The free stuff works fairly well, but BEWARE of using credit cards with this site. I'm currently trying to recover a bogus charge and their phone line (800-928-1987) puts you on hold for about 1 minute and then a recording comes on that states :I'm sorry, no one is available to take your call, goodbye." You are then promptly hung up on. I'll keep you posted on what happens
Delete Me did absolutely nothing to remove my name and sensitive info from the Internet. Complained numerous times to Delete Me. Always attempted to assure me they would "take care" of the situation. The Internet also shows I lived in a city in Ohio in which I never lived. Complained about this with no assistance. I'm not even able to log into my account any longer. This website was recommended by USA Today. Will never trust that news outlet again for suggestions. Delete Me was a huge waste of time and money.
A Google search of my name came up with hundreds of links to offensive sites. The various domain owners were listed from New Jersey to Latvia. Google stipulates that for them to remove the links, you must first contact the spammers PERSONALLY and request the deletion! Can you imagine doing that?!? The "deletion-specialist" at Abine, who also happened to be an attorney, was absolutely great! She actually contacted these people, and before long, the links revealed "Error 404" messages, opening the door for Google's monthly "crawl" of the web to eliminate them.
We're talking hundreds of offensive links! My name was Mud and now it isn't, Thanks to Abine. Hearing the recommendation of this company by Wall Street Journal reporter, Julia Angwin, on the NPR show, "Fresh Air" was a pivotal moment in time. Thanks Abine!
the mask cc is not worth it. charged my card 4 times for the same purchase even though the website replied that the masking was not established correctly. Finally had to use my cc in the clear to complete the purchase so was charged 5 times for 1 purchase. and now have to file dispute between CC company, vendor, and Abine.
I downloaded this program on advice of a friend. It worked great, that is until I updated to a newer version. Then my IE8 browser would not work. It would open and then immediately close. Removed the program and have had no problems since. Would like to know what caused this so I can once again download this program.
I added the ad tracker b/c I didn't want to be tracked, said no ads etc so I signed up. Then to day as I was working online I get this page https://www.abine.com/donottrackme-post-install/?b=ie&o=DNTP_www_abine_com&v=220.127.116.112&t=www_abine_com#
that auto pops up, closed it, comes up again. REALLY?....YES I SAID REALLY! So then I proceed to tell Olivia the agent to tell the CEO not to lie to people and she smarts off with "well you signed up for it and things
(I worked sales in & out for over 5 years and I can tell when a CSR is being rude, smart, and just doesn't give a crud about her job. Yes, low wages and everyone tells her off all day but that is NOT how you make a sale/commission!!!!! PERIOD.)
I then tell her to not be a "kunt and not have an attitude" and she just ends call (it's two curse words for her to do that, and she broke protocol, plus if she cared she would listen to 100. I did and had an 36% client turn over rate on great discount membership cancellations. She don't care, or give a crud AT ALL!!! Or she would have tried to make a sale/commission for me to keep your product but didn't!!!
1St: STOP LIEING TO CUSTOMERS AND YOUR CSR WOULDN'T GET CALLED A "$#*!".
Now I'll apologize for saying the c word and such, but the problem with companies is YOU CANT BE HONEST. The truth will set you free, be upfront & honest and you will achieve your dreams. Till then, keep getting called a C and put up with jerks like me that can sell anything and flip an irate customer upside down, buying triple of what your offering.
PS: You unsubscribe me or I will report this to the Kansas State Attorney General's Office for your "borderline" illegal practices!!!! Cold/Warm email marketing.....come one magazines did better! And fire that HR person that hired Claudia because she can't trained a wet dog!
Thank you, have a wonderful day (truly do have a good day)
I have barely started using 2 of the Abine products, free versions. Do Not Track Me & MaskMe. I get an email request from Abine to take a survey for Abine:
Help us develop our next privacy tool
Here at Abine we're hard at work developing the next big tools in online
privacy, and could use your help to make them better. We rely on user
feedback to make sure we're developing products our users will love.
If you have 1-2 minutes, please help us out by taking a quick survey.
So, I agreed & got into the survey. First question was which of their products I use, Second question was wanting to know if I pay for an identity theft protection. Third question is about all my insurance coverage.. health, auto, etc. & I just closed the survey window.. I don't think this was cool, at all. Why do they need to know what kind of insurance I purchase & use? I agreed to take the survey to help them better their product & they want to know my insurance usage, almost at the very beginning of the survey.
It appears that they were not trying to better their product, but sell me another product. I went back and went through the survey & it just seems like a convoluted hot mess.
I have no use for companies that aren't more honest & to the point. Just try to sell me something else. Do not mask your sales attempts! Especially when you are trying to sell me privacy software.
Also, I noticed that the MaskMe program had recorded my log in info on a couple of my accounts that I have had for years, that I had not used the MaskMe service to create. I got no permissions requester, at all, to do this. Found it odd that it only did this on a couple accounts, rather than all that I had logged into, since I started using MaskMe.
MaskMe is still in beta & only offered after I installed Do Not Track Me.
Works well if you only need a password manager, phone line, email, etc. But if you need to keep your information private they are no better than other free or less expensive solutions. No one can keep your information 100% private and they quickly lose value when they can't measure up, even close in many instances. Why pay a lot for mediocre service? It's like owning a car that still runs, but most of the controls stop working or only work sometimes.
Try to cancel your account and be ready to be talked down to, told your reasoning is flawed and told you should reconsider your decision. Overtime you think you've seen all the companies that couldn't possibly have any worse regard for customers, but these guys will surprise you.
They cannot do what they claim. They auto renew each year taking money without asking. There is no staff to talk to. If you leave they open the floodgates and pour out all private info they can find. When that isn't enough they add you to spam lists. Vindictively they continue in this progressive manner unless you sign up again. Don't be surprised when these activities are followed by an Abbie DeleteMe ad. I advise to shun this hateful, worthless service. They can delete your complaints about them too.
After a few days it starting redirecting me to site to buy $#*!
I use firefox..link above can help you uninstall that $#*!
Abine is providing a tool do not track me. i installed the tool and it looks working fine. But my concern is they are tracking us by showing number of trackers stopped by Abine tool using some sort of their own tracker that is not blocked by them. They say the data they have is safe but that's what all companies say. How about when they are getting acquired by a bigger company? Data will be sold to them. Irony - Do not Track itself tracks me.
DNTM has blocked 75,000 trackers; works very well. Masking my email and phone is fantastic; enjoying the feeling of privacy. Had a few problems with credit card masking but the staff at Abine has been first class. Especial thanks to Samantha who worked with me to solve the problem, kept me informed, was unfailingly courteous, prompt, and made sure my ordered birthday gift for a child got to me in time. The error in using credit card masking was probably mine but at Abine Samantha never made me feel as though it was. Not crazy about either Google or Google Chrome. Do not intend to use either one again. Google for privacy reasons; Chrome doesn't work so well.
Found this site after a friend told me that they deleted her name and address from spokeo for free, which was cool. I had a live chat with someone from deleteme, their site that deletes accounts and pages and things, to see if they'd be able to remove my name from mylife.com. I have no idea how they had my info, but it's one of the top google results for my name. They were able to do it no problem. It's a good concept for a service and I can see a lot of people needing to use it in the future.
what is the price for this service? where is my answers?
I've been using the masked emails for about a year and was very happy with the service. Later I decided to upgrade to the premium version and test out the masked cards. The first problem is that I signed up for a 1 year subscription, got charged for 3. Then the masked email that I set up for my masked card purchase (first time through the premium set up) never worked, but the credit card charge did. I'm out $132 and until this gets resolved likely to cancel my premium account.
I'm taking the time to actually review them because I had a great experience with their customer service on chat. The person I spoke with was really helpful and walked me through updating an Abine add-on. That kind of patience and attitude is hard to find these days, let alone in customer service. Their software is awesome, too. Easy to use.
Excellent hands on customer service to help me plow through the red tape and confusion surrounding account deletions. A very committed team. Highly recommended.
I like the look of Abine. It displays the relevant information about tracking, optout, and cookies at the lower right of the browser. However, unfortunately, it also slows down my browsing experience. I've tried a few things to deal with this, but it slows down my service, even the Fast Dial page I set up for Firefox. At the present time I cannot recommend this, but I do recommend they take some cues from the Ad Block and NoScript! add-ons for Firefox.
My gf used deleteme, owned by Abine, to get rid of an untrue review of her shop that her competitors put up and she was really happy with their service. I have more experience with the software end of Abine because i've been using chromeblock since it came out. I like that it's hands off unless i want to see which trackers i'm blocking, but it lets me do that, too. All in all, great customer service and cool software.
Here's something that's going to find a home in many people's browsers, I reckon. If you are already running the Taco 3 anti-cookie add-on for Firefox you've already got this installed from the time of writing this review. If not, give it a try, I think it's a useful one.
What the add-on does is to present you with a comprehensive report of what a website is up to, behind the scenes, as soon as you arrive. For example it will tell you, if it knows, what information this site is storing about you; it will tell you what, if any, tracking services the site is using to follow you around, and it will tell you how many cookies the site has dumped on your computer already. It will also give you a rough idea of how safe the site is, if you don't want to get bogged down in the various details. The data is provided in an unusually pretty format, which will catch your eye even if the information provided doesn't.
Sitejabber just squeaks into the 'safe' portion of the chart, because it uses Google Analytics, but otherwise it seems a safe enough place to visit - so far ;-)
Another service that Abine is trying out, is called 'Delete Me' and the concept here is that for a price, depending on difficulty, they will remove details about you which you or others have unfortunately posted to various places and now wish you hadn't. The most commonly requested, unsurprisingly, is removal of a Facebook or MySpace account, but the company promises to tackle much more complicated and/or secure data for an appropriate fee. As long as they keep these fees reasonable, I can see this being a popular service once the word gets around.
The Abine services are currently in beta, which means that they should be reasonably stable for most users but may throw a bug now and again, or simply that the provided data and the overall presentation hasn't been formalized yet. The browser add-on seems rock solid to me, so I see no reason NOT to give it a try. What websites are doing with whatever data they can grab is important and you should be informed, even if you don't necessarily choose to do anything drastic with that information.
I'd like to see this combined with user-created information such as that provided by the Web Of Trust service; it's not essential, since if you want that data then you will probably have joined WOT anyway. But it would be neat to have the WOT rating there, as an encouragement to join up as well as providing another layer of security. Other than that, I find little or nothing to fault about this one and it should do well.
I have been using chrome blocker since August, 2010. I use it to block all, including the 4 trackers on the Jabber website. I assume it is working. But, I will telll you that I have never been directed to purchase anything from Abine; it just keeps working quietly in the background.
Now that I know they have something that will do the same for IE, which I have to use at work since other programs I need only tie into it, I will let you know.
I'd hate for this to sound like overkill, but Abine really has changed the way I use the internet for the better. I haven't had a chance to explore all of the features yet, so I can't speak on the product as a whole, but I like what I've seen so far. The opt out functions and protection against tracking are more effective and easier to use than the add-ons I was using before I found Abine.
I also like being able to see all of the accounts I've signed up for (and allowed password save permission) but forgot existed. One such site had my credit card info stored on it as well. I was able to find this easily and delete the stored access info with the Abine privacy suite.
Finally, the email alias function and identity manager allows me to send inquiries and sign up for offers and accounts without having to worry about an onslaught of followups, surveys, and spam to my main email account.
I have to give a 4 out of 4. It's just too cool and too easy to use. I would definitely recommend it to all of my fellow privacy-conscious web surfers out there.
i cant tell any difference from the amount of files that DNT stops compared to InPrivate browsing.Both seem to allow tracking to some extent ,based on the number of temp files and cookies that are deleted when i run my ccleaner.
It seems to be doing as advertised however I get a security certificate warning that the websites certificate was issued for a different address? Any way to resolve?

The Taco 3.6 with Abine is a useful add-on, yet you almost need a PhD to understand all the terminology that goes along with it. I'm not sure it's something that I'd use on a regular basis to monitor the activity on my computer while I'm on the internet, and it almost makes me more worried with all the products out now days...is it *really* protecting me, or just another scam to get into my computer?
Customer Questions & Answers
Ok...I'm sold....I need to give this a try. I sometimes wish the internet didn't give away all of my privacy and maybe this will help
If you are using FF, it is in the Extensions store; if Chrome, in the Chrome store. It is a browser add-on.
Yes, in this case it IS safe. Intellius DOES require photo ID.

Daily Slice gives a quick snapshot each weekday of a different slice or pie that the folks at the Serious Eats empire have enjoyed lately.
By my calculations, the city of New Haven, Connecticut is 967 miles from my front door. That's a long damn way to go to pick up Frank Pepe's famous contribution to the global pizzascape, the white clam pie. Hearth Pizza Tavern in the northern 'burb of Sandy Springs seems to be one of the few shops in Atlanta to offer it on the menu. "The Great White Clam" is a white "New Haven-style" pizza with clams, a blend of cheeses, fennel sausage, roasted cremini mushrooms, fresh dried oregano, and parsley. For my first clam pie, a 2,000-mile round trip was out of the question. But 9.6? That's more like it. To Hearth I went.
As the name suggests, the pizzas (along with just about everything else on the menu that's cooked) get blasted in a monstrous custom-fabricated, gas-fired steel hearth. In awfully short order, it gave the thin but airy dough subtle spots of deep-golden-brown-to-almost-black. On top, everything congealed together awesomely, held in place by just enough cheese. Loved the toppings: big hunks of sausage, earthy mushrooms, and a nice mix of herbs, including a liberal dose of garlic. As for the clams, I don't delude myself into believing that the clams are fresh from the ocean and hand-shucked to order. (It is, after all, 250 miles from the ATLantic to the ATL; a seaport, we're not.) But I found the bivalves on my first clam pizza to have a pleasant chew with an unexpected but noticeable squeak. I don't know how Hearth Pizza Tavern's "Great White Clam" compares to the legendary clam pies of New Haven, but at 10 bucks for an 8-inch pie, it's a cost-effective way to enjoy the essence of the famed Northeastern specialty in the Deep South.

BOWLERS have reacted angrily to claims from a councillor their green is 'rubbish'.
Tory Alan Cottam made the comment about Whitehall Bowling Club during Thursday's full council forum meeting at Blackburn with Darwen Council.
But club member Patricia Turner said his comments were 'unfair' at such an early stage in the season.
The controversy started during a discussion on bowling greens in the borough which, as of last season, have to be maintained by members with just a £1,000 grant towards upkeep from Blackburn with Darwen Council.
Whitehall councillor Karimeh Foster had said how good the greens were looking.
But Livesey with Pleasington councillor and deputy mayor Coun Cottam, who is also a keen bowler, said: "I played there recently and I can tell you the greens are rubbish compared to what they used to be."
Mrs Turner said the club pays £2,500 a year to a private firm which comes in to look after the green.
She said: "We have a professional green keeper who comes in now.
"The green is not perfect but it is fine and we have only been open three weeks after a really wet off-season.
"It just isn't growing weather at the minute because of all the rain. Give us a chance!
"For him to say that is very unfair. I think it is an awful thing for him to say.
"I think a lot of the time at these big meetings some councillors just say things for effect.
"They are certainly not rubbish as we are looking after them.
"We also have a team of volunteers who work on the gardens around the green."
Mrs Turner said the club was very well used, with 10 teams playing out of it.
She said: "On some Wednesdays we have matches on all day as we have so many teams.
"The club is so accessible being right off the main road so we do get a lot of people using the green."

Topic: our experience at MD Anderson cancer center in Houson (from Seattle)
Just to re cap, my husband Rick has cc, metal stent in March when diagnosed which brought em back to the living ! He also has Bob, the 15 cm tumor on the left lobe of the liver with a couple buddies now, lesions. Its been a big no on every therapy and procedure, too big for ressection, tace, embolization etc. He did chemo but the oxy gave him such bad neuropathy. He chose quality. We have been cramming alot of life in the last few months. I can see him slipping here and there, but glad he still feels good. The tumor is so big it is hard to get stats on how others have done. .....anyway,
We went last week to the clinic, what a huge place. You could put U of Wa in the corner and loose it fast. Our choices were only clinical trials, (we figured that) one with combined chemo, and the other Herceptin (showing great promise with breast cancer but little with much else, and very hard on the heart.) They also said they would only treat there,(since it is their trial) making it hard to fly from Seattle each 3 week treatment for the Herceptin. Since nothing sounds promising, we did fly home as soon as all the appointments were done. HIs case was presented at the tumor board that evening. The doctor never did call when the board was finished, the nurse called 2 days later (today) so we are trying to consult over the phone with the doctor.
We are waiting to find out how the CTs look now, what changes Bob has made in the last 2 months, if any.
The doctor here in Tacoma wants Rick to try Tarceva, wow spendy stuff . You must have to work your way up to the good stuff which is expensive and the insurance companys of course frown on that ! In a bit of research yesturday I found Tarceva to be a fairly good chemo on the body , rashes being the cheif complaint, working well on some and not at all on others. My findings have been this is such a rare cancer they do appy therapies from other adenocarcinomas (glandular) such as pancreatic because they are common in cellular structure.
It is hard for a layman to sort out all the clinical terminology but it helps to know all we can when we have to fight so hard and there are so many existing opinions. Sharing is great, please let me know any tidbit of info if you have any input. Thanks Robyn

To celebrate Pollinator Week, Gilchrist County Busy Bee 4-H visited the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge. At the beginning of the photo safari only a couple of the youngsters knew about pollinators, but by the end of the day camp everyone could explain the benefits of native bees, butterflies, as well as some wasps and beetles.

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, Aug. 11 at the Levy County Quilt Museum. We visited for a while to find out what projects are being worked on, find out how the sick are doing and what we plan to do down the road. The group quilt does get work done on it.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought my wife a dozen roses. The occasion, you ask? Do you really have to ask? It's called planning ahead or preventative maintenance. Some may even put it in the same category as early season preparation. The funny thing is, she knows my schemes. She laughs at the brazen way I ease the shock of another deer season where she becomes a hunting widow.
I went out on a hot date the other night, and boy was my wife Angie jealous. I hated leaving her out in the cold like that, but there's just been a stirring in my soul lately. Sometimes, a man has got to do what a man's got to do.
Tucked away off Hodges Avenue in Cedar Key is arguably the ugliest circa 1960s building on the island. Don't let that fool you. Inside and around the property are a variety of things to do and see that will make you forget the rough architecture.

For most people, summer inevitably means travel. Whether it's a day trip to the coast, a two-week excursion into the back country, or a quick weekend trip to a family gathering, it is more likely than not that you will need to eat on the go at some point in the coming months. If you're like me, this means a frustrating attempt to find something at a convenience store or airport to eat that is remotely healthy and satisfying (and, in my case, vegetarian). If you have a major food allergy or celiac disease, that effort is magnified and may result in nothing safe to eat at all and then what do you do?
I'm pretty good about packing some snacks, but have been looking for more ideas so I asked our Facebook friends what they liked to pack when they were planning a trip. They had some really good ideas that I'm including here, along with some of my own.
- Fresh Fruit: an easy, delicious snack that requires pretty much no preparation and comes with it's own biodegradable container. For a real treat, slice apples before you leave and sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice to keep 'em crisp. Then, pack some peanut or almond butter in a small container for dipping.
- Mixed Nuts and Trail Mix: perfect high-protein snack that provides nutrition and satisfying crunch while delivering fuel to keep you full for hours.
- Cold Grain Salads: If you have a cooler with you, these salads will last even longer. Most, as long as they don't use mayo, eggs or cheese, will last most of the day without causing any issues. This is my go-to (made with whole wheat couscous, of course) and we have many, many more on our website to inspire. What I love about these is that they're usually enough to pull my mind from whatever junk food option is tantalizing me.
- Hummus and Vegetables: another high-protein, low fat snack that delivers on the flavor.
- Cheese: if you can do dairy, cheese is a great way to enjoy something decadent while on the go. You can go super simple with string cheese or buy a fancy brie to enjoy with sliced pears or crusty french bread.
- Dried Fruit: a great snack for when the sweet tooth attacks.
- Granola: love eating our new granola straight from the bag when I'm traveling. The whole grains keep you full and the sweetness feels utterly sinful!
Some extra tips for folks with severe food allergies or gluten intolerance:
- Make sandwiches to take along. Having a safe, gluten free sandwich might mean the difference between eating and going hungry. Plus, knowing where it was made and what was put on it will ease any fears about allergen cross contamination. Why make a trip any more stressful?
- Gluten free crackers like Mary's Gone Crackers make for great snacks. Bring along some sliced meat, cheese or spread to make them even more exciting.
- Visit a site like Gluten Free Registry or Allergy Eats to find places on your trip that will provide safe, delicious meals.
What other snacks or tips do you have for eating well on the go? Tell us in the comments, we'd love to have even more ideas for making this the best travel season yet!

Before going out, decide upon a route you've taken many times before. Sit down with your child and write a list of the things you've seen along the route. It could include anything from the flowerbox in front of the pharmacy to your neighbor's gravel driveway.
Now take your list and walk that way again. Look at it with new, watchful eyes. What do you and your child see that you've never noticed before? A dandelion growing out of a stone wall? A cat in the dry cleaner's window?
Write down the interesting new things you see. Try to double or triple your original list.

A video demo of the wicked looking Pittsburgh Modular Foundation synthesizer I previously mentioned (link). There are great things happening in the Eurorack modular community. If your don't already know and are interesting in these type of synths and modules be sure to spend time over at the Muffwiggler forums.
"The Foundation is a fully modular, eurorack, analog synthesizer. A patchable system styled after the great monosynths of the past with no hardwired signal path or fixed voice architecture to restrict creativity. Driven by two wide range analog oscillators the Foundation produces a huge, warm sound that can't be matched by digital or VST synths. All of the elements of a classic voltage controlled synthesizer are available as an open, patchable, modern synth." – pittsburghmodular

Police as agents of change in reducing HIV/AIDS stigma in ThailandSep 25, 2013
Recognizing the critical role of law enforcement agencies in the HIV response, UNDP Thailand has scaled up an innovative learning programme in partnership with the Royal Thai Police. The programme, known as the 'Thai Police as Key Change Agents: The Innovative Learning Programme on HIV and Human Rights in the Context of Law Enforcement', sensitizes law enforcement officers to issues concerning human rights, and stigma and discrimination of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and key affected populations (KAPs). It also provides general knowledge regarding modes of transmission and HIV prevention.
The innovative programme builds upon an initiative started in mid-2012 between the Royal Thai Police, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Public Health, Foundation for AIDS Rights and UNDP, which focuses on educating junior police cadets. The scaled-up programme targets higher level police officers; a key factor in ensuring sustainable integration into the police training curriculum and law enforcement practices going forward in Thailand.
Considerable achievements have been made since the programme's inauguration, including the:
• signing of a Partnership Declaration between the Royal Thai Police, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Public Health, Foundation for AIDS Rights and UNDP
• integration of the HIV-related anti-stigma and discrimination and human rights protection curriculum into the existing human rights training module provided to all junior police cadets
• training of 40 police trainers of junior police cadets
In order to scale up the initiative, which now counts the Thailand Business Coalition on AIDS (TBCA) as a partner, a new learning programme has been specifically formulated for senior police officers. Development of the programme involved an assessment of the existing levels of knowledge and attitudes towards HIV related issues within the upper police ranks. Focus groups discussions were also held with 60 commissioned police officers from multiple levels.
The final package of learning content consists of 3 parts:
Part 1 – Basic knowledge of HIV (e.g. epidemic overview, modes of transmission, voluntary counselling and treatment (VCT), prevention, key affected populations, etc.)
Part 2 – Guidelines for police practices
• HIV Policy and Management in the Workplace
• Police practice and the implementation of HIV prevention
Part 3 – Training toolkits
The learning programme, launched in mid October 2013, will showcase initial results at the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok, Thailand in November 2013.
Design of the 'Thai Police as Key Change Agents' programme is grounded in key international declarations, UNAIDS' 2011-2015 Strategy of Getting to Zero, the findings of the independent Global Commission on HIV and the Law and good practices of previously implemented law enforcement sensitization programmes.
The 2011 Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS emphasizes the need to implement programmes that "promote and protect human rights, including programmes aimed at eliminating stigma and discrimination against people living with and affected by HIV, including their families, including by sensitizing the police and judges, … supporting national human rights learning campaigns, legal literacy and legal services, as well as monitoring the impact of the legal environment on HIV prevention, treatment, care and support."
According to the Global Commission on HIV and the Law, traditional criminal justice systems and coercive law enforcement have undermined delivery of successful effective and equitable HIV prevention and treatment services. In particular, criminalization of HIV transmission as well as criminalization of some behaviours of the most vulnerable populations have discouraged people from undergoing HIV tests, disclosing their HIV status, and accessing essential health services. Law enforcement can contribute to positive changes in the lives of PLHIV and vulnerable groups through protection and promotion of equal rights and stigma and discrimination-free access to health care, employment, and education.
The Thailand programme follows the lead of initiatives from elsewhere in the region and beyond. It is increasingly becoming recognized that police must take an active, integral role in protecting human rights of PLHIV and key affected populations, curtailing the HIV epidemic, and promoting health security. Police officer activities often involve close interaction with members of the public and they are often the first responders to a range of complex situations involving criminal-, civil- or public health-related issues. Due to their respected and trusted position in society, police are well positioned to play a positive, contributing role. Examples of law enforcement HIV programmes which fed into the design of the Thailand programme include: Project DISHA Jana Kalyan Kendra in India, Friendly Policemen for HIV Prevention Programmes in Kyrgyzstan, UNODC's HIV training in prisons in Iran, Senegal's initiative on police liaison to reduce violence within the men who have sex with men community and Thai sex worker organization SWING's Police Cade Community Involvement Programme.

It was unthinkable. It was unprecedented. It still seems impossible, even after all these years.
On a warm day in the late 1980s, Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player of all time … hosted "Saturday Night Live."
A little less than a year after that whole trade thing—which officially turned 25 on Friday and has been covered once or twice in a few different places—Gretzky pulled one of the bigger coups of his time with the Kings. It was May 13, 1989. Gretzky had just finished a 54-goal, 114-assist season. Fine Young Cannibals were the musical guest.
And really, the whole situation embodied the goal Gretzky and Kings owner Bruce McNall set for themselves. It started with the trade, which rocked the larger sports world enough to land on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Then, during the regular season, more celebrities made it to the Forum for Kings games.
MORE: Must-see photos of Gretzky as a King
"Every major movie star in town wanted tickets," McNall told The Hockey News for its recent, excellent oral history of the deal. "I've got President (Ronald) Reagan calling for tickets. Tom Cruise would come a lot. So would Sly Stallone. John Candy was sort of our mascot at the time and he became almost part of the team. Tom Hanks was great. He used to send me a note—'Congratulations on the win, from your biggest fan in section 111, Tom Hanks.' He'd buy his own tickets."
Eventually, Gretzky-to-LA would get credit for creating a generation of hockey fans in Southern California, and helping make the sport viable in places other than Canada and cold-weather U.S. cities. That impact can't be ignored. Neither can the blow it dealt to Canadian fans—but, at the moment, that's not the point.
A professional hockey player hosted "Saturday Night Live." That's the point—and it's never happening again.
To view the entire episode—or at least the 36 minutes cleared for streaming—you'll need a Hulu Plus subscription. Yes, there's a seven-day free trial.
36:15 remaining: Nothing says "1989" like Panamanian election humor. The process eventually led to a U.S. invasion of the country and the eventual capture of military leader Manuel Noriega. The premise of the sketch, though, is that the pro-Noriega electoral committee, uh, doesn't respect Jimmy Carter, who was in the country to observe things, and beats him up. In this case, "him" is a dummy dressed as Dana Carvey dressed as Jimmy Carter.
You can skip this one, timeless as jokes about Carter's ineffectuality may be. Kevin Nealon, Mike Myers, Jon Lovitz and Robert Smigel are pseudo-racist caricatures. Gretzky playing Carter might've saved it.
33:25 remaining: RIP Phil Hartman.
Look how edgy Dennis Miller was! Edgy and Cool and Smart!
If only Cool Smart Man Driving Convertible knew what would end up happening to him.
And here's our guy.
32:05 remaining: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wayne Gretzky."
Double-breasted black suit. Silver, small-knotted tie. Feathered mullet. He should whistle a Paula Abdul song just to achieve Maximum 1989.
Gretzky dials the monotone up to 11 for this one, which, wisely, is part of the joke: "I was asked to host the show tonight basically because I was a good hockey player." Watching him awkwardly stand, smile and try to make it through applause breaks is delightful.
High point: "Anyway, we've got Fine Young Cannibals," should go on his tombstone.
29:35 remaining: Standard fake commercial sketch. Worth watching for Hartman, as always.
High point: "DEEEEP SLEEEEP."
28:20 remaining: This is worth it. The "Anal Retentive Chef" sketch is one of Hartman's best, and you should've seen it already. The fishing angle provides an excuse to get Gretzky involved. Shockingly, he plays himself: "Hello, Gene! Great day to fish, isn't it?!" He's trying. He's trying so hard. A mullet joke falls flat. Very flat. Literally not a single person in the audience laughed.
But hey, it's the anal-retentive chef in a boat.
High point: "Whoa, this feels like the big one!"
24:10 remaining: This is the first actual send-up of Gretzky (and McNall's) celebrity-friendly approach. He acknowledges the trade and the fact that playing in Los Angeles is different than Canada in a weird monologue. Then, he sketch is set in the Kings' locker room after their playoff loss to the Calgary Flames. Beyond that, it's standard SNL stuff—an excuse to roll out a bunch of impressions. Jon Lovitz's Stallone is impressively bad. Also featured—the only Ed Begley Jr. impression on record. This is an '80s time capsule.
High point: "Travolta" and "Nicholson" have the same plan: Replace your goalie with a little person holding a piece of plywood. Didn't notice that one on Sean McIndoe's list.
17:10 remaining: Cool Guy makes his return! Use big words, Dennis! Love it!
High point: Recurring "Field of Dreams" reference. The movie had just come out. 1989. Also, Al Franken makes an appearance and a Gary Hart joke.
6:50 remaining: "Weekend Update" was a pretty serious roadblock. Gretzky looks exhausted. Maybe he's using that legendary vision to look into the future and see that Victoria Jackson turned into a crazy person.
The premise of the sketch is that Jackson and Gretzky, as hosts of an advice talk show, are completely incapable of giving advice. It's somehow less bad than it sounds. Gretzky is playing himself. Again.
High point: This face. Acting!
This is the best-known sketch of the night. It's not available everywhere, probably because of musical rights issues. Because Gretzky sings. "Sings." Over what could be a vocal track provided by John Stamos. It's short, weird and the exact sort of sketch that tends to run in the last few minutes before everyone says goodnight.
Wayne Gretzky - Waikiki Hockey from Ofmusicalnote Page on Vimeo.
Is Gretzky playing someone else? Is that person also a professional hockey player? Why is he wearing a wig so similar to his own hair? Is this some sort of dig against hockey in warm climates? It doesn't matter. None of it matters.
High point: Hard to choose. We'll go with the wig.
1:24 remaining: It's over. Gretzky plays himself again. In a fantastic act of subversion, Mike Myers wears a Maple Leafs jersey and waves a Canadian flag.
Or he could've just been proud. Either way, it's understandable.

After I read about the post on 3 bodies of Buddha I got a thought arise in my mind.
When the Buddha meditating in midnight, he some how appear in other realm such as the heavenly realm to teach deva and deities Dhammas.
Then in what form of the Buddha actually leave the physical form and appear in another realm to teach Dhamma?
Or maybe it's the jhanic ability one gain from that actually can make you appear in other places like 'Manomayiddhi' from the 8 skills gained after attaining higher jhana.
So if it is like that, then the bodies of buddha that is actually pure and have a bodily form maybe can be explained by that skill attained from higher Jhanna by the Buddha?

Category: Italian boys' names
Until recently, Italian names–particularly for boys– have rarely ventured outside their own neighborhoods, but lately we've seen several popping up in the celebrisphere—though usually, if not always, used by celebs with Italian roots. There have been at least four Mateo/Matteos, two Roccos, two Romeos, Annabeth Gish's Enzo, Ricky Martin's Valentino, and Jill Hennessey's Marco Gianni.
These are names that have all been pretty firmly assimilated, but there are loads more undiscovered rhythmic and romantic nomi belli that could be considered—a few of which have already gained entrance via their female forms. Here are the Nameberry Picks of 15 of the best underused Italian boys' names.
Alessio—if Alessandro feels a bit too bulky, how about this more compact, equally handsome short form?
Amato—it means beloved, darling one—as loving and heartfelt as the beginning-to-be-used Valentino
Bello –as handsome as Bella is beautiful, and rarely heard outside the Italian community.
Brando—Yes, people will thinking this is in honor of great screen actor Marlon (who wasn't Italian), but it is actually a streamlined form of Brandano
Flavio—pronounced FLAH-vee-o, from an old Roman family name meaning fair, golden—a flavorful name that would be perfect for a blond bambino
Gianluca—the Italians are great name smooshers: other appealing combos include Giancarlo, Gianfranco, Gianpaolo, Pierluigi

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Class III futures were higher on the week with Q4 posting a gain of 18 cents per hundredweight, all the while Chicago Mercantile Exchange spot cheese was ¾ of a cent lower. We have consolidated and there doesn't seem to be much out there to move spot prices either way today. Seasonal demand ought to pick up some and corporate budgets are completed or just about done for most major buy side organizations. There are rumors of delays at a large cheese production facility and concerns that there could be a production problem- though nothing confirmed on this. Talk of a new plant going into Idaho has been strong for months and is heating up in an already tight milk state.
Volatility is falling off here and that means traders are beginning to snooze; they usually are a woken in a panic meaning a spike in volatility. Overall, we expect that cheese prices will break free from there $1.70 balance sometime over the next two weeks but for today, traders are waiting on a host of fresh news to be released this week.
Cheese futures separated from Class III a bit this week and opened some potential arbitrage doors, we will have to keep an eye posted.We expect that milk and cheese will move together. Friday concluded the week on a firm tone and the week is likely to pick up there as well.
Class IV had some low volume sessions last week but ended with 33 trades last Friday. Prices were 6 cents higher on the week as volatility seemed to evaporate from Class IV pricing. Without this being the "higher of" market, many potential participants have simply stepped away for the moment.
Overnight class III futures traded only three times, all months were unchanged other than Sept. 12 which was -13, we shall not read anything into that.
We look for milk to open mixed.
The December corn chart looks bearish. The price has fallen and fallen hard. The price is below the 20 and 50 day MA and challenging to approach the 200 day moving average. Fibonacci levels indicate we have only challenged the first level of support thus far, more challenges likely lay ahead.
The largest hedge fund in the world, the Goldman Sachs Alpha fund, which had over 11 billion under management, has closed its doors. There is strong belief this was a long only fund and was heavy into agriculture. This is not the only large fund to close its door in the last couple weeks. The momentum is lower in all the grains right now, corn is just the prime example, but undoubtedly if the pressure remains, there would be more room to the downside in beans. Late last week frost concerns helped prop up the beans a bit more than corn because of growing season timing, but we will try and "kill the crop" again before it's out. So you can see while there is pressure, it's not straight down and there should be solid bounces upward to provide selling opportunities.
Overnight prices leaked further and further into the morning on rain in the SouthWest hitting the wheat price and on outside market weakness as crude, equities and the entire like fell whole the USD soared as though it was once again quality paper.
We look for corn to open 6 to 8 lower, beans to open 10 to 12 lower, meal to open 2 to 3 lower and for wheat to open 6 to 8 lower.

I was given this ring 22 years ago, by a family member who bought it at a flea market for $20.00. In my new interest of the show "pawn Stars" I got curious if the markings in the ring meant anything. On the inside it says Made in Ireland just behind the heart and on the band it has the letters O and C stamped on it/ in it. (It's hard for me to tell if there is a U between those two letters or just the space between them) Then next to that in little boxes I believe the letters are H G R but then again, it's hard for me to make out. Do these marks have any special meaning? are they common. Any answers would be great!

Topic: Second Opinions....
Well I've just phoned Prof Lodge's Secretary , (thanks for posting those details , Jules) .
She said they'll need a letter of referral , so I asked if consultants tend to take umbrage at this , and she ummed and arred for a while before saying yes !
Obviously my health comes first , but at the same time I'm reluctant to burn any bridges with my present team at the Marsden.

BOSTON - A recent survey regarding memorable product launches in 2010 found that -- not surprisingly -- the Apple iPad secured the number-one spot. At number two was Windows 7, followed by Pretzel M&Ms at number three, Motorola Droid at number four and McDonald's Smoothies rounding out the top five.
Other technology products on the list included iPod Nano (number 6) and Samsung 3DTV (number eight). Other food products included Starbucks VIA instant coffer at number seven and the KFC Double Down Sandwich (tied at number 10). Notable consumables product launches included Huggies Jeans Diapers (number nine), Kleenex Hand Towels (tied at number 10)
"Every year the Most Memorable New Product Launch survey teaches us about where our culture is headed." says Julie Hall, Executive Vice President of Schneider Associates. "From the app-revolution evident in the iPad and Droid, to 3D televisions to tiny touch screen devices like the Nano– consumers respond to and love what's 'next and new' in technology."
The online MMNPL survey, conducted by Schneider Associates, Sentient Decision Science and Symphony IRI Group during October, polled a national, census-balanced sample of consumers age 18 and up, and uncovered data related to awareness of new consumer product launches, influential trends, media usage, and purchasing behavior. This is the ninth consecutive year that the Most Memorable New Product Launch survey has been conducted.

Last Week's Results
Tough Test: Midway through a grueling stretch of eight games in 12 days, the Griffins this week will play four road games in five days in four different cities, a gauntlet the likes of which they've faced just two other times in their 12-year history. From March 12-16, 2003, they posted a 2-2 mark on an equally-challenging odyssey to Utah, Houston, San Antonio and Chicago, and from Feb. 22-26, 2006, they went 2-2 on a trip to Rochester, Philadelphia, Syracuse and Hershey. This week's trip concludes with three road games in three cities in as many nights, something the Griffins have faced just six times before. They own an all-time record of 11-5-1-0-1 (W-L-T-OTL-SOL) under such circumstances.
Time to Rise and Shine: This Wednesday's 11:30 a.m. game in Toronto against the North Division leaders will mark the first time in franchise history that the Griffins face off prior to noon in the Eastern Time Zone. The earliest local start for a Griffins game was on Feb. 18, 2004, when Grand Rapids played in Houston at 11 a.m. CST.
Adios, Ciao, Auf Wiedersehen: Sunday's 3-1 loss at Rockford kicked off a five-game road trip (Nov. 25-Dec. 2) for the Griffins, their second-longest road swing of the season (six games, Jan. 31-Feb. 10). Grand Rapids, which started the season 5-0 on the road, is 0-4-0-1 in its last five visits to foreign arenas.
Looking Ahead: The Griffins will host a number of exciting promotions at Van Andel Arena in early December: Dec. 7 – Calvin vs. Hope Hockey – A special 6:30 p.m. Griffins start against Syracuse, followed by a college hockey showdown between rivals Calvin and Hope. Dec. 8 – High School Musical Night – Stars Lucas Grabeel (Ryan) and Chris Warren Jr. (Zeke) from the movie sensation will meet fans and sign autographs before the game, and Grabeel will perform a song during intermission. Dec. 15 – Nashville North – Hit country duo Bomshel will meet fans and sign autographs prior to the game and perform during the first intermission.
Say Goodbye: The Detroit Red Wings on Sunday reassigned Griffins forward Johan Ryno to Djurgardens of the Swedish Elite League. Ryno, Detroit's sixth choice (137th overall) in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, tallied seven points (3-4—7) and a plus-three rating in 12 games with Grand Rapids during his first season in North America.
Other Offensive Notables: Jimmy Howard's assist on Saturday versus Iowa was the fifth of his Griffins career, putting him in second place all time among Grand Rapids' goalies, behind only Joey MacDonald (8)…Rookie Darren Helm had his first two-point game (1-1—2) as a pro on Wednesday against Hamilton…Mattias Ritola's goal on Saturday against Iowa was his first in North America.
Tidings of Comfort and Joy: On Saturday, Mark Cullen's first-period goal unleashed a torrent of stuffed animals that rained down from the stands as part of the team's eighth annual Teddy Bear Toss. An estimated 975 toys were collected and donated to Hug-A-Bears of Kent County, which distributes the toys through many local agencies to provide comfort to young victims of fires, accidents, illness and crimes.
Attendance On the Rise: The Griffins' attendance of 49,512 through nine home games this season (5,501 avg., ninth in AHL) represents a year-to-date increase of 21%, as last season's team welcomed 40,944 fans through its first nine games at Van Andel Arena.
Dubious Records: With last Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to Iowa, the Griffins established new franchise records with an eight-game winless streak at home (0-7-0-1) and a 10-game winless streak overall (0-8-0-2). The previous marks were set during the 2004-05 season (Home winless: 7, 12/11/04-1/15/05, 0-7-0-0; Overall winless: 9, 12/17/04-1/8/05, 0-8-0-1). Saturday's 4-1 win over the Stars ended both streaks.
A Few Firsts: Saturday's 4-1 triumph over Iowa marked the Griffins' first home win and largest margin of victory so far this season, while also giving them their first two-game home point streak (1-0-0-1). In addition, when the Griffins led the Stars 1-0 at the end of the first period on Friday, it marked the first time in 22 home periods this season that they left the ice with a lead.
By the Numbers: The Griffins' scoring differentials this season are plus-three in the first period (21-18), minus-six in the second period (18-24) and minus-13 in the third period (12-25)…All six of Grand Rapids' wins have come after entering the third period with a lead. The team is a perfect 6-0-0-0 when leading after two periods, 0-7-0-1 when trailing and 0-4-0-1 when tied…The Griffins rank sixth in the AHL in shots per game (32.42) but 19th in goals per game (2.74). Similarly, they stand 14th in the league in shots allowed (29.53) but 27th in goals allowed (3.63)…Only three of Grand Rapids' losses this season – and just one of their last 10 – have been by more than two goals…The Griffins have scored a power play goal in four consecutive games, matching their season high (Oct. 11-21).
Strange But True: Grand Rapids is 1-10-0-1 when outshooting its opponents and 5-1-0-1 when being out-shot…The Griffins are 5-2-0-0 when recording 29 or fewer shots, but they own a 1-9-0-2 record in games with 30 or more attempts…Grand Rapids is one game over 0.500 on the road (5-4-0-1) and six games under the break-even mark at home (1-7-0-1).
Taking Advantage: Nine of the 20 power play goals scored by opponents this season have come with Grand Rapids down two men, as Griffins foes have converted during nine of their 11 5-on-3 advantages. By contrast, Grand Rapids has enjoyed only three two-man advantages all season – for a grand total of 14 seconds – and all 16 power play goals scored by the Griffins thus far have come during one-man advantages.
Red Wings Jersey Auction: Twenty-three autographed, game-issued Detroit Red Wings jerseys are being made available for public bidding throughout the 2007-08 season through exclusive auctions that begin at griffinshockey.com and conclude after select Griffins home games. Online bidding, which begins at $250 per jersey, will establish the starting bids for silent auctions that will take place on the arena concourse during Griffins games. Subsequently, the highest bids from the silent auctions will serve as the starting bids for live post-game auctions. The Valtteri Filppula and Pavel Datsyuk jerseys are currently up for bid online, concluding with silent and live auctions at the Dec. 14 game versus Hamilton. Proceeds from the auctions will benefit the Griffins Youth Foundation. For more information and a complete auction schedule, visit griffinshockey.com/fanzone/auctions.

One of a few string/yarn baskets I have, made by the Penobscot Tribe. It is made of Split Ash and twisted Sweet Grass. Parts have been dyed a blue/green but the color is not so vibrant on the outside. Really nice, this one stands at about 12 inches tall. These were made for the tourist trade mostly, to use to store yarn and/or string. The lid has a hole in the top so the string could be pulled through.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
*******ATTENTION PLEASE READ OUR ADOPTION PROCESS BEFORE CONTACTING US******* Many dogs listed are cross posted from high kill shelters in the south. We do pre-adoptions to try to assist these shelters. Most are not yet in Wisconsin, so they are not available to just come visit them. We can assist more by having approved homes for them before they come up on transport.
How the pre-adoption process works for puppies pulled from kill shelters in the south:
-If you see one on petfinder that you are interested in adopting, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for an adoption application.
-Return completed application.
-We look over your application. If you are approved you make a $50 deposit to us through Paypal. Your deposit reserves that puppy for you.
-We work to arrange transport that brings the puppies from the south up to Wisconsin. We will email you to let you know what day transport will be. We will set times to meet adopters along our route back up to Northern Wisconsin. The towns we can meet adopters in our Madison, Portage, Stevens Point, Wausau, Tomahawk, Prentice, Phillips, and Park Falls.
-When we meet you at a designated area you will pay the remainder of the adoption fee and will take home your puppy along with any paperwork he/she comes with.
We do pull adult dogs as well. However we donât generally pre-adopt the adults. We prefer people to come and meet them after they are up in Northern Wisconsin before deciding if the dog is right for you.
Call Bob at 906.285.0819, or email us at email@example.com for information or to recieve an adoption application.
~If you canât adopt, foster If you canât foster, sponsor If you canât sponsor, volunteer If you canât volunteer, donate.. If you canât donate, educate, network and crosspost on social networks. Everyone can do something, large or small, to help save a life~

Mike Rice says he has learned his lesson. Well, the proof will be on display the rest of the season. No coach will be in as bright a spotlight.
Rice — after a three-game suspension and $50,000 fine for verbally abusing players and game officials — rejoined his Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Wednesday in the loss at No. 7 Syracuse. He will again be with this team Saturday vs. No. 24 Pitt.
"It's about what I do daily with practice and what I do daily with my team," Rice said. "That's truly what's going to count."
Rice said it felt good to be back Wednesday. Sort of. In his return to the bench after a 16-day suspension for inappropriate behavior, Rutgers lost 78-53.
"I'm very excited" to be back, Rice said. "I loved the last three or four days of preparation. This is a tough one to swallow because I would have liked to put on a little bit better showing. These things happen in the Big East."

Xavier Thames still isn't fully recovered from a back injury but just couldn't sit any longer.
The San Diego State point guard injured his back Jan. 2. He's sat out two full games, hardly played in another and fought his way through two others.
"We're soldiers out there, and he's our general," SDSU star Jamaal Franklin told The Union-Tribune.
With the Aztecs riding a two-game losing streak, Thames couldn't bear to watch again. So he laced 'em up Wednesday night, gritted his teeth through 20 minutes of game action and helped lead the team to a 78-57 win over Nevada.
Despite clearly being limited in his movements, Thames didn't start but still scored eight points -- including a game-changing 3-pointer with nine minutes left Wednesday night.
He averages 9.7 points and 2.5 assists but means much, much more than numbers to the Aztecs.
"So many things that are non-statistically labeled," coach Steve Fisher said this week. "He's our best help defender. He's always in that gap so if you get beat, he doesn't let you get beat, and he's still able to get back to his man. He saves us two or three baskets a game by being on the floor defensively.
"The same can be said offensively. He gets a little deeper, makes one more probing dribble to where now what might have been a pass that you can't just catch and dunk is a potential catch-and-dunk. Or (the defense) sinks a little further and it's an unguarded 3 as he kicks it back out."
Thames is still considered day-to-day. His health heading into Saturday afternoon's showdown vs. No. 15 New Mexico will be critical.

Meaning: If someone is under a cloud, they are suspected of having done something wrong.

The militarization of the Arctic is in today's lead stories, as the region is playing an important but underrated role in the fragile post Cold-War balance between Washington and Moscow. The access to areas previously hard to reach has convinced most coastal states to increase their claims in the region.

Jayawardene to retire from T20Is
Mahela Jayawardene, the former Sri Lanka captain, will retire from international Twenty20 cricket at the end of the World Twenty20.
The news came a day after his team-mate, Kumar Sangakkara, announced the tournament will be his last in the format as well.
Jayawardene, 36, has played 49 T20Is to date, scoring 1335 runs at 31.78, with a strike rate of 134.17.
He has one century in the format, which came against Zimbabwe in Guyana during the 2010 World T20.
