HEAD: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
dismissed Arcata's Andrea Tuttle, 57, as director of the California
Department of Forestry last week. Tuttle, a natural resource
planner by trade, was appointed to the position in 1999 by Gov.
Gray Davis and had long been expecting to be replaced. Her successor
is Dale Geldert of Oceanside, one of the few CDF directors in
history to come from a firefighting background; pundits are pointing
to last year's devastating southern California wildfires as the
reason for the switch in focus at the top of the department,
which is both the state's firefighting agency and regulator of
the timber industry. Tuttle was out of town and unavailable for
comment, but Don Tuttle, the county's former director of environmental
services, said that his wife would spend the coming two or three
months planning the next stage of her career.
MURDER, STABBING IN EUREKA: Eureka police are saying one suspect, arrested early Sunday, may be responsible for two separate crimes, a murder and an attempted murder, committed last week. On July 3 police responded to a report that a man had been stabbed at 422 West Henderson St. The 28-year-old male victim, whose name was being withheld Tuesday pending notification of his children, died of his wounds at St. Joseph Hospital. In a strikingly similar incident June 29, Alfonso Otero, 44, a Mexican national and a resident of Oregon, was stabbed at the Greyhound Bus Terminal on Fourth Street in Eureka and transported to the hospital. His condition is unknown. The suspect in both crimes, Hector Tripp, 31, of Hoopa, was stopped just past midnight July 4 while riding a bicycle near McDonald's on Broadway. He was arrested and was booked into the Humboldt County Jail on charges of murder.
ANTI-GMO MEASURE QUALIFIES: The county elections office checked a sample of 500 anti-GMO signatures and found enough were valid to qualify a measure for the November ballot. The initiative would ban the growth of genetically modified organisms. Mendocino County voters passed a similar ban last year despite a heavy-spending effort from agricultural lobbyists. Butte, Marin and San Luis Obispo counties have similar measures already qualified for the fall ballot.
HURWITZ IN COURT: Charles Hurwitz, chairman and CEO of Maxxam, Inc., appeared close to winning his lawsuit against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last week, according to the Houston Chronicle. Hurwitz is suing the agency for the $40 million he spent defending himself against charges stemming from the failure of the United Savings Association of Texas, plus $21 million in interest. United Savings was one of the more spectacular episodes in the savings and loan scandals of the `80s -- the federal government spent $1.6 billion to bail out people who deposited money in it -- but Hurwitz has argued that he was not to blame for the thrift's collapse, despite the fact that he controlled it at the time. The Chronicle reports that U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Hughes appears to agree: "I think the FDIC is through picking on Mr. Hurwitz," the judge said. Maxxam bought the Pacific Lumber Co. in 1986.
BASS-JACKSON ANNOUNCES: Eureka City Councilperson Virginia Bass-Jackson has announced that she will seek a second term. No challengers for Bass-Jackson's seat have yet stepped forward. Bass-Jackson's colleague, Chris Kerrigan, will be facing Rex Bohn on the November ballot.
AUGUST CLEARED: Humboldt County Judge J. Michael Brown last week dismissed three of the five counts -- the most serious charges -- filed against Fortuna City Councilperson Debi August. A Grand Jury accusation charged August with conflict of interest in her purported role as agent for the developer of a subdivision that was subject to approval by the Fortuna City Council.
FHYRED UP: Another candidate for Arcata City Council has surfaced. Fhyre Pah Tah Wah Phoenix, 50, announced that he would enter the race last week. Phoenix's latest plan is to "tunnelize" the stretch of Highway 101 that passes through Arcata in order to provide the city with new land on which to build affordable housing. Phoenix founded the Community Currency Project -- an alternative, community-based form of money -- in 2003, but earlier this year turned the project over to Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County. In a recent edition of the project's newsletter, Humboldt Exchange, the editors note that the community currency project was $5,000 in debt when DUHC assumed control.
REDWOOD TIMES DEBUTS: The Redwood Times, a free newspaper serving southern Humboldt, made its debut on Tuesday with a 12-page edition that was mailed to addresses around the area. The paper isn't quite new -- it is a continuation of the old Life & Times, which shut its doors earlier this year. The paper was bought and resurrected by the Times-Standard and its parent corporation, Colorado's MediaNews Group. General Manager Susan Gardner said that all the old staff of the Life & Times had returned, and the paper brought one more person on board -- new publisher Skip Stone, formerly of Six Rivers Bank. Ted Kirby, editor of the rival Independent newspaper, said early Tuesday that he hadn't seen the new paper yet, but he didn't foresee making any changes to the content of his paper in response. There would probably have to be some changes made on the business end, though. "Whether this market is big enough to maintain two papers is an open question," he said. "Stay tuned, I guess." Gardner said that the Redwood Times would strive to cover more local events and would be more "middle of the road" than the Independent in its coverage.
1 PERCENT TO NONPROFITS: The North Coast Co-op recently distributed $13,300 to 38 area nonprofits. Shoppers may designate a specific group by member number at the time of purchase. Cashiers automatically add 1 percent on the purchase total and those funds are disbursed to the nonprofits every six months.
TENANTS PLAN PROTEST: Tenants who are dissatisfied with their landlords are invited to attend a protest scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, July 9, outside the new Redwood Capital Bank building. Organizer Michael Cooksey said he is working with the Tenants Union of Humboldt County on the event, which is being held at the bank because of Cooksey's complaints against his own landlord, Steve Strombeck, a member of Redwood Capital's board.

A local watchdog group has given Northern California schools low marks for failing to follow the rules when it comes to using pesticides and reporting their use.
After a three-year study, Californians for Alternatives to Toxics, a Eureka-based organization, released a report last week that says schools in Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Del Norte and Sonoma counties are not adhering to a state law that requires officials to document the use of all pesticides in public schools.
"The biggest thing that emerged is that schools don't understand [the Healthy Schools Act]," said Patty Clary, executive director of CATs. "Generally, even schools that are keeping records are not keeping good records, and they don't realize that they must make them available to the public."
The California Healthy Schools Act of 2000 requires schools to record all sprayings and provide records to the public upon request. Schools must also have a registry for parents who want to be notified 72 hours in advance of pesticide applications. Products like the weed-killer Roundup, according to the state law, are toxic enough that they need to be accounted for by school officials. Chemicals classified as "least-toxic," like boric acid, do not have to be reported.
Children are more susceptible to the harsh chemicals found in pesticides than adults and have more hand to mouth contact, increasing their chances of ingesting residues from pesticides, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Eighty-nine school districts were surveyed, 32 from Humboldt County. Each district received a letter grade based upon three criteria: the amount and toxicity of pesticides used, public accessibility to the pesticide-use records, and implementation of an integrated pest management (IPM) plan.
Humboldt fared better on average than the other counties, with most districts passing: There were two A's, 11 B's, 14 C's, three D's and 2 F's. Eureka City Unified received an A- and Fieldbrook scored the only straight A. F's were given to Mattole Unified and Fortuna Union High School District. A committee of CATs researchers, including Clary, decided upon the grading, which was, to some extent, subjective. Clary said that in her opinion, Eureka City Unified was graded too harshly, and referred to them as Humboldt's "star" district for their compliance with the CATs survey.
The report however, is not perfect. For instance, Clary said that many schools initially documented that they did not use any pesticides but later admitted to using products like Roundup and Weed & Feed. The schools did not realize that over-the-counter bug and weed killers are classified as pesticides. Other schools, like Freshwater Elementary, scored well for using no pesticides, but received F's for inadequate reports and not releasing information on a pest control strategy. The school received a C- for a final grade.
Freshwater Elementary Principal Elaine Gray said that small districts are hard-pressed to find the time to fill out extra paperwork like the CATs survey. There are 45 employees at the 310-student school, many of them part-time.
"So many layers of regulations creates problems to fulfill tasks," Gray said. "Every one of us runs all day."
A county Office of Education spokeswoman referred questions about the report to Kimberly Comet, risk manager for the North Coast School Insurance Group. Comet said that although she hasn't yet read the report cover-to-cover, she thinks that generally schools are complying with pesticide laws, and was surprised by the low marks. While the insurance group is not obligated to take action based upon CATs' independent study, Comet said that Office of Education officials will hold talks on pesticide use with schools throughout the summer and at the start of the school year.
"We want to provide healthy schools for staff, students and the general public. We can't ignore [the report]" Comet said.
Comet added that some schools thought that the CATs researchers were salespeople. Other districts told Comet that the environmental group requested information when the schools were working on their budgets, so they didn't have the time to respond to the requests.
The CATs report said that some schools were suspicious of the survey and did not take the requests seriously.
"It wasn't just our agenda. This whole report is based on the state law. That's an important issue for schools," Clary said.
CATs plans to continue the pesticide survey next year. Clary said that at the request of some districts throughout the five counties surveyed, the organization will help schools cut back on their pesticide use and start pest management plans.

Local governments should adopt codes of ethics that would prevent elected officials from making votes that have the "appearance of impropriety," according to the yearly final report of the Humboldt County Grand Jury.
In one section of the report, titled "Absence of Ethics Codes in Humboldt County," the Grand Jury finds that the county and all local cities -- with the exception of Arcata -- lack a code of ethical conduct for elected officials. Such a lack has led, in some cases, to "controversy and distrust in the community over the conduct of elected officials," it states.
Elsewhere, the report criticizes the Sheriff's Office and the County Department of Health and Human Services for their handling of a case that resulted in the 2002 death by neglect of a 42-year-old Orick woman who suffered from multiple sclerosis.
The Grand Jury unveiled the report at a regular meeting of the county Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning.
According to the report, the Grand Jury conducted an investigation into ethical codes because of the controversy generated by two recent cases: Fortuna City Councilmember Debi August's allegedly improper work on behalf of a local developer and Supervisor Roger Rodoni's vote, in May 2003, to deny the district attorney's request for additional funding for its suit against the Pacific Lumber Co. Rodoni has long leased a 9,000-acre southern Humboldt property -- the "Rainbow Ranch" -- from Pacific Lumber. As of last year, he paid $350 per month for the lease.
The report does not mention either elected official by name.
The investigation found that many California counties and some cities have instituted ethical codes of conduct that would have prevented controversies such as these, even though the behavior of the officials in question may not cross the line into illegality. One such code, adopted by the city of Mountain View, mandates members of its City Council to recuse themselves from a vote if voting would carry an "appearance of impropriety."
"For the public to have faith and confidence that government authority will be implemented in an evenhanded and ethical manner, public officials need to step aside even though no technical conflict exists," the Mountain View code reads. Another code, employed by the city of Sunnyvale, bans members from representing third parties in the conduct of city business.
The Grand Jury report asks county government and all local cities to review codes of ethics employed by other California cities and counties and to draft and adopt their own codes, in cooperation with citizens.
In her presentation to the Board of Supervisors, Grand Jury foreperson Judith Schmidt noted that members of the County Administrator's Office had already asked the Grand Jury for copies of the sample codes of ethics it had studied.
"We're extremely pleased and encouraged at that proactive step, and we thank you," she told CAO Loretta Nickolaus.
The report sharply criticizes both the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Sheriff's Office for the role they played in events that led to the death of Orick resident Joi Henderson-Wright.
Henderson-Wright became a client of the DHHS' Adult Protective Services (APS) in August 2000, after that agency received a report that she could not care for herself. She soon began receiving financial help from another DHHS agency -- In-Home Support Services (IHSS) -- which paid for a caregiver to tend to her needs. At her insistence, Henderson-Wright was allowed to hire an acquaintance for the purpose.
In the following months, the new caregiver, Joseph Pierre Rollins, reportedly threatened DHHS staff, and Henderson-Wright eventually told the department that other services were not wanted, as Rollins would take care of all her needs. The department closed the case, despite an APS caseworker's misgivings about Rollins and the concerns of Henderson-Wright's out-of-town family members.
The same family members requested the Sheriff's Office to check on Henderson-Wright, as they were concerned for her safety. The Grand Jury report calls the checks that were eventually done inadequate.
"The deputy's report documenting those two visits was written from memory one week following the individual's death and one month after the deputy's last visit," the report reads, adding that the report was also inconsistent with photographs taken of Henderson- Wright's trailer shortly after her death in March 2002.
In its examination, the Humboldt County Coroner's Office found that Henderson-Wright weighed only 60 pounds and was covered with bedsores at the time of her death.
Rollins was scheduled to go on trial Tuesday on felony charges of abuse of a dependent adult and theft from a dependent adult.
In a third section of the report, the Grand Jury reiterates its demand -- first made last month -- that the county Board of Supervisors re-examine the annual bonuses paid to its managers and elected officials. The report calls for the suspension of the bonuses during the county budget crisis, which would result in savings of about $850,000 per year.
The Grand Jury is an appointed body of citizens that examines the actions of local government. It is charged with hearing citizen complaints and is given broad powers to initiate and conduct investigations. Agencies targeted by the Grand Jury report are required by law to respond to its recommendations.

'It'll be fun,' he said, his voice deep and full of self satisfaction. It did nothing to help lift the haze clouding my mind. 'All you have to do is perform to the best of your ability.'
'And you'll grade me?' I managed to choke out, my voice thick and confused. His smirk just widened.
'Yeah,' he agreed, and I had never seen him look so sinful before. It was mesmerising. 'Be a good little whore, and you'll pass without any trouble.'

1. To expose something scandalous or deceptive. That company's stock price plummeted after the media blew the CEO's embezzlement scandal wide open. An anonymous tip to the police is what blew the theft ring wide open.
2. To make the outcome of a competition hard to predict. Having so many outstanding teams in the playoffs this year has really blown the field wide open.

Most Helpful Guy
As long as they aren't drawn on , are somewhat tamed and they look natural I really don't mind. In fact I recently noticed that this girl that I like has a bit of a faint unibrow (which she tweazes) and we joke about it ( I also have one, which I groom/remove).

My name is Jose David Rivera Maldonado and I'm an artist that resides in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I'm a huge fan of the Dragonball series and would like to create a new Dragonball series someday in order to further develop the story and characters for a series that is already full of beloved characters and has an amazing storyline. I am currently working on a fan made version of the series called Dragonball Apex. As time proceeds, you'll be able to see the pages online and hopefully my team and I will be able to get feedback from fans letting us know what they think. I am also a big fan of many other things such as Comic book heroes like Batman, Video games like Mortal Kombat, Tigers and Ford Mustangs. You'll be able to see different artworks of things I've drawn within my Profile.
I dedicate my work to all the fellow Artists in the world and my Dragonball Project to all the Dragonball series fans around the globe. This is for you!!!!!!!
Here's to a new beginning!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello everyone. I trust that everyone's holiday went well. I know that for some of us the holiday season is not over yet so I hope that you all keep on having a good time with friends and family.
On to business.
As you all know, Dragon Ball apex was in a small hiatus due to some disagreements, opinions and plot holes that were affecting the story. During this leave of absence, there has been some discussion as to where Dragon Ball apex would take Route. It also gave us time to gather information on the last two Dragon Ball Z movies that currently came out and also allowed us to further gather information due to the Dragon Ball super manga that is out.
Dragon Ball apex will indeed be taking a different route from Dragon Ball Z super, Goku and the Z characters. Just like before, we will see the Z characters at the beginning of the story but then we will break loose from that and go our own way until later on in the story where we will indeed we meet the Z characters once again. With that being said, this will be the starting point of the project. I will be opening up a discussion on the Dragon Ball apex deviantART page like we used to do to start the project once again.
First and foremost of all, I would like to congratulate , :, and As they are now officially Dragon Ball apex artists. Their artwork will indeed have a major role in the story and comic book as I will be using the exact panels and cells they create with only slight modifications so that we can get this project going.
In other news, I am sad to say that Paul Guas is no longer part of this project due to his long absence and the fact that he has not been cooperating at all with the development of the story between myself and grinning sorrow. We will still be using Saug... but he will instead be a villain. More on that later.
Anyone that would like to help out with artwork is more than welcome to do so, and if the artwork can be placed into the comic book it will indeed be done.
Also, Everyone that contributes to this project will indeed get full credit for the project as this is a team based project and everybody will be treated equally.
On my end, I will keep trying to contact grinning sorrow so that I may get you guys all the proper information needed for further discussions. I will also be continuing the new character models for all the characters that will be in Dragon Ball apex as well as their forms.
Finally, as I stated before in a passed journalist entry, I have started removing artwork and other items from the Dragon Ball apex page to make room for all the new stuff that we will be working on. I have removed different artwork as well as my own art due to the fact that I don't want any confusion between the new Apex items and the old. Please don't take me removing your artwork or anything else personally. We're just starting with a clean slate. I would never delete artwork for no reason.
Sometime during the day today, I will have the first discussion post on the Dragon Ball apex DA page.... so please keep an eye out for it.
I would also like to discuss what would be a proper weekly meeting schedule for you guys. My suggestion is probably Saturdays and or Sundays in the evening due to the fact that most people can meet those days. Please let me know in the comments below if the weekends during the evening is a good time for all of you to meet up with me. The meetings would probably take place via da chat.
Please comment below if able so that I know that you saw this message

With unmanned drones in the skies and the launch of secret commando raids, Somalia must feel like familiar territory for the CIA veterans who have moved to East Africa. They are hunting terrorists in a failed state, ruled for decades by tribal chieftains and brutal warlords. Its desperate people are turning in fear to an Islamist militia. al-Qaeda senses a chance to re-establish itself in the Horn of Africa.
It's all strikingly reminiscent of Afghanistan, where many of the special forces operatives and intelligence agents have just come from, probably with British SAS colleagues alongside them.
Americans have been on Somali soil before – during America's disastrous intervention in the early 1990s, which ended after the firefight that was later made into the film Black Hawk Down. Since then, the outside world has tried hard to ignore the unlucky country. But now Somalia is showing signs of becoming a second crucible of terror, one that could cause the West as much trouble as the lawless borderlands between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has warned of the risk of al-Qaeda leaders moving into the African country, which terrorists see as a good base for spreading mayhem on a troubled continent. Security services fear that under the control of al-Shabaab – a militia similar to the Taliban which has taken over much of the south and most of the capital Mogadishu – Somalia could become a new bolt hole for al-Qaeda's leadership. They are under pressure in the badlands of Waziristan, in Pakistan, which have served as their main base since bin Laden's men were driven out of Afghanistan in 2001. The route from there to Mogadishu is long but unpoliced.
Hence American raids such as the one on Monday, when a terrorist mastermind was killed in a helicopter raid. Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was wanted in connection with the bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in 2002. Americans are believed to be hunting other dangerous men who have arrived more recently.
If US commandos did land from their helicopters, as has been reported, it would have been the first time the US has had boots on the ground in the country since 1994.
Somalia's simmering and confused conflict has heated up considerably in recent years. In 2006 a conservative group called the Islamic Courts Union took over Mogadishu, and were welcomed by most Somalis for bringing security, at the cost of imposing moral repression. But they looked too much like the Taliban to Washington, which recalled training camps al-Qaeda had in the south of the country in the 1990s. So Somalia's old enemy, Ethiopia, was encouraged to invade and reinstall a government comprised of former warlords.
It didn't work. Hundreds of Ethiopian soldiers died in an unwinnable guerrilla war, the streets of Mogadishu became lawless again without the Courts militia to police them, and the ranks of the al-Shabaab ("the Youth") swelled as young men joined to attack the invader.
Earlier this year the bloodied Ethiopians pulled out. Their defeat has been a huge boost for al-Shabaab, which has transformed itself from the youth wing of the Islamic Courts into a much more radical movement, praised by al-Qaeda for resisting Christian Ethiopia and its US backers.
Since then the confused fighting has only got worse. Somali leaders, the United Nations, the African Union and foreign diplomats are all apparently unable to come up with a political solution.
Thousands of civilians have died, more than a million have fled their homes for miserable shanties outside the capital or across the border in Kenya, and nearly half the population needs aid to survive. It is one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world, and makes an ideal breeding ground for terrorism.
America's alarm was heightened earlier this year when it emerged that the children of Somali immigrants had travelled from Minneapolis to their parents' homeland to join the jihad. Three of them are believed to have died, including one who may have become the first American suicide bomber.
There are fears that the sons of Britain's Somali community may also be answering al-Shabaab's rallying cry. Somali immigrants to Britain went there to flee war. Most are interested in making money, not fighting jihad. But elders are concerned that the virus of jihad may be taking root among the young. Like the sons of law-abiding Pakistani immigrants, there are those among the second generation who believe their faith is under attack from America, and some are willing to defend it.
So far the fighting has been confined to Somalia, but there are fears that attacks could be launched in Britain and the US. One of the aims of the special forces' secret war in Somalia is to prevent that.
But the West has repeatedly got Somalia wrong, and could once again be sleepwalking into another costly military misadventure.
"What you have in Somalia is a dangerous mix, and it is a place that we should keep an eye on," says Roger Middleton, an expert on the country with Chatham House. "How much al-Qaeda contributes to the war, we simply don't know."

Cranberry White Chocolate Scones
Recipe by chinasmom2000
A very tasty scone recipe that takes no time at all. Though the recipe calls for dried cranberries, I usually use a mix of dried cherries and berries for variety and often use more than the 1/2 cup called for. I also sprinkle turbinado sugar on the top for a bit of crunch. I specify cutting this in sixths, which makes a good size scone, but if you want smaller ones, try eighths and cut down on baking time.

Recent policy submissions
Consumer Affairs Australia and New Zealand – Review of the Australian Consumer Law
This review looks at the content of the Australian Consumer Law, particularly whether the protections are adequate or need reform. There are two stages to the consultation and the review will conclude with CAANZ tabling its report to Federal Parliament in March 2017.
The first consultation stage involved the release of an Issues Paper. You can view our submission in relation to this issues paper in PDF (19-page, 745 KB) or Word (19-page, 87.2 KB) format.
CAANZ collated responses to the issues paper and produced an Interim Report, which distilled down the issues that they deemed important/ practical for reform. The second involved responses to the Interim Report, to which we did another submission. You can view our second submission in PDF (22-page, 917 KB) or Word (22-page, 102 KB) format.
We met with the CAANZ Secretariat twice in 2016 and produced 2 written submissions.
Productivity Commission – Consumer Law Enforcement and Administration Review
This review looked at the regulator model, particularly how well the multiple regulators were working at administering and enforcing the ACL across Australian jurisdictions. Although this review was not looking at how the regulators assist small businesses specifically, we used this as an opportunity to advocate that small businesses should be assisted by the regulators to the same extent as individual consumers. You can view our submission in PDF (6-page, 350 KB) or Word (6-page, 29.8 KB) format.

Support » Plugin: Options Framework » 1.7.0 failed on my theme
1.7.0 failed on my theme
Resolved KeithAdv
I have a WooCommerce site using Genesis with the child theme Ayoshop. This update broke the site. I had to delete the plugin via FTP before I could log back into the admin side. After reinstalling 1.6.0, everything was fine.
Sorry that happened, glad you were able to downgrade fine.
Can you send me a copy of the theme so that I can trace down what the issue was? My e-mail is devin [at] wptheming.com.KeithAdv
Sent! (As I noted in the email, the failure remains on version 1.7.1)
Hi Keith. The theme developer has customized the framework in a way that I wasn't quite expecting. I'll try to get in touch with them to see if they can make an update.
I e-mailed the code back to you. For anyone else who might be looking for the fix, you can find it here on pastebin:
You'll need to replace admin.php inside lib/admin with that pastebin code.
Thanks Devin! I had the same issue too.uk2kenya
I have had this issue today, and after tearing my hair out as the site was displaying fatal error even when trying to log in to the dashboard, I had to rename the plugin via ftp. However im now without the plugin.
I havent been able to get hold of an older version, could someone paste a link here please.
Like KiethAdv said, its only with version 1.7.1
Im also using genesis with child theme ayo shop! (www.uk2kenya.co.uk)
You can always get the older plugin versions by going to the front page of the plugin and clicking on the developers tab. At the bottom of the page you will see "Other Versions" and you can download the older versions of the plugin.uk2kenya
Ok thanks! Got it!
Might of sounded a bit complacent in my last comment, forgot to say apart from the glitch… thanks for the free plugin and support!
Happy to help, but I'm just a user like you. Although I'm sure Devin Price appreciates your comments.
Hi, yes, I've been travelling the last week so help in the forums in much appreciated. I got in touch with the theme author and let them know about the issues. They will hopefully get an update out.
Anyone who is using this theme and has upgraded the Options Framework can downgrade it until the theme is compatible.
Here is the link for Options Framework 1.6:

In light of the recent story regarding hackers loading viruses onto PCs in the factory, David Harley, senior research fellow, ESET and Mark James, technical team leader, ESET UK made the following comments:
David Harley, senior research follow, said, "This isn't just a known factory-specific attack like the Rakshasa Proof of Concept attack, but an attack delivered via unsecured supply chains, which means anywhere from the factory that assembled the PC (potentially even before that, if the factory sources components from outside, though I don't know how often PC factories buy in pre-imaged hard disks) to the retailer from whom the customer received it, including wholesalers (and even transport providers, in theory). More often than not, the customer doesn't know much about the origins of the system he buys, let alone the supply chain by which it reaches him.
"Of course, it's possible for a system to be compromised at the factory, and not necessarily deliberately: I remember early in my AV admin days checking a couple of factory-fresh PCs for the IT department I worked in and discovering at first bootup that they were already infected with Michelangelo. Not a big problem for us, but the supplier was mortified. Nowadays, though, it's far more complicated. In this case, the malware is capable of spreading via USB devices, so if an imaged disk wasn't actually protected before it was despatched - as presumably it wasn't - intentional or inadvertent infection would be all too easy."
Mark James, technical team leader, said, "It seems the logical place to start, if at all possible, from the malware writer's point of view; a lot of "home" users would just un-box and switch on, with Antivirus software typically being one of the later items people consider installing once the machine is up and running, usually expecting it to be preloaded from Day One. If the machine is already infected and talking to the outside world, the end user may be unaware and accept any strange occurrences as "normal for a new machine". Often the end user notices when a new machine becomes "infected and slower", but in this scenario, may not until a specific problem arises. Apart from installing the operating system (OS) yourself and installing a good Antivirus from day one, there is not a lot users can do to protect against this type of abuse and to be honest, this is often beyond the limits of the average home user. I would hope a business environment would have a procedure in place to test new machines for any kind of infection before it was added to the domain or work environment using a good Antivirus program."

|Invalid no-cache http headers
|Wed, 26 Feb 2003 15:29:34 GMT
Hi all, I encountered problems with the newer Tomcat 4 versions. There are caching-headers set on the response, in case of URL's with security constraints, which are not set in older Tomcat 4 versions versions. This results in 2 things; - The user is not able to use the back-button anymore (This page has expired, in IE6 anyway) - When you send a file as an attachement to the browser the user gets an open/save dialog. When the user presses open, the file is first put into the cache and then opened (by IE6 anyway) So this results in an 'file not found' message, because caching is disabled. In the following method in org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase: public void invoke(Request request, Response response, ValveContext context) throws IOException, ServletException { I found the following code-fragment: // Make sure that constrained resources are not cached by web proxies // or browsers as caching can provide a security hole if (disableProxyCaching && !(((HttpServletRequest) hrequest.getRequest()).isSecure())) { HttpServletResponse sresponse = (HttpServletResponse) response.getResponse(); sresponse.setHeader("Pragma", "No-cache"); sresponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); sresponse.setDateHeader("Expires", 1); } I think this piece of code is the source of the problem. When I read the specs for HTTP, I think I can conclude there are more applicable values for the "Cache-Control" header in this case. For example "private" or "no-store". Did anyone else encounter any problems of this kind, or did I overlook something?

How To Conceive a Girl
Many women trying to get pregnant want to know how to conceive a girl. Often these are people who perhaps already have more than one boy.
In fact recently it was reported that more and more couples have a gender preference when it comes to their baby but the vast majority would prefer not to resort to artificial means.
Natural ways to conceive a girlOne of the most popular means for conceiving a girl is The Shettles Method which recommends timing intercourse several days before ovulation. Many women use an Ovulation Calendar or an ovulation prediction kit as getting the timing right is obviously essential here. Unfortunately for the woman, The Shettles Method also states that ideally the woman must not climax during love making as this increases alkaline levels in the reproductive environment!
Sperm carrying the female gene is stronger and likely to last longer than the lighter, faster but more short-lived male sperm so ideally avoid sex around the time of ovulation when the male sperm will be more dominant.
Another useful fact is that the male sperm cannot survive for long in acidic environments so this can easily be used to your advantage by raising pH levels. Typically this is done by consuming foods high in magnesium and calcium as well as using homemade douches prior to having sex.
When a couple is making love, shallow penetration is encouraged as the area closest to the vaginal entrance is naturally more acidic so it is better if the sperm is deposited in that area. It's important to bear in mind all the time that once the egg is fertilized by a sperm the gender of the baby is set in place. Be patient when you are trying out these methods and ideally combine them together for the best results.
Scientists, from Maastricht University have also discovered that a combination of the timing of sex and the right food are the key to conceiving a girl or a boy. Women trying to become pregnant should cut out sodium and potassium-rich foods, like olives, bacon, smoked salmon, potatoes, prawns, blue cheese and even bread and pastries. Ideally they should eat foods containing lots of calcium instead such as yoghurt, hard cheese, canned salmon, oranges, spinach, almonds and broccoli. Women should also eat magnesium-rich foods like brazil and cashew nuts, whole wheat cereals, beans and figs.
Dad's diet, apparently, has no effect whatsoever on what sex the baby will be. Previous studies of women who have only ever given birth to boys indicated that their diet had contained mainly potassium and sodium-rich foods.
Good luck whatever happens.

LAST DAY to REGISTER!!! @SportingKC_SCN @KCBluesRugby @KCRUGBY https://t.co/8f3uYbj20g https://t.co/an2P3PiS5A
Registration Opens January 1st
Registration Closes March 8
The goal of our Flag Rugby League is to introduce young players to the game of rugby, while incorporating its traditions of sportsmanship, teamwork and ultimately having fun. This league will consist of school-grade divisions. Each division plays a variation of the game with its own specific rules and procedures.
Our Tackle Rugby League, for 3rd through 8th Grade Boys and Girls, will introduce young players to the game of rugby, while incorporating the tackle aspect of the game. Since tackling in rugby is much different than any other contact sport, there will be a big emphasis on coaching the proper technique of making, and taking tackles. Our goal is that players learn the contact aspect of rugby, but most importantly are safe. All Tackle players will be required to play with a Scrum Cap and Mouthpiece. In addition, all Tackle Rugby players will also play some Flag Rugby games to help them get a full understanding of the game. This Division will play a variation of the contact game with its own specific rules and procedures.
Earlier this Fall, HYR joined the Sporting Club Network. By joining the Sporting Club Network, HYR members will automatically become members of Sporting Club.

Hello Everyone,
I work for a local government and we are looking into replacing our current firewall. We currently use isa 2006 enterprise and untangle for spam filtering.
We are entirely windows servers and am looking into MS TMG standard as the obvious replacment. However are there any other companies i should look into who support publishing OWA and using ipsec VPNs?
Thank you

Astaro by Sophos is what we use. Works very well.

Shameless plug but Netgear makes a very effective device that should meet all your requirements.
Jan 18, 2012 at 8:16 UTC
Internal I.T. Ltd is an IT service provider.
Astaro all the ways We have been working with them for a few years and live them
Jan 18, 2012 at 10:34 UTC
Define publishing OWA. ISA was built for Exchange and Share point. I would recommend a hardware firewall at the edge and behind it your ISA. I would recommend a Fortigate device.
Jan 19, 2012 at 4:47 UTC
Checkpoint UTMs look good to me - currently evaluating.
been looking at Astaro's as well but kinda discounted on price and also on the fact that it's also a traditional proxy for web fitering ala ISA. But as you're already running this way that shouldnt be an issue for you. (ie not invisible to the user)
wrt to TMG, there's quite a bit of rumour about that MS are about to kill that entire product line
Jan 19, 2012 at 10:02 UTC
Outermost Systems, LLC is an IT service provider.
My Astaro ASG 220 has performed flawlessly since I purchased it last April (after the SonicWall stroked out...)
Jan 19, 2012 at 3:07 UTC
What is ISA not doing that would make you consider something else?
Jan 22, 2012 at 11:06 UTC
Any updates...
When you stated "publish OWA" remmeber that all firewalls will port forward so if you ask will it publish OWA most people will say, yes. ISA/TMG do more than just port fowarding they will publish OWA.
Jan 23, 2012 at 4:27 UTC
Smoothwall and Sonicwall are both wise choices. They offer secure VPN as well as firewall solutions.

How do I center blocks of text on my form?Asked by imccauley on February 14, 2017 at 04:02 PM
I'm trying to center blocks of text (fields) on my form underneath my category headings, but I'm not having much success. Can you please help me with this issue?
JotForm Support
I think you have figured this out already. I see some texts in the form are now centred. Please let us know if you require additional assistance.
Actually I'm still struggling to center the text blocks. I was able to center headers on my form, but need code/help centering the different fields within the headers. Can you help me with this? Thanks in advance!!
JotForm Support
Sure we can help. Please point us to all what you would like centered, and we will assist you with that ASAP.
Thank you in advance. We are awaiting your reply.
I want to center all fields from "Parish or Mission" to "Please leave a comment..." on the first page.
JotForm Support
Add this CSS code to your form:
.form-section {
margin :0 auto !important;
.form-line {
text-align : center !important;
.form-label.form-label-top {
text-align : center !important;
.form-input-wide.jf-required {
margin :0 auto !important;
Thanks for this help, but the code didn't align dropdown inputs. Is there a way to correct this?
JotForm Support
I am not exactly sure if I understood you correctly. Dropdown fields should be center aligned. If you also want to center align dropdown options that was selected the add this CSS code as well.
select {
text-align-last : center;
text-align : center;
-ms-text-align-last : center;
-moz-text-align-last : center;
Fields that are not aligned properly are Shrink fields.
Here is my demo form: https://form.jotform.com/70455096873970

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a CPO against the father of my child but I'm trying to find out how i can go about dropping/dismissing this CPO by myself or do i need an attorny and where can i go to dop/dismiss this CPO. Also him and I have court at the end of the month over the CPO about it being violated so can i still drop it?
Contact the Domestic Relations Court office that has jurisdiction over the CPO. You should be able to find out how to voluntarily dismiss the CPO. Contact a local criminal defense attorney regarding the criminal charge. Prosecutors often do not agree to dismiss criminal charges after the charges are filed. A local criminal defense attorney may be able to help the father and you, the prosecuting witness.

Marjorie Turner's hectic life takes a turn for the worst when a steamy affair ends with the death of her lover following a particularly rampant session.
A somewhat confused tale of three lots of siblings, an extra-marital affair and an inconvenient death sees Kirstey Alley as Marjorie Turner, the doctor's wife who has one brief fling with Sam Elliott before he croaks, thanks largely to their furious squelching.
Panicked, she returns home. Meanwhile the body is discovered by a salesman (Pullman), who can't report it because his brother (O'Neill) is running for Police Chief and he wouldn't stand a chance with a murder suspect as a brother.
Flitting in and out are Marjorie's wacky, devil-may-care sister (Gertz) and the rest of hubby Harry's smug medical family (notably his sister, Fisher), while Gertz falls for O'Neill and it becomes apparent that Harry's long-lost brother has gone missing.
Still with us? If it all sounds confused, that's t because it is. And therein lies the essential problem with Carl Reiner's latest work. Although Alley shows herself to be a comic actress of genuine talent, and while the observations on sibling rivalry and familial relationships are often razor sharp, there are just too many characters and too much going on for Sibling Rivalry to really fire on all cylinders.
Funny in parts, but by the time all the ends are neatly tied up, you're-just too tired and bewildered to care.

GREENWOOD — A Greenwood doctor charged in a murder-for-hire case is asking the Mississippi Supreme Court to remove a judge appointed to preside over his case.
The Greenwood Commonwealth reports that the latest twist in the case came after Judge Breland Hilburn denied another request to recuse himself and levied sanctions on Smith's attorney, William Bell.
In Supreme Court documents, Bell asks the justices to replace Hilburn and lift the sanctions. Bell has argued that Hilburn improperly discussed the case with the psychologists examining Dr. Ralph Arnold Smith Jr.
Hilburn imposed unspecified sanctions on Bell for filing frivolous motions.
Hilburn was appointed to hear the criminal and civil cases against Smith after all the Leflore County circuit court judges recused themselves.
Smith has been undergoing a court-ordered mental evaluation at the Mississippi State Hospital since June.
Smith's criminal and civil cases have been indefinitely postponed.
Smith is charged with murder as the alleged instigator of a plot that ended with the death of gunman Keaira Byrd and the serious wounding Derrick Lacy. Byrd allegedly was hired to kill attorney Lee Abraham, who represented Smith's ex-wife in their divorce years ago. Abraham was not injured.
Smith is also charged with two counts of conspiring to murder Abraham.
He has been held without bail since his arrest in 2012.
Hilburn has denied previous attempts to remove him from the case.
Bell arguments in court documents that Hilburn discussed the case privately with one of the psychiatrists involved in Smith's evaluation and with Dr. Roy Lubit, a New York psychiatrist Hilburn would like to bring in to assist with the evaluation.
Bell argues those discussions were improper. Bell also argued that, by seeking out Lubit, Hilburn exhibited bias against Smith.
In denying Bell's motion, Hilburn wrote that he spoke with Lubit and the doctor at Whitfield in order to select a competent psychiatrist as required by law.

Loved it here. Big, bright, modern, clean bedroom with the biggest bed I've ever seen. A really nice smell in the room too, like floral cologne.
The room has everything you need for a hassle free, enjoyable stay: big tv, safe, mini bar, espresso machine, bath and shower.
The location isn't dead central but it's a short 15 min walk over the lake to the old town, so it's really no issue unless you loathe walking. Nearby is a cash point, supermarket and plenty of patisseries.
We ate a meal in the restaurant too and it was beyond excellent. Very very expensive though. Local wines, great service and food that you won't believe.
The staff were great. Professional, really friendly and very eager to help me with my broken and shambolic use of the French language.
One of the best hotels i have ever stayed in my life. Will return again!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- A few steps from the lake, close to the business and shopping areas, Eastwest Hotel is the ideal home away from home to make the most of your stay in Geneva. The old town and the international organizations are a few minutes away. ... more less

Biographical Information
Contact Info for G. Jesse Gledhill:
Address: Hand of Man Studio Gallery
195 Janette, upper
Windsor, Ontario
Canada N9A 4Y9
G. Jesse Gledhill believes that while one doesn't always begin one's working life as an artist, one can nevertheless be born an artist. As in his case, it sometimes takes years of various jobs before one attains the possibility of dedicating life to art. As a youth, survival precluded even the thought of artistic inclination.
Jesse's work portrays the human experience. The same essential emotional complexities exist now as they did when man first painted a cave wall; something essential was being said about the nature of man. Jesse's technical accomplishment brings this idea to the audience even when the psychological aspects may remain latent to the viewer. The means whereby all of us adjudicate the world in which we live are intellectual and emotional. An intellectual response is learned, whereas emotion is innate and Jesse's work is a vector which appeals to the latter. This self-taught artist has combined several 'isms' to end up with a style of his own and his challenge is to be revealing rather than merely novel.
Jesse is also a member of: Ontario Society of Artists (osa) and Society of Canadian Artists (sca).
Jesse now lives and works in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on the border of Detroit, MI, USA; many years of post university travel have provided subject matter for much of his work.

This is where Mitsu failed - they created a blazing-fast follow-up to the IX with all sorts of new tech, fancy Recaros, etc. and then put it into sedan form only with a price higher than the STI. Subaru went with the low-cost solution - old tech, old engine, utilitarian hatchback, and a few nicer amenities in the interior. Recession hits and Mitsu can't figure out why they're going out of business. They responded as quick as they could with a Fastback version of their Lancer, but it was too little/too late.
No doubt that the Evo is the better performing car - but the number of people racing these cars on the weekend does not make for a big enough market at this price range.
Reminds me of my experience walking around the auto show last year - Mitsu salesguy calls me over to check out the Evo X.
I say: "Yeah, they're awesome cars but I already bought a new car last year".
He asks: "What did you buy?"
I say: " I got an STI"
He rolls his eyes and says: "Why did you waste your money on that, the Evo X is faster!"
I say: "Yeah, but it won't hold me and my wife and our luggage. Real life, man..."
I paid less for my Evo than the STi. And I disagree about buying it for the speed (though it is way more mod friendly). The Evo drives nicer. I went with my STi (2005) over the Evo 8 because it drove nicer (less bumpy, better turning radius, etc.). I bought the Evo X because it drove nicer than the STI. It drives like a Honda when in traffic and is much more comfortable on long drives than my STi was. The only thing I can say that is better in the STI is the trunk room. Oh, and gas mileage in my Evo running mid 12s is 26mpg on the highway and around 20mpg around town which was much better than I got in my STI. I also like that now my Evo is wingless (well, it's got a DL trunk), it attracts a lot less attention than the STI seems too, since it is based on the regular sedan.
I think Mitsu markets their good vehicles poorly (maybe with the exception of the Outlander Sport). But the Evo (I guess you could say the same for STI) is less than a fully loaded Accord V6 Coupe. I think they believe specialty vehicles are for those "in the know" vs being a mainstream vehicle in their line up.
I think Mitsus other problem here is that they do well in other countries with their line up and try to apply it here. It seems the Lancer is the official car of Canada, and their small car line up does well in many other countries. Seems like they would need to focus on something that is big and fast to do well here.

Last Supper
By: Micah Pries and Matt Manskar
On the evening before his death, Jesus gathers his disciples together for supper. This supper was going to be their last meal together.
Before the meal he washes the feet of everyone who attended his supper. This significance of Jesus washing the peoples feet shows how Jesus takes the lowest position and acts as a servant to the others. This signifies Jesus as not wanting them to treat him like a emperor.
During the meal Jesus tells everyone the fact that he will be betrayed by one of his twelve followers. This shocks many of the disciples and it will end up being Judas Iscariot who betray him.
He shares the bread and wine, which he says are the symbols for his body and blood.This institution of the Eucharist is still in effect to this day.

Nashville private investigator Jared McKean has a son with Down syndrome, a best friend with AIDS, an ex-wife he can't seem to fall out of love with, and a weakness for women in jeopardy - until one frames him for murder.
His DNA and fingerprints are found at the murder scene, his voice is on the victim's answering machine, and the victim was killed with a bullet from his gun. To make matters worse, his teenage nephew comes out of the closet and runs away to join a dangerous fringe of the goth subculture. Now Jared must find a way to clear his name, hold his family together, and solve a case that could cost him his life.
Jaden Terrell is a member of Mystery Writers of America, Private Eye Writers of America, International Thriller Writers, and the Tennessee Writers Alliance. The former special-education teacher is the executive director of the Killer Nashville crime literature conference and a SEMWA Magnolia Award winner. A graduate of the Citizen Police Academy and the FBI/TBI Citizen Academy, Terrell has a red belt in Tae Kwon Do and is certified in equine sports massage therapy.
"This is a first-rate PI novel that opens with one of the best-constructed frame-ups I've ever read.…Written in spare, note-perfect prose, with a knockout plot and characters who don't go away when you close the cover, this is a terrific book. I hope there's going to be a lot more of Jared McKean." (Timothy Hallinan, Edgar Award nominee)
"The stuff Hollywood movies are made of: suspense, intrigue, hi-fi action - all the ingredients of a staple thriller are there in the correct proportions in Racing the Devil.…Terrell delivers a punching thriller that's pure Hitchcockian in suspense." (New Mystery Review)

Keep One Step Ahead
Yes, I think that the audio edition of Racing the Devil would be better than the print. I did not read the printed version but the audio was very good. I enjoyed listening to the narration by Nick Sullivan. He did an excellent job.
The book kept me wanting to read until the end. The story was fast paced from the beginning until the end. I listened to the novel in one day. The story started out good and stayed that way.
I love horses and so does the protagonist, Jared McKean. He went to see a gelding, not because he wanted to purchase the advertised horse but for an ulterior motive. He had to see the horse to keep up his charade but the tenderness Jared used to check the horse out was touching. The horse responded a little warily at first but Jared was able to gain his trust in a short period of time.
Yes. Jared went to Calvin's home and what he saw there was heart stopping. I won't spoil the scene because it is relevant to the story.
There was good character development. The story had several well orchestrated scenes that kept me wanting to hear more. There is one more book in the series but I'm hoping that it will continue and the writer will add more books. I will purchase the book because Racing the Devil left me wanting to know more about the characters. The same narrator reads the next book and he was an excellent narrator as I mentioned above. There was mystery, drama, kindness, anger and many more emotions distributed throughout the novel which helped to make it a good read, also. The plot followed throughout until the end.

STERBHAUS – New Level of Malevolence (CD)
Most of you know I'm not a big fan of death metal, but there's one band that I just fucking LOVE!! Ever since I saw the video for The House Of The Dead Dwarf, which proved the level of self-distance and humor this band possesses, I just love their quirky boundary-less technical and quirky, yet quite melodic death metal. Their previous album, Angels For Breakfast… And God For Lunch really rocked my world for a long time. So, I'm happy to say that with the follow-up New Level of Malevolence, they have even stepped it up. This is bloody outstanding! I even have a soft spot for Marcus Hammarström's evil sounding, screechy, but not painful vocals, which actually fits the music perfectly. I don't think you're supposed to fell happy when listening to death metal, but I have a smile on my face every time I listen to this band. The album is full of little surprises which just throw you off in all directions without warning, and I love that. Predictable? No way in hell! There are traces of classic heavy metal, death metal, thrash, prog metal, doom, polka and… you name it, and that is just in the title track alone! There's actually one band that sometimes comes to mind, and which I also love, and that's F.K.Ü. They both have the same level of intensity and power. Also, tell me the last time you heard neck pick-up Stratocaster being played in a thrash/death tune? This is a new level of excellence!

Hi Janne, the band IDLEWAR has just released their debut EP "Dig In". They are a old school hard rock band from Southern CA. Let me know what is the best way to get that to you. Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner. For some reason I did not see your comment until now. It's maybe a bit late now, but I'm actually really interested in hearing Idlewar. Send me an e-mail on stark(at)starkmusic(dot)net

3 Common Errors That Will Ruin Your SMS Marketing
You worked hard to get those customers on your SMS marketing list. But now they are unsubscribing like crazy, or maybe just no longer responding to your messages. What happened? Maybe you've committed one of the following common, but easy to fix, errors that can completely drive your customers away.
- You included a misspelled keyword in your message. The message you sent was perfect with a clever keyword. But you received zero replies. Then you hear about the calls to customer service where people complained that the keyword didn't work. You read the message again and notice it was spelled wrong. Ouch. Between human error and the autocorrect features on just about everything, a misspelled keyword is not only likely but probable. Always have at least two people review the message before you send it. One of them should be someone who isn't working on that campaign so they have an objective eye. If you're a small business and you are the only one in the marketing department get anyone else around to review it. It's a small mistake that's very easy to fix before the message is sent. Afterwards not so much. Will your customers forgive you? Why take the chance they won't?
- The offer you sent can't be used. Beyond spelling errors, you might send an offer before it is valid, or maybe after it expired. Perhaps there was a miscommunication between your marketing department and the website department and the coupon code hadn't been activated. Or the POS system in store hadn't been updated appropriately. Whatever the reason, it's an awful feeling for the customer to have when they don't get the deal they wanted. Keeping track of timing, and all the moving parts of a campaign is challenging for sure. But since SMS messaging is so simple to do (like sending an email), it can be easy to forget about making sure everything else is lined up before sending out the offer. Make sure you have a checklist and review process in place. Better to get it right the first time than to send out an apology message later.
- You send too many messages. If you followed SMS best practices, you told your customers how many times you send them messages per month or week when they signed up to your list. If you send more than that, people will get irritated. They've trusted you with their personal mobile number and they are likely to feel like you're spamming them with too many offers. Or worse, if you've committed one of the errors above then you send them apology messages and more offers. Remember every message gets their attention. That's the power of SMS messaging. Don't abuse the power, even for good reason, or your customers will start opting out.
These simple errors can cause more than simple embarrassment for you and your company too. They could upset your whole marketing strategy. Say you send out a message with the wrong keyword. Now you have to send out an apology message that includes the correct keyword. You look bad, but that's not all. Assume you promised to send only four messages per month, but now you've just used one of those up for your apology. Your next campaign was a series of three messages introducing special deals on a new product launch. But you've already sent two messages that month (the one with the error and the apology).
What do you do? Well, you send them five SMS messages that month, or you push off the next campaign until the following month. But then you have to adjust every campaign that comes after that…and so on. You'll have to judge the impact of each option, but the point is there is no painless way to fix it. You can violate the trust your customers put in you by sending extra messages or you can change all your marketing plans.
Fortunately these types of errors really are avoidable. Plan, type carefully, and have at least one person from outside the campaign review every message prior to sending.
If you would like to read about more errors to avoid, or see great examples of best practice just browse our archive of Mobile Marketing blog posts.
