friends (Swardson and Miller) as they rescue their buddy who has been accidentally dragged to Hell. Serving as the directors are Tommy Gianas and Ross Shuman with Hugh Sterbakov providing the screenplay.
In the press release, Kunis' character, Deema, is described as "a female demon whose ability to navigate the underworld makes her the toughest rogue demon in Hell. Her independent streak may come from her greatest secret: She's half-human."
It is further explained Deema "was sired by the Orpheus of myth when he traveled down the River Styx years ago. What the myths don't say is that he was nailing everything that moved. When Orpheus is revealed to be a bit of a tool, Deema has to look inside to figure out what it means to be human."
Kunis most recently starred opposite Justin Timberlake in adult comedy "Friends with Benefits". She will next be seen starring in Walt Disney Pictures' "Oz: The Great and Powerful" and Universal Pictures' "Ted".

Disturbing Photo of the Day: Honk for Dead People!
Dirty Projectors, baby! »
Oy, you had me at "I work at Jamba Juice" »
TweetA friend passed this link on to me and I basically almost choked on my herbal tea. I mean, I'm really not sure if the corporate end at Wet Seal really just let this one fly because they believe it to be grammatically correct, or if they think it's witty and cute. Let's be super clear on two things here: America is stupid enough and most certainly does NOT need Wet Seal'... »
Oh crap, this ruined me. »
WHAAAAAT?! I'm not an Aries anymore?!! »
TweetRunning out of inspiration to decorate your Xmas tree? Talk about taking the holiday spirit a little too far. From Abornament's mission statement on Etsy: "no ACTUAL babies were harmed in the creation of these ornaments, and no one is going to run out and get 1,000 abortions simply because they saw a fake fetus hanging out of a glittery felt vagina." Funny or horrible? I say... »
As per the MTA, nasty gross people must refrain from clipping their nails. »
TweetI'd like to thank my dear friend Joe O'Donnell for sending me this photo. Joe understands that the subway commute to and from work is often arduous, and heck, there's gotta be a better way to pass the time since there's no cell service underground. Thanks Joe, and be careful on that F train. This photo is real, and was taken by @she_gorgeouss. »

Providence gets $150K to reduce gun, gang violence
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The city of Providence is getting $150,000 in federal funding for efforts to reduce gun and gang violence.
The grant is being formally announced Thursday morning by Rhode Island's U.S. senators, Providence Mayor Angel Taveras and state and local law enforcement. It is through the Project Safe Neighborhoods Program.
Officials say the grant will support a partnership of the Providence Police Department and state police, the U.S. attorney and state attorney general's offices, the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence, and Roger Williams University's School of Justice Studies. The aim is to boost the ability of city police to focus on gang violence and gun crime reduction.
Providence is one of 16 communities in the U.S. to get Project Safe Neighborhoods money this year.

Hello, I'm doing a critical study as part of my access course in which I have to do an essay on my chosen subject which is engineering.
The format of the essay should follow an example such as this "Are antibiotics overused by the NHS? This would be a good example for someone going on to study pharmacology.
I'm trying to come up with something around engineering and i'm looking for some inspiration, has anyone got any ideas?
I feel I just need a title/subject that I can run with.
So far i've thought of
"Are electric cars a long term solution?"
"Are the government providing enough incentives to stimulate british manufacturing?"
If anyone has any other suggestions they would be most welcome.

Okay, I broke down and bought the stupid POS control valve. It DID fix the problem !! I also came up with a home diagnostic situation to prove to anyone that the old one was bad. Take the new valve and throw it in the freezer when you get home. After 30 minutes take it out and blow into the input side (where the tube connects from the fan) and blow hard, air should go through it a little bit to the output side that connects to the exhaust manifold. Warning, don't freeze your lips to the cold metal, trust me, it could happen. This proves the new one works, now put it on a heat register in your house and get it warmed up, now blow into it, nothing should come out.
I put the new valve in, and tried the above procedure with the old valve, and trust me, no matter how hard you blow, it doesn't let air through. So I cut it open to see why the POS failed. Below is a picture of the actuating shaft that is on the exhaust side of the valve. See the corrosion !! BMW, do you see it !! That's why they seize up and don't work, it's not lubricated or sealed and protected from exhaust heat and junk !!!
Anyway, I just thought everyone would like to see what the final end result was thanks to our wonderful emmission standards, thanks California, now fall off into the ocean already.
